Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a process for producing synthesis gas (i.e. CO and H2) or a hydrocarbon product from a carbonaceous fuel. More in particular the invention is directed to a process for producing synthesis gas or a hydrocarbon product from a carbonaceous fuel, the process at least comprising the steps of:
- N2 is used as a transport gas for transporting the carbonaceous fuel, especially if ammonia is one of the intended products.
- N2 as a transport gas
- the N2 although relatively inert, may lead to undesirably reducing the catalytic efficiency of downstream processes. This problem is even more pertinent if the process is especially intended for producing a hydrocarbon not containing N-atoms. In particular, nitrogen has been found to adversely affect a methanol- forming reaction.
- EP-A-444684 describes a process to prepare methanol from solid waste material.
- a solid waste is combusted at ambient pressure with oxygen and a stream of carbon dioxide.
- the combustion takes place in a furnace to which solid waste material is supplied from the top and the oxygen and carbon dioxide streams from the bottom.
- Carbon dioxide is added because it serves as methanol building block and to suppress the temperature in the furnace.
- the synthesis gas as prepared in the furnace is used to make methanol. Part of the carbon dioxide present in the synthesis gas is recycled to the furnace.
- EP-A-444684 A disadvantage of the process of EP-A-444684 is that the furnace is operated at ambient pressure. When desiring a high capacity, especially when starting from a solid coal fuel, large furnaces will then be required.
- a process, which is operated at higher pressure, is described in US-A-3976442.
- a solid carbonaceous fuel is transported in a CO2 rich gas to a burner of a pressurized gasification reactor operating at about 50 bar.
- a flow of coal and carbon dioxide at a weight ratio of CO2 to coal of about 1.0 is supplied to the annular passage of the annular burner at a velocity of 150 ft/sec.
- Oxygen is passed through the centre passage of the burner at a temperature of 300 °F and a velocity of 250 ft/sec.
- US-A-3976442 thus provides a process wherein the partial oxidation is performed in a pressurized reactor and wherein the use of nitrogen as transport gas is avoided. Nevertheless the use of carbon dioxide as transport gas was never practiced or seriously considered in the intermediate 30 years. This was probably due to the low efficiency of the process as disclosed by this publication.
- One or more of the above or other objects are achieved by the present invention by providing a process for producing synthesis gas or a hydrocarbon product from a carbonaceous fuel, the process at least comprising the steps of:
- step (a) supplying a carbonaceous fuel and an oxygen containing stream to a burner of a gasification reactor, wherein a CO2 containing transport gas is used to transport the solid carbonaceous fuel to the burner; (b) partially oxidising the carbonaceous fuel in the gasification reactor, thereby obtaining a gaseous stream at least comprising CO, CO2, and H2 ; (c) removing the gaseous stream obtained in step (b) from the gasification reactor; wherein the weight ratio of CO2 to the carbonaceous fuel in step (a) is less than

- the weight ratio in step (a) is in the range from 0.12-0.49, preferably below 0.40, more preferably below 0.30, even more preferably below 0.20 and most preferably between 0.12-0.20 on a dry basis.
- the gaseous stream obtained in step (c) comprises from 1 to 10 mol% CO2, preferably from 4.5 to
- step (a) may have been pre- treated, if desired, before being supplied to the gasification reactor.
- the gaseous stream as obtained in step (c) is further processed.
- the gaseous stream as obtained in step (c) may be subjected to dry solids removal, wet scrubbing, etc.
- the gaseous stream as obtained in step (c) is subjected to a hydrocarbon synthesis reactor thereby obtaining a hydrocarbon product, in particular methanol.
- the process further comprises the step of:
- step (d) shift converting the gaseous stream as obtained in step (c) by at least partially converting CO into CO2, thereby obtaining a CO depleted stream. Also it is preferred that the process further comprises the step of:
- step (e) subjecting the CO depleted stream as obtained in step (d) to a CO2 recovery system thereby obtaining a CO2 rich stream and a CO2 poor stream. It is even further preferred that the CO2 poor stream as obtained in step (e) is subjected to a methanol synthesis reaction, thereby obtaining methanol.

- Line 9 connects the one or more burners to a supply of an oxygen containing stream (e.g. substantially pure O2 or air) .
- the burner is preferably a co-annular burner with a passage for an oxygen containing gas and a passage for the fuel and the transport gas.
- the oxygen containing gas preferably comprises at least 90% by volume oxygen. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide and argon being permissible as impurities. Substantially pure oxygen is preferred, such as prepared by an air separation unit (ASU) .
- ASU air separation unit
- Steam may be present in the oxygen containing gas as it passes the passage of the burner.
- the ratio between oxygen and steam is preferably from 0 to 0.3 parts by volume of steam per part by volume of oxygen.
- a mixture of the fuel and oxygen from the oxygen-containing stream reacts in a reaction zone in the gasification reactor 10.
- a reaction between the carbonaceous fuel and the oxygen-containing fluid takes place in the gasification reactor 10, producing a gaseous stream of synthesis gas containing at least CO, CO2 and H2.
- Generation of synthesis gas occurs by partially combusting the carbonaceous fuel at a relatively high temperature somewhere in the range of 1000 0 C to 3000 0 C and at a pressure in a range of from about 1-70 bar.
- Slag and other solids can be discharged from the gasification reactor via line 5, after which they can be further processed for disposal.
- the feed hopper 6 preferably has multiple feed hopper discharge outlets, each outlet being in communication with at least one burner associated with the reactor. Typically, the pressure inside the feed hopper 6 exceeds the pressure inside the reactor 9, in order to facilitate injection of the powder coal into the reactor.
- the gaseous stream of synthesis gas leaves the gasification reactor 10 through line 11 at the top, where it is cooled.
- a syngas cooler (not shown) may be provided downstream of the gasification reactor 10 to have some or most of the heat recovered for the generation of, for instance, high-pressure steam.
- the synthesis gas enters the downstream system D in a downstream path section of the process path, wherein the dry-solids removal unit 12 is optionally arranged.
- the dry-solids removal unit 12 may be of any type, including the cyclone type. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, it is provided in the form of a preferred ceramic candle filter unit as for example described in EP-A-551951.
- Line 13 is in fluid communication with the ceramic candle filter unit to provide a blow back gas pressure pulse at timed intervals in order to blow dry solid material that has accumulated on the ceramic candles away from the ceramic candles.
- the dry solid material is discharged from the dry-solids removal unit via line 14 from where it is further processed prior to disposal.
- the blow back gas for the blow back gas pressure pulse is preheated to a temperature of between 200 0 C and 260 0 C, preferably around 225 0 C, or any temperature close to the prevailing temperature inside the dry-solid removal unit 12.
- the blow back gas is preferably buffered to dampen supply pressure effects when the blow back system is activated.
- the CC>2 ⁇ recovery system 22 functions by dividing the gaseous stream into a C ⁇ 2 ⁇ rich stream and a CC>2 poor (but CO- and H2 ⁇ rich) stream and.
- the C ⁇ 2 ⁇ recovery system 22 has an outlet 21 for discharging the C ⁇ 2 ⁇ rich stream and an outlet 23 for discharging the C ⁇ 2 ⁇ poor stream in the process path.
- Outlet 23 is in communication with the methanol synthesis reactor 24, where the discharged (CO2 poor but) CO- and H 2 -rich stream can be subjected to the methanol-forming reaction.
- the synthesis gas 10 discharged from the gasification reactor comprises at least H 2 , CO, and CO2 •
- the suitability of the synthesis gas composition for the methanol forming reaction is expressed as the stoichiometric number SN of the synthesis gas, whereby expressed in the molar contents [H2], [CO], and [CO2],
- SN ( [H 2 ] - [CO 2 ] )/( [CO] + [CO 2 ] ). It has been found that the stoichiometric number of the synthesis gas produced by gasification of the carbonaceous feed is lower than the desired ratio of about 2.03 for forming methanol in the methanol synthesis reactor 24.
- the SN number can be improved.
- hydrogen separated from the methanol synthesis off gas can be added to the synthesis gas to further increase the SN (not shown in Figure) .
- C0 2 -recovery Any type of C0 2 -recovery may be employed, but absorption based C0 2 -recovery is preferred, such as physical or chemical washes, because such recovery also removes sulphur-containing components such as H 2 S from the process path.
- absorption based C0 2 -recovery is preferred, such as physical or chemical washes, because such recovery also removes sulphur-containing components such as H 2 S from the process path.
- the CO 2 -rich stream becomes available for a variety of uses to assist the process, of which examples will now be discussed.
- a feedback line 27 is provided to bring a feedback gas from the downstream system D to feedback inlets providing access to one or more other points in the process path that lie upstream of the outlet 21, suitably via one or more of branch lines 7, 29, 30, 31, 32 each being in communication with line 27.
- Blowback lines may be provided at the outlet of the gasifier and the inlet of the optional syngas cooler. Such blowback lines, although presently not shown in
- Fig. 1 would serve to supply blow back gas for clearing local deposits.
- Line 27 is in communication with outlet 21, to achieve that the feedback gas contains CO2 from the C ⁇ 2 ⁇ rich stream. Excess C ⁇ 2 ⁇ rich gas may be removed from the cycle via line 26.
- a compressor 28 may optionally be provided in line 27 to generally adjust the pressure of the feedback gas. It is also possible to locally adjust the pressure in one or more of the branch lines, as needed, either by pressure reduction or by (further) compression. Another option is to provide two or more parallel feedback lines to be held at mutually different pressures using compression in each of the parallel feedback lines. The most attractive option will depend on the relative consumptions. Herewith a separate source of compressed gas for bringing additional gas into the process path is avoided. Typically in the prior art, nitrogen is used for instance as the carrier gas for bringing the fuel to and into the gasification reactor 10, or as the blow-back gas in the dry solids removal unit 12 or as purge gas or aeration gas in other places. This unnecessarily brings inert components into the process path, which adversely affects the methanol synthesis efficiency. CO2 is available from the gaseous stream anyway, and the invention seeks inter alia to advantageously make use of that.
- One or more feedback gas inlets are preferably provided in the fuel supply system such that in operation a mixture comprising the carbonaceous fuel and the feedback gas is formed.
- an entrained flow of the carbonaceous fuel with a carrier gas containing the feedback gas can be formed in conveyor line 8 to feed the gasification reactor 10. Examples can be found in the embodiment of Fig. 1, where branch lines 7 and 29 discharge into the sluicing hopper 2 for pressurising the sluicing hopper 2 and/or aerating its content, branch line 32 discharges into the feed hopper 6 to optionally aerate its content, and branch line 30 feeds the feedback gas into the conveyor line 8.
- the feedback gas is preferably brought into the process path through one or more sintered metal pads, which can for instance be mounted in the conical section of sluicing hopper 2.
- the feedback gas may be directly injected.
- one or more feedback gas inlets can be provided in the dry-solids removal unit 12 where it can be utilized as blow-back gas.
- one or more feedback gas inlets can be provided in the form of purge stream inlets for injecting a purging portion of the feedback gas into the process path to blow dry solid accumulates such as fly ash back into the gaseous steam.
- the C ⁇ 2 ⁇ recovery system 22 can alternatively be located downstream of the hydrocarbon synthesis reactor 24, since a significant fraction of the CO2 will generally not be converted into the organic substance to be synthesised.
- an advantage of an upstream location relative to the methanol synthesis reactor 24 is that the CO- and H2- rich stream forms an improved starting mixture for a subsequent methanol synthesis reaction, because it has an increased stoichiometric ratio - defined as
- [X] signifies the molar content of molecule X whereby X is H 2 , CO, or CO 2 - closer to the optimal stoichiometric number of 2.03 for the synthesis of methanol.
- an optional shift conversion reactor 18 is disposed in the process path upstream of the C0 2 -recovery system 22.
- the shift conversion reactor is arranged to convert CO and Steam into H 2 and CO 2 .
- Steam can be fed into the shift conversion reactor via line 19.
- An advantage hereof is that the amount of H 2 in the gaseous mixture is increased so that the stoichiometric ratio is further increased.
- the CO 2 as formed in this reaction may be advantageously used as transport gas in step (a) .
- the methanol that is discharged from the methanol synthesis reactor 24 along line 33 may be further processed to meet desired requirements, for instance including purification steps that may include for instance distillation, or even including conversion steps to produce other liquids such as for instance one or more of the group including gasoline, dimethyl ether (DME) , ethylene, propylene, butylenes, isobutene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) .
- purification steps may include for instance distillation, or even including conversion steps to produce other liquids such as for instance one or more of the group including gasoline, dimethyl ether (DME) , ethylene, propylene, butylenes, isobutene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) .
- DME dimethyl ether
- LPG liquefied petroleum gas
- the feedback inlets can be connected to an external gas supply, for instance for feeding in CO 2 or N 2 or another suitable gas during a start-up phase of the process.
- the feedback inlet may then be connected to the outlet arranged to discharge the feedback gas containing CO2 from the internally produced CO 2 -rich stream.
- nitrogen is used as external gas for start-up of the process. In start-up situations no carbon dioxide will be readily available.
- the amount of carbon dioxide as recovered from the gaseous stream prepared in step (b) is sufficient the amount of nitrogen can be reduced to zero.
- Nitrogen is suitably prepared in a so-called air separation unit which unit also prepares the oxygen-containing stream of step (a) .
- the invention is thus also related to a method to start the process according to a specific embodiment of the invention wherein the carbon dioxide as obtained in step (e) is used in step (a) .
- nitrogen is used as transport gas in step (a) until the amount of carbon dioxide as obtained in step (e) is sufficient to replace the nitrogen.
- Table I illustrates, in a line up as shown and described with reference to Fig. 1, the effect of using CO2 from the CC>2-recovery system 22 for coal feeding and blowback purposes, instead of nitrogen, on the synthesis gas composition.
- the nitrogen content in the synthesis gas is decreased by more than a factor of ten utilizing the invention relative to the reference.
- the CO 2 content has increased a little relative to the reference, but this is considered to be of minor importance relative to the advantage of lowering the nitrogen content because CO 2 does not burden the methanol synthesis reaction as much as nitrogen.
- CO 2 will always be part of the synthesis gas composition, especially after performing a water shift reaction.
- Table II illustrates, in a line up as shown and described with reference to Fig. 1, the effect of using a weight ratio of CO 2 to the solid coal fuel of less than 0.5 (dense phase) according to the invention (T1-T3) , as compared with the weight ratio of about 1.0 (dilute phase) as used in the Example I of US-A-3976442.
- the oxygen consumption per kg oxygen according to the present invention is significantly lower than the oxygen consumption in case of Example I of US-A-3976442.
- the weight ratio of CO2 to coal is between 0.12 and 0.20.
- the invention has here been illustrated in accordance with a coal-to-methanol process and system.
- the invention is applicable in an analogue way to synthesis of hydroxygenated alkanes in general, including other alcohols, dimethyl ether (DME) , or synthesis of alkanes, oxygenated alkanes, which may be formed by subjecting the gaseous stream of synthesis gas to for instance a Fisher- Tropsch reaction.
- the invention also provides one or more process advantages in manufacturing of H2.
- H2 separator for H2 manufacturing the methanol-forming reactor 24 is not necessary, but instead there may be a H2 separator for separating an H2 ⁇ rich gas from the synthesis gas stream. Examples of an H2 separator are a pressure swing adsorber
- PSA PSA
- a membrane-separator or a cold box separator or combinations of said processes.
- An advantage of a PSA is that the separated H2 is readily available at elevated pressure .
