Abstract
Our laboratory is developing "Supporting Tool to Optimize Design and Operation of Coal Gasifier" that integrates the experimental technique and the numerical analysis technology. To establish this tool, "3 T/D Coal Gasifier for Basic Research" that enable the achievement of wide range of gasification condition and the quantitative evaluation of the various phenomenon in gasifier, was designed and set up. A lot of special measurement equipment to clarify the discharge characteristic of molten slag and the ash adhesion characteristic to the gasifier wall have been introduced into this gasifier. From the gasification test results with Chinese coal, it was clarified to be able to evaluate the gasification performances in high accuracy.
