Abstract
The invention relates to a device for using oxygen for the thermochemical gasification of biomass in at least one fluidized-bed reactor, a heating system being located in the fluidized bed of said reactor and the fluidized-bed reactor being heated by the at least partial oxidation of a combustible gas using oxygen.
Claims25
A fluidised bed reactor for producing synthesis gas by gasification of solid fuels, having a heater for heating the fluidised bed of the fluidised bed reactor, the heater having at least one cavity,
- wherein the heater has an oxygen feed for delivering a gas containing oxygen into the cavity of the heater, in that the cavity adjoins a porous, gas-permeable section of the heater, and in that the heater is formed so as to heat the porous, gas-permeable section as a result of oxidation of a combustible gas by the gas containing oxygen and to transfer this heat from the porous, gas-permeable section to the fluidised bed.
