Abstract
A gasification reactor is provided. The reactor comprises a first gasification area, a second gasification area and a shared combustion area. The shared combustion area is set between the first and second gasification areas. Therein, the (present invention applies interconnected fluidized beds in gasification. The connecting piping between the first and second gasification areas are separately replaced with dense beds to be integrated for forming a single reactor. Thus, the present invention simplifies the system, saves the cost and reduces the operation difficulty.
Claims12
A gasification reactor with shared partial reactor vessels, comprising:
- an integrated single reactor with interconnected dense fluidized beds comprising:
- a first gasification area,
- wherein said first gasification area comprises a first gasification zone and a first fluidized dense bed;
- a first weir egress is located at an upper end of a side wall of said first gasification zone;
- and a first orifice is disposed on at a lower end of a side wall of said first fluidized dense bed to connect to said first gasification zone;
- a second gasification area,
- wherein said second gasification area comprises a second gasification zone and a second fluidized dense bed;
- a second weir egress is located at an upper end of a side wall of said second gasification zone;
- and a second orifice is disposed on at a lower end of a side wall of said second fluidized dense bed to connect to said second gasification zone;
- and
- a shared combustion area,
- wherein said shared combustion area is located between and communicated with said first and second gasification areas;
- said shared combustion area comprises a combustion zone and a third fluidized dense bed;
- said third fluidized dense bed isolates gases of said combustion zone from said first and second gasification areas;
- a third orifice is disposed on at a lower end of a side wall of said third fluidized dense bed to connect to said combustion zone;
- said third fluidized dense bed communicates with said first and second gasification zones through said first and second weir egresses at upper ends of two side walls of said third fluidized dense bed, respectively;
- and said combustion zone communicates with each of said first and second fluidized dense beds through a third weir egress at an upper end of a corresponding one of side walls of said combustion zone.
