The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for implementing gasification by combining a circulating fluidized bed and a pyrolysis bed. The method and the apparatus may be applied to raw coal for generating coal gas with a high raw coal gasification rate while producing no pollutants, such as tar, during gasification. The apparatus includes a circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace and a pyrolysis bed gasification furnace. In the circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace, raw coal is converted to coal gas along with carbon-containing fly ash and semicoke, with the latter two separated from the coal gas using a cyclone separator and a deposition chamber. The semicoke is further processed by the pyrolysis bed gasification furnace to generate more coal gas, whereas the carbon-containing fly ash is sent back to the circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace for further combustion.

A polygeneration method of biomass downflow circulation bed millisecond pyrolysis liquefaction-gasification coupling is provided.

A process and apparatus for gasification of biomass. Biogenic residue may be supplied to a heating zone to dry the biomass and allow the volatile constituents to escape to generate a pyrolysis gas. The pyrolysis gas is supplied to an oxidation zone and substoichiometrically oxidized there to generate a crude gas. The carbonaceous residue generated in the heating zone and the crude gas is partially gasified in a gasification zone. The gasification forms activated carbon and a hot process gas. The activated carbon and the hot process gas are conjointly cooled. The adsorption process during the conjoined cooling has the result that tar from the hot process gas is absorbed on the activated carbon in the cooling zone. A pure gas which is substantially tar-free is obtained. The tar-enriched activated carbon may be at least partly burned for heating the heating zone and/or the gasification zone.

This powder transport device comprises: transport pipe (11) that can transport powder by way of gravity by having a prescribed angle of inclination; a porous plate (12) that is disposed along the transport pipe (11) so as to divide a line cross section into a top section and bottom section and form a powder line (11d) in the top section; an inert gas supply line for fluidization (13) that is provided under the porous plate (12) and supplies an assist gas (g) to the powder line (11d) through the porous plate (12); and a deposit status monitoring device (20) that constantly monitors the state of the powder deposited on the top face side of the porous plate (12) in the powder line (11d).

In order to allow for thermal elongation of a liner, a pipe member, in the interior of which flows a fluid containing solids, is provided with: a tubular outer pipe; a single tubular liner provided inside the outer pipe with a gap therebetween in the radial direction, or a plurality thereof arranged serially in the direction of the pipe axis C; a refractory material filled in between the outer pipe and the liner; a first liner holding member that is provided on an end portion side of the outer pipe, and that holds the liner arranged on the end portion side in a restrained state in the pipe axis C direction and the circumferential direction around the pipe axis C; and a second liner holding member that is provided on an end portion side of the outer pipe, and that holds the liner arranged on the end portion side.

A solid and liquid waste gasifier has a reactor that includes a fixed chamber and an alumina (aluminium oxide) refractory coating, provided with an automatic energy cell feeder and having, inside the fixed chamber, a rotary steel tube which is coupled to one of the ends of the fixed chamber, said rotary tube having a surface containing holes, a screw on its inside surface and a second screw on its outside surface, which rotates juxtaposed to the inside tubular body wall, ensuring the ashes are moved to be released in an automatic device, said gasifier being provided with sensors, the data from which is sent to a programmable logic controller for activation of the mechanical elements.

Embodiments relate to methods, systems and an apparatus for determining an optimal temperature for gasification of a feedstock. The method includes predicting a chemistry of impurities in the feedstock that form a slag; predicting viscosity curves of the impurities in the feedstock that form the slag; predicting a need for one or more additives; and predicting an impact of chemistry changes of the slag based at least partly on temperature vs viscosity behavior during gasification. The method further includes controlling a gasification temperature to achieve a desired viscosity of the slag using at least one of the predicted chemistry changes and the additives.

A gasifier system for reducing the particle size of non-gas byproducts of the gasification process. The gasifier system generally includes a grinder that permits uninterrupted syngas flow during gasification of biomass that contains high amounts of silica and/or salts. The described system and method incorporates a grinder that breaks apart the resultant non-gas byproducts into finer particles that may be flushed out of a gasifier using the syngas stream. The particles may then be easily separated from the gas stream in a separator and collected in a char or waste bin for removal/disposal.

A solids circulation system receives a gas stream containing char or other reacting solids from a first reactor. The solids circulation system includes a cyclone configured to receive the gas stream from the first reactor, a dipleg from the cyclone to a second reactor, and a riser from the second reactor which merges with the gas stream received by the cyclone. The second reactor has a dense fluid bed and converts the received materials to gaseous products. A conveying fluid transports a portion of the bed media from the second reactor through the riser to mix with the gas stream prior to cyclone entry. The bed media helps manipulate the solids that is received by the cyclone to facilitate flow of solids down the dipleg into the second reactor. The second reactor provides additional residence time, mixing and gas-solid contact for efficient conversion of char or reacting solids.

A method for conducting high-temperature thermolysis of waste tires and rubber products are proposed. By using the method, the waste tires and rubber products may be recycled jointly and efficiently to produce hard carbon, a synthesis gas, and a thermolysis liquid, which may be used profitably for various purposes.
