Abstract

This method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system includes: gasifying biomass (S 2 ) through pyrolysis in a pyrolysis gasification furnace ( 5 ); separating, in a solid-gas separation unit ( 7 ), a pyrolysis gas (G 1 ) and a carbide (C) continuously formed through pyrolysis of the biomass (S 2 ); feeding an oxygen-containing gas (G 3 ) to the separated pyrolysis gas (G 1 ); and introducing the pyrolysis gas (G 1 ) together with the oxygen-containing gas (G 3 ) to a combustion furnace ( 6 ) through a pipe ( 9 ) which constitutes a pyrolysis gas line ( 8 ).

Claims (33)

1. A method for inhibiting occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system, the method comprising the steps of:

gasifying biomass through pyrolysis in a pyrolysis gasification furnace;

feeding an oxygen-containing gas to the solid-gas separation unit during operation of the pyrolysis gasification furnace; and

introducing a mixed gas from the solid-gas separation unit to a combustion furnace through a pipe which constitutes a pyrolysis gas line,

wherein the mixed gas is a mixture of the pyrolysis gas and the oxygen-containing gas.

2. The method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system according to claim 1 , wherein

the oxygen-containing gas is a gas having an oxygen concentration of at least 15 volume %.

3. The method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system according to claim 1 , wherein

the oxygen-containing gas is fed to the pyrolysis gas so that the mixed gas has a temperature of from 500 to 650° C.

the oxygen-containing gas is fed to the pyrolysis gas so that the mixed gas has a temperature of from 500 to 650° C.

5. The method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system according to claim 1 , wherein

the oxygen-containing gas is fed to the pyrolysis gas so that a ratio of an actual feed rate of the oxygen-containing gas to a rate sufficient to provide a stoichiometric amount of oxygen for full combustion of hydrocarbons present in the pyrolysis gas is 0.1 or less.

6. The method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system according to claim 2 , wherein

the oxygen-containing gas is fed to the pyrolysis gas so that a ratio of an actual feed rate of the oxygen-containing gas to a rate sufficient to provide a stoichiometric amount of oxygen for full combustion of hydrocarbons present in the pyrolysis gas is 0.1 or less.

7. The method for inhibiting the occurrence of a pyrolysis deposit in a pyrolysis gasification system according to claim 3 , wherein
