Embodiment Construction
[0019] In practicing the invention, a structure similar to a multi-electrode DC open arc furnace is used. Larger gasification capacities can be achieved with this concept. As noted, plasma-based gasification does not require oxygen and does not require a gas separation unit. Elimination of these features is expected to reduce the capital cost of the equipment.
[0020] In the gasification process, the process temperature is the main parameter affecting the kinetics and carbon conversion. The process temperature depends on the nature of the gasification structure and design factors aimed at achieving maximum and efficient energy transfer by the plasma arc by radiative and convective means.
[0021] The drawing shows a DC arc gasifier 10 according to the present invention comprising a lower vessel 12 and an upper vessel 14 operating as an entrainment streamer 16 .
[0022] The lower vessel 12 includes a slag containment structure 20 having a lid 22 . A plurality of electrode...
