The invention is directed to a process to prepare a gas oil product from a carbonaceous particles of a biomass source comprising the following steps: (a) pyrolysis of the carbonaceous particles to a gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons in the absence of oxygen, (b) quenching the gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons by contacting with a liquid quench mixture of hydrocarbons having a lower temperature than the gaseous mixture thereby obtaining a rich liquid quench mixture and a quenched gas, and (c) isolating from the quenched gas a gas oil product by means of vacuum distillation, wherein the liquid gas oil is partly supplied to the top of the vacuum distillation column as a distillation reflux, partly used as part of the liquid quench mixture in (b) and partly discharged as the gas oil product.

The present disclosure relates to a process and a system for producing synthesis gas. The carbonaceous feedstock is gasified, in the presence of at least one of oxygen and steam, in a first reactor to obtain a gaseous mixture comprising H2, CO, CH4, CO2, H2O, tar and char. The gaseous mixture is treated in a second reactor, in the presence of a catalyst, to obtain synthesis gas. The system comprises a first reactor, a connecting conduit, a second reactor, at least one cyclone separator, at least one heat exchanger and at least one synthesis gas filter unit. The process and the system of the present disclosure are capable of producing synthesis gas with comparatively higher conversion of the unreacted char.

A system for producing biocoal and biochar includes at least one rotary compression unit (RCU) having a barrel, a compression screw housed within the barrel, a feed for receiving biomass and at least one exit for releasing biochar and gasses formed in the RCU. A first exit stream is produced that includes biochar and a portion of the remaining gasses, and a second exit stream is produced that includes biocoal. A gas crossover is provided that connects the first and second exit stream having a mechanism for transporting gasses from the first exit stream to the second exit stream thereby condensing a portion of the remaining gasses into the biocoal. In one form two RCUs are included connected to two condensers.

A system for processing a syngas stream including particulate matter, a combustible gas, and acid components is disclosed. The system includes a gasifier vessel configured to produce a raw syngas stream; a gas cooling apparatus configured to cool the raw syngas stream to produce a cooled syngas stream; an HCl and particulate removal apparatus configured to produce a reduced-HCl syngas stream; a first reheat apparatus configured to produce a first reheated syngas stream; a COS and HCN hydrolysis apparatus configured to produce a hydrolyzed syngas stream; an H.sub.2S removal apparatus configured to produce a reduced-H.sub.2S syngas stream; a second reheat apparatus configured to produce a second reheated syngas stream; an activated carbon bed apparatus configured to produce a polished syngas stream; and a compression and intercooling apparatus configured to compress and cool the polished syngas stream to produce a clean syngas stream.

The present disclosure provides a process for cleaning raw product gas. The process includes contacting the raw product gas with a flow of catalyst to reform organic contaminants and inorganic contaminants in the raw product gas and to remove particulates. Further, the process includes cooling the resulting product gas via heat exchange with a heat exchange medium in the presence of char or a solid adsorbent medium to condense remaining organic contaminants and inorganic contaminants on the char or solid adsorbent medium and to filter out fine particulates.

The disclosure provides for the separation and combustion of at least one hydrocarbon, oxygenate, sulfur compound, and or nitrogen compound, from industrial gas or gasification derived syngas to generate steam. A gasification process and a gas fermentation process may be integrated using tail gas from the fermentation process for the flame to combust tar and other compounds from the syngas generated by a gasification process. Integration may be achieved by removing tar and other compounds from industrial gas or gasification derived syngas using an adsorbent and regenerating the adsorbent using tail gas from the gas fermentation process. Tail gas enriched with the desorbed tar and other compounds may be used to generate steam in a steam boiler and the steam may be used for a variety of purposes including power generation to power, for example, a compressor of the gas fermentation process.
