A biorefinery reforms carbonaceous feedstocks into synthesis gas using a cylindrical pressure vessel and conical bottom section.
A catalytic hydrothermal gasification device decomposes organic wastewater into clean energy using a reactor and heat exchanger loop.
Integrating a catalyst and heating means in the free-board section reduces tar content without requiring a secondary reaction vessel, lowering capital costs.
Recycling oxygen-depleted gas controls temperature in tar reformer catalyst regeneration, reducing energy consumption and steam usage.
