Injection System for Bio-fuel Reactor

摘要

The bio-fuel reactor injection system includes supplementing a biomass feedstock with a feedstock gas so that thermal conditions within the reactor body are optimized. The feedstock gas facilitates the flow of the feedstock through the feedstock injection system and maintains the feedstock below the feedstock's melting point until the feedstock is injected into the reactor body. In the preferred embodiment, the supplemental feedstock gas is nitrogen. The injection system also includes a plurality of screens that form a gas distributor plate. The gas distributor plate at least partially supports a fluidized bed within the reactor body. In the preferred embodiment, the nitrogen-supplemented feedstock is injected into the fluidized bed within the reactor.
