2 Introduction Biomass: Black Liquor Gasification (BLG) What is Black Liquor? Heat and Chemical Recovery: Current Recovery Process (Kraft Recovery Boiler) Gasification Recovery Process (BLG) Advantages of BLG Process Petroleum Coke Gasification (PCG) Considering the current environmental issues, is there a future for sulfur-containing low grade fuels? Could be a similarity between PCG and BLG? 2
3 What is Black Liquor? 3
4 Current Kraft Recovery Cycle 4
5 BL Gasification Recovery Cycle 5
6 BLG Effect on Emission Efficiency of a typical Recovery Boiler is 64% (power production < 15%) Efficiency of a typical BLG is 74% The industry s vision is to become a net exporter of electricity Approximately 11% reduction in GHG emissions US paper production is about 100 million tones per year Approximate energy content in BL: North America 1.35 EJ World 2.4 EJ 6
7 Petroleum Coke Pet coke has: high heating value (~14,000 Btu/lb) low ash levels (less than 0.5%) low moisture (~ 8%) There is plenty of pet coke (over 60 MT/yr most at coastal refineries) Pet coke contains: high sulfur levels (~ 4-7%) low grindability (Hardgrove index HGI ~ 35-70) some potentially harmful heavy metals, such as Vanadium, Mercury, Nickel, etc. As a fuel source, It is limited due to: It does not burn easily Its direct burning has harmful emissions 7
8 Pet Coke & Black Liquor* Compositions *North American Wood Species Typical Pet Coke Composition % Wt Aqueous Phase %Wt Na2CO3 18 NaHS 2 H2O Kraft Black Liquor Composition % dry Sodium Potassium Chloride Carbon Oxygen Sulfur 3-7 Hydrogen 3-5 Nitrogen Moisture Ash Ash Elements ppm Vanadium Nickel Iron There is a close similarity between concentrated black liquor and a slurry mixture of pet coke and green liquor 8
9 Objectives of BLG & PCG Processing Aqueous Black Liquor to Obtain: Combustible gases (mainly CO, H2 and CH4) with: High Heating Values (HHV) over 100 Btu/scf H2/CO ratio 1 Sulfide-rich melt -- sulfate reduction efficiency of Na2S/(Na2S + Na2SO4) 93% Gasification of Pet Coke to: Upgrading low-value petroleum coke to clean fuel gas or synthesis gas Recover elemental sulfur and vanadium concentrate 9
10 Gasification Technology: R/D and Commercialization History Numerous techniques are developed for gasifying black liquor, coal and other carbonaceous fuels In 1983 EPRI listed 22 coal gasification processes Recently, only 9 technologies are listed by NETL as being in use or under R&D activity and all focused on coal gasification Initially, over 20 BLG technologies were developed From that list, only two are currently under further development; none is fully commercialized Gasification on Molten Salt Pool: In period, a series of research efforts on both bench-scale and pilot-scale, funded by DOE, were conducted. These comprehensive tests have clearly illustrated that gasification of Kraft mill black liquor and pet coke/green liquor slurry is technically feasible, 10 economically attractive, and environmentally cleaner
11 The Concept: Pilot-Scale Gasifier Gasification on Molten Salt Pool At start up: 70 % Na2CO3 30% Na2S 11
12 Laboratory-Scale Molten Salt Gasifier 12
13 The Gasification Process The Stages of Gasification Process Atomization High pressure liquid, splash plate, or steam assisted atomization Drying Devolatilization (Pyrolysis) Swelling Drying is aided by mixing and droplets swelling The temperature range of devolatilization is fairly narrow (~ oc) Droplet heating is rapid droplets of about 1mm in size reach above 450 oc before devolatilization is complete Swelling of the particles during devolatilization enhances external transport of oxygen during gasification Devolatilization rate in oxidizing environment tend to be faster Over half of the carbon in the solid would remain as residue after devolatilization and arrive to the gasification zone 13
14 The Gasification Process On molten salt pool (the gasification zone) Turbulent mixing with molten salt and air bubbles Carbon oxidation (produces mainly CO, H2 and heat) Positive aspect of the inorganic salt pool The inorganic matters increase the rate of char gasification The presence of Na2SO4 and Na2S enhance carbon oxidation through the sulfate/sulfide cycle that transports oxygen to the pool surface The top area of the salt pool provides a surface for air/carbon contact, and it protects the sulfide from re-oxidization Important reactions on the molten salt: Reduction of the oxidized forms of sulfur (mainly sulfate to sulfide) 4C + Na2SO4 Na2S + 4CO 2C + Na2SO4 Na2S + 2CO2 In absence of carbon and in case of excess oxygen (not likely), the sulfide may oxidize 2O2 + Na2S Na2SO4 14

Kohl 16
17 Pet Coke Gasification Test Results (PCG in Air and in O2/steam ) Gasification in air Source: A.L. Kohl & J. A. Ashworth Gasification in O2/steam 17
18 Conclusions Molten salt gasification process provides a means of converting sulfur containing biomass fuel and low-value petroleum coke to clean fuel gas The process recovers: inorganic pulping chemicals in BLG Elemental sulfur and vanadium in PCG The presence of molten salt pool serve an important role as catalysts in gasification of fixed carbon Almost any carbonaceous material, e.g., pet coke, residual oil, coal, and wood can be converted to clean fuel gas Gasification in pure O2/steam provides hydrogen rich product gas with medium-btu HHV 18
19 Challenges and Barriers Capital cost Market penetration (conservative industries) Technical issues Corrosion problem (presence of alkali metals) Advances in refractory material Slurry atomization spray system design (critical drying zone issue) Process scaling Moving from small scale R/D tests to full scale commercial size gasifier 19
