Universal feeder for gasification reactors

A universal feeder system for transferring a feedstock comprising:

• a first vessel comprising at least one rectangular shaped feed vessel having an upper horizontal side and an open lower horizontal side, three vertical sides and an angled side of no less than 60 degrees from the lower horizontal side;
• a motor operated variable speed live bottom dual screw feeder positioned below and parallel to the open lower horizontal side;
• said dual screw feeder having a proximal and distal end, wherein said dual screw feeder operably connected to the lower horizontal side;
• a first chute having an open top and bottom;
• said top juxtaposed to the distal end of the dual screw feeder to receive conveyed material from the feedstock feed;
• a first motor operated variable speed transfer screw feeder juxtaposed to the bottom of the first chute that conveys material;
• said first transfer screw feeder having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the first transfer screw is positioned adjacent and perpendicular to the distal end of the live bottom dual screw feeder, wherein the first transfer screw feeder distal end is configured with a flange designed to operably connect the first transfer screw feeder to a second vessel;
• a second transfer screw feeder juxtaposed to the bottom of the first chute that conveys material;
• said second transfer screw feeder having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the second transfer screw feeder is positioned adjacent and perpendicular to the proximal end of the live bottom dual screw feeder;
• and
• a third transfer screw feeder having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the third transfer screw feeder proximal end is operably connected to the second transfer screw feeder distal end, wherein the third transfer screw feeder is positioned perpendicular to the second transfer screw feeder, and wherein the third transfer screw feeder distal end is configured with a flange designed to operably connect the third transfer screw to the second vessel.
