Definition of a system to extract hot gas from an entrained flow gasifier
(2013) In LUTMDN/TMHP--13/5288--SEDepartment of Energy Sciences
- Abstract
- This project work covers the design and construction of a new probe system for hot gas
analysis in an entrained flow gasifier. The aim is a probe that can be used more flexibly
than the present system. As a further aim, the condensation of trace materials has to be
prevented. First, a short overview over current techniques to analyse the product gas in
a gasification process is given. Continuing, the report describes the finding and assessing
of several possible principles of hot gas extraction from a gasification process using simulations
in ANSYS Fluent. The best performing design based on defined trace component
condensation is built for a verification experiment and tested under controlled conditions
in a tube furnace.... (More) - This project work covers the design and construction of a new probe system for hot gas

of retrieved samples via x-ray induced fluorescence. Temperature measurements show
that the planned effect of mixture cooling is exceeded by far by convective cooling of the
probe. Although simulations were promising, the approach is not applicable under current
operating conditions due to problems with the measurement system. Furthermore,
the amount of condensed trace material in the retrieved samples proves not to be sufficient
for quantitative analysis via x-ray fluorescence. An alternative system to retrieve hot gas
while maintaining it at high temperatures out of the gasifier is then modeled. (Less)
