Definitions

  • the invention is directed at a method for uniformization and regulation of the solid fuels pneumatically conveyed using dense-stream conveying, into a gasifier for the production of synthesis gas.
  • Regulated feed of fuel dust in an entrained-flow gasifier is described, for example, in DE 10 2005 047 583 A.
  • the fuel composed of finely distributed or dust-type ( ⁇ 0.5 mm) fuel particles, for example coke, petro-coke, biological waste, and other fuels, is reacted with gasification agents that contain oxygen, under elevated pressure, at temperatures above the slag melting point.
  • a device and a method for pneumatic conveying of bulk materials, using the dense-stream method, are known from WO 2006/015702 A1.
  • a carbonaceous fuel is reacted with a gas that contains oxygen, whereby the gas that contains oxygen is fed in the sub-stoichiometric ratio, so that a product gas that contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide is obtained.
  • the fuel/oxygen ratio must be adjusted within a narrow range.
  • burners having coaxial channels are generally used, whereby mixing of the media being fed in takes place not in the burner, but only in the gasifier.
  • An example of a burner used in a pressurized gasification system is presented in detail in EP 0 437 698 A1, for example.
  • Supply of the burners with fuel usually takes place from a feed container that stands slightly above gasifier pressure, by means of dense-stream conveying.
  • pneumatic conveying is referred to as dense-stream conveying, whereby the carrier gas transports the fuel particles not as individual particles, but rather in the form of dense fillings or plugs that fill the entire pipe cross-section.
  • dense-stream conveying deliveries possess speeds of 4 to 6 m/s, whereby the high solids charge of the gas stream nevertheless leads to a high transport amount.
  • Dense-stream conveying is very gentle on the material and, above all, is not very susceptible to break-down with regard to sticky or damp transport material.
  • the quality of gasification is decisively influenced by the uniformity of the coal feed to the burner. While variations over longer time intervals (for example due to planned regulation measures or due to a change in the coal used, etc.) are determined by means of measurement technology and taken into consideration, very short-term fluctuations in the feed quality (feed density and velocity) cannot be compensated.
  • Setup of the feed container “at the bottom” is cost-advantageous, particularly if the required fuel transport into the feed container is based on gravity flow and therefore has to be positioned above the feed container.
  • This task is accomplished, according to the invention, with a method of the type mentioned initially, in that the fine-grain to dust-type fuel is first conveyed out of a feed container positioned below the burner level, to a level above the burner level, and subsequently homogenized in a line that is directed downward toward the burner.
  • the homogenization takes place in a line that is directed downward, whose length corresponds to at least five times the line diameter.
  • the fuel is homogenized in a drop line that is passed out of an elbow, whereby the drop line is oriented at angles ⁇ 20°, preferably at 0° from the vertical.
  • the range in which the drop line can be adjusted relative to the vertical can also be selected to be different from what is claimed here, depending on the material that is being used; the decisive factor is the homogenization in the drop pipe.
  • Another practical embodiment according to the invention consists in that gas is fed into the fuel stream, to regulate the fuel throughput, whereby mixing is undertaken just before or in the burner.
  • Dilution is brought about by adding auxiliary gas into the fuel stream being conveyed as a dense stream, in other words the conveying density is reduced. While the velocity of the diluted fuel is increased, the influence of the reduced density nevertheless predominates, whereby the throughput is reduced.
  • the example shows that very rapid adaptation of the fuel throughput is possible.
  • the regulation range is restricted by the required amount of gas and the fuel velocity in the burner, which is restricted due to erosion.
  • the fuel throughput can be changed by +/ ⁇ 10% in a typical application.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic layer diagram, as well as in
  • FIG. 2 an enlarged detail in the area of a burner, not shown in greater detail, in an indicated gasifier wall.
  • FIG. 1 shows the dense-stream conveying 2 a and 2 b out of the feed container 1 into the burners 4 a, 4 b of the gasifier 3 .
  • the exit of the feed container is lower than the burners, so that the fuel should be conveyed horizontally and upward.
  • the fuel is first passed to above burner level, and then, after deflection, homogenized in a drop line having a length of 3 m, for example.
  • the lines are deflected, in order to feed the fuel into the burners horizontally, and auxiliary gas 11 a, 11 b is fed into the line.
  • a gas 5 a, 5 b that contains oxygen and a moderation gas 6 a, 6 b are fed into the burner, and these influence the gasification parameters.
  • auxiliary gas 11 a, 11 b can be fed directly into the burner or into the fuel channel of the burner.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the method.
  • Dense-stream conveying 2 is passed into the vertical drop line in an arc.
  • Ahead of the burner tap 12 which is oriented vertically, an auxiliary gas 11 or part of the moderation gas 6 , for example CO 2 , is fed into the gas introduction device 10 , in order to reduce the conveying density and the fuel stream.
  • an auxiliary gas 11 or part of the moderation gas 6 for example CO 2
