Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a biomass fluidized bed gasification system and gasification method suitable for downstream conversion devices. Background Technology
[0003] Biomass resources are one of the world's zero-carbon clean resources. my country's annual output of biomass from agricultural and forestry waste exceeds 1 billion tons, but the current utilization rate is less than 50%. Converting it into high-end fuels and chemicals through biomass gasification technology has significant social and economic benefits.
[0004] Biomass contains a high content of alkali metal K and halogen Cl, which results in a low ash melting point and makes it prone to problems such as slagging, clogging, corrosion and scaling.
[0005] The methane present in biomass syngas is a useless purge gas for subsequent chemical synthesis, and its presence increases raw material and power consumption.
[0006] For biomass gasification units with downstream conversion converters, the use of waste heat boiler processes would require a large amount of steam to be added to the conversion converters due to the steam-water ratio requirements of the conversion converters, resulting in higher energy consumption and investment. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the biomass gasification system with downstream conversion device in the prior art has high energy consumption due to the use of waste heat boiler process. The present invention provides a biomass fluidized bed gasification system and gasification method suitable for downstream conversion device. The system of the present invention eliminates the need for the downstream conversion device to supplement steam, thus saving consumption and investment.
[0008] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0009] This invention proposes a biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for downstream conversion devices, comprising: a fluidized bed gasifier, a cyclone separator, an oxidative pyrolysis furnace, a Venturi scrubber, a hydrocyclone separator, and a water washing tower;
[0010] The fluidized bed gasifier, the cyclone separator, the oxidative cracking furnace, the venturi scrubber, the hydrocyclone separator, and the water washing tower are connected sequentially along the syngas flow direction to form a syngas flow path; the oxidative cracking furnace is provided with a quench zone;
[0011] The fluidized bed gasifier includes a gasifier body and a distribution plate disposed at the bottom of the gasifier body; the distribution plate is conical, and is provided with a plurality of fluidizing agent inlets, a first gasifying agent inlet, and a slag discharge outlet; the fluidizing agent inlets are disposed on the side of the distribution plate, the slag discharge outlet is disposed at the bottom of the distribution plate, the first gasifying agent inlets are disposed around the slag discharge outlet and are closer to the slag discharge outlet than the fluidizing agent inlets; the aperture of the first gasifying agent inlet is larger than the aperture of the fluidizing agent inlet.
[0012] The gasifier furnace body is provided with a feed inlet, which is located above the distribution plate and is inclined towards the slag discharge port; all the fluidizing agent ports located directly below the feed inlet are inclined towards the slag discharge port.
[0013] In this invention, it is understood that the fluidized bed gasifier is a conventional gasifier used in the art for gasifying biomass feedstock to generate syngas, wherein the syngas generally mainly includes H2, CO, CO2, methane and some hydrocarbons.
[0014] It is understood that when the distribution plate of the present invention is installed in the fluidized bed gasifier, the distribution plate is placed in an inverted cone shape at the bottom of the fluidized bed gasifier, that is, the end with the larger diameter of the distribution plate faces upward and the end with the smaller diameter of the distribution plate faces downward.
[0015] The fluidized bed gasifier of the present invention improves the reaction temperature and forms a central high-temperature zone by setting fluidizing agent inlets on the side of the distribution plate and first gasifying agent inlets around the slag discharge port. This eliminates tar and expands the range of the central high-temperature zone of the gasifier, reducing the problem of slagging in the central high-temperature zone while eliminating tar. At the same time, by setting the fluidizing agent inlets inclined towards the slag discharge port below the feed port, on the one hand, the material can quickly enter the central high-temperature zone of the gasifier for reaction, bringing the tar above into the high-temperature zone and quickly gasifying the tar. On the other hand, the downward-facing fluidizing agent inlets have a certain flushing effect on the distribution plate, which can effectively prevent slag from agglomerating and forming large slag blocks that block the slag discharge port.
[0016] In this invention, the inclination angle A1 of the feed inlet relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 30~80°, for example 45° or 60°.
[0017] In this invention, preferably, the inclination angle A1 of the feed inlet relative to the horizontal plane is the same as the inclination angle A4 of the conical surface of the distribution plate relative to the horizontal plane. If the inclination angle of the feed inlet (i.e., A1) is too small, large feed particles will fall parabolically and hit the distribution plate, and most particles will not be able to accelerate to the center. If the inclination angle of the feed inlet (i.e., A1) is too large, the feed particles will aggravate the wear of the distribution plate.
[0018] In this invention, the distance Hf between the lower edge of the feed inlet and the upper edge of the distribution plate is preferably 0~Di, for example 0.48Di or 0.072Di, where Di refers to the inner diameter of the gasifier body.
[0019] In this invention, preferably, the axis of the feed inlet intersects the central axis of the gasifier body, such that the feed direction is directly opposite the center direction of the gasifier.
[0020] In this invention, the slag discharge port is preferably further provided with an air inlet pipe, which forms a second gasifying agent port, and an annular area for slag discharge is provided between the air inlet pipe and the slag discharge port.
[0021] In this invention, the inclination angle A2 of the fluidizing agent port, which is inclined toward one end of the slag discharge port, relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 0~30°, but does not include 0°, for example 15°.
[0022] In this invention, it is understood that, except for all the fluidizing agent ports located directly below the feed inlet, the axis of the remaining fluidizing agent ports may be inclined towards one end of the slag discharge port, or towards one end away from the slag discharge port, or in a horizontal direction. Preferably, the axis of the remaining fluidizing agent ports is inclined towards one end away from the slag discharge port or in a horizontal direction; furthermore, the chord length L2 of the region formed by all the fluidizing agent ports inclined towards the slag discharge port is L1~10L1, where L1 is the diameter of the feed inlet. If the width of the feed acceleration zone is too narrow, it cannot guarantee that all feed can be accelerated; if it is too wide, it not only accelerates the feed but also accelerates the entry of peripheral ash and slag into the central high-temperature zone, competing for the gasifying agent, resulting in incomplete gasification.
[0023] The distribution plate is divided into a feed acceleration zone and a bed fluidization zone along its circumference. All the fluidizing agent ports that are inclined toward the end of the slag discharge port are located in the feed acceleration zone, and the chord length of the feed acceleration zone is L2. The remaining fluidizing agent ports are located in the bed fluidization zone.
[0024] Furthermore, the remaining portion of the fluidizing agent inlet has an inclination angle A3 of 0~45° relative to the horizontal plane, for example 0°. The inclination angle A3 refers to the angle between the axis of the fluidizing agent inlet and the horizontal plane, and the positive angle refers to the horizontal upward.
[0025] In this invention, a plurality of fluidizing agent outlets are uniformly distributed on the distribution plate.
[0026] The number and distribution of fluidizing agent ports are optimized according to the scale of gasification feed. Generally, 5 to 10 layers of fluidizing agent ports are distributed sequentially from the top to the bottom of the distribution plate. Each layer includes multiple fluidizing agent ports that are evenly distributed along the circumference of the distribution plate. The spacing between two adjacent layers of fluidizing agent ports along the axial direction of the distribution plate is preferably 100 to 300 mm.
[0027] In this invention, preferably, the axis of the first gasifying agent inlet is parallel to the central axis of the distribution plate. The gasifying agent is ejected from the first gasifying agent inlet, driving high-speed turbulence in the bubbling fluidized bed region, thereby enhancing the mass transfer, heat transfer, and high-temperature reaction processes in the central region and the upper bubbling fluidized bed region.
[0028] In this invention, preferably, multiple first gasifying agent ports are evenly distributed along the circumference of the slag discharge port, for example, three ports. The distance between the axis of the first gasifying agent port and the axis of the slag discharge port is preferably 200-500 mm, for example, 300 mm. If this distance is too small, the gas ejected from the first gasifying agent port will obstruct the descending ash from entering the slag discharge port, resulting in poor slag discharge; if the distance is too large, unreacted carbonaceous ash will enter the slag discharge port, resulting in excessively high carbon content in the discharged slag and wasting raw materials.
[0029] In this invention, the slag discharge port is preferably further provided with an air inlet pipe, which forms a second gasifying agent port, and an annular area for slag discharge is provided between the air inlet pipe and the slag discharge port.
[0030] Preferably, the diameter of the second gasifying agent port is 30-70% of the diameter of the slag discharge port. More preferably, the diameter of the second gasifying agent port is 100-200 mm, for example, 150 mm, and the diameter of the slag discharge port is 200-300 mm, for example, 250 mm.
[0031] In this invention, the diameter of the first gasifying agent inlet is preferably 10-200 mm, for example 80 mm.
[0032] In this invention, the orifice diameter of the fluidizing agent port is preferably 2-10 mm, for example 5 mm or 7 mm.
[0033] In this invention, the angle of inclination A4 of the cone surface of the distribution plate relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 30~80°, for example 45° or 60°.
[0034] In this invention, the fluidizing agent inlet is used to introduce the fluidizing agent, and the first gasifying agent inlet is used to introduce the gasifying agent.
[0035] In this invention, the distribution plate is made of metal and / or non-metallic refractory materials.
[0036] In this invention, a leak-proof component is preferably provided on the fluidizing agent inlet to prevent ash and slag from flowing back to the outside of the distribution plate. The leak-proof component preferably includes a connecting portion and a leak-proof portion. One end of the connecting portion is connected to the leak-proof portion, and the outer diameter of the other end of the connecting portion matches the aperture of the fluidizing agent inlet. The leak-proof portion is provided with a porous structure for the gasifying agent to pass through, and the pore size of the porous structure is 0.1~500μm. The connecting portion is provided with a perforated structure for the fluidizing agent to pass through. The porous structure only allows the gasifying agent to pass through, making it difficult for ash and slag to pass through, thereby preventing ash and slag from flowing back to the outside of the distribution plate. The leak-proof component is connected to the fluidizing agent inlet by inserting the other end of the connecting portion into the fluidizing agent inlet.
[0037] Preferably, the leak-proof part is a block, and the block is provided with the porous structure. The block is made of one or more of the following: metal wire mesh, metal fiber, metal powder and ceramic.
[0038] Preferably, the pore size of the porous structure is 0.1~120μm, for example 5~25μm. If the pore size of the porous structure is too large, ash and slag will clog the porous structure; if it is too small, it will affect the fluidization effect of the fluidizing agent.
[0039] The hole structure on the connecting part can be conventional in the art, such as through holes or mesh holes.
[0040] Preferably, the connecting part includes a first support and a sleeve. The first support has a support groove, and the bottom of the support groove has a first through hole. The leak-proof part is disposed in the support groove. One end of the sleeve has a flange, the outer diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the fluidizing agent inlet and smaller than the inner diameter of the support groove. The flange is located within the support groove. The outer diameter of the other end of the sleeve matches the diameter of the fluidizing agent inlet. In this preferred embodiment, the first through hole and the tube hole of the sleeve form a hole structure for the fluidizing agent to pass through. When the leak-proof component is assembled in the fluidizing agent inlet, the other end of the sleeve is inserted into the fluidizing agent inlet, the flange is engaged with the outer periphery of the fluidizing agent inlet, and the gasifying agent enters the furnace body through the second through hole, the porous structure in the leak-proof part, and the first through hole.
[0041] More preferably, the connecting part further includes a second support, which is a sleeve structure. The second support is sleeved on the outside of the flange, and the first support is threaded to the outside of the second support. During installation, the end of the second support can be fixed to the back of the distribution plate by welding, and the first support is threaded to the second support, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the leak-proof component.

The aperture of the metal mesh structure is preferably 0.1~1mm. The first support member and the second support member prevent the leak-proof part from deforming due to compression.

[0067] This invention also proposes a biomass fluidized bed gasification method suitable for downstream shift converters, which employs the aforementioned biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for downstream shift converters, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0068] Biomass feedstock is introduced through the feed inlet, fluidizing agent is introduced through the fluidizing agent inlet, and gasifying agent is introduced through the first gasifying agent inlet to carry out the gasification reaction. The resulting crude syngas is then processed sequentially through the cyclone separator, the oxidative cracking furnace, the Venturi scrubber, the hydrocyclone separator, and the water washing tower.

[0073] In this invention, when the washing liquid inlet of the Venturi scrubber is connected to the sludge-water unit, the gasification method further includes: using the liquid portion obtained by the sludge-water unit as the washing liquid of the Venturi scrubber.
[0074] In this invention, it is understood that the fluidizing agent and the gasifying agent are conventional in the art.
[0075] The fluidizing agent may be oxygen, a mixture of oxygen and steam, a mixture of oxygen, steam and nitrogen, or a mixture of oxygen, steam and carbon dioxide. When the fluidizing agent is a mixture of oxygen and steam, the oxygen content in the mixture is preferably 10-20%, for example, 10%.
[0076] The vaporizing agent may be oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and steam. When the vaporizing agent is a mixture of oxygen and steam, the oxygen content in the mixture is preferably 30-60%, for example, 40%.

In some embodiments, the feed rate of the fluidizing agent can be 0.2~2m / s, for example 0.3m / s; the feed rate of the gasifying agent can be 20~80m / s, for example 60m / s.
[0078] In this invention, the temperature of the gasification reaction is conventional in the art, for example, 700~1300℃, for example, 820℃.

[0081] In this invention, the maximum particle size of the biomass raw material particles is preferably <10mm.
[0082] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:
[0083] (1) In the traditional waste heat boiler process, the water vapor content in the syngas at the outlet of the water washing tower is extremely low, around 0.02%. However, the system of the present invention adopts a quench process, and the water vapor ratio can be around 0.8. The downstream conversion device does not need to supplement water vapor, saving consumption and investment.
[0084] (2) Since biomass contains a large amount of alkali metals, if the waste heat boiler process is used, it is easy to cause scale and corrosion of the waste heat boiler. However, the system of the present invention adopts the quench process, and the alkali metals are carried into the water system by the quench water. The concentration is very low and there will be no scale and corrosion.
[0085] (3) Since biomass contains a large amount of chloride ions, if the waste heat boiler process is used, the chloride ion content at the water washing tower is as high as 5000~10000ppm, which causes serious corrosion of the water washing system pipeline. However, the system of the present invention adopts a quench process, and the water circulation can dilute the chloride ion concentration, which can reduce the chloride ion content at the water washing tower to below 50~500ppm, which can effectively solve the chloride ion corrosion problem.
[0086] (4) The temperature at the flame of a general oxidative cracking furnace is very high, which will cause some fly ash to melt. If a waste heat boiler process is used, it will cause problems such as blockage and scaling of the waste heat boiler. However, the system of the present invention adopts a quench process, and the molten slag and fly ash are carried to the slag water system for treatment by the quench water, so there is no blockage problem.
[0087] (5) The fluidized bed gasifier in the system of the present invention has a high-temperature oxidation zone, which can fully crack the tar, effectively reduce the tar content at the outlet of the fluidized bed gasifier or make the outlet of the fluidized bed gasifier free of tar, and the effective gas in the syngas can reach more than 65%, which greatly improves the yield of effective gas from biomass gasification; while for traditional biomass gasification technology, due to the influence of slagging in the gasifier, the gasification temperature cannot be increased, and the tar content is 50~100g / Nm 3The presence of methane (above 10%) results in a low effective gas content in the syngas, below 50%.
