METHOD FOR DISCHARGING THE DUST THAT OCCURS DURING OPERATION OF A DEDUSTING SYSTEM FOR RAW GAS
A method for discharging the dust that occurs from pressurized gasification, using a dust precipitator having at least one discharge container assigned to it, is supposed to be configured in such a manner that nitrogen introduction into the raw gas is minimized or completely avoided, in order to free subsequent chemical syntheses from introduction of nitrogen, if at all possible, right from the start. This is achieved in that filter elements are positioned in the dust precipitator, which elements are back-flushed by means of a gas that contains carbon dioxide or pure CO 2 gas.
1 . Method for discharging the dust that occurs during operation of a dedusting system for raw gas, from pressurized gasification, using a dust precipitator having at least one discharge container assigned to it, wherein
filter elements ( 4 ) are positioned in the dust precipitator ( 2 ), which elements are back-flushed by means of a gas that deviates from air and contains carbon dioxide or by means of pure CO 2 gas, whereby the dust precipitator ( 2 ) and the discharge container ( 9 ) are connected with one another, in terms of effect, by way of an equalization line ( 12 ), for gas return when the discharge container is filled.
2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein
the back-flushing gas that contains CO 2 is preheated.
3 . Method according to alai claim 1 , wherein
the back-flushing gas that contains CO 2 is used for fluidization and loosening of the bulk flue ash in the dust precipitator.
4 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein
the back-flushing gas that contains CO 2 is used for pressurizing the discharge container.
5 . Method according to claim 4 , wherein
the back-flushing gas that contains CO 2 is used to loosen the dust in the discharge container.
6 . Method according to claim 4 , wherein
the gas that contains CO 2 is passed to its location of use through feed lines heated from the outside.
7 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein
the gas removed from the discharge container is passed to a dedusting device.
8 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein
the dedusted gas removed from the discharge container is passed to an intermediate storage container and used, at least in part, as gas for carrying out one of the prior method steps.
