Solution Overview

Problem

Current dust removal processes in coal gasification are inefficient at high temperatures, leading to equipment blockage and reduced service life due to tar agglomeration and dust particle re-separation, and pose risks of combustion and explosion.

Innovation Solution

The high-temperature high-efficiency explosion-proof integrated modular dust removal equipment employs a high-temperature ceramic filter system and high-pressure backblow system, along with a preliminary dust removal system, to filter and clean dust from raw coal gas without cooling, ensuring effective filtration and extended equipment life.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the raw coal gas is cooled below 200°C before dust removal, then the dust removal process can be performed, but the tar will agglomerate with dust particles and adhere to the equipment inner wall, causing blockage and reducing service life

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the temperature parameter from conventional cooling below 200°C to high-temperature operation (above 200°C), preventing tar agglomeration while maintaining effective dust removal. The high-temperature ceramic filter system enables this parameter change without compromising filtration effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
