Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of biomass pyrolysis gasification and methane production, in particular to a system for producing methane by biomass pyrolysis gasification. Background Art
[0002] At present, the conventional biomass gasification technology mixes biomass raw materials with oxygen and steam through a single-stage fixed bed or fluidized bed reactor, and a chemical reaction occurs below 1000°C to generate raw syngas. In addition to components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane, the raw syngas also contains difficult-to-treat tar and other impurities. Tar in the syngas is prone to condense and deposit in the low-temperature areas of downstream devices, causing pipeline blockages, reducing the overall production efficiency of the gasification process, and bringing high operation and maintenance costs. To solve the tar problem at the gasifier outlet, generally, the temperature at the gasifier outlet is increased (>1300°C) through a partial oxidation device, but this causes problems such as low content of effective gases (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, etc.) in the raw syngas, high oxygen consumption of the entire gasification system, and low cold gas efficiency of gasification.

[0078] The working process of the system for producing methane by biomass pyrolysis gasification of the present utility model is as follows:
[0079] The biomass raw material first enters the material mixing zone 102 of the riser reactor 1 and is fully mixed with the high-temperature solid heat carrier from the bubbling fluidized bed under the action of the fluidizing gas from the gas chamber 101 of the riser reactor and passing through the first gas distributor 5, and a rapid pyrolysis reaction occurs to generate pyrolysis products (including pyrolysis gas rich in oil products and pyrolytic char). These pyrolysis products enter the first gas-solid separator 9 after passing through the rapid lifting zone 103 of the riser reactor 1. The function of the rapid lifting zone 103 is to shorten the residence time of the pyrolytic char in the reactor and prevent the reduction of the gasification activity of the char. The gas outlet temperature of the first gas-solid separator 9 is 500 - 600 °C, and the pressure is 3.0 - 7.0 MPaG. The pyrolysis gas rich in oil products flows out from the pyrolysis gas outlet 10 rich in oil products and undergoes the next pyrolysis gas washing treatment. After separating the oil products, a part is returned to the bottom of the riser, and the other part enters the carbon monoxide conversion device. For specific treatment, refer to the part of the method for producing methane by biomass pyrolysis gasification. The separated pyrolytic char enters the dense reaction zone 202 of the bubbling fluidized bed through the pyrolytic char outlet 11 of the first gas-solid separator 9 via the first gas-solid separator downcomer 12. The pyrolytic char is fully mixed with hydrogen, water vapor from the gas chamber and passing through the second gas distributor 15, and oxygen and steam at the nozzle outlet in the bubbling fluidized bed reactor 2 and undergoes intense chemical reactions. Among many chemical reactions, the main reactions are the exothermic reaction of carbon and hydrogen in the dense reaction zone 202 to generate methane, and the endothermic reaction of carbon and water vapor to generate hydrogen and carbon monoxide; the exothermic reaction of water vapor and carbon monoxide in the dilute phase reaction zone 203 to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The generated raw syngas mainly contains methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc. Part of the gasified char will enter the second gas-solid separator 23 along with the raw syngas. The gas outlet temperature of the second gas-solid separator 23 is 800 - 900 °C, and the pressure is 3.0 - 7.0 MPaG. The separated gasified char returns to the dense reaction zone 202 of the bubbling fluidized bed through the gasified char outlet 25 of the second gas-solid separator 23 via the second gas-solid separator downcomer 26. Part of the gasification slag is discharged from the gasifier through the slag outlet on the side wall of the dense reaction zone 202 of the bubbling fluidized bed, and the other part of the slag and the inert bed material enter the riser reactor 1 as the heat source for the biomass hydro-pyrolysis reaction through the solid heat carrier inlet 6. The raw syngas rich in methane at the gas outlet of the second gas-solid separator 23 enters the waste heat recovery unit, dust removal unit, syngas washing unit, carbon monoxide conversion unit and methane unit for subsequent treatment. Specifically, after passing through the waste heat recovery, dust removal and washing devices, the raw syngas rich in methane is mixed with part of the pyrolysis gas generated during the biomass hydro-pyrolysis process and enters the carbon monoxide conversion device to generate a mixed gas (converted gas) mainly containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide. After the mixed gas is purified by removing carbon dioxide and impurities, it enters the methanation device to produce methane.
