Therefore, we have developed a new technology for producing the needle coke,featuring the manipulation of temperature range in a narrow scale at high pressure coupled with feedstock alternations. This new kind of technology has been successfully applied in a 60kt/a commercial coking unit. Provided that demand for the feedstock quality is satisfied, petroleum needle coke meeting the international quality standard can be manufactured using RIPP's technology for producing petroleum needle coke.展开更多

Its configuration and overall dimensions, initially conceived for 800 kW, were recently re-tuned, from a functional point of view and on the base of a parallel theoretical analysis, by decreasing to about 400 kW the former nominal power level. This provision, jointly with the basic design choice of adopting a long and amply dimensioned inlet-biomass thermal pretreatment section, turned out quite effective in achieving high gasification temperatures and a low-tar content in the produced gas at fuel-to-air ratios well below the usually imposed ones, to the advantage of the heat value of the product-gas. The paper discusses the numerical analysis results which helped to properly re-adjust the operational parameters of the gasifier and then presents the experimental performance data of the overall power plant including biomass consumption, gasification temperatures, gas production, composition and pollutants content, cold-gas conversion efficiency and global electric efficiency. Special care is devoted to investigating the issue of a significant production of carbon-containing particulate matter in the product gas, which turns out made up of char and fixed carbon much more than of tar species.展开更多
