Gasifiers, gasification systems, and methods for producing synthesis gas are disclosed. A gasifier can include a gasifier body. A feeder can be positioned to feed an organic material into the gasifier body. A pulse detonation burner can be located under or above the gasifier body and connected to the gasifier body to direct supersonic shockwaves upward into the gasifier body to heat the organic material and to form a jet spouted bed of the organic material or to operate as an entrained flow reactor. An outlet can be located at the gasifier body to allow removal of synthesis gas, residual ash, and other reaction products.

A method of processing MSW, either sorted or unsorted, which can be carried out through the use of canisters to hold the waste feedstock, and autoclaves specially designed to process the waste at suitable temperature and pressure combinations is disclosed. The final solid product is a mixture of carbon ash and non-combustible materials, such as, metals, drywall, etc., and syngas that has an enhanced BTU value, typically between about 300 to 700 BTU/ft.sup.3. The remainder solid material generally amounts to approximately 5% of the original MSW volume. This material can then be sorted for metals with the balance being sent to a landfill or other recycling processes depending on its composition.

A gasification system according to an aspect includes a scrubber device to transfer contaminant contained in a flammable gas to cleaning water and discharge the cleaning water containing the contaminant as scrubber wastewater, a heat exchange device to heat the scrubber wastewater to vaporize the contaminant contained in the scrubber wastewater; and a combustion furnace to incinerate the vaporized contaminant, wherein the heat exchange device heats the scrubber wastewater by using heat generated by the combustion furnace.

The present disclosure relates to a modified gasification system (100) for producing syngas from waste materials having moisture content. The gasification system (100) has crossflow arrangement for circulation of gases across the solids present and has well-defined drying (120), pyrolysis (130) and gasification zones (140). A burner (150) of the gasification system (100) situated downstream of the pyrolysis zone (130) is configured to receive the pyrolysis product and a secondary oxidizer to produce a burner output gas and to supply the burner output gas to the pyrolysis zone (130) and gasification zone (140). The gasification zone (140) is additionally configured to receive a primary oxidizer gas and a tertiary oxidizer gas to aid gasification. The present disclosure overcomes limitation of the prior-arts and provides means of isolating the drying, pyrolysis, and gasification zones and eliminates tar formation during gasification. The gasification system (100) disclosed herein is a fully scalable equipment.

The present invention provides a nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission and carbon negative emission system and a control method, and the system comprises: a carbon negative emission system, a nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission system, an air supply device and a flow control module. The carbon negative emission system is used for enabling biomass to produce inorganic carbon and pyrolysis gas/gasification gas to realize negative emission of carbon; the nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission system is used for enabling fuel to be in mixed combustion with the pyrolysis gas/gasification gas to remove nitrogen oxides, which realizes ultra-low emission of the nitrogen oxides; the air supply device is in communication with biomass pyrolysis coupling partial gasification via a first pipeline, the air supply device is in communication with the carbon negative emission system and the nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission system via a second pipeline, and the pyrolysis gas/gasification gas enters the nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission system via the second pipeline; the flow control module controls a flow ratio of a pyrolysis agent/gasification agent entering the carbon negative emission system and flow of the pyrolysis gas/gasification gas and air entering the nitrogen oxide ultra-low emission system.

A multi-stage product gas generation system converts a carbonaceous material, such as municipal solid waste, into a product gas which may subsequently be converted into a liquid fuel or other material. One or more reactors containing bed material may be used to conduct reactions to effect the conversions. Unreacted inert feedstock contaminants present in the carbonaceous material may be separated from bed material using a portion of the product gas. A heat transfer medium collecting heat from a reaction in one stage may be applied as a reactant input in another, earlier stage.

Disclosed are methods for accommodating changes in the conditions of partial oxidation of hydrocarbonaceous feedstock by changing characteristics of the hot oxygen used in the partial oxidation.

Applying heat from a heat source to a first region to cause a first pyrolysis process, the first pyrolysis process resulting in a gaseous mixture, and applying heat from the heat source to a second region to cause a second pyrolysis process, the second pyrolysis process being applied to the gaseous mixture, wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region. Pyrolysis is used to destroy oils, tars and/or PAHs in carbonaceous material.

Methods and apparatuses for producing fuel and power from the reformation of organic waste include the use of steam to produce syngas in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, followed by conversion of that syngas product to hydrogen. Some embodiments include the use of a heated auger both to heat the organic waste and further cool the syngas.
