  • Patent number: 10781384
    Abstract: A gasification system for the oxidation of a carbonaceous feedstock to provide a synthesis gas comprising: a reactor chamber for oxidizing the carbonaceous feedstock; a quench section for holding a bath of liquid coolant; an intermediate section having a reactor outlet opening through which the synthesis gas is conducted from the reactor chamber into the bath of the quench section; at least one layer of refractory bricks arranged on the reactor chamber floor, the lower end section of the refractory bricks enclosing the reactor outlet opening and defining the inner diameter thereof; the intermediate section including a number of halved tubes for liquid coolant arranged onto at least part of the reactor chamber floor on a side thereof opposite to the lower end section of the refractory bricks; and a pump system for circulating the liquid coolant through the halved tubes on the reactor chamber floor.

  • Patent number: 10544375
    Abstract: A gasification system for the partial oxidation of a carbonaceous feedstock to at least provide a synthesis gas, the system comprising a reactor chamber and a quench section below the reactor chamber. An intermediate section connecting the reactor chamber to the quench section comprises at least one layer of refractory bricks arranged on and supported by the reactor chamber floor, the refractory bricks enclosing a reactor outlet opening. A membrane wall extends downwardly from the reactor outlet opening of the reactor chamber floor. A pump system is provided communicating with a source of a liquid coolant for circulating the liquid coolant through the tubes of the membrane wall.

  • Patent number: 10408542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange device comprising a channel wall defining a flow channel with an inlet for receiving a gas flow. The device further comprises one or more heat exchange surfaces positioned inside the flow channel creating different parallel flow paths for the gas flow through the flow channel, at least one of the heat exchange surfaces embedding one or more flow paths for a fluid heat exchange medium. The one or more deflection elements are positioned inside the flow channel and are attached to the channel wall to deflect the gas flow away from the channel wall.
