  • Method for generating syngas from biomass including transfer of heat from thermal cracking to upstream syngas
    Patent number: 8936886
    Abstract: Biomass is gasified to generate syngas. The syngas is subjected to thermal cracking. Heat from syngas exiting a thermal cracking stage is transferred to syngas entering the thermal cracking stage. Biomass gasification apparatus may include a thermal pathway connected to transfer heat from an outlet of a thermal cracking process to an inlet of the thermal cracking process. Energy efficiency is enhanced. Syngas may be used as fuel for engines or fuel cells, burned to yield heat, or processed into a fuel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 20, 2015
    Assignee: Nexterra Systems Corp.
