Abstract
The invention relates to a method of operating a high-temperature reactor for treating heterogeneous waste materials, in which the waste materials are introduced via an intake point into the reactor and form beneath the intake point a loose-piled gasification bed, in which the inorganic or organic components are subjected to fusion or gasification and homogenisation by oxygen and above the intake point the gaseous gasification products are subjected to high-temperature treatment with added oxygen in order to form and stabilise synthesis gas, water-cooled oxygen lances being used for high-temperature treatment.
Claims13
Method of operating a high-temperature reactor for treating heterogeneous waste materials including industrial, special and domestic wastes, in which the waste materials are separately and simultaneously thermally pre-treated and compressed and introduced into the reactor via an intake point, and form beneath the intake point a loose, piled gasification bed, in which the components are subjected by oxygen to a fusion or gasification and homogenisation, and above the intake point the gaseous gasification products are subject to high-temperature treatment with supplied oxygen in order to form and stabilize synthesis gas, characterized in that water-cooled oxygen lances are used for high-temperature treatment, at least two oxygen lances being disposed beneath the intake point to reinforce the flow direction of the fusing and melted-down waste materials, and at least two oxygen lances being disposed above the intake point to inhibit the flow of the ascending gaseous.
