− Coal gasification technology is considered as next generation clean coal technology even though it uses coal as fuel which releases huge amount of greenhouse gas because it has many advantages for carbon capture. Coal or pet-coke slurry gasification is very attractive technology at present and in the future because of its low construction cost and flexibility of slurry feeding system in spite of lower efficiency compared to dry feeding technology. In this study, we carried out gasification experiment using bituminous coal slurry sample by integrating coal slurry feeding facility and slurry burner into existing dry feeding compact gasifier. Especially, our experiment was conducted under fairly lower operation temperature than that of existing entrained-bed gasifier, resulting in partial slagging operation mode in which only part of ash was converted to slag and the rest of ash was released as fly ash. Carbon conversion rate was calculated from data analysis of collected slag and ash, and then cold gas efficiency, which is the most important indicator of gasifier performance, was estimated by carbon mass balance method. Fairly high performance considering pilot-scale experiment, 98.5% of carbon conversion and 60.4% of cold gas efficiency, was achieved. In addition, soundness of experimental result was verified from the comparison with chemical equilibrium composition and energy balance calculations.
The reduction of greenhouse gases and Carbon Neutral (Carbon Zero) due to global warming is agreed by all countries around the world. The increase in global average temperature to climate change is kept within 2°C compared to before industrialization and achieved 1.5°C in the long run. Korea has set a 37% reduction target (315 million tons) compared to the 2030 emission forecast (851 million tons) and is promoting various air pollution reduction technologies and R&D policies to reduce greenhouse gases and minimize the impact on climate change.
Currently, there are VOCs that are directly emitted into the atmosphere or that cause greenhouse gases as simple power generation and heat sources. Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene are strong carcinogens that cause leukaemia, central nervous disorder, chromosomal abnormalities, and hydrochloride can produce photochemical oxides by destruction of the ozone layer, global warming, and chain reactions of volatile organic compounds, causing eye irritation, reduced visibility, and damage to plants and crops.
VOCs reduction technology should reduce the amount of harmful substances in advance by controlling operating conditions and working conditions. Technologies that can effectively process VOCs throughput of 95% or more are heat storage combustion systems and heat storage catalyst combustion systems.
This paper proposes a heat delivery system specification design and emission concentration measurement technology for high-efficiency waste heat recovery of 100 CMM RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidation) device to reduce air pollution in VOCs generating sites. For the application of the waste heat recovery system, a 100CMM heat storage combustion oxidation system (RTO) is designed, and the performance is evaluated by measuring the concentration of VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions according to production process operating conditions.
