Introduc.on
• Industrial-‐scale coal gasifiers are primarily pressurized, O2-‐blown, entrained-‐flow variety
• Cost of gasifica.on systems provides strong incen.ve to op.mize using computa.onal simula.on
• Access to gasifiers for acquisi.on of valida.on data is challenging

Challenges of Valida.on Data Acquisi.on
• High temperature– 1300-‐1500°C at reactor exit– In excess of 2000°C within oxy-‐coal flame
• High pressure– IGCC applica.on typically 25-‐30 atm (400 psi)– Chemicals / fuel produc.on 70+ atm (1000+ psi)
• Corrosive environment– Reducing environment– Gaseous sulfur species (H2S, COS)– Molten coal slag
• Consequences– Crossing pressure boundary for gas sampling creates safety concerns– Thermocouples typically last only a few days

Experimental Evalua.on of Coal Conversion
• Drop tube (entrained-‐flow) furnaces– Pyrolysis yields– Char gasifica.on kine.cs– Physical transforma.ons of coal par.cles
• Wire mesh heaters– Pyrolysis yields
• Thermogravimetric analyzers (TGAs)– Heterogeneous char gasifica.on kine.cs
• Mini-‐gasifiers– Electrically heated– Gases (CO2, O2) supplied from laboratory
cylinders

“Small” versus “Big”
• Fundamental Studies (“small”)– Up to perhaps 2 kg/day in entrained-‐flow reactors– Bobled gases– Electrically heated
• Commercial-‐Scale Systems (“big”)– Hundreds of tons of coal (petcoke) per day– Oxygen-‐blown, with all associated mess– Difficult to access
• Need “medium” scale system to bridge this gap of 5 orders of magnitude

Bridging the Gap: UofU Gasifier
• Designed to operate like a “large” system– No electrical hea.ng– Only inputs are oxygen and coal (slurry)– Similar in design to a GE gasifier
• Accessible like a “small” system– Reactor “stretched out” to decrease diameter and allow sampling at mul.ple residence .mes
– Several (six) sampling ports down length of reactor– Six thermocouples for temperature measurement

Oxygen Supply System
• On-‐site oxygen tank– 6,000 gallons / 20 tons– Serves gasifica.on and oxy-‐fuel
systems
• “Trifecta” system to boost pressure– 325 psi– Limits standard opera.on pressure
to ca. 260 psi– Higher pressures require auxiliary
high pressure supply
• Flow control system to gasifier– Pressure regulator– Control valve– Coriolis flowmeter

Uncertainty Considera.ons
• Temperatures: Thermocouple junc.on located within wall, approx. 0.5 inch from refractory face, to extend thermocouple life
• Gas composi8on: Cooling within extrac.ve probe may affect gas composi.on due to:
– Changes in gas equilibrium composi.on at lower temperatures
– Absorp.on of minor cons.tuents (sulfur compounds, ammonia) by condensed water
– Condensa.on of e.g., polyaroma.c hydrocarbons as gas is cooled

• Condensed-‐Phase Material: Difficult to obtain instantaneous composi.ons. Must be aggregate over .me.
• All Data: Fluctua.ons on various .me scales need to be quan.fied

Conclusions
• Acquisi.on of data within reac.on zone of pressurized gasifier very challenging
• Gasifier performance strongly .ed to injector design and efficiency of fuel distribu.on
• Op.cal techniques offer unique opportunity for real-‐.me non-‐invasive sampling
• Quan.fica.on of data varia.on and associated uncertainty is important if data is to be used for valida.on of simula.ons
