Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of advanced gas blending system for optimizing the uniform mixing of two or more gaseous phase. More preferably, the present invention pertains to an AI-driven gas blending system for optimizing the gas blending process by dynamically adjusting the gas inflows using artificial intelligence enabling supply of low-carbon gas fuel blend thereby enhancing the fuel efficiency, safety and emergency response in gas supply management and method for producing the said gas blends.

BACKGROUD OF THE INVENTION
Mixing of Hydrogen gas in a fuel leads to a reduction in combustion duration, improve combustion stability and reduction in carbon emission. Therefore, hydrogen blending into natural gas pipelines is a pivotal strategy for decarbonizing energy systems. The most common ratio for mixing hydrogen into natural gas is between 0.1 to 25% by volume or more.
However, existing technologies for mixing of Hydrogen gas into a fuel gas face some significant limitations:
The prior art CN102311825A discloses the method for producing natural gas mixed with hydrogen gas by adjusting the hydrogen and the natural gas to a same pressure grade; but the said system achieves only ±1% accuracy, risking combustion inefficiencies.
US patent application no. US2023357657A1, US20130215704A1 and US patent US12297965B2, discloses a High-Pressure Gas Mixer. The said system discloses an automated blending of hydrogen gas with traditional fuels, such as natural gas, to produce a consistent stream of precision-blended flow with a single customizable, movable and modular unit that is automatically controlled. But the said systems failed to control the uniform mixing pattern in non-continuous supply pipeline.
The non-continuous /intermittent flow of gas blend in supply line creates fluctuation of pressure and that produces a non-uniform mixing of gases because fluctuating pressures alter upstream fluid flow dynamics, creating localized variations in velocity, density, and turbulence, which hinder the thorough and even diffusion of gases. This results in pockets of unevenly mixed or unmixed gas, compromising overall mixture quality. Therefore, the known mixing systems fails to providing homogeneous composition of Hydrogen gas and natural gas in the supply pipeline. These systems lack in mixing precision, safety and real time control on mixing phenomenon. Such uneven distribution of hydrogen within a natural gas stream, where hydrogen concentration varies across different locations and times, can lead to several issues like hydrogen embrittlement, intermittent NOx generation, increased leakage risk and reduced fuel efficiency.
Therefore, homogeneous mixing of hydrogen in natural gas is crucial for safe and efficient use of hydrogen-blended natural gas, particularly in pipelines having low-velocity gas streams and intermittent gas flow. Achieving a homogeneous mixture, where hydrogen gas molecules are evenly distributed, is challenging due to the pressure drop, density difference between hydrogen and natural gas, which can lead to stratification.
In view of the foregoing discussion, it is portrayed that there is a need to have an advance hydrogen gas mixing system that provides a precise mixing, safety, scalability, energy efficiency, dynamic mixing control with respective entire time of continuous mixing process. The inventors have developed an innovative gas blend mixing system using artificial intelligence. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly in machine learning and real-time data processing, offer opportunities to enhance valve operating performance by dynamically adjusting the gas inflow based on real-time operating conditions. Hence, the present invention system prevents uneven gas concentration distributions in supply pipeline to eliminate above said undesired effects of prior arts.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The most immediate and specific application of the present invention is preparing uniform blend of Hydrogen and natural gas stream for supplying gas fuel blend to domestic premises, which is for cleaner energy production.

Non-limiting examples of gases that can be mixed in present invention includes elemental gases, toxic gases or mixed gases.
The present invention provides a gas blending system (100) for optimizing uniform and safe blending of Hydrogen and Natural gas streams. More preferably, the system (100) provides uniform blend of two gases when mixed in a non-continuous supply line, wherein pipeline faces frequent pressure fluctuation.

By doing so, it addresses the limitations of conventional gas mixing apparatuses and provides an advanced, intelligent solution for uniform mixing of Hydrogen gas into the natural gas.
It has been now found that the system for blending gases having different density, and to achieve uniform distribution when mixing two gas blends, the process must overcome density differences that cause stratification, using strategies like controlling pressure drop, controlled velocity mixing, and mixing chamber design for enhancing fluid dynamics to promote diffusion and turbulent mixing in gas streams. Therefore, the present invention provides an advance gas mixing system comprising a mixing zone including static mixers and optimized injection strategies, that employed to enhance mixing and minimize stratification.

-Sourcing Hydrogen gas and natural gas from reservoir in inflow line having flow control valve and safety valves;
-Measuring the process parameters of system using sensors including leak detection and fire detection sensors;
-Feeding value for the hydrogen gas blend proportion in controller via user interfaces and receiving both gases in mixing chamber;
-Detecting the gas parameters using array of sensors and recording the real-time data;
-Adapting to changing conditions of plurality of safety valves using safety valve control module to control safety threats;
-Analysing the flow mixing pattern by calculating the Reynolds number at different location in mixing chamber and at different time interval using real-time data using analysis module (114);
-Maintains turbulent flow (Reynolds numbers 32,841–168,628) with pressure drops of 0.01–0.04 bar using PID control module (116) by operation of flow valves of both gases for precisely receiving the gases stream in mixing chamber; characterized in that the said module (116) controls the flow valves to achieve uniform mixing with accuracy ±1% using artificial intelligence (AI) for dynamic control on operating flow valves and finally obtaining blend of uniformly mixed gases at the outlet;
-Enabling communication between the system and external devices for remote monitoring and control using a user interface;
-Securely storing all collected data and system logs using a system log unit for future analysis and reference.
