Definitions

  • a process and system is provided for cooling syngas. More specifically, syngas is blended with cooled recycled syngas to provide a blended syngas. The blended syngas is subsequently transferred to a syngas cooler.
  • Microorganisms can produce ethanol and other compounds from carbon monoxide (CO) through fermentation of gaseous substrates.
  • the CO is often provided to the fermentation as part of a gaseous substrate in the form of a syngas.
  • Gasification of carbonaceous materials to produce producer gas or synthesis gas or syngas that includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen is well known in the art.
  • such a gasification process involves a partial oxidation or starved-air oxidation of carbonaceous material in which a sub-stoichiometeic amount of oxygen is supplied to the gasification process to promote production of carbon monoxide.
  • Syngas produced by gasification processes described in the art can be hot and needs cooling prior to downstream processing and subsequent fermentation.
  • Hot syngas comprising carbon monoxide generated in a gasification apparatus, is cooled in a heat exchanger or waste heat boiler downstream of the gasification apparatus, see for example US Patent No. 6,435, 139; US Patent No. 7,587,995 and US Patent No, 7,552,701. Effective and controlled cooling of syngas is important in minimizing fouling.
  • a process and system for cooling syngas provides effective syngas cooling and results in reduced levels of fouling in syngas cooling equipment
  • a process for cooling syngas includes blending syngas with cooled recycled syngas in an amount effective for providing a blended syngas with a temperature at an inlet of a syngas cooler of about 600°F to about 1400°F.
  • the blended syngas changes direction of flow at least once prior to the inlet of the syngas cooler.
  • a syngas mixing system in another aspect, includes a gasification chamber having a diameter DM and a syngas recycle inlet having a diameter D C .
  • the syngas recycle inlet enters the gasification chamber at a distal end of the gasification chamber.
  • the system includes a gasification outlet having a diameter DM.
  • the gasification outlet is continuous with the distal end of the gasification chamber and the gasification outlet including at least one change of direction prior to entering a syngas cooler.
  • a process for cooling syngas includes blending syngas with cooled recycled syngas in an amount effective for providing a blended syngas with a temperature at an inlet of a syngas cooler in the range of about 600°F to about 1400°F.
  • the cooled recycled syngas is supplied to a distal end of a gasification chamber having a diameter DM through a syngas recycle inlet having a diameter Dc, and D C /D H is about 0.25 to about 0.75.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a syngas mixing system
  • Figure 2 shows a bottom view of a syngas mixing system.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 61/516,667, 61/516,704 and 61/516,646, all of which were filed on April 6, 201 1 , and all of which are incorporated in their entirety herein by reference.
A process and system is provided for cooling syngas. More specifically, syngas is blended with cooled recycled syngas to provide a blended syngas. The blended syngas is subsequently transferred to a syngas cooler.
BACKGROUND
Microorganisms can produce ethanol and other compounds from carbon monoxide (CO) through fermentation of gaseous substrates. The CO is often provided to the fermentation as part of a gaseous substrate in the form of a syngas. Gasification of carbonaceous materials to produce producer gas or synthesis gas or syngas that includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen is well known in the art. Typically, such a gasification process involves a partial oxidation or starved-air oxidation of carbonaceous material in which a sub-stoichiometeic amount of oxygen is supplied to the gasification process to promote production of carbon monoxide.
Syngas produced by gasification processes described in the art can be hot and needs cooling prior to downstream processing and subsequent fermentation. Hot syngas comprising carbon monoxide generated in a gasification apparatus, is cooled in a heat exchanger or waste heat boiler downstream of the gasification apparatus, see for example US Patent No. 6,435, 139; US Patent No. 7,587,995 and US Patent No, 7,552,701. Effective and controlled cooling of syngas is important in minimizing fouling.

In another aspect, a syngas mixing system includes a gasification chamber having a diameter DM and a syngas recycle inlet having a diameter DC. The syngas recycle inlet enters the gasification chamber at a distal end of the gasification chamber. The system includes a gasification outlet having a diameter DM. The gasification outlet is continuous with the distal end of the gasification chamber and the gasification outlet including at least one change of direction prior to entering a syngas cooler.
