PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR MOLTEN SLAG GASIFICATION OF SOLID FUELS

摘要

A process and an apparatus for molten slag gasification of solid fuels in a molten slag gasifier with increased output, an increased range of solid fuels that can be used and improved gas quality. The process is conducted such that, by means of a molten slag gasifier comprising a feed of the coarse-grained solid fuels and comprising a gas takeoff, both at the head of the molten slag gasifier, comprising a slag bath and comprising a slag bath takeoff at the bottom of the molten slag gasifier, comprising a feed for first gasifying means by means of gasifying means nozzles above the slag bath, comprising a filling of the fixed bed above the slag bath, in addition to the first gasifying means a second gasifying means are injected by way of at least one gasifying means nozzle that reaches into the upper region of the fixed bed.

1. A method for the slag bath gasification of solid fuels with oxygen and water vapour containing gasifying agents,
by means of a slag bath gasifier with a feed of coarse-grained solid fuels and with a gas vent, both on the head of the slag bath gasifier, with a slag bath and with a slag bath vent at the bottom of the slag bath gasifier, with a feed for first gasifying agents by means of gasifying agent nozzles above the slag bath, with a filling of the fixed bed above the slag bath, wherein second gasifying agents are injected additionally to the first gasifying agents by at least one gasifying agent nozzle extending into the upper area of the fixed bed filling that is situated at a vertical distance of at least 2 m above the feed of the first gasifying agents, wherein the second oxygen containing gasifying agents are injected with vapour/oxygen ratios, the values of which range between 0,6 and 5 kg/m3 (I.S.), wherein the second oxygen containing gasifying agents are injected with flow rates of at least 20 and maximally 120 m/s into the filling of the fixed bed so that turbulent swirl zones form as hollow spaces in the fixed bed filling before the outlet openings of the gasifying agent nozzles in which carbon burns with oxygen and the released ashes melt or sinter, and wherein the quantity of the injected oxygen of the second gasifying agents amounts to up to 50% of the total oxygen quantity that has been fed.
