Abstract

A carbon-containing material gasification system includes: a gasifier that includes a combustion stage and a gasification stage, and generates generated gas; char providing means that separates char from the generated gas, and provides the combustion stage with the char, the combustion stage including carbon-containing material combustion means and char combustion means; and distributing ratio setting means that sets, according to a ratio of distributing material defined in Expression [1], a ratio of distributing oxidizing agent defined in Expression [2] to be smaller as the ratio of distributing material increases. (ratio of distributing material)=(providing amount of the carbon-containing material for gasification stage)/(total providing amount of the carbon-containing material to gasifier)  [1] (ratio of distributing oxidizing agent)=(providing amount of the oxidizing agent to oxidize carbon-containing material for the combustion stage)/(total providing amount of the oxidizing agent to the combustion stage)  [2]

Claims (13)

1. A method for setting a ratio of distributing oxidizing agent in a carbon-containing material gasification system comprising: a gasifier that comprises a combustion stage and a gasification stage; generates high-temperature gas from the combustion stage by providing an inside of the gasifier with an oxidizing agent, a char, and a carbon-containing material for the combustion stage; and causes the high-temperature gas to thermal decompose and gasify a carbon-containing material for the gasification stage to generate generated gas from the gasification stage by providing the inside of the gasifier with the carbon-containing material for the gasification stage; and char providing means that separates the char from the generated gas, and provides the combustion stage with the char, the combustion stage comprising carbon-containing material combustion means and char combustion means, provides the carbon-containing material for combustion stage along with an oxidizing agent for the carbon-containing material for the combustion stage from the carbon-containing material combustion means, and provides the char along with an oxidizing agent for the char from the char combustion means the method comprising:

a material distributing ratio setting step for setting a ratio of distributing material defined by an Expression [3];

an oxidizing agent distributing ratio setting step for setting the ratio of distributing oxidizing agent defined by an Expression [4] to be smaller as the ratio of distributing material increases;

(ratio of distributing material)=(providing amount of the carbon-containing material for the gasification stage)/(total providing amount of the carbon-containing material to the gasifier)  [3]

(ratio of distributing oxidizing agent)=(providing amount of the oxidizing agent to oxidize the carbon-containing material for the combustion stage)/(total providing amount of the oxidizing agent to the combustion stage)  [4]; and

a first inert gas providing step for providing, when a providing amount of the oxidizing agent for the carbon-containing material for the combustion stage is equal to or less than a first threshold, an inert gas to a material oxidizing-agent providing line that provides the oxidizing agent for the carbon-containing material for the combustion stage to the carbon-containing material combustion means.

2. The method for setting a ratio for distributing an oxidizing agent according to claim 1 , further comprising a second inert gas providing step for providing, when a providing amount of oxidizing agent for the char is equal to or less than a second threshold, an inert gas to a char oxidizing-agent providing line that provides the oxidizing agent for the char to the char combustion means.

3. The method for setting a ratio for distributing an oxidizing agent according to claim 2 , further comprising,

when an ash content of the carbon-containing material exceeds a predetermined content,

decreasing a providing amount of the inert gas to the carbon-containing material combustion means further than a case where the ash content is equal to or lower than the predetermined content; and

providing the inert gas to the char combustion means.

4. The method for setting a ratio for distributing an oxidizing agent according to claim 3 , further comprising:

when the ash content exceeds the predetermined content, stopping the providing of the oxidizing agent to the char combustion means.
