Benefits of technology
[0018]The gasifier apparatus according to the invention has a number of advantages. Passage of cooling fluid through the membrane wall structure enables cooling of the heat shield.
[0019]The heat shield may, in at least a part thereof, be provided with a layer of refractory material to protect it against the heat of hot synthesis gas and falling slag, and to provide an insulating layer between the coolable heat shield membrane wall structure for avoiding unnecessary loss of heat from the gasification chamber.
Problems solved by technology
Since the free falling slag is molten and has a high temperature, the skirt is exposed to overheating damage.

Embodiment Construction
[0025]Referring to FIG. 1 there is schematically shown a bottom end of a gasifier apparatus, or gasifier 3, provided for the generation of synthesis gas comprising at least CO and H2. In a coal gasification plant this generally occurs by partially combusting a carbonaceous fuel, such as coal, at relatively high temperatures in the range of 1000′ C. to 3000° and at a pressure range of about 1 to 70 bar, preferably 7 to 70 bar, in the presence of oxygen or oxygen-containing gases in the coal gasifier. The gasifier 3 may be a vertical oblong vessel, having an outer shell in the form of a pressure shell 1, preferably cylindrical, with substantially conical or convex upper and lower ends.
[0026]A gasification chamber 2 is defined by a surrounding gasifier wall 4, which may be (and preferably is) a membrane wall structure for circulation of cooling fluid. Typically, the gasifier 3 will have burners (not shown) in diametrically opposing positions, through which oxygen and fuel are passed to...

Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus for gasifying a fuel to form synthesis gas wherein also a slag is formed. The apparatus comprises: a pressure shell; a slag bath; a gasifier wall; a free-fall trajectory for slag; and a heat shield. The gasifier wall is arranged inside the pressure shell defining a gasification chamber. It comprises a converging wall part that is provided with a slag discharge opening, located above the quench fluid in the slag bath. The heat shield is arranged above the slag bath between the free-fall trajectory and the pressure shell. The heat shield has a wall structure for allowing passage of a cooling fluid, the wall structure comprising an upper wall part and a lower wall part. The lower wall part of the heat shield is essentially refractory free.
Description
PRIORITY CLAIM AND CROSS REFERENCE[0001]This patent application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 791,156, filed May 18, 2007, which is a 35 U.S.C. 371 national stage filing of PCT / EP2005 / 056101 filed Nov. 21, 2005, which claims benefit of European patent application No. 04105970.0 filed Nov. 22, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for gasifying a fuel to form synthesis gas wherein also a slag is formed.[0003]Such a gasifier apparatus can be part of a gaseous, liquid or solid fuel gasification plant, such as a coal gasification plant.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]In a coal gasification plant a pulverised carbonaceous fuel, such as coal, is transformed into a product gas consisting mainly of synthesis gas. The gasification plant typically comprises a gasifier apparatus comprising a gasification reactor wherein the pulverised carbonaceous fuel is gasified under high pressure and high temperature ...
