Patent ID: 8858661

Claim:
A gasification apparatus under an integrated pyrolysis reformer system (IPRS) comprising: a pyrolysis chamber connected to a reformer to supply pyrolysis gas (flue gas) to the reformer; a syngas burner for introducing steam or steam and carbon dioxide gases generated from combusting hydrogen gas or syngas with oxygen gas into the reformer; and the reformer reacting pyrolysis gas (flue gas) with steam or steam and carbon dioxide gases to produce syngas; and wherein the syngas burner is situated horizontally at the bottom of the reformer, while the pyrolysis chamber is situated vertically at the top of the reformer, and the reformer is inclined 60° with the horizontal syngas burner and 30° with the vertically situated pyrolysis chamber, and wherein a portion of syngas produced in the reformer is used to heat the pyrolysis chamber and return to the reformer with the flue gas, and the rest of the syngas produced flows through a heat exchanger and into a syngas storage tank.
