Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomass gasification to syngas technology, and in particular to a biomass gasification system and gasification method. Background Technology

[0002] Biomass, as a renewable resource, is characterized by abundant resources, wide geographical distribution, and stable energy reserves. The production of syngas from biomass gasification for the production of sustainable aviation fuel, green methanol, and other high-end green chemicals plays a vital role in achieving a low-carbon economy and building a green renewable energy system.

[0003] Biomass gasification technology is mainly divided into fixed-bed gasification, fluidized-bed gasification, and entrained gasification. Patent CN202898353U discloses a multi-stage fixed-bed biomass gasifier, which includes a longitudinally arranged furnace body. The furnace body includes a conical tailings section at the bottom and at least two gas-producing sections above the tailings section. Patent CN101560411A discloses an upward-suction household biomass gasification device, which is a vertical cylindrical structure. Its structure consists of an upper section of dry distillation chamber, a middle section of main gasification chamber, and a lower section of ash chamber. Each section is separated by a regenerator grid and a regenerator grate. The main gasification chamber is surrounded by a radiating cylinder. Patent CN108559548A discloses a biomass fluidized-bed gasifier, including a furnace body and pipes. The upper and top parts of the outer wall of the furnace body are covered with an insulation layer. A water jacket is located from the upper part of the outer wall to the bottom, and a steam outlet is provided at the top of the water jacket. During the gasification process, the energy generated by the reaction is exchanged with the cooling water in the water jacket, recovering some of the energy. Patent CN113105917A discloses a biomass fluidized bed multi-stage gasifier device. The internal structure of the gasifier is divided into a lower high-temperature combustion chamber, a middle high-temperature pyrolysis chamber, and an upper steam gasification chamber, which uses biomass as raw material to produce high-calorific-value gasified gas and high-quality biochar / activated carbon.

[0004] The aforementioned patented gas components contain a large amount of tar and methane, which can easily clog downstream equipment and reduce the content of effective gases CO and H2, making them unsuitable for the synthesis of downstream chemical products.

[0005] Biomass itself has low energy density, high volatile matter content, high oxygen content, high alkali metal content, and high chloride ion content. Its ash component is mainly SiO2, and its properties differ greatly from those of coal, specifically in the following ways:

[0006] (1) Fixed-bed gasification technology has high requirements for the strength and thermal stability of raw materials. The biomass gasification process is unstable, oxygen flow in the furnace is biased, the gasifier outlet temperature is too high, and the wastewater contains substances such as tar and phenol, which are difficult to treat. The gas at the gasifier outlet contains a large amount of tar and methane. The tar will block the pipeline when it condenses downstream, and the presence of methane will reduce the effective gas CO and H2, which is not conducive to downstream chemical synthesis.

[0007] (2) Fluidized bed gasification has relatively broad requirements for raw materials, without requirements for strength, thermal stability, pulverization, and viscosity-temperature characteristics. However, currently operating fluidized bed biomass gasification units mainly use atmospheric air gasification, primarily for boiler combustion power generation, which is not suitable for the needs of chemical synthesis. Moreover, simple fluidized bed gasification also has problems such as high tar and methane content and low carbon conversion rate.

[0008] (3) The gasification temperature of the fluidized bed is relatively high, the syngas contains no tar and has a very low methane content, but it requires the raw material particle size to be in the micrometer range, the pretreatment is complicated, the energy consumption is extremely high, and it is difficult to ensure the stable delivery of the raw material line. The ash slag has a high silicon-aluminum ratio, making it difficult to achieve "slag-to-slag" and unable to guarantee the long-term operation of the gasifier.

[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an economical and reliable biomass gasification technology for the synthesis of sustainable aviation fuels and green methanol and other chemical products. Summary of the Invention

It mixes with the gasifying agent introduced through the oxygen channel and undergoes a pyrolysis reaction. During the reaction, cooling water is introduced into the burners through the inner / middle / outer cooling water channels to cool and protect the burners. The high-temperature pyrolysis gas after the pyrolysis reaction enters the radiant waste heat boiler along the furnace. After being cooled by the membrane wall heat exchange, the boiler water is simultaneously heated, converting it into high-temperature, high-pressure steam. After recovering heat through the radiant waste heat boiler, the pyrolysis gas enters the quench module along the furnace. After cooling and preliminary dust removal in the quench module, the pyrolysis gas enters the syngas washing unit.

After flash cooling, the black water enters the settling tank for settling and clarification, and then enters the ash water tank. The ash water in the ash water tank is stripped and returned to the syngas washing unit for recycling.

[0043] Preferably, the pressure of the high-temperature pyrolysis unit in the fluidized bed is 50 kPag to 8 MPa (g), and the temperature is 1000℃ to 1300℃.

[0044] A biomass gasification method, using the above system, includes the following steps:

[0045] (1) Biomass is pressurized by the pressurized feeding unit and then transported to the fluidized bed gasification unit;

[0046] (2) Biomass reacts with gasifying agent in fluidized bed gasifier to produce syngas. After dust removal by high temperature cyclone separator, crude syngas is formed. Bottom ash is discharged after cooling and depressurization by ash discharge unit.

[0047] (3) After the crude syngas and the gasifying agent are mixed in the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace of the fluidized bed, tar and methane pyrolysis reaction occurs. The tar and methane in the crude syngas are converted into effective gases CO and H2 at high temperature.

[0048] (4) The high-temperature pyrolysis gas after the pyrolysis reaction is washed by the syngas washing unit to form dust removal syngas, and the black water generated by the washing enters the slag water unit.

[0049] Preferably, the biomass gasification method specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] S1: Biomass is pressurized by the pressurized feeding unit and then transported to the fluidized bed gasification unit;

[0051] S2: Biomass reacts with gasifying agent in fluidized bed gasifier to produce syngas. After dust removal by high-temperature cyclone separator, crude syngas is formed. Bottom ash is discharged after cooling and depressurization by ash discharge unit.

[0052] S3: After the crude syngas and gasifying agent are uniformly mixed at the burner in the fluidized bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace, tar and methane pyrolysis reactions occur, and the temperature is raised to 1000℃~1300℃. The tar and methane in the crude syngas are converted into effective gases CO and H2 at high temperature.

[0053] S4: The high-temperature pyrolysis gas after the pyrolysis reaction passes through the radiant waste heat boiler to convert the boiler water into high-temperature and high-pressure steam. After recovering the heat, it enters the quench module to be cooled to 200℃~250℃ and is washed to remove most of the ash and slag.

[0054] S5: The quenched syngas is washed by a Venturi scrubber, a hydrocyclone separator and a water scrubbing tower to form dust-removed syngas, which is then sent out of the system.

[0055] S6: The black water generated by the quench module, hydrocyclone separator and water washing tower enters the slag water unit for flash evaporation, cooling, settling and clarification. The solid ash slag is discharged outside the boundary after dewatering, and the clarified ash water is returned to the syngas washing unit for recycling.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] 1. This invention provides a stable and cost-effective system for producing high-quality syngas from biomass.

[0058] 2. This invention provides a pressurized biomass gasification system that couples fluidized bed and entrained flow bed, combining the advantages of both while overcoming their respective shortcomings. It features wide applicability of raw materials, high effective gas content, no tar, and low energy consumption.

[0059] 3. The raw materials of this invention are widely adaptable. Straw, fruit shells, rice husks, furfural residue, agricultural product processing residues, timber, organic solid waste, and domestic waste can all be used as raw materials. There are no special requirements for the ash content, ash melting point, volatile matter content, fixed carbon content, drop strength, thermal stability, raw material particle size distribution, viscosity-temperature characteristics, etc. of biomass.

[0060] 4. The present invention has a high carbon conversion rate. The carbon-containing fly ash generated by the gasification system is further gasified in the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace, resulting in a carbon conversion rate of >98%.

[0061] 5. This invention produces high-quality syngas. A high-temperature pyrolysis furnace further converts the syngas produced in the gasification furnace, cracking the tar and methane in the syngas at high temperatures. Burners ensure uniform mixing of the syngas and oxygen produced in the gasification furnace, avoiding localized high temperatures and short-circuiting problems of tar and methane caused by point-to-point oxygen supply, resulting in complete tar conversion and a methane conversion rate >98%. Existing syngas tar and methane purification methods generally employ water washing or catalytic methods. Water washing generates large amounts of tar-containing wastewater, and catalytic methods can lead to catalyst blockage and poisoning. The dust content of the syngas outside the boundary area in this invention is <1 mg / Nm³. 3 This solved the blockage problem in downstream devices.

[0062] 6. This invention boasts high energy recovery rate and operational reliability. Utilizing a radiant waste heat boiler and a quench coupling system, a large amount of high-temperature, high-pressure steam is generated simultaneously with syngas cooling, improving energy recovery rate. It eliminates the need for a complex syngas cooler and an expensive dust collector system, while simultaneously solidifying alkali metals to prevent contamination of the syngas cooler by alkali metals and fly ash, thus avoiding shutdowns caused by ash accumulation, wear, and corrosion in the syngas cooler and dust collector. The large water circulation volume in the quench process washing tower ensures a chloride ion concentration of <25ppm in the washing system, preventing corrosion problems caused by excessively high chloride ion concentrations in pipelines and equipment.

[0063] 7. This invention has low overall energy consumption. It adopts pressurized pure oxygenation, resulting in a low content of impurity gases in the syngas, high syngas pressure, low load on the purification system, and low power consumption in the synthesis compression process.

[0064] 8. This invention is environmentally friendly. The syngas contains no tar components, the slag is discharged dry, and the wastewater contains no tar, phenols, or other difficult-to-treat substances.

[0065] 9. This invention can reduce alkali metal radiation, reduce the risk of corrosion, scaling and blockage, and is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the system.

[0066] 10. This invention has low unit effective gas biomass and oxygen consumption, low investment, economical syngas cost, and high product quality. It can be used to produce sustainable aviation fuel, green methanol, and other high-end green chemical products. Attached Figure Description

[0101] The bottom of the fluidized bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 41, the hydrocyclone separator 52, and the water washing tower 53 are connected to the slag and water system through pipelines. The outlet of the slag and water system is connected to the bottom of the water washing tower 53. The middle and lower part of the water washing tower 53 are connected to the middle and lower part of the fluidized bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 41 through pipelines.

[0102] The gasification furnace system and the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace system are connected to the gasification agent.

[0103] The fluidized bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 41 includes a burner 411, a radiant waste heat boiler system (radiant waste heat boiler 412), and a quench system (quench module 413).

[0104] A pressurized biomass gasification method coupling a fluidized bed and an entrained flow bed includes the following steps:

[0105] Step 1: The bed material and biomass are pressurized by the pressurized feeding system and then enter the gasifier;

[0106] Step 2: Biomass reacts with gasifying agent in the gasifier to produce syngas. After passing through a high-temperature cyclone dust collector, crude syngas is formed. The bottom ash is discharged after being cooled and depressurized by the ash discharge system.

[0107] Step 3: After the crude syngas and gasifying agent are uniformly mixed at the burner in the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace, tar and methane pyrolysis reactions occur, and the temperature is raised to 1000℃~1300℃. The tar and methane in the crude syngas are converted into effective gases CO and H2 at high temperature.

[0108] Step 4: The high-temperature pyrolysis gas passes through the radiant waste heat boiler, where it converts the boiler water into high-temperature and high-pressure steam. After recovering the heat, it enters the quench system and is cooled to 200℃~250℃. Most of the ash and slag are also washed away.

[0109] Step 5: The quenched synthesis gas is washed by a venturi, cyclone and scrubbing tower to form dust-removed synthesis gas, which is then sent out of the system;

[0110] Step Six: The black water generated by the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace quench system, hydrocyclone separator and water washing tower enters the slag water system for flash evaporation, cooling, settling and clarification. The solid ash slag is discharged outside the boundary after dewatering, and the clarified ash water is returned to the washing system for recycling.

[0111] Example 5

[0112] A pressurized biomass gasification device coupling fluidized bed and entrained flow bed is disclosed. Biomass a is sieved, crushed, dried and granulated to form granules, which are then stored in biomass bin 11. After being pressurized by biomass lock hopper 12, it enters biomass sending hopper 13. The pressurizing gas can be one or a mixture of N2, CO2 or syngas. The biomass in biomass sending hopper 13 enters the gasification furnace system (fluidized bed gasification unit 2) by pneumatic conveying.

[0113] Gasifying agent b is connected to the gasifier system. Within the gasifier system, biomass reacts with the gasifying agent to produce syngas. The gasification pressure is 50 kPag to 8 MPa (g), and the gasification temperature is 700℃ to 950℃. The ash-containing syngas from the gasifier (fluidized bed gasifier 21) outlet passes through a high-temperature cyclone separator 22 for dust removal and then enters a high-temperature pyrolysis furnace (flow bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 41). The fly ash collected by the high-temperature cyclone separator 22 is returned to the gasifier via the feed leg for further gasification.

[0114] The bottom slag discharge port of the gasifier is connected to the slag discharge buffer tank 31. After the high temperature slag is discharged into the slag buffer tank 31 to cool down, it passes through the slag lock hopper 32 for depressurization and further cooling, and then is discharged into the slag bin 33.

[0115] The high-temperature pyrolysis furnace system (fluidized bed high-temperature pyrolysis unit 4) includes burners 411, a furnace chamber, a radiant waste heat boiler 412, and a quench system (quench module 413). Gasifying agent b is connected to burner 411 via a pipeline. Inside burner 411, it mixes with the crude syngas after dust removal by the high-temperature cyclone separator 22, undergoing a high-temperature pyrolysis reaction. This converts tar and methane into effective gases CO and H2. The pyrolysis furnace pressure is 50 kPag–8 MPa(g), and the pyrolysis temperature is 1000℃–1300℃. The high-temperature pyrolysis gas is cooled by the radiant waste heat boiler 412, generating high-temperature, high-pressure steam to recover the heat from the syngas. The cooled pyrolysis gas is then cooled to 200℃–250℃ by the quench system, and most of the ash is removed. The washed pyrolysis gas e enters the Venturi scrubber 51, and the ash is discharged into the slag water system (slag water unit 6) through the slag pool.

[0116] After the fly ash and water in the syngas are thoroughly mixed in the Venturi scrubber 51, they enter the hydrocyclone separator 52 for further separation of the syngas and solid-containing black water. The separated syngas then enters the water washing tower 53 for further washing, ensuring that the ash content in the syngas h is <1 mg / Nm³. 3 The black water containing solids generated from the hydrocyclone separator 52 and a portion of the bottom water from the washing tower 53 is discharged into the slag-water system for flash evaporation, cooling, settling, and clarification. The solid ash residue is discharged outside the boundary after dewatering, and the clarified ash water g is returned to the washing system for recycling. Another portion of the black water from the bottom water from the washing tower 53 is used as quench water f in the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace to enter the quench system to cool the pyrolysis gas.

[0117] In this embodiment, the biomass used is corn granular straw. The gasifying agent is 99.6% oxygen by volume, and the transport gas is CO2. The fluidized bed gasifier operates at a pressure of 4.0 MPa and a temperature of 800°C, while the entrained flow bed high-temperature pyrolysis furnace operates at a pressure of 4.0 MPa and a temperature of 1200°C. The carbon conversion rate is >98%, and the composition of the produced syngas is: H2 30-35%, CO 35-40%, CO2 25-30%, CH4 <0.4%, and it is tar-free.
