How GenesisLoop™ can be configured

The most common question we get about GenesisLoop™ is also the most fundamental: how does it actually work? Not the headline — converting waste into clean energy — but the mechanics. What is happening inside the system? Why three stages? What comes out at each step?

This is a plain-language walkthrough of the GenesisLoop™ three-reactor configuration — what happens in each stage, why the stages are separated, and what that separation means for the quality and value of the outputs.

"The separation of reaction stages is not an engineering quirk. It is the entire point. It is what makes the outputs clean, separated, and commercially useful."

The starting point: why separate the stages at all?

In a conventional combustion or gasification process, everything happens in one place. Fuel contacts air. Oxygen reacts with the fuel. Heat is released. The products — CO₂, water vapor, nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons, particulates — all emerge together in a mixed flue gas that requires extensive downstream treatment before any of it is commercially useful.

Chemical-looping separates what combustion conflates. By using a solid oxygen carrier to transfer oxygen from air to fuel — without the two streams ever meeting directly — the reactions that release energy and produce useful gases are isolated into discrete reactor environments. Each reactor produces a distinct, relatively pure output stream.

Three reactors. Three separated streams. That is the architecture of GenesisLoop™.

The conversion reactor

Prepared feedstock enters the conversion reactor with oxidized Revodox™ arriving from the carrier regenerator.

Revodox™ transfers oxygen in controlled amounts as carbon-rich molecules are broken apart and reformed into a syngas pathway. Because the material does not contact air directly, the primary gas avoids the large nitrogen flow introduced by air-fed conversion.

Material composition, carrier circulation, temperature, residence time, and gas-cleanup design are engineered around the waste stream and target product.

Conversion-reactor pathway: syngas, a CO₂-rich process stream, and reduced Revodox™ moving to the next active stage or back toward regeneration.

The optional steam reactor

When a project is configured for hydrogen, reduced Revodox™ moves into a separate steam reactor. The carrier takes oxygen from steam and releases a hydrogen-rich gas stream while becoming partially restored.

The reactor architecture keeps that hydrogen-rich stream separate from the conversion gas and the air-regeneration stream. Downstream conditioning and purification establish the final hydrogen specification required by the buyer.

Steam-reactor pathway: a separate hydrogen-rich gas stream and partially restored Revodox™.

“A hydrogen configuration adds a controlled steam reaction to the core conversion-and-regeneration loop.”

The carrier regenerator

Revodox™ enters the carrier regenerator and contacts air. An exothermic oxidation reaction restores the carrier and releases high-temperature heat.

The hot, regenerated carrier returns to the conversion reactor with oxygen and thermal energy for the next cycle. This internal heat loop is engineered to provide most of the core process heat after startup, reducing the need for purchased fuel or electric heating.

The regeneration gas remains separate from the carbon-bearing product streams because the waste never enters this reactor.

Carrier-regenerator outputs: restored Revodox™ returned to the conversion reactor, high-temperature recoverable heat, and a separate oxygen-depleted regeneration stream.

What this means for the outputs

The modular architecture can produce syngas, a separate hydrogen-rich gas stream, recoverable high-temperature heat, and a CO₂-rich process stream. Each follows a distinct commercial path through conditioning, purification, downstream conversion, heat recovery, or carbon management.

The advantage begins inside the process. Controlled oxygen transfer limits nitrogen dilution. Separate reactor environments keep gas streams distinct as they form. Exothermic carrier regeneration returns heat to the loop instead of requiring the process to buy all of its thermal energy from outside.

That combination creates a precise and efficient path from waste to marketable energy.
