摘要

A system is provided with a segmented solid feed pump (10) having a plurality of pump segments (204) disposed along a closed-loop path (206). The plurality of pump segments (204) are coupled together in series along the closed-loop path (206), and the plurality of pump segments (204) move along the closed-loop path (206). Furthermore, each pump segment (204) includes a holding receptacle (210).
