Abstract:
An apparatus and process for converting carbonaceous or other material with calorific value, wood, plastic, sewage, etc into high quality gas preferably to fuel a reciprocating gas engine for the generation of electricity. Wet fuel is delivered via conveyer 13 to fuel hopper 14. From the hopper the fuel is fed into the dryer 15 by a screw feeder The dried fuel then is checked for size via a trommel 16 where the correctly sized fuel passes through and the oversized fuel goes onto the reject conveyer 22 where it is delivered for shredding. The correct sized dry fuel is transported via a conveyer 17. The fuel is then fed via a feed system, to avoid the ingress of air, into the gasifier 19. The gas is cooled and cleaned in the gas quench unit 20. The gas is then compressed and stored. The char is quenched in a water trough then fed by a screw conveyer to a dryer 29 then stored in a hopper 30. Oils and tars that are carried over with the gas are removed by an extraction unit 27 and stored in storage vessel 28. From storage the oils are used as a fuel along with the char via burners 1 to fuel the char reburner 2. The combustion air used in the char reburner is taken from the dryer. This air is dried in 25 by the forced draft fan 26 then sent to the combusters1. Any slag that is produced in the char reburner is ejected as a vitrified slag into a trough 32 where it is removed for further processing. The hot gases from the char re-burner are treated by Nox suppression system 3. The temperature is then controlled at 4 before heating the gasifier 5. Having heated the gasifier the hot gases are guided via ducts 6 to a further stage of temperature control 7. From there they heat the dryer before being guided via duct 9 to a bag filter 10 that collects any dust allowing the clean exhaust to pass to the chimney 12 via an induced draft fan 11.
Abstract:
A waste carbonizing and energy utilizing system comprises a carbonizer, a gasifying fusion furnace, and a power generation plant for utilizing heat energy. The carbonizer 20 carbonizes waste to generate charcoal. The gasifying fusion furnace incinerates the charcoal, and then the heat generated by the incineration of the charcoal is used for operation of the power generation plant. Exhaust heat from the power generation plant is recycled to the carbonizer.
Abstract:
Method for treatment of spent liquor at a pulp mill, in which method at least a part of the spent liquor flow (10) arriving from the evaporation plant is taken to a pyrolysis reactor (1), wherein it is pyrolysed at a temperature of 300-800° C. in order to separate evaporable compounds (12) from coke (11) remaining in a solid state. The pyrolysis products (11), which are gases or liquids, may be used as fuel or they may be processed further. The coke (11) resulting from the pyrolysis is burnt in a soda recovery boiler (3) or in a gasification reactor (2) to regenerate cooking chemicals. The method is suitable for recovery of chemicals and energy both in sulphate and sulphite processes and also in cooking methods based on organic solvents.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are for the pyrolysis of waste. The aparatus has a rotating cell formed of a cylinder in combination with a truncated cone rotating on the same axis. The apparatus also has a hopper for charging the waste at one end of the cylinder, an ash box at the other end of the cylinder, a gas recuperator, and a retaining threshold between the cylinder and the truncated cone. A region of intimate contact of the waste with itself is created, whereby the waste is converted into coke which is used as fuel in the pyrolysis of the waste.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of the production of smoke for food processing usage and has for its object a process characterized in that it comprises essentially the steps consisting in introducing the organic material to be pyrolyzed into a reactor comprising essentially a heatable chamber that is substantially sealed, containing at least one ascending tubular element that is vibrated and receiving said material, at the level of the lower portion of said tubular element, heating said organic material to a temperature comprised between 200null C. and 800null C., preferably between 300null C. and 400null C., so as to cause pyrolysis during its movement, under the influence of vibrations, in the ascending tubular element or elements, and extracting the consumed material and the produced smoke at the level of the upper portion of said tubular element or elements.
Abstract:
In an improved system for recovering heat from a combustion gas produced by burning wastes, the combustion gas or combustible gas produced by partial burning of the wastes subjected to dust filtration in a temperature range of 450-650null C. at a filtration velocity of 1-5 cm/sec under a pressure of from null5 kPa (gage) to 5 MPa before heat recovery is effected. The dust filtration is preferably performed using a filter medium which may or may not support a denitration catalyst. Heat recovery is preferably effected using a steam superheater. The dust-free gas may partly or wholly be reburnt with or without an auxiliary fuel to a sufficiently high temperature to permit heat recovery. The combustion furnace may be a gasifying furnace which, in turn, may be combined with a melting furnace. If desired, the reburning to a higher temperature may be performed under pressure and the obtained hot combustion gas is supplied to a gas turbine to generate electricity, followed by introduction of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine into a steam superheater for further heat recovery. The system can raise the temperature of superheated steam to a sufficient level to enhance the efficiency of power generation without possibility of corrosion of heat transfer pipes by the combustion gas or combustible gas.
Abstract:
A sodium-based dechlorinating agent g is added to a flue gas G6; hydrogen chloride contained in this flue gas is removed as residue of dechlorination; the thus removed residue of dechlorination is dissolved by adding water i; water-insoluble constituents k are separated from the resulting aqueous solution j; and after adjusting pH of the aqueous solution l remaining after separation of the water-insoluble constituents k, mercury, dioxin and the like are removed and discharged. The sodium-based dechlorinating agent g is mixed with a hydrophilic anti-caking agent, with an angle of repose of 40null or more, a dispersibility of less than 50, and a floodability index value of less than 90. A mean particle diameter of sodium hydrogencarbonate is set within a range of from 2 nullm to 30 nullm. The hydrophilic anti-caking agent comprises silica, and is contained in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more in the sodium-based dechlorinating agent. Further, a mean particle diameter of the hydrophilic anti-caking agent is set within a range of from 0.001 nullm to 1 nullm. This permits inhibition of occurrence of a pressure drop and leakage in the filter cloth of the dust collector.
