Definitions
- This invention relates generally to processes and systems for generating a blended Natural Gas of a BTU content high enough to be reinjected into the gas main. This is also combined with the production of rock wool to develop a high efficiency renewable energy plant at a low capital cost when the feedstock is renewable such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). This design of plant is becoming more desirable as high tipping fees and high transportation costs demand small, distributed, cost effective, MSW/renewable energy facilities.
- MSW Municipal Solid Waste
- Thermal plasma has consistently distinguished itself as a high efficiency, low emissions gasification process for just about any feedstock, and has been identified as one of the most desirable processes for use in producing energy from renewable fuels.
- Plasma technology is not inexpensive when compared to disposition of waste using landfill, incineration, or conventional gasification.
- the process and system of the present invention overcomes the economic hurdles noted above for a plasma system. It is to be understood, however, that the invention herein described is not limited to the use of a plasma gassifier. In some embodiments of the invention, conventional gassifiers, inductively heated gassifiers, or inductively heated gassifiers with plasma assist, can be employed. The use of a plasma gassifier in the practice of the present invention simply increases overall system effectiveness.
- the system of the present invention is simple, flexible, and very energy efficient. In short, it produces a large amount of renewable energy from a feedstock such as Municipal Solid Waste (“MSW”), for a very small capital investment. Any feedstock can be used, including, for example, biomass or algae. MSW is but a common example of a renewable feedstock.
- MSW Municipal Solid Waste
- this invention provides a method of extracting energy from a gassifier and delivering the energy to an energy transfer medium, the method including the steps of:
- the gassifier is a plasma gassifier.
- the further step of re-injecting the gas product into a gas main supply there is provided the further step of delivering the gas product to a pre-gassifier to increase system efficiency.
- Reclaimed heat is, in some embodiments, delivered heat to the pre-gassifier.
- the gaseous fuel includes any combination of natural gas, butane, propane, pentane, ethane, and any other suitable gaseous fuel.
- the step of controlling the thermal content of the blended fuel includes, in some embodiments, the further step of employing a sensor in a feedback loop.
- the sensor can be any of a flame ionization detector, a calorimeter, or a spectrometer.
- step of producing rock wool there is further provided the step of producing rock wool.
- step of producing accessory heat there is provided the step of producing rock wool.
- the invention provides a method of producing blended natural gas to be used on-site, or re-injected into the main, or any other gaseous fuel, rock wool production, and accessory heat production all at a low capital cost.
- This process is due in part to modern syngas production methods. Syngas production has taken a large step forward in quality when it is produced using a pyrolysis method combined with plasma generated heat. This process has proven itself to be far superior to conventional gassifiers.
- the thermal (BTU) content of the product syngas can consistently be held to about 300 BTU/Cu ft. This relatively low quality fuel is a step forward for renewable feedstock gasification but falls far short of the requirements of modern boilers, internal combustion engines, and turbines.
- a key attribute of the plasma based gasification system is the ability to control the process and generate relatively consistent thermal (BTU) content in the resultant gas. This allows the blending of the syngas with other fuels such as natural gas to produce a fuel of consistently high quality.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic representation of a process and system for generating blended natural gas from a renewable energy source constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic representation of a process and system 100 for generating blended natural gas from an energy source constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention.
- Municipal solid waste or other feedstock designated as MSW 1
- the feedstock can be any organic material, or an inorganic mix.
- Crane 2 transfers MSW 1 to a shredder 3 .
- the shredded feedstock (not shown) is then delivered to a pre-gassifier chamber 4 .
- pre-gassifier 4 helps to reduce the work of plasma torch 21 , which is the primary heat source of plasma chamber 9 .
- the feed system which includes shredder 3 , compresses the incoming feedstock MSW 1 so as to minimize the introduction of air.
- Plasma chamber 9 or other conventional gassifier is, in this specific illustrative embodiment of the invention, advantageously operated in a pyrolysis mode, or in air and/or oxygen combustion boosted modes of operation.
- Additives such as lime 5 are added, in this embodiment, to the gassifier to control emissions and improve the quality of an output slag 24 .
- Methods of chemically boosted heat such as the use of liquid or gaseous fuels and an oxidant injected into port 6 can be used in the practice of the invention. Additionally, any of several fuels such as propane, recirculated syngas, ethane, butane, pentane, etc. can be used in the practice of the invention to supplement the heat input of plasma torch 21 .
- the quality of the syngas is improved in this embodiment, by the injection of steam 25 into plasma chamber 9 .
- a syngas product is supplied via a syngas line 10 to a quench system 23 to reduce particulate and other emissions and to reduce the temperature of the syngas to a level that is acceptable to a final syngas purification system 13 .
- a quench system 23 to reduce particulate and other emissions and to reduce the temperature of the syngas to a level that is acceptable to a final syngas purification system 13 .
- sour water cleanup systems for the quench system have been omitted from the drawing for the sake of clarity.
- a final Heat recovery system 14 is generates heat that is used in this embodiment to operate pre-gassifier 4 .
- heat is sold as accessory heat.
- Heat produced by quench system 11 can also be sold or delivered to the pre-gassifier.
- a cooling tower for the facility has been omitted from this figure for the sake of clarity.
- Compressor 15 draws a slight vacuum on system 100 and directs the syngas to a three way valve 26 and a calorimeter 16 .
- other fuel quality measuring devices such as a flame ionization detector (FID)
- FID flame ionization detector
- the syngas in line 17 is directed to a blending valve 27 that mixes natural gas 18 , or any other fuel such as ethane, propane, butane, pentane etc.
- Mixing valve 27 is employed in a closed loop control arrangement that maintains a quality of fuel appropriate for re-injection into a natural gas main 29 .
- a quality of fuel appropriate for re-injection into a natural gas main 29 .
- typically about 5% to 10% concentration of syngas is utilized in this embodiment. It should be understood this invention is not limited to 5% to 10% blend concentrations.
- the product gas is pressurized by compressor 28 prior to being re-injected into gas main 29 .
