Method for processing combustible products, reactor for implementing same (variants) and apparatus comprising said reactor

Abstract

The inventions are related to industrial processing of combustible carbon- and hydrocarbon products. A method of processing combustible carbon- and hydrocarbon products is implemented using a reactor equipped with temperature sensors. The reactors comprise the phases of heating the charge (13), pyrolysis of combustible components and coking (12), combustion (11), and formation of a solid residue (4). At the phases of heating the charge (13) and coking and pyrolysis (12), an aerosol (i.e. dust particles and condensed liquid droplets carried away from the combustion zone (11) sorption zone (21) is formed by flushing the upper part of the charge by liquid hydrocarbonaceous products through the dispenser (22) and/or by adding to the batch the solid hydrocarbonaceous products having a softening point above 60° C. and the end boiling point above 300° C. The plant includes a reactor (either of the two aforementioned models), the discharge assembly for discharging of solid and non-combustible by-products (27), the gas-vapor mixture discharge unit (28), a cyclone separator for coarse filtering (cleaning unit for purification and removing the solid and liquid carbonaceous particles) (29), liquid products condensation unit (30), Florence flasks for condensates (31), and liquid hydrocarbon waste tank sump (32). Between the cyclone-type cleaning unit for purification and removing the solid and liquid carbonaceous particles (29) and the liquid products condensation unit (30), there is an additional gas-vapor mixture purification unit (33), consisting of a centrifugal separator for fine purification (34) and one selective-type cyclone (35). The liquid hydrocarbon waste tank sump (32) is equipped with a feed dispenser for their charging to the dispenser (22) located at the upper lid of the reactor (3). The invention allows to improve the quality of purification of the gas-vapor mixture from solid and liquid-drop impurities up to 95%, increase the process productivity and simplify the required hardware design. The invention improves the quality of the gas-vapor mixture purification from solid and liquid-drop impurities for up to 95 percent, increases the process productivity and simplifies the hardware design. 4 independent claims, 16 dependent claims, 4 figures, 3 tables, 3 examples.
