Abstract:
A system including a quench system that may cool a syngas generated in a gasification chamber. The quench system includes a quench chamber, a dip tube that may direct the syngas from the gasification chamber into a quench liquid to cool the syngas to generate a cooled syngas, and a draft tube disposed circumferentially about the dip tube and that may receive the cooled syngas. A passage is disposed between a first wall of the dip tube and a second wall of the draft tube, and the draft tube includes a tapered configuration in a flow direction along the passage.
Abstract:
A radiant syngas cooler is provided and includes a vessel shell defining an interior region for cooling of syngas. The cooler also includes a tube cage comprising a plurality of tubes, each having a first end and a second end. The cooler further includes a plurality of platen tubes located radially inwardly from the tube cage. The cooler yet further includes a pipe fluidly coupling the second end of the plurality of tubes with an inlet of the plurality of platen tubes. The cooler also includes an outlet pipe fluidly coupling an outlet of the plurality of platen tubes with a steam usage structure. The cooler further includes an inlet pipe fluidly coupling the steam usage structure to the first end of the plurality of tubes of the tube cage.
Abstract:
A system includes a syngas cooler and a compatible seal gas system. The syngas cooler may be configured to cool a syngas. The compatible seal gas system may be configured to supply a compatible seal gas to a seal of the syngas cooler. The seal may be configured to block the syngas from a passage between an outer wall of the syngas cooler and a tube cage of the syngas cooler.
Abstract:
A quench system includes a housing having a longitudinal axis, a gas path for a gas within the housing, a steam input and output, and a dip tube within the housing. The dip tube includes tubing arranged to form a wall. A steam path, separate from the gas path, is disposed within the tubing in a thickness of the wall. The dip tube is configured to allow passage of the gas along the gas path. The steam input is fluidically connected to the steam output by the tubing. The quench system is configured to cool the gas along the gas path and heat steam along the steam path within the tubing of the dip tube.
Abstract:
A system includes a gasifier that may gasify a feedstock to produce a syngas and a syngas cooler that includes a cooling chamber having a tapered configuration. The cooling chamber includes a first section that may separate particulates from the syngas and includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening has a smaller width than the second opening. The system also includes a second section in fluid communication with the first section that includes a plurality of tubes surrounding the first section. A first portion of the plurality of tubes is arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cooling chamber and a second portion of the plurality of tubes is angled such that the second portion of the plurality of tubes forms the tapered configuration. The system further includes a passage to flow a seal gas between a shell of the radiant syngas cooler and the second section. The shell encloses the cooling chamber.
