Fluidized bed gasification

Coal of up to 8 mm grain size is withdrawn from a bin, screw-fed to a coal Iqck and continuously introduced through the side of the gasifier shaft. In the case of the HTW, the screw feeders deliver the feed pneumatically to the coal locks, which are then pressurized to the gas generator pressure. Steam and 

At present, three classical Winkler gasifiers are still operating throughout the world no new ones have been built for the past 25 years. The only commercial HTW gasifier so far was conceived as a demonstration plant for a coal throughput of approximately 30l/h and has been operating for several years now. The gas is used to produce methanol. Its coal throughput meets the demand of a 400 tpd methanol plant. Another HTW plant of the same size is currently under construction.

These mathematical representations are complex and it is necessary to use numerical techniques for the solution of the initial-boundary value problems associated with the descriptions of fluidized bed gasification. The numerical model is based on finite difference techniques. A detailed description of this model is presented in (11-14). With this model there is a degree of flexibility in the representation of geometric surfaces and hence the code can be used to model rather arbitrary reactor geometries appropriate to the systems of interest. [The model includes both two-dimensional planar and... 

The chemistry component of the model is, in most aspects, identical to the chemistry of the classical models of fluidized bed gasification. A major difference between the classical reactor models and the present fluidized bed coal gasifier computer model is that the classical models require specification of the bed hydrodynamics, such as bubble size. The present model can predict bubble size and the associated solids mixing. Again it is expected that the two types of models are complimentary. The present model can be used to define the hydrodynamics in the hot reactive environment and these hydrodynamics (e.g., bubble size) can then be used as...

Under most of the wood fluidized bed gasification conditions, benzene turns out to be the dominant element among tar species [23] a simplification is therefore made in the model by considering benzene and naphthalene to be the main tar compounds. A first order reaction rate from Van Den Aarsen [17] was adopted in the model. Since the bubble phase is assumed to be solid free, the char generated in the bubbles through tar...

The second phase of the refuse program, fluidized bed gasification, incorporates heat and energy balances, gas analyses and environmental monitoring. Because of initial difficulties with feeding systems, the evaluation is not yet complete. Typical gas analysis are shown in Table II. 

So it was decided to concentrate on more fundamental aspects of pyrolysis and gasification and to limit large scale work to collaboration projects with industry, such as the development of small boilers for firing miscellaneous -wastes, moving bed carbonization of wood slabs, fluidized bed gasification and pyrolysis and moving bed gasifiers for various applications of the product gas [ 2 1 ...
