Sealpot and method for controlling a solids flow rate therethrough

Title: Sealpot and method for controlling a solids flow rate therethrough

Abstract

A sealpot for a combustion power plant includes a downcomer standpipe which receives solids of the combustion power plant, a bed including a first end and a second opposite end, the first end connected to the downcomer standpipe, a discharge standpipe disposed at the second opposite end of the bed, and an orifice plate disposed between the bed and the discharge standpipe separating the discharge standpipe from the bed. The orifice plate includes apertures disposed at a height above the bed which allow transport of fluidized solids and gas through the orifice plate.

Method and apparatus for controlling mass flow rate of recycled anode tail gas in solid oxide fuel cell system

Patent Absmeier, John P.; Kelly, Sean M.; Geiger, Gail E.

In an SOFC stack system, a reformer supplies reformate to the stack. An anode tail gas portion is recycled into the reformer. An inline flowmeter indicates an apparent recycle flow rate. A map of anode tail gas composition as a function of fuel utilization efficiency U, reformer oxygen/carbon ratio O:C, and recycle percentage R is generated on a laboratory test bed at various recycle rates and fuel utilization rates. Compositions are sent through a flowmeter and a Coriolus mass flowmeter provide a Coriolus flow and sensor voltage function across the various compositions and flow rates to create an average curvemore »« less

Method and apparatus for controlling the flow rate of mercury in a flow system

Patent Grossman, Mark W [Belmont, MA]; Speer, Richard [Reading, MA]

A method for increasing the mercury flow rate to a photochemical mercury enrichment utilizing an entrainment system comprises the steps of passing a carrier gas over a pool of mercury maintained at a first temperature T1, wherein the carrier gas entrains mercury vapor; passing said mercury vapor entrained carrier gas to a second temperature zone T2 having temperature less than T1 to condense said entrained mercury vapor, thereby producing a saturated Hg condition in the carrier gas; and passing said saturated Hg carrier gas to said photochemical enrichment reactor.
