A biomass gasification gas purification system has a dust removal apparatus for filtering soot and dust from biomass gasification gas (including tar component) obtained through the gasification of the biomass using a biomass gasification furnace, a desulfurization apparatus for removing sulfur oxide component in the filtered biomass gasification gas, first to third pre-reformation reactors that provide pre-reforming catalyst for reforming the tar component in the biomass gasification gas after desulfurization, and first and second coolers that are interposed between the first to third pre-reformation reactors, and for cooling the reformed gas.

Biomass gasification gas purification system and method, and methanol production system and method

A biomass gasification gas purification system includes a dust collector for removing dust in biomass gasification gas (containing tar components) acquired by gasifying biomass by a biomass gasification furnace, a desulfurizer for removing sulfur oxide components in the dust-removed biomass gasification gas, a pre-reforming reactor for reforming tar components in the desulfurized biomass gasification gas, a steam feed unit for feeding steam to an upstream side of the pre-reforming reactor, and a natural-gas feed unit for feeding natural gas on an upstream side of the desulfurizer.
