Patent ID: 8617268

Claim:
An equipment for carrying out a process for producing synthesis gas (S) from biomass, said equipment comprising a storage unit ( 1 ) for biomass and means ( 3 ; 5 , 6 ) to carry out pyrolysis and combustion of the biomass, wherein the equipment further comprises first or second heat exchanging means ( 7 , 9 ; 15 ) to receive outgoing gases (CO 2 , N 2 and H 2 O) from the means ( 3 ; 5 , 6 ) to carry out pyrolysis and combustion of the biomass, a gas purification unit ( 10 ) to receive the outgoing gases (CO 2 , N 2 and H 2 O) that are cooled in the first or second heat exchanging means ( 7 , 9 ; 15 ), means ( 11 ) to supply a process gas (P) from the gas purification unit ( 10 ) to the first heat exchanging means ( 7 , 9 ), and a reduction shaft ( 12 ) to carry out reduction of the process gas (P) discharged from the first heat exchanging means ( 7 , 9 ).
