Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0924288A2] Bulk material in a chamber is continuously stirred, preventing channeling. The residence time of gases in the packed bed suffices to decompose tar content of fuel gas produced, by catalytic effect of the coked solids. Independent claims are included for: (i) a gasification reactor with a vertical shaft containing a grid at a narrow location, inlets for air (L) and a chamber below the grid, with a stirrer (13) in the chamber (10) preventing channeling in the packed bed (16); and (ii) a further gas production process. Preferred Features: The residence time is 0.4 seconds minimum, at 700-950 degrees C. A stirrer turns in the bed, e.g. a screw. The air is supplied to the chamber at several locations, one above the other. Some is supplied via the stirrer. Solids are extracted from the chamber with quasi-static bed and transferred into a fluidized bed with reactive fluidizing medium. Chamber filling by the packed bed is measured, residual solids (ash) being withdrawn accordingly at the base. Calcium-containing additive, especially dolomite, is added to the solids to be gasified.
