Is it necessary to warm up and clean slag before the Texaco gasifier is put into service? Is this step necessary? Is the effect that good?
It should be to stop the gasifier, is my understanding correct? If so, I think it is absolutely necessary, especially for those furnaces with poor coal quality. The lower part of the gasifier itself has a small opening and there is slag. After the stop, the slag is not easy to handle and sometimes damages the furnace bricks.
It should be necessary to raise the temperature by 50-150 degrees and melt off the wall hangings. This operation is done in the industry. This is reflected in the public technical documents, and Texaco technology also has this step.
