Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy and power, specifically to a biomass external combustion heating pyrolysis and gasification reaction device. Background Technology
[0002] Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that decomposes fuels such as coal and biomass into gases, liquids, and coke at high temperatures. Typically, pyrolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen or under an inert gas atmosphere, with temperatures ranging from several hundred to several thousand degrees Celsius. The properties of the pyrolysis products are mainly influenced by factors such as temperature, reaction time, feedstock type, and reactor type. Gasification is a process that converts carbon-based fuels into syngas at high temperatures and in a gasifying agent atmosphere. The temperature range for gasification is typically between 600 and 1500 degrees Celsius, and the gasifying agent is usually oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The main components of syngas are carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane, with the proportions depending on the fuel and reaction conditions. Pyrolysis and gasification technologies are mainly used in the chemical industry, combined cycle power plants, and gas production.
[0003] In existing pyrolysis and gasification technologies, the heat generated from the combustion of fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal is typically used to heat the pyrolysis furnace and gasification furnace. However, existing heating methods also have drawbacks such as fuel grade mismatch, high energy consumption, and high carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, there is a need to find a low-carbon and economical heating method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the issues of high carbon dioxide emissions and fuel grade mismatch in existing pyrolysis and gasification technologies for heating, this invention proposes a pyrolysis and gasification reactor for biomass external combustion heating, comprising:

[0020] The gas conveying device and the gas product collecting device are equipped with heat exchangers. The two heat exchangers are connected, or the gas conveying device and the gas product collecting device share a heat exchanger, which is used to provide the gas product heat recovered by the gas product collecting device to the gas conveying device to preheat the gas introduced into the reactor.
[0021] Preferably, the gas conveying device includes multiple conveying channels, each equipped with a ball valve, a manual regulating valve, a safety valve, a flow meter, temperature and pressure measuring elements, and a first heat exchanger, enabling the introduction of various gases, temperature and pressure monitoring, and flow control; the ball valve controls the inflow of different types of gases, realizing the conversion between reactor pyrolysis and gasification functions; the manual regulating valve regulates the flow rate of the conveying channels; the safety valve controls the on / off connection between the gas conveying device and the reactor; the first heat exchanger preheats the gas, with the heat from the heat released by the cooling of gas products in the gas product collection device; and the flow meter and temperature and pressure measuring elements monitor the gas flow rate, temperature, and pressure.

[0035] Beneficial effects:
[0036] (1) This invention utilizes the heat generated by burning biomass in a furnace to heat the pyrolysis or gasification process. Since biomass is a carbon-neutral fuel, it does not produce additional carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, biomass is a low-grade fuel, which reduces the use of high-grade fuels. Compared to traditional heating methods, external combustion of biomass for heating reduces heating costs and carbon dioxide emissions.
[0037] (2) The gaseous products discharged from the reactor outlet still have a high temperature and have the potential for waste heat recovery. This invention recovers the heat of the gaseous products to heat the inlet gas of the reactor, thus realizing the recovery and utilization of the heat of the gaseous products.
[0038] (3) Existing reactors typically only contain a single function of pyrolysis or gasification, and cannot integrate the functions of pyrolysis and gasification. In this invention, the type and flow rate of the gas entering the reactor can be adjusted by a gas conveying device, so that the reactor can integrate the functions of pyrolysis and gasification.
[0039] (4) In this invention, the temperature sensing element can monitor the internal temperature of the reactor. By controlling the biomass mass and air volume entering the biomass burner, the biomass combustion is controlled, thereby controlling the combustion temperature inside the furnace and achieving temperature regulation inside the reactor.
[0040] (5) In this invention, the positions of the gas conveying device and the gas product collecting device can be interchanged. The above structure can change the gas inlet direction in the reactor. Attached Figure Description

[0082] Step b3. Introduce air supply 60, 62 and biomass 61, 63, and start biomass burners 26 and 33 to start biomass combustion. The generated high-temperature flue gas 74 heats reactor 22. The outlet flue gas is cooled by condenser 29 and discharged. By observing the reading of the temperature measuring element, adjust the amount of air supply and biomass input to make the reactor reach the temperature required for gasification.
[0083] Step b4. After the fuel is dried and crushed, it is placed in the screw feeder 19. When the set temperature required for the pyrolysis reaction is reached, the screw feeder is started to input the fuel above the solid material distributor 20 so that the fuel enters the reactor 21 evenly.
[0084] Step b5. The fuel undergoes a thermal gasification reaction in the reactor 21. After the predetermined reaction time is reached, valves 47 and 53 are opened. The syngas enters the heat exchanger 48 to preheat the gasification agent 54, and then enters the water-cooled coil condenser 50 for cooling. Subsequently, the syngas is discharged from the gas product outlet 66 and collected.
[0085] Step b6. Open the manual high-temperature and high-pressure butterfly valves 36 and 39. The ash produced by gasification is cooled by the water cooling jackets 35 and 37 and then enters the star-shaped discharge machine 40. The ash is discharged through the discharge hopper 41. Open the valves 42 and 44. The high-temperature gas in the discharge hopper 41 is cooled by the condenser 43 and then discharged.
