Supercritical Water Oxidation With Overhead Effluent Quenching

US Patent:
5200093, Apr 6, 1993
Filed:
Jun 3, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/709264
Inventors:
Herbert E. Barner - Kinnelon NJ
Chiung-Yuan Huang - Glen Ridge NJ
William R. Killilea - West Chelmsford MA
Glenn T. Hong - Tewksbury MA
Assignee:
ABB Lummus Crest Inc. - Bloomfield NJ
International Classification:
C02F 174, C02F 1108
US Classification:
210761
Abstract:
In a supercritical oxidation process, the oxidized supercritical fluid effluent (46) discharged from the upper region of the reactor vessel (10) is contacted with a cold quench liquid (66) so as to produce a relatively solids free vapor stream (53) and a liquid stream (51) containing the bulk of the precipitates and other solids carried over in the oxidized supercritical fluid effluent (46). The temperature of the resultant liquid stream (51) is maintained at a temperature below the solids solubility inversion temperature, typically below 600. degree. F. , so as to dissolve a substantial portion of the precipitates and other solids collected therein.
