<p>A process and apparatus for gasifying high moisture content carbonaceous material including the steps of: (a) introducing a solid first carbonaceous material into at least one pressurised drier vessel, the first carbonaceous material having a high moisture content above about 30 wt.% wet basis, (b) reducing the moisture content of the first carbonaceous material by passing hot flue gas, (c) having a low oxygen content through said pressurised drier vessels, transferring the dried first carbonaceous material from said pressurised drier vessels to a pressurised carboniser vessel, (d) partially gasifying said dried first carbonaceous material in said pressurized carboniser vessel to produce a high temperature fuel gas and a solid residual material, (e) transferring said solid residual material to a pressurised combustion chamber and (f) burning said solid residual material in said pressurised combustion chamber to produce said low oxygen content flue gas.</p> |
