Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for obtaining synthesis gas either from the solid fuels derived from urban solid waste, or from industrial solid waste.
  • the solid fuels derived from the urban solid waste are the lightest, combustible fraction of the urban solid waste, i.e., they are constituted by plastics, paper, wood, and textile materials (with the possible presence of organic matter). said fuels have a net heat value comprised within the range of from 10450 kJ/kg to 18850 kJ/kg (2,500 to 4,500 kcal/kg), according to the separation degree, as well as to their moisture content.
  • a general scheme of the process for producing said RDF comprises the following operations:
  • RDF The use of said RDF is for being burnt in boilers, and, above all, in cement factories.
  • the present Applicant has found now that said RDF or said solid industrial waste can be gasified under suitable conditions, in order to obtain synthesis gas.
  • the present invention therefore, provides a process for gassifying the combustible fraction of municipal- or industrial solid waste to produce synthesis gas by gassification with a pressurized oxygen-containing gas at a minimum temperature of 1000°C, characterized by comprising the steps of:
  • the exhausted tyres can be mentioned in particular; anyway, also other types of industrial waste can be selected.
  • the preferred range if of from 1,5 MPa to 5 MPa (15 to 50 abs.atm) in case RDF are used, and of from 0,1 MPa to 5 MPa (1 to 50 abs.atm) in case industrial solid waste is used.
  • the temperature of the gasifier is defined both as a function of the moisture content of RDF or of the industrial waste, and of their heat value, and as a function of the amount and of the temperature of the oxygen fed to the process.
  • Oxygen, before being fed to the gasifier, can be pre-heated at a temperature equal to, or higher than, the temperature-of the same gasifier.
  • Said oxygen can be produced, e.g., in an air fractionating facility, or in an equivalent facility.
  • a portion of the synthesis gas obtained (such as, e.g., about 10%), in order to have the necessary power for managing said air fractionating facility, or an equivalent facility, can be advantageous.
  • the treatment of the gas leaving the gasifier in order to remove the acidic gases can be carried out, e.g., by means of a washing step with sodium hydroxide.
  • cooling the gas leaving the gasifier before such a treatment is carried out can be advantageous.
  • a solid fuel derived from urban solid waste (RDF) was used, which had a net heat value of 16330 kJ/kg (3,900 kcal/kg), and contained 22.4% of moisture.
  • the gasification was carried out in a gasifier as adiabatic as possible, with 104 kg/hour of RDF and 48 kg/hour of essentially pure oxygen being co-currently fed to the process, under the following conditions:
  • 163 Nm3/hour of synthesis gas was obtained, which had a net heat value of 12430 kJ/Nm3 (2,969 kcal/Nm3), as referred to dry gas.
  • a stream of 17 Nm3/hour was diverted from the produced stream of 163 Nm3/hour of gas in order to generate the necessary electric power for operating the air fractionating facility.
  • the gasification was carried out in a gasifier as adiabatic as possible, with 102 kg/hour of exhausted tyres and 69 kg/hour of essentially pure oxygen being co-currently fed to the process, under the following conditions:
  • a stream of 25 Nm3/hour was diverted from the produced stream of 195 Nm3/hour of gas in order to generate the necessary electric power for the operations of the air fractionating facility.
  • a solid fuel deriving from urban solid waste (RDF) was used, which had a net heat value of 16540 kJ/kg (3,950 kcal/kg), and contained 7% of moisture.
  • the gasification was carried out in a gasifier as adiabatic as possible, with 127 kg/hour of RDF and 47 kg/hour of essentially pure oxygen being co-currently fed to the process, under the following conditions:
  • a stream of 19 Nm3/hour was diverted from the produced stream of 162 Nm3/hour of gas in order to generate the necessary electric power for operating the air fractionating facility.
