  • Publication number: 20090119990
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus may permit the generation of consistent output synthesis gas from highly variable input feedstock solids carbonaceous materials. A stoichiometric objectivistic chemic environment may be established to stoichiometrically control carbon content in a solid carbonaceous materials gasifier system. Processing of carbonaceous materials may include dominative pyrolytic decomposition and multiple coil carbonaceous reformation. Dynamically adjustable process determinative parameters may be utilized to refine processing, including process utilization of negatively electrostatically enhanced water species, process utilization of flue gas (9), and adjustment of process flow rate characteristics. Recycling may be employed for internal reuse of process materials, including recycled negatively electrostatically enhanced water species, recycled flue gas (9), and recycled contaminants.

  • Publication number: 20050279711
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing animal waste are disclosed. Effluent, including waste solids and water, is received. The effluent is at least partly separated into solids and water. The separated water is processed using a dissolved air flotation device and/or a reverse osmosis system to clarify the separated water. The separated solids are transferred to a gasifier, which processed the separated solids to form a least a first gas.
