Patent number: 10697032Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing syngas in combined operation with a metallurgical plant which comprises at least one blast furnace for producing crude iron, a converter steel mill and a coke-oven plant. Part of the blast-furnace top gas that is produced in the production of crude iron and/or part of the converter gas that occurs in the converter steel mill and/or part of the coke-oven gas that is produced in the coke-oven plant are mixed. By choosing the gas streams that are brought together to form a mixed gas and/or by changing the mixing ratios of the gas streams that are brought together, at least two streams of useful gas are produced, differing with regard to their composition and respectively prepared to form streams of syngas.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Reinhold Achatz, Jens Wagner, Markus Oles, Peter Schmöle, Ralph Kleinschmidt, Denis Krotov, Olaf von Morstein, Karsten Büker

Patent number: 10519102Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing ammonia gas and CO2 for urea synthesis. In the process of the invention, a process gas containing nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide as main components is produced from a metallurgical gas. The metallurgical gas consists of blast furnace gas, or contains blast furnace gas at least as a mixing component. The process gas is fractionated to give a gas stream containing the CO2 component and a gas mixture consisting primarily of N2 and H2. An ammonia gas suitable for the urea synthesis is produced from the gas mixture by means of ammonia synthesis. CO2 is branched off from the CO2-containing gas stream in a purity and amount suitable for the urea synthesis.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Christoph Meißner, Denis Krotov, Olaf von Morstein, Matthias Patrick Krüger

Patent number: 8920544Abstract: A method for removing acid gases from a fluid flow using an absorbent including an aqueous solution with at least two different amines. An amine in a proportion of greater than 50 wt. % of the total amine amount in the aqueous solution is the first amine component in the aqueous solution, and a sterically hindered amine in a proportion of less than 50 wt. % is the second amine component in the aqueous solution. The fluid flow is brought into contact with the absorbent at a partial pressure of <200 mbar.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Uhde GmbHInventors: Johannes Menzel, Olaf Von Morstein

Publication number: 20140305131Abstract: A method for feeding back exhaust gas from a gas turbine with a downstream waste heat boiler, wherein this exhaust gas is metered into the air inflow stream of a gas turbine, with the result that the temperature and the composition of the exhaust gas can be controlled, and in this way highly concentrated carbon dioxide (CO2) is obtained which can be injected into a storage facility, so that the balance of the carbon dioxide for the entire process can be kept low or is negligible. The temperature in the gas turbine can be lowered and the proportion of carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas can be considerably increased. After combustion has taken place and heat has been exchanged, gas washing is possible, carbon dioxide can be recovered and, the proportion of free oxygen in the exhaust gas can be lowered.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2012Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: Thyssenkrupp UHDE GmbHInventors: Holger Thielert, Olaf Von Morstein, Jan Schoeneberger

Patent number: 8512444Abstract: With a method and a system for treatment of a hot crude gas generated by an entrained flow gasification system, removal of the compounds that contain sulfur and carbon is supposed to be undertaken in such a manner that hot gas is made available for further use. This is achieved in that a desulfurization (7) follows the gasifier (2), in series, in the flow path of the hot gas, followed by a solid separation (8, 9), whereby behind the solid separation (8, 9), a partial stream (13) of the gas is provided downstream by way of a water quench (14), a Venturi scrubber (15), a crude gas cooler (16), as well as an H2O separation (17) and a compressor (18), the flow path (19) of which is passed back, cooled, into the circuit, behind the gasification (2) and ahead of the desulfurization system.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Uhde GmbHInventors: Ralf Abraham, Michael Rieger, Domenico Pavone, Olaf Von Morstein
