Continuously Operating Lockless Solids Feed System for Pressurized Gasification Reactors

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a continuously operating system for introducing solid materials into high-pressure gasification reactors without requiring traditional lock systems. The system uses a pressing tool with a rigid mold channel surrounded by cooling channels, and a mold with specially designed wear cases.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Continuous feeding of solid biomass or coal into gasifiers for energy production
• Supplying solid waste or refuse into high-pressure reactors for chemical conversion
• Use in industrial plants where solid fuels need to be introduced into pressurized environments safely and efficiently

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Eliminates the need for lock hoppers, reducing mechanical complexity and potential failure points
• Allows continuous operation, increasing throughput and reducing downtime
• Improved wear resistance due to specifically designed wear cases, leading to longer service intervals
• Enhanced temperature management thanks to cooling channels, improving system reliability and safety
