  • Reactor system for producing synthesis gas
    Patent number: 10392250
    Abstract: A reactor system for partial oxidation gasification includes a reactor vessel that has a defined reaction zone with a reaction zone inlet and a reaction zone outlet. An injector section is operable to inject reactants to the reaction zone inlet. A coolant injector is operable to inject a coolant adjacent a reaction zone outlet. A reactor vessel outlet is located downstream of the coolant injector. A controller is configured to operate the coolant injector with respect to cooling a synthesis gas discharged from the reaction zone outlet and upwardly shifting a ratio H2:CO to a target ratio.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2019
    Assignee: GAS TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE
