Abstract:
A solids circulation system receives a gas stream containing char or other reacting solids from a first reactor. The solids circulation system includes a cyclone configured to receive the gas stream from the first reactor, a dipleg from the cyclone to a second reactor, and a riser from the second reactor which merges with the gas stream received by the cyclone. The second reactor has a dense fluid bed and converts the received materials to gaseous products. A conveying fluid transports a portion of the bed media from the second reactor through the riser to mix with the gas stream prior to cyclone entry. The bed media helps manipulate the solids that is received by the cyclone to facilitate flow of solids down the dipleg into the second reactor. The second reactor provides additional residence time, mixing and gas-solid contact for efficient conversion of char or reacting solids.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for producing a product gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, the method comprising:\n providing the reactor according to  claim 1 ; exothermically reacting an oxygen-containing gas with the solid carbon-containing substance to produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; and endothermically reacting the superheated steam with the solid carbon-containing substance to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
