Abstract
A device is presented and described for the use of oxygen for the thermochemical gasification of biomass in at least one fluidised bed reactor, a heater being arranged in the fluidised bed of the fluidised bed reactor and the fluidised bed reactor being heatable by at least partial oxidation of a combustible gas with oxygen.
Claims10
A method for producing synthesis gas by gasification of solid fuels in a fluidised bed reactor
- wherein gas containing oxygen is delivered to a cavity of a heater,
- wherein the gas containing oxygen and/or a combustible gas flows through a porous, gas-permeable section of the heater,
- wherein the combustible gas is oxidised at least partially by the gas containing oxygen while releasing heat,
- wherein the heat released by the at least partial oxidation heats the porous, gas-permeable section of the heater, and
- wherein the heat absorbed by the porous, gas-permeable section of the heater is transferred to the fluidised bed of the fluidised bed reactor.
