A facility for the continuous supply of a coal gasification plant with finely ground fuel material is disclosed. The fuel is first stored in a storage tank and then fed to a lock hopper system, where it is supplied with gas for the coal gasification reaction. The lock hopper system consists of at least two lock hoppers to achieve that the gas is injected quasi-continuously, and the fuel is then passed to a feed tank in which a constant filling level prevails over a given period of time, so that the fuel is conveyed in a constant, smooth and pressurised flow from this feed tank to the burners. The transfer from at least two lock hoppers to a least one feed tank is carried out by pneumatic dense-flow conveying at solid material densities of at least 100 kg/m3 and a differential pressure of at least 0.5 bar so that it is possible to arrange the facility components at the same geodetic height or different geodetic heights so as to achieve a space saving and flexible plant construction. The invention also relates to a process for the continuous and uniform supply of finely ground fuel to a coal gasification reactor. |
