METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL

An apparatus (100) and method for processing carbonaceous material is provided. The apparatus has a reactor vessel (130) with a plurality of solids medium ingress apertures (142a, 142b, 142c, 142d) for receiving controlled fluid flow of heated solids medium and a feed material ingress aperture (131)...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (100) and method for processing carbonaceous material is provided. The apparatus has a reactor vessel (130) with a plurality of solids medium ingress apertures (142a, 142b, 142c, 142d) for receiving controlled fluid flow of heated solids medium and a feed material ingress aperture (131). The reactor vessel has a syngas egress aperture (150) and at least one egress aperture (146) for egress of processed carbonaceous solid material and spent solids medium. The method includes allowing the heated solids medium to transfer heat to the feed material in the reactor vessel (130) to produce syngas and a processed carbonaceous solid material. The syngas is allowed to exit the reactor vessel through the syngas egress aperture (150). The processed carbonaceous solid material and spent solids medium are removed through the at least one egress aperture.
