Patent number: 8758458Abstract: A gasifier includes a combustion chamber in which a fuel is burned to produce a syngas and a particulated solid residue. A quench chamber is disposed downstream of the combustion chamber. A dip tube is disposed coupling the combustion chamber to the quench chamber. The syngas is directed to contact liquid coolant in the quench chamber and produce a cooled syngas. A draft tube is disposed surrounding the dip tube such that an annular passage is formed. A baffle is disposed proximate to an exit path of the quench chamber. The cooled syngas is directed through the annular passage and impacted against the baffle so as to remove entrained liquid content from the cooled syngas before it is directed through the exit path. A cross sectional area of the annular passage is larger towards the bottom of the quench chamber and smaller towards the top of the quench chamber.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Prashant Tiwari, Gregory Michael Laskowski, Judeth Brannon Corry, Helge Burghard Herwig Klockow, Allyson Joy Jimenez-Huyke, Shailesh Singh Bhaisora, Steven Craig Russell, Karl Hardcastle, Jennifer Lynn Moyer, Scott Reginald Parent, Yulianto Salahuddin Mohsin

The syngas is directed from the combustion chamber to the quench chamber via the dip tube to contact the liquid coolant and produce a cooled syngas. A draft tube surrounds the dip tube such that an annular passage is formed between the draft tube and the dip tube. An asymmetric or symmetric faceted baffle is disposed proximate to an exit path of the quench chamber. The cooled syngas is directed through the annular passage and impacted against the baffle so as to remove entrained liquid content from the cooled syngas before the cooled syngas is directed through the exit path.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Prashant Tiwari, Gregory Michael Laskowski, Judeth Brannon Corry, Helge Burghard Herwig Klockow, Allyson Joy Jimenez-Huyke, Shailesh Singh Bhaisora, Steven Craig Russell, Karl Hardcastle, Jennifer Lynn Moyer, Scott Reginald Parent, Yulianto Salahuddin Mohsin

Patent number: 8424877Abstract: A method and systems for a purged seal for an annular space are provided. The purged seal includes a first baffle element that extends from an inner surface of the annular space into the annular space at an oblique angle and a second baffle element that extends from an outer surface of the annular space above the first baffle element in a direction opposite gravity flow into the annular space wherein the second baffle element extends at an oblique angle. The system also includes a third baffle element that extends from the inner surface above the first baffle element in a direction of gravity flow into the annular space wherein the third baffle element extends into the annular space at an oblique angle with respect to the inner surface and wherein a distal end of the third baffle element is positioned proximate a distal end of the second baffle element.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Constantin Dinu, James Michael Storey, Aaron John Avagliano, Douglas S.

Patent number: 8197564Abstract: A method of assembling a synthesis gas (syngas) cooler for a gasification system includes positioning a dip tube within a shell of the syngas cooler. The dip tube is configured to quench the syngas flowing through the shell and/or at least partially channel the syngas through the dip tube. The method also includes coupling an isolation tube to the dip tube such that the isolation tube is substantially concentrically aligned with, and radially outward of, the dip tube. The isolation tube is coupled in flow communication with a purge gas source and is configured to at least partially form a dynamic pressure seal. The method further includes coupling at least one of the isolation tube and the dip tube in fluid communication with a fluid retention chamber. The method also include at least partially filling the fluid retention chamber with fluid, thereby further forming the dynamic pressure seal.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2008Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Allyson Joy Jimenez-Huyke, James Michael Storey, John Saunders Stevenson, Aaron John Avagliano, Thomas Frederick Leininger, Judeth Brannon Corry
