ادامه مطلبShell™'s gasifier membrane wall is said to have a 20-year life. Inner reactor wall temperature is controlled by circulating water through the membrane wall, producing steam. Produced slag flows down the reactor into a water bath, where it solidifies and is removed through a lock hopper as slurry.
ادامه مطلبPressure increase for dry-feed gasifier: for dry-feed entrained-flow gasifiers, the conventional lock hopper feed technology limits the operating pressure to about 40 bar (Maurstad, 2005). Dry-feed pumps to deliver coal at a higher pressure would enable an increase in dry-feed gasifier pressure and thus have benefits for reducing downstream ...
