  • Gasification system flow damping
    Patent number: 8986403
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a gasification system component, such as a quench unit or scrubber may retain of pool of a cooling fluid for cooling another fluid. The gasification system component includes a flow damping mechanism designed to dampen flow of the cooling fluid, the other fluid, or both, within the gasification system component. The flow damping mechanism may be disposed in an inner chamber formed between a dip tube and a draft tube or disposed in an outer chamber formed between the walls of the gasification system component and the draft tube. The flow damping mechanism also may be disposed between the inner chamber and the outer chamber.

  • MIXTURE AND APPARATUS FOR BLENDING NON-AQUEOUS SLURRIES
    Publication number: 20140259882
    Abstract: The disclosures described herein provide for a gasification feedstock which includes a mixture of a solid feedstock with a liquid feedstock. The solid feedstock includes a heating value of less than approximately 20 Megajoules/kilogram (MJ/kg), expressed on a wet basis. The non-aqueous liquid feedstock includes a heating value of greater than approximately 14 MJ/kg, expressed on a wet basis. The resulting feedstock is useful as a gasification fuel.

  • METHODS FOR FABRICATING SYNGAS COOLER PLATENS AND SYNGAS COOLER PLATENS
    Publication number: 20090130001
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a syngas cooler is provided. The method includes coupling a tube cage within the syngas cooler, and coupling a plurality of platens to the tube cage to facilitate steam production in the syngas cooler. At least a first platen has at least one of a length that is larger than a length of a second platen, a non-linear geometry, and an angular position that is oblique with respect to a wall of the syngas cooler.
