Abstract: An ASG system for polygeneration with CC includes a devolatilizer that pyrolyzes solid fuel to produce char and gases. A burner adds exothermic heat by high-pressure sub-stoichiometric combustion, a mixing pot causes turbulent flow of the gases to heat received solid fuel, and a riser micronizes resulting friable char. A devolatilizer cyclone separates the micronized char by weight providing micronized char, steam and gases to a gasifier feed and oversized char to the mixing pot. An indirect fluid bed gasifier combustion loop includes a gasifier coupled to the gasifier feed, a steam input to provide oxygen for gasification and to facilitate sand-char separation, and an output for providing syngas. A burner provides POC to a mixing pot which provides hot sand with POC to a POC cyclone via a riser, where the POC cyclone separates sand and POC by weight and provides POC and sand for steam-carbon reaction.

Abstract: A configuration assistance module (CAM) includes a configuration monitor (CM), a configuration analyzer (CA), and a configuration database of one or more supported platform configurations. The CM may and collect hardware and software inventory, e.g., PCIe matrix information, DIMM matrix information, blade configuration information and configuration information for various resources. The CAM may compare the current configuration to the supported configurations, report discrepancies through alerts, and create assist reports. An assist report may be stored to a remote share or master partition and displayed to a GUI, console interface, or the like. The CA module may take an assist report as input and create an analytics report, which may proactively provide inputs for future configurations.
