Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process and system for gasifying biomass or other carbonaceous feedstocks in an indirectly heated gasifier and a method for the elimination of condensable organic materials (tars) from the resulting product gas with an integrated tar removal step. More specifically this integral tar removal step utilities the circulating heat carrier to crack the organics and produce additional product gas. As a benefit of the above process and because the heat carrier circulates through alternating steam and oxidizing zones in the process, deactivation of the cracking reactions is eliminated. 2, Description of the Related Art
- the '543 patent proves a gasification method involving a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) gasifler system wherein sand is used as a heat transfer medium.
- a first aspect of the system provides a method for reducing ash agglomeration in a parallel entrainment fluidized bed gasifier/combustion wherein Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is added into the thermal transfer material to alter a eutectic of the resultant ash and thereby raise a melting point of such ash to minimize agglomeration with the sand.
- MgO Magnesium Oxide
- Paisley '543 distinguishes itself from prior systems adding CaO and Al 2 O 3 in attempts to reduce agglomeration by diluting ash.
- the '653 patent discusses the production of a feed gas for hydrogen synthesis using gasification in a fluidized bed reactor (FBR), recirculating fluidized bed reactor (CFB), or in a fixed bed reactor (FB), and requires the use of a catalyst to adjust the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio in a water gas shift reaction,
- FBR fluidized bed reactor
- CFB recirculating fluidized bed reactor
- FB fixed bed reactor
- Equation 1 CO + HiO COi + Hi in such a way as to not promote the formation of carbon, an undesired byproduct.
- Patent '653 teaches that alumina is a preferred catalyst and that conventional catalyst systems and methods for such reactions require the use of noble metals such as nickel, molybdenum, and the like, or of alkali materials such as potassium, sodium, and the like for catalysts. Further, conventional catalyst systems and methods do not suppress carbon to the extent desired in the '653 patent. Typical of these and other gas production operations are the following U.S. Pat. Nos.
- the '653 patent teaches a method of cracking and shifting a synthesis gas by providing a catalyst consisting essentially of alumina in an out-of-the-re- circulating-path chamber; and contacting the alumina catalyst with a substantially oxygen free synthesis gas of methane and/or higher molecular weight hydrocarbons; and water vapor at a temperature of about 530°C to about 980 0 C, whereby methane and higher hydrocarbons are cracked according to the reaction,
- Equation 1 water gas shift reaction
- the mechanical system in the '653 patent is generally similar to that in the '543 patent, a difference exists for the above-noted out-of-cycle (ex situ) lower temperature reaction chamber (maximum 980°C/1500°F) that receives an output synthesis gas from the gasification module and contains the alumina catalyst for down-stream reaction.
- the '653 patent differs from that of the '543 system by providing both (i) an alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) catalyst and (H) providing that catalyst only in an ex situ chamber of low temperature that results in rapid downstream deactivation of the cracking reactions due to the deposition of carbon on the catalyst surface.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a process for gasification with in-situ tar removal that responds to at least one of the needs noted above without a requirement of responding to more than one of the needs noted above.
- the present invention relates to a process and system for gasifying biomass or other carbonaceous feed stocks in an indirectly heated gasifier and provides a method for the elimination of condensable organic materials (tars) from the resulting product gas with an integrated tar removal step. More specifically, this tar removal step utilizes the circulating heat carrier to crack the organics and produce additional product gas. As a benefit of the above process, and because the heat carrier circulates through alternating steam and oxidizing zones in the process, deactivation of the cracking reactions is eliminated. Unlike other know biomass gasification processes, the presently provided process is not based on starved air combustion, but instead rather rapidly heats raw biomass in an air free environment to minimize tar formation and create a solid residue that is used as a heat source for the process.
- biomass is indirectly heated using a heat transfer material (preferably sand) to produce a medium calorific value gas (approximately 17-19 MJ/Nm 3 /350-450 Btu/scf) as shown in Fig. 1.
- a heat transfer material preferably sand
- a medium calorific value gas approximately 17-19 MJ/Nm 3 /350-450 Btu/scf
- a circulating heat transfer material is used to rapidly heat incoming biomass and convey unconverted material from the gasification reactor to an associated reactor.
- heated heat transfer materials (sand) and steam contact the biomass. No air or oxygen is added so there are no combustion reactions taking place, providing an environmental advantage.
- the biomass is rapidly converted into medium calorific gas at a temperature of approximately 825 0 C (Celsius). Any unconverted material along with the now cooled heat transfer materials (sand), pass through the gasifier and then are separated from the product gas.
- the heat carrier materials and char formed in the gasifier are conveyed to the process combustor.
- air is introduced which in turn consumes the char in combustion and, in the process, reheats the heat carrier (sand) to approximately 1000°C.
- the heat carrier sand
- all remaining carbon is consumed, resulting in substantially carbon-free ash suitable for environmentally friendly and inexpensive disposal. Due to the combustor conditions and the fact that the unconverted material is essentially carbon, emissions are desirably low from this step in the process.
- the reheated heat transfer solids are thereafter separated from the flue gas and returned to the gasifier. Ash is removed from the flue gas, resulting in a high temperature (approximately 100O 0 C) clean gas stream, available for heat recovery.
- the product gas exiting the gasifier is conveyed through a gas- conditioning reactor prior to final cleanup.
- the product gas is heated to approximately 1000 0 C (1832 0 F), the temperature of the heat transfer material returning to the gasification reactor from the combustion reactor, noted above.
- the condensable hydrocarbons (tars) are cracked to form lower molecular weight compounds such as hydrogen (H 2 ), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Benzene (C 6 H 6 ), and Methane (CH 4 ).
- This cracking step eliminates higher molecular weight materials from the gas thus substantially simplifying downstream heat recovery and final gas clean up for particulate material.
- the present invention provides for the further production of increased hydrogen using the adjustment of the hydrogen:carbon monoxide ratio by an in situ water gas shift reaction as noted in Equation 1.
- the product gas may only be cooled to approximately 370 0 C during heat recovery. After condensable removal however, heat recovery may occur at least as low as 200 0 C resulting in approximately a 40% improvement in recovered energy from the product gas.
- the product gas may be further chemically adjusted providing water gas shift potential for (a) chemical synthesis, (b) hydrogen production applications or (c) adjusting chemical compositions for specific downstream uses.
- a method for converting a synthesis gas containing hydrocarbons, the method comprising the steps of: providing both an indirectly heated gasification module for generating the synthesis gas from a carbonaceous fuel, and a combustion module for contributing to an operation temperature of the gasification module, providing an in situ gas conditioning module for receiving the synthesis gas from the gasification module and for operating at the operation temperature, and in the gas conditioning module, conditioning the synthesis gas to minimize a tar content therein.
- a system for gasification with in-situ conditioning, comprising: a gasification module for gasifying a biomass feedstock into the synthesis gas, a gas conditioning module for receiving the synthesis gas from the gasification module and for conditioning the synthesis gas in an in situ circuit with the gasification module and a combustion module, and the combustion module for heating a thermal transfer material and for circulating the heated thermal transfer material to the gas conditioning module before circulating the thermal transfer materials to the gasification module.
- a system for gasification with in-situ conditioning, the system comprising: an indirectly heated gasification module means for generating the synthesis gas from a carbonaceous fuel, and a combustion module means for contributing to an operation temperature of the gasification module, in situ gas conditioning module means for receiving the synthesis gas from the gasification module and for operating at the operation temperature, and in the gas conditioning module means, means for conditioning the synthesis gas to minimize a tar content therein.
- an apparatus for conditioning a synthesis gas containing hydrocarbons comprising: an indirectly heated gasification module for generating the synthesis gas from a carbonaceous fuel, and a combustion module means for contributing to an operation temperature of the gasification module, in situ gas conditioning module for receiving the synthesis gas from the gasification module and for operating at the operation temperature, and the conditioning module including a module for conditioning the synthesis gas to minimize a tar content therein comprising a system for cracking the hydrocarbons and shifting the synthesis gas, thereby producing a conditioned gas containing a hydrogenrcarbon monoxide ratio having a positive hydrogen balance.

- Fig. 6 is a graph representing the conversion of condensable hydrocarbons according to the present invention achieving over 95% conversion of some tars and 80% conversion of problem tars.
- a schematic flow process of the present system for gasifying biomass or other carbonaceous feed stocks in an indirectly heated gasiiier that eliminates condensable organic materials (hydrocarbons/tars) from the resulting product gas with an integrated tar removal step. More specifically, this tar removal step utilizes the circulating heat carrier to crack the organics and produce additional product gas in combination with a water gas shift reaction as will be discussed. As a benefit of the proposed process, and because the heat carrier circulates in situ through alternating steam and oxidizing zones in the process, deactivation of the cracking reactions is eliminated.
- the presently provided process is not based on starved air combustion, but instead rather rapidly heats raw biomass provided at a feedstock preparation and feed supply module 100 in an air free environment within a sealed gasification reactor 102 to minimize tar formation and create a solid residue (char) that is used as a heat source for the process within combustion reactor 105.
- Significantly fewer emissions are produced in the process because of the relative ease of treating the high energy density, medium calorific value gaseous resultant product.
- biomass is indirectly heated using a heat transfer material (preferably sand) to produce a medium calorific value gas (syngas) having approximately 17-19 MJ/Nm /350-450 Btu/scf from a gas-conditioning reactor 103 pulled for synthesis or turbine or fuel use at 104.
- a heat transfer material preferably sand
- syngas medium calorific value gas
- circulating heat transfer material is used to rapidly heat incoming biomass and convey unconverted material from the gasification reactor to an associated reactor.
- heated heat transfer materials and steam 101 are contacted in a sealed system. No air or oxygen is added so there are no combustion reactions taking place, providing an environmental advantage.
- the biomass is rapidly converted into medium calorific gas at a temperature of approximately 825°C (Celsius) or above. Any unconverted material (char) along with the now cooled heat transfer materials (sand), pass through the gasif ⁇ er and then are separated from the product gas.
- the heat carrier materials and char formed in the gasifier are conveyed to process combustor 105 for combustion and reheating.
- air is introduced which in turn consumes the char in combustion and, in the process, reheats the heat transfer carrier to approximately 1000°C.
- combustor 105 all remaining carbon is consumed, resulting in substantially carbon-free ash suitable for environmentally friendly and inexpensive disposal at 106. Due to the combustor conditions and the fact that the unconverted material is essentially carbon, emissions are desirably low from this step in the process.
- the reheated heat transfer solids are thereafter separated from the flue gas and returned to the gasifier 102. Ash is removed from the flue gas, resulting in a high temperature (approximately 1000 0 C) clean gas stream that may also be employed for a heat recovery process 107.
- the product gas exiting the gasifier is conveyed through an in situ gas- conditioning reactor prior to final cleanup.
- a cracking function occurs as the product gas is heated to approximately 1000°C (1832 0 F), the temperature of the heat transfer material returning to the gasification reactor from the combustion reactor, noted above.
- the condensable hydrocarbons (tars) are reacted with steam inputs and cracked to form lower molecular weight compounds such as hydrogen (H 2 ), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Benzene (C 6 H 6 ), and Methane (CH 4 ).
- This cracking step eliminates higher molecular weight materials from the gas thus substantially simplifying downstream heat recovery and final gas clean up for particulate material.
- the product gas may only be cooled to approximately 370°C during heat recovery. After condensable removal however, heat recovery may occur to at least as low as 200°C resulting in approximately a 40% improvement in recovered energy from the product gas.

- Process feed P2 delivers the prepared feed stock material to gasifier 12 which subjects the same to heat by contacting it with a heat transfer medium in an oxygen free environment, partially or wholly volatilizing the feed stock material to release a mixture of gasses including H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , C 6 H 6 and other carbonaceous gases and tars as noted herein.
- Gasification reactor or module 12 is heated via heating feed PIl with a hot heat transfer medium such as sand or other inert and/or chemically active solid material and gas fluidized material from combustion module 32 via a gas conditioning reactor 20, as will be discussed.

- steps are taken to ensure an entirety of the bed is fluidized thereby minimizing incomplete circulation and that the imier constructions of gasification module 12, combustion module 32, and related high temperature system components are construction of a substantially non-reactive material.
- Gasifier 12 operates as a circulating fluidized bed gasifier so that char formed during gasification retains the general geometric form of the feedstock and is circulated with syngas out an exit port via pathway 3 to gas conditioning reactor 20.
- an optional gasification reactor surge module 15 containing a reactor separator 14 (including a cyclone) and an associated fluidizing distributor 16 receiving inputs of steam and inert gas as shown to maintain flow.

- the syngas comprises at least CO and H2 as well as a variety of other gasses (and tars) in concentrations and combinations dependent upon the reaction within gasification reactor 12.
- gas conditioning module 20 Upon receiving syngas and tar flow via flow path P4 at operating temperature and distributed by a distributor 19, gas conditioning module 20 operates to crack the tars and balance the water shift reaction to create syngas (synthesis gas) containing up to 50% H 2 and as little as about 0.0003 lb/cft (pounds per cubic foot) of residual tar both limits far exceeding the related references.
- conditioning reactor module 20 may further include an optional combustion reactor separation 22 for receiving ash and further non-convertible particles and transferring the same via a feed flow P9 to an ash separator 23 for distribution as flue gas via pathway P 12 and as non-consumable ash via pathway P13 to an ash handling system 24 in operative communication with an ash dust collector 25 (for fines) and an ash collector 26 (for solids) for later distribution.

- gas-conditioning module 20 is maintained at high operation temperatures up to about 1000 0 C.
- an additional surge module 18 receives heated heat transfer materials from gas conditioning module 20, ensures fluidization of the same with an inert gas feed via a flow valve 6 to a distributor 7, and may similarly receive a reactant such as steam via an additional flow valve 6, as shown.
- Syngas that has completed conditioning in conditioning module 20 is removed via feed line P8 as product gas, as will be discussed.
- feed flow P5 transports char and heat transfer materials to an input port of combustion module 32 for further combustion and reheating as necessary.
- Combustion module 32 receives heat via a distributor mechanism 31 from a natural gas combustion system, controlled by a valve 6 and combustion air supply A via a combustion blower 29 fed via a volume control 30 to a start up and maintenance heater 28 that combusts the natural gas and feeds the combined combustion gases via feed P6 to distributor 31 in combustion module 32.
- a start up and maintenance heater 28 that combusts the natural gas and feeds the combined combustion gases via feed P6 to distributor 31 in combustion module 32.
- heat transfer materials are transferred via flow PlO to gasification module 12 via surge module 18, as shown. Recognizing that heat transfer materials may need to be added to the continuously operating system, a heat transfer medium make-up module 27 operating via feed P 14 may be operated to maintain or augment heat transfer materials and add catalyst materials as required by operators of system 1. Following entry of the same into combustion module 32 they are fluidized and join the fluidized flow materials within system 1 and exit the top of combustor 32 as flue gas.
- system 1 includes an optional flare stack 21 accessible via a flow valve 6 from the exit flow P8 of product gas so as to provide a control combustion mechanism where the resultant syngas may not be otherwise employed downstream for materials manufacturing, fuel cell synthesis, fuel generation, and pre-use or pre- shipment storage.
- gasification reactor surge module 15, return surge module 18 and the associated pathways, distributors, and separators are optional to the present embodiment that requires only the use of gas conditioning reactor module 20.
- return flows P3/P4 may combine to directly supply exit heat transfer materials, syngas and tars from the exit port at the top of gasification module 12 to gas conditioning reactor 20 (in a flow similar to that shown in Fig. 1).
- absent surge modules 15, 18 return heat transfer materials may return from an exit portal at the top of combustion module 32 through gas conditioning reactor 20 directly to an input portal in gasification reactor 12.
- Figs. 3 and 4 the present process flow diagram shown in Fig. 2 was tested by sampling the synthesis gas (resultant gas) from flow P3 exiting gasification module 12 and before entry of gas conditioning module 20 (shown as Fig. 3) and from flow P8 exiting gas conditioning module 20 (Fig. 4). Both are shown as Mass Spectrometry results with peaks noting the various hydrocarbon chains.
- Fig. 3 notes both a substantial volume of high molecular weight hydrocarbons (above the Benzene peak 78), and a high volume of lower molecular weight hydrocarbons (below the Benzene peak 78).
- Fig. 4 notes the beneficial results of both reduced volume of total hydrocarbons of all molecular weights and the substantial shift of molecular weights to those hydrocarbons having generally lighter molecular weights (less than say the Benzene peak 78) that may be easily removed by downstream processes should any remain.
- the post gas conditioning hydrocarbons are more predictably segmented and arranged and hence may be more readily retrieved by tailor-able downstream processes such as secondary ex situ elected solvent treatment, electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, and other methods known to those of skill in the art.
- a major advantage of the gas conditioning reactor in the present invention is the substantive removal of the condensable hydrocarbons in the gasifier product gas in an in situ step without relying on complex downstream cracking steps.
- significantly smaller quantities of these "tars" are present in the gas exiting the Taylor gasifier than are found in other indirectly heated gasifiers. This simplifies both final gas cleanup and heat recovery. The result is (1) a higher efficiency process as additional heat recovery is possible (to temperatures as low as 200 0 C), and (2) a more economical process (as the costly removal of the condensables in a separate downstream process step is minimized or eliminated).
- the nitrogen (N2) identified within the Taylor and Ferco systems is likely simply the result of minor purge nitrogen introduced initially into the stream.
- the cracking reactions take place at a much higher temperatures (900°C/1652°F to 1100°C/2012°F) that unknown in the related art and within the circulating system itself (in situ) thereby reducing the potential to form carbon.
- a much higher temperatures 900°C/1652°F to 1100°C/2012°F
- any carbon that might form is consumed in the combustor module prior to being recycled to the gas conditioning reactor thereby further "regenerating" the material to maintain high catalyst activity levels.
- Fig. 6 a figure illustrating the conversion of the condensable hydrocarbons occurring within the in situ gas conditioning reactor such that the conversion of total tar is nearly 80%, the conversion of so called heavy or high molecular weight tar exceeds 82%, the conversion of all other tars exceeds 80%, and the conversion of hydrocarbons (Toluene, Phenol, Cresol) exceeds 90% with a corresponding increase in the volume of benzene (C 6 H 6 ) that may be readily addressed by known processes.
- Tables 2 and 3 show the additional details shown below in Tables 2 and 3 to further support the present discussion. Specifically, table 2 below shows the detailed concentration data for the condensables, and table 3 shows the same data but expanded to provide detail for specific compounds.
- the biomass As the biomass is contacted by the heat transfer material and hot gas, it is pyrolized (gasified) and an entrained region of heat transfer material, char and carbonaceous particles forms in the upper end of gasifier module 12.
- Entrained heat transfer materials circulate through the entrained biomass, char, and hot gases. As the carbonaceous particles pyrolyze, they generate gas forming a relatively higher velocity region above the fluidized bed.
- pyrolized solids are removed from the top of combustion reactor 12 for transport to either gas conditioning module 20 or combustion module 32 following separation, and removed from the system by entrainment despite the low inlet gas velocities below the bed.
- This is made possible by the design of using a fluidized region, above which is an entrained region from which all bed particles including inerts and char are removed.
- entrainment occurs in part because of the gas generated in situ contributing significantly to the volume of gas moving through the reaction vessel for later conditioning in gas conditioning module 20, while avoiding destructive slugging.
- the carbonaceous biomass materials fed to gasifier module 12 may achieve greater than 60% conversion of the available carbon upon a single pass through the gasifier system 1 due to the present invention's ability to operate at temperatures above 98O 0 C.
- the remainder of the carbon is burned in combustion module 32 to generate heat for the pyrolysis reaction upon recycle. If other fuel is used in combustion module 32, then additional carbon can be converted in the gasifier module 12. With wet fuels, such as municipal waste, carbon conversions might vary upward or downward depending on the operating temperature of the gasifier module 12 and consequently the preferred embodiment provides a series of pre-feed conditioning (and drying) steps before feeding via flow P2.
- the inlet gas fed to gasifier module 12 typically can be steam (as shown), recycled-product-gas and inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, and mixtures thereof.
- Preferred gases for the invention are steam and recycled-product-gas, and most preferably steam and inert gases.
- entrained material exits the gasification module 12 near the top and is passed through (the product synthesis gas) to the gas-conditioning module 20, and the solids (the char, carbonaceous material, and heat transfer materials) are returned to the combustion reactor module 32 for combustion and heating respectively.
- AU system solids are entrained except for unwanted tramp material such as scrap metal inadvertently introduced with the fuel feedstock, for which a separate cleanout provision may be needed.
- the system of the present invention is versatile and could be combined with any type of combustor, fluidized, entrained, or non-fluidized, for heating the heat transfer material.
- the heat transfer material is heated by passage through an exothermic reaction zone of the combustion module 32 to add heat.
- Beneficial products produced by the above described system include a gas with such a highly favorable Hydrogen: Carbon Monoxide ratio that it may be useful as a gasoline additive, or in fuel-cell synthesis, or in power production typically for a combined cycle gas turbine power generation system.
- subsequent steps for hydrogen recovery may be used and these may optionally include; the common membrane separation process based on partial pressure or a second level or later process water-gas shift reaction.
- inert material is understood to mean relatively inert (relatively non-reactive) as compared to the rapidly reactive carbonaceous material and may include heat transfer materials such as sand, limestone, and other calcites or oxides. As noted more fully, some of these heat transfer materials may not be relatively inert and may otherwise participate as reactants or catalytic agents, thus "relatively inert” is used as a comparison to the carbonaceous materials and is not used herein in a strict or pure qualitative chemical sense as commonly applied to the noble gases.
- limestone is useful as a means for capturing sulfur to reduce sulfate emissions and is thus active in cracking the tar in gasification reactor 12 and gas conditioning module 20, but as used herein shall be relatively inert. While one benefit of the presently disclosed system is substantial minimization of agglomeration due to the high temperature operating conditions and in situ gas conditioning reactor 20, other useful materials may also be added to the gasifier feedstock to further improve system operation and further enhance the generation of ready-to-use end gases removed from gas conditioning reactor 20.
- the agglomeration of ash, sand, and char in gasifier system 1 can be further reduced by adding of magnesium oxide (MgO), Olivine, or other Fe-surface containing compositions to the in situ heat transfer materials and optionally the feedstock materials.
- MgO magnesium oxide
- Olivine Olivine
- the conventionally known agglomeration is generally a result of the partial-melting of the ash at high temperature condensation, minimizing such high temperature condensation and restricting the original creation of provide substantive benefits.
- CaO calcium oxide
- Al 2 O 3 alumina
- 6,808,543 (lacking any form of in situ gas conditioning module) teaches that the addition of MgO is even more effective to reduce agglomeration by reducing the eutectic of the ex situ ash mixture and hence raising the melting point to effectively reduce agglomeration at a weight percent or between 1% and 25% of the feedstock weight.
- any other related reference the present invention provides for the use of an in situ Olivine catalyst material within the range of 1-50% by weight of the heat transfer materials and even more preferably between 2% and 40% of a catalytically active material is added to the in situ heat transfer material to reduce aggregation (via origination prevention, conversion, and elimination) and promote catalysis in accordance with the present invention.
- heat transfer medium or heat transfer materials shall not be viewed by those of skill in the art as being restricted to sand or olivine, but shall instead by considered to include all inorganic solids capable of at least temporarily resisting thermal breakdown at temperatures of up to 1100°C/2012°F.
- heat transfer materials shall not be viewed exclusively as to the materials noted herein, but rather inclusively, and as such may include (without limitation or exclusion) catalytically active materials and non-catalytically active materials, common sand (quartz or otherwise), olivine, silica (SiO 2 or SiO 4 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), feldspar, and other metal oxides (including MgO, CaO x , ZnO x , ZrO x , TiO x , B 2 O 3 ), and multiple combinations and compositions involving the same, including those that are partially or wholly stabilized, previously sintered or otherwise thermally prepared, and which may be naturally occurring or artificially formed.
- catalytically active heat transfer materials shall be recognized as catalytically active materials and include, but not be limited to all of those heat transfer materials above that exhibit decomposition activity of hydrocarbons; including treated and untreated Dolomite and treated and untreated olivine, and alumina (both naturally occurring and artificially formed types, and either treated with calcination or other methods), alkali metal oxides, noble metal oxides, Ni-based compositions (including Ni/ Al 2 O 3 , NiCuMo/SiO 2 or SiO 4 -Al 2 O 3 ), Mg-based oxides, Fe-based oxides, Ca-oxides, V-based oxides, Cr- based oxides, Co-oxides, Cu-oxides, Mo- oxides, calcined dolomites, magnesites, zeolites, and high-temperature oxide compositions containing elements of the above.
- iron transport catalyst shall be understood to include, but not be limited to, those catalytically active heat transfer material noted above that contain iron as well as other iron-containing ceramic materials and compositions, including natural and artificially formed olivine.
- gas conditioning module 20 is “in situ” because it receives thermal transfer materials from both combustion module and syngas from gasification module.
- means- or step-plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures and reactions described or suggested herein as performing the recited function or reaction and not only structural and chemical equivalents but also equivalent structures and compositions.
- a nail, a screw, and a bolt may not be structural equivalents in that a nail relies on friction between a wooden part and a cylindrical surface, a screw's helical surface positively engages the wooden part, and a bolt's head and nut compress opposite sides of a wooden part, in the environment of fastening wooden parts, a nail, a screw, and a bolt may be readily understood by those skilled in the art as equivalent structures.
- the phrase catalytically active materials include those materials functioning as catalysts.
