Patent number: 8475546Abstract: A reactor vessel includes a dipleg connecting a tubular syngas collection chamber and a quench chamber. The collection chamber connects to the dipleg via a slag tap having a frusto-conical part starting from the lower end of the collection chamber and diverging to an opening connected to an interior of the dipleg. The slag tap has a first tubular part connected to the opening of the frusto-conical part and extending in the direction of the dipleg. A second tubular part connects to the frusto-conical part or to the tubular part and extends toward the dipleg. The second tubular part is spaced away from the dipleg to provide an annular space having a discharge conduit. The discharge conduit has a discharge opening located to direct water along the inner wall of the dipleg. At least half of the vertical length of the first tubular part extends below the discharge opening.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventors: Benedict Ignatius Maria Ten Bosch, Thomas Ebner, Wouter Koen Harteveld, Hans Joachim Heinen, Manfred Heinrich Schmitz-Goeb

Publication number: 20090214813Abstract: A flame retardant polymer fiber, a process for making such a fiber, and a material containing such fibers are provided. The flame retardant polymer fiber is a high tenacity fiber formed of a poly(trimethylene terephthalate) co-polymer containing a trimethylene terephthalate monomer and a phosphorous containing flame retardant monomer. The flame retardant PTT co-polymer fiber is produced by a process in which the trimethylene terephthalate monomer or its precursors and the phosphorous containing flame retardant monomer or its precursors are combined to form the PTT co-polymer in one or more pre-polymerization and polymerization steps, and the PTT co-polymer is spun into a fiber. Materials including such flame retardant PTT co-polymer fibers, e.g. carpets and textiles, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Inventors: Robert Van Den Berg, Wouter Koen Harteveld, Hans Joachim Heinen, Thomas Paul Von Kossak-Glowczewski
