UNDERGROUND STORAGE METHOD FOR CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract

The present invention provides an underground storage method for carbon dioxide that ensures the strength of a carbon dioxide–blocking layer and makes it possible to reliably seal carbon dioxide at an appropriate depth range in the layers of the ground and efficiently store a large amount of carbon dioxide. The present invention provides an underground storage method for carbon dioxide that involves forming a carbon dioxide storage layer (G) by pressing carbon dioxide below a carbon dioxide–sealing region S that is a layer of ground that exists to a prescribed depth from the surface F of the seabed and satisfies pressure and temperature conditions that make it possible to generate carbon dioxide hydrate, forming a carbon dioxide–blocking layer (C) in the carbon dioxide–sealing region (S) by allowing at least a portion of the carbon dioxide pressed into the carbon dioxide storage layer (G) to naturally rise to the carbon dioxide–sealing region (S) side by the buoyancy of the carbon dioxide and thereby generating carbon dioxide hydrate, and storing the carbon dioxide at a depth range in the layers of ground below the surface (F) of the seabed that satisfies pressure and temperature conditions that balance the density of the carbon dioxide and the density of pore water.

Abstract

In this powder supply apparatus, a pressure difference is adjusted to be constant by adjusting pressure in a feed tank (11) by means of an inner pressure adjusting valve (22) connected to the feed tank (11), said pressure difference being a difference between pressure in a carrier gas main tube (33), which is connected to powder transport piping (31), and which introduces a carrier gas for transferring a powder, or pressure in a feed tank (11), and pressure in a powder transport piping (31). A powder flow quantity in the powder transport piping (31) is adjusted to be constant by means of a valve (21) for the powder, said valve being connected to the powder transport piping (31). After the powder flow quantity is adjusted by means of the valve (21), an open degree of the valve (21) is set constant, and the pressure difference, which has been adjusted to be constant at the time of adjusting the valve (21), is adjusted such that the powder flow quantity is constant, by adjusting the pressure in the field tank (11) by means of the inner pressure adjusting valve (22). This invention is capable of accurately controlling, in a short time, the quantity of the powder to be supplied. A powder supply method of the present invention has same features.

Abstract

By covering the inner circumferential surface of an outer cylinder with a vapor film, thermal conductivity is reduced and the phenomenon of sudden temperature increases in the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder can be prevented, thereby preventing heat damage to the outer cylinder. Additionally, burner burnout, caused by insufficient cooling resulting from irregularities in cooling efficiency at the burner tip, is also prevented. A tip, which is positioned inside a two-stage entrained-flow bed coal gasification furnace, has a double-walled cylindrical structure with an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, and is configured so that cooling water to cool the tip is supplied via the inside of the inner cylinder and, after cooling the tip, is returned to the base end via the space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, and is additionally configured so that the flow path surface area of the space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder is less than the flow path surface area formed inside the inner cylinder, thus configured so that a swirling flow along guides formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder, and a roughly linear flow in the lengthwise direction of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, are imparted to the cooling water that is returning to the base end via the space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

Abstract

It is intended to provide a method of controlling oxygen supply in an oxygen combustion burner whereby oxygen can be stably burnt even in the case where the properties of coal vary, and an apparatus therefor. Coal, the fuel ratio of which has been measured with a fuel-measuring unit (39), is subjected to oxygen combustion in a boiler (4) and the concentration of oxygen taken into the boiler during stable combustion is determined. Thus, the relationship between the coal fuel ratio and/or carbon content and the concentration of oxygen taken into the boiler is preliminarily determined and input into a controller. When another kind of coal is to be used, the total gas amount controller (12) is adjusted so as to give such a concentration of oxygen taken into the boiler fitting for the pre-determined coal fuel ratio and/or carbon content of the newly employed carbon to thereby control the total amount of the gas for the recirculation.
