Abstract: QUENCH RING AND DIP TUBE ASSEMBLY An assembly of a quench liquid distribution ring and dip tube with or without a draft tube for use in a hot effluent gas quench cooling zone containing a pool of quench liquid in the bottom in combination with a vertical cylindrical free-flow refractory lined reaction zone of a partial oxidation gas generator. The hot effluent gas from the reaction zone passes through a bottom central discharge outlet and passage and then through a coaxial vertical dip tube that extends down into a pool of quench liquid. A quench liquid distribution ring that includes an annular rectangular shaped bottom feed quench liquid distribution channel, surrounds the outside diameter of the dip tube at its upstream end. A quench ring face and cover is provided that comprises a vertical cylindrical shaped leg portion and a top horizontal flat ring plate portion that extends perpendicularly outward from the upstream end of the leg portion. The cylindrical shaped leg portion extends downward and overlaps the outside of the inner wall of said annular rectangular shaped quench liquid distribution channel thereby providing an annular shaped gap therebetween. The top horizontal flat ring plate portion provides a gas and liquid tight cover with the annular quench liquid distribution channel when the two parts are bolted to a floor flange connected to the support floor for the refractory that lines the reaction zone of the gas generator. A plurality of slot orifices pass through the inner wall of said annular distribution channel to provide free passage for the quench liquid between the distribution channel and the annular gap. The annular gap may be kept full of quench liquid and free from gas and vapor pockets, thereby avoiding poor heat transfer. The quench liquid is then evenly distributed over the inside surface of the dip tube.

Abstract: 1321153 Cold separation of gas mixtures TEXACO DEVELOPMENT CORP 29 June 1971 30354/71 Heading F4P Separation of C 4 hydrocarbons from admixture with hydrogen and methane is effected by passing a compressed feed stream 13 downwardly through the shell space of one or other of two switchable heat exchangers 19, 21 according to the setting of valves 14, 16 thereby condensing the C 4 h.c. on trays 23 of the on stream exchanger, e.g. 19, withdrawing at 28 the so-purified gas stream, work-expanding it at 39, passing the so-cooled gas upwardly through a coil 29 thereby providing cold for exchanger 19, withdrawing the major portion of the so-warmed expanded purified gas stream at 31, recompressing it at 51 and passing that portion not discharged as product hydrogen at 60 through a line 62 and, downwardly through coil 29 1 of the on-purge exchanger 21 and from thence to the inlet of expander 39, withdrawing at 32 a minor portion of expanded purified gas from coil 29, further work expanding it at 72 and passing it upwardly through the tray space 22 1 of exchanger 21 thereby purging the latter of condensate generated during the previous cycle. The exchangers 19, 21 are switched by rever- sal of valves 14 16, 34, 40, 44, 49, 67 and 74 from the positions shown.

Abstract: The hot raw synthesis gas stream leaving the reaction zone of a free flow partial oxidation gas generator at a temperature in the range of about 1800.degree. to 3000.degree.F. is passed through a first gas diversion and residue separation zone where the velocity of the gas stream is reduced and its direction is diverted into a side transfer line. Solid material and molten slag separate by gravity from the gas stream. the hot gas stream is then introduced into a second gas diversion and residue separation zone where additional residue is separated. About 0.5 to 20 vol. % of the hot gas stream may be passed through bottom outlets in said first and second gas diversion zones in order to prevent bridging. The hot gas stream from the second gas diversion zone is passed upwardly through a radiant cooler where additional solid matter is removed by gravity and the gas temperature is reduced to a temperature in the range of about 900.degree. to 1800.degree.F. In one embodiment, the second diversion and residue separation zone is a thermally insulated cyclone. By the subject process, 70 to 95 wt. % of the combustion residue is removed from the raw stream of synthesis gas, and the temperature of the gas stream is reduced below the maximum safe operating temperature for downstream devices used to recover energy from the hot gas stream such as a conventional convection type gas cooler.

Abstract: : A process for the efficient production of power from nongaseous carbonaceous fuels, such as coal, or heavy fuel oil, in a steam power plant in which the carbonaceous fuel is first gasified at relatively high pressure and temperature by partial oxidation with oxygen to produce a fuel gas, the fuel gas from the partial oxidation reaction is expanded to a lower pressure in a turbine. Undesirable compounds, e.g., sulfur compounds, are removed from the fuel gas, and the fuel gas supplied to a steam boiler for the production of power. The process of this invention provides an effective means for conversion of gas fired steam generation facilities to coal or heavy fuel oil while at the same time increasing the power generating capacity of the installation, all with minimal atmospheric pollution. The process is effective for the conversion of other types of gas-fired heaters and boilers to coal or heavy fuel oil.

Abstract: Gas turbines for producing mechanical and electrical power without polluting the atmosphere are fueled by an improved clean fuel gas having a heat of combustion of preferably about 70-100 BTU/SCF. Fuel-gas is produced by the partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous fuel in a free-flow non-catalytic fuel gas generator. Feedstock to the fuel gas generator may include high ash, high sulfur, hydrocarbonaceous fuel. Pollutants are separated from the process stream of fuel gas, and a CO2-rich stream is recovered. Optionally, this CO2-rich stream may be used either as a portion of the temperature moderator in the gas generator or in a noncatalytic, thermal, reverse water-gas shift reaction with hydrogen in the process fuel gas stream to increase the mole ratio (CO/H2), or both.

Abstract: PARTIAL OXIDATION PROCESS WITH PRODUCTION OF POWER (D#70,519-F) Power is developed by an expansion turbine in which the working fluid is a gaseous mixture comprising all of the hot raw gas stream leaving an unpacked partial oxidation gas generator, after removing if present a portion of the entrained solids, in admixture with a temperature moderating stream. A molal increase is associated with the partial oxidation process. Power is obtained from this molal increase in addition to the power obtained from the elevated pressure and sensible heat in the hot raw partial oxidation product gas. The temperature moderating stream may comprise a recycle portion of the turbine exhaust gas stream after being cooled, cleaned, optionally water-gas shifted or purified, or both, and recompressed. Alternatively, the recycle gas stream may be mixed with water, steam, or both. In one embodiment the temperature moderating stream comprises liquid water or condensate produced in the process. Auxiliary gas compressors for recompressing said recycle gas, and optionally for compressing a freeoxygen containing gas for use in the gas generation zone may be driven by said expansion turbine. Similarly, an electric generator may be coupled to the turbine shaft.
