Latest Patents
Troxell K Snyder holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for controlling a gasifier." This invention regulates fuel and oxidant feed rates into a gasifier by monitoring overall output and comparing it with a pre-selected setpoint value. An overall load demand signal, responsive to this comparison, is generated and used to control the oxidant feed rate. Additionally, the heating value of the product gas is measured to control the overall fuel feed rate to the gasifier. For a two-stage slagging gasifier, the invention also controls the fuel feed rate to the slagging stage based on the measured reaction temperature.
