Abstract (en)

An apparatus (10) for the purification of a synthesis gas flow obtained from the gasification of refuses and/or biomasses, by means of physical removal of solid particles (particulate) and liquid particles (for example, drops of water) therein contained, comprising: a substantially cylindrical shell (12), closed at the opposite ends by respective upper (16) and lower (18) bottoms, a first (20) and a second chamber (22), coaxial, defined in said shell (12) and arranged in substantial mutual alignment, said first chamber (12) having an upper end (20a) closed by said upper bottom (16) and the other lower end (20b) open in the upper open end (22a) of said second chamber (22), the other lower end (22b) of said second chamber (22) being closed by said lower bottom (18), an inlet duct (24) of a synthesis gas flow to be purified, open in said first chamber (20) in a direction substantially tangent to the inner wall (26) thereof, a discharge duct (28) of purified synthesis gas, open in said first chamber (20) through said upper bottom (16), a plate device of particulate-sedimentation (30), supported in said second chamber (22), axially extended therein and having an upper end (32) being in predetermined spaced relationship from the open lower end (20b) of said first chamber (20).
