<p>Fuel such as bituminous coal, lignite, wood, straw and similar, is carbonized at approximately the atmospheric pressure in a first stage by indirect heating between 300 and 600 C while stirring constantly (1). The hot gases released are mixed with preheated air and partially burnt (27) in a second stage. Simultaneously, they are thermally cracked at temperatures comprised between 850 and 1200 C, and they are passed through a reaction zone (35) comprised of low carbonization coke obtained during the first stage. In a third stage, the coke is subjected to a partial combustion, for example by means of air and steam. The gas mixture being initially at a temperature comprised between 900 and 1200 C is sucked through a reaction zone formed with the low carbonization coke where the gas temperature is reduced due to an endothermal reaction and where the calorific capacity of the gases is simultaneously increased. Those gases and the gases coming from the second stage are conveyed towards heat-exchangers (44 to 46) and to gas scrabbers (61). </p> |
