  • Publication number: 20140000379
    Abstract: A gasification reactor comprising a pressure vessel encasing a gasifier. Strain gauges are provided in the space between the gasifier and the pressure vessel on one or more parts loaded by weight of slag within the gasifier, e.g., at the exterior surface of the gasifier wall and/or coolant supply lines. Formation of slag deposits and/or pressure within the gasifier is monitored by measuring strain development in parts exposed to stress induced by weight of the slag deposits or induced by internal pressure, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20140004008
    Abstract: A gasification reactor including a gasifier having a tubular gastight wall with a discharge channel or dip at its lower end leading into a lower slag collection bath. The gastight wall and the slag collection bath are arranged within a pressure vessel. An annular space between the pressure vessel and the gasifier with the discharge channel is separated in a high pressure top section and a low pressure lower section by a sealing arrangement having a damper. The damper can for instance be a hydraulic, or a lower at a distance below an upper seal.

  • Patent number: 8475546
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20110303245
    Abstract: A hydrojet cleaning device (1) for cleaning the interior of a curved or coiled tubular device comprising a flexible hose (3) having one end connectable to a supply of pressurized water, and one end provided with a jet nozzle (5). The flexible hose is provided with a plurality of circumferential spacers (6) distributed over at least a section of the length of the hose. The spacers can for example comprise pulleys (11). Method of cleaning a coiled tubular line, such as a spiralled heat exchanger using such a hydrojet cleaning device. The distance between the spacers may, e.g., be such that the section of the hose between the spacers is entirely spaced from the interior wall of the tubular line wall over its full length.
