대부분의 산업용 가스터빈은 고발열량의 액체 및 가스연료를 사용하도록 설계되었다. 그러나 이러한 고발열량 에너지원인 석유나 천연가스등은 자원의 고갈, 가격문제 및 환경문제 등으로 인해 점차적으로 사용량이 줄어들 전망이다. 그러므로, 최근 들어 석유 및 천연가스를 대체할 수 있는 대체연료에 대한 맡은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 그 중에서도 중발열량 또는 저발열량 연료인 석탄가스 및 중잔사유 가스의 활용성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고있다.(중략)

폐기물의 감량화 및 자원화 기술 중 가장 대표적인 기술로 폐기물의 가스화 용융 기술을 들 수 있다. 폐기물 가스화 용융 기술은 폐기물 내의 탄소 및 수소 성분은 가스화 하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스(synthesis gas, syngas)로 전환하고, 불연물은 용융하여 환경적으로 무해한 슬래그 또는 금속으로 회수하는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 고발열량폐기물과 탈수슬러지 혼합가스화를 통하여 생산된 합성가스를 합성가스 압축기를 통하여 유용한 원료물질을 제조하는 공정인 수성가스 전환 반응(water gas shift reaction)과 가스화 반응기의 보조연료로 투입하기 위한 합성가스 압축, 이송 시스템의 운전 특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 고발열량폐기물과 탈수슬러지 혼합가스화에서 합성가스는 안정적으로 발생하였으며, 합성가스 압축, 이송시스템을 위한 정제설비에서의 분진제거는 99.07 %의 효율을 얻었고, 또한 합성가스 재순환 장치의 성능시험을 통하여 대기 중의 산소가 유입이 안 되는 기밀성을 확인하였다. 합성가스 압축, 이송 공급 유량 제어 실험 결과로는 합성가스 압축기 기동 시 합성가스 압축압력과 공급유량은 비례적으로 증감하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Upgrading technology has been studied for efficient utilization of low rank coal. Spray coating of heavy oil was applied on the upgrading process in order to stabilize low rank coal against spontaneous combustion. Low rank coal, which contains more than 30wt% of moisture, was upgraded to high calorific coal and stabilized by spray coating of heavy oil. It was identified that spray coating of heavy oil after drying coal is the optimum procedure of upgrading low rank coal. The experimental results show that more than 2wt% of heavy oil should be adsorbed on the coal in order to stabilize sufficiently for spontaneous combustion.

Stoker type incinerator is one of the most popular one used as municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration because, in general, it is quite suitable for large capacity and need no preprocessing facility. Nowadays, however, since the combustible portion of incoming MSW increases together with the decrease of the moisture content due to prohibition of directly burying food waste in landfill, the heating value of waste is remarkably increasing in comparison with the early stage of incinerator installation. Consequently, the increased heating value in incinerator operation causes a number of serious problems such as reduction of waste amount to be burned due to the boiler heat capacity together with the significant NO generation in high temperature environment. Therefore, in this study, a series of numerical simulation have been made as parameters of waste amount and the fraction of moisture in air stream in order to investigate optimal operating condition for the resolution of the problems associated with the high heating value of waste mentioned above. In specific, a detailed turbulent reaction flow field calculation with NO model was made for the full scale incinerator of D city. To this end, the injection method of moisturized air as oxidizer was intensively reviewed by the addition of moisture water amount from 10% and 20%. The calculation result, in general, showed that the reduction of maximum flame temperature appears consistently due to the combined effects of the increased specific heat of combustion air and vaporization heat by the addition of water moisture. As a consequence, the generation of NOx concentration was substantially reduced. Further, for the case of 20% moisture amount stream, the afterburner region is quite appropriate in temperature range for the operation of SNCR. This suggests the SNCR facility can be considered for reoperation. which is not in service at all due to the increased heating value of MSW.

The interest on the utilization of landfill gases and biogases for energy production has been increasing due to environment concerns and global warming caused by burning fossil fuels, renewable nature of these gases. Using those synthesis gases to generate energy with engine encourages more efficient collection reducing emissions into the atmosphere and generates revenues for the operators. However the lower calorific value of synthesis gases than that of LPG or CNG affects the combustion stability and power output. Thus it becomes necessary to address disadvantages involved by studying synthesis gases in technological perspective. This paper discussed synthesis gas as a fuel for 60kW dual-fuel engine to produce power in an effective way. The methane diluted with $N_2$ was used as a fuel and developed ECU and injector driver facilitated the investigations with diesel fuel.

바이오매스 가스화 프로세스 개발에 있어서 가장 기본적인 해결과제는 고발열량의 합성가스 제조, 냉가스 효율의 향상, 타르 발생량 저감 및 제거이다. 가스화 효율 향상에 대한 연구는 국내외 적으로 많이 이루어지고 있으나, 타르 발생량 저감에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어져 있지 않다. 타르는 분자량이 큰 방향적 탄화수소로 응축되면 점성이 높아 배관폐쇄, 정제설비의 압력손실 증가로 인해 운전정지 및 가스화율 저하의 원인이 된다. 가스화로에서 타르 발생량을 저감시키는 방법 중에는 Ni계 촉매를 이용하는 방법이 있으나, 카본 누적에 의한 활성저하, 알칼리금속에 의한 응집 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 한편 철산화물은 합성가스 중의 C2-C3계의 타르를 분해하는데 효과가 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적벽돌, 염색슬러지 회재 등에는 철산화물이 다량 함유되어 있는 것에 착안하여 폐기물중의 폐금속을 이용한 바이오매스 가스화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 점토광물계 폐기물인 적벽돌 파쇄물($SiO_2$ 67.2%, $Al_2O_3$ 19.7%, $Fe_2O_3$ 8.7%, $K_2O$ 2.0%, $TiO_2$ 1.2%, MgO 0.7%)을 전처리 한 후 유동매체로하여 우드펠렛을 가스화한 결과, 가스 생성량이 증가하고, 타르 및 탄화수소류가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히 타르는 후단의 타르 트랩에서 타르가 거의 검출이 되지 않았다. 전처리를 하지 않은 적벽돌 파쇄물은 반응시간이 경과한 후에 가스화율이 증가함에 따라 철화합이 가스화로내에서 환원되어 타르를 분해하는데에는 어느 정도의 반응시간이 필요한 것을 확인하였다.

An introduction of landfill tax has been recently in issue in order to raise the financial resource for establishing waste resource-circulation society. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the plan of increasing energy recovery from waste at Incheon Metropolitan City, and to propose several points to be considered in terms of introducing the landfill tax. There are a lot of problems that impede energy recovery from waste at Incheon Metropolitan City, such as high-calorific waste from decrease of food waste to the municipal incineration plant, metals and batteries in the standard plastic garbage bag, etc. Alternative policies to solve these major problems have been drawn.

In this study, the wastes were used as fuels for direct reduction iron (DRI) production to reduce production cost and recycle the wastes. We examined the effects of wastes on the reduction behavior of DRI manufacture and the possibility of using wastes as auxiliary fuels. The proximate and Ultimate analysis were carried out to confirm the properties of wastes as fuels, and high-quality reduced irons were fabricated by using the waste as an auxiliary fuel. The metallization of reduced irons increased as the calorific value increase of auxiliary fuel. Especially, the reduced irons fabricated from the waste tires and vinyl plastics which had high heat energy and volatile matters showed higher metallization than the others. The high calorific value and volatility of waste were significant properties as fuel. The high quality DRI could be fabricated with wastes as auxiliary fuels through optimization of reaction conditions.
