Development of a novel fluidized bed ash cooler for circulating fluidized bed boilers: Experimental study and application

A novel bottom ash cooler (BAC) called compound fluidized bed ash cooler (CFBAC) was developed in this paper. The CFBAC combined the major technical features of spouted bed and bubbling bed, and could achieve the selective discharge on the bottom ash. Experiments about the gas-solid flow characteristics of the CFBAC were conducted in a visible cold test rig. The experimental results indicated that the separation chamber working in the spouted bed state had a good particle separation effect on the boiler bottom ash. A small quantity of fluidizing air was needed for the cooling chambers to work in the bubbling bed state. The particle separation effect could be controlled by the fluidizing air flow and physical dimensions such as the height of separation partition. The CFBAC had also been industrially applied in a 300 MW circulating fluidized bed unit. The application showed that the CFBAC had a well separation effect, an excellent adaptability on the bottom ash, a good cooling effect and a large ash discharge capacity over 30 t/h. Compared with the water-cooled BAC, the CFBAC had a better energy conservation performance.     

Two-stage dual fluidized bed gasification: Its conception and application to biomass

The quoted two-stage dual fluidized bed gasification (T-DFBG) devises the use of a two-stage fluidized bed (TFB) to replace the single-stage bubbling fluidized bed gasifier involved in the normally encountered dual fluidized bed gasification (N-DFBG) systems. By feeding fuel into the lower stage of the TFB, this lower stage functions as a fuel gasifier similar to that in the N-DFBG so that the upper stage of the TFB works to upgrade the produced gas in the lower stage and meanwhile to suppress the possible elutriation of fuel particles fed into the freeboard of the lower-stage bed. The heat carrier particles (HCPs) circulated from the char combustor enter first the upper stage of the TFB to facilitate the gas upgrading reactions occurring therein, and the particles are in turn forwarded into the lower stage to provide endothermic heat for fuel pyrolysis and gasification reactions. Consequently, with T-DFBG it is hopeful to increase gasification efficiency and decrease tar content in the produced gas. This anticipation was corroborated through gasifying dry coffee grounds in two 5.0kg/h experimental setups configured according to the principles of T-DFBG and N-DFBG, respectively. In comparison with the N-DFBG case, the test according to T-DFBG increased, the fuel C conversion and cold gas efficiency by about 7% and decreased tar content in the produced gas by up to 25% under similar reaction conditions. Test results demonstrated also that all these upgrading effects via adopting T-DFBG were more pronounced when a Ca-based additive was blended into the fuel.

Influence of ash agglomerating fluidized bed reactor scale‐up on coal gasification characteristics

To study the influence of fluidized‐bed reactor scale‐up on coal gasification characteristics, a model of the ash agglomerating fluidized‐bed reactor has been developed using an equivalent reactor network method. With the reactor network model, the scale‐up effects of a gasifier were studied in terms of the characteristics of the chemical reactions in the jet zone, the annulus dense‐phase zone and the freeboard zone. Results showed that the changes occurred in the inequality proportion of the volume of the jet zone during the reactor scale‐up. Taking into consideration the utilization of a portion of the backflow gas, the expansion of the jet zone volume and the coal particle residence time, the temperature of the jet zone was increased from 1592 to 1662 K. Also, both the annulus dense‐phase zone temperature and the freeboard zone temperature decreased, causing subsequent decrease in the carbon conversion efficiency. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 1821–1829, 2014     

Influence of high ash Indian coals in fluidized bed gasification under different operating conditions

Coal gasification has been internationally accepted as one of the most viable and effective clean coal technology for power generation. Presently, the coal being produced in India is having high ash content and it is a major constraint for most of the commercial applications in process industries. The present paper deals with the variation of higher heating value (HHV) of the product gas and carbon conversion with different inherent properties under different operating conditions in fluidized bed gasification. It has been observed that HHV of product gas increases with volatile mater, fixed carbon and temperature, whereas, mineral matter, air and steam show decreasing effect on HHV. On the other hand, carbon conversion increases with volatile matter, air, steam and temperature. It has also been observed that mineral matter provides catalytic effect to a certain level for carbon conversion, whilst, decreasing trend has been observed with the fixed carbon.     

Fluidized bed ash cooler used in a circulating fluidized bed boiler: An experimental study and application

The performance of a fluidized bed ash cooler was studied using a cold experiment bench. The air flow rate, particle size of the solids and air distributor type are considered to be the key parameters of the operation of a fluidized bed ash cooler (FBAC). It was found that the amount of fluidizing air directly affects the conveying of ash and that they have a quadratic relationship. An acceptable particle size distribution for the solids is d₅₀ < 450 μm. Furthermore, the experiment reveals that the height of the weir in the FBAC does not affect the conveying of the ash flow. The influence of injected air on the transportation of ash is not significant. Optimal air nozzle dimensions are presented.

Modeling and simulation of biomass air-steam gasification in a fluidized bed

By considering the features of fluidized-bed reactors and the kinetic mechanism of biomass gasification, a steady-state, isothermal, one-dimensional and two-phase mathematical model of biomass gasification kinetics in bubbling fluidized beds was developed. The model assumes the existence of two phases — a bubble and an emulsion phase — with chemical reactions occurring in both phases. The axial gas dispersion in the two phases is accounted for and the pyrolysis of biomass is taken to be instantaneous. The char and gas species CO, CO₂, H₂, H₂O, CH₄ and 8 chemical reactions are included in the model. The mathematical model belongs to a typical boundary value problem of ordinary differential equations and its solution is obtained by a Matlab program. Utilizing wood powder as the feedstock, the calculated data show satisfactory agreement with experimental results and proves the effectiveness and reliability of the model. __________ Translated from Chemical Engineering (China), 2007, 35(10): 23–26 [译自: 化学工程]

Preparation of silica aerogel from oil shale ash by fluidized bed drying

The silica aerogel with high specific surface area and large pore volume was successfully synthesized using oil shale ash (OSA) via ambient pressure drying. The oil shale ash was burned and leached by sulfuric acid solution, and then was extracted using sodium hydroxide solution to produce a sodium silicate solution. The solution was neutralized with sulfuric acid solution to form a silica gel. After washing with water, the solvent exchange with n-hexane, and the surface modification with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDZ), the aged gel was dried by fluidization technique and also using a furnace to yield silica aerogels. The physical and textural properties of the resultant silica aerogels were investigated and discussed. The results have been compared with silica aerogel powders dried in a furnace. From the results, it is clear that the properties of silica powders obtained in fluidized bed are superior to that of powders dried in the furnace. Using fluidization technique, it could produce silica aerogel powders with low tapping density of 0.0775 g/cm³, high specific surface area (789 m²/g) and cumulative pore volume of 2.77 cm³/g.     

Removal of mercury in aqueous solution by fluidized bed plant fly ash

Coal combustion in power plant produces fly ash. Fly ash may be used in water treatment to remove mercury (Hg²⁺) from water or to immobilize mercury mobile forms in silts and soils. Experiments were carried out on two kinds of fly ashes produced by two circulating fluidized bed plants with different chemical composition: silico-aluminous fly ashes and sulfo-calcic fly ashes. For the two kinds of fly ashes, adsorption equilibrium were reached in 3 days. Furthermore, removal of mercury was increased with increasing pH. Sulfo-calcic fly ashes allow us to remove mercury more efficiently and more steady. The chemical analysis of fly ash surface was carried out by electron spectroscopy. The results show that mercury is bound to ash surface thanks to several chemical reactions between mercury and various oxides (silicon, aluminium and calcium silicate) of the surface of the ashes.

Numerical simulation of 3D fluidized bed biomass gasification based on CPFD

Based on computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD), a three-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed steam-air mixed gasification numerical model was established, and it was verified with experiment trials. The results show that the simulation and experiment have good consistency. Based on the model, the gas distribution and temperature distribution in the gasifier were studied; meanwhile, the biomass properties (particle size, water content, types) and operating conditions (gasification temperature, bed height) were investigated. The results show that there is an optimal value for the impact of biomass particle size on gasification performance, with an average particle size of 0.6 mm being the best; a higher water content will reduce the output of combustible gas and is not conducive to the gasification reaction. Among the four types of biomass, sawdust gasification has the highest efficiency, the largest combustible gas production, and the highest gas calorific value. Rice husk is second only to sawdust but its carbon conversion rate is higher than that of sawdust; increasing the gasification temperature can increase the proportion of combustible gas and increase gasification efficiency; while the change of initial bed height can change the ratio of H₂/CO. This experiment provides a theoretical reference for biomass steam/air gasification, which is helpful for the selection and processing of biomass raw materials, and also facilitates the amplification and optimization of the gasifier.

Modelling and simulation of a coal gasification process in pressurized fluidized bed

A coal gasification mathematical model that can predict temperature, converted fraction and particle size distribution for solids have been developed for a high pressure fluidized bed. For gases in both emulsion and bubble phase, it can predict temperature profiles, gas composition, velocities and other fluid-dynamic parameters. In the feed zone, it could be considered a Gaussian distribution or any other distribution for the solid particle size. Experimental data from literature have been used to validate the model. Finally, the model can be used to optimize the gasification process changing several parameters, such as excess of air, particle size distribution, coal type and reactor geometry.
