Patent ID: 8603204

Claim:
A device for generating a synthesis gas from a biomass by entrained-flow gasification, comprising: (a) a treatment plant for the biomass, comprising a first coarse crushing device for the biomass, a first lock, a pressurized carbonization plant for hydrothermal generation of carbonization char from the biomass, a second lock, a solid-liquid separation device for providing a fuel, a drying device for drying the fuel, and a second crushing device, wherein the first coarse crushing device is connected downstream via the first lock to the pressurized carbonization plant, wherein the pressurized carbonization plant comprises a preheating device, a carbonization reactor arranged downstream of the preheating device, and a hot water line extending from the carbonization reactor to the preheating device for recirculating process water, wherein the carbonization reactor downstream via the second lock to the solid-liquid separation device, wherein the solid-liquid separation device is connected downstream to the drying device, wherein the drying device is connected downstream to the second crushing device, and wherein the second crushing device provides crushing of the fuel to form a pulverized fuel having particle sizes in the range of 55 μm to 500 μm; (b) a transfer device for transferring the fuel; and (c) an entrained-flow gasification plant, wherein the transfer device provides a coupling of the treatment plant to the entrained-flow gasification plant, and wherein the entrained-flow gasification plant is located remotely from the treatment plant.
