Patent number: 6455011Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating wastes by two-stage gasification recovers metals or ash content in the wastes in such a state that they can be recycled, and gases containing carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) for use as synthesis gas for ammonia (NH3) or production of hydrogen gas. The wastes are gasified in a fluidized-bed reactor at a low temperature. Then, gaseous material and char produced in the fluidized-bed reactor are introduced into a high-temperature combustor, and gasified at a high temperature and ash content is converted into molten slag. After water scrubbing and a CO conversion reaction, the gas is separated into H2 and residual gas. The residual gas is then supplied to the fluidized-bed reactor as a fluidizing gas.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1999Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignees: Ebara Corporation, Ube Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Fujimura, Yoshio Hirayama, Shosaku Fujinami, Kazuo Takano, Masaaki Irie, Tetsuhisa Hirose, Shuichi Nagato, Takahiro Oshita, Toshio Fukuda

Publication number: 20020088235Abstract: In an improved system for recovering heat from a combustion gas produced by burning wastes, the combustion gas or combustible gas produced by partial burning of the wastes subjected to dust filtration in a temperature range of 450-650° C. at a filtration velocity of 1-5 cm/sec under a pressure of from −5 kPa (gage) to 5 MPa before heat recovery is effected. The dust filtration is preferably performed using a filter medium which may or may not support a denitration catalyst. Heat recovery is preferably effected using a steam superheater.

Patent number: 6168425Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating solid wastes such as refuse-derived fuel or biomass wastes by pyrolysis gasification in a fluidized-bed gasification furnace 1, and then high-temperature combustion in a melting furnace 9. A primary combustion in a fluidized-bed 4 of the gasification furnace is carried out at a temperature of 600±50° C., a secondary combustion in a freeboard 3 of the gasification furnace is carried out at a temperature of 725±75° C., and a tertiary combustion in the melting furnace 9 is carried out at a temperature higher than a fusion temperature of ashes by 50 to 100° C. An oxygen ratio (a ratio of an amount of oxygen supplied for combustion to a theoretical amount of oxygen for combustion) in the primary combustion is in the range of 0.1 to 0.3, an oxygen ratio in the secondary combustion is in the range of 0.05 to 0.1, an oxygen ratio in the tertiary combustion is in the range of 0.9 to 1.1, and a total oxygen ratio is about 1.3.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1999Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: Ebara CorporationInventors: Shosaku Fujinami, Kazuo Takano, Masaaki Irie, Tetsuhisa Hirose, Takahiro Oshita
