Study on Gasification Characteristics of Petroleum Asphalt in a Two-Stage Gasifier
Abstract:
The gasification performance of petroleum asphalt in a two-stage gasifier was investigated through experiments and simulations. The analysis results of asphalt samples show that the asphalt has characteristics of high volatile content, high calorific value, and low ash content. Coal pyrolysis model, gas-solid heterogeneous reaction model, gas homogeneous reaction model and Gibbs free energy minimization method were employed to build the two-stage entrained flow gasification model and simulate the asphalt gasification process using Aspen Plus software. The results indicate that the cold gas efficiency of asphalt is 3% higher than that of bituminous coal, while the consumption of coal and oxygen is 40% lower than that of bituminous coal. The gasification performance of asphalt is superior to that of coal. In addition, the cold gas efficiency of asphalt can be increased by about 3% when the two-stage gasification process is employed. The utilization rate of coal in the two-stage gasifier is much higher than that in traditional one-stage gasifier.
