Abstract: A process for fermenting syngas and a fermentation medium provides high ethanol productivity while removing medium components that were previously thought to be essential. The process is effective for providing a specific STY of at least about 1 gram of ethanol/(L·day·gram cells) and for providing a selenium content in cell biomass exiting the fermentation of about 1 ppm or less.

Abstract: A process provides for reducing agglomerate formation during thermal decomposition of a carbonaceous material feedstock. A non-catalytic thermal decomposition process includes providing generally solid feedstock to a thermal decomposition unit and moving the feedstock through at least one gasification zone in the thermal decomposition unit with a moving device. The process includes providing oxygen and optionally an additional gas to the gasification zone. In one aspect, the process includes moving feedstock through the gasification zone and providing oxygen to the gasification zone at rates effective for maintaining a material bed temperature not exceeding about 2300° F. at any point in the material bed, and for maintaining a material bed temperature of about 500° F. to about 2000° F.

Abstract: A process and system provide for processing inorganic matter-containing residue in a thermal decomposition process. The process and system are effective for reducing pressures which can occur during processing of inorganic matter-containing residue. A process for processing inorganic matter-containing residue in a thermal decomposition process includes conveying inorganic matter containing residue from a thermal decomposition unit to a burn-out section and conveying the inorganic matter containing residue from the burn-out section through a transition section to an ash sump. The inorganic matter containing residue is cooled to remove about 10% or more of heat in the inorganic matter containing residue before reaching the ash sump. The process further includes contacting the inorganic matter containing residue with a cooling medium in the gas sump and venting gaseous material generated back to the thermal decomposition unit.

Abstract: A process is provided for fermenting CO-containing gaseous substrates in a low phosphate medium. The process includes blending a liquid medium that includes at least one transition metal element with a liquid medium that includes at least at least one other transition metal element and one non-metal element to provide a fermentation medium. The process is effective for preventing precipitation of one or more transition metal elements with one or more non-metal elements. The fermentation medium used in the process is prepared in a way that requires significantly lower amounts of water and reduced levels of phosphate.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing syngas that is effective for use in downstream processes. The process for producing syngas includes operating a gasification apparatus in a start-up mode until the gasification apparatus and equipment downstream of the gasification apparatus are adequately warmed up to a first target temperature. Upon reaching a first target temperature, the process is then operated in a production mode to produce a second syngas with a higher CO/CO2 molar ratio. Operation in a start-up mode until reaching a first target temperature, provides a process that is effective for reducing fouling in downstream equipment and for providing a second syngas can be more effectively cooled and cleaned.
