Description

本発明は、流動粒子を流動化させた流動層において廃棄物を加熱することによって当該廃棄物から可燃性ガスを取り出す流動床式ガス化炉内に前記流動粒子を供給する流動粒子供給装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a fluidized particle supply apparatus that supplies fluidized particles into a fluidized bed gasification furnace that extracts combustible gas from the waste by heating the waste in a fluidized bed in which fluidized particles are fluidized.

従来から特許文献1に開示されるガス化システムが知られている。このガス化システムでは、図3に示されるように、流動床式ガス化炉100から不燃物等と共に排出された流動粒子が、流動床式ガス化炉100内に戻されることにより、循環使用されている。具体的には、以下の通りである。   Conventionally, a gasification system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. In this gasification system, as shown in FIG. 3, the fluidized particles discharged together with incombustibles from the fluidized bed gasification furnace 100 are returned to the fluidized bed gasification furnace 100 to be circulated. ing. Specifically, it is as follows.

流動床式ガス化炉100は、炉内部に流動粒子(例えば硅砂等)を有し、この流動粒子を流動化させた流動層102において廃棄物を加熱することによって当該廃棄物から可燃性ガス(熱分解ガス)を取り出す。この流動床式ガス化炉100では、可燃性ガスが取り出された後の廃棄物や不燃物等が流動粒子と共に炉外に排出される。この不燃物等と共に炉外に排出された流動粒子は、分離装置104において前記不燃物等と分離された後、流動粒子循環用エレベータ106等によって炉内に戻され、再度、流動層102を構成する。   The fluidized bed gasification furnace 100 has fluidized particles (for example, cinnabar sand) inside the furnace, and heats the waste in the fluidized bed 102 in which the fluidized particles are fluidized, thereby combustible gas ( Remove pyrolysis gas). In the fluidized bed gasification furnace 100, wastes, incombustibles and the like after the combustible gas is taken out are discharged out of the furnace together with the fluidized particles. The fluidized particles discharged to the outside of the furnace together with the incombustibles and the like are separated from the incombustibles and the like in the separation device 104 and then returned to the furnace by the fluidized particle circulation elevator 106 and the like to constitute the fluidized bed 102 again. To do.

ここで、流動床式ガス化炉100では、炉内で可燃性ガスを生成しているため、炉外部からの不要な空気(燃焼制御のために炉内に積極的に供給される空気以外の空気)が炉内に流入するのを防ぐ必要がある。前記の流動床式ガス化炉100では、不燃物等と共に排出された流動粒子が、再度、炉内に戻される(投入される)部位に流動粒子投入弁108が設けられ、この流動粒子投入弁108を閉じることによって前記不要な空気が炉内に流入するのを防いでいる。   Here, in the fluidized bed gasification furnace 100, since combustible gas is generated in the furnace, unnecessary air from outside the furnace (other than air that is actively supplied into the furnace for combustion control). It is necessary to prevent air) from entering the furnace. In the fluidized bed gasification furnace 100, the fluidized particle injection valve 108 is provided at a site where the fluidized particles discharged together with incombustibles and the like are returned (input) into the furnace again. By closing 108, the unnecessary air is prevented from flowing into the furnace.

しかし、上記の流動床式ガス化炉100では、排出された流動粒子を炉内に戻す際に流動粒子投入弁108を開いて流動粒子を投入するため、このときに、流動粒子と共に外部からの空気が炉内に流入する場合がある。   However, in the above fluidized bed gasification furnace 100, when returning the discharged fluidized particles into the furnace, the fluidized particle introduction valve 108 is opened to introduce fluidized particles. Air may flow into the furnace.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑み、流動床式ガス化炉内への流動粒子の投入時においても流動粒子の投入部位から炉内に外部の空気が流入するのを防ぐことができる流動床式ガス化炉への流動粒子供給装置を提供することを課題とする。   Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a fluidized bed that can prevent external air from flowing into the furnace from the fluidized particle charging site even when the fluidized particles are charged into the fluidized bed gasification furnace. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluidized particle supply apparatus for a gasification furnace.

上記課題を解消すべく、本発明は、流動床式ガス化炉に設けられた粒子投入部から当該流動床式ガス化炉内に流動粒子を供給する流動粒子供給装置であって、前記流動粒子を受け入れるための開口部を有して当該開口部から水平方向に離れた位置の前記粒子投入部まで延びる筒状の周壁を備えたコンベアケーシングと、前記コンベアケーシングの内部に回転可能に収容され、その回転によって前記開口部から当該コンベアケーシング内に供給された流動粒子を前記粒子投入部まで搬送可能なスクリュー軸と、前記開口部の上側に配置され、その内部に前記流動粒子が充填可能であると共にその充填された流動粒子を前記コンベアケーシング内の流動粒子上に積み上げるように当該コンベアケーシング内に前記開口部から供給する流動粒子貯留部と、を備える。そして、前記コンベアケーシングは、前記粒子投入部側が前記開口部側よりも上方位置となるように傾斜している。   In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fluidized particle supply device for supplying fluidized particles into a fluidized bed type gasification furnace from a particle input unit provided in the fluidized bed type gasification furnace, wherein the fluidized particle A conveyor casing having a cylindrical peripheral wall extending to the particle input portion at a position horizontally separated from the opening, and is rotatably accommodated inside the conveyor casing. A screw shaft capable of conveying the fluidized particles supplied from the opening to the conveyor casing by the rotation to the particle charging unit and the upper side of the opening can be filled with the fluidized particles. In addition, the fluidized particle reservoir for supplying the filled fluidized particles to the conveyor casing from the opening so as to be stacked on the fluidized particles in the conveyor casing. And, equipped with a. And the said conveyor casing inclines so that the said particle insertion part side may become an upper position rather than the said opening part side.

かかる構成によれば、流動粒子貯留部内及びコンベアケーシング内の流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして機能することにより、流動床式ガス化炉内への流動粒子の投入時においても、外部の空気が当該流動粒子供給装置を通じて粒子投入部から流動床式ガス化炉内に流入するのを防ぐことができる。具体的には、流動粒子貯留部内に流動粒子が充填されると、当該流動粒子貯留部が前記充填された流動粒子を開口部を通じてコンベアケーシング内の流動粒子上に積み上げるように供給することによって、少なくとも開口部周辺のコンベアケーシング内が流動粒子に満たされ且つ上側に積み上げられた流動粒子貯留部内の流動粒子の重みによって密集した状態となると共に、流動粒子貯留部の底部においても上側の流動粒子の重みによって流動粒子が密集した状態となることにより、流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして働き、流動粒子貯留部からコンベアケーシング内を通じて粒子投入部へ向かう空気の流れが妨げられる。しかも、スクリュー軸の回転によって流動粒子がコンベアケーシング内を粒子投入部に向けて搬送されるときにも、コンベアケーシングの傾斜によって流動粒子に開口部側に向けて力が働くため、コンベアケーシングの少なくとも前記開口部周辺での流動粒子の密集状態が維持されてマテリアルシールとしての機能が維持される。これにより、粒子投入部から流動床式ガス化炉内に流動粒子を供給しつつ、外部の空気が当該流動粒子供給装置を通じて粒子投入部から流動床式ガス化炉内に流入するのを防ぐことができる。   According to such a configuration, the fluid particles in the fluid particle storage unit and the conveyor casing function as a material seal, so that even when fluid particles are introduced into the fluidized bed gasification furnace, the external air remains in the fluid particles. It is possible to prevent the particles from flowing into the fluidized bed gasifier through the supply device. Specifically, when the fluidized particle reservoir is filled with fluidized particles, the fluidized particle reservoir is supplied so as to be stacked on the fluidized particles in the conveyor casing through the opening. At least the inside of the conveyor casing in the vicinity of the opening is filled with fluid particles and becomes dense due to the weight of fluid particles in the fluid particle reservoir stacked on the upper side, and at the bottom of the fluid particle reservoir, When the flowing particles are in a dense state due to the weight, the flowing particles function as a material seal, and the flow of air from the flowing particle storage unit to the particle input unit through the conveyor casing is prevented. Moreover, even when the fluidized particles are transported toward the particle input portion in the conveyor casing by the rotation of the screw shaft, the force acts on the fluidized particles toward the opening due to the inclination of the conveyor casing. The dense state of the fluidized particles around the opening is maintained, and the function as a material seal is maintained. As a result, while supplying fluidized particles into the fluidized bed gasification furnace from the particle charging unit, it is possible to prevent external air from flowing into the fluidized bed gasification furnace through the fluidized particle supply device. Can do.

本発明に係る流動粒子供給装置においては、前記スクリュー軸を回転駆動する駆動部と、前記駆動部を制御する制御部と、を備え、前記流動粒子貯留部は、内部に貯留された流動粒子の上端位置を検出可能なレベル計を有し、前記制御部は、前記レベル計によって検出される前記流動粒子の上端位置が所定の高さ位置より低くなると前記駆動部を停止させることが好ましい。   In the fluidized particle supply apparatus according to the present invention, the fluidized particle supply device includes a drive unit that rotationally drives the screw shaft, and a control unit that controls the drive unit, and the fluidized particle storage unit is configured to store the fluidized particles stored therein. Preferably, the control unit has a level meter capable of detecting an upper end position, and the control unit stops the driving unit when the upper end position of the flowing particles detected by the level meter becomes lower than a predetermined height position.

かかる構成によれば、レベル計によって流動粒子貯留部に貯留された流動粒子が少なくなった(流動粒子の上端位置が所定の高さ位置よりも低くなった)のを検出して制御部がスクリューコンベアを停止させることにより、流動粒子貯留部内及びコンベアケーシング内の流動粒子の減少によって当該流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして機能しなくなる前に流動床式ガス化炉内への流動粒子の供給を自動的に停止させることができる。   According to such a configuration, the control unit detects that the number of fluidized particles stored in the fluidized particle reservoir is reduced (the upper end position of the fluidized particles is lower than the predetermined height position) by the level meter, and the control unit By stopping the conveyor, the supply of fluidized particles into the fluidized bed gasifier is automatically performed before the fluidized particles in the fluidized particle storage unit and the conveyor casing are reduced so that the fluidized particles do not function as a material seal. Can be stopped.

以上より、本発明によれば、流動床式ガス化炉内への流動粒子の投入時においても流動粒子の投入部位から炉内に外部の空気が流入するのを防ぐことができる流動床式ガス化炉への流動粒子供給装置を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the fluidized bed gas that can prevent external air from flowing into the furnace from the fluidized particle injection portion even when the fluidized particles are charged into the fluidized bed gasification furnace. An apparatus for supplying fluidized particles to a chemical furnace can be provided.

In the lower part of the furnace body 12, there is provided a discharge part 15 for discharging a mixture of waste particles and the like after the fluidized particles, incombustibles and combustible gas are taken out. An exhaust unit 16 for discharging the generated combustible gas is provided. In addition, a particle input unit 17 for supplying fluidized particles from above the fluidized bed 18 is provided at an intermediate portion in the height direction of the furnace body 12.

尚、流動粒子は、炉本体12の内部において流動層18を構成し、廃棄物を加熱するための粒子である。即ち、廃棄物の一部の燃焼により加熱されて高温になった流動粒子が廃棄物と混合されることにより、廃棄物がガス化されて可燃性ガスが発生する。本実施形態では、流動粒子として例えば珪砂が用いられる。より具体的には、流動粒子として、例えば、硅砂4号又は硅砂5号が用いられる。   The fluidized particles are particles for forming the fluidized bed 18 inside the furnace body 12 and heating the waste. That is, when the fluidized particles heated to a high temperature by the combustion of a part of the waste are mixed with the waste, the waste is gasified and combustible gas is generated. In the present embodiment, for example, silica sand is used as the fluidized particles. More specifically, for example, cinnabar No. 4 or cinnabar No. 5 is used as the fluidized particles.

The fluidized particles separated from the mixture by the incombustible material discharging device 21 are conveyed to the fluidized particle circulation elevator 22 by the fluidized particle conveyor 24, and the incombustible materials separated from the mixture by the incombustible material discharging device 21 are incombustible. The product is conveyed to the incombustible material yard 26 by the material conveyor 25.

流動粒子循環用エレベータ22は、不燃物排出装置21によって分離された流動粒子を、炉本体12の粒子投入部17よりも上方位置まで搬送する。流動粒子循環用エレベータ22は、第1ダンパー22a及び第2ダンパー22bを切り換えることによって前記上方位置まで搬送した流動粒子を、流動粒子供給装置40、流動粒子貯留槽23、又は、不燃物ヤード26に供給する。具体的には、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22は、通常、流動粒子供給装置40に流動粒子を供給する。そして、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22は、流動粒子供給装置40における流動粒子の貯留部位に貯留された流動粒子が所定の量に達すると、第1ダンパー22a及び第2ダンパー22bの少なくとも一方を切り換えることによって流動粒子の供給先を流動粒子貯留槽23又は不燃物ヤード26に切り換える。そして、前記貯留部位に貯留された流動粒子が前記所定の量よりも減少すると、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22は、第1ダンバー22aを切り換えることによって流動粒子の供給先を流動粒子供給装置40に切り換える。   The fluid particle circulating elevator 22 conveys the fluid particles separated by the incombustible discharge device 21 to a position above the particle input unit 17 of the furnace body 12. The fluid particle circulation elevator 22 switches the fluid particles transported to the upper position by switching the first damper 22a and the second damper 22b to the fluid particle supply device 40, the fluid particle storage tank 23, or the incombustible material yard 26. Supply. Specifically, the fluid particle circulating elevator 22 normally supplies fluid particles to the fluid particle supply device 40. Then, the fluid particle circulating elevator 22 switches at least one of the first damper 22a and the second damper 22b when the fluid particles stored in the fluid particle storage part of the fluid particle supply device 40 reaches a predetermined amount. Thus, the supply destination of the fluidized particles is switched to the fluidized particle storage tank 23 or the incombustible material yard 26. Then, when the fluidized particles stored in the storage region are reduced from the predetermined amount, the fluidized particle circulating elevator 22 switches the fluid particle supply destination to the fluidized particle supply device 40 by switching the first damper 22a. .

尚、ガス化炉11において流動粒子が使用され続けると不燃物等の付着によって流動粒子の粒径が大きくなって流動層18における通気性等が変化するため、粒径が所定の値よりも大きくなった流動粒子は、不燃物排出装置21において篩い分けられ、不燃物ヤード26に供給される。   If the fluidized particles continue to be used in the gasification furnace 11, the particle size of the fluidized particles increases due to adhesion of incombustibles and the like, and the air permeability in the fluidized bed 18 changes, so the particle size is larger than a predetermined value. The formed fluid particles are sieved in the incombustible material discharge device 21 and supplied to the incombustible material yard 26.

流動粒子貯留槽23は、所定の量の流動粒子を貯留しておき、炉本体12の立ち上げ時や炉本体12と流動粒子循環部20との間で循環する流動粒子の量が大幅に減少したときや、炉本体12内の流動粒子の量を増加させるときに、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22に流動粒子を供給する。   The fluidized particle storage tank 23 stores a predetermined amount of fluidized particles, and the amount of fluidized particles circulating when the furnace body 12 is started up or between the furnace body 12 and the fluidized particle circulating unit 20 is greatly reduced. When the amount of fluidized particles in the furnace body 12 is increased, fluidized particles are supplied to the fluidized particle circulation elevator 22.

ガス処理部30は、ガス改質炉31と、ガス冷却機32と、バグフィルター33と、誘引ファン34と、有し、ガス化炉11から排出された熱分解ガス(可燃性ガスを含むガス)の改質処理を行う。   The gas processing unit 30 includes a gas reforming furnace 31, a gas cooler 32, a bag filter 33, an induction fan 34, and a pyrolysis gas (a gas containing a combustible gas) discharged from the gasification furnace 11. ) Reforming treatment is performed.

ガス改質炉31は、ガス化炉11から排出された熱分解ガスを改質(クラッキング)して熱分解ガスに含まれるタール等を分解し、燃料ガスや原料ガスとして再利用できる性状(可燃性ガス)とする。ガス冷却機32は、ガス改質炉31において改質された可燃性ガスを冷却する。バグフィルター33は、冷却後の可燃性ガスから粉塵やばいじん等を除去する。誘引ファン34は、ガス化炉11において生成された熱分解ガスをガス処理部30に誘引する。この誘引ファン34によってガス化炉11(炉本体12)内から熱分解ガスが誘引されることにより、ガス化炉11内の圧力が大気圧以下となる。   The gas reforming furnace 31 reforms (cracks) the pyrolysis gas discharged from the gasification furnace 11 to decompose tar and the like contained in the pyrolysis gas and can be reused as fuel gas or raw material gas (combustible) Gas). The gas cooler 32 cools the combustible gas reformed in the gas reforming furnace 31. The bag filter 33 removes dust, dust and the like from the combustible gas after cooling. The induction fan 34 attracts the pyrolysis gas generated in the gasification furnace 11 to the gas processing unit 30. As the pyrolysis gas is attracted from the gasification furnace 11 (furnace main body 12) by the induction fan 34, the pressure in the gasification furnace 11 becomes atmospheric pressure or less.

以上のガス処理部30において改質処理された可燃性ガスは、後段のガスタービンやガスボイラ等に燃料として供給される。   The combustible gas subjected to the reforming process in the gas processing unit 30 is supplied as a fuel to a subsequent gas turbine, a gas boiler, or the like.

次に、流動粒子供給装置40について図2も参照しつつ説明する。   Next, the fluidized particle supply device 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

流動粒子供給装置40は、流動粒子貯留部42と、流動粒子搬送部44と、制御部46と、を備える。   The fluid particle supply device 40 includes a fluid particle storage unit 42, a fluid particle transport unit 44, and a control unit 46.

流動粒子貯留部42は、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22から供給された流動粒子を貯留すると共に、貯留した流動粒子を流動粒子搬送部44に供給する。この流動粒子貯留部42は、貯留部本体421と、貯留部本体421と流動粒子搬送部44とを接続する接続部422と、貯留部本体421の上部に設けられ、貯留部本体421内に流動粒子を投入可能な投入部423と、貯留部本体421に取り付けられる複数(本実施形態では4つ)のレベル計424a、424b、424c、424dと、を備える。   The fluidized particle storage unit 42 stores the fluidized particles supplied from the fluidized particle circulation elevator 22 and supplies the stored fluidized particles to the fluidized particle transport unit 44. The fluidized particle reservoir 42 is provided on the reservoir main body 421, the connection part 422 connecting the reservoir main body 421 and the fluidized particle transport unit 44, and the upper part of the reservoir main body 421, and flows into the reservoir main body 421. A charging unit 423 capable of charging particles and a plurality (four in this embodiment) of level meters 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d attached to the storage unit main body 421 are provided.

貯留部本体421は、上下に延びる中空の柱状であり、内部に流動粒子を貯留する。   The reservoir main body 421 has a hollow column shape extending vertically, and stores fluid particles therein.

接続部422は、貯留部本体421の内部と流動粒子搬送部44におけるスクリューコンベア441の内部とが連通するように、貯留部本体421の下端部とスクリューコンベア441とを接続する。   The connection part 422 connects the lower end part of the storage part main body 421 and the screw conveyor 441 so that the inside of the storage part main body 421 communicates with the inside of the screw conveyor 441 in the fluidized particle transport part 44.

各レベル計424a、424b、424c、424dは、貯留部本体421内に貯留された流動粒子の上端位置(貯留された流動粒子とその上方の空間との境界面の高さ位置)を、接触又は非接触で検出する。このようなレベル計としては、例えば、静電容量式レベル計、パドル式レベル計、レーザー式レベル計等が用いられる。   Each level meter 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d is in contact with the upper end position (the height position of the boundary surface between the stored flow particle and the space above it) of the flow particle stored in the storage unit main body 421. Detect without contact. As such a level meter, for example, a capacitance type level meter, a paddle type level meter, a laser type level meter or the like is used.

そして、各レベル計424a、424b、424c、424dは、前記上端位置を検出すると検出信号を出力する。本実施形態では、4つのレベル計(第1レベル計424a、第2レベル計424b、第3レベル計424c、及び第4レベル計424d)が貯留部本体421に取り付けられている。具体的に、4つのレベル計424a、424b、424c、424dは、上下方向に間隔をおいて一列に配置されている。   Each level meter 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d outputs a detection signal when it detects the upper end position. In the present embodiment, four level meters (a first level meter 424a, a second level meter 424b, a third level meter 424c, and a fourth level meter 424d) are attached to the storage unit main body 421. Specifically, the four level meters 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d are arranged in a line at intervals in the vertical direction.

尚、本実施形態のレベル計424a、424b、424c、424dは、水平面方向(同一高さ位置)において、1つだけ設けられているが、これに限定されない。即ち、レベル計は、水平面方向(同一高さ位置)において、複数設けられてもよい。これにより、貯留部本体421内での流動粒子の偏りによるレベル計の誤検知を防ぐことができる。特に、下段(貯留部本体421の下部)には、同じ高さ位置(本実形態では、例えば、レベル計424a、424bの高さ位置)に複数のレベル計が設けられることが好ましい。かかる構成によれば、レベル計の誤検知が効果的に防止される。   In addition, although only one level meter 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d of this embodiment is provided in the horizontal plane direction (same height position), it is not limited to this. That is, a plurality of level meters may be provided in the horizontal plane direction (same height position). Thereby, the misdetection of the level meter due to the deviation of the flowing particles in the reservoir main body 421 can be prevented. In particular, it is preferable that a plurality of level meters are provided at the same height position (in this embodiment, for example, the height positions of the level meters 424a and 424b) in the lower stage (lower part of the storage unit main body 421). According to such a configuration, erroneous detection of the level meter is effectively prevented.

流動粒子搬送部44は、スクリューコンベア441と、このスクリューコンベア441を駆動する駆動部442と、を有する。   The fluidized particle transport unit 44 includes a screw conveyor 441 and a drive unit 442 that drives the screw conveyor 441.

スクリューコンベア441は、コンベアケーシング443と、コンベアケーシング443の内部に収容されるスクリュー軸444と、支持部448と、を有する。   The screw conveyor 441 includes a conveyor casing 443, a screw shaft 444 accommodated inside the conveyor casing 443, and a support portion 448.

コンベアケーシング443は、ケーシング本体445と、点検口部446と、流動粒子排出部447と、を有する。   The conveyor casing 443 includes a casing main body 445, an inspection port portion 446, and a fluid particle discharge portion 447.

ケーシング本体445は円筒状の周壁を有し、この周壁の両端は閉塞されている。ケーシング本体445の一方の端部(図2における左側の端部)の上端部に設けられた開口部445aに流動粒子貯留部42の接続部422が接続されている。これにより、貯留部本体421の内部とケーシング本体445の内部とが接続部422を通じて連通する。   The casing body 445 has a cylindrical peripheral wall, and both ends of the peripheral wall are closed. A connection part 422 of the fluid particle storage part 42 is connected to an opening part 445 a provided at the upper end part of one end part (left end part in FIG. 2) of the casing body 445. As a result, the inside of the storage unit main body 421 and the inside of the casing main body 445 communicate with each other through the connection unit 422.

点検口部446は、ケーシング本体445の他方の端部(前記一方の端部と反対側の端部:図2における右側の端部)の上端部に設けられる開口部である。この点検口部446には、蓋446aが取り付けられている。この蓋446aを取り外すことにより、点検口部446からケーシング本体445の内部を点検することができる。   The inspection port 446 is an opening provided at the upper end of the other end of the casing body 445 (the end opposite to the one end: the right end in FIG. 2). A lid 446 a is attached to the inspection port portion 446. By removing the lid 446a, the inside of the casing body 445 can be inspected from the inspection port portion 446.

流動粒子排出部447は、ケーシング本体445内の流動粒子を炉本体12の粒子投入部17内に排出する。具体的に、流動粒子排出部447は、ケーシング本体445の前記他方の端部の下端部と炉本体12の粒子投入部17とを接続し、ケーシング本体445の内部と炉本体12の内部とを連通する。この流動粒子排出部447は、気密状態で粒子投入部17と接続される。これにより、流動粒子貯留部42の内部からケーシング本体445の内部と流動粒子排出部447の内部とを通じて粒子投入部17内までが気密状態で連通する。   The fluidized particle discharge unit 447 discharges the fluidized particles in the casing body 445 into the particle input unit 17 of the furnace body 12. Specifically, the fluidized particle discharger 447 connects the lower end of the other end of the casing body 445 and the particle charging part 17 of the furnace body 12, and connects the interior of the casing body 445 and the interior of the furnace body 12. Communicate. The fluid particle discharge unit 447 is connected to the particle input unit 17 in an airtight state. Thereby, the inside of the fluid particle storage part 42 communicates with the inside of the casing main body 445 and the inside of the fluid particle discharge part 447 in an airtight state through the inside of the fluid particle discharge part 447.

支持部448は、流動粒子排出部447側(粒子投入部17側)の端部が流動粒子貯留部42の接続部422側の端部よりも上方位置になるように傾斜した姿勢でケーシング本体445を支持する。具体的には、支持部448は、ケーシング本体445の中心軸が水平に対して例えば15°となるようにケーシング本体445を支持する。尚、水平に対するケーシング本体445の中心軸の角度は、10°〜45°が好ましい。このように、前記中心軸の角度が10°〜45°の場合は、ケーシング本体445内における流動粒子の圧密によるマテリアルシール効果に大きな差異がない。一方、前記中心軸の角度が10°未満の場合は、ケーシング本体445内において流動粒子の圧密によるマテリアルシール効果が小さくなり、ケーシング本体445内を空気が流れる。   The support body 448 is inclined in such a manner that the end on the fluid particle discharge part 447 side (particle input part 17 side) is positioned higher than the end on the connection part 422 side of the fluid particle storage part 42. Support. Specifically, the support portion 448 supports the casing body 445 so that the central axis of the casing body 445 is, for example, 15 ° with respect to the horizontal. The angle of the central axis of the casing body 445 with respect to the horizontal is preferably 10 ° to 45 °. Thus, when the angle of the central axis is 10 ° to 45 °, there is no significant difference in the material seal effect due to the compaction of the fluid particles in the casing body 445. On the other hand, when the angle of the central axis is less than 10 °, the material sealing effect due to the compaction of the fluidized particles in the casing body 445 is reduced, and air flows in the casing body 445.

スクリュー軸444は、ケーシング本体445と同じ方向に延びる軸本体444aと、軸本体444aの周面に設けられるスクリュー(螺旋状の)羽根444bとを有し、ケーシング本体445の内部において軸本体444aの中心軸周りに回転可能に収容される。   The screw shaft 444 includes a shaft main body 444 a extending in the same direction as the casing main body 445, and screw (spiral) blades 444 b provided on the peripheral surface of the shaft main body 444 a, and the inside of the casing main body 445 includes the shaft main body 444 a. It is accommodated so as to be rotatable around the central axis.

駆動部442は、ケーシング本体445内に収容されているスクリュー軸444(軸本体444a)に接続され、制御部46からの指示信号に基づいてスクリュー軸444を回転駆動する。このように、駆動部442によってスクリュー軸444が回転させられることによって、流動粒子貯留部42側の端部から流動粒子排出部447側の端部に向けて流動粒子がケーシング本体445の内部を搬送される。   The drive unit 442 is connected to a screw shaft 444 (shaft body 444a) housed in the casing body 445, and rotationally drives the screw shaft 444 based on an instruction signal from the control unit 46. In this way, when the screw shaft 444 is rotated by the drive unit 442, the fluidized particles are conveyed through the inside of the casing main body 445 from the end on the fluidized particle storage unit 42 side toward the end on the fluidized particle discharge unit 447 side. Is done.

制御部46は、各レベル計424a、424b、424c、424dと駆動部442とに接続され、各レベル計424a、424b、424c、424dからの検出信号に基づいて駆動部442、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22、及び廃棄物供給部13等に指示信号を出力する。具体的には、以下の通りである。   The control unit 46 is connected to the level meters 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d and the drive unit 442, and based on the detection signals from the level meters 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d, the drive unit 442, the fluidized particle circulation elevator. 22 and an instruction signal are output to the waste supply unit 13 and the like. Specifically, it is as follows.

流動床式ガス化炉11の運転開始時の流動粒子貯留部42内には、流動粒子の上端位置が第2レベル計424bと第3レベル計424cとの間になるような量の流動粒子が貯留されている。そして、制御部46は、流動粒子供給装置40と流動粒子循環用エレベータ22とを駆動させる。   In the fluidized particle storage unit 42 at the start of operation of the fluidized bed gasifier 11, there is an amount of fluidized particles such that the upper end position of the fluidized particles is between the second level meter 424b and the third level meter 424c. Reserved. And the control part 46 drives the fluid particle supply apparatus 40 and the elevator 22 for fluid particle circulation.

流動粒子供給装置40から炉本体12への流動粒子の供給量が流動粒子循環用エレベータ22から貯留部本体421への流動粒子の供給量よりも多い場合、貯留部本体421内における流動粒子の上端位置が徐々に低下する。この上端位置が第2レベル計424bの位置に到達すると、制御部46は、第2レベル計424bからの検出信号を受信し、駆動部442を停止させる(即ち、流動粒子供給装置40を停止させる)指示信号を駆動部442に向けて出力する。これにより、貯留部本体421内の流動粒子の上端位置の低下が止まり、流動粒子貯留部42からケーシング本体445内における流動粒子によるマテリアルシール効果が維持される。   When the supply amount of the fluid particles from the fluid particle supply device 40 to the furnace body 12 is larger than the fluid particle supply amount from the fluid particle circulation elevator 22 to the reservoir main body 421, the upper end of the fluid particles in the reservoir main body 421. The position gradually decreases. When the upper end position reaches the position of the second level meter 424b, the control unit 46 receives the detection signal from the second level meter 424b and stops the driving unit 442 (that is, stops the fluidized particle supply device 40). ) An instruction signal is output toward the drive unit 442. Thereby, the fall of the upper end position of the fluid particle in the storage part main body 421 stops, and the material seal effect by the fluid particle in the casing main body 445 from the fluid particle storage part 42 is maintained.

仮に、流動粒子供給装置40から炉本体12への流動粒子の供給量と流動粒子循環用エレベータ22から貯留部本体421への流動粒子の供給量との差が非常に大きく、これにより、貯留部本体421内の流動粒子の上端位置が第1レベル計424aまで低下した場合には、制御部46は、第1レベル計424aからの検出信号を受信し、廃棄物供給部13を停止させる指示信号を廃棄物供給部13に向けて出力し、炉本体12内への廃棄物の供給を停止させる。これにより、炉本体12内における可燃性ガスの生成量が減少する。このため、貯留部本体421内の流動粒子の量が少なくなったことにより流動粒子によるマテリアルシール効果が低減し、これにより、流動粒子供給装置40を通じて炉本体12内に空気が流入しても、炉本体12内での可燃性ガスと前記空気との反応を抑制することができる。   Temporarily, the difference between the supply amount of the fluid particles from the fluid particle supply device 40 to the furnace body 12 and the supply amount of the fluid particles from the fluid particle circulation elevator 22 to the reservoir main body 421 is very large. When the upper end position of the flowing particles in the main body 421 is lowered to the first level meter 424a, the control unit 46 receives a detection signal from the first level meter 424a and stops the waste supply unit 13 Is output toward the waste supply unit 13 to stop the supply of waste into the furnace body 12. Thereby, the production amount of the combustible gas in the furnace body 12 is reduced. For this reason, the material seal effect by the fluidized particles is reduced by reducing the amount of fluidized particles in the reservoir main body 421, so that even if air flows into the furnace body 12 through the fluidized particle supply device 40, The reaction between the combustible gas and the air in the furnace body 12 can be suppressed.

第2レベル計424bよりも流動粒子の上端位置が低いときには流動粒子供給装置40が停止しているため、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22が貯留部本体421に供給する流動粒子によって、貯留部本体421内における流動粒子の上端位置が徐々に上昇する。前記上端位置が第3レベル計424cまで上昇すると、制御部46は、第3レベル計424cからの検出信号を受信し、駆動部442を駆動させる(即ち、流動粒子供給装置40を稼動させる)指示信号を駆動部442に向けて出力する。   When the upper end position of the fluidized particles is lower than the second level meter 424b, the fluidized particle supply device 40 is stopped. Therefore, the fluidized particles circulating elevator 22 supplies the reservoir main body 421 with the fluidized particles supplied to the reservoir main body 421. The upper end position of the fluidized particles gradually rises. When the upper end position rises to the third level meter 424c, the control unit 46 receives the detection signal from the third level meter 424c and instructs to drive the drive unit 442 (that is, to operate the fluid particle supply device 40). The signal is output toward the drive unit 442.

流動粒子供給装置40から炉本体12への流動粒子の供給量が流動粒子循環用エレベータ22から貯留部本体421への流動粒子の供給量よりも少ない場合、貯留部本体421内における流動粒子の上端位置が徐々に上昇する。前記上端位置が第4レベル計424dまで上昇すると、制御部46は、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22を停止させる指示信号を流動粒子循環用エレベータ22に向けて出力する。これにより、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22から貯留部本体421への流動粒子の供給が停止擦る一方、駆動部442が駆動を続けているため炉本体12内への流動粒子の供給が維持されるため、貯留部本体421内の流動粒子の上端位置は徐々に低下する。これにより、前記上端位置が第3レベル計424cまで低下すると、制御部46は、第3レベル計424cからの検出信号を受信し、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22を駆動させるための指示信号を流動粒子循環用エレベータ22に向けて出力する。   When the supply amount of the fluid particles from the fluid particle supply device 40 to the furnace main body 12 is smaller than the fluid particle supply amount from the fluid particle circulation elevator 22 to the reservoir main body 421, the upper end of the fluid particles in the reservoir main body 421. The position gradually rises. When the upper end position rises to the fourth level meter 424d, the control unit 46 outputs an instruction signal for stopping the fluidized particle circulating elevator 22 to the fluidized particle circulating elevator 22. As a result, the supply of fluid particles from the fluid particle circulation elevator 22 to the reservoir main body 421 is stopped and rubbed, while the drive unit 442 continues to drive, so that the supply of fluid particles into the furnace main body 12 is maintained. In addition, the upper end position of the flowing particles in the storage unit main body 421 gradually decreases. Accordingly, when the upper end position is lowered to the third level meter 424c, the control unit 46 receives the detection signal from the third level meter 424c and sends an instruction signal for driving the fluid particle circulating elevator 22 to the fluid particle. Output toward the circulating elevator 22.

尚、制御部46は、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22のon/offに代えて、第1ダンパー22aの切り換えを行ってもよい。この場合、流動粒子循環用エレベータ22が運転し続けるため、炉本体12からの不燃物の引き抜きを停止することなく貯留部本体421への流動粒子の供給量を制御することが可能となる。   Note that the control unit 46 may switch the first damper 22a instead of turning the fluid particle circulating elevator 22 on / off. In this case, since the fluidized particle circulation elevator 22 continues to operate, it is possible to control the amount of fluidized particles supplied to the reservoir main body 421 without stopping the extraction of non-combustible materials from the furnace body 12.

以上の流動粒子供給装置40によれば、貯留部本体421内及びケーシング本体445内の流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして機能することにより、炉本体12内への流動粒子の投入時においても、外部の空気が当該流動粒子供給装置40を通じて粒子投入部17から炉本体12内に流入するのを防ぐことができる。具体的には、貯留部本体421内に流動粒子が充填されると、当該貯留部本体421が前記充填された流動粒子を開口部445aを通じてケーシング本体445内の流動粒子上に積み上げるように供給する。これにより、少なくとも開口部445a周辺のケーシング本体445内が流動粒子に満たされ且つ上側に積み上げられた貯留部本体421内の流動粒子の重みによって密集した状態となる。また、貯留部本体421の底部においても上側の流動粒子の重みによって流動粒子が密集した状態となる。その結果、流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして働き、流動粒子貯留部42からケーシング本体445内を通じて粒子投入部17へ向かう空気の流れが妨げられる。しかも、スクリュー軸444の回転によって流動粒子がケーシング本体445内を粒子投入部17に向けて搬送されるときにも、ケーシング本体445の傾斜によって流動粒子に開口部445a側に向けて力が働くため、ケーシング本体445の少なくとも開口部445a周辺での流動粒子の密集状態が維持されてマテリアルシールとしての機能が維持される。これにより、粒子投入部17から炉本体12内に流動粒子を供給しつつ、外部の空気が当該流動粒子供給装置40を通じて粒子投入部17から炉本体12内に流入するのを防ぐことができる。   According to the fluidized particle supply device 40 described above, the fluid particles in the reservoir main body 421 and the casing main body 445 function as a material seal, so that external air can be supplied even when fluid particles are introduced into the furnace body 12. Can be prevented from flowing into the furnace main body 12 from the particle input unit 17 through the fluidized particle supply device 40. Specifically, when the storage unit body 421 is filled with fluid particles, the reservoir unit body 421 supplies the filled fluid particles so as to be stacked on the fluid particles in the casing body 445 through the opening 445a. . As a result, at least the inside of the casing body 445 around the opening 445a is filled with the fluidized particles, and is densely packed by the weight of the fluidized particles in the reservoir body 421 stacked on the upper side. In addition, the flowing particles are densely packed by the weight of the upper flowing particles at the bottom of the reservoir main body 421. As a result, the fluidized particles act as a material seal, and the flow of air from the fluidized particle reservoir 42 to the particle inlet 17 through the casing body 445 is prevented. In addition, even when the fluidized particles are transported toward the particle introduction unit 17 through the casing body 445 by the rotation of the screw shaft 444, the force acts on the fluidized particles toward the opening 445a due to the inclination of the casing body 445. The dense state of the fluidized particles at least around the opening 445a of the casing body 445 is maintained, and the function as a material seal is maintained. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent external air from flowing into the furnace main body 12 from the particle input section 17 through the fluidized particle supply device 40 while supplying the flowing particles from the particle input section 17 into the furnace main body 12.

また、第2レベル計424bによって貯留部本体421に貯留された流動粒子が少なくなったのを検出して制御部46がスクリューコンベア441(駆動部442)を停止させることにより、貯留部本体421内及びケーシング本体445内の流動粒子の減少によって当該流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして機能しなくなる前に炉本体12内への流動粒子の供給を自動的に停止させることができる。   Further, the control unit 46 stops the screw conveyor 441 (drive unit 442) by detecting that the second level meter 424b has decreased the amount of fluidized particles stored in the storage unit main body 421. And the supply of fluid particles into the furnace body 12 can be automatically stopped before the fluid particles do not function as a material seal due to the decrease of fluid particles in the casing body 445.

尚、本発明の流動粒子供給装置は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更を加え得ることは勿論である。   In addition, the fluid particle supply apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

上記実施形態では、流動粒子貯留部42に複数のレベル計(第1〜第4レベル計424a、424b、424c、424d)が設けられているが、1つだけでもよい。この場合、第1レベル計424aが設けられていれば、貯留部本体421内及びケーシング本体445内の流動粒子の減少によって当該流動粒子がマテリアルシールとして機能しなくなる前に炉本体12内への流動粒子の供給を自動的に停止させることができる。   In the above embodiment, the fluid particle storage unit 42 is provided with a plurality of level meters (first to fourth level meters 424a, 424b, 424c, 424d), but only one may be used. In this case, if the first level meter 424a is provided, the fluidized particles flow into the furnace body 12 before the fluidized particles do not function as a material seal due to the decrease of the fluidized particles in the storage body 421 and the casing body 445. The supply of particles can be stopped automatically.
