Cover Story: Slagging gasifiers are preferred to gasify a waste product such as petcoke from petroleum refineries. This process of utilizing a solid fuel to produce syngas has a much lower carbon footprint than conventional combustion methods. Gasifier’s refractory lining is critical in plant operability and maintenance costs. Corrosive elements in petcoke’s slag such as vanadium and nickel are detrimental for refractories made from even expensive chromium oxide. Alumina refractories are much less expensive but will corrode more than chromium oxide refractories. An interface is formed when alumina from refractory is dissolved by slag. This modelling study indicated that if alumina content of the slag is modified by using fluxing agents, then dissolution of alumina from the refractory can be reduced. View this paper.
