  • Publication number: 20100163803
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of gas products from a raw synthesis gas (feedstock) that is obtained by gasification of carbon and/or heavy oil and that contains largely soot-free hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) as well as sour gases (CO2, H2S, and COS), as well as a device for implementing the process. At least three gas products are produced in parallel from the feedstock by means of water gas shift, sour gas wash, secondary gas cleaning, and the mixing and/or recycling of process streams, whereby the gas products are pure hydrogen (31) and/or pure carbon monoxide (48) and/or ammonia synthesis gas (NH3 syngas) (36) and/or methanol synthesis gas (MeOH syngas) (69) and/or synthesis gas for an oxo-alcohol synthesis (Oxo syngas) (62) and/or combustible gas for a gas turbine (IGCC fuel) (72) and/or synthesis gas for a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FT syngas) (65).

  • Publication number: 20100140991
    Abstract: A vehicle seat (1), in particular commercial vehicle seat, is provided with a framework, in particular scissors-type framework (3), a seat frame (10) which is articulated thereon via a pivot axis (B), and a backrest (20) which is attached to the seat frame (10) and by means of which a torque acts about the pivot axis (B) on the seat frame (10) in the event of a crash or misuse. The framework (3) has a first catch element (31) and the seat frame (10) has a second catch element (32) which normally do not interact. In the event of a crash or misuse, the catch elements approach each other and then interact creating a further path for the force flux.

  • Patent number: 7618261
    Abstract: Aspects of a distribution connecting module for teleconununications and data systems technology include a housing inside of which input and output contacts are arranged to be accessible from the exterior of the housing. The housing is provided with a cavity inside of which at least one printed circuit board is arranged. The input and output contacts are situated on the opposing faces of the housing. The input contacts are provided in the form of at least one connector strip with insulation displacement contacts. The input and output contacts can be detachably connected to the printed circuit board. The connector strip supporting the input contacts is detachably connected to the housing via a front part. When the connection between the front part and the housing is released, the connector strip, which is connected to the front part, is, together with the fork contacts, moved away from the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 7572363
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for generating at least two types of steam having different purities in steam reforming processes in which at least two steam reforming units (steam reformers) (are operated in parallel. The first steam stream having a higher purity than that of the second steam stream. The steam reformers operated in parallel are combined to form groups of at least two steam reformers (groups) within which the high purity steam is generated in one of the steam reformers by vaporization of degassed and demineralized water and low purity steam is generated in at least one of the other steam reformers by vaporization of degassed impurity-containing water (dirty water).
