The present invention relates to a process and system for gasifying biomass or other carbonaceous feedstocks 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.

Existing energy recovery systems are used in the fields of air conditioning and ventilation for recovering energy from the outgoing air or external air. Subsequent to an energy recovery system (10), additional thermal energy is extracted from a used air volume flow AB, which is coming from an air-conditioned room, by another system, which consists of a heat pump (3), a heat exchanger (1), another heat exchanger (2), an accumulator circuit (9), an energy accumulator (9.1), and of a mixing valve (6). The associated supply air volume flow ZU is, when heating, additionally heated by the heat pump (3) by means of thermal energy from the used air volume flow AB. This results in increasing the energy yield from the used air volume flow AB. The temperature of the supply air is regulated. When cooling, the supply air volume flow ZU is cooled to the desired supply air temperature.

A geothermal fill material composed of one or more high heat conductivity materials alone or in combination to produce a fill that can be used to cover and encapsulate geothermal ground coils to improve heat transfer between the ground and the fluid inside the coils and to improve the rate of heat recovery of the fill in contact and in the vicinity of the coils. These materials can be in the form of particulates, rods or wire mesh and in any combination. Further enhancements are to cover this high conductivity material with low conductivity materials near the surface of the ground or to install the coils in a ground coil field below a structure in order to reduce ground heat loss to the atmosphere in the winter and to reduce heat gain from the atmosphere in the summer.

A prime mover (28) in a heat recovery system drives an induction generator (8) which feeds power to a utility grid (9) through a breaker (10) but also powers a load including auxiliary induction motors (11, 12). To provide acceptable waveform and power factor, the auxiliary equipment is driven through IGBT switched bridge converters (13) by DC voltage (15) generated by an IGBT switched bridge converter (13a), instead of three-phase diode rectifiers (16). The switched bridge converter controller (14a) is responsive to a system process controller (23a) which causes the switched bridge controller (13a) to be driven in response to the voltage (26) and current (27) on the generator bus (17). This eliminates the need for harmonic filters (18) and power factor capacitors (20) while improving the quality of the power generated. The controller (23a) trips the breaker if the voltage, frequency or power factor is out of limits.

Hydrocarbon feed to a catalytic reactor can be heat exchanged with flue gas from a catalyst regenerator. This innovation enables recovery of more energy from flue gas thus resulting in a lower flue gas discharge temperature. As a result, other hot hydrocarbon streams conventionally used to preheat hydrocarbon feed can now be used to generate more high pressure steam.

A method of oxidatively dehydrogenating a dehydrogenation reactant includes providing a first gaseous feed stream to a first adiabatic, catalytic reaction zone with less than a stoichiometric amount of oxygen and superheated steam, oxidatively dehydrogenating dehydrogenation reactant in said first adiabatic, catalytic reaction zone and subsequently cooling the effluent, adding additional oxygen and reacting the effluent stream in at least one subsequent adiabatic reaction zone. The deydrogenation system enables higher conversion and yield per pass and in some cases greatly reduces steam usage and energy costs. In a preferred integrated process, ethylene is converted to n-butene which is then oxidatively dehydrogenated to butadiene.
