  • Patent number: 9670428
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for starting up a gasifying reactor comprising a plurality of burners. Each burner is thereby charged with combustible dust from a metering vessel (1) via a dense flow conveyor line (51, 52, 53, 54), which is assigned thereto, and with fuel gas via a gas conveyor line (62, 63), wherein a fuel mixture of combustible dust and combustible gas is provided prior to a moment of ignition of a burner, wherein a first composition of combustible dust and combustible gas, with which a first burner is charged for ignition, is regulated as a function of the fuel quantity, which was supplied to the second burner for ignition, after the ignition of a second burner, which is charged with a second composition of combustible dust and combustible gas for ignition, following the ignition of the first burner, so that the starting up of each of the plurality of burners of the gasifying reactor takes place under a regulated supply of the fuel load.

  • Patent number: 9290395
    Abstract: A method for stabilising or raising the pH of bodies of water and/or neutralising bodies of water is illustrated and described. According to the invention a feed material containing an unburnt lime product, the unburnt lime product having a granularity with a fraction <about 10 ?m of ?50%, is used to stabilise or raise the pH and/or neutralise bodies of water. With the aid of the proposed method the pH of bodies of water can be stabilised, raised and/or bodies of water can be neutralised effectively and in an ecologically harmless manner, and at low cost.

  • Publication number: 20110116987
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a burner holding device for burners, which is arranged on an entrained flow gasification reactor, wherein the burners (4, 5) are held in the burner holding device (7) and extend through a flange (11), which fixes the burner holding device (7) to the entrained flow gasification reactor (8) and extend through the burner holding device (7) into the entrained flow gasification reactor (8). The cooling device encompasses at least two cooling circuits (1, 2), which are independent from one another, wherein exactly one cooling circuit (1, 2) is at least partially assigned to each burner (4, 5), so that each burner (4, 5) is surrounded by a section of the cooling device on an-end facing the front surface and wherein at least one cooling circuit (1, 2) is at least partially assigned to the front surface for cooling.
