Abstract

See full text

A system and method for improving the quality of a raw gas or raw syngas passes the raw gas or raw syngas past a catalytic element comprising catalyst with an optional sorbent. A downstream measurement of one or more parameters of the improved gas is fed back to a controller configured to regulate the regeneration of the catalyst and optional sorbent and, optionally, the flow rate of the regeneration fluid to the catalytic element. The system and method are particularly suitable for improving raw syngas generated from a carbonaceous material in a fixed bed or fluidized-bed or entrained-flow gasifier. One or more undesirable syngas constituents are subject to one or more of catalytic cracking, reforming, partial oxidation and/or decomposition to promote their conversion into desirable syngas constituents. At least one catalytic element is regenerated in situ, either periodically, continuously, or in a combination of these two modes.
