Circulating fluidized bed-type gasification furnace and fluid medium flow rate control method

摘要

A gasification furnace (110) of a circulation fluidized bed-type gasification furnace (100) forms a fluid medium into a fluid bed, and produces gasified gas by gasifying an input gasification raw material using heat from the fluid medium. A combustion furnace (102) heats the fluid medium output from the gasification furnace. A flow rate adjuster (106) distributes the fluid medium heated in the combustion furnace to the gasification furnace and a buffer section (112). In this manner, irrespective of the flow rate of the fluid medium in the entire circulation fluidized bed-type gasification furnace (100), the buffer section (112) enables the fluid medium to bypass to the combustion furnace. As a result, the flow rate of the fluid medium in the gasification furnace (110) can be maintained at a desired flow rate.
