There is provided a method and apparatus for producing hydrogen gas from biogenic material (210) within a pressure vessel (10). The method comprises heating a granular material (15) to greater than 500 C., adding a batch of biogenic material (210) into the pressure vessel with the heated granular material (15) at atmospheric pressure, closing the pressure vessel, and mixing the heated granular material (15) with the biogenic material (210) inside the closed pressure vessel (10) to raise the temperature of the biogenic material (210) and commence gasification, the gasification producing gas that increases the pressure inside the pressure vessel (10), the produced gas comprising hydrogen gas.

A reaction chamber for a feedstock reactor includes an outer shell defining a reaction volume and having a heat-resistant refractory, an inlet for allowing a feedstock to enter the reaction volume, an outlet for allowing reaction products, formed as a result of decomposition of the feedstock in the reaction volume, to exit the reaction volume, and a protective liner lining an interior surface of the outer shell and comprising a compliant shock-absorbing layer.

A system includes a syngas cooler and a compatible seal gas system. The syngas cooler may be configured to cool a syngas. The compatible seal gas system may be configured to supply a compatible seal gas to a seal of the syngas cooler. The seal may be configured to block the syngas from a passage between an outer wall of the syngas cooler and a tube cage of the syngas cooler.

Apparatuses, systems, mobile gasification systems, and methods for gasifying residual biomass are described. An example system may include a mobile gasification system configured to gasify feedstock generated from residual biomass to provide syngas. The mobile gasification system may be configured to generate electrical power using the syngas. The mobile gasification system may be configured to be installed in a transportable structure.

In a gasification apparatus, a gasification furnace (101) having an octagonal hollow cross-sectional shape, a heat exchanger (102) having a quadrangular hollow cross-sectional shape, and a connection portion (103) which connects an upper portion of the gasification furnace (101) to a lower portion of the heat exchanger (102) are provided, thereby simplifying structures and enhancing efficiencies can be achieved.

A fixed bed gasifier for generating a producer or synthesis gas from solid fuel, particularly from slagging fuel, includes a gasifier tank, a fuel supply for supplying a solid fuel, and one or more gasification agent supplies for supplying one or more gasification agents used to gasify the solid fuel provided in the tank. An outlet discharges slag and producer gas which result from the gasification of the solid fuel. At least one section of a tank wall of the gasifier tank is surrounded by a temperature homogenizing layer, the heat conductivity of which is higher than the heat conductivity of the gasifier tank and which ensures an even temperature distribution in the tank wall in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the gasifier tank.
