Abstract
In certain embodiments, a feed injector system includes an inner channel configured to convey at least one of a solid fuel feed or a liquid reactant or moderator to a reaction zone. A first oxidizer channel extends around the inner channel, wherein the first oxidizer channel is configured to convey a first oxidizer stream to the reaction zone. A second oxidizer channel extends around the first oxidizer channel, wherein the second oxidizer channel is configured to convey a second oxidizer stream to the reaction zone. Additionally, a third channel extends around the inner channel and the first and second oxidizer channels, wherein the third channel is configured to convey at least one of the solid fuel feed or the liquid reactant or moderator to the reaction zone.

A feed injector system, comprising:
- an inner oxidizer channel configured to convey a first oxidizer stream to a reaction zone;
- a solid fuel channel extending around the inner oxidizer channel, wherein the solid fuel channel is configured to convey a solid fuel feed to the reaction zone;
- a liquid reactant or moderator channel extending around the inner oxidizer channel, wherein the liquid reactant channel is configured to convey a liquid reactant or moderator to the reaction zone;
- and
- a second oxidizer channel extending around the solid fuel channel, the liquid reactant or moderator channel, or a combination thereof, wherein the second oxidizer channel is configured to convey a second oxidizer stream to the reaction zone;
- wherein the liquid reactant or moderator channel and the second oxidizer channel each comprises a diverging tip configured to direct the second oxidizer stream and the liquid reactant radially outward from an axis of the inner channel.
