As a representative technology for the clean and efficient utilization of coal, modern coal gasification technology has made considerable improvement, and becoming more and more mature and environment friendly. Shell dry-feed coal gasification technology was one of the most advanced entrained-flow gasification technologies, and has been widely used all over the world. In this thesis, the reaction equilibrium model of Shell gasifier was established on ASPEN PLUS platform. From the influence of slag flow characteristics on the operation of gasifier, the operation strategy to maximize effective syngas production was studied, the monitoring methods for Shell gasifier operation status were discussed, and the optimal monitoring parameter was optimized.Some main works in this thesis are given as follows:1) Using the ASPEN PLUS platform and the gibbs free energy minimization method, the reaction equilibrium model of Shell gasifier was established. The applicable conditions of the model were verified by literature data and field data. It is concluded form the verification that the model can accurately simulate the relationship between gasifier feed, reaction temperature and syngas composition.2) Based on the Shell gasifier reaction equilibrium model, considering the minimum operating temperature constrained by slag fluidity characteristics, a four-step optimization method for gasifier optimum operation condition was proposed. The maximum effective syngas production for certain coal type can be achieved by the optimum oxygen coal ratio and steam addition flow. In addition, it can be used to further predict effective gas production and gasifier temperature. The applicability of the optimization strategy is preliminarily verified by the actual plant operation data.3) The advantages and disadvantages of various monitoring parameters for the gasifier operating condistion and the application scenarios were analyzed and discussed. Based on the water/steam density, the calculation method of the best on-line monitoring parameter (Gasifier Heat Duty), which is widely recognized in the industry, is improved. The plant operation data show that the improved calculation method can effectively eliminate the calculation error caused by the non-saturation of bolier circulating water, and it is more accurate than the original one. It can eliminate the influence of pressure fluctuation from steam network on calculation. Compared with the original steam measurement point, the density measurement point is closer to the gasifier reaction chamber outlet, thus the response speed of gasifier heat duty has been improved.This thesis can provide optimization strategy for Shell gasifier operating and monitoring, and further improve operation efficiency on the basis of ensuring safe and stable operation of the gasifier.
