A gasification melting facility comprises: a fluidized bed gasification furnace that generates pyrolysis gas by thermally decomposing waste and discharges incombustibles; a melting furnace into which the pyrolysis gas is fed; a pyrolysis gas passage that connects the fluidized bed gasification furnace and the melting furnace; a grinder that grinds the incombustibles discharged from the fluidized bed gasification furnace by passing the incombustibles through a plurality of rods; a vibratory sifter that screens the incombustibles ground in the grinder; a fixed amount feeder that feeds at a fixed amount the incombustibles that pass through the vibratory sifter, the fixed amount feeder including a plurality of transfer chambers rotatable between a position to receive the incombustibles from the vibratory sifter and a position to discharge the incombustibles; and an airflow conveyor that conveys the fixed amount of the incombustibles from the fixed amount feeder together with airflow.

Gasification melting facility

This gasification melting facility includes: a fluidized bed gasification furnace that generates pyrolysis gas by thermally decomposing waste and discharges incombustibles; a vertical cyclone melting furnace that includes a pyrolysis gas duct through which the pyrolysis gas is introduced; a pyrolysis gas passage that connects the fluidized bed gasification furnace with the pyrolysis gas duct of the vertical cyclone melting furnace; pulverizer that pulverize the incombustibles into pulverized incombustibles so that the particle size of the incombustibles becomes fine; and airflow transporter that puts the pulverized incombustibles in the pyrolysis gas passage, and separating metal contained in the pulverized incombustibles by a difference in specific gravity while conveying the pulverized incombustibles together with airflow. The pyrolysis gas and the pulverized incombustibles are melted in the vertical cyclone melting furnace.

A garbage supply device, which supplies waste to a gasification furnace that gasifies waste, includes a casing, two feed screws provided in the casing, and a middle shaft that is provided between the two supply screws, has a plurality of protrusions, and is repeatedly rotated forward or backward.

Garbage supply device

A combustion device includes a device main body having a combustion chamber installed above a cyclone melting furnace configured to combust a pyrolysis gas generated from a waste material after incineration while turning the pyrolysis gas, and configured to combust an unburnt gas discharged from the cyclone melting furnace. Further, the combustion device includes a plurality of sidewall boiler water pipes configured to cover a sidewall of the device main body from a periphery thereof and extending along the sidewall throughout upward and downward directions of the device main body.

Combustion device

A fluidized bed gasification furnace includes a control device that identifies a defective fluidization spot of a fluidized bed based on distribution of temperatures detected by a plurality of temperature sensors, temporarily increases an amount of supplied combustion gas to air boxes located below the identified defective fluidization spot, and increases a speed of discharge of noncombustibles and a fluidization medium discharged by an extruder.

Fluidized bed gasification furnace

A waste material supply device includes a hopper into which a waste material is supplied, a first rubbish supply apparatus having an inlet connected to an outlet of the hopper and a pusher configured to push out the waste material in a horizontal direction, a connecting chute having an upper portion connected to an outlet of the first rubbish supply apparatus to form a space extending upward and downward, and a second rubbish supply apparatus having an inlet connected to a lower portion of the connecting chute and a screw configured to convey the waste material in an axial direction according to rotation about an axis thereof, wherein the first rubbish supply apparatus has a plurality of pushers in a widthwise direction, and each of the pushers is able to be individually manipulated.
