Abstract
In accordance with the new near-zero emission coal utilization system with combined gasification and combustion, which is based on the CO acceptor gasification process, the product gas composition of the gasifier and the combustor was calculated by means of thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software FactSage 5.2. Based on these calculations, the whole system efficiency calculation method that complies with the mass and energy conservation principle was established. To enhance the system efficiency, the system pressure and the gasifier carbon conversion ratio were optimized. The results indicate that the system efficiency increases with increasing pressure and gasifier carbon conversion ratio. After taking into consideration the influence of the pressure and carbon conversion ratio on the performance of the system, the gasifier and the combustor were synthetically studied. The optimum system pressure and carbon conversion ratio were obtained as 2.5 MPa and 0.7, respectively. The system efficiency could reach around 62.1% when operated in these two optimum parameters. If the advanced ion transport membrane (ITM) air separation technology is used, there would be an increase of another 1.3%.
