Taking a 62 000 m3/h circulating fluidized bed (CFB) gasifier as the research example, based on the stable operation of the gasifier without coking, the effects of following influence factors on the constituents of coal gas, the heating value of coal gas and the carbon content of slag were studied, such as the size distribution of raw coal particles, the temperature of the lower part in furnace, the ratio of air to coal, the ratio of steam to coal and the oxygen flow rate, after which, a comprehensive adjustment was carried out. Results show that by adjusting each of the influence factors, both of the heating value of coal gas and the contents of effective constituents can be improved to a certain extent, and the carbon content of slag can be reduced significantly. By adjusting all influence factors at the same time, under 75% and 100% rated load, the heating value of coal gas can be increased to 6 504-6 603 kJ/m3, and the carbon mass fraction of slag can be reduced to 13.45%-16.27%. The adjustment presents a good effect, which may serve as a reference for the economic operation adjustment of similar gasifiers.
