The present invention provides a fuel gasification furnace including a
gasification chamber (1) for fluidizing a high-temperature fluidizing
medium therein to form a gasification chamber fluidized bed having an
interface, and for gasifying a fuel in the gasification chamber fluidized
bed, a char combustion chamber (2) for fluidizing a high-temperature
fluidizing medium therein to form a char combustion chamber fluidized bed
having an interface, and for combusting char generated by gasification in
the gasification chamber (1) in the char combustion chamber fluidized bed
to heat the fluidizing medium, and a first energy recovery device (109)
for using gases generated by the gasification chamber (1) as a fuel. The
gasification chamber (1) and the char combustion chamber (2) are
integrated with each other. The gasification chamber (1) and the char
combustion chamber (2) are divided from each other by a first partition
wall (15) for preventing gases from flowing therebetween, and which
extends vertically upward from the interfaces of the respective fluidized
beds. The first partition wall (15) has a first opening (25) provided in
a lower portion thereof, and the first opening (25) serves as a
communication between the gasification chamber (1) and the char
combustion chamber (2), for allowing the fluidizing medium heated in the
char combustion chamber (2) to move from the char combustion chamber (2)
via the first opening (25) into the gasification chamber (1).
