3、ving bed reactor (Lurgi dry ash and BGL - slagging) Counter-current flow of coal and oxidizing blast Blast composed of air and hot syngas, so low oxygen consumption Operates on reactive carbon sources Good heat transfer heats the carbon source creating methane and tar Post production cleaning and sc
4、rubbing requires greater energy useBGL gasifier (fixed bed, slagging)Figure 1: BGL GasifierAbove Ground GasificationFluid-bed reactor (Winkler, HTW, CFB dry ash; KRW, U- Gas Agglomerating) Air fluidizes a bed and carbon containing particles added Proper mixing of fuel and oxidant provide good mass t
5、ransfer and heat transfer Fine particle will escape with syngas and needs to be cleaned Very good heat/mass transfer so partially reacted carbon may settle with ash Slagging will reduce fluidization, so temp remains below softening point for ashWinkler Gasifier (Fluid bed, dry ash)Figure 2: Winkler
6、GasifierAbove Ground GasificationEntrained flow reactors (Shell, Texaco, E-gas, Noell, KT - Slagging) Carbon source is made of very fine particles in a liquid or slurry for very good mass transfer Very little residence time Co-current flow with oxygen where high temperatures can be reached Low heat
7、transfer means hot exiting gas with no methane or tar, but more oxygen required. High temperature and very small carbon sources make it an ideal process for coal gasification. High temperatures without charring No agglomeration because of fine particle size preparationTexaco Gasifier (entrained flow

12、ors such as the Texaco gasifier The coal will not heat up as much and will not create methane and tar. The requirement for fine particles into the gasifier prevents agglomeration Underground coal gasification technology is present and used today but with certain challenges Water contamination Impact
