Support Shelves for Gasifier Dome and Thermocouple

Abstract

A gasifier lining comprises a first support shelf located directly under a dome area of the gasifier lining; and a second support shelf located directly under a thermocouple that penetrates the gasifier lining. A method of producing a gasifier comprising support shelves comprises providing a first support shelf directly under a thermocouple insertion area in a lining of the gasifier; and providing a second support shelf in the lining of the gasifier directly under a dome area of the gasifier.

1 . A gasifier lining, comprising:
 a first support shelf located directly under a dome area of the gasifier lining; and   a second support shelf located directly under a thermocouple that penetrates the gasifier lining.   
     
     
         2 . The gasifier lining of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of support shelves located directly under the dome area of the gasifier vessel. 
     
     
         3 . The gasifier lining of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of thermocouples supported by a respective plurality of shelves. 
     
     
         4 . The gasifier lining of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second support shelf are metal. 
     
     
         5 . The gasifier lining of  claim 1 , wherein the lining comprises a plurality of layers. 
     
     
         6 . A method of producing a gasifier comprising support shelves, the method comprising:
 providing a first support shelf directly under a thermocouple insertion area in a lining of the gasifier; and   providing a second support shelf in the lining of the gasifier directly under a dome area of the gasifier.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising providing a first plurality of thermocouples supported by a respective plurality of shelves. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising providing a second plurality of support shelves located directly under the dome area of the gasifier vessel. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first and second support shelf are metal. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the lining comprises a plurality of layers.
