摘要:
An auto-thermal reformer assembly is provided having a plurality of self-contained reformer modules positioned within a pressure vessel. The reformer modules each contain catalyst for inducing reforming reactions to produce hydrogen rich gas. At least one heat exhanger is provided for transferring heat from the hydrogen rich gas to the reactants entering or inside of the pressure vessel.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for filtering oxidizable particles from hot synthesis gas or syngas uses a pair of candle filters each having an inlet side for receiving the hot unfiltered syngas to be filtered, and an outlet side for discharging hot filtered syngas. One housing contains both filters or a separate housing is provided for each filter. Each housing has an inlet for receiving hot unfiltered syngas and for supplying the hot unfiltered syngas to each of the filter inlet sides. Each housing also has an outlet for discharging hot filtered syngas from each of the filter outlet sides. Air is supplied to each housing for supplying combustion air alternately to each of the candle filters for burning oxidizable particles trapped on each respective filter to clean each filter while the other filter is filtering the hot unfiltered syngas. One or more switching valves are connected to the combustion air supplies for alternating the supply of combustion air between the candle filters.
