Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal-fired boiler safety control, and particularly relates to a high-temperature corrosion risk grading control method and system based on flue gas CO distribution characteristics. BACKGROUND

[0002] The phenomenon of high-temperature corrosion of the boiler causes the water-cooled wall tube to be continuously corroded and thinned, and the average value of the thinning speed reaches 1.8-2.6 mm per year. When the water-cooled wall tube is thinned to a certain extent, a serious power plant accident of high-temperature tube burst of the water-cooled wall will eventually occur, which endangers the safe operation of the boiler. The high-temperature corrosion not only consumes materials, but also prolongs the maintenance time of the unit and increases the workload, resulting in economic losses. The high-temperature corrosion of the boiler water-cooled wall is mainly related to the sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace, the atmosphere at the wall of the water-cooled wall, the high-temperature flue gas, and the erosion of the coal powder flow, etc. At present, the measures to prevent and control the high-temperature corrosion of the water-cooled wall mainly include the following aspects: reasonable air distribution, strengthening of turbulent mixing in the furnace; control of reasonable coal powder fineness to prevent large particles of unburned coal powder from directly eroding the water-cooled wall; adoption of wall-attached air technology to form an air protection film in the high-temperature corrosion area; adoption of anti-corrosion spraying and pipe material optimization technology, etc.

[0003] Although the wall-attached air technology can alleviate the corrosion, according to statistics, the coverage rate of the wall-attached air for the 330MW / 660MW unit is insufficient, and only the 1000NW unit has a high popularization rate, and there is a lack of differentiated control strategies for different capacity units. At the same time, most units cannot realize online detection of the CO concentration and H2S concentration in the wall-attached atmosphere, and cannot observe and monitor the high-temperature corrosion condition of the water-cooled wall.

[0004] There is a feature of "high on both sides and low in the middle" for the CO distribution at the outlet of the opposed-wall boiler furnace, and the average value of the traditional detection point cannot truly reflect the CO concentration at the outlet of the furnace. Therefore, the evaluation of the high-temperature corrosion of the furnace based on the average value of the traditional CO detection point is misleading and needs to be corrected.

[0005] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to propose a high-temperature corrosion grading control system that fuses the correction of CO distribution. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims at the deficiencies of the prior art, and proposes a high-temperature corrosion risk assessment method and grading control system based on the correction of flue gas CO distribution characteristics. The auxiliary monitoring of the wall-attached atmosphere is realized by correcting the CO concentration at the outlet of the furnace, the high-temperature corrosion grade of different units is evaluated, and a grading control system is established.

[0007] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical scheme: a high-temperature corrosion risk grading control system based on flue gas CO distribution characteristics, which comprises: a distributed CO detection array, which is used to collect the CO concentration at the outlet of the opposed-wall boiler furnace in real time; embedded processor, for correcting the CO concentration collected by the distributed CO detection array based on the flue width and the unit characteristic coefficient; an execution module, for determining the high-temperature corrosion level of the boiler according to the corrected CO concentration, and adjusting the oxygen content, the wall-attached air or the secondary air door opening degree according to the risk level for different alarm units.

[0008] Further, the formula for correcting the CO concentration is: ; wherein CO is the basic CO concentration, L is the flue width, k and a are the unit characteristic coefficients, and the unit characteristic coefficients are obtained by fitting the CO concentration correction formula with the historical data of the measured CO concentration distribution at the furnace outlet of the unit.

[0009] Further, the distributed CO detection array identifies the distribution feature of the CO concentration at the furnace outlet of the opposed-wall boiler, i.e., high on both sides and low in the middle, and establishes the spatial distribution function of the CO at the furnace inlet of the opposed-wall boiler through multi-point sampling.

[0010] Further, the measured CO concentration distribution data at the furnace outlet are obtained through multi-point sampling, and then the unit characteristic coefficients k and a are fitted by substituting the data into the CO concentration correction formula, so as to correct the single-point detection average to the effective CO concentration at the furnace outlet in the representative wall-attached area.

[0011] Further, the high-temperature corrosion level includes yellow warning and red alarm; the yellow warning is 1000 ppm≤corrected CO concentration≤2000 ppm or there is a local high fluctuation area, and the red alarm is corrected CO concentration>2000 ppm.

[0012] Further, the specific control strategies for different units are as follows: For a 330MW supercritical unit, the furnace oxygen content is preferentially controlled, and the oxygen content at full load is ≥3.4%; For a 660MW ultra-supercritical unit, the furnace oxygen content is preferentially controlled and the wall-attached air is adjusted, and the oxygen content at full load is ≥3.0%; For a 1000MW ultra-supercritical unit, the wall-attached air is preferentially controlled and the secondary air door is adjusted, so as to realize the fine control of the wall-attached air branch pipe and the secondary air door opening degree.

[0013] The application provides a high-temperature corrosion risk grading control method based on the CO distribution feature of flue gas, which comprises the following steps: (1) measuring the CO concentration of the boiler flue gas based on the distributed CO detection array; (2) correcting the CO concentration based on the flue width and the unit characteristic coefficient; (3) According to the revised CO concentration, it is determined that the high temperature corrosion level of the boiler exists; (4) Based on the red alarm in the high temperature corrosion level, the oxygen content, the wall-attached air or the secondary air door opening degree are adjusted for different units.

[0014] Design concept of the present application: A distributed CO detection array, an embedded processor and an execution module are arranged; the CO concentration at the furnace outlet is collected in real time through the distributed CO detection array; the embedded processor runs the distribution function correction algorithm; and the execution module adjusts the oxygen content or the wall-attached air and the secondary air door opening degree according to the risk level. The present application solves the problem that most units cannot realize online detection of the CO concentration in the wall-attached atmosphere, monitors the high temperature corrosion risk level of the water wall through the CO concentration at the furnace outlet, and proposes a differentiated control strategy, which effectively alleviates the problem of high temperature corrosion of the boiler water wall, reduces the risk of pipe explosion of the boiler water wall, improves the operation safety, and improves the efficiency of the boiler.

[0015] The present application has the following beneficial effects: the present application monitors the high temperature corrosion risk level of the water wall through the CO concentration at the furnace outlet, proposes a differentiated control strategy, effectively alleviates the problem of high temperature corrosion of the boiler water wall, reduces the risk of pipe explosion of the boiler water wall, improves the operation safety, and improves the efficiency of the boiler.
