Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal water slurry gasification, and particularly relates to a gasification slurry preheating device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gasification is one of the core technologies for clean and efficient utilization of carbon-containing substances such as coal, waste and biomass, and the synthesis gas produced by gasification can be used to develop coal-based chemicals, coal-based fuels, and can be used in IGCC power generation, poly-generation system, hydrogen production and other processes. Traditional entrained flow bed gasification uses wet feeding method, that is, carbon-containing substances such as coal, waste and biomass are processed into coal water slurry, waste slurry, biomass slurry and the like with a solid content of about 50-70% by a mill and the like, and then are sent into a gasification furnace by a slurry pump and the like. Wet feeding is conducive to stable conveying of raw materials and pressurized gasification, and requires that the slurry viscosity is not higher than 1.2 Pa·s. The slurry viscosity increases with the increase of solid content and decreases with the increase of temperature. However, since the inlet temperature of the slurry into the gasification furnace is relatively low (close to room temperature) and the temperature in the gasification furnace is higher than 1200℃, the slurry will absorb a large amount of heat to increase the temperature after entering the gasification furnace, which requires more energy consumption and is not conducive to improving the gasification efficiency. In particular, in winter in northern China, the viscosity of coal water slurry increases greatly, and in order to meet the viscosity standard, the solid content of the slurry needs to be reduced, and high viscosity is also very unfavorable for nozzle atomization, resulting in a decrease in coal slurry gasification efficiency.

[0003] In summary, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to develop a preheating device capable of preheating coal slurry and improving the coal slurry gasification efficiency. SUMMARY

[0023] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0024] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The present application provides a gasification slurry preheating device, please see the description of the drawings Figure 1 to the attached Figure 2 , the application includes a preheating furnace 1, the side wall of the preheating furnace 1 is provided with steam inlet 13 and condensate outlet 14, the steam inlet 13 is communicated with the steam supply device outside, providing high temperature steam for the preheating furnace 1, the bottom of the preheating furnace 1 is provided with coal slurry inlet 11 and coal slurry outlet 12, the coal slurry inlet 11 transports the coal slurry to be preheated into the preheating furnace 1, the coal slurry outlet 12 transports the preheated coal slurry into the coal slurry gasification device, preferably, a plurality of preheating pipes 2 are arranged in the preheating furnace 1, both ends of each preheating pipe 2 are communicated with the coal slurry inlet 11 and the coal slurry outlet 12 respectively, it should be noted that each preheating pipe 2 is symmetrically arranged around the axis center of the preheating furnace 1, the outer diameter of each preheating pipe 2 is gradually reduced towards the axis direction of the preheating furnace 1, so that each preheating pipe 2 can be nested, when the high temperature steam input by the steam inlet 13 enters the preheating furnace 1, each nested preheating pipe 2 can fully contact the high temperature steam, so as to improve the preheating effect of the present application on the coal slurry.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the steam inlet 13 is in communication with the waste heat pipe of the coal slurry gasification device, the steam inlet 13 receives high-temperature steam generated in the condensation process in the coal slurry gasification device and inputs the high-temperature steam into the preheating furnace 1. In the process of starting to input the high-temperature steam, the valve of the coal slurry inlet 11 is closed. The high-temperature steam heats the preheating furnace 1 and the preheating pipes 2. Avoiding that the preheating furnace 1 and the preheating pipes 2 with lower temperature absorb the heat of the high-temperature steam after the coal slurry is directly input into the preheating pipes 2. The heat absorbed by the coal slurry in the preheating pipes 2 is reduced, and the coal slurry cannot reach the target temperature, thereby reducing the gasification efficiency of the coal slurry. Further, after the preheating furnace 1 and the preheating pipes 2 are heated, the valve of the coal slurry inlet 11 is opened. The coal slurry inlet 11 inputs the coal slurry into the preheating furnace 1. The coal slurry is divided into several streams by the preheating pipes 2.

Compared with the coal slurry that is not preheated, the coal slurry treated by the present application requires less energy to reach the reaction temperature. The coal slurry treated by the present application has a higher gasification rate at the same reaction temperature. In addition, the high-temperature steam used for preheating in the present application is a by-product of the coal slurry gasification device. The present application also improves the energy utilization rate of the coal slurry gasification process and reduces the production cost of the coal slurry gasification.
