ABSTRACT
WATER BATH WETTING DEVICE A method and apparatus for wetting char and slag in a water bath below a coal gasification reactor operated under various conditions, such as different coal types. The said apparatus, which employs a conduit supplied with water and a wetting agent, is provided with replaceable threaded nozzles for wetting the slag to facilitate removal of various slags having particular wetting characteristics.
tIt t
I
TJ.1/T7017 G J -2- The present invention relates to an apparatus for wetting char and slag in a water bath.
More in particular, the invention relates to such an apparatus in a water bath below a coal gasification reactor.
Conventional systems for quenching molten slag from a coal gasification reactor typically employ an annular duct perforated with holes Si for injecting oil therefrom in a random manner to wet slag in a water bath below and sink the slag for example such as those disclosed in U.S. patent specification Nos. 4,425,254 and 4,323,366. The perforated ducts used in these systems have a fixed number of holes each with a fixed diameter and fixed angle of injection for a selected type of coal having speciflc i; wetting characteristics.
Various operating conditions such as the type or coal being gasified i can change the wetting characteristics of the unconverted carbon particles of slag and char. Conventional systems may require the replacement of the !i entire annular duct apparatus for another configuration.
However, providing a quenching system which is easily adjustable for the different wetting characteristics of different coal types producing characteristic amounts of char and slag would allow more flexibility to operate the coal gasification process under a wider range of operating conditions.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provi&. an apparatus for wetting char and slag in a water bath, which overcome the above problems.
The present invention therefore provides an apparatus for wetting char and slag discharged under a coal gasification reactor to a water bath located below the reactor, comprising a spray mechanism to suit coals of different wetting characteristics, said spray mechanism comprising a separate interchangeable annular conduit; means for installing the conduit above the water bath; the conduit being provided with threaded orifices i disposed about the annular conduit; the orifices having selected replaceable nozzles screwed therein; and means for injecting water or water and a wetting agei;t or water and a coagulating agent through the annular conduit wherein the diameter of the nozzles is 0),6 to 1.3cm.
As already indicated In the above, the present invention relates in particular to an apparatus for wetting char and slag in a water bath below a coal gasification reactor, hereinafter referred to as a gasifier, wherein tXsynthesis gas is generated.
,VKX&92y ~i 3 Generation of synthesis gas occurs by partially combusting organic or carbonaceous fuel, such as coal, at relatively high temperatures in the range of 800 to 2000 0 C and at a pressure range of from about 1 to 200 bar in the presence of oxygen or oxygen-containing gases in a gasifier. Steam, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen-containing gases including air, oxygen-enriched air, and oxygen are optionally diluted with nitrogen and/or other inert gases.
The combustion may be complete or partial, the object of the combustion process being the production of synthesis gas for power generations.
In the present invention, the ash which is the inorganic, incombustible mat.erial is separated from the fu, during the combustion of the mineral fuel.
Depending on the operating conditions under which combustion takes place, in particular the temperature and the quality of the fuel, the ash is mainly obtained in solid (hereinafter referred to as char) or liquid (hereinafter referred to as slag) condition or in a combination thereof. The char and slag exit the gasifier through a discharge opening, often referred to as a slag tap, and are generally collected in a water bath located below the slag tap of the reactor. In the 25 water bath both char and slag are cooled, the slag is solidified, and char and slag are subsequently discharged.
It is recognized by those skilled in the art that varying operating conditions, such as the temperature, quality, and type of fuel, can cause changes in the char and slag wetting characteristics and quantity. As a result, the conditions for removal the char and slag change.
The present invention relates to wetting the char and slag in the water bath to facilitate separating the i i i y

;I i; ii I -4char and s:Lna from water. A circular conduit containing water and possibly as wetting agent is provided with threaded ports for changing the nozzle configuratic~i depending on the wetting characteristics of the char D. and slag.
An advantage of the present invention is the capability of adjusting the wetting of the char and in the water bath according to ascertained wetting characteristics of the char and slag.
Although the invent~ion is described hereinafter primarily with reference to particulate coal, the method and apparatus according to the invention are are also suitable for other catalytic or finely divided parti cui Late reactive solids such as those which can be combust~ed as, for example, lignite, anthracite, U bitumintous brown coal, soot, petroleum coke and the like.. Advantageously, the size of the solid carbonaceous fuel is such that about 90 percent by weight of the fuel has a particle size smaller than No.
6 mesh 4The invention will now be des~ribed by way of J example in more detail by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. I illustrates a sectional view of an apparatus of the invention; Fig. 2 illustrates an angle of impingement of a nozzle configuration, applied in the apparatus of fig.
Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the nozzle configuration of fig,. 2; Fig. 4 ia a cross-section of an alternate nozzle configuration: and Fig. 5 is a plan view of an advantageous embodiment of a nozzle con'Ziguration.
The drawings are of the process flow type in which4

Referring to Fig. l1an apparatus, such as a conduit 26, for wetting char and slag 11 in a water bath 15 generally includes a nozzle configuration (shown in detail in Fig. 2) to achieve adequate wetting of the char and slag 11. For reason of clarity no specific details of the gasifier have been shown.
Factors considered in selecting the configuration include the diameter of the nozzle 12, the force of the water, including possibly a wetting agent injected through the conduit 26 to impinge on the char and slag 11 in the water bath 15, the angle of impingement 14, and the direction of the nozzle 12 with respect to the location of the discharge opening 16 (Fig. 1) of the water bath Referring to Fig. 3, the diameter of the nozzle 12 should be about 0,6-1,3 cm to yield a velocity of about 3 m per second which will force the char and slag particles to sink while preventing the nozzle 12 from plugging with solids contained in the water recycled to the conduit 26.
The angle of impingement 14 (Fig. 2) of the water and wetting agent from the nozzle 12 with respect to the surface 28 (Fig. 1) of the water bath 15 is advantageously about, 30 degrees.
The nozzles 12 are directed inwardly (Fig. 1) towards the discharge opening 16 (Fig. 1) of the water t bath 15 to facilitate separation and removal of the 30 char and slag.
It is recognized that various combinations of the above configurations could be used such as nozzles of different diameters and forces, angles of impingement, etc.
6 The selected configuration is installed, advantageously by screwing each selected nozzle 12 into a threaded orifice 17 as shown in Fig. 3. e threaded orifice 17 provides the capability of replac.ng the S nozzle 12 with another nozzle 18 having a smaller diameter and greater angle if impingement with respect to the horizontal as shown i Fig. 4 to yield u greater force for sinking the char ani slag to the bottom of the water bath At least one fluid, advantageously water, which is recirculated from the water bath 15 and a wetting agent are supplied to the conduit 26 as shown in Fig. Jets of water are formed in a single row (Fig. 2) with nozzles directed inwardly at an angle of about degrees from the horizontal. The char and slag particles 11 (Fig. 1) which have fallen into the water bath 15 are agitated to set the particles in motion one against the other. To facilitate coagulation, a coagulant can be added 'co the water supplied to the conduit 26. The char and slag particles agglomerate and sink to the bottom of the water bath 15 and are subsequently removed.
Various modifications of the present invention 't will become apparent to those skilled in the art from 25 the foregoing description. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
