Invention Title
Coal gasification and coal combined cycle system
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us:1
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- la The present invention relates to a coal gasification system for gasifying coal to obtain gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen as main components and a coal gasification combined cycle system for generating power by a gas turbine using syngas produced by gasification of coal as fuel.
Coal is formed from ancient plants carbonized underground and is classified according to the carbonization degree (fixed carbon quantity) and volatile matter quantity.
At present, most of coal used for coal-fired power generation are classified as bituminous coal. The moisture contained in coal, although different from each other depending on the habitat even in the same bituminous coal, is mostly 10 wt% or lower.
The coal kind lower in carbonization degree than bituminous coal is called brown coal. The brown coal is more in the moisture content than bituminous coal and may contain about 50% of moisture depending on the coal kind.
To perform high efficiency power generation in a power generation plant using coal as fuel, it is necessary to pulverize coal by using a mill, though coal containing much moisture cannot be pulverized by the mill unless it is dried.
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 2 When using coal containing much moisture such as brown coal as fuel for a power generation plant after drying it, due to heat loss resulting from coal drying, the power generation efficiency of the power generation plant is reduced, so that even though brown coal is larger in the amount of reserves and lower in cost than bituminous coal, brown coal was less used as fuel for a coal power generation plant.
Therefore, for a coal-fired power generation plant using coal containing much moisture such as brown coal as fuel, various measures have been proposed to improve the power generation efficiency.
The technology described in Japanese Patent Laidopen No. 2011-214814 (Patent Literature 1) shows a method of drying coal containing much moisture by a fluidized bed dryer. The fluidized bed is fluidized by steam and to the fluidized bed, the heat for drying coal is fed via a heat exchanger tube.
In the technology described in Patent Literature 1, 20 even when feeding steam at about 200°C as a flow medium, the heat feed via the heat exchanger tube is necessary because the quantity of heat necessary to vaporize moisture in coal is large and if no heat is fed via the heat exchanger tube, the temperature of the steam fed as a flow medium is reduced and the moisture is
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 3 condensed .
In the Patent Literature 1, the moisture in coal can be converted to steam by the fluidized bed dryer, so that the converted steam is discharged from the fluidized bed dryer along with the steam used for fluidization and fed to a steam turbine, resulting in that part of the heat used for drying can be collected as power. Further, since the steam discharged from the fluidized bed includes small particles of coal, dust removal is necessary before feeding the steam to the steam turbine.
The technology described in Japanese Patent Laidopen No. 2010-106722 (Patent Literature 2) shows a high-efficiency power generation method using coal including much moisture as fuel by a coal gasification combined cycle system.
The coal gasification combined cycle system gasifies coal and uses syngas including the obtained carbon monoxide and hydrogen as fuel for a combined cycle system made up of a gas turbine and a steam turbine .
The coal-fired power generation widespread at present is coal boiler power generation where coal is completely burned by a boiler, the heating value is collected as steam, and then the steam turbine is
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 4 driven by this steam to generate power. By contrast, the coal gasification combined cycle system feeds the syngas generated from coal by the gasifier to the gas turbine as fuel, and the combustion temperature of the syngas at the gas turbine entrance is increased, thus a higher efficiency than the coal boiler power generation can be realized.
The technology described in the Patent Literature 2 collects the sensible heat of exhaust gas at the exit of the gas turbine as steam by the exhaust heat collection boiler and then uses it to dry coal including much moisture.
The temperature of the exhaust gas after the exhaust heat is collected by the exhaust heat 15 collection boiler is approximately 100°C and in the conventional thermal power generation plant, the exhaust gas has not been used effectively and if coal can be dried only by this exhaust gas, the power generation efficiency can be improved.
However, only the quantity of heat possessed by the exhaust gas after the exhaust heat collection is insufficient as the quantity of heat to dry the coal, so that the exhaust gas of the gas turbine before the exhaust heat collection is required to use and the improvement effect of the power generation efficiency
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 5 is limited.
The syngas obtained by gasification of coal is not only used for power generation but also used as a raw material of synthesis of methanol, synthesized oil, and dimethyl ether.
Depending on individual synthesis processes, suitable hydrogen/carbon monoxide ratio in the syngas is different, so it is a widespread practice that a water gas shift reactor for permitting the carbon monoxide and steam contained in the syngas to react each other and promoting the shift reaction for converting to carbon dioxide and hydrogen is installed so as to adjust the suitable hydrogen/carbon monoxide ratio in the syngas.
The shift reaction requires a catalyst and the water gas shift reactor mentioned above is filled with a shift reaction catalyst. Although depending on the property of the shift reaction catalyst, to progress the shift reaction, steam 1.2 to 2 times the carbon monoxide in the syngas is necessary, and steam must be produced by heating industrial water.
Further, even when burning the syngas obtained by gasifying coal as fuel and using it for power generation of the gas turbine, to reduce the carbon dioxide discharge rate and prevent the global warning,
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 6 before burning the syngas by the gas turbine, it is necessary to convert carbon monoxide and steam to carbon dioxide and hydrogen by the shift reaction, remove the converted carbon dioxide, then feed the syngas including the hydrogen to the gas turbine as fuel, and then burn it.
To increase the collection rate of carbon dioxide included in the syngas obtained by gasifying coal to
90% or higher, although depending on the coal kind, to feed steam used for the shift reaction, industrial water on the same level as the coal weight is necessary {Patent Literature 1} Japanese Patent Laid-open
No. 2011-214814 {Patent Literature 2} Japanese Patent Laid-open
No. 2010-106722
To adjust the hydrogen/carbon monoxide ratio of the syngas obtained by gasification of coal, a shift reaction for permitting the carbon monoxide and steam in the syngas to react and converting them to carbon dioxide and hydrogen is necessary and a problem arises that to obtain steam necessary to the shift reaction, a large quantity of industrial water is required.
The technology disclosed in the Japanese Patent
Laid-open No. 2011-214814 collects the heat used to dry coal by the steam turbine. However, this technology
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 7 must feed heat for vaporizing the moisture discharged from the coal to an overheat state from the outside.
The steam temperature at the exit of the fluidized bed dryer for drying coal is about 200°C at its maximum and even if the steam is fed to the steam turbine, the conversion efficiency to the electric power by the steam turbine is low, so that a problem arises that the heat loss is increased.
Further, in the technology disclosed in the
Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 2010-106722, the exhaust gas of the gas turbine after the exhaust heat collection which is not used is used to dry the coal, thus a certain degree of improvement effect of the power generation efficiency is obtained, though only by the exhaust gas after the exhaust heat collection, the quantity of heat necessary to dry coal cannot be obtained, so that the exhaust gas of the gas turbine before the heat collection must be added.
However, this technology discharges the exhaust gas after coal drying into the atmosphere, so that the heat used for drying cannot be collected and the power generation efficiency improvement effect is possibly limited. Furthermore, the moisture included in coal is discharged into the atmosphere and is not used effectively, so that the heat collection and moisture

In the coal gasification system of this embodiment shown in Fig. 1, coal 1 including moisture as fuel is dried by a dryer 40 of a type of direct contact with combustion exhaust gas 14 discharged from the gas turbine (not shown).
The coal 1 dried by the dryer 40 is fed to a gasifier 50 installed on the downstream side of the dryer 40, and the coal 1 is permitted to react with an oxidizing agent 2 such as oxygen fed to the gasifier 50 from the outside, and the gasifier 50 generates syngas having main components of carbon monoxide and hydrogen .
Here, the combustion exhaust gas 14 fed to the dryer 40 dries the coal 1, then becomes exhaust gas 14a discharged from the exit of the dryer 40, and is fed to the gasifier 50, though moisture 14d recovered by the dryer 40 is also fed from the dryer 40 to the gasifier .
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 18 Further, the dryer 40 dries the coal 1 and in the exhaust gas 14a discharged from the exit of the dryer
40, the moisture included in the coal 1 is included as steam 14c.
Therefore, the exhaust gas 14a including the steam
14c is led to the condensed heat exchanger 70 installed on the downstream side of the dryer 40 and is cooled, and part of the steam 14c in the exhaust gas 14a is condensed and is led to a water recovery tower 65 installed on the downstream side of the condensed heat exchanger 70 and is recovered.
Furthermore, the residual steam 14c in the exhaust gas 14a which was not condensed by the condensed heat exchanger 70 is led to the water recovery tower 65 together with the exhaust gas 14a and liquid water 10 fed from the outside is sprayed into the water recovery tower 65, and a large part of residual steam 14c in the exhaust gas 14a is condensed and is recovered by the water recovery tower 65 as liquid water 14b.

The shift reactor 55 permits carbon monoxide and steam 12 in the syngas 20 to perform the shift reaction (H2O + CO —» CO2 + H2) to convert them to carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Here, when the steam-carbon monoxide ratio in the syngas 20 is smaller than the value necessary to obtain the target carbon monoxide conversion ratio, on the entrance side of the shift reactor 55, the steam 12 is fed into the syngas 20 so that the steam-carbon monoxide ratio in the syngas 20 reaches the target value.
In the coal gasification system for generating power using coal including much moisture as fuel, the heat loss for drying coal is large, though according to the coal gasification system of this embodiment, the heat used for coal drying can be recovered as sensible
2014202252 03 Sep 2018
- 20 heat of the syngas in the gasifier or at the exit of the cooling tower.
Further, when adjusting the hydrogen/carbon monoxide ratio in the syngas in the coal gasification system, to realize the shift reaction of the syngas, though depending on the property of the shift reaction catalyst, a large quantity of industrial water on the same level as the mass of the carbon in the coal is necessary, while according to the coal gasification system of this embodiment, the moisture possessed by the coal can be given to the syngas, so that the industrial water becomes unnecessary and the running cost can be reduced extensively.
As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, a coal gasification system capable of adjusting the carbon-monoxide and hydrogen ratio in the syngas generated by the gasifier due to the shift reaction of the shift reaction unit and improving the plant efficiency can be realized.

And, the system is structured so that the steam 12 is also fed to the shift reactor 55 from the outside.

In the coal gasification system for generating power using coal including much moisture as fuel, the heat loss for drying coal is large, though according to the coal gasification system of this embodiment, the heat used for coal drying can be recovered as sensible heat of the syngas in the gasifier or at the exit of the cooling tower.

The syngas 16 after dust removal by the dust remover 53 removes halogen by the water washing tower 54 and is fed to the shift reactor 55. When the syngas 16 after dust removal passes through the water washing tower 54, the temperature of the syngas 16 is lowered, so that indirect heat exchange is performed between the syngas 16 of the exit gas of the water washing tower 54 and the syngas 16 after removed dust by the dust remover 53 at the heat exchanger 71, thus the heat loss is reduced.

- 50 fixed amount of coal, for example, as shown in Fig. 6, it is desirable to install two or more dryers for drying the coal 1 such as a dryer 40a and a dryer 40b in parallel.
The reason is that if the feed of the water 14b recovered from the combustion exhaust gas 14a of the gas turbine 62 by the water recovery tower 65 to the cooling tower 52 installed on the downstream side of the gasifier 50 is stopped, for the quantity, the feed of the steam 12 fed to the shift reactor 55 from the outside on the entrance side of the shift reactor 55 becomes necessary.
When as a dryer for drying the coal 1, two dryers of the dryer 40a and the dryer 40b are installed, while the combustion exhaust gas 14 passes through one side of the dryer 40a from the gas turbine 62, the feed of the combustion exhaust gas 14 to the other side of the dryer 40b from the gas turbine 62 is stopped, and the coal 1 in the other side of the dryer 40b is discharged to the coal feed system for feeding coal to the gaisifer 5 0.
When the coal discharge is finished, the other side of the dryer 40b is filled with the non-dried coal 1.
And, at the stage when the drying of the coal 1 by one side of the dryer 40a is completed, the feed of the

- 51 combustion exhaust gas 14 which is fed from the gas turbine 62 to the one side of the dryer 40a is stopped and is switched to the feed of the combustion exhaust gas 14 to the other side of the dryer 40b from the gas turbine 62.
And, after the feed destination of the combustion exhaust gas 14 discharged from the gas turbine 62 is switched from one side of the dryer 40a to the other side of the dryer 40b, the dried coal 1 in one side of the dryer 40a is discharged to the coal feed system for feeding coal to the gasfier 50.
In the coal gasification combined cycle system of this embodiment, coal containing much moisture classified to brown coal and peat is gasified, and syngas having main components of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is produced, and it can be applied to the coal gasification system for synthesizing chemical products such as methanol from the syngas and the coal gasification combined cycle system for generating power using the syngas as fuel by the gas turbine.
As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, a coal gasification combined cycle system capable of adjusting the carbon monoxide and hydrogen ratio in the syngas generated by the gasifier due to the shift reaction of the shift reaction unit and improving the
