Abstract
Method and apparatus for inhibiting plugging in a reactor that operates at a temperature and a pressure that are at least in the vicinity of supercritical condition for water. One or more salts are preferably added, in a controlled manner, to a stream containing a first salt, in order to allow a eutectic, molten blend with the first salt to be formed. The blend may have a melting point below the temperature of the reactor. The stream is introduced into the reactor and preferably at least a portion of the blend is in a molten state. Plugging in the reactor may thus be inhibited or prevented.
