Abstract:
A two-reactor catalytic system including a catalytic membrane gasification reactor and a catalytic membrane water gas shift reactor. The catalytic system, for converting biomass to hydrogen gas, features a novel gasification reactor containing both hollow fiber membranes that selectively allow O2 to permeate therethrough and a catalyst that facilitates tar reformation. Also disclosed is a process of converting biomass to H2. The process includes the steps of, among others, introducing air into a hollow fiber membrane; mixing the O2 permeating through the hollow fiber membrane and steam to react with biomass to produce syngas and tar; and reforming the tar in the presence of a catalyst to produce more syngas.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a membrane module for the separation of oxygen from air during biomass gasification. The method comprises employing a membrane module as disclosed herein and using gas exiting the membrane module to heat incoming fresh air, more than 50% of heat energy contained in the gas exiting the membrane module being utilized to preheat the fresh air. The fresh air is further heated to a temperature of from 800° C. to 900° C. by directly feeding combustion gas or synthesis gas from the biomass gasification into a combustion space of the membrane module.

Abstract:
A method is described for reducing the carbon footprint of any commercially important industrial conversion process. The output of this conversion process can be combustible fuels, chemicals, electricity or heat energy. In its broadest form, a carbon negative module outputs energy to a conversion energy and this energy replaces conventional fossil-fuel based energy. A sequesterable carbonaceous solid is produced by the carbon negative process which represents a net carbon withdrawal from the atmosphere.
Abstract:
A power generating method of Carbon-molecule gasification combustion, the method comprising the following main processes: taking coal with desulfurizing agent, and first conducting desulfirization and gasification in a molecular gasifier to produce clean coal gas; mixing hot coal gas and low excess air for combustion in the furnace of a boiler; conducting coke refining and dust removal in accordance with coal quality and demand; after heat transfer via the heated surface of the boiler, emitting high temperature flue gas complying with the standard from the chimney; and the vapor generated by the boiler drives a steam turbine to generate power. The gasification method can be applied to a power generating system of a gas engine and a gas turbine to produce desired cooling coal gas, and can also produce chemical feed gas. The method has a simple process, which is energy saving.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for generation of a crude synthesis gas from a hydrocarbon-containing feed which is at a first pressure and also a steam feed which is at a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure, wherein the hydrocarbon-containing feed and the steam feed are introduced jointly into a reactor and are there reacted at a process pressure that is higher than the first pressure to form the crude synthesis gas. The pressure of at least a part of the hydrocarbon-containing feed is increased before introduction thereof into the reactor using a steam jet pump to which at least a part of the steam feed is fed as motive medium.
Abstract:
The method serves for cleaning dust-laden synthesis gases (1) which are formed in reactors or shaft furnaces (2) by carbothermal and/or electrothermal processes and which after departing the reactor or the shaft furnace at elevated temperatures are freed from dusty solids (4) via physical separation techniques (3) and are cooled by means of a downstream heat exchanger (5). In order to achieve a combination of long filter service life with effective synthesis gas cleaning, the proposal is that the dust-laden synthesis gas (1) after departing the reactor (2) and before being freed from dusty solids be passed in the presence of steam via a residence section (6), with the difference between the final gas temperature (T3) of the synthesis gas after it has been freed from the dusty solids and cooled and the maximum gas temperature in the residence section (T2) being set to at least 400 K.
