Method and apparatus for separating fine particulates from a mixture of fine particulates and gas
This patent describes a method for separating fine particulates from a mixture of particulates and gas under elevated temperatures and pressure conditions. The method comprising: introducing the mixture of particulates and gas into a container; passing the mixture through filtering means, a first stream being mostly particulates and a second stream being mostly gas; splitting the flow of the first and second streams to achieve a desired ratio of flow rates of the first and second streams; discharging the first and second streams separately from the container; determining a temperature of the mixture; comparing the temperature with a preselected temperature; and adjusting the temperature of the mixture. An apparatus for separating fine particulates from a mixture of particulates and gas under elevated temperature and pressure conditions. The apparatus comprising: means for introducing the mixture of particulates and gas into a container; means for passing the mixture through filtering means thereby separating it into two flowing streams, a first stream being mostly particules and a second stream being mostly gas; means for splitting the flow of the first and second streams to achieve a desired ratio of flow rates of the first and second streams; means for discharging the first and second streams separately from the container; means for determining a temperature of the mixture; means for comparing the determined temperature with a preselected temperature; and means for adjusting the temperature of the mixture.
