Adrianus J. Ooms has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Apparatus for cooling and purifying a hot gas
    Patent number: 5011507
    Abstract: The present process is directed to the cooling and cleaning of hot crude synthesis gas leaving a gas generator (solid hydrocarbon gasification reactor) wherein the hot crude synthesis gas leaving the top of the gas generator in an upflow direction is quenched by injection of cold purified synthesis gas. The gas velocity is then reduced and the gas stream is reversed in a downflow direction whereupon the gas velocity is increased again. The gas stream is again reversed in an upflow direction and the gas velocity is decreased whereafter the gas is indirectly cooled and flyash being separated therefrom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 1990
    Date of Patent: April 30, 1991
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company
    Inventors: Jacob H. Stil, Adrianus J. Ooms, Bernardus H. Mink

  • Process for treating syngas using a gas reversing chamber
    Patent number: 4859214
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reversing the flow of a synthesis gas from a coal gasification reactor containing solids that tend to cause fouling of heat transfer surfaces by adjusting the volume and shape of a gas-reversal space within a chamber downstream of the reactor.
