METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GASIFYING CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL

摘要

Method and apparatus for gasifying carbonaceous material, in which (a) product gas and ash, residual carbon and gasified tar compounds entrained therewith are discharged from a gasifying reactor to a product gas channel and cooled in a gas cooler, whereby tar compounds condense in a liquid state and tend to stick on heat surfaces; (b) solids containing ash particles and residual carbon separated from the gasification system, preferably from its product gas, are supplied to an ash reactor, in which the residual carbon reacts with oxygen and ash particles and exhaust gas is generated; and (c) ash particles are supplied to the gas cooler or upstream from the gas cooler, whereby the ash content entrained with the product gas increases and the sticking of condensing tar compounds on the heat surfaces decreases.
