Description

正反火生物质气炭联产发生炉 Positive and negative fire biomass gas carbon cogeneration furnace

技术领域 technical field

本实用新型涉及一种生物质气炭联产发生炉,尤其是一种正反火生物质气炭联产发生炉,属于能源再生利用技术领域。The utility model relates to a biomass gas-carbon co-production generator, in particular to a forward-back fire biomass gas-carbon co-production generator, which belongs to the technical field of energy regeneration and utilization.

背景技术 Background technique

生物质通常包括秸秆、薪柴、稻壳、果壳等农林废弃物。对这些生物质进行合理的处理利用,不仅有利于环境保护,还可以获得宝贵的能源。因此引起了人们的关注。Biomass usually includes agricultural and forestry waste such as straw, firewood, rice husk, and fruit shell. Reasonable treatment and utilization of these biomass is not only beneficial to environmental protection, but also can obtain valuable energy. Therefore, it has attracted people's attention.

传统的生物质处理方法是沸腾式燃烧,即将生物质置于发生炉之类的设施内进行不完全燃烧,从而产生可以利用的一氧化碳等可燃气体以及炭化物质。沸腾式燃烧的缺点是容易过燃。通过不断改进,出现了可以实现分层燃的正火发生炉。这种发生炉的结构特征是含氧气流从生物质底部进入,自下而上经过生物质,其风压低于生物质的总重,因此生物质不会因助燃气流过大、燃烧过旺而沸腾。其优点是容易控制所需的不完全燃烧,气化强度和生成的燃气热值均比较高,其缺点是生成的燃气不仅温度较高而且含有较多灰分,需要冷却洗净处理,结果耗费了水资源,还会引起二次污染。The traditional biomass treatment method is boiling combustion, that is, the biomass is placed in a facility such as a generator for incomplete combustion, thereby producing combustible gases such as carbon monoxide and carbonized substances that can be used. The disadvantage of boiling combustion is that it is easy to overburn. Through continuous improvement, a normalizing furnace that can realize stratified combustion has appeared. The structural feature of this generator is that the oxygen-containing flow enters from the bottom of the biomass, passes through the biomass from bottom to top, and its wind pressure is lower than the total weight of the biomass. boiling. The advantage is that it is easy to control the required incomplete combustion, and the gasification intensity and the calorific value of the generated gas are relatively high. Water resources can also cause secondary pollution.

检索发现,申请号为200510040840.1的中国专利申请公开了一种反火生物质炭化燃气发生方法,实现该方法的发生炉结构特点是助燃气流从生物质上部进入,自上而下经过生物质。由于助燃气流对灰分有抑制作用,因此这种方法产生的燃气通常不用洗净处理,但其生物质燃气和生成生物质炭化产品。反火生物质炭化燃气发生炉,其气化强度和生成的燃气热值往往不及正火发生法。The search found that the Chinese patent application with application number 200510040840.1 discloses a gas generation method for carbonization of counterfired biomass. The structural feature of the generator for realizing this method is that the gas-supporting gas flow enters from the upper part of the biomass and passes through the biomass from top to bottom. Because the combustion-supporting gas flow has an inhibitory effect on ash, the gas produced by this method usually does not need to be cleaned, but the biomass gas and biomass carbonization products are generated. The gasification intensity and the calorific value of the generated gas of the reverse-fired biomass carbonization gas-fired furnace are often lower than those of the normalized method.
