Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a gasification gas purification system and process. Background Art
[0002] As a renewable resource, the carbon emitted during the energy utilization of biomass is theoretically equal to the carbon fixed through photosynthesis during the growth of biomass, thus achieving a carbon-neutral cycle. Among all the ways of utilizing biomass, biomass gasification power generation technology, as a cutting-edge technology, has the advantages of flexible scale, high efficiency, and carbon neutrality. While solving the problem of reducing agricultural and forestry waste and recycling resources, it also provides clean electricity for rural areas, off-grid islands and other areas with distributed energy needs.
[0003] The raw gas produced from the gasifier inevitably contains a high content of tar, solid particles and other unexpected components, among which tar (i.e., all organic compounds with a boiling point above benzene) is particularly problematic. The biomass structure has a high volatile content, usually above 50%. This part of the volatile matter has weak thermal stability and is the first to precipitate in the thermochemical reaction, thus forming gas phase tar. Depending on the gasification form and raw materials, the tar content usually ranges from a few grams to tens of grams per standard cubic meter. The largest component in tar is monophenols (mainly phenol and guaiacol), followed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with a smaller content of one order of magnitude. Such substances are very easy to condense in the transmission pipeline (350-400°C), resulting in a series of problems such as pipeline blockage, valve jamming, metal corrosion, fan stoppage, etc., causing the system to shut down. Too high a tar content makes it difficult to burn out in an internal combustion engine, forming particulate matter such as carbon black. At the same time, the naphthalene component in the tar will form crystals at the air intake of the internal combustion engine. The tar will also contaminate the spark plug, causing problems such as ignition difficulty.
[0004] The current mainstream gas purification technologies can be generally divided into two categories: dry and wet. The dry method includes mechanical dust removal, high-temperature tar cracking and other measures, while the wet method is mainly water washing. The OLGA (OiL-based GAswasher) gas purification system developed by the Netherlands Energy Research Center is designed based on solvent absorption of heavy tar. It uses two-stage removal units to remove different types of tar. The heavy tar is washed with a special oily solvent for cooling and absorption. The light tar in the gas is further dissolved in the washing oil by absorption, and then the washing oil is regenerated by steam stripping (using water vapor or hot air). The results show that the heavy tar in the raw gas is removed relatively completely, and the gas dew point temperature is reduced to 25°C; most of the phenolic and heterocyclic components in the tar are successfully removed. East China University of Science and Technology, Gaoyou Linyuan Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenyang Gas and Thermal Research and Design Institute of the Ministry of Construction jointly developed a multi-stage tar removal system based on medium and normal temperature electrostatic precipitator (patent publication number CN 10974353B). This system is for fixed bed upper suction gasification furnace type. The raw gas first passes through the first stage water spray tower to cool from 1000℃ to 80℃, and most of the fly ash is removed at the same time. Then it passes through the medium temperature electrostatic precipitator, and then further cools to 30℃ through the intercooler before entering the normal temperature electrostatic precipitator to remove tar. Guangdong Zhengpeng Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd. discloses a biomass gas purification and waste heat recovery system (patent publication number CN104073297 B), which directly removes fly ash from the gas at high temperature through the filter chamber. At the same time, the filter chamber plays the role of high temperature cracking tar, and all heat sources are provided by the high temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of gasification gas.
[0005] In summary, the prior art has the following four defects: First, in the traditional wet washing, tar and fly ash are removed simultaneously. However, the contact between tar and fly ash can form a gel that is not easy to flow, causing transportation difficulties or even pipeline blockage; if the wet spraying adopts water solvent, alkaline wastewater will be further generated after washing, increasing the cost of water treatment; at the same time, due to the huge difference in polarity between water and tar components themselves, it is difficult to achieve similar miscibility, so the absorption effect of tar, especially the removal effect of light tar, is poor; second, a part of the fly ash produced by biomass gasification is usually concentrated in the section with a smaller diameter (<10μm), which Some fly ash is difficult to remove by conventional methods such as cyclone separation; third, the removal of tar by electrostatic precipitator requires additional high-power electricity; the electrodes in the electrostatic precipitator are easily contaminated, and the electrodes need to be protected by inert gas to avoid explosion hazards caused by increased oxygen content in the gasification gas due to system leakage and other factors; fourth, the temperature required for high-temperature cracking of tar is usually above 1000°C, while the conventional gasification gas outlet temperature is around 600-800°C, and additional high-temperature gas is required to maintain the heat required for cracking; although the addition of catalysts can reduce the temperature required for tar cracking, it will bring about problems such as catalyst coking and deactivation, and fly ash pollution.

The experimental methods in the following examples without specifying specific conditions are carried out according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] A gasification gas purification system, such as Figure 1, which includes a dust removal unit, a tar washing unit and a drying device 17; in view of the fact that fly ash in biomass gasification gas has a wide particle size distribution, the dust removal unit includes a cyclone dust collector 1, a gasification gas heat exchanger 2, a filter 3 and a spiral ash discharger 4; the cyclone dust collector 1 is provided with a gasification furnace gasification gas inlet, a dust removal ash outlet and a dust removal gasification gas outlet; the filter 3 is provided with a heat exchange gasification gas inlet, a filtering ash outlet and a filtering gasification gas outlet; the dust removal gasification gas outlet is connected to the heat exchange gasification gas inlet through a first connecting pipe, and the gasification gas heat exchanger 2 is arranged on the first connecting pipe; the dust removal gasification gas outlet and the filtering gasification gas outlet are connected to the ash inlet of the spiral ash discharger 4.
[0054] In this embodiment, the cyclone dust collector 1 is set as the first stage, and in other embodiments, it can be set as the first stage or the second stage according to the different dust content of the gasified gas. In this embodiment, the function of the gasification gas heat exchanger 2 is to lower the temperature of the gasified gas, and at the same time, the sensible heat of the high-temperature gasified gas can be used to heat the gasification agent required for the reaction of the upstream gasification system, such as air, water vapor, etc. In this embodiment, the gasification gas heat exchanger 2 can adopt the form of heat transfer and cooling by high-temperature heat transfer oil to prevent the tar in the gasified gas from precipitating during the rapid cooling process during the heat exchange of cold and hot gases.

[0058] In this embodiment, the absorption tower 9 is a packed tower, using multi-stage packing, and the packing adopts a regular geometric structure packing that is resistant to clogging. In this embodiment, the heating medium of the absorption liquid heat exchanger 10 is superheated steam. In other embodiments, the heating medium can be the medium heated by the gasification gas heat exchanger 2, such as thermal oil. The light tar m precipitated from the flash tank group contains a small amount of absorbent and water, which is sent to the gasification system for incineration to avoid secondary pollution caused by emissions. After a long period of continuous operation, the absorbent can no longer be regenerated by flash evaporation, and the absorption effect is difficult to meet the expected requirements.

[0060] Example 2
[0061] A gasification gas purification method, wherein the gasification gas to be purified has a gas molar composition of about 15.0% CO, about 13.0% CO2, about 23.3% H2, about 1.9% CH4, about 39.1% N2, about 0.8% O2, and about 7.0% H2O; and a tar content of about 600 mg / Nm 3 The main components of tar are phenol, guaiacol, cresol, benzene, toluene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, etc. The dew point of tar is about 200℃; the fly ash content is about 1.44g / Nm 3 , wherein the mass proportion of particles with a diameter <5 μm is 29.6%, the mass proportion of particles with a diameter 5 μm ≤ <10 μm is 44.4%, and the mass proportion of particles with a diameter ≥10 μm is 26%. The gasification gas purification system in Example 1 is used to purify the gasification gas, including the following steps:
[0062] S1. The gasified gas a at the outlet of the gasifier is initially separated from fly ash by the cyclone dust collector 1, and the gasified gas temperature drops by no more than 50°C. After heat exchange by the gasified gas heat exchanger 2, the gasified gas b after heat exchange is obtained. The temperature t1 of the gasified gas a at the outlet of the gasifier is 750°C, and the temperature t3 of the gasified gas b after heat exchange is 450°C. The gasified gas b after heat exchange is filtered by the filter 3 to obtain the gasified gas c after dust removal. The operating temperature of the filter 3 is 400-450°C, and the temperature t4 of the gasified gas c after dust removal is 350-400°C. The dust content reaches 30mg / Nm 3 In this embodiment, the filter element of the filter 3 is back-blown and regenerated by back-blowing gas r, and the back-blowing gas r is nitrogen. The temperature of the back-blowing gas r needs to be kept close to the dew point temperature of the gasification gas, for example, 300-400°C. In other embodiments, the back-blowing gas r can be the flue gas discharged after the internal combustion engine generates electricity.
[0063] S2, the gasified gas c after dust removal is sprayed by the first-stage spray tower 5 to obtain the gasified gas d at the outlet of the first-stage spray tower, with a temperature t5 of 150°C, and then sprayed by the second-stage spray tower 6 to obtain the gasified gas e at the outlet of the second-stage spray tower with a temperature t6 of 70°C. After two-stage spraying, most of the components with higher boiling points in the gasified gas, such as components with a molecular structure of more than three benzene rings, are basically removed, and components with a molecular structure of more than two benzene rings, such as naphthalene, are partially removed. The gasified gas e at the outlet of the second-stage spray tower further passes through the gas-liquid separator 7 to prevent fine droplets from being carried into the absorption tower 9, and the gasified gas f after heavy tar removal is obtained, with a temperature t7 of about 70°C, which basically does not contain heavy tar components with a molecular structure of more than three benzene rings, and does not contain solid particles at all. The spray liquid i discharged from the first spray tower 5, the second spray tower 6 and the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 7 all enters the liquid-liquid separator 8, and the separation adopts multi-stage static sedimentation. The upper supernatant forms a circulating spray agent h and enters the spray tower group, thereby forming a spray agent circulation. The heavy tar j at the bottom is discharged from the system and can be passed into the gasification system for combustion or enter the processing unit. In this embodiment, the spray agent is biodiesel.
[0064] The gasified gas f after heavy tar removal is absorbed by the absorption tower 9 to obtain the gasified gas g after light tar removal; the temperature t8 of the gasified gas g after light tar removal is 60°C. The absorption liquid k is first heated to 140°C by the absorption liquid heat exchanger 10. The heating heat source is the sensible heat of the gasified gas in the gasification gas heat exchanger 2. After being pressurized, it enters the flash tank group.

The required operating pressure can be provided by a vacuum pump. The light tar m precipitated from the flash tank group contains a small amount of absorbent and water, which is sent to the gasification system for incineration to avoid secondary pollution caused by emissions. The regenerated flash regenerated absorbent l is then cooled to 60°C by the absorbent heat exchanger 15 to obtain the circulating absorbent n and re-enter the absorption tower 9 for circulating absorption.
