Patent ID: 7857995

Claim:
A method for select synthesis gas generation from solid carbonaceous materials comprising the steps of: inputting a feedstock solids carbonaceous material; subjecting said feedstock solids carbonaceous material to a pressurized environment; intentionally establishing stoichiometric carbon conversion conditions for said feedstock solids carbonaceous material in said pressurized environment; stoichiometrically controlling carbon content relative to a target carbon content for a select product gas; increasing an temperature within said pressurized environment to which said feedstock solids carbonaceous material is subjected; pyrolytically decomposing at least a portion of said feedstock solids carbonaceous material in a solid carbonaceous materials gasifier system; creating a pyrolytically decomposed carbonaceous material; processing said pyrolytically decomposed carbonaceous material in said solid carbonaceous materials gasifier system; generating at least some components of a select product gas in response to said step of processing said pyrolytically decomposed carbonaceous material; outputting at least some select product gas from said solid carbonaceous materials gasifier system.
