  • Publication number: 20240158931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the generation of an electrolysis product, in particular to an electrolysis system and a method for generating the electrolysis product. A plurality of electrically intercoupled electrolysis units are provided. Each of the electrolysis units includes (i) an electrolysis assembly having a plurality of electrolysis cells configured to, upon provision of a direct current, generate the electrolysis product from a supply medium, and (ii) a photovoltaic assembly electrically coupled to the electrolysis assembly for providing the electrolysis cells with direct current generated from incident electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 10746395
    Abstract: A gasification burner for a multiple-burner arrangement in an entrained-flow gasifier, in which the gasification burner extends along a main axis and in which the media for the gasification reaction in the gasification burner are guided in separate media channels and exit at the burner mouth in a direction having an angle to the main axis that is not zero. A vertical installation with an optimally adaptable flame shape is provided. Depending on the orientation of the burners, the flame shape is adaptable, whether it be a minimized total flame diameter for an initial slag formation of the cooling screen or an increase in the total twist of the total flame for an increased particle deposition on the reactor wall. The gasification burner with angled burner tips can be used as part of a retrofit.

  • Patent number: 9193923
    Abstract: An entrained flow gasifier designed as a component for an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle plant of optimized efficiency is provided. The raw gas initially flows through a waste heat unit designed as a radiation cooler and subsequently flows through a full water quench. This results in a higher ratio of steam in the raw gas, which decreases the medium-pressure steam supply before the water-gas shift and thus improves efficiency in IGCC plants with CO2 separation.

  • Publication number: 20130298464
    Abstract: A method for operating a device for gasifying carbon-containing fuels and a corresponding device are provided. The gasification of the carbon-containing fuels provokes a flame. The emission spectrum of the flame is registered and evaluated continuously in real time by a multi-variant method and an evaluation model that is previously recorded.

  • Publication number: 20130168333
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for circulating process waters from plants of dust-pressure or entrained-flow gasification of solid and liquid fuels are provided, wherein process waters are separated from solids or reduced in their solids content by a pressure filtration unit under process pressure and returned to consumer loads, such as raw gas quenching processes and scrubbing processes.
