Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for Self-Quenching Gasification Process

MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617094656 A) filed by Borealis Gmbh on August 05, 2026, for Self-Quenching Gasification Process.

Inventors include Thunman, Henrik; Seemann, Martin; Mandviwala, Chahat; and Dingwell, Kristofer Lennart.

The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.

Abstract: A process for simultaneously producing a mixture of hydrocarbons from a carbonaceous feedstock and recovering heat, the process comprising the steps of a) providing, as a fluidization steam, a stream of steam via at least one gas inlet to a bottom section of a fluidized bed reactor; b) contacting said stream of steam with a solid bed material thereby transferring heat from said stream of steam to said bed material such that a fluidized stream comprising steam and a heated bed material are obtained; c) feeding a carbonaceous feedstock into said fluidized bed reactor; d) contacting said carbonaceous feedstock with said fluidized stream comprising steam and a heated fluidized bed material in a reaction zone of said fluidized bed reactor thereby forming a fluidized bed, e) allowing a fluid stream comprising steam and a mixture of hydrocarbons in gaseous form to leave the fluidized bed at the top; (f) allowing said fluid stream of steam and hydrocarbons in gaseous form to reside in a free gas volume above the fluidized bed in order to allow for the decay of radicals present in said stream of hydrocarbons in gaseous form; (g) withdrawing a gaseous product mixture comprising a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons from said fluidized bed reactor and transferring at least part thereof directly to a heat exchanger in order to recover heat; wherein in step c) said carbonaceous feedstock is fed to the reactor via at least one inlet on the top of the reactor; and wherein the fluidized stream has a fluidization velocity in a range of from 2 to 10 times the minimum fluidization velocity as calculated using the Ergun equation.
