  • Patent number: 10393106
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for pumping a feedstock slurry through a device. The system includes a pressure pump, a first sensor, a second sensor, a controller, and a control valve. The pressure pump includes a plunger configured to pressurize the slurry to a first pressure prior to the slurry entering the device. The first sensor is configured to sense a second pressure of the slurry entering the device. The second sensor is configured to sense the position of the plunger. The controller is configured to determine a change of position of the plunger based on the sensed position of the plunger and to control the movement of the plunger by setting a plunger mode based on the second pressure of the slurry and the change of position of the plunger. The control valve is configured to control the flow rate of the slurry through the device.

  • Publication number: 20160223087
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for controlling a carbonaceous feedstock into a devolatilization reactor. The system includes a control valve system for modulating slurry. The control valve system includes a valve, an actuator, and a position controller. The valve includes a flow restrictor and a seat. The valve may be configured to control the flow of the slurry, wherein when the flow restrictor is engaged with the seat, the valve is in a close position, and when the flow restrictor is not engaged with the seat, the valve is in an open position. The actuator may be configured to control opening and closing of the valve. The actuator may be coupled to the position controller. The position controller may be configured to determine the position of the actuator. The seat may be configured to support the flow restrictor.

  • Patent number: 8690977
    Abstract: A system for gasifying a carbonaceous feedstock, such as municipal waste, to generate power includes a devolatilization reactor that creates char from the feedstock and a gasifier that creates a product gas from both the char and from volatiles released when devolatilizing the feedstock. The product gas is reacted in a fuel cell to create electrical energy and process heat. The process heat is used to heat the devolatilization reactor and the gasifier. The gasifier comprises a plurality of configurable circuits that can each be tuned to meet the individual needs of the char material being gasified.
