- Zone for synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons (16) connects to the beginning of the gas duct (35) to the zone for methane synthesis (17), and further to the consumer in the form of synthesis gas (34).
- In a sealed enclosure formed between the walls of the heated cone (11) and its housing (32), the nozzle of the burner (12) is installed for heating of the cone (11) by burning gas-air mixture (11).
- Water boiler (23) with two casings, inner and outer, concentrically arranged one inside the other made in the form of annular heat exchange jackets with gas duct (35) between them, is equipped with: air intake pipe (28) with gas meter (29) and automatically controlled valve (30) with electric actuator; steam supply chamber (25), chamber for air heating and its mixing with steam (26), providing stream injection through steam lances (7) to the zone of primary gasification (9); steam injection lances (27) to the zone for synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons (16) and zone for synthesis of methane (31).
- Water boiler (23) has extra heat-sinking water terminals (24) installed in the gas duct (35), and hot water level sensors (31).
- For the purpose of thermal insulation of external surfaces, the gasification reactor is covered by insulating material Korund (33) in an one anticorrosion insulation layer, a second traditional insulating layer, where each 1 mm of the layer thickness substitutes for 50 mm of a traditional thermal insulation material. The inner surface of the zone of primary gasification is lined with thermal protection materials, providing heat resistance up to 1800°C.
- Gasification reactor operates as follows.
- Fuel for gasification is supplied using valve (1) into the fuel chamber and fills it up until the top fuel level sensor would trigger (3).
- Gear-motor drive (6) operates by the given algorithm is powering the upper agitating system (6), which moves fuel with its paddles from the valve (1) of the top cover (2) through the fuel combustion chamber (8), with the speed matching the fuel burning speed.
- When the fuel level drops to the bottom fuel level sensor (4), it would trigger, initiating filling in the fuel chamber, until the top-level fuel sensor (3) will trigger. The fuel passes through the drying and preheating zones to the zone of primary gasification (9), where a water-steam mixture is supplied through injection lances (7).
- In turn, the air required for the process of gasification is supplied through the air intake pipe (28) and hollow tube (37) of the upper agitating system. The amount of air is regulated by the gas meter (29), controlling the automatic valve with electric actuator (30).
- Through the air intake pipe (28), air enters the air heating chamber (26) and is mixed with steam from the steam chamber (25). In turn, the steam produced in the steam boiler (22) through steam injection lances (27) is supplied to steam chamber (25). Steam in the steam boiler (22) is formed from hot water generated in the water boiler (23) and regulated by hot water level sensor (31).
- Fuel is supplied into the zone of primary gasification (9), or otherwise the zone of primary combustion, where the steam-air mixture is used as oxidizing agent supplied from injection lances (7), and due to lack of oxygen, i.e. underoxidation of carbon fuel, an auto-thermal oxidation reaction between hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur proceeds at a temperature of not more than 1450°C allowing to reduce formation of nitrogen oxides, this chemical reaction is as follows:
C + 02 = CO2 +N2 + C↓; H2 +0.5 02 = H2O +N2; S + 02 = SO2 +N2.
- Due to the fact that the reaction takes place with lack of oxygen, not oxidized carbon resides as a carbon fuel in the regeneration zone (10) inside the heated cone (11).
- Regeneration zone (10) is located inside the heated cone (11) in order to provide additional heating of carbon residing from the fuel, heated by flue gases formed during the combustion of gas-air mixture obtained from surplus produced from excess of synthesis gas and combusted in the burner (12), installed in the enclosure between the wall of the housing (32) and the wall of the heated cone (11).
- Lower agitating and ash handling system (13), with gear-motor drive (19) and upper paddle agitator (14) agitates fuel carbon residing in the heated cone (11) in the regeneration zone (10), moving it to the heated walls of the cone (11) and at the same time contributing to removal of the produced ash through the grate (15) falling to the bottom of the steam boiler (20), where the paddles (18) remove it to the ash collector (20) and the ash removal device (21).
- Non-combustible gases produced in the primary gasification zone (9) are exhausted away and drafted through non-oxidized layer of carbon fuels in the regeneration zone (10), where they are recovered to the condition of combustible gases, CO, H2, trace amounts of CH4. In the regeneration zone (10) reaction takes place with heat absorption, causing the gas abruptly cooled to a temperature of 350 ÷ 500°C, instantly rushing past temperature of recovery of toxins.
- Further, the gases leaving the regeneration zone (10) are supplied to the zone of synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons (16), characterized by technological parameters, such as temperature of the gas at this section, gas speed, additional steam blast pressure where gas is abruptly losing speed decreasing to speed of colloidal movement of particles smaller than 50 micron as it gets in the zone of expansion. With the loss of speed the temperature of the gas is also falling, reaching a temperature of synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Lack of hydrogen required for the synthesis is supplied through steam lances (27) from the steam boiler (22) in the form of steam.
- From there the gas passes through the zone of methane synthesis (17), where its temperature reaches the temperature of methane and water steam formed in zone of synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons (16), in turn, contributing to supply of hydrogen for the reaction, while the gas cleared from mechanical impurities.
- Heat released in the methane synthesis reaction is extracted to the steam boiler (22), in which a part of the water heated to 90° from the water boiler (23) is supplied.
- Synthetic fuel gas (34) (hereafter "synthesis gas"), formed in a four-stage chemical reaction consists of a mixture of gases, such as CH4, CnHm, with small amounts of CO, CO2 and N2, where content of N2 does not exceed 41%, and the main component is methane; the synthesis gas has a calorific value of 2000 to 4000 kcal/Nm3.
- The resulting synthesis gas (34) is supplied out through the duct (35), giving the heat to the annular heat exchange jackets (23) and heat-sinking water terminals (24) to dramatically increase the surface area of heat transfer and, due to being inside a duct (35), reduce the dimensions of the gasification reactor. In the gas duct (35) the gas is cooled to a temperature at which condensation of tar and later served for purification of condensed tar water.
- Hot water obtained from annular heat exchange jackets of the water boiler (23) and heat-sinking water terminals (24) is distributed as follows: a part is supplied into the steam boiler, where is additionally heated to 114.7°C, and the most part is supplied to the consumer.
- The technical effect is to improve the calorific value of synthetic gas produced, without increasing the dimensions of the installation but by equipping the reactor with the following additions: bottom agitating system upper blade agitator installed in a truncated cone, fastened in the housing and hermetically sealed; heat-sinking water terminals located in the duct; zone for synthesis of unsaturated hydrocarbons located under the body of heated truncated cone and the zone for methane synthesis, located at the inlet of the gas duct of the water boiler, and installation of the burner nozzle in the sealed enclosure between the walls of a heated cone and its housing;
