INDUSTRIAL FURNACE INTEGRATED WITH BIOMASS GASIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An integrated apparatus of industrial furnace and biomass gasification system and a process of operating said system are disclosed. Hot flue gas containing high concentration of CO2 and water issued from an industrial furnace such as a glass furnace or a melting furnace for non‐ferrous metals is introduced into a biomass gasification system as a heat source to promote the pyrolysis of biomass and/or as a gasification agent to generate syngas. The generated syngas is blended with solid‐fuel such as petcoke before being introduced into the industrial furnace to facilitate ignition and combustion of petcoke. Overall CO2, NOx and SOx emission from the industrial furnace are reduced, and the lifetime of the industrial furnace is increased.
