Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gasification apparatus in which combustible matter, e.g. waste matter or coal, is gasified and subjected to melt combustion in a fluidized-bed furnace, and also pertains to a method of operating the gasification apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a gasification apparatus designed to prevent the formation of clinker at an incombustible matter discharge opening of a fluidized bed so that the incombustible matter discharge opening will not be clogged with clinker (or clogging of the incombustible matter discharge opening is prevented). The present invention also relates to a method of operating the gasification apparatus.
  • combustible matter e.g. waste matter or coal
  • the present invention relates to a gasification and melt combustion apparatus for gasifying combustible matter, e.g. waste matter or coal, in a fluidized-bed furnace and for burning the product gas produced by gasification to perform melt combustion in a melting furnace.
  • the gasification and melt combustion apparatus is arranged to prevent clogging of the incombustible matter discharge opening.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of operating the gasification and melt combustion apparatus.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of an example of conventional gasification apparatus, schematically showing an essential part thereof.
  • a fluidizing gas is supplied into a fluidized-bed furnace 1 through a fluidizing gas dispersing mechanism (fluidizing gas dispersing plate) 2 disposed in the furnace bottom.
  • the fluidizing gas comprises a central fluidizing gas 3 supplied into the furnace from the central portion of the furnace bottom as an upward stream and a peripheral fluidizing gas 4 supplied into the furnace from the peripheral portion of the furnace bottom as an upward stream.
  • the flow rate of the peripheral fluidizing gas 4 is set higher than the flow rate of the central fluidizing gas 3.
  • the amount of air supplied into the gasification furnace is set smaller than the amount of air necessary for combustion of combustible matter 5 to form a reducing atmosphere in the fluidized-bed furnace 1.
  • the mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas 3 is set lower than the mass fluidizing velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas 4. Consequently, a descending fluidized bed 7 in which a fluidized medium (generally, siliceous sand is used) settles and diffuses is formed in the central portion of the fluidized-bed furnace 1.
  • a fluidized medium generally, siliceous sand is used
  • an ascending fluidized bed 8 in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed in the peripheral portion of the fluidized-bed furnace 1.
  • the fluidized medium moves upward in the ascending fluidized bed 8 at the furnace peripheral portion, as shown by the arrow A, and moves downward in the descending fluidized bed 7.
  • the fluidized medium moves along the fluidizing gas dispersing plate 2 and flows into the lower part of the ascending fluidized bed 8.
  • a circulating flow of fluidized medium is formed, which circulates through the ascending fluidized bed 8 and the descending fluidized bed 7 in the direction shown by the arrows A and B.
  • Combustible matter 5 is supplied into the upper part of the descending fluidized bed 7 from a combustible matter supply opening 10. While moving downward through the descending fluidized bed 7, together with the fluidized medium, the combustible matter 5 is heated with the heat of the fluidized medium, and a volatile component in the combustible matter 5 is mainly gasified. Because the descending fluidized bed 7 contains a relatively small amount of oxygen, the product gas consisting essentially of the gasified volatile component does not burn, but passes through the descending fluidized bed 7 as shown by the arrow C. The product gas reaching a free board 11 moves upward as shown by the arrow D. Then, it is discharged as a product gas 12 from a gas outlet 13.
  • the char, tar, etc. are burned and partially oxidized by the peripheral fluidizing gas 4 containing a relatively large amount of oxygen.
  • the ascending fluidized bed 8 forms an oxidizing zone for the combustible matter 5.
  • the fluidized medium is heated to a high temperature by combustion in the ascending fluidized bed 8.
  • the fluidized medium heated to a high temperature is turned over by a deflector 6 as shown by the arrow A.
  • the fluidized medium shifts to the descending fluidized bed 7 and serves as a heat source for gasification again.
  • An incombustible matter discharge passage 9 is disposed below the ascending fluidized bed 8. Incombustible matter in the combustible matter, waste matter, coals, etc., is discharged from the incombustible matter discharge passage 9, together with the fluidized medium.
  • the fluidized medium includes a large amount of char differing from the conventional incinerator.
  • the incombustible matter is discharged from the furnace together with the fluidized medium, when the excess air ratio at the hearth of the fluidized-bed furnace 1 is extremely low, char is produced on the hearth. If the char burns with the oxygen contained in the fluidizing gas to produce a local high-temperature region, the fluidized medium fuses to form clinker.
  • combustible matter discharge passage 9 or near the entrance thereof combustible matter, e.g.
  • char contained in the fluidized medium as discharged, may burn with the oxygen contained in the fluidizing gas leaking from the ascending fluidized bed 8 and flowing into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 and with the heat of the fluidized medium.
  • the heat of combustion may fuse the fluidized medium (generally, siliceous sand) to form clinker.
  • the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 may be clogged with the clinker.
  • EP-A-1 058 051 relates to a fluidized-bed gasification furnace which can rapidly discharge incombustibles contained in a fuel, together with a fluidized medium.
  • the fluidized-bed gasification furnace utilizes a fluidized-bed reactor and comprises a discharge port provided in the vicinity of the floor in a fluidized bed for discharging a fluidized medium and connected to a fluidized medium discharge chutes extending downwardly, and a gas blow device provided below the chutes.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a gasification apparatus free from the formation of clinker in the incombustible matter discharge passage of the furnace, which would otherwise clog the incombustible matter discharge passage in the worst case, and also provide a method of operating the gasification apparatus.
  • the present invention provides a fuidizided bed gasification apparatus for gasifying combustible matter by casting it into a fluidized bed, as set forth in claim 1.
  • the present invention also provides a method of operating the fluidized bed gasification apparatus of claim 1, as set forth in claim 2.

  • Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view schematically showing an essential part of a gasification apparatus according to the present invention.
  • the gasification apparatus has an incombustible matter discharge passage 9 below an ascending fluidized bed 8.
  • the gasification apparatus is provided with a gas supply opening 14 for supplying a gas or steam into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 so that a gas can be supplied into or near the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 from the gas supply opening 14.
  • a gas is supplied into or near the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 from the gas supply opening 14 during the operation of the apparatus, whereby a locally staying fluidized medium is stirred by both the motion of the fluidized medium discharged together with incombustible matter when the latter is discharged, and the ascending action of the fluidized medium in the ascending fluidized bed 8.
  • combustible matter e.g. char, or heat, oxygen, or a combustible gas
  • a descending fluidized bed 7 in which a fluidized medium (generally, siliceous sand) heated to a high temperature settles and diffuses is formed in the central portion of the fluidized-bed furnace 1, and an ascending fluidized bed 8 in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed in the peripheral portion of the fluidized-bed furnace 1.
  • combustible matter 5 i.e. municipal waste, biomass waste, shredder dust, waste tires, waste plastics, medical waste, industrial waste, or coal, or mixture containing at least one of these wastes is cast into the upper part of the descending fluidized bed 7 from a combustible matter supply opening 10 and gasified.
  • the fluidized medium frequently fuses in a diagonally shaded area E in Fig. 3, i.e. in an area extending over from the inside of the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 to the entrance thereof, to form clinker.
  • This tendency particularly strong when the combustible matter is waste plastics, waste tires, shredder dust, coal or the like, which is high in calories.
  • the fluidized medium in the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 does not flow but simply descends slowly (i.e. descends slowly while maintaining the fluidized state), the heat of the heated fluidized medium is not sufficiently diffused. As a result, a region where the temperature becomes locally high occurs. In such a region, the fluidized medium or other incombustible matter fuses to form clinker.
  • a gas supply opening 14 is provided in the incombustible matter discharge passage 9, in the opening of the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 near the fluidizing gas dispersing plate 2, and a gas or steam 15 is supplied into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 from the gas supply opening 14, thereby stirring the fluidized medium staying in the vicinity of the incombustible matter discharge passage 9, and thus preventing the localized presence of oxygen and combustible matter, e.g. char, in the fluidized medium. Consequently, there is no heating of the fluidized medium by local combustion of combustible matter, and hence no clinker is formed.
  • the fluidizing gas is prevented from flowing into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 from the ascending fluidized bed 8 or the fluidizing gas dispersing plate 2. Consequently, the amount of oxygen contained in the above-described local region is reduced, or no oxygen is present in the local region. Thus, combustion of combustible matter, e.g. char, is prevented. Accordingly, there is no heating of the fluidized medium by the combustion of combustible matter, and hence no clinker is formed.
  • an inert gas or steam is supplied into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9.
  • the above-mentioned inert gas may be used as the fluidizing gas supplied to the descending fluidized bed 7 among the fluidizing gas supplied through the fluidizing gas dispersing plate 2 to enhance the fluidization of the descending fluidized bed 7, thereby stirring the fluidized medium in the descending fluidized bed 7 to eliminate the foregoing localized presence.
  • Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view schematically showing an essential part of another gasification apparatus,
  • This gasification apparatus which does not fall under the scope of the claims, has an incombustible matter discharge passage 9 below an ascending fluidized bed 8.
  • a stirring machine comprising an oscillator 16 and a vibrating part 17 is provided in the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 or between the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 and the fluidized bed so that it is possible to stir the fluidized medium moving from the fluidized bed into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9.
  • the vibrating part 17 is vibrated in the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 or near the entrance thereof by the oscillator 16 during the operation of the apparatus, thereby stirring the fluidized medium discharged into the incombustible matter discharge passage 9, together with incombustible matter.
  • the fluidized medium can be prevented from staying there. Consequently, it is possible to prevent combustible matter, e.g. char, or heat or oxygen from being locally present in the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 or near the entrance thereof, and hence possible to prevent the formation of clinker.
  • the stirring machine is not necessarily limited to the foregoing one. Any existing stirring machine can be used.
  • a water-cooled chute 25 is connected to the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 in the fluidized-bed furnace 1 of the gasification apparatus.
  • Incombustible matter containing a fluidized medium which is discharged from the incombustible matter discharge passage 9, is cooled in the water-cooled chute 25.
  • the incombustible matter drops into an incombustible matter discharger 26.
  • the incombustible matter is sent from the incombustible matter discharger 26 to a vibrating sieve 21 through swing valves 19 and 20 intermittently in fixed quantities.
  • the incombustible matter is separated into the fluidized medium and incombustible matter by the vibrating sieve 21.
  • the incombustible matter is discharged to the outside of the system through an incombustible matter chute 22.
  • the fluidized medium is sent to an elevator (not shown) through a fluidized medium chute 23 and then supplied into the fluidized-bed furnace 1 again to circulate.
  • a fluidizing gas is supplied from the bottom of the hearth. While it is being fluidized, the fluidized medium is heated by a burner (not shown) until the fluidized bed temperature reaches a predetermined temperature. When the fluidized bed temperature has reached the predetermined temperature, the incombustible matter discharger 26 and so forth are operated to begin the circulation of the fluidized medium. When the hearth temperature further rises to a predetermined temperature, casting of combustible matter 5, e.g. municipal refuse, into the fluidized bed is begun, and the fluidized medium temperature is checked (measured) with a thermometer 24 provided on the water-cooled chute 25.

  • the density of the fluidized medium in the incombustible matter discharge chute 76 varies such that the fluidized medium is "sparse" in the upper part 76a and “dense” in the lower part 76b. Accordingly, the leak Q1 of fluidizing gas passing through the upper part 76a, where the fluidized medium is "sparse", is larger than the leak Q2 of fluidizing gas passing through the lower part 76b (Q1>Q2).

Accordingly, the amount of oxygen is reduced, or no oxygen is present in the incombustible matter discharge passage. This prevents the combustion of combustible matter, e.g. char, flowing into the incombustible matter discharge passage. As a result, the formation of clinker due to heating of the fluidized medium is prevented, and there is no likelihood that the incombustible matter discharge passage may be clogged. Thus, the passing performance of the incombustible matter discharge passage in the gasification furnace can be maintained favorably. Accordingly, a gasification and melt combustion apparatus having the gasification furnace according to the present invention can favorably maintain the operation of the gasification furnace. Hence, the application of the present invention allows the operation of the whole gasification and melt combustion apparatus to be maintained even more favorably.
  • the incombustible matter discharge chute can be disposed to extend vertically to the lower part of the incombustible matter discharge passage. Therefore, the fluidized medium is uniformly filled into the incombustible matter discharge chute disposed vertically. Accordingly, the seal action of the fluidized medium is exhibited even more effectively. Thus, leakage of the fluidizing gas can be satisfactorily blocked with a short incombustible matter discharge chute.
  • a circulating flow is formed by an ascending fluidized bed and a descending fluidized bed.

Therefore, the position of the incombustible matter discharge passage and the direction of the circulating flow are not necessarily limited to those in the foregoing embodiments, as a matter of course. That is, regarding the position of the incombustible matter discharge passage, the incombustible matter discharge passage 9 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 may be located in the center of the furnace, i.e. the central discharge type.
  • the incombustible matter discharge passage may also be of the one-side discharge type in which only a half of the incombustible matter discharge passage shown in Fig. 2 (i.e. either of the left and right halves divided by a line of mirror symmetry) is installed.
  • the direction of the circulating flow should preferably be considered in relation to the discharge position (i.e. the capability of discharging incombustible matter).
  • the direction of the circulating flow may be selected as desired, e.g. counterclockwise turning or clockwise turning. In such a case, it is also possible to use the technical idea of the present invention for ensuring the incombustible matter discharging capability required for the incombustible matter discharge passage as in the case of the foregoing embodiments, as a matter of course.
