The present invention relates to a pressurized gasification apparatus for dry powder of carbonaceous material, particularly to an apparatus for producing syngas by pressurized gasification of pulverized coal.
Gasification of the carbonaceous material (mainly coal) is one direction of the fuel utilization technologies, and its role is to convert a solid combustible material to a combustible gas or chemical feedstock for easy combustion, of which the main ingredient is a mixed gas of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In the gasification process of the carbonaceous material, the way of entrained flow gasification has the advantages of strong processing capability of single furnace, wide adaptability for coal types, high efficiency of carbon conversion and good loading regulation and the like, which represents the development direction of gasification technology in the future. There are two main forms of entrained flow gasification area, firebrick and water-cooling wall, in which the structure of firebrick is easily damaged at high temperature and the maintenance cost is high.
The subsequent processes of the high temperature mixture generated in the reaction are mainly waste boiler process and chilling process. In CN2700718Y, a waste boiler process is used, in which the waste heat can be recovered from the coal gas, but a single waste boiler needs to be set. The waste boiler process is relatively suitable for power generation field. In WO2008/065182 A1, a chilling process is used, wherein the purpose of reducing temperature and increasing humidity is achieved by water chilling. However, due to the reason of structure arrangement, there is an increasing phenomenon of water entrainment during the gasification when high loading operation, i.e. the proportion of the liquid water in the syngas produced by the device is increased.

The furnace body is divided into two parts, i.e. an upper furnace body and a lower furnace body by cone-shaped disk 18. The upper furnace body comprises the gasification chamber II and an annular cavity II-1 around the gasification chamber II, and the lower furnace body comprises a syngas cooling and purifying chamber III. A layer of fire-resistant material is evenly coated on the inner surface of the upper furnace body with a thickness of 5-100 mm to prevent overheat damage of the furnace body caused by various reasons on one hand, and on the other hand to decrease the temperature of the furnace body and reduce heat loss.

The high temperature mixture flowing from the outlet water-cooling wall 3 into the syngas cooling chamber III is firstly subjected to quick cooling through the syngas quencher 2, such that a liquid slag 25 is changed into a solid slag 26 and lose its viscosity, meanwhile the temperature of the syngas and fine ash is reduced to prevent from burning loss of vertical pipe 22. The preliminarily cooled syngas entrained with ash and slag flows into a slag pool through the vertical pipe 22 which is covered with a water film, and mixes with the water in the slag pool, so as to continue to decrease the temperature of the syngas entrained with ash and slag on one hand, and on the other hand to remove the ash and slag therein. The lower portion of the vertical pipe 22 is connected with a trumpet-shaped gas distribution device 24 via a smooth transition, and the gas distribution device 24 can be in different forms of structure as required, for example, in the form of an annular plate with pores or a number of circular girdle with sawteeth.

The protective gas is flowed into the observing tube 10 from an inlet flange for protective gas 11 to prevent the observing tube from being blocked by the high-temperature dust etc. in gasification chamber II. The industrial camera 7 observes the ignition conditions in gasification chamber II by means of the observing tube 10 through the transparent material layer 8, and passes the obtained information back to a control room of the apparatus where the ignition conditions can be observed by the operator.
The temperature monitoring system includes a temperature detecting device in the furnace 28, and a temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material 27. The head of temperature detecting device in the furnace 28 protrude from the fire-resistant material by 0-15 mm, and a layer of the temperature detecting device in the furnace 28 is arranged every other 800-1800 mm of height downward from the top of the vertical part of the body water-cooling wall, wherein 2-6 of the temperature detecting devices in the furnace 28 are arranged on each layer in the circumferential direction thereof, and the temperature detecting devices in the furnace 28 gets the distribution situation of the temperature field in the furnace through obtaining the temperature at the transition position of the liquid slag and solid slag of each detecting site during the gasification operation. The reading of the temperature detecting device in the furnace 28 will ascend quickly when the temperature in the furnace is too high, then the ratio of O/C of the material should be adjusted down. If the adjustment is not in time, the temperature detected by the temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material will exceed the safe temperature, then the gasification furnace should be shut off decisively so as to avoid damage of gasification furnace and ensure the safety of the equipment. The temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material 27 is 0-20 mm inwardly from the surface of the fire-resistant material, and also a layer of the temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material 27 is arranged every other 800-1800 mm of height downward from the top of the vertical part of the body water-cooling wall, wherein 2-6 of the temperature detecting devices in the furnace 28 are arranged on each layer in the circumferential direction thereof. The temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material 27 gets the distribution situation of the temperature field of the fire-resistant material in the furnace through real time monitoring of the temperature of the fire-resistant material at each monitoring site. The operational state of the apparatus can be known in real time through the temperature detecting system monitoring the temperature field distribution in the furnace, avoiding the disadvantages of time delay and strong subjectivity in judging the operation of the apparatus by indirect means such as observing slag samples or detecting the components of syngas etc. It not only ensures the temperature in the furnace constantly being at high level, improves the gasification efficiency, and simplifies the operation, but also effectively prevents the damage of the fire-resistant material and the water-cooling wall caused by the abnormal operation of the apparatus.
The basic principle of the present invention is that: the dry powder of carbonaceous material and gasification agent (oxygen and steam, or oxygen-enriched air and steam) are reacted quickly and incompletely under high temperature and high pressure (temperature: 1200° C.-2000 ° C., pressure: 1 MPa-10 MPa) to generate a high temperature syngas (whose main ingredient is CO and H2), a liquid slag and a flying ash (whose main ingredient is inorganic salt), which are subjected to quenching and deashing processes to obtain the crude syngas.
At the start of the apparatus operation, fuels for ignition (natural gas, diesel oil and the like) and gasification agent (oxygen or oxygen-enriched air) are sprayed into the gasification chamber II from a burner via the feeding inlet I and ignited. The ignition condition in gasification chamber II is observed by the flame-observing system. If no flame is detected, the inlet of the fuels and the gasification agent should be cut off in time, and nitrogen should be injected for replacement to prevent an explosive accident; if fire is detected, then the fuels for ignition and the gasification agent is continued to be sprayed into the gasification chamber II until both the pressure and the temperature in the gasification chamber II reach a certain value (pressure: 0.1-2.0 MPa, temperature: 300-1500° C.), and then the dry powder of carbonaceous material and the gasification agent are sprayed into proportionally. By this time, the ignition conditions in the gasification chamber II is still observed by the flame-observing system, and if the ignition is stable, the cut-off valve 9 of the observing system is shut off, and the pressure and the temperature in the gasification chamber II is continued to be increased.
When the pressure and the temperature of the apparatus are increased to the normal working state (temperature: 1200° C.-2000° C., pressure: 1 MPa-10 MPa), the furnace body 14 is the main pressure-containing member, and the water-cooling walls 3, 4, 5 are the main high temperature-resistant member. The protective gas, carbon dioxide is continuously flowed into the annular cavity between the upper furnace body 14 and the water-cooling walls 3, 4, 5 with a pressure slightly higher than that of gasification chamber II. The dry powder of carbonaceous material and the gasification agent are continuously sprayed into the gasification chamber II in proportion and reacted quickly and incompletely in a high temperature and high pressure environment to form a high temperature syngas, a liquid slag and a fine ash with the main ingredients of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. A part of the liquid slag directly flows towards the syngas-cooling chamber III accompanied with the syngas and fine ash, and the other part of the liquid slag is thrown to the water-cooling walls on which two layers of slag, i.e., a solid slag 26 layer and a liquid slag 25 layer are formed, in which the solid slag adheres to the fire-resistant material of the water-cooling wall 16 and the liquid slag contacted with the solid slag continuously flows into the syngas-cooling chamber III along the water-cooling wall via the outlet flange under the action of gravity. The temperatures of gasification chamber and the fire-resistant material are monitored by observing the values of the temperature detecting device in the furnace 28 and the temperature detecting device for fire-resistant material 27, and the temperature of gasification chamber II are increased by adjusting the proportion of the dry powder of carbonaceous material and the gasification agent under the condition that all the detecting sites are not overheat.
The high-temperature syngas, liquid slag and flying ash flowing from the gasification chamber II into the syngas-cooling chamber are rapidly cooled under the action of syngas quencher 2, in which the temperatures of the liquid slag and the flying ash both are reduced to temperatures lower than the melting point thereof and lose their viscosity, preventing from damaging the vertical pipe 22. The syngas, high-temperature solid slag and flying ash exchange heat by means of radiation and convection in the vertical pipe 22, thereby further decrease the temperature and increase the steam content in the syngas. The solid slag and fine ash flowing out from the vertical pipe 22 are mostly flowed into the slag pool under the action of gravity and inertia and captured by the slag water, and a part of the syngas inside the slag pool flows out along the small pores of the gas distribution plate 24, and the other part of the syngas flows out from the bottom of gas distribution plate 24 upwardly. The syngas flowing out from the gas distribution plate 24 changes the flow direction under the action of the baffle 23, strengthening the capture effect of the slag water on ash and decreasing the ash in the crude syngas on one hand, and on the other hand, preventing the big bubbles from appearing, which is favorable to avoiding ash and water entrainment when increasing load. The crude syngas flows through layers of the defoaming plate 1 above the baffle 23 and changes the flow direction continuously, such that the kinetic energy for water and ash entrainment in the crude syngas is reduced, and the entrainment of water and ash by the syngas is decreased. The syngas flowing through the defoaming plate passes through the dewatering and deashing device 21, the water entrained in the syngas is further separated, and the entrainment of water and ash in the syngas is further decreased, which is especially capable of preventing the aggravated phenomenon of water and ash entrainment under the high loading conditions. The crude syngas processed after the above procedures is transported to a subsequent process from the syngas outlet 20. The slag in the slag pool is discharged from the slag outlet IV intermittently.
