Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of precise ammonia injection control for fluidized bed boilers, and in particular to a precise ammonia injection control device and method for circulating fluidized bed boilers. Background Art

[0002] As a highly efficient and environmentally friendly coal-fired equipment, circulating fluidized bed boilers have been widely used in the power and industrial fields. In order to effectively control the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during boiler operation, ammonia injection grids are usually used for denitrification. Ammonia injection grids spray ammonia water or ammonia gas into the flue gas to react chemically with NOx in the flue gas to generate harmless nitrogen and water vapor, thereby reducing NOx emissions.

[0003] However, the existing fluidized bed boiler control device has many deficiencies in the operation of the ammonia injection grid. First, most ammonia injection grids rely on manual valves for operation, which results in the inaccurate and inflexible adjustment of the amount of ammonia injection, making it difficult to meet the precise control requirements for NOx emissions during boiler operation. Second, the existing ammonia injection grid lacks an effective bypass mechanism, which makes the distribution of ammonia in the flue gas uneven, and it is easy for the local ammonia concentration to be too high or too low, which not only reduces the denitrification efficiency, but also easily causes corrosion and damage to the boiler equipment. Summary of the invention

This method ensures the precise matching of ammonia and NOx, thereby reducing the excessive use of ammonia and avoiding unnecessary waste and secondary pollution.

[0053] A circulating fluidized bed boiler precise ammonia injection control method comprises the following steps.

[0054] 1. Device connection and preparation:

[0055] 1) Use the flange at one end of the connecting pipe 711 to connect the ammonia spraying mechanism with a feed pipe such as an ammonia water or ammonia gas supply system to ensure a stable supply of ammonia gas.

[0056] 2) Check and confirm that all parts are tightly connected and there is no leakage.

[0057] 3) Start the boiler to allow the flue gas to enter the flue shell 1 through the air inlet.

[0058] 2. Real-time monitoring and data collection

[0059] 1) When the flue gas flows in the flue shell 1, multiple groups of sampling controllers 7 monitor the NOx content in the flue gas in real time.

[0060] 2) The sampling controller transmits the detected NOx concentration data to the control system.

[0061] 3. Calculation and Control:

[0062] 1) The control system calculates the required ammonia injection amount based on the received NOx concentration data.

[0063] 2) By controlling the opening of the electronic valve 911 and the reading of the flow meter, the flow rate of ammonia in the connecting pipe is adjusted to ensure that the amount of ammonia injected into the flue shell matches the concentration of NOx.

[0064] 4. Ammonia injection and mixing:

[0065] 1) After ammonia enters the main pipe 912 through the connecting pipe, it is divided along the main pipe to the multiple groups of guide pipes 913.

[0066] 2) The spray head 914 at the top of the guide pipe 913 sprays the ammonia gas into the flue gas evenly in the form of fine droplets.

[0067] At the same time, the flow bypass mechanism at the top of the main pipe is driven by a motor, which drives the stirring blades to rotate through the shaft, generating airflow to disturb and mix the ammonia and flue gas, thereby improving the mixing efficiency.

[0068] 5. Reaction and Emission

[0069] 1) After precise injection and thorough mixing, ammonia reacts chemically with NOx in the flue gas to generate harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

[0070] 2) The treated flue gas is discharged from the boiler through the outlet.

[0071] 6. Feedback and Adjustment

[0072] 1) During the entire control process, the control system will continuously adjust the opening of the electronic valve and the flow meter reading based on the real-time monitored NOx concentration data and ammonia injection amount feedback.

[0073] 2) Ensure the stability and accuracy of denitrification effect through continuous adjustment and optimization.

[0074] Working principle: First, the ammonia spraying mechanism 6 is connected to the feed pipe (such as ammonia water or ammonia gas supply system) by using the flange at one end of the connecting pipe 711 to ensure a stable supply of ammonia gas.

[0075] During the operation of the boiler, the flue gas enters the flue shell 1 through the air inlet 2 and flows along the inner wall of the flue shell 1. In order to monitor the NOx content in the flue gas in real time, multiple sets of sampling controllers 7 are arranged on the inner wall of the flue shell 1, which can accurately detect the concentration of NOx in the flue gas and transmit the detection data to the control system.

[0076] The control system calculates the required ammonia injection amount according to the NOx concentration data provided by the sampling controller 7, and adjusts the flow rate of ammonia in the connecting pipe 5 by controlling the opening of the electronic valve 911 and the reading of the flow meter 9. In this way, it can ensure that the amount of ammonia injected into the flue shell 1 matches the NOx concentration, and achieve accurate denitration.

[0077] When ammonia enters the main pipe 912 through the connecting pipe 5, it will be diverted along the main pipe 912 to multiple groups of guide pipes 913. In order to enhance the mixing effect of ammonia in the flue gas, a spray head 914 is installed at the top of each group of guide pipes 913, and these spray heads 914 can evenly spray ammonia into the flue gas in the form of fine droplets.

[0078] In addition, in order to improve the mixing efficiency of ammonia and flue gas, multiple groups of flow-around mechanisms are provided on the outer surface of the top of the main pipe 912. These flow-around mechanisms are driven by the motor 816, and the stirring blades 818 are driven to rotate through the shaft 817. The rotation of the stirring blades 818 generates airflow, disturbs and mixes the ammonia and flue gas, thereby achieving a more uniform flow-around effect.

[0079] After precise injection and full mixing, ammonia reacts chemically with NOx in the flue gas to generate harmless nitrogen and water vapor. Finally, the treated flue gas is discharged from the boiler through the outlet 3.

[0080] During the entire control process, the control system will continuously adjust the opening of the electronic valve 911 and the reading of the flow meter 9 according to the real-time monitored NOx concentration data and the ammonia injection amount feedback to ensure the stability and accuracy of the denitrification effect.

[0081] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
