Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gasification furnace facility, a gasification combined power generation facility, and a starting method of the gasification furnace facility.
- the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) gasification of coal which is a solid carbonaceous fuel, combined with combined cycle power generation further increases efficiency and environment compared to conventional coal-fired power generation. It is a power generation facility aiming at performance.
- This coal gasification combined cycle power generation facility has a great merit that it can use coal with abundant resources, and it is known that the merit can be further increased by expanding the applicable coal types.
- Conventional coal gasification combined power generation facilities generally include a coal supply device, a coal gasification furnace, a char recovery device, a gas purification facility, a gas turbine facility, a steam turbine facility, and an exhaust heat recovery boiler. . Therefore, coal (pulverized coal) is supplied to the coal gasifier by the coal feeder, and gasifying agents (air, oxygen-enriched air, oxygen, water vapor, etc.) are taken in. In this coal gasification furnace, coal is gasified and combustible gas (coal gasification gas) is generated. And the produced combustible gas is gas refined after the unreacted part (char) of coal is removed by the char recovery device, and then supplied to the gas turbine equipment.
- coal pulverized coal
- gasifying agents air, oxygen-enriched air, oxygen, water vapor, etc.
- the combustible gas supplied to the gas turbine equipment is combusted as a fuel in a combustor to generate high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas, and the gas turbine of the gas turbine equipment is driven by the supply of the combustion gas.
- the exhaust gas after driving the gas turbine generates steam by recovering thermal energy in the exhaust heat recovery boiler.
- the steam is supplied to a steam turbine facility, and the steam turbine is driven by the steam. Therefore, it is possible to generate electric power with a generator using a gas turbine and a steam turbine as driving sources.
- the exhaust gas from which thermal energy has been recovered by the exhaust heat recovery boiler is released to the atmosphere via a chimney.
- the start process of the coal gasification furnace includes the following steps (1) to (9). That is, a general start-up process of a coal gasifier includes (1) nitrogen gas purge, (2) pressurization / warming in the gasifier, (3) gasifier ignition with air ventilation and start-up fuel, ( 4) Gas supply to the porous filter, (5) Ramping (pressurization), (6) Gas flow to the gas purification facility, (7) Gasifier fuel switching, (8) Gas turbine fuel switching, (9 ) In order of load increase.

- Patent Document 1 describes a gasification furnace or a gasification furnace while burning exhaust gas in a flare stack (flare facility) until the gas composition and pressure are stabilized and the gas turbine can be combusted when starting the coal gasification combined power generation facility. It is described that the gas purifier is warmed. In addition, it is also described that a flue stack treatment device for flare stacks is required at a location with severe environmental conditions. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a coal gasification plant in which a bypass line that branches to an upstream side of a dust removal device and reaches a flare stack is provided in a main system line that connects a coal gasification furnace and a dust removal device. Yes.
- nitrogen gas is passed between steps (1) and (2), for example, oxygen (O 2 ) is not contained in nitrogen gas having a purity of 99 vol%.
- oxygen-containing gas combustion exhaust gas containing air and residual oxygen
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is present in the char recovery unit while suppressing supply of gas containing char to the flare equipment when starting the gasification furnace equipment.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a gasification furnace facility in which ignition of unburned solid carbonaceous matter contained in the char is suppressed, a gasification combined power generation facility including the same, and a start method of the gasification furnace facility.
- the gasification furnace equipment which concerns on 1 aspect of this invention gasifies solid carbonaceous fuel using oxygen-containing gas
- the gasification furnace which produces
- a char recovery unit that recovers the char contained in the gas, a flare facility that burns the combustible gas from which the char has been recovered by the char recovery unit, and a first supply unit that supplies the oxygen-containing gas to the gasifier
- the gasifier facility uses an activation burner to burn the oxygen-containing gas and the activation fuel in order to activate the gasifier facility. Then, the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the oxygen-containing gas and the starting fuel is supplied to the char recovery unit. By doing in this way, after the char contained in oxygen-containing gas and combustion gas is collect
- the gasifier equipment controls the supply amount of the inert gas supplied to the upstream side of the char recovery unit before starting the combustion of the starting fuel by the starting burner,
- the inert gas is mixed with the combustion gas upstream of the char recovery unit, and oxygen A mixed gas having a concentration equal to or lower than the ignition concentration is supplied to the char recovery unit. Therefore, ignition of unburned solid carbonaceous material contained in the char present in the char recovery unit can be suppressed.
- the ignition concentration may be lower than a lower limit value of an oxygen concentration at which unburned solid carbonaceous matter contained in the char existing in the char recovery unit can be ignited. Good. By doing in this way, ignition of the unburned solid carbonaceous material contained in the char which exists in the char collection
- recovery part can be prevented reliably.
- the ignition concentration is preferably 14 volume percent concentration.
- the inventors have a relatively low concentration of coal dust contained in the combustion gas, and the pressure in the gasification furnace at the start-up is relatively low with respect to the steady operating pressure (for example, about 15 to 50 at steady operating pressure).
- the pressure in the gasification furnace is about 2 to 10 at the time of start-up
- the oxygen concentration of the mixed gas is prevented. I got the knowledge that I can do it. Therefore, by setting the oxygen concentration of the mixed gas to 14 volume percent or less, ignition of unburned solid carbonaceous matter can be prevented.
- concentration is 12 volume percent density
- the gasification furnace includes a combustor burner for burning the solid carbonaceous fuel, and the second supply unit supplies the inert gas to the combustor burner. It is good also as a structure. In this way, using the combustor burner used to burn the solid carbonaceous fuel during the operation of the gasifier facility, the inert gas is added to the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the oxygen-containing gas and the starting fuel. Can be mixed.
- the gasification furnace has a plurality of the combustor burners, and the outlets of the plurality of combustor burners are arranged such that the gas discharged from the outlets is the center of the vortex in a direction substantially orthogonal to the cross section of the gasification furnace.
- the gasification furnace includes a heat exchanger that generates steam by heat exchange between the combustible gas and water
- the second supply unit includes
- the inert gas may be supplied downstream from the heat exchanger and upstream from the combustible gas supply flow path for supplying the combustible gas from the gasification furnace to the char recovery unit.

- the air separation device 80 adjusts the flow rate of nitrogen gas supplied to the inert gas supply channel 81 so that
- the ignition concentration for example, it is desirable that the unburned solid carbonaceous material contained in the char existing in the char recovery device 30 is lower than the lower limit value of the oxygen concentration that can be ignited.

In both the solid line and the broken line, the left side of the line (the side with the lower oxygen concentration) is the non-ignition area, and the right side of the line (the side with the higher oxygen concentration) is the ignition area. Both the solid line and the broken line indicate the boundary between the ignition region and the non-ignition region, but in reality, there may be cases where the ignition region does not ignite due to other conditions such as humidity and temperature.
- the concentration of coal dust is relatively low and the pressure in the coal gasification furnace 10 is higher than the steady operating pressure. If the condition is relatively low, unburned solid carbonaceous matter that satisfies the condition exists in the non-ignition zone. Since the char recovery device 30 is pressurized to approximately the same pressure as the coal gasification furnace 10 at the time of startup, the unburned solid carbonaceous material present in the char recovery device 30 is ignited by satisfying the above-described conditions. Is prevented.
- the condition that the pressure in the gasification furnace at the start-up is relatively low with respect to the steady operation pressure. If satisfied, pulverized coal that satisfies the condition will be present in the non-ignition zone.
- the pressure in the coal gasification furnace 10 is 25 at which is sufficiently higher than the pressure in the furnace at the start of the coal gasification furnace 10.

- the oxygen concentration of the mixed gas is demonstrated using FIG.
- FIG. 7 (a) and FIG. 7 (b) are common in that the oxygen concentration is the maximum value from time T3 to time T4. This is because the supply of air to the coal gasification furnace 10 is started at time T2, and the flow rate is constant at time T3.

Abstract
Description
この石炭ガス化炉では、石炭がガス化され、可燃性ガス(石炭ガス化ガス)が生成される。そして、生成された可燃性ガスは、チャー回収装置にて石炭の未反応分(チャー)が除去されてからガス精製され、この後、ガスタービン設備に供給される。
ガスタービンを駆動した後の排気ガスは、排熱回収ボイラで熱エネルギが回収されて蒸気を生成する。この蒸気は、蒸気タービン設備に供給され、この蒸気により蒸気タービンが駆動される。従って、ガスタービン及び蒸気タービンを駆動源とする発電機により、発電を行うことができる。
一方、排熱回収ボイラで熱エネルギが回収された排気ガスは、煙突を介して大気へ放出される。
すなわち、石炭ガス化炉の一般的な起動プロセスは、(1)窒素ガスパージ、(2)ガス化炉内の加圧/ウォーミング、(3)空気通気及び起動用燃料によるガス化炉点火、(4)ポーラスフィルタへのガス供給、(5)ランピング(加圧)、(6)ガス精製設備への通ガス、(7)ガス化炉燃料の切替、(8)ガスタービン燃料の切替、(9)負荷上昇、の順に実施される。
なお、上述したものは空気吹きの場合であるが、酸素吹きガス化による化学合成品プラントの場合も、上述したプロセスのステップ(7)までは共通である。
また、ガスタービン燃料切替のステップ(7)においては、石炭ガスの供給を受けられない起動時に使用する起動用燃料(例えば灯油、軽油、天然ガス等)から、ガス化炉で生成された石炭ガスに変更される。
また、特許文献2には、石炭ガス化炉と除塵装置とを連結する主系統ラインに、除塵装置の上流側で分岐してフレアスタックに至るバイパスラインを設けた石炭ガス化プラントが開示されている。
なお、「少なくとも本ステップ当初」としたのは、ステップ(4)以降において、再び酸素が凡そ含有されないガスをポーラスフィルタに通ガスするためである。
このようなフィルタエレメント温度の過上昇は、材料の設計温度超過や損傷の原因となるため、空気通気及び起動用燃料によるガス化炉点火当初においては、少なくともポーラスフィルタをバイパスしてフレア系統で処理する必要がある。なお。一般的なバイパス流路は、例えば特許文献2に開示されているように、ガス化炉出口とサイクロンとの間を連結する配管流路において、サイクロン入口の上流側で分岐させている。
本発明の一態様に係るガス化炉設備は、酸素含有気体を用いて固体炭素質燃料をガス化し、可燃性ガスを生成するガス化炉と、前記ガス化炉により生成された前記可燃性ガスに含まれるチャーを回収するチャー回収部と、前記チャー回収部によりチャーが回収された前記可燃性ガスを燃焼させるフレア設備と、前記ガス化炉に前記酸素含有気体を供給する第1供給部と、前記チャー回収部の上流側にイナートガスを供給する第2供給部と、前記第1供給部が供給する前記酸素含有気体の供給量および前記第2供給部が供給する前記イナートガスの供給量を制御する制御部と、を備え、前記ガス化炉が、前記第1供給部から供給される前記酸素含有気体を用いて起動用燃料を燃焼させる起動用バーナを有し、前記制御部が、前記起動用バーナによる前記酸素含有気体と前記起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスと前記イナートガスが混合した混合ガスの酸素濃度が着火濃度以下となるように、前記起動用バーナによる前記起動用燃料の燃焼を開始させるのに先立って、前記第2供給部が供給する前記イナートガスの供給量を制御するものである。
そこで、本発明の一態様に係るガス化炉設備は、起動用バーナによる起動用燃料の燃焼を開始させるのに先立って、チャー回収部の上流側に供給するイナートガスの供給量を制御し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスとイナートガスが混合した混合ガスの酸素濃度が着火濃度以下となるようにした。
これにより、燃焼ガスが生成される時点からイナートガスと燃焼ガスとが確実に混合し、これらのガスが混合した混合ガスの酸素濃度をより確実に低下させる効果がある。
このようにすることで、チャー回収部に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
発明者らは、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度が比較的低く、かつ起動時のガス化炉内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い(例えば、定常運転圧15~50ata程度に対して起動時のガス化炉内の圧力2~10ata程度)場合、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、チャー回収部に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができる。
発明者らは、起動時のガス化炉内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い場合、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度に関わらず、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
このようにすることで、ガス化炉設備の稼働時に固体炭素質燃料を燃焼させるために用いられるコンバスタバーナを利用し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスにイナートガスを混合させることができる。
このようにすることで、コンバスタバーナからガス化炉に排出されるイナートガスにより渦が形成され、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスとイナートガスとの混合が促進される。したがって、混合ガスに酸素濃度の高い部分が存在せず、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を抑制することができる。
このようにすることで、熱交換器よりも上流側にイナートガスを供給して燃焼ガスの温度を低下させる場合に比べ、熱交換器の熱回収効率を向上させることができる。
このようにすることで、ガス化炉に何らの影響も与えることなくチャー回収部の上流側にイナートガスを供給し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスにイナートガスを混合させることができる。
このようにすることで、ガス化炉設備を起動する際にフレア設備にチャーを含むガスが供給されることを抑制しつつ、チャー回収部に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質の着火を抑制したガス化複合発電設備を提供することができる。
そこで、本発明の一態様に係るガス化炉設備の起動方法は、起動用バーナによる酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼を開始させるのに先立って、チャー回収部の上流側に供給するイナートガスの供給量を制御し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスとイナートガスが混合した混合ガスの酸素濃度が着火濃度以下となるようにした。
このようにすることで、そのため、チャー回収部に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
発明者らは、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度が比較的低く、かつ起動時のガス化炉内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い場合、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、チャー回収部に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができる。
発明者らは、起動時のガス化炉内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い場合、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度に関わらず、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。

例えば、イナートガスとは、酸素含有率が約5体積%以下の不活性ガスであり、窒素ガスや二酸化炭素ガスやアルゴンガスなどが代表例であるが、必ずしも約5%以下に制限されるものではない。
ポーラスフィルタ32は、サイクロン31の後流側に設置されたフィルタであり、可燃性ガスに含まれる微細チャーを回収する。
チャー回収装置30により回収されたチャーは、イナートガス供給流路81を介して供給される窒素ガス(イナートガス)によって搬送されることにより、チャー回収流路38を介して石炭ガス化炉10へ供給される。
また、制御装置CUは、空気流量調整弁(第1供給部)56の開度を調整する制御信号を空気流量調整弁56へ出力することにより、抽気空気昇圧機54から石炭ガス化炉10に供給される圧縮空気の流量を制御する。
また、空気分離装置80のイナートガス供給流路81は、イナートガスである窒素ガスをチャー回収装置30の上流側に供給する第2供給部として機能する。
また、制御装置CUは、圧力調整弁97の開度を調整する制御信号を圧力調整弁97へ出力することにより、石炭ガス化炉10内部の圧力を調整することができる。
石炭ガス化炉10から排出された可燃性ガスは、可燃性ガス供給流路11の下流端Aで分岐し、チャー回収装置30またはバイパス主流路91へ流入する。
また、分岐配管44は、ガス精製設備40と燃焼器51との間を接続する可燃性ガス供給流路41に設けられる開閉弁42の上流側で分岐し、バイパス主流路91に接続される。分岐配管44には、開閉弁43が設けられている。
石炭ガス化炉10は、図2に示すように、ガス化部10aと、シンガスクーラ(熱交換器)10bと、圧力容器10cとを備える。
圧力容器10cの内壁部と、ガス化部10a又はシンガスクーラ10bの外壁部との間には、アニュラス部10jが設けられている。
起動用燃料としては、例えば、灯油,軽油,天然ガス等が用いられる。
図4に示すフローチャートの各工程は、制御装置CUが石炭ガス化複合発電設備1の各部を制御することにより実行するものとする。ただし、開閉弁12,35,36,42,43,92の開閉動作等、各工程の少なくとも一部は、石炭ガス化複合発電設備1の作業者が実行してもよい。
ステップS401において、制御装置CUは、開閉弁35,42,92を閉状態とし、開閉弁12,36,43を開状態とする。
このようにして、石炭ガス化炉10と、チャー回収装置30と、フレア設備90とが、窒素ガスによりパージされる。
このタイミングは、少なくとも起動用燃料によるガス化炉点火時点を含む燃焼ガスが発生開始する以前であり、ガス化炉点火の数秒間から数分間前に設定される。
ここで、着火濃度としては、例えば、チャー回収装置30に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質が着火し得る酸素濃度の下限値より低いようにするのが望ましい。この酸素濃度の下限値は、石炭の組成や石炭ガス化複合発電設備1の設置環境等により変化するが、例えば、14体積パーセント濃度、より好ましくは12体積パーセント濃度が例示される。
図8は、着火域と不着火域の境界における微粉炭の炭塵濃度と酸素濃度との関係を示す図である。縦軸が炭塵濃度を示し、横軸が酸素濃度を示す。縦軸は、対数軸で表されている。図8に示す例は、本実施形態の制御装置CUにより制御される酸素濃度の下限値を設定するために、発明者らによって得られた実験データに基づくものである。よって、図8に示す例は、本実施形態の石炭ガス化炉10における炭塵濃度の酸素濃度との関係を直接的に示すものではない。
実線と破線のいずれにおいても、線よりも左側(酸素濃度が低い側)が不着火域であり、線よりも右側(酸素濃度が高い側)が着火域である。実線と破線のいずれも、着火域と不着火域の境界を示しているが、現実には湿度や温度等の他の条件により、着火域でも着火しない場合があり得る。
チャー回収装置30は、起動時に石炭ガス化炉10と略同圧に加圧されるため、チャー回収装置30に存在する未燃の固体炭素質は、前述した条件を満たすことにより、その着火が防止される。
したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を15体積パーセント濃度以下とし、更に前述の条件を満たすようにすることにより、チャー回収装置30に燃焼ガスを供給したとしても、チャー回収装置30に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができる。
特に、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下である場合、石炭ガス化炉内の圧力が1ata以下であれば、あらゆる炭塵濃度においても未燃の固体炭素質は不着火域に存在することとなる。したがって、チャー回収装置30に燃焼ガスを供給したとしても、チャー回収装置30に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができる。
したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とし、更に前述の条件を満たすようにすることにより、チャー回収装置30に燃焼ガスを供給したとしても、チャー回収装置30に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
なお、図5におけるステップS501,S502,S505~S509は、図4におけるステップS401,S402,S405~S409と同様であるので、説明を省略する。
図6において、(a)が本実施形態の起動工程におけるガスの流量を示し、(b)が比較例の起動工程におけるガスの流量を示す。図6中の実線は石炭ガス化炉10の出口から可燃性ガス供給流路11へ供給されるガス量を示し、破線は石炭ガス化炉10に供給される空気量を示し、一点鎖線は石炭ガス化炉10に供給される窒素ガス量を示す。
図4のステップS402は、図6(a)の時刻T2~T3に対応している。
制御装置CUは、時刻T3で窒素ガス量と空気量が目標量に到達したことを確認すると、時刻T4にて起動用燃料を起動用バーナBSへ供給し、起動用燃料による燃焼を開始させる。制御装置CUは、時刻T4から時刻T7に至るまで、各種の条件を適宜に変更しながら、起動用燃料による燃焼を継続する。
図5のステップS502は、図6(b)の時刻T2~T3に対応している。
制御装置CUは、時刻T3で空気量が目標量に到達したことを確認すると、時刻T4にて起動用燃料を起動用バーナBSへ供給し、起動用燃料による燃焼を開始させる。制御装置CUは、時刻T4から時刻T7に至るまで、各種の条件を適宜に変更しながら、起動用燃料による燃焼を継続する。
それに対して、比較例の起動工程においては、時刻T4で起動用燃料による燃焼を開始させる時点で石炭ガス化炉10に供給される窒素ガス量は少量のままである。
図7において、(a)が本実施形態の起動工程において石炭ガス化炉10から排出される混合ガスの酸素濃度を示し、(b)が比較例の起動工程において石炭ガス化炉10から排出される混合ガスの酸素濃度を示す。
本実施形態の石炭ガス化炉設備100は、石炭ガス化炉設備100を起動するために、起動用バーナBSを用いて酸素含有気体と起動用燃料とを燃焼させる。そして、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスは、チャー回収装置30に供給される。このようにすることで、酸素含有気体及び燃焼ガスに含まれるチャーがチャー回収装置30で回収された後に、そのガスがフレア設備90に供給される。これにより、フレア設備90に、チャーを含む酸素含有気体及び燃焼ガスが供給されることを防止または抑制することができる。
そこで、本実施形態の石炭ガス化炉設備100は、起動用バーナBSによる起動用燃料の燃焼を開始させるのに先立って、チャー回収装置30の上流側に供給する窒素ガス(イナートガス)の供給量を制御し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスと窒素ガスが混合した混合ガスの酸素濃度が着火濃度以下となるようにした。
このようにすることで、チャー回収装置30に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
発明者らは、燃焼ガスを含む混合ガスの酸素濃度が完全に無い状態にする必要がなく、起動用燃料によるガス化炉点火時点を含む燃焼ガスの発生開始から確実に酸素濃度を規定濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することが可能なことを見出した。
すなわち、発明者らは、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度が比較的低く、かつ起動時の石炭ガス化炉10内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い場合、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、チャー回収装置30に存在する未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を14体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を防止することができる。
発明者らは、起動時の石炭ガス化炉10内の圧力が定常運転圧に対して比較的低い場合、燃焼ガスに含まれる炭塵の濃度に関わらず、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント濃度以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができるという知見を得た。したがって、混合ガスの酸素濃度を12体積パーセント以下とすることにより、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を確実に防止することができる。
ここで、「着火」とは、熱源などの存在により火が付き燃焼反応が発生することを意味し、徐々に進む酸化反応とは異なるものである。また、未燃の固体炭素質の量や状態により火炎の発生状況は異なり、自ら燃え出す発火とは必ずしも同一にならない。チャー回収装置30に存在するチャーに含まれる未燃の固体炭素質の着火を抑制することで、固体炭素質燃料の燃焼による燃焼熱がチャー回収装置30の温度を過上昇させ、材料の設計温度超過や損傷の原因となるが防止される。
このようにすることで、石炭ガス化炉設備100の稼働時に微粉炭を燃焼させるために用いられるコンバスタバーナ10fを利用し、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスに窒素ガスを混合させることができる。
このようにすることで、コンバスタバーナ10fから石炭ガス化炉10に排出される窒素ガスにより渦が形成され、酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼により生成される燃焼ガスとイナートガスとの混合が促進される。したがって、混合ガスに酸素濃度の高い部分が存在せず、未燃の固体炭素質の着火を抑制することができる。
次に本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。本実施形態は第1実施形態の変形例であり、以下で特に説明する場合を除き、第1実施形態と同様であるものとし、説明を省略する。
本発明の第1実施形態においては、空気分離装置80が、起動用バーナBSによる酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼を開始するのに先立って、コンバスタバーナ10fに窒素ガスを供給するものとした。
それに対して本実施形態は、コンバスタバーナ10fに窒素ガスを供給するのに替えて、コンバスタバーナ10fよりも下流側かつ可燃性ガス供給流路11よりも上流側のアニュラス部10jに、空気分離装置80からの窒素ガスを供給するものである。
図9に示すように、流量調整弁84を介して窒素ガスが供給される箇所は、アニュラス部10jである。アニュラス部10jに供給された窒素ガスは、シンガスクーラ10bの出口部10lにて、シンガスクーラ10bを通過した燃焼ガスと混合する。つまり、流量調整弁84を介して供給される窒素ガスは、シンガスクーラ10bで熱交換された後の燃焼ガスと混合する。
次に本発明の第3実施形態について説明する。本実施形態は第1実施形態の変形例であり、以下で特に説明する場合を除き、第1実施形態と同様であるものとし、説明を省略する。
本発明の第1実施形態においては、空気分離装置80が、起動用バーナBSによる酸素含有気体と起動用燃料との燃焼を開始するのに先立って、コンバスタバーナ10fに窒素ガスを供給するものとした。
それに対して本実施形態は、コンバスタバーナ10fに窒素ガスを供給するのに替えて、石炭ガス化炉10からチャー回収装置30に可燃性ガスを供給する可燃性ガス供給流路11に窒素ガスを供給するものである。
本発明の第2実施形態は、第1実施形態のコンバスタバーナ10fに替えて、コンバスタバーナ10fよりも下流側かつ可燃性ガス供給流路11よりも上流側のアニュラス部10jに窒素ガスを供給するものであった。また、本発明の第3実施形態は、第1実施形態のコンバスタバーナ10fに替えて、石炭ガス化炉10からチャー回収装置30に可燃性ガスを供給する可燃性ガス供給流路11に窒素ガスを供給するものであった。
また、本実施形態の石炭ガス化複合発電設備1は、空気分離装置80から可燃性ガス供給流路11に窒素ガスを供給する流量調整弁85を備える。
このように、本実施形態の石炭ガス化複合発電設備は、イナートガス供給流路81から供給される窒素ガスを、コンバスタバーナ10fと、流量調整弁84と、流量調整弁85とから、それぞれの箇所に供給することが可能な構成となっている。
具体的には、コンバスタバーナ10f,流量調整弁84,流量調整弁85のそれぞれに窒素ガスを分配する分配装置(図示略)をイナートガス供給流路81に設ける。そして、制御装置CUは、分配装置を制御することにより、コンバスタバーナ10f,流量調整弁84,流量調整弁85のいずれに窒素ガスを供給するかを適宜に制御する。また、制御装置CUは、分配装置を制御することにより、コンバスタバーナ10f,流量調整弁84,流量調整弁85のそれぞれに分配する分配量を決定する。
以上の説明においては、可燃性ガスを生成するための設備として、粉砕された石炭(微粉炭)をガス化する石炭ガス化炉10を用いる例を示したが、他の態様であってもよい。
例えば、可燃性ガスを生成するための設備として、間伐材、廃材木、流木、草類、廃棄物、汚泥、タイヤ等のバイオマス燃料など、他の固体炭素質燃料をガス化するガス化炉設備を用いるようにしてもよい。
