Abstract:
1. A plasma assisted gasification system with indirect vacuum system, comprising: a reactor vessel having at least one fuel inlet, a pyrolysis reaction zone, a combustion reaction zone, and a syngas collection chamber, wherein the pyrolysis reaction zone is positioned upstream of the combustion reaction zone and includes at least one plasma torch, wherein the combustion reaction zone is positioned upstream of carbon layer support, and the carbon layer support is positioned upstream of the syngas collection chamber; a syngas heater with an inlet in fluid communication with the syngas collection chamber, wherein the syngas heater is positioned in the pyrolysis reaction zone such that heat from the pyrolysis reaction zone heats syngas flowing through the syngas heater; and a vacuum source positioned downstream from the reactor vessel and in communication with a syngas outlet in the reactor vessel such that, during operation, syngas in the reactor vessel is drawn through the combustion reaction zone, the syngas collection chamber, the syngas heater and the syngas outlet in the reactor vessel.
