Description
-`` 132~ 878 PROCESS FOR PARTIAL OXIDATION OF A LIQUID
OR SOLID AND/OR A GASEOUS HYDROCARBON-CONTAINING FUEL
The invention relates to a process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel using a multi-orifice burner.
In particular, the invention relates to a process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein an oxygen-containing gas, a liquid or solid hydrocarbon-containing fuel and/or a hydrocarbon gas are supplied to a gasification zone through a multi-orifice burner comprising a concentric arrangement of 4 annular passages or channels and 1 central passage or channel, and wherein autothermically a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas is produced under appropriate conditions.
The oxygen-containing gas i5 usually air or pure oxygen or a mixture thereof. ln order to control the temperature in the gasification zone a moderator gas (for example~steam or carbon dioxide) can be supplied to said zone.
Synthesis gas is a gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogenj and it is used, for example, as a clean medium-calorificvalue fuel gas or as a feedstock for the synthesis of methanol, ammonia or hydrocarbons, which synthesis yields gaseous hydrocarbons and liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline, middle distillates, lub oils and waxes.
- In the specification and in the claims the terms gaseous hydrocarbons and liquid hydrocarbons will be :: :
: : :
13%~8~8 used to refer to hydrocarbons that are at gasifier feed pressure and temp~rature gaseous and liquid, respectively.
A known method for producing synthesis gas is 5 partially oxidizing a particulate solid fuel, such as coal, charcoal or petroleum coke, at a temperature in the range of from 1000 C to 1800 C and at a pressure in the range of from 0.1 MPa to 5 MPa in a reactor vessel with the use of an oxygen containing gas, wherein the particulate solid fuel is introduced into the reactor vessel in the form of a dispersion of particulate solid fuel in a gas such as an inert gas or syngas, or in the form of a dispersion of particulate solid fuel in a liquid such as residual oil or water.
In addition thereto, synthesis gas can be produced by partially oxidizing a liquid fuel, such as alcohol or a liquid hydrocarbon, in particular residual oil.
The liquid fuel is partially oxidized at a temperature in the range of from 1000 C to 1800 C and at a pressure in the range of from 0.1 MPa to 8 MPa in a reactor vessel with the use of an oxygen containing gas, wherein the flow of liquid fuel into the reactor vessel is disintegrated with the use of oxygen containing gas.
Furthermore, synthesis gas can be produced by partially oxidizing in a reactor vessel a gaseous fuel such as gaseous hydrocarbons, in particular petroleum gas or natural gas, at a temperature in the range of from 1000 C to 1800~C and at a pressure in the range of from 0.1 MPa to 6 MPa with the use of an oxygen containing gas.
In the specification and in the claims the term oxygen containing gas will be used to refer to air, steam or oxygen, and the term residual oil will be used to refer to a residual product that remains after .' 13~18~g application of a separation method such as, distillation or extraction on, for example, crude oil, tar sand, shale oil or coal extracts.
Synthesis gas will be produced near or at a crude oil refinery because the produced synthesis gas can directly be applied as a feedstock for the production of middle distillates, ammonia, methanol or as a fuel gas, for exa~ple, for heating the furnaces of the refinery or more efficient.ly for the firing of gas turbines to produce electricity and heat. Moreover, use can be made of the waste products of the refinery.
If synthesis gas is produced by partially oxidizing a gaseous fuel, use can be made of refinery gas or of the gaseous hydrocarbons produced as a by-product of a synthesizing process. If synthesis gas is produced by partially oxidizing a liquid fuel, use can be made of residual oil and oxidi~er in order to disintegrate the flow of residual oil into the reactor vessel. If synthesis gas is produced by partially oxidizing a particulate solid fuel use can be made of particulate carbonaceous material dispe~sed in gas, in residual oil or water. However, in order to obtain a pumpable slurry a limited amount of particulate carbonaceous material can only be mixed with the liquid.
The above methods for producing synthesis gas, however, do not offer a large amount of operating flexibility because, in order to obtain a pumpable slurry, only a limited amount of particulate carbonaceous material can be dispersed in the liquid.
Further the H2/CO ratio of the syngas can only be slightly varied without varying the amount of moderator gas.
Further, it is already known to produce synthesis gas by introducing into a reactor vessel separated from . , ., , . :.. . .
~32~78 each other at least two different fuels Erom the group which comprises particulate ~olid ~uel, liquid uel and gaseous fuel, and allowillg the fuel~ to oxidi~e partially inside the reactor vessel with the use o~ an oxygen containing gas.
In particular, the invention relates to a simultaneous gasification process as described in the foregoing, wherein (heavy) residue feedstock and a hydrocarbon gas (e.g. methane) are suitable to be used as' ~uels and wherein the liquid (or solid) and/or gaseous hydrocarbons can be supplied in any ratio. In ~uch a process less moderator and oxidiæar i9 re~uired to, achieve a specific H2/C0 ratio in the syngas.
In order to obtain an excellent gasification process it is necessary to ensure fine atomization of the liquid and good and xapid contacting or mixing of the fuels oxygen-containing gas and the moderator.
The invention seeks to provide a process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein in situ fine atomization of the li~uid is obtained or rapid dispersion of the solid~ The invention also seeks to provide a process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein a good and rapid mixing or contacting of oxygen, fuels and moderator is obtained and pre-, ignition or flame-flash-back is prevented.
Still further the invention seeks to provide a process for gasification wherein economic process conditions (for example, reduction of supply moderator gas and reduction of carbon and soot production) are achieved with a sufficiently long burner-lifetime.
The invention therefore provides a process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel which process . ~ .

comprises: supplying an oxygen-containing gas and hydrocarbon-containing fuel to a gasification zone through a concentric burne:r-arrangement of first, second, third and fourth concentric annular channels and one central channel, and producing auto-thermically a ~aseous stream containing synthesis gas, and including: supplying the oxy~en-containing gas through the first and third channels at a relatively high ~elocity of 50-150 m/sec., ~upplying hydrocarbon-containing gas and/or moderator gas through the central channel and the fourth concentric channel encircling the central channel at a medium velocity of 5-84 m/sec.; and supplying liquid or solid hydrocarbon-containing fuel through the second concentric channel encircling the first concentric channel at a relatively low velocity of 0-15 m/sec., provided that the respective velocities ar~ measured at the outlet of the said respective concentric channels into the gasification zone.
The velocity measurement can be carried out in any way suitable for the purpose and will not be described in detail.
It will be understood that the autothermic production of the gaseous stream is carried out under a~propriate conditions.
In an advantageous embodiment of th~ invention for only low amounts of h,vdrocarbon containing gas supply, the hydrocarbon-containing gas and/or moderator gas supplied via the central channel or passage is replaced by oxidizer at a similar velocity.
In still another advantageous embodiment of the invention the moderator is steam or carbon dioxide.
In. still another advantageous embodiment of the invention the gasification process is carried out at a pressure of 0.1-12 MPa.
~i; , - ~32~878 Multi-orifice burners comprising arrangements of annular concentric channels for supplying oxygen, fuel and moderator to gasification zones are known as such and will not be described in detail.
Usually such burners comprise hollow wall members with internal cooling fluid passages. However, the burner may for example be provided with a suitable ceramic or refractory lining applied onto or suspended by a means closely adjacent to the outer surface of the burner front wall for resisting the heat load during operation or heat-up/shut down situations of the burner.
According to the invention the oxygen and the fuel are supplied to the gasification zone through the respective channels at specific velocities in order to obtain a good atomization and mixing.
