Abstract

A CO shift reaction apparatus 11 according to the present invention includes: adiabatic reactors 31 A to 31 C, each having CO shift catalyst layers 35 A to 35 C filled with a CO shift catalyst 34 which reforms CO in gasification gas 15 ; gas supply lines l 11 to l 15 which supply the gasification gas 15 to the adiabatic reactors 31 A to 31 C; first gas flow rate control units 32 A and 32 B which adjust the amounts of gas supplied to the adiabatic reactors 31 A to 31 C; gas discharge lines l 21 to l 25 which discharge processing gas; and second gas flow rate control unit 33 A and 33 B which adjust flow rates of processing gas 38 A- 1, 38 A- 2, 38 B- 1 , and 38 B- 2.

Claims (13)

1. A CO shift reaction apparatus comprising:

a plurality of reactors, each having CO shift catalyst layers filled with a CO shift catalyst which reforms CO in gas containing CO;

at least one gas supply line which supplies the gas to each of the reactors;

at least one first gas flow rate control unit which is provided in the gas supply line and adjusts a gas supply amount of the gas supplied to each of the reactors;

a gas discharge line which discharges processing gas in which CO in the gas is at least partially reformed, from the reactors;

at least one gas separation line which connects the gas supply line to the gas discharge line and extracts a part of the processing gas in the gas discharge line; and

at least one second gas flow rate control unit which is provided in the gas discharge line and adjusts a gas supply amount of the processing gas supplied to the gas discharge line and the gas separation line.

2. The CO shift reaction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein lengths of the CO shift catalyst layers are different from each other.

3. A gasification gas refining system comprising:

the CO shift reaction apparatus according to claim 1 , which converts CO in gasification gas produced by gasifying coal as a raw material in a gasification furnace into CO 2 in the presence of the CO shift catalyst;

a wet flue gas processing apparatus which purifies the gasification gas after being subjected to a CO shift reaction in the CO shift reaction apparatus; and

a refining apparatus which performs refinement by removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the gasification gas after being purified by the wet flue gas processing apparatus.
