    摘要: An improved process for the catalytic gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock in a dual fluidized bed reactor for producing synthesis gas is disclosed. The disclosure uses γ-alumina as a catalyst support and heat carrier in the gasification zone (102). The gasification zone (102) is operated at 700 - 750 °C to prevent substantial conversion of γ-alumina to α-alumina, which would manifest in the enablement of high catalyst loading and high recyclability. The catalyst is an alkali metal, preferably K 2 CO 3 , so that conversion proportional to total K 2 CO 3 to solid carbon ratio is achieved with as high K 2 CO 3 loading as 50 wt% on the solid support. The combustion zone (140) is operated at 800° - 840° C, to prevent any conversion of the γ-alumina to α-alumina, so that catalyst recyclability of up to 98% is achieved between two successive cycles.

    摘要: An electromechanical device for removing material from an enclosed space, wherein the electromechanical device comprises at least one arm having at least one first attachment thereon, for fixing a cutter box and a suction device to cut and/or draw in the material that is to be removed from the enclosed space, a body attached to the arm for displacing the arm within the enclosed space, and at least one power source coupled to the body and configured to permit controlled movement of the device in the enclosed space. The electromechanical device also comprises, a first controller configured to receive movement controlling signals from a second controller located remote from the enclosed space and an attachment means that connects the device to equipment for lowering and raising the device in the enclosed space.
