Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a biomass fluidized bed gasification system and gasification method suitable for green hydrogen coupling. Background Technology

[0002] Since my country's energy structure is dominated by coal, its high energy consumption and high carbon emissions severely restrict my country's economic and social development. Promoting the greening and decarbonization of economic and social development is a key link in achieving high-quality development and a fundamental strategy for solving my country's resource, environmental and ecological problems.

[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 devices that combine water electrolysis for green hydrogen production with biomass gasification, the elimination of the conversion unit means that downstream devices no longer have corresponding technical requirements for the water-to-gas ratio of the gasification unit, resulting in significant energy waste in the original quenching process. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the energy waste caused by the quenching process in existing water electrolysis hydrogen production coupled with biomass gasification systems. This invention provides a biomass fluidized bed gasification system and gasification method suitable for green hydrogen coupling, with a high heat recovery rate.

[0008] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0009] A biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for green hydrogen coupling includes: a fluidized bed gasifier, a first cyclone separator, an oxidative cracking furnace, a waste heat boiler, a second cyclone separator, a dust collector, and a water washing tower; the fluidized bed gasifier, the first cyclone separator, the oxidative cracking furnace, the waste heat boiler, the second cyclone separator, the dust collector, and the water washing tower are sequentially connected along the syngas flow direction to form a syngas flow path;

[0010] 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 sides of the distribution plate, the slag discharge outlets are disposed at the bottom of the distribution plate, the first gasifying agent inlets are disposed around the slag discharge outlets and are closer to the slag discharge outlets than the fluidizing agent inlets; the aperture of the first gasifying agent inlet is larger than the aperture of the fluidizing agent inlet.

[0011] 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.

[0012] 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.

[0013] 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.

[0014] The fluidized bed gasifier of the present invention improves the reaction temperature and forms a central high-temperature zone by setting fluidizing agent ports on the side of the distribution plate and gasifying agent ports 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 ports 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 ports 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.

[0015] 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°.

[0016] In this invention, preferably, the inclination angle A1 of the feed inlet is the same as the inclination angle A4 of the cone 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.

[0017] 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.

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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°.

[0020] 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] In this invention, preferably, a plurality of fluidizing agent outlets are uniformly distributed on the distribution plate.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] In this invention, the diameter of the first gasifying agent inlet is preferably 10-200 mm, for example 80 mm.

[0028] In this invention, an air inlet pipe is preferably also provided in the slag discharge port, the air inlet pipe forming a second gasifying agent port, and an annular area for slag discharge is provided between the air inlet pipe and the slag discharge port. When the second gasifying agent port is not provided in the slag discharge port, the outer wall of the air inlet pipe no longer comes into contact with high-temperature ash slag, thereby eliminating the problem of air inlet pipe wear.

[0029] 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.

[0030] In this invention, the orifice diameter of the fluidizing agent port is preferably 2-10 mm, for example 5 mm or 7 mm.

[0031] 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°.

[0032] 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.

[0033] In this invention, the distribution plate is made of metal and / or non-metallic refractory materials.

[0034] 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 fluidizing 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] The hole structure on the connecting part can be conventional in the art, such as through holes or mesh holes.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] More preferably, the leak-proof assembly further includes a first support member and a second support member, wherein the first support member, the leak-proof part, and the second support member are sequentially arranged from top to bottom in the support groove, and both the first support member and the second support member are metal mesh structures. 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.

[0041] In this invention, the biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for green hydrogen coupling preferably further includes a first inlet water pipeline and a heat exchanger. The first inlet water pipeline is connected to the steam drum of the waste heat boiler, and the heat exchanger is connected to the connecting pipelines of the dust collector and the water scrubbing tower, as well as the first inlet water pipeline. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the connecting pipelines and the first inlet water pipeline, further utilizing the waste heat in the syngas. The first inlet water pipeline is used to introduce water into the steam drum.

[0042] The heat exchanger is conventional in the art and generally includes a first port and a second port. The first port is connected to the first water inlet pipe, and the second port is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0043] In this invention, it is understood that the fluidized bed gasifier is generally also provided with a syngas outlet, a fly ash return port and a slag discharge port. The syngas outlet is connected to the syngas inlet of the cyclone separator, and the fly ash return port is connected to the fly ash discharge port of the cyclone separator.

The material leg device is conventional in the art.

[0048] In this invention, it is understood that the oxidative cracking furnace is a conventional device in the art for oxidizing methane and some hydrocarbons in syngas to crack them into CO and H2. By setting up the oxidative cracking furnace, the content of effective gas (H2, CO) can be increased.

[0049] It is understood that the oxidative cracking furnace described in this invention generally does not have a quench zone.

[0050] The oxidative cracking furnace is generally equipped with a syngas inlet and a syngas outlet. The syngas inlet is connected to the syngas outlet of the cyclone separator, and the syngas outlet is connected to the gas inlet of the waste heat boiler.

[0051] Preferably, the syngas inlet and the syngas outlet are located at the top and bottom of the oxidative cracking furnace, respectively.

[0052] The oxidative cracking furnace is preferably a non-catalytic oxidative cracking furnace, which, compared with a catalytic conversion furnace, can reduce catalyst deactivation or blockage caused by H2S and fly ash in the crude syngas.

[0053] In this invention, it is understood that the waste heat boiler is a conventional device used in the art to recover the heat of syngas from an oxidative cracking furnace. For example, the waste heat boiler includes a steam drum, an evaporator, and a superheater, both of which are connected to the steam drum. The evaporator uses the high-temperature syngas entering the waste heat boiler to heat water, converting the waste heat of the high-temperature syngas into steam or hot water. The superheater further heats the steam or hot water, increasing its temperature and pressure, allowing it to reach higher temperatures and pressures to meet different process requirements.

[0054] The waste heat boiler is generally equipped with a syngas inlet and a syngas outlet for introducing and discharging syngas.

[0055] Preferably, the syngas inlet and the syngas outlet are located at the top and bottom of the waste heat boiler, respectively.

[0056] Preferably, the waste heat boiler is a fire-tube boiler, which is conventional in the art. The high-temperature gas velocity inside the fire tubes prevents fly ash and alkali metals from depositing, effectively resisting alkali metal scaling and corrosion. The boiler tubes are preferably made of 20G steel, which provides excellent resistance to chloride ion corrosion.

[0057] Preferably, the bottom of the steam drum is also connected to a sewage discharge device for discharging sediment from the bottom of the steam drum.

[0058] In this invention, it is understood that the second cyclone separator is a conventional device used in the art for separating gas and solids in syngas exiting the waste heat boiler. The second cyclone separator generally has a syngas inlet, a syngas outlet, and a fly ash outlet. The syngas inlet of the second cyclone separator is connected to the syngas outlet of the waste heat boiler, and the syngas outlet of the second cyclone separator is connected to the inlet of the dust collector.

[0059] The fly ash outlet is preferably located at the bottom of the second cyclone separator, the syngas inlet is preferably located on the upper side of the second cyclone separator, and the syngas outlet is preferably located at the top of the second cyclone separator.

[0060] In this invention, it is understood that the dust collector is a conventional device in the art for further dust removal from the syngas exiting the second cyclone separator. The second cyclone separator generally has a syngas inlet, a syngas outlet, and a fly ash outlet. The syngas inlet of the dust collector is connected to the syngas outlet of the second cyclone separator, and the syngas outlet of the dust collector is connected to the inlet of the water scrubbing tower.

[0061] The fly ash outlet is preferably located at the bottom of the dust collector, the syngas inlet is preferably located on the lower side of the dust collector, and the syngas outlet is preferably located on the upper side of the dust collector.

[0062] In this invention, the biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for green hydrogen coupling preferably further includes a fly ash return pipeline. One end of the fly ash return pipeline is connected to the fly ash outlet of the second cyclone separator and the fly ash outlet of the dust collector, and the other end of the fly ash return pipeline is connected to the return port of the fluidized bed gasifier, so as to return the fly ash collected by the second cyclone separator and the dust collector to the fluidized bed gasifier and improve the carbon conversion rate.

[0063] Preferably, the fly ash return pipeline is also equipped with a fly ash return device. The fly ash return device includes a buffer hopper, a lock hopper, and a sending hopper connected in sequence.

[0064] In this invention, it is understood that the water washing tower is a conventional device in the art for further washing syngas. The water washing tower is generally equipped with an air inlet, an air outlet, a ash water outlet, and a water inlet, with the air inlet connected to the syngas outlet of the dust collector.

[0065] Preferably, the air outlet and the ash water outlet are respectively located at the top and bottom of the water washing tower, the air inlet and the ash water circulation return outlet are preferably both located on the lower side of the water washing tower, and the water inlet is preferably located on the upper side of the water washing tower.

[0066] Preferably, the biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for green hydrogen coupling also includes an ash water return pipeline. The two ends of the ash water return pipeline are connected to the ash water outlet of the water washing tower and the water inlet of the water washing tower, respectively, for returning the ash water from the water washing tower to the water inlet for recycling. A pump is installed on the ash water return pipeline.

[0067] The water inlet of the water washing tower may also be provided with a second water inlet pipe, which is used to supply the industrial water to the water washing tower.

[0068] This invention also proposes a biomass fluidized bed gasification method suitable for green hydrogen coupling, which uses the aforementioned biomass fluidized bed gasification system suitable for green hydrogen coupling, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0069] Biomass raw materials are 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 a gasification reaction. The resulting crude syngas is then processed sequentially through the first cyclone separator, the oxidative cracking furnace, the waste heat boiler, the second cyclone separator, the dust collector, and the water washing tower.

[0070] In this invention, when the aforementioned second vaporizing agent port is also included, the vaporizing agent is introduced through the second vaporizing agent port.

[0071] In this invention, when the aforementioned first inlet water pipe and heat exchanger are used, during the processing, the heat in the connecting pipe and the first inlet water pipe is exchanged through the heat exchanger.

[0072] In this invention, the biomass raw materials are conventional, such as wood, straw, rice husks, and reeds.

[0073] In this invention, the biomass raw material is conventional, such as one or more combinations of wood, wheat, corn stalks, rice husks, and reeds.

[0074] In this invention, the maximum particle size of the biomass raw material particles is preferably <10mm.

[0075] In this invention, it is understood that the fluidizing agent and the gasifying agent are conventional in the art.

[0076] 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%.

[0077] 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%.

[0078] In this invention, the feed rates of the fluidizing agent and the gasifying agent can be adjusted according to actual working conditions. 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.

[0079] In this invention, the temperature of the gasification reaction is conventional in the art, for example, 700~1300℃, for example, 820℃.

[0080] In this invention, the pressure inside the fluidized bed gasifier is conventional in the art, for example, 0.5~80 barg, such as 40 barg.

[0081] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0082] (1) When the system of the present invention is coupled with green hydrogen, the downstream device has no requirement for the water vapor ratio of the gasification system, thus eliminating the need for the downstream conversion device. At the same time, the system of the present invention improves the heat recovery rate.

[0083] (2) The system heat recovery rate of the present invention exceeds 98%, and the steam production per unit effective gas is about 1 t of steam, which greatly saves energy consumption; while the traditional gasification technology using the quench process has a heat recovery rate of only about 75%, and a large amount of high-grade heat above 1000°C is directly quenched by cooling water for the needs of subsequent conversion devices, resulting in serious waste.

[0084] (3) The system of the present invention has a fly ash return pipeline and a high temperature zone in the fluidized bed gasifier, which can completely digest the fly ash returned to the fluidized bed gasifier by the dust collector and the second cyclone separator. The entire gasification device has no fly ash discharge, and its carbon conversion rate can reach more than 99%, and it solves the environmental protection problem. In contrast, the traditional biomass gasification technology has no fly ash return pipeline and its carbon conversion rate is only about 80% due to the absence of fly ash return pipeline. This not only results in a large amount of biomass consumption, but also makes fly ash difficult to treat as hazardous waste.

[0085] (4) 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%.

[0127] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0128] Example 1

[0129] This embodiment discloses a fluidized bed gasifier, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, it includes a gasifier body 101 and a distribution plate 102 within the gasifier body 101.

[0130] The gasifier body 101 is provided with two feed inlets 1011. The axis of the feed inlet 1011 intersects the central axis of the gasifier body 101, so that the feeding direction is directly in the center direction of the gasifier body 101.

[0131] The feed inlet 1011 is located above the distribution plate 102. The distance Hf between the lower edge of the feed inlet 1011 and the upper edge of the distribution plate 102 is 0.18m. The inner diameter Di of the gasifier body 101 is 3.3m, and the total height is 25m. The axis of the feed inlet 1011 is inclined towards one end of the slag discharge port 1023, and the inclination angle A1 of the feed inlet 1011 relative to the horizontal plane is 45°.
