Abstract
A system for producing an organic substance, including: a synthesis gas generation furnace for producing a synthesis gas by partially oxidizing a waste including a carbon source; a synthesis gas purification unit connected to the synthesis gas generation furnace and purifying the synthesis gas generated in the synthesis gas generation furnace to reduce an impurity concentration in the synthesis gas; and an organic substance synthesis unit which is connected to the synthesis gas purification unit and generates an organic substance from the synthesis gas purified in the synthesis gas purification unit, wherein the synthesis gas purification unit includes a detection unit for measuring an impurity concentration in the synthesis gas.
Claims6
A system for producing an organic substance, comprising:
- a synthesis gas generation furnace for producing a synthesis gas by partially oxidizing a waste comprising a carbon source;
- a synthesis gas purification unit which is connected to the synthesis gas generation furnace and purifies the synthesis gas generated in the synthesis gas generation furnace to reduce an impurity concentration in the synthesis gas;
- and
- an organic substance synthesis unit which is connected to the synthesis gas purification unit and generates an organic substance from the synthesis gas purified in the synthesis gas purification unit,
- wherein the synthesis gas purification unit comprises:
- a first purification unit for purifying the synthesis gas;
- a second purification unit for purifying the synthesis gas purified in the first purification unit;
- a detection unit for measuring an impurity concentration in the synthesis gas purified in the first purification unit,
- wherein the detection unit is configured between the first purification unit and the second purification unit,
- wherein the second purification unit is a pressure swing adsorption apparatus or a temperature swing adsorption apparatus, having a higher impurity concentration reducing ability than the first purification unit, and
- wherein the detection unit is configured to:
- feed the synthesis gas purified in the first purification unit to a part positioned downstream of the second purification unit while bypassing the second purification unit when the impurity concentration is not higher than a predetermined value, and
- feed the synthesis gas purified in the first purification unit to the second purification unit when the impurity concentration is higher than the predetermined value.
