SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REACTOR CHEMISTRY AND CONTROL

FIG. 8 illustrates a flow diagram. In step 900 , biomass grinding can occur. Equipment generally used for grinding biomass includes impact mills (e.g. hammer mills), attrition mills, and kinetic disintegration mills (e.g. flail mills). A hammer mill system can be used to grind the bales (loaded by conveyer) into primary particles. The re-ground particles have an average size between 500 um and 1000 um, and are loaded into the lock hopper system with a standard belt conveyer.

00104] The operation of the concentrating solar field can be decoupled from maintaining reactor operation in a limited function because the integrated plant has supplemental heating of the chemical reactor to keep the reactor near operational temperature at start up and the automatically controlled door on the receiver controls heat loss from the receiver and reactor during periods of shutdown. [00105] Figure 9 illustrates a flow diagram. In step 900, biomass grinding can occur. Equipment generally used for grinding biomass includes impact mills (e.g. hammer mills), attrition mills, and kinetic disintegration mills (e.g. flail mills). A hammer mill system can be used to grind the bales (loaded by conveyer) into primary particles. The re-ground particles have an average size between 500 urn and 1000 urn, and are loaded into the lock hopper system with a standard belt conveyer.

[0083] Figure 8 illustrates a flow diagram. In step 900, biomass grinding can occur. Equipment generally used for grinding biomass includes impact mills (e.g. hammer mills), attrition mills, and kinetic disintegration mills (e.g. flail mills). A hammer mill system can be used to grind the bales (loaded by conveyer) into primary particles, which are to be fed into the solar thermal gasifier. The re-ground particles have an average size between 500 µm and 1000 µm, and are loaded into the lock hopper system with a standard belt conveyer. [0084] In step 902 biomass feeding occurs. In some embodiments, high pressure feeding may be used. High pressure feeding of solids of biomass with gasification at pressure may reduce capital cost due to the ability to use smaller compressors in some such systems. Additionally, operating cost may be reduced because energy for pressurizing carrier gas comes from the sun, as opposed to from electricity. The lock hopper system can feed the reactor processes at pressure. For example, the feeding system can entrain the biomass materials in steam at high pressure, successfully disengage the particulates in the cyclone system, and distribute flow appropriately to the reactor tubes
