Abstract:
1. A solid feed system, comprising: a supersonic nozzle configured to form a supersonic steam flow; a supersonic fluid flow path defined by the supersonic steam flow; an isolated injection section positioned downstream from the supersonic nozzle, the isolated injection section having a port for injection of solid feedstock, the port positioned and oriented in a direction substantially aligned with the supersonic steam flow path; a supersonic diffuser positioned downstream from the isolated injection section; a solid feedstock flow path originating at the port and extending downstream at least partially through the isolated injection section in a direction substantially aligned with the supersonic fluid flow path; and a barrier comprising a perforated shield positioned in the isolated injection section between the supersonic steam flow path and the solid feedstock flow path.
