ABSTRACT:
Carbonaceous material is gasified in a first pyrolysis zone substantially in an absence of free oxygen by heating with a solid heating media. The carbonaceous material is conducted through the first pyrolysis zone in turbulent flow to provide for the rapid transfer of heat to effect the gasification.
Gaseous products are recovered while char products are introduced into a second pyrolysis zone for additional gasification. The second pyrolysis zone is maintained substantially free of free oxygen. Gasification in the second pyrolysis zone is effected by the transfer of heat from a heating media to the char products produced in the first pyrolysis zone.
Gaseous products from the second pyrolysis zone are recovered.
The char products from the second pyrolysis zone can be heated to a temperature sufficient for use as a solid heating media.
The gaseous product from the first pyrolysis zone, after separation from the char product, can be cooled to a lower temperature to condense a liquid product therefrom.
Liquid products produced can be recycled to the pyrolysis zones to produce additional gaseous products. The gaseous product from the second pyrolysis zone can be used as a conveying gas for the carbonaceous feed, char products, and recycle char.
A portion of the char product and the gaseous product can be converted to methane for the production of pipeline gas.
