Project: Develop Reliable Technology for Measuring
Internal Gas Temperatures within Coal Gasifiers
Overview of R&D project for the Department of Energy and
National Energy Technology Laboratory:
- Adapt acoustic pyrometer technology to make it suitable
for measuring gas temperature inside a coal gasifier
- Develop a prototype sensor based on this technology
- Demonstrate its performance through testing on a
commercial gasifier.
Benefits of this technology include:
- The ability to balance high carbon conversion, which
requires operation at high internal gas temperatures,
against reduced refractory life which is exacerbated by high
gas temperatures
- A reliable alternative to thermocouples, which are prone
to failure within days or weeks after start-up
Applications of this technology include:
- Coal gasifiers
- Biomass gasifiers
- Other high-temperature, high-pressure processes
