The present invention relates to a process and an installation for the continuous flow of gasification of heterogeneous mixtures of organic substances and compounds such as biomass waste, forestry, municipal solid and liquid waste, sludge from sewage treatment plants and other similar waste. Presentation Of The Invention: The process according to the invention has the following steps: a) the organic raw material in heterogeneous mixture is introduced into the pyrolysis reactor (2) where it is gradually heated, by forced convection and thermal radiation, to a temperature of 900 . . . 1000 C., being kept in contact with metal surfaces that transport thermal energy through conduction from the exothermic area of the gasification reactor. The metal surfaces are placed in fixed positions, different so that the contact surface changes after 5 . . . 20 cm traversed by the flow of organic raw material, each group of metal slats forming 2 . . . 8 separation planes, b) the results the pyrolysis process, respectively the solid, liquid and gaseous phases, are gravitationally transferred to the gasification reactor (1) where they are mixed with the gasification agent, respectively air/oxygen and steam in two successive enclosures, the first enclosure with vortex flow and the second with laminar flow, each stage having independent control of the process parameters. The installation according to the invention consists of one or more pyrolysis reactors (2) of cylindrical or prismatic shape, fixed in the enclosures (15) of the gasification reactor (1), a nozzle system (18) for the controlled introduction of air/oxygen and a lock system consisting of the valve (3) and the container (4) for slag removal.

A gasifier system includes a reactor for receiving a wet feedstock which has a base and a container rotatably connected to the base such that a rotation of the container causes a mixing of the feedstock in an interior of the reactor. The interior is bounded by the base and the container. A space between the base and the container allows an entry of oxygen into the interior. The space has a dimension such that the feedstock is fully oxidized in a combustion area adjacent the base and such that the feedstock avoids combustion in a remainder of the interior. The reactor has a longitudinal axis inclined at an inclination angle relative to a horizontal line to promote the mixing of the feedstock in the interior.

A multi stage set of molten salt based processes for coal gasification, recovery of sulfur from hydrogen, capture of CO.sub.2 from gases and processes to store generated electrical energy for later use when it is needed in which excess power can be used to decarbonize fossil fuel to produce hydrogen that can be stored, sequester CO.sub.2, and regenerate the hydrogen back to electricity using an advanced power cycle.

The present invention discloses a gasifier and/or a gasification process that provides a long, uniform temperature zone in the gasifier, regardless of the particle size, chemical composition, and moisture content of the fuel by sandwiching a reduction zones between two oxidation zones. The gasifier and/or gasification process has a char that is more energy-dense and almost devoid of moisture that affords for an additional (or char) oxidation zone with a temperature that is higher than a first oxidation zone which is closer to an evaporation and devolatilization zone. As such, the additional (or char) oxidation zone contributes to augmenting the reduction zone temperature, thereby providing a favorable dual impact in improving syngas composition and near-complete conversion of the tar.

Implementations of a non-polluting biomass processor, and manufactured processor components are disclosed which at least partly address the local technical problems of a municipality, business, and/or organization, to generate non-polluting emissions, while generating at least one, often two or more, product outputs from biomass feedstocks input into the biomass processor.

The product outputs may include carbon char and/or activated carbon, both of which may be used to increase water retention in climates with hot, dry summers and/or used to remediate water pollution in water reservoirs.

A carbonaceous fuel gasification system for a supercritical CO.sub.2 power cycle system includes a micronized char preparation system comprising a devolatilizer that receives solid carbonaceous fuel, hydrogen, oxygen, and fluidizing steam and produces micronized char, steam, hydrogen, and volatiles. An indirect gasifier includes a vessel comprising a gasification chamber that receives the micronized char, a conveying gas, and steam where the gasification chamber provides syngas, ash, and steam. A combustion chamber receives syngas and an oxidant and burns the mixture of syngas with the oxidant to provide heat for gasification and for heating incoming flows, thereby generating steam and CO.sub.2. The heat for gasification is transferred from the combustion chamber to the gasification chamber by circulating refractory sand. A syngas cooler cools the syngas and generates steam and provides to a supercritical CO.sub.2 power cycle system that performs a supercritical CO.sub.2 power cycle for generating power.
