Scientific novelty

The developed device belongs to the field of chemical technologies, specifically to high-temperature reactors for converting coal into synthesis gas (fuel gas) to reduce the harmful impact of coal and its combustion products on the environment. The multi-zone gasifier combines fluidized and fixed beds in a single reaction chamber, achieving high specific synthesis gas productivity while ensuring low nitrogen oxide output and a high degree of sulfur removal.

Advantages

The fundamental feature of the technology using the proposed reactor has been substantiated, combining the advantages of various gasification types: high energy efficiency due to optimal heat recovery within the reactor (fixed-bed gasification), relatively low oxygen demand (fluidized-bed gasification), and high quality of the resulting syngas (entrained-flow gasification); gasification process modeling results clearly demonstrated the advantages of the proposed resource-saving reactor for coal gasification, namely: a 16% reduction in syngas production costs (due to lower gasification temperatures), an increase in specific syngas yield by at least 26%, and a reduction in CO2 emissions by at least 20%.

Commercial implementation

The resource-saving reactor is oriented towards the Russian market, specifically for use at mineral resource complex enterprises engaged in the extraction and processing of carbon-containing raw materials of various compositions, and the fuel and energy complex.
