Abstract
A system includes a carbon dioxide treatment system that includes a catalyst configured to treat carbon dioxide to produce a treated carbon dioxide. The system also includes a gasifier injector configured to inject the treated carbon dioxide, a fuel, and oxygen into a gasifier. The gasifier injector may be coupled to or located inside the gasifier.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a carbon dioxide (CO2) treatment system comprising a catalyst configured to treat CO2 to produce a treated CO2;
- and
- a gasifier injector configured to inject the treated CO2, a fuel, and oxygen into a gasifier.
A system, comprising:
- a carbon dioxide (CO2) treatment system comprising a catalyst configured to treat CO2 to produce a treated CO2;
- and
- a gasifier configured to receive the treated CO2, a fuel, and oxygen into a gasification chamber, wherein the gasifier is configured to gasify the fuel to produce a syngas.
A system, comprising:
- a monitor configured to monitor a composition of a catalytically treated CO2 to be injected into a gasifier;
- and
- a controller configured to execute a corrective control function if at least one substance in the composition of the treated CO2 is not within a threshold.
