Abstract

A new high-temperature allothermal gasification technology is used to process three types of oil waste: ground oil sludge (GOS), tank oil sludge (TOS), and petcoke. The gasifying agent (GA), mainly composed of H 2 O and CO 2 at a temperature above 2300 K and atmospheric pressure, is produced by pulsed detonations of a near-stochiometric methane-oxygen mixture. The gasification experiments show that the dry off-gas contains 80–90 vol.% combustible gas composed of 40–45 vol.% CO, 28–33 vol.% H 2 , 5–10 vol.% CH 4 , and 4–7 vol.% noncondensable C 2 –C 3 hydrocarbons. The gasification process is accompanied by the removal of mass from a flow gasifier in the form of fine solid ash particles with a size of about 1 μm. The ash particles have a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area ranging from 3.3 to 15.2 m 2 /g and pore sizes ranging from 3 to 50 nm. The measured wall temperatures of the gasifier are in reasonable agreement with the calculated value of the thermodynamic equilibrium temperature of the off-gas. The measured CO content in the off-gas is in good agreement with the thermodynamic calculations. The reduced H 2 content and elevated contents of CH 4 , CO 2 , and C x H y are apparently associated with the nonuniform distribution of the waste/GA mass ratio in the gasifier. To increase the H 2 yield, it is necessary to improve the mixing of waste with the GA. It is proposed to mix crushed petcoke with oil sludge to form a paste and feed the combined waste into the gasifier using a specially designed feeder.
