Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a granular bed filtration system with gas entrained recycling for thermal power plants to filter dust from the exhaust gas. The granular bed filtration system comprises a flow channel, a gas intake, a gas exhaust portion, a granular sieving unit, a vacuum, a cyclone separator and a pneumatic transporting device. The flow channels guide filtering media to filter the inlet gas, and then the filtered gas is exhausted through the gas exhaust outside of the granular bed filtration system. The granular sieving unit separates the filtering media and dust. The vacuum, pneumatic transporting device and cyclone separator repeatedly deliver the filtering media by gas-entrainment recycle.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for minimizing a quantity of particulate matter entrained within a gas stream is provided. A coarse filter removes at least a portion of particulate matter having a relatively-large particle size from the gas stream. An agglomerator agglomerates particulate matter having a relatively-small particle size remaining in the gas stream into particulate clusters after the portion of the particulate matter having the relatively-large particle size has been removed by the coarse filter. An injector introduces an agglomerating material into the gas stream before the gas stream enters the agglomerator. The agglomerating material promotes agglomeration of the particulate matter having the relatively-small particle size into the particulate clusters. And a second filter receives the gas stream and removes at least a portion of the particulate clusters entrained within the gas stream exiting the agglomerator.

Abstract: An apparatus for the degassing of a dust from a synthesis gas produced by a gasification process, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a main dust separator, a multi-purpose vessel, fluid for degassing and cooling and a storage facility for dust. The synthesis gas produced is conducted via a connecting pipe to a main dust separator, from which a de-dusted raw synthesis gas stream and a dust-like solid which also contains raw synthesis gas in the voids between the dust particles can be removed. The dust-like solid is directed into a multi-purpose vessel equipped with devices for reducing the pressure level so that a tail gas is obtained and a solid containing lower gas quantities in the void fraction remains. There is a device for transporting a solid into a gas exchange apparatus, the latter comprising a gas exchange tank, a dust separator and a feed device for exchange gas. It is possible to reduce the gas exchange tank to atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for reducing material in particle form in a fluidization zone and at elevated temperature, in particular for reducing fine ore, the particle material being held in the fluidization zone by a treatment gas which flows upward from below. Material in fine particle form is discharged from the fluidization zone with the treatment gas and is separated out of the treatment gas in a deposition zone. In the deposition zone, the stream of treatment gas and discharged material in fine particle form are fed into a separating device which removes the fine particle material from the treatment gas, the treatment gas is extracted from the separating device as off-gas, and the separated fine particle material is removed from the separating device. Coarse-grained material is then introduced into the deposition zone. This reduces the levels of caking and deposits of the fine particle material. A device for carrying out the process includes elements defining the zones.
