  • Patent number: 6743280
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating entrained particles from a gas in a fluidised bed reactor system and fluidised bed reactor system including a particle separator for separating entrained particles from a gas. The particles are separated from the gas flowing in a direction other than the main gas flow direction, whereby the separation is multidimensional. The gas is allowed to pass from the outside of the configuration to the inside thereof and/or vice versa, wherein the particles are separated from the gas during such a travel. The gas flow can be multileveled.

  • Patent number: 5213587
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the refining of a raw gas produced from a carbonaceous material by means of a gasification process, refining taking place in a secondary stage separated from the gasifier. In order to reduce the gas contents of tar in the form of organic compounds condensible at lower temperatures, such as ambient temperatures, and of ammonia, the refining is carried out in a secondary stage being a fast circulating fluidized bed, the bed material of which at least mainly being an active material in the form of a material that is catalytic for tar and ammonia conversion, whereby a catalytic conversion of tar and ammonia contained in the raw gas is obtained. In order to decrease the content of hydrogen chloride in the gas, an active material that also can absorb chloride is used.
