Abstract

Provided is a biomass pyrolysis apparatus comprising: a combustion furnace that produces a heat quantity by causing a stable property fuel to combust; a pyrolysis gasification furnace that produces a torrefied material, and a pyrolysis gas by pyrolyzing woody biomass by a heat quantity produced by the combustion furnace; and a pyrolysis gas introduction passage that introduces the pyrolysis gas from the pyrolysis gasification furnace into a boiler, into which the torrefied material is introduced.

Claims (12)

1. A biomass pyrolysis apparatus comprising:

a combustion furnace that produces a heat quantity by causing a stable property fuel to combust;

a pyrolysis gasification furnace that produces a torrefied material and a pyrolysis gas by pyrolyzing woody biomass by a heat quantity produced by the combustion furnace;

a pyrolysis gas introduction passage that introduces the pyrolysis gas from the pyrolysis gasification furnace into a boiler, into which the torrefied material is introduced; and

a control device that controls a temperature of the pyrolysis gasification furnace, wherein

the control device controls a temperature of the pyrolysis gasification furnace so that the current value of a pulverizer that pulverizes a torrefied material produced by the pyrolysis gasification furnace is generally in a constant range, and

the control device performs control such that the temperature of the pyrolysis gasification furnace is increased when the power consumption of the pulverizer increases.

2. The biomass pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pyrolysis gasification furnace is an indirect heating type pyrolysis gasification furnace that indirectly heats the woody biomass by a heating gas.

3. A power generation system comprising: the biomass pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 1 ;

a boiler in which the torrefied material is introduced and by which the torrefied material is combusted;

a steam turbine in which steam produced by the boiler is introduced; and

a power generator driven by the steam turbine.
