Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for thermal conversion of carbon based materials. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for thermal conversion of carbon based materials into combustible oil and/or gas. Further, the present invention relates to a method for thermal conversion of carbon based materials into combustible oil and/or gas. The present invention also relates to the use of the present system for thermal conversion of carbon based materials into combustible oil and/or gas.
  • One of the objectives of thermal conversion of carbon based, or carbon comprising matter, for example biomass, wood, forestry waste products, organic waste, agricultural waste products, plastics, tires, tar sand, industrial waste, municipal waste, airport waste, entertainment industry waste, harbour waste, hospital waste or reject coal, is the production of a combustible oil or gas, i.e. an oil or gas that can be used as a fuel source for engines, turbines, heating devices, steam devices etc.
  • thermally disintegrating carbon based, or carbon comprising, materials under a reduced oxygen pressure is also designated as thermal cracking or pyrolysis.
  • Thermal cracking, or thermal disintegration or pyrolysis, of carbon comprising materials is a technique that can be used to convert these materials into valuable combustible oil and gas that subsequently can be used, for example, to power vehicles, generate electricity in turbines or as base products for chemical synthesis.
  • thermal cracking is cooling and cleaning of the hot synthesis gas. Due to a combination of tar and coke formation in practice, no coolers can be installed to recover heat and wet gas cleaning equipment is required. Therefore, the thermal efficiency of current thermal cracking processes is low and contaminated waste water is produced.
  • a system for the thermal conversion of carbon based materials into combustible oil and/or gas said system comprises:
  • the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that a high quality oil and/or gas is obtained when thermal decomposition of carbon based materials is performed with the present system.
  • the process conditions for each subprocess can be optimized. This results in an advantageous thermal efficacy and high conversion rates.
  • the use of several specific reactors enables the system to be built up in a flexible and cost effective way.
  • the system may be embedded in a local (agricultural) infrastructure in order to provide a relatively small scale conversion plant.
  • Yet another advantage of the present system is that the gas produced, or synthesis gas, is practically tar free, thereby avoiding clogging in the various applications.
  • the present first fluid bed reactor for thermal cracking may also be designated as a reactor for thermal cracking or thermal cracker.
  • Thermal cracking is a refining process in which heat and pressure are used to break down, rearrange, or combine carbon molecules.

  • One advantage of this counterflow is thermal efficacy.
  • Present sixth reactor may, according to the present invention, also be denoted as gasification reactor or gasifier.

  • the products from a thermal cracking process are, removed and then fed to a distillation process within a hold-up time of typically 1 to 10 second, preferably 2 seconds.
  • the products of the thermal cracking process are separated into three fractions, a gaseous fraction, a light liquid fraction and a heavy liquid fraction.
  • the residue is fed back to the thermal cracking process or can be tapped directly as a product if desirable.
  • This fraction also contains dust particles, which are carried by the gas flow into the distillation process. Also these particles are returned to the thermal cracking process or are tapped.
  • the light liquid fraction is an oil fraction that does therefore not contain dust particles and can therefore be used as an engine or boiler fuel.

  • FIG. 7 reflects a method for treating combustible material, preferably by using the system according to claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
  • the product gas comprises at least one of the following components: flue gas, methane, water vapor, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and/or carbon dioxide.
  • pneumatic transport is realized by an educator as a system to transport coal, coal products, charred material and ashes from one reactor to another using synthesis gas or flue gas as a drive gas.
  • bulk particles are driven through pipes by means of blowing a gas, in most cases air, through the pipes at high speed.
  • the drive gas is blown in to an educator placed in the middle of the pneumatic system, therefore creating a flow of drive gas in one direction.
  • This flow of drive gas creates a lower pressure in the pipe section before the joint where the educator is placed.
  • the lower pressure creates a flow of gas created by a pyrolysis or gasification process, carrying particles from one reactor to the other. Because drive gas is flue gas or synthesis gas, no (partial) combustion of the gas or particles take place.
