Description

  The present invention relates to a circulating fluidized bed gasifier.

  Conventionally, technologies have been developed to effectively use organic resources by gasifying solid fuels of hydrocarbon resources such as coal, biomass, garbage, sewage sludge, and using the generated gas as combustible gas and heat source. Yes.

  As one of conventional gasifiers, a circulating fluidized bed gasification system including a fluidized bed gasification furnace and a fluidized bed combustion furnace is known (Patent Document 1). In this fluidized bed gasification system, a solid fuel of hydrocarbon resources is supplied to a fluidized bed gasification furnace, and gasification is performed with steam using heat of a fluid medium such as sand. The unreacted char residue and fluidized medium generated in the fluidized bed gasification furnace are guided to the fluidized bed combustion furnace to burn the char residue, and the heated fluidized medium is returned to the gasification furnace again. This is called the external circulation method. Since the fluidized bed gasification system of Patent Document 1 can separately extract the gasification gas of the fluidized bed gasification furnace and the combustion exhaust gas of the fluidized bed combustion furnace, a high-calorie gasification gas that does not contain an inert gas can be obtained. There is an advantage that can be manufactured.

On the other hand, in the initial stage of gasification of solid fuel, pyrolysis is mainly performed to generate pyrolysis gas (gas mainly composed of hydrocarbons including tar), and char generated by pyrolysis is It is known that gasification gas (CO, H ₂ , CH ₄ etc. depending on the type of gasifying agent, etc.) is generated by gasification, and the tar generated during the thermal decomposition is char gas. It is known to adversely affect the promotion of chemical reaction.

  For this reason, the interior of the gasification furnace is divided into two chambers by a dividing wall with which the lower part communicates, fuel is supplied to the first chamber for thermal decomposition, and the char generated in the first chamber flows into the lower part of the dividing wall. Circulating fluidized bed gasification in which char is gasified in the second chamber by introducing it into the second chamber through the medium, and char residue that has not been gasified in the second chamber is supplied to the fluidized bed combustion furnace. There exists a method and an apparatus (patent document 2). The fluidized bed gasification apparatus of Patent Document 2 has an advantage that tar can adversely affect the promotion of char gasification reaction by performing thermal decomposition of fuel and gasification of char separately.

  In addition, by using a separate device that separates the thermal decomposition of fuel and gasification of char, the problem of tar adversely affecting the promotion of the gasification reaction of char is eliminated, and tar generated during thermal decomposition is reduced. There is a circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace structure in which the amount of gasification gas produced is increased by collecting and gasifying (Patent Document 3).

  The circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace structure of Patent Document 3 is a two-stage fluidized bed pyrolysis furnace having a tar absorption part above the pyrolysis part and a two-stage having a coke gasification part above the char gasification part. And a fluidized bed gasification furnace having a structure. The fuel introduced into the pyrolysis section is pyrolyzed by a gasifying agent using the heat of the fluidizing medium to generate pyrolysis gas and char, and the char generated by pyrolysis is supplied to the chargasification section together with the fluidizing medium. Then, the heat of the fluidized medium is used to gasify with a gasifying agent to generate gasified gas. The char residue that has not been gasified in the char gasification section is supplied to the char residue combustion furnace together with the fluid medium, and the fluid medium is heated by burning the char residue, and the heated fluid medium is supplied to the thermal decomposition section.

  The pyrolysis gas generated in the pyrolysis section is introduced into the upper tar absorption section, the tar is absorbed by the tar absorbent supplied to the tar absorption section, and the pyrolysis gas from which tar has been removed is external. To be taken out. A tar absorbent that supports coke by absorbing tar in the tar absorption section is introduced into the coke gasification section, and the coke is gasified by the high-temperature gasification gas and gasification agent from the char gasification section The gasified gas is taken out together with the gasified gas from the char gasification section. The coke residue in the coke gasification section is supplied to the absorbent regeneration furnace together with the tar absorbent whose activity has been reduced, and the tar absorbent is heated and reactivated by burning the coke residue. , And supplied to the tar absorber.

  In the circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace structure of Patent Document 3, the problem that tar adversely affects the promotion of char gasification reaction can be solved by providing a fluidized bed pyrolysis furnace and a fluidized bed gasification furnace independently. In addition, since tar generated during pyrolysis is recovered and gasified, there is an advantage that the amount of gasified gas taken out can be increased.
