Patent number: 4950308Abstract: The apparatus for producing a product gas from a fine-grained carbon-bearing substance during a high-pressure gasification comprises a vertical gasifier and radiative cooling device, a vertical convective cooling device through which a flow occurs from top to bottom and a connecting pipe between a head of the gasifier and radiative cooling device and a head of the convective cooling device. The gasifier and radiative cooling device comprises a pipe-like shaft, a lower cinder outlet and an upper conical connecting piece for the connecting pipe. The shaft is constructed as an equal speed flow duct, which is not equipped for feeding a foreign cooling means, but is designed so that solidification of the accompanying cinders travelling with the product gas occurs by radiative cooling.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1989Date of Patent: August 21, 1990Assignee: Krupp Koppers GmbHInventors: Michael Lang, Gerhard Wilmer, Michael Kuhn

Patent number: 4936873Abstract: The cooling of a stream of hot product gas exiting from an outlet opening of a gasification reactor is made by way of two separate partial streams of cooling fluid such as a cooling gas, vapor or liquid. The first partial stream of the cooling fluid is fed from the outside substantially in a radial direction against an outer layer of the product gas stream. The second partial stream of cooling liquid is fed axially in a counter direction to the product gas stream to impinge against a central portion thereof. In this manner the path of mixing of the product gas with the cooling fluid is substantially shortened.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1989Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Krupp Koppers GmbHInventor: Hans-Gunter Richard

Patent number: 4810417Abstract: A process for the simultaneous production of methanol synthesis gas and ammonia synthesis gas proceeds from the crude gas of a coal gasification, which initially is subjected to a H.sub.2 S-washing at low temperatures. Then follows a splitting of the desulfurized gas into two partial streams, of which one partial stream is led directly into the CO.sub.2 -washing which serves for production of the methanol-synthesis gas. Another partial stream is in contrast initially subjected to a conversion. From the converted gas then a partial stream is branched off which is provided for the production of ammonia-synthesis gas, whereas the remainder of the converted gas is led into the CO.sub.2 -washing serving for the production of the methanol-synthesis gas. The partial straem serving for the production of the ammonia-synthesis gas is treated to a separate CO.sub.2 -washing, in which simultaneously the so-called purge gas from the ammonia-synthesis is led in.
