Displaying Gasifiers with Multiple Inlets

If a gasifier features more than one inlet for O2, H2O, or coal and if these inlets are clearly separated from each other, zones of different temperature can be identified in the gasifier. A point of state can be assigned to each zone within the ternary diagram illustrating the flexibility of the process. 

In the case of the E-Gas gasification, the first stages can also be displayed as distinct points, which are inside the slurry-feed entrained-flow domain for the standard system and inside the dry-feed domain for the enhanced system (entrained slagging transport reactor [E-STR]). The slurry point, which is located at the coal-H20 axis, represents the coal-water slurry that is introduced in the second stage. The overall mixing points, again, represent the outlet of the gasifier and can be found inside the fluid-bed domain. 

The mixing lines are omitted in all other diagrams for clarity, while all three points for the individual technologies are displayed.
