Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock to produce a syngas.
  • the invention relates to a process for the gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock in a toroidal bed reactor.
  • Gasification is a process that converts carbonaceous materials, such as biomass, petroleum and coal, into carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting the raw material at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam (see EP 230 324 B1).
  • the resulting gas mixture is called synthesis gas or syngas.
  • Toroidal bed reactors which are a class of fluidised bed reactor, are well known in the art for the thermal treatment of various materials. For example, the treatment of a carbonaceous material is described in GB2416583.
  • the high turbulence in the toroidal bed reactor allows for express and more precise treatment of the feedstock through increased heat transfer. This helps minimise undesirable oxygen contact which might lead to scorching and allows for a higher temperatures and shorter residence times.
  • the present invention seeks to tackle at least some of the problems associated with the prior art or at least to provide a commercially acceptable alternative solution thereto.
  • the present invention provides a process for the gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock to produce a syngas, the process comprising:
  • the present inventors have arrived at a solution that allows for the economic use of a toroidal bed reactor while avoiding this risk.
  • the inventors have found that by using the combustion heater before use it is possible to bring the toroidal bed reactor up to temperature surprisingly quickly.
  • the system can then be kept at temperature using a heat exchanger. Once the process is running the heat of the gasification process in combination with a heat exchanger can be used to maintain the process temperature without requiring the use of the combustion heater.
  • the present invention provides a highly efficient process for bringing the reactor quickly and safely to an operating temperature. This allows for energy efficient on-demand carbonaceous feedstock processing.
  • the system can preferably be used to provide the fuel (the syngas; H2 and CO) for a gas turbine power generator. This is particularly useful, for example, as a system to supplement wind-powered energy generation since it allows near instant generation from standby to full output within minutes when the wind dies away.
  • the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that the turndown ratio that can be achieved with a toroidal bed reactor is greater than that of conventional fluidised bed reactors.
  • the toroidal bed reactor can work at very low levels of carbonaceous feedstock. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that this is because of the intimate mixing that is achieved between the feedstock and the gas.
  • the toroidal bed reactor does not require a fluidised bed material, even small amounts can be processed without inefficient reaction speeds or requiring difficult removal of residues from the reactor.
  • Typical fluidised bed gasifiers make use of a bed material in order to promote heat transfer between solids and the heated gases in the gasifier. As a consequence, additional equipment is required in order to separate the bed material from the remaining ash. Further problems occur in conventional systems when biomass is used as the fuel because biomass has a low ash sintering temperature; this leads to blockages unless fast and precise temperature control is used to reduce the amount of ash sintering. Although the use of fluidised beds ensures reasonable temperature control, temperature differences still occur. Accordingly, regular maintenance of such systems is required. Since the toroidal bed reactor does not use a bed material, these problems have been obviated.
  • carbonaceous feedstock refers to a feedstock which comprises carbon.
  • Examples of carbonaceous feedstocks are coal, petroleum, biomass and biofuel.
  • biomass feedstock refers to a biological feedstock derived from living or recently living organisms, such as plant matter, waste, landfill gases and alcohol fuels.
  • Biomass is carbon based and is composed of a mixture of organic molecules containing hydrogen, usually including atoms of oxygen, often nitrogen and also small quantities of other atoms, including alkali, alkaline earth and heavy metals. Biomass does not include organic materials such as fossil fuels which have been transformed by geological processes such as coal or petroleum..
  • toroidal bed reactor refers to a reactor in which a material to be treated is embedded and centrifugally retained within a compact, but turbulent, toroidally circulating bed of particles which circulate about an axis of the processing chamber.
  • oxygen-depleted gas refers to a gas comprising a lower percentage of oxygen than in atmospheric air.
  • oxygen depleted gas has less than 20% oxygen, preferably between 1 and 15% and most preferably between 5 and 10% by volume.
  • the oxygen-depleted gas may contain steam in addition to the depleted levels of oxygen.
  • the oxygen level in the depleted gas is from 17 to 13% and preferably about 15%. Provided the residence times are controlled, this allows for optimal treatment and minimal difficulty in preparing and providing the oxygen depleted gas.
  • the gasification process according to the present invention is preferably conducted at a temperature of from 500°C to 1200°C, more preferably from 600°C to 950°C and most preferably from 650°C to 900°C. These are the temperatures to which the combusted gas and oxygen depleted non-combusted gas are preferably heated/preheated.
  • the carbonaceous feedstock is biomass feedstock.
  • suitable biomass feedstocks include wood, plant matter and waste (including sewage sludge and agricultural residues).
  • Wood includes forest residues such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps, yard clippings, wood chips and process residues.
  • Plant matter includes biomass grown from, for example, miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum or sugarcane, and includes straw and husks.
  • the biomass treated has a solid form and a useful calorific value. If the calorific value is too high or too low then the biomass may be initially
  • the syngas produced is recycled into the oxygen- depleted gas.
  • the syngas may be recycled several times.
  • the toroidal bed reactor is designed to operate using a near constant airflow which provides oxygen to carry out the gasification process and forms part of the fluid to mobilise the biomass feedstock. When the bed is run in a batchwise manner it would be expected that the use of a constant airflow would lead to changes in the oxygen to fuel ratio as the feedstock is gasified. If the flow of air were reduced to maintain the oxygen to fuel ratio the bed would eventually lose fluidisation. Both of these changes would have a negative effect on the gasification process.
  • the inventors have now realised that by recycling the syngas into the reaction chamber the oxygen to fuel ratio is kept constant. This ensures thorough processing of the feedstock with requiring complicated monitoring and control of the gas into the reaction chamber.
  • the oxygen depletion of the oxygen-depleted gas is controlled by adjusting the percentage of syngas recycled into the pre-heated oxygen-depleted gas introduced into the reaction chamber.
  • the oxygen levels present in the gasifier are less than 50%, more preferably less than 40% and most preferably less than 30% (by volume) of the amount required for complete combustion of the carbonaceous material.
  • the oxygen content is at least partially provided in the form of steam which can decompose to provide a source of oxygen and hydrogen under the gasification conditions.
  • oxygen depleted gas is atmospheric air blended with syngas due to the simplicity of the system that this allows.
  • the gasification of the biomass feedstock is controlled by regulating the rate at which the oxygen-depleted gas is introduced into the reaction chamber.
  • the presence of greater oxygen levels allows for faster rates of gasification and hence greater exothermic energy production.
  • the oxygen-depleted gas is pre-heated via a heat exchanger by the syngas produced.
  • the heat exchanger reduces the temperature of the syngas so that it can be used as a fuel.
  • the heat exchanger can be used to cool the gases passed to the reactor to reduce the gasification and shut-down the reactor, or to control the gasification reaction if it is proceeding too rapidly.
  • steps may be performed in any appropriate order and may be performed sequentially or in parallel, including partially overlapping. Accordingly, the system may be run continuously or batchwise. In particular, steps (a) and (b) are preferably performed before the remaining steps. Steps (c)-(e) are preferably performed simultaneously.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for the gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock according to the process described herein.
  • the apparatus comprises:
  • a toroidal bed reactor comprising a reaction chamber and means to generate a substantially circumferentially directed flow of fluid therein;
  • a combustion heater configured to provide a source of at least partially combusted gas
  • the apparatus in use, is switchable between:
  • the combustion heater is configured so that it can be isolated from the reaction chamber and/or switched off. This prevents the risk of having a live flame in the system contacting the syngas produced.
  • the combustion heater is configured so that when isolated from the reaction chamber the combustion heater can provide heat to the heat exchanger. This allows for efficient double use of the combustion heater and saves in equipment cost and system complexity.
  • the heat exchanger has surfaces which come into contact with the syngas and these are temperature-controlled to minimise condensation of tar within the heat exchanger. The inventors have found that gases produced from the gasification of biomass are often heavily laden with tars. These tars often lead to fouling of equipment where cold spots occur, which eventually leads to plant shutdown. The inventors have overcome this problem in the heat exchanger, and also throughout the system, by ensuring that the surfaces that contact the gas are kept at an elevated temperature.

  • the air supply can be used for easy cooling if the gases used become too hot.
