Description
- The present invention relates to a coal reforming plant for reforming coal by drying and pyrolyzing it. The present invention is particularly effective when applied to reformation of low-grade coals containing much moisture such as lignite, sub-bituminous coal, and the like.
- Though there are abundant reserves of low-grade coals containing much moisture such as lignite, sub-bituminous coal, and the like, such low-grade coal has a low heating value per unit weight and has poor transport efficiency. For this reason, the low-grade coal is heated and dried to increase the heating value per unit weight, and is compression-molded to improve the handling capability.
-
FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of a conventional coal reforming plant for reforming such low-grade coal (see, for example, Patent Literature 1 below). - As shown in
FIG. 2 , a supply port of ahopper 11 for supplying low-grade coal 1 is connected to a receiving port of adryer 12 for drying the low-grade coal 1. An outlet port of thisdryer 12 is connected to a receiving port of apyrolyzer 13 for pyrolyzing driedcoal 2. An outlet port of this pyrolyzer is connected to a receiving port of amolder 14 for compression-molding pyrolysis coal 3. - A gas exhaust port of the
pyrolyzer 13 is connected to a gas receiving port of acooling tower 15 for separating and recoveringgaseous pyrolysis oil 6, which is generated from the driedcoal 2 by the pyrolysis, frompyrolysis gas 5. A gas outlet port of thiscooling tower 15 is connected to a receiving port of a circulatingblower 19. An outlet port of this circulatingblower 19 is connected to both a dryingcombustor 20 and apyrolysis combustor 21. - On the other hand, a lower part of the
cooling tower 15 is connected to a receiving port of a circulatingpump 16. An outlet port of this circulatingpump 16 is connected via aheat exchanger 17 to aspray nozzle 18 provided in an upper part of an inside of thecooling tower 15, and is also connected to both thedrying combustor 20 and thepyrolysis combustor 21 as well as the outside of the system. - A gas outlet port of the
pyrolysis combustor 21 is connected to a gas receiving port of thepyrolyzer 13. A pyrolysiscombustor bypass line 21 a is provided between the outlet port of the circulatingblower 19 and the gas receiving port of thepyrolyzer 13 for establishing circulation bypassing thepyrolysis combustor 21. Aflow control valve 21 b is provided in this pyrolysiscombustor bypass line 21 a. - A gas outlet port of the drying
combustor 20 is connected to a gas receiving port of thedryer 12. A dryingcombustor bypass line 20 a is provided between the outlet port of the circulatingblower 19 and the gas receiving port of thedryer 12 for establishing circulation bypassing the dryingcombustor 20. Aflow control valve 20 b is provided in this dryingcombustor bypass line 20 a. A gas outlet port of thedryer 12 is connected to a receiving port of a circulatingblower 22. An outlet port of this circulatingblower 22 is connected to the gas receiving port of thedryer 12, and is also connected to the outside of the system. - In this conventional
coal reforming plant 10, once the low-grade coal 1 is introduced into thehopper 11, thehopper 11 dispenses the low-grade coal 1 to thedryer 12. The low-grade coal 1 supplied to thedryer 12 is heated by combustion gas 7 (about 150° C. to 350° C.) sent from the dryingcombustor 20, so that moisture is removed from the low-grade coal 1. The low-grade coal 1 is thereby turned into the driedcoal 2, which is conveyed to thepyrolyzer 13. The driedcoal 2 conveyed to thepyrolyzer 13 is heated and pyrolyzed by the combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.) sent from thepyrolysis combustor 21, so that components such as thepyrolysis gas 5, thepyrolysis oil 6 and the like, are removed from the driedcoal 2. The driedcoal 2 is thereby turned into thepyrolysis coal 3, which is then supplied to themolder 14. Thepyrolysis coal 3 supplied to themolder 14 is compression-molded and turned into reformedcoal 4 in the form of briquettes, or the like. - On the other hand, the
pyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 500° C.) generated in thepyrolyzer 13 are supplied along with thecombustion gas 7 to thecooling tower 15 and cooled by the liquid pyrolysis oil 6 (about 60° C.), which is sprayed from thespray nozzle 18, thereby being recovered in a liquid form in a bottom part of thecooling tower 15. This pyrolysis oil 6 (about 80° C. to 120° C.) recovered in the bottom part of thecooling tower 15 is withdrawn by the circulatingpump 16, so that part of thepyrolysis oil 6 is supplied to the dryingcombustor 20 and thepyrolysis combustor 21, whereas the other remaining part thereof is heat-exchanged with heat-exchange water in a heat-exchanger 17 to be cooled (about 60° C.), and is then sprayed from thespray nozzle 18 to be utilized for cooling thegaseous pyrolysis oil 6. Then, because the amount of thepyrolysis oil 6 recovered in thecooling tower 15 gradually increases and becomes too much, an appropriate amount of thepyrolysis oil 6 is appropriately withdrawn to the outside of the system and disposed. - On the other hand, the pyrolysis gas 5 (about 60° C. to 80° C.) separated from the
pyrolysis oil 6 is supplied along with thecombustion gas 7 to both the dryingcombustor 20 and thepyrolysis combustor 21 by the circulatingblower 19 and combusted with thepyrolysis oil 6, so that it is turned into thecombustion gas 7, which is then supplied to both thedryer 12 and thepyrolyzer 13 and used for drying (about 150° C. to 350° C.) and pyrolysis (about 350° C. to 550° C.), respectively. - A part (increment due to the combustion in the
combustors 20 and 21) of the combustion gas 7 (about 90° C. to 150° C.) used for drying in thedryer 12 is exhausted to the outside of the system by the circulatingblower 22, and the other remaining part thereof is supplied to thedryer 12 again and reused along with thecombustion gas 7 from thedrying combustor 20. - It should be noted that the temperature of the
combustion gas 7 from thecombustors valves combustion gas 7 should not be combusted in thecombustors bypass lines pyrolysis oil 6 to thepyrolysis combustor 21 is reduced or cut off when only thepyrolysis gas 5 supplied to thepyrolysis combustor 21 can provide a sufficient amount of heat. -
- {Patent Literature 1} U.S. Pat. No. 5,401,364
- In the conventional
coal reforming plant 10 as described above, after thepyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 500° C.) generated in thepyrolyzer 13 are cooled in thecooling tower 15 to separate thepyrolysis oil 6, the pyrolysis gas 5 (about 60° C. to 80° C.) is supplied to the dryingcombustor 20 and thepyrolysis combustor 21 to generate the drying combustion gas 7 (about 150° C. to 350° C.) and the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.), respectively. In other words, because thecombustion gas 7 having high temperatures is generated from thepyrolysis gas 5 once cooled to separate thegaseous pyrolysis oil 6, waste of thermal energy is generated. - In view of the above problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide a coal reforming plant that can utilize thermal energy more effectively than in the conventional plant, thereby improving thermal efficiency.
- A coal reforming plant according to a first invention for solving the above-described problem includes: drying combustion gas generating means for generating drying combustion gas; drying means for drying coal introduced into an inside thereof with the combustion gas from the drying combustion gas generating means being supplied to the inside thereof; pyrolysis combustion gas generating means for generating pyrolysis combustion gas; pyrolysis means for pyrolyzing dried coal with the combustion gas from the pyrolysis combustion gas generating means being supplied to an inside thereof, the dried coal being dried in the drying means; pyrolysis fuel supply means for supplying part of pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis oil in gaseous form generated in the pyrolysis means to the pyrolysis combustion gas generating means; pyrolysis oil separating means for cooling the other part of the pyrolysis gas and the pyrolysis oil in gaseous form generated in the pyrolysis means, and thus separating the other part into the pyrolysis gas and the pyrolysis oil in liquid form; and drying fuel supply means for supplying the pyrolysis gas separated from the pyrolysis oil in the pyrolysis oil separating means to the drying combustion gas generating means.
- A coal reforming plant according a second invention is the coal reforming plant, according to the first invention, in which the drying fuel supply means supplies part of the pyrolysis gas from the pyrolysis oil separating means to the drying combustion gas generating means, and the coal reforming plant further comprises power generating means for generating power by using the other part of the pyrolysis gas from the pyrolysis oil separating means.
- A coal reforming plant according a third invention is the coal reforming plant, according to any one of the first and second inventions, further including drying combustion gas circulating means for supplying the combustion gas exhausted from the inside of the drying means to the drying means again.
- A coal reforming plant according a fourth invention is the coal reforming plant, according to any one of the first to third inventions, further including molding means for compression-molding pyrolysis coal obtained by the pyrolysis in the pyrolysis means.
- In the coal reforming plant according to the present invention, part of the mixture of the pyrolysis gas and the pyrolysis oil in gaseous form is not cooled but is used with the pyrolysis oil in gaseous form still included in the part to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas. Accordingly, the amount of the pyrolysis gas and the gaseous pyrolysis oil to be used for obtaining a required amount of thermal energy to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas can be made smaller than that in the conventional art. Therefore, thermal energy can be utilized more effectively to improve thermal efficiency than in the conventional art.

FIG. 1 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 , a supply port of ahopper 111 that is coal supply means for supplying low-grade coal 1 is connected to a receiving port of adryer 112 that is drying means for drying the low-grade coal 1. An outlet port of thisdryer 112 is connected to a receiving port of apyrolyzer 113 that is pyrolysis means for pyrolyzing driedcoal 2. An outlet port of thispyrolyzer 113 is connected to a receiving port of amolder 114 that is molding means for compression-molding pyrolysis coal 3. - A gas exhaust port of the
pyrolyzer 113 is connected to a gas receiving port of a cooling tower 115 for separating and recoveringgaseous pyrolysis oil 6 generated from the driedcoal 2 by the pyrolysis, frompyrolysis gas 5, and is also connected to a gas receiving port of a circulatingblower 123 that is pyrolysis fuel supply means. A gas outlet port of this circulatingblower 123 is connected to apyrolysis combustor 121 that is pyrolysis combustion gas generating means. A gas outlet port of the cooling tower 115 is connected to a receiving port of a circulatingblower 119 that is drying fuel supply means. An outlet port of this circulatingblower 119 is connected to a dryingcombustor 120 that is drying combustion gas generating means, and is also connected to an independentpower generation boiler 124 that is power generating means. This independentpower generation boiler 124 is connected to anindependent power plant 125 including a steam turbine and the like. - In addition, a lower part of the cooling tower 115 is connected to a receiving port of a circulating
pump 116. An outlet port of this circulatingpump 116 is connected to aspray nozzle 118 via aheat exchanger 117, and is also connected to the outside of the system. - A gas outlet port of the
pyrolysis combustor 121 is connected to a gas receiving port of thepyrolyzer 113. A pyrolysiscombustor bypass line 121 a for establishing circulation bypassing thepyrolysis combustor 121 is provided between the outlet port of the circulatingblower 123 and the gas receiving port of thepyrolyzer 113. Aflow control valve 121 b is provided in this pyrolysiscombustor bypass line 121 a. - A gas outlet port of the drying
combustor 120 is connected to a gas receiving port of thedryer 112. A dryingcombustor bypass line 120 a for establishing circulation bypassing the dryingcombustor 120 is provided between the outlet port of the circulatingblower 119 and the gas receiving port of thedryer 112. Aflow control valve 120 b is provided in this dryingcombustor bypass line 120 a. - A gas outlet port of the
dryer 112 is connected to a receiving port of a circulatingblower 122 that is drying combustion gas circulating means. An outlet port of this circulatingblower 122 is connected to the gas receiving port of thedryer 112, and is also connected to the outside of the system. - In this embodiment, the cooling tower 115, the circulating
pump 116, theheat exchanger 117, thespray nozzle 118 and the like constitute pyrolysis oil separating means. - In the
coal reforming plant 100 according to this embodiment, once the low-grade coal 1 is introduced into thehopper 111, thehopper 111 dispenses the low-grade coal 1 to thedryer 112. The low-grade coal 1 supplied to thedryer 112 is heated by drying combustion gas 7 (about 150° C. to 350° C.) sent from the dryingcombustor 120, so that moisture is removed from the low-grade coal 1. The low-grade coal 1 is thereby turned into the driedcoal 2, which is conveyed to thepyrolyzer 113. The driedcoal 2 conveyed to thepyrolyzer 113 is heated and pyrolyzed by pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.) sent from thepyrolysis combustor 121, so that components such as thepyrolysis gas 5, thepyrolysis oil 6 and the like are removed from the driedcoal 2. The driedcoal 2 is thereby turned into thepyrolysis coal 3, which is then supplied to themolder 114. Thepyrolysis coal 3 supplied to themolder 114 is compression-molded and turned into reformedcoal 4 in the form of briquettes, or the like. - On the other hand, part of the
pyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 350° C.) generated in thepyrolyzer 113 is supplied along with thecombustion gas 7 to thepyrolysis combustor 121 by the circulatingblower 123 and combusted in thepyrolysis combustor 121, thereby being turned into the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.), which is then supplied to thepyrolyzer 113. - Then, the other remaining part is supplied to the cooling tower 115 and cooled by the liquid pyrolysis oil 6 (about 60° C.) sprayed from the
spray nozzle 118, and is recovered in a liquid form in a bottom part of the cooling tower 115. The pyrolysis oil 6 (about 80° C. to 120° C.) recovered in the bottom part of the cooling tower 115 is withdrawn by the circulatingpump 116 and heat-exchanged with heat-exchange water in the heat-exchanger 117 to be cooled (about 60° C.). Then, the cooledpyrolysis oil 6 is sprayed from thespray nozzle 118 to be utilized for cooling thegaseous pyrolysis oil 6. Then, because the amount of thepyrolysis oil 6 recovered in the cooling tower 115 gradually increases and becomes too much, an appropriate amount of thepyrolysis oil 6 is appropriately withdrawn to the outside of the system. - Moreover, part of the pyrolysis gas 5 (about 60° C. to 80° C.) separated from the
pyrolysis oil 6 is supplied along with thecombustion gas 7 to the dryingcombustor 120 by the circulatingblower 119 and combusted in the dryingcombustor 120, thereby being turned into the drying combustion gas 7 (about 150° C. to 350° C.), which is then supplied to thedryer 112. - Then, the other remaining part is supplied to the independent
power generation boiler 124 and combusted as fuel and, then, is exhausted as thecombustion gas 7 to the outside of the system. Steam generated in the independentpower generation boiler 124 is supplied to theindependent power plant 125 to drive the steam turbine, thereby generating electric power. This electric power generated in theindependent power plant 125 is used in electric-powered devices in thisplant 100 and surplus electric power is sold. - A part (increment due to the combustion in the drying combustor 120) of the combustion gas 7 (about 90° C. to 150° C.) used for drying in the
dryer 112 is exhausted to the outside of the system by the circulatingblower 122 and the other remaining part is supplied to thedryer 112 again and reused along with thecombustion gas 7 from the dryingcombustor 120. - The temperature of the
combustion gas 7 from thecombustors valves combustion gas 7 should not be combusted in thecombustors bypass lines - Thus, in the conventional
coal reforming plant 10 described above, the mixture of thepyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 500° C.) is entirely cooled to separate thepyrolysis oil 6 and, then, the pyrolysis gas 5 (about 60° C. to 80° C.) is utilized to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.). On the other hand, in thecoal reforming plant 100 according to the embodiment, part of the mixture of thepyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 500° C.) is not cooled, but thepyrolysis gas 5 still including thegaseous pyrolysis oil 6 is used to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.). - For this reason, in the
coal reforming plant 100 according to the embodiment, the usage amount of thermal energy of thepyrolysis gas 5 and thepyrolysis oil 6 required to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.) can be made smaller (for example, about 32 Gcal/h) than that in the conventional art (for example, about 56 Gcal/h). - Therefore, in the
coal reforming plant 100 according to the embodiment, thermal energy can be utilized more effectively to improve thermal efficiency than in the conventional art. - Further, because the usage amount of thermal energy of the
pyrolysis gas 5 and thepyrolysis oil 6 required to generate the pyrolysis combustion gas 7 (about 350° C. to 550° C.) can be made smaller than that in the conventional art, not only thepyrolysis gas 5 separated and recovered in the cooling tower 115 can be utilized in the dryingcombustor 120, but also the surplus pyrolysis gas 5 (for example, about 58 Gcal/h) can be burned in the independentpower generation boiler 124 to be utilized as energy to drive the independent power plant 125 (about 10 MW), in turn covering the operation of the electric-powered devices in thisplant 100. Furthermore, the surplus electric power can be sold, so that the operating cost can be reduced. - Furthermore, because the other remaining part of the mixture of the
pyrolysis gas 5 and the gaseous pyrolysis oil 6 (about 300° C. to 500° C.) is cooled in the cooling tower 115, the disposed thermal energy can be significantly reduced (for example, about 7 Gcal/h) in comparison with that in the conventional art (for example, about 49 Gcal/h) and, as a result, capacity of the cooling tower 115, the circulatingpump 116 and theheat exchanger 117 can be reduced. As a result, cost and installation space of the cooling tower 115, the circulatingpump 116 and theheat exchanger 117 can also be significantly reduced. - Performance data of the
coal reforming plant 100 according to this embodiment and the conventionalcoal reforming plant 10 will be shown in Table 1 below. -

coal reforming plant 100 according to this embodiment can improve thermal efficiency in comparison with the conventionalcoal reforming plant 10. - The coal reforming plant according to the present invention can utilize thermal energy more effectively than the conventional art and improve thermal efficiency. Therefore, it can be applied to industry very usefully.
