Abstract
A system and method for providing an integrated indirectly fired reactor and steam generator are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the reactor comprises an indirect heating zone heating water and generating steam, a mixing zone mixing feedstock and the steam and providing a mixture of the feedstock and the steam, and a reaction zone comprising a first reactor and a second reactor. The first reactor converts the mixture to a first syngas at a first temperature. The second reactor converts the first syngas to a second syngas at a second temperature, the second temperature being higher than the first temperature.
Claims22
A reactor comprising:
- an indirect heating zone for combusting syngas with air to generate hot combustion gases, the hot combustion gases for heating a reaction zone, the indirect heating zone having a heat exchanger for generating steam by using the hot combustion gases;
- a mixing zone for mixing feedstock and the steam and for providing a mixture of the feedstock and the steam;
- and
- the reaction zone for providing oxygen-free gasification, the reaction zone comprising a first reactor for converting the mixture to a first syngas at a first temperature;
- and
- a second reactor for converting the first syngas to a second syngas at a second temperature, the second temperature being higher than the first temperature,
- wherein the of combustion gases remain separated from the steam, the feedstock, the mixture, the first syngas, and the second syngas.
