Patent ID: 7780749

Claim:
An unmixed fuel processor, comprising: an oxidation reactor comprising an oxidation portion and a gasifier, wherein the oxidation portion comprises an air inlet, effluent outlet, and an oxygen transfer material that undergoes an exothermic oxidation reaction with air introduced into the oxidation reactor through the air inlet to produce oxygen depleted gas at a high temperature and high pressure that exits the oxidation reactor through the effluent outlet, and wherein the gasifier comprises a solid hydrocarbon fuel inlet, a solids outlet, and a syngas outlet, a CO 2 acceptor reactor comprising a water inlet, a hydrogen outlet, and a CO 2 sorbent, wherein the CO 2 acceptor reactor is configured to receive syngas from the gasifier; a regeneration reactor comprising a water inlet and a CO 2 stream outlet, wherein the regeneration reactor is configured to receive spent CO 2 adsorption material from the CO 2 acceptor reactor and to return regenerated CO 2 adsorption material to the CO 2 acceptor reactor, and configured to receive oxidized oxygen transfer material from the oxidation reactor and to return reduced oxygen transfer material to the oxidation reactor.
