Abstract

This paper describes the calculation method to obtain the product composition of coal pyrolysis at high pressure and high temperature. The products of coal pyrolysis should be determined for the coal gasifier simulation, and this is the first step of the coal gasifier simulation. The pyrolysis product distribution greatly affects the coal gasifier efficiency such as carbon conversion, cold gas efficiency and the syngas composition at the outlet of the gasifier. The present calculation method is based on the coal ultimate/proximate analysis and several correlations among gasifier pressure, coal properties and pyrolysis products. The calculated products for 5 coals have been compared with those from the commercial pyrolysis model.
