LOW TEMPERATURE SOLIDS REMOVAL SYSTEM FOR GASIFICATION
First Claim
1. A process for removing coarse solids and fine solids from a syngas comprising:
- wetting the coarse solids and fine solids in a first chamber thereby separating the coarse solids and a portion of the fine solids from the syngas;
cooling the coarse solids and fine solids in a liquid in the first chamber;
urging the coarse solids and fine solids into a liquid-filled second chamber;
allowing the coarse solids to settle to the bottom of the second chamber;
flushing the liquid containing the fine solids from the second chamber into a third chamber;
separating the fine solids from the liquid in the third chamber;
urging the coarse solids from the second chamber into a fourth chamber; and
urging the fine solids from the third chamber into a fourth chamber.

Abstract
Disclosed is a process for removing coarse solids and fine solids from a gas, which includes wetting the coarse solids and fine solids in a first chamber thereby separating the coarse solids and fine solids from the gas. The first chamber also contains liquid to cool the coarse solids and the fine solids. The coarse solids and fine solids are routed to a liquid-filled second chamber where the coarse solids settle to the bottom. The liquid in the second chamber, still containing the fine solids is flushed into a third chamber where the fine solids are separated from the liquid. The separated fine solids and coarse solids are then routed to a fourth chamber.
