Abstract:
1. An apparatus suitable for generating gaseous hydrocarbon fuel from a carbon based synthesis gas, comprising: a reaction chamber receiving heated a carbon based synthesis gas including a first axial rotating shaft having a plurality first radial blades mixing and circulating a carbon based synthesis gas and a fine particulate catalyst upwardly in said reaction chamber generating gaseous hydrocarbon fuel bound to the particulate catalyst, and a first impervious tubular baffle surrounding said reaction chamber; a stripping chamber located above said reaction chamber receiving gaseous hydrocarbon fuel bound to fine particulate catalyst from said reaction chamber including a second axial rotating shaft in said stripping chamber rotated at a greater velocity than said first axial rotating shaft having a plurality of second radial blades driving gaseous hydrocarbon fuel radially outwardly through an annular filter surrounding said stripping chamber, wherein said second axial rotating shaft is tubular and telescopically received on said first axial rotating shaft and is independently rotatably driven by a motor; a source of hot stripping gas directing hot stripping gas into said stripping chamber stripping gaseous hydrocarbon fuel from the fine particulate catalyst and maintaining the hydrocarbon fuel in a gaseous state; an annular gas collection chamber surrounding said annular filter receiving gaseous hydrocarbon fuel from said stripping chamber; and a gas outlet communicating with said annular gas collection chamber directing gaseous hydrocarbon fuel out of said apparatus.
