Abstract:
1. A process for treating a syngas stream, the process comprising: quenching the syngas stream with a liquid stream to cool the syngas stream and remove particulates; co-scrubbing the syngas stream to remove both HCl and ammonia from the syngas stream; removing additional particulate matter from the syngas stream; and removing sulfur from the syngas stream to form a clean syngas stream; wherein the process is a unitary process comprising simultaneously contacting water with the syngas stream to cool the syngas stream, removing the particulates from the syngas stream, and removing the ammonia and HCl from the syngas stream, where the syngas stream is the effluent of a waste gasifier and wherein there are no intermediate steps between the gasifier and the unitary process.
