Abstract: A reactor for gasification of feedstocks for gasification, adapted to handle feedstocks for gasification comprising organic and inorganic compounds, wherein said compounds during gasification in the presence of oxygen and/or air at a gasification temperature, wherein the melting temperatures of the constituent inorganic compounds is at least 100° C. lower than the gasification temperature, are converted to a hot reducing gas above 950° C. but below 1300° C.

Abstract: Process for gasification of an alkali containing energy rich aqueous solution (120) from a pulp mill in an entrained flow gasification reactor (2), the process comprising the steps of d) Supplying said alkali containing energy rich aqueous solution (120) to said gasification reactor (2), e) Gasifying said alkali containing energy rich aqueous solution (120) in the reactor (2) by using an oxidizing medium at sub-stoichiometric conditions and at a temperature below 1400 C in an outlet of said reactor (2); and, f) Producing a phase of a liquid material and a phase of a gaseous material in said reactor (2). wherein in step (a) supplying a bio-oil (110) to said gasification reactor (2), in step (b) simultaneously gasifying said alkali containing energy rich aqueous solution (120) and said bio-oil (110) in the reactor (2).

Abstract: Method for recovering chemicals and energy from sulphite thick liquor containing organic and inorganic compounds obtained when producing pulp by chemical delignification of fibrous raw material using a sulphite pulping process, the method including processing of the organic and inorganic compounds at a global temperature above 800° C. whereby producing partly at least one phase of a liquid material and partly at least one phase of a gaseous material. The processing is carried out by gasification of the sulphite thick liquor in a gasification reactor at sub-stoichiometric conditions and in the presence of an oxidizing medium. The reactor has an opening in its bottom in the form of a chute which opens directly into a quench compartment.

Abstract: A process (44) for the production of pulp and paper (28), recycling of cooking chemicals (3, 29), combustion of biomass (30, 37) and generation of heat and electric energy (27, 40) comprising a pulp and paper mill (28), in that the part of the process which is recycling cooking chemicals is adjusted from combustion (29) to gasification (3) to generate synthesis gas (14); and that biomass is added (33, 39) in an amount sufficient for compensating of the decrease in heat and electricity generation as a consequence of the generation of synthesis gas (14).

Abstract: A process for the production of power from a carbonaceous fuel comprising partially oxidizing the fuel with oxygen or an oxygen containing gas to yield a combustible gas stream and sensible heat, said sensible heat or a major part thereof being transferred to the power producing unit together with the combustible gas. The power producing unit is a humid air turbine cycle.
