Abstract

Monitoring the temperature inside the gasifier of a Shell coal gasification process (SCGP) is veryimportant for safe process operation. However, this temperature cannot be measured online due tothe harsh operating condition. Estimating this temperature using the extended Kalman filter (EKF)based on a simplified mechanistic model is proposed in this paper. The gasifier is partitioned intothree zones. The quench pipe and the transfer duct are seen as two additional zones. A simplifiedmechanistic model is developed in each zone and formulated as a state-space representation. Thetemperature in each zone is estimated by the EKF in real-time. The proposed method is applied toan industrial SCGP and the accuracy of the estimated temperatures is verified by a process variableboth qualitatively and quantitatively. The prediction capability of the simplified mechanistic model isvalidated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is further verified by comparing it to a Kalmanfilter-based single-zone temperature estimation method.
