The invention discloses a gasification method and gasification furnace of
coal seams based on
branch wells, and aims to solve the problems that a gasification technique of
coal seams is high in cost and low in
recovery ratio in the prior art. The gasification method comprises the following steps: after finishing drilling construction, enabling gasification channels to be run-through, respectively downwards placing packers or guidance devices in different
branch wells, downwards placing gas injecting devices in corresponding
branch wells through the guidance devices, injecting a gasifying agent, confirming the gasifying time of
coal seam regions to be gasified through calculation, and completing the gasifying process of the coal seam regions to be gasified; replacing the packers or the guidance devices in the branch wells, completing the gasifying process of the coal seam regions to be gasified of all branch wells, and outputting generated
fuel gas to the ground through gas exhaust wells. Through the adoption of the gasification method disclosed by the invention, the fixed point quantitative controllable injection of the gasifying agent is realized, the process of gas generation is stable, the demands of the
deep processing of
fuel gas are satisfied, the gasification
coal mining output and the
recovery ratio of single well are effectively increased, besides, the service life of each gas
injection well is prolonged, the cost of building furnaces and drilling is reduced, and the cost of ground construction and operation is reduced.
