  • Patent number: 8591631
    Abstract: A method of assembling an acid gas component reduction system includes coupling at least one acid removal system in flow communication with at least one first synthetic gas (syngas) stream with at least one acid gas component having a first acid gas component concentration. The method also includes coupling at least one integral absorber in flow communication with the at least one acid removal system. The method further includes configuring the at least one integral absorber such that substantially continuous service of the at least one integral absorber facilitates producing a second syngas stream having a second acid gas component concentration that is less than the first acid gas component concentration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2013
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Sachin Naphad, Pradeep Thacker
  • Patent number: 8580001
    Abstract: A method of assembling a gasification reactor includes extending at least one reactant injection member into the gasification reactor. The method also includes extending at least one fluid injection conduit including a plurality of fluid injection passages defined therein into the gasification reactor. At least a portion of the at least one fluid injection conduit circumscribes at least a portion of the at least one reactant injection member.

  • Patent number: 7892324
    Abstract: Methods and systems for handling sour carbon dioxide (CO2) streams are provided. In one aspect, a method for sequestering an emissions-heavy gas includes removing at least a portion of an acid gas from a rich solvent in an acid gas stripper to create the emissions-heavy gas, and channeling the emissions-heavy gas to a storage system.

  • Patent number: 7708801
    Abstract: A system and methods of reducing sulfur emissions are provided. In one embodiment, a method for reducing sulfur emissions is provided. The method includes routing at least a portion of an untreated gas to a low pressure absorber, removing at least a portion of sulfur from the untreated gas to create a low pressure absorber overhead gas, and further processing the low pressure absorber overhead gas.
