Patent ID: 8900334

Claim:
Method for supplying an entrained-flow gasification reactor with fuel from a storage container, with at least one transfer container and at least one feed container being disposed between the entrained-flow gasification reactor and the storage container, wherein a reactor gas that contains CO and H 2 and flue ash is produced in the entrained-flow gasification reactor, wherein the reactor gas leaves the entrained-flow gasification reactor and is treated in a gas treatment unit to form a treated gas, wherein a first gas that contains at least 10 ppm vol. CO is separated from the treated gas, wherein the first gas that contains at least 10 ppm vol. CO is used for transfer and/or conveying, wherein a second gas that contains oxygen is mixed into the first gas to form a gas mixture, wherein the gas mixture is heated to a temperature that oxidizes at least 10% of the CO contained in the gas mixture to form an oxidized gas mixture, and wherein the oxidized gas mixture is at least partially released into the atmosphere.
