Patent number: 9365784Abstract: A coal gasifier is retrofitted to achieve multiple advantages such as reduced oxygen consumption, reduced CO2 and NOx emissions, better H:C ratio, better carbon conversion etc. This is achieved by dividing the coal into at least two zones and modifying the gasifier and operating it as described. The coal is injected into a first zone, configured to devolatilize a substantial portion of the injected coal to produce coal char and volatiles. The operation is tuned to substantially consume the oxidant injected in the first zone. A low-calorific-value, high oxidant feedstock is injected in second zone of the gasifier. The devolatilization of the low-calorific-value, high oxidant content feedstock provides the oxygen containing compounds which gasify at least a portion of the coal char generated in the first zone.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Vladimir Zamansky, Vitali Victor Lissianski, Boris Nikolaevich Eiteneer, Wei Wei, Ravichandra Srinivasa Jupudi, Ramanathan Subramanian

Patent number: 8574329Abstract: A method of operating a gasifier is provided that envisions dividing the gasifier into multiple zones. A high-calorific-value feedstock with an oxidant is injected in the first zone. The gasifier is operated to substantially consume the oxidant within the first gasification zone. The method of operating the gasifier further includes injecting a low-calorific-value, high-oxygen-content feedstock in a second gasification zone. The low-calorific-value, high-oxygen-content feedstock is devolatilized and gasified in second zone. A method of operation provides for a synergistic co-gasification of the high-calorific-value feedstock and the low-calorific-value, high oxidant content feedstock. The method provides for specific control actions that enable operation of multi-fuel, multizone gasifier.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Vladimir Zamansky, Vitali Lissianski, Boris Nikolaevich Eiteneer, Wei Wei, Ravichandra Srinivasa Jupudi, Ramanathan Subramanian

The apparatus includes a plurality of electrodes including at least one emitter electrode and at least one attracting electrode, and the plurality of electrodes are in fluid communication with the air inlet. The apparatus can include a potential generating device capable of applying a potential across the plurality of electrodes sufficient to cause a corona current between the at least one emitter electrode and the at least one attracting electrode. The corona current imparts momentum to surrounding gaseous atoms and molecules. The momentum results in a net fluid flow towards and through the one air inlet. And, the apparatus can still further include a fuel cell disposed within the volume and configured to receive the net fluid flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ganapathisubbu Sethuvenkatraman, Mahendra Madhukar Patil, Ravichandra Srinivasa Jupudi
