Additionally, difficulties had been experienced with many blockages in the conveying pipelines to the gasifier when the feedstock had impurity.

Read MoreBecause of the pressure in the gasifier, both the feeding system, as well as the bottom ash and dust removal, have to be performed by lock-hopper systems. With the aid of the gasification agents, i.e., oxygen (O 2) and steam (H 2 O), the biomass-derived material is converted in the gasifier to the raw syngas.
Read MoreAncillary systems are operations other than the actual gasification process and generally fall into two categories: fuel preparation and feeding of the feedstock (prior …

Read MoreBriefly, a fixed-bed gasifier can be either updraft (fuel enters from the top, gasifying agent from the bottom) or downdraft (both fuel and gasification agent enter from the top), with the fuel coming in from a lock-hopper. In updraft gasification, the char at the bottom of the bed meets the gasifying agent first, and complete combustion occurs ...
Read MoreLurgi. The Lurgi dry-ash gasifier is a pressurized, dry-ash, moving-bed gasifier. Sized coal enters the top of the gasifier through a lock hopper and moves down through the bed. Steam and oxygen enter at the bottom and react with the coal as the gases move up the bed. Ash is removed at the bottom of the gasifier by a rotating grate and lock hopper.
Read MoreThe high-pressure Winkler gasifier incorporates an improved feeding system that is equipped with two lock-hoppers, as shown in Fig. 2. Each lock-hopper, at the beginning of the coal feeding process, is depressurized so that the coal can be transported from the fuel bunker into the lock-hopper.

Read MoreDuring the gasification process, most of the energy bound up in the fuel is not released as heat. In fact, the fraction of the feedstock's chemical energy, or heating value, ... In lock hopper systems the coal is also ground, typically to a pulverized coal size distribution (70% of the coal particles pass through 200 mesh sieves equivalent to ...
Read MoreIn this way, the slag which is solidified, crushed, and stored in the slag hopper is discharged out of a system of the gasifier via a lock hopper which is provided outside the gasifier. Since the slag has a higher density than the slag water, in the related art, when the slag is moved from the slag hopper to the lock hopper, the slag falls ...
Read MoreThe temperature generated at the combustor is sufficiently high to melt the coal ash. The molten slag falls to the bottom of the gasifier where it a quenched in a water bath and then removed using a lock hopper system. The gas produced in the combustor rises to the reductor where the remaining coal is added, without any additional air.
Read MoreThe screw feeder can provide higher transport pressures (up to 50 bar) than lock-hopper systems. The main disadvantages of the lock-hoppers are the use of locks, the use of transport media and the complex design. In addition to the lock-hoppers and screw feeders, there are some technical solutions using other operating principles on the …
