Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the utilization of a feedstock essentially comprising nitrogen-organic compounds, in which the utilization takes place by gasifying the feedstock under normal pressure or an increased pressure, up to 40 bar, at temperatures at least about 900° C., and preferably between 1100° C., and 1600° C., by partial oxidation using a gasifying medium containing free oxygen, as a flame reaction in an entrained bedgasifier. An apparatus for carrying out the process is described.

Abstract: A reactor for the gasification of carbon-containing fuels, residues and waste by an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent in a reaction space designed as a fly stream reactor, at pressures of between ambient pressure and 80 bar, preferably between ambient pressure and 30 bar, the reaction space contour being delimited by a refractory lining within a pressure casing, wherein the temperature of the pressure casing can be regulated, the pressure casing having cooling ducts affixed to an outer surface thereof.

Abstract: A method for gasification of halogen containing remainders and waste materials is provided including obtaining a reactant including halogen containing remainders and/or halogen containing waste, and where necessary an additional combustible. The reactant has a heat value of greater than 6 MJ/kg and is reacted with a gasification agent containing free oxygen into a crude gas using a flame reaction at a pressure in excess of ambient pressure to a final temperature of at least 1100° C. The crude gas contains carbon monoxide, hydrogen-containing gas and/or halogen/hydrogen containing gas. The crude gas can then be cooled and further processed.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for regenerating a liquid from a spent liquid containing sodium compounds created during kraft processing for pulping wood while simultaneously obtaining energy. Regeneration begins by gasifying said sodium compounds in a gasification reaction chamber at a temperature greater than the melting temperature of the sodium compounds and generating a gasification gas and salt melt. The gasification gas and salt melt are then directly cooled to a temperature greater than the dew point in the quenching chamber by spraying a cooling liquid which, in turn, causes gaseous condensate to form a bath in the quenching chamber which may also include water from kraft processing. The salt melt dissolves in the bath to produce an aqueous solution. This aqueous solution is then cooled and diluted with alkali liquid produced during the kraft process.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for feeding dewatered sludge into a reactor for thermal disposal, in which process and apparatus dewatered sludge with a water content of less than 85% is subjected to a temperature-pressure treatment after exiting from a thick-matter pump and prior to its atomization within a disposal reactor. In the temperature-pressure treatment the temperature is adjusted to more than 150.degree. C. and the pressure is adjusted to be equal to or greater than the water vapor/saturation pressure at these temperatures.

Abstract: A reactor (7) for gasifying materials that contain carbon under pressure has a tube wall (20) that has coolant flowing through it and is lined with a refractory material (21). The outlet (9) from the reactor (7) points down and opens into a cooler (10). The reactor is accommodated in a pressurized vessel (1) along with the cooler (10) and can be released and removed independently.
