| abstract |
The present invention provides a carbonaceous feedstock gasification system comprising an integrated control subsystem. The system generally includes a gasification reactor (or converter) having one or more processing zones and one or more plasma heat sources, a solid residue handling subsystem, a gas quality conditioning subsystem, and an overall carbon. Various combinations of integrated control subsystems for managing the energy balance for energy conversion of raw materials and maintaining all aspects of the gasification process at optimal set points. The gasification system may also optionally include a heat recovery subsystem and / or a product gas control subsystem. |
