Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of boiler tail flue supplementary combustion, and in particular to a pyrolysis supplementary combustion system and method for waste fan blades based on a coal-fired power plant. Background Art

[0002] Wind energy is currently recognized as one of the clean energy sources in the world, but the treatment of wind energy equipment after scrapping is not always clean. Although most parts are recyclable, wind turbine blades are difficult to recycle effectively due to their composition. It is estimated that 10 kilograms of blade material is required for every 1kW of new installed capacity. Therefore, a 7.5MW wind turbine requires about 75 tons of blade material, which is a huge amount. Therefore, the recycling of retired blades will become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0003] At present, most of the domestic coal-fired units are involved in peak load regulation, which makes the units often operate under low load conditions. When the boiler load decreases, the flue gas temperature at the inlet of the SCR reactor decreases accordingly. When the flue gas temperature is lower than the catalyst active reaction temperature (320-400°C), it is easy to cause the catalyst channel to be blocked, affecting the normal operation of the SCR. Coupled with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, it has become an inevitable requirement to operate the SCR normally under low load. In order to solve this problem, a boiler tail flue supplementary combustion solution is needed. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a waste fan blade pyrolysis and supplementary combustion system and method based on a coal-fired power plant, which pyrolyzes the waste fan blades and supplements them in the boiler tail flue to achieve the waste fan blade recycling and energy-saving effects.

[0014] The initial feed amount of the feeder is controlled to be less than 20% of the designed feed amount, and when the temperature of the pyrolysis reactor is not stable at the set temperature, the material level in the pyrolysis reactor is controlled not to exceed half of the designed material level. If the material level in the pyrolysis reactor reaches half of the designed material level, the feeder is immediately turned off to stop feeding;
