Method for determining optimal parameters of operating state in atmospheric coal gas generator

This article describes one method for determining the optimal operating parameters of an atmospheric coal gas generator from the composition of the resulting generator gas. The atmospheric gas generator is a device for producing synthesis gas for fuel in the power industry, and complex physical and chemical processes are carried out inside the gas generator, so it is difficult to determine the its optimal parameters. A study was conducted to determine the optimal parameters by calculating the operating parameters based on the elemental analysis composition of the coal and the composition of the produced generator gas and comparing them with the current operating parameters to achieve the best conditions. As a result of the calculation, the air flow, steam flow, energy conversion efficiency of the gas generator, the composition of the gas that should have been obtained in the current operating state are calculated, and the operating parameters are specified by comparing and analysing with the actual values. The results of the study have been successfully introduced in a test atmospheric gas generator and can be extended to other types of gas generators.
