Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for underground gasification of coal, according to which a gasifying agent is led through a borehole, which is sprayed in situ towards a coal seam, where a combustible gas is extracted. resulting from an incomplete combustion of said coal, which is brought to the surface in a current flowing against the current and around the jet of gasifying agent and which is led to the surface through said drilling (see US- A-4,010,801). We know that this ensures the formation of combustible gas generally comprising at least carbon monoxide, and very variable amounts of methane.
  • the object of the present invention is to simplify the means used to ensure in situ gasification of coal, in particular localized at a very great depth, by considerably simplifying the means used and by ensuring precise control of the phenomenon of incomplete combustion.
  • annular sheet of an insulating fluid is sent around the jet of gasifying agent, co-current thereof, intended to separate the jet and the stream of combustible gas.
  • the fluid of the annular ply is water, if necessary, in the form of water vapor.
  • the isolation of the gasifying jet it is possible to ensure a large distance between the head delivering the gasifying agent and the combustion front, while avoiding any complementary reaction of complete combustion.
  • the invention also relates to an installation for implementing this method, according to claim 8.
  • a nozzle 1 at the end of a pipe 2 placed in a borehole 3 extending from the surface 4 to a coal seam 5 occurs in an area median of the coal seam 5.
  • This nozzle 1 consists of a preferably supersonic nozzle 10 of diverging convergent shape and of a co-axial pipe 11 which is also connected to the pipe 2 which is in the form a double tube, one central connected to the central nozzle duct 10, the other coaxial connected to the coaxial nozzle ducts 11, the axial nozzle duct 10 is supplied with oxygen under pressure, while the ducts annulars 11 are supplied with pressurized steam.
  • the nozzle 1 operates in the following way: by its calibrated orifice 20, a concentrated and directed oxygen jet 21 of elongated shape and at supersonic speed has a dart 22 whose end enters an impact with the coal, while the steam of water flows around the jet 21 in an annular curtain 30 which extends at least over a large part of the extension of the directive jet 21.
  • the oxygen at the point of impact, causes combustion incomplete coal.
  • An annular stream of combustible gas 23 at high temperature rises according to the arrows FF 'around the oxygen jet-water vapor curtain assembly. During its journey, the gas cools in contact with the layer of coal and water vapor: the resulting chemical reactions greatly increase its calorific value.
  • This combustible gas is taken in at the foot of the borehole by a second annular pipe 6 formed by an envelope 7 surrounding the double tubular pipe 2 at a distance.
  • the water vapor constitutes not only an active element in the incomplete combustion , but also plays a decisive role in avoiding contact between the combustible gas and oxygen sting; without this, water vapor curtain, or other means of separation, the combustible gas would oxidize during this course at the level of oxygen, which, of course, would make impossible the desired partial gasification.
  • the directive jet of oxygen 21 can have a very large extension in the axial direction, since the distance between the dart 22 and the nozzle 1 can be several tens of meters.
  • optical control device 51 makes it possible, by laterally oriented combustion operations, to verify that one is still in a middle position of the coal seam, because this control device 51 makes it possible to detect immediately any drop in temperature when the sting 22 of the directive jet of oxygen 21 meets the rock.
