The hot partial oxidation gases which are formed in a gasifier for solid or liquid fuel are passed first into a dust separator under conditions where 70 to 95% of the impurities are eliminated, whereupon the gases then are washed in a wet washer with an amount of water not higher than necessary to remove the residual dust impurities. The process has the particular advantage of a very low amount of drainage water and has a high safety factor and adaptability for different conditions.

Process for purifying and cooling partial oxidation gases containing

A pneumatic or electrical signal indicating the flow mass of a fine-grained fuel suspended in a carrier gas is produced by computer means. The input for the computer is constituted by the quantity determined for the volume of the carrier gas and the quantity determined for the density of the carrier gas together with the quantity determined as the specific weight of the fuel and the quantity determined by a radiometric measurement of the total density of the fuel and carrier gas flow. The computer is programmed to produce the above signal on the basis of a mathematical relationship defined in the above text. A valve controlling the feed of fuel into a gasifier is operated by the signal produced by the computer.

Process for monitoring the flow of fine grained solid fuel for use in

Fine grained fuel such as coal dust is gasified at an elevated pressure by passing the fuel from a supply tank which is at atmospheric pressure by a pump into a pressurized lock basin and therefrom into the gasifier, the fuel during such movement retaining its loose consistency. The pump in this case comprises an outer cylinder; a piston movable in said cylinder; an inlet opening for said fuel in the top of said cylinder; a hollow space in said piston for receiving said fuel, the said hollow space being open at the top and bottom, an opening in said top wall of the cylinder for receiving or releasing a gaseous medium under pressure; an outlet passage for said fuel in the bottom of said cylinder; valve means for introducing or discharging said pressure gas into or from said gas inlet and outlet; and means for moving said piston in said cylinder so as to bring said hollow space, in a first position, into alignment with said fuel inlet passage to receive said fuel, then, in a second position, to bring the piston into alignment with the said pressure gas inlet and outlet so as to cause the pressure gas to enter the fuel filled hollow space or be released therefrom and, in a third position, to bring the piston in alignment with said fuel outlet passage so as to discharge the fuel into the lock basin.
