Abstract

A biomass gasification system. The system includes: a) a gasifier; b) a waste heat exchanger; c) a waste heat boiler; d) a cyclone separator; e) a gas scrubber; f) a shift reactor; g) a desulfurizing tower; h) a first decarburizing tower; i) a synthesizing tower; and j) a second decarburizing tower. In the system, the gasifier, the waste heat exchanger, the cyclone separator, the gas scrubber, the shift reactor, the desulfurizing tower, the first decarburizing tower, the synthesizing tower, and the second decarburizing tower are connected sequentially. In addition, CO 2 outlets of the first decarburizing tower and the second decarburizing tower are both connected to a cold medium inlet of the waste heat exchanger; and a cold medium outlet of the waste heat exchanger is connected to a gasifying agent entrance of the gasifier.

First claim

a syngas outlet of the gasifier is connected to a heat medium inlet of the waste heat exchanger; a heat medium outlet of the waste heat exchanger is connected to a heat source inlet of the waste heat boiler;
a heat source outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to a gas inlet of the cyclone separator; a gas outlet of the cyclone separator is connected to an inlet of the gas scrubber;
an outlet of the gas scrubber is connected to a gas inlet of the shift reactor via a compressor; a vapor outlet of the waste heat boiler is connected to a vapor inlet of the shift reactor;
a vapor outlet of the shift reactor is connected to an inlet of the desulfurizing tower, and an outlet of the desulfurizing tower is connected to an inlet of the first decarburizing tower which is configured for the decarburizing of the syngas;
an outlet of the first decarburizing tower is connected to an inlet of the synthesizing tower; an exhaust outlet of the synthesizing tower is connected to an exhaust inlet of the second decarburizing tower which is configured for the decarburizing of the exhaust;
CO2 outlets of the first decarburizing tower and the second decarburizing tower are both connected to a cold medium inlet of the waste heat exchanger; and
a cold medium outlet of the waste heat exchanger is connected to a gasifying agent entrance of the gasifier.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the CO 2 outlets of the first decarburizing tower and the second decarburizing tower are both connected to an inlet of the gas holder, and an outlet of the gas holder is connected to the cold medium inlet of the waste heat exchanger via a blower.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the inlet of the gas holder is also connected to a CO 2 outlet of a calcinator.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an air distributor is disposed in a lower part of the chamber of the gasifier;
a wall of the gasifier above the air distributor comprises a primary gasifying agent entrance; the wall of the gasifier below the air distributor comprises an auxiliary gasifying agent entrance; an external energy entrance is disposed on the wall of the gasifier above the auxiliary gasifying agent entrance; and a cold medium outlet of the waste heat exchanger is connected to both the primary gasifying agent entrance and the auxiliary gasifying agent entrance.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein
an air distributor is disposed in a lower part of the chamber of the gasifier; a wall of the gasifier above the air distributor comprises a primary gasifying agent entrance; the wall of the gasifier below the air distributor comprises an auxiliary gasifying agent entrance; an external energy entrance is disposed on the wall of the gasifier above the auxiliary gasifying agent entrance; and a cold medium outlet of the waste heat exchanger is connected to both the primary gasifying agent entrance and the auxiliary gasifying agent entrance.
