This study is aimed to investigate changes of combustion characteristics and heat efficiency when syngas from gasification process using low-rank fuel such as waste and/or biomass is applied partially to an industrial boiler. An experimental study on syngas co-combustion was performed in a 0.7 MW (1 ton steam/hr) water tube boiler using heavy oil as a main fuel. Three kinds of syngas were used as an alternative fuel: mixture gas of pure carbon monoxide and hydrogen, syngas of low calorific value generated from an air-blown gasification process, and syngas of high calorific value produced from an oxygen-blown gasification process. Effects of co-combustion ratio (0~20%) for each syngas on flue gas composition were investigated through syngas injection through the nozzles installed in the side wall of the boiler and measuring $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO and NOx concentrations in the flue gas. When syngas co-combustion was applied, injected syngas was observed to be burned completely and NOx concentration was decreased because nitrogen-containing-heavy oil was partially replaced by the syngas. However, heat efficiency of the boiler was observed to be decreased due to inert compounds in the syngas and the more significant decrease was found when syngas of lower calorific value was used. However, the decrease of the efficiency was under 10% of the heat replacement by syngas.

Experimental studies are conducted to investigate the flame stability and the thermal/fuel NOx formation characteristics of the low calorific value(LCV) gas fuel. Synthetic LCV fuel gas is produced through mixing carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and ammonia on the basis that the thermal input of the syngas fuel into a burner is identical to that of natural gas, and then the syngas mixture is fed to and burnt with air on flat flame burner. Flame behaviors are observed to identify flame instability due to blow-off or flash-back when burning the LCV fuel gas at various equivalence ratio conditions. Measurements of NOx in combustion gas are made for comparing thermal and fuel NOx emissions from the LCV syngas combustion with those of the natural gas one, and for analyzing ammonia to NOx conversion mechanism. In addition, the nitrogen dilution of the LCV syngas is preliminarily attempted as a NOx reduction technique.

The aims of this research were to investigate combustion characteristics of lab-scale pressurized oxy-fuel combustion(POFC) system. In this study, the reactor, 800 mm long, was equipped with co-axial burner. Low calorific value syngas that is composed of mainly CO and $H_2$ was used as fuel whereas pure oxygen was used as an oxidant. Thermal heat input to the reactor varied from 2.6 kW to 6.1 kW. The reactor pressure also increases from atmospheric up to 15 bar. The results show that as the pressure increase, the temperature of reactor decreases on the whole in all cases. A significant temperature drop was observed especially at the bottom section of the reactor that exist flame. In addition, the flame instability increases as the pressure increases. Furthermore $NO_x$ emissions increases from atmospheric up to 2 bar. However beyond 2 bar, $NO_x$ emission reduces as pressure increases. Lastly $NO_2$ ratio in $NO_x$ also increases as pressure increases.

Experimental studies are conducted to investigate the flame stability and the thermal/fuel NOx formation characteristics of the low calorific value (LCV) coal derived gas fuel. Synthetic LCV fuel gas is produced by mixing carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and ammonia on the basis that the thermal input of the syngas fuel into a burner is identical to that of natural gas. The syngas mixture is fed to and burnt with air on flat flame burner. With the variation of the equivalence ratio for specific syngas fuel, flame behaviors are observed to identify the flame instability due to blow-off or flashback and to define stable combustion range. Measurements of NOx content in combustion gas are made for comparing thermal and fuel NOx from the LCV syngas combustion with those of the natural gas one. In addition, the nitrogen dilution of the LCV syngas is preliminarily attempted as a NOx reduction technique, and its effects on thermal and fuel NOx production are discussed.

In this study, a 3D CFD analysis method for the combustion process was established for a low calorific value syngas-diesel dual-fuel engine operating under very lean fuel-air mixture condition. Also, the accuracy of computational analysis was evaluated by comparing the experimental results with the computed ones. To simulate the combustion for the dual-fuel engine, a new dual-fuel chemical kinetics set was used that was constituted by merging two verified chemical kinetic sets: n-heptane (173 species) for diesel and Gri-mech 3.0 (53 species) for syngas. For dual-fuel mode operations, the early stage of combustion was dominated by the fuel burning inside or near the spray plume. After which, the flame propagated into the syngas in the piston bowl and then proceeded toward the syngas in the squish zone. With the baseline injection system and piston shape, a significant amount of unburned syngas was discharged. To solve this problem, effects of the injection parameters and piston shape on combustion characteristics were analyzed by calculation. The change in injection variables toward increasing the spray plume volume or the penetration length were effective to cause fast burning in the vicinity of TDC by widening the spatial distribution of diesel acting as a seed of auto-ignition. As a result, the unburned syngas fraction was reduced. Changing the piston shape with the shallow depth of the piston bowl and 20% squish area ratio had a significant effect on the combustion pattern and lessened the unburned syngas fraction by half.

석탄 및 pet coke (petroleum coke)는 그 이용이 제한적이지만 공급이 풍부한 에너지원이므로, 가스화공정에 적용하여 고급연료인 수소나 액체연료를 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열천칭반응기와 실험실규모의 유동층반응기(내경 0.02 m, 높이 0.6 m)에서 갈탄, 무연탄, pet coke의 수증기 가스화 반응특성을 조사하였다. 가스화 온도 $600{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, 수증기 분압 0.15~0.95 atm 및 수증기/연료 비의 조업변수가 가스화반응속도 및 생성가스의 발열량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 기체-고체 반응모델로서 modified volumetric reaction model을 적용하여 가스화반응의 거동을 묘사하고 kinetic 인자들을 도출하였다. 가스화 반응온도가 높을수록 생성가스 중의 수소농도와 가스의 발열량은 증가하였다. 생성가스 발열량은 무연탄 > 갈탄 > pet coke의 순으로 높게 나타났는데, 반응온도 $900^{\circ}C$, 수증기분압 95%의 조건에서 10.0 > 6.9 > 5.7 $MJ/m^3$로 각각 얻어졌다. 본 연구를 통하여 갈탄과 pet coke에 대해 가스화공정의 잠재적인 연료로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

지속적인 연료비용의 상승 및 가채매장량의 한계로 인하여 비재래형 연료 및 공정 부산물의 연료적 가치에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 그중 대표적인 것이 오일샌드 및 이의 부산물인 코크스의 이용기술이다. 본 연구에서는 오일샌드 코킹 공정에서 발생되는 오일샌드 코크스의 에너지화 이용을 위하여 실험실 규모의 고정층 가스화 시스템을 이용한 연구를 수행하였다. TGA를 이용하여 오일샌드 역청 및 코크스의 연소 반응특성을 확인하였으며, 실험실 규모의 가스 화기를 이용하여 산소/연료 비율, 온도 및 스팀주입량에 따른 가스화 후 생성되는 합성가스의 특성을 파악하였다. 오일샌드 코크스는 높은 탄소함량, 발열량 및 황 함량 특성을 보인 반면 낮은 회재함량과 반응성의 특성을 보였다. 오일샌드 코크스 가스화의 경우 일반적으로 온도, 스팀주입량 증가 및 산소주입량 감소에 따라 $H_2$ 생성량은 증가하였으며 $CO_2$ 생성량은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 합성가스 발열량은 $2100kcal/Nm^3$ 정도의 값을 보여 오일샌드 코크스의 수소원료 및 연료로서 이용 가능성을 확인하였다.
