Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosed embodiments include systems for using an expander. In a first embodiment, a system includes a flow path and a gasification section disposed along the flow path. The gasification section is configured to convert a feedstock into a syngas. The system also includes a scrubber disposed directly downstream of the gasification section and configured to filter the syngas. The system also includes a first expander disposed along the flow path directly downstream from the scrubber and configured to expand the syngas. The syngas comprises an untreated syngas.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a flow path; a gasification section disposed along the flow path and configured to convert a feedstock into a syngas; a scrubber disposed directly downstream of the gasification section and configured to filter the syngas; and a first turbo expander disposed along the flow path directly downstream from the scrubber and configured to expand the syngas, wherein the syngas comprises an untreated syngas, and wherein the first tu…
