Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sludge drying treatment, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency sludge drying system with cascaded energy utilization. Background Art

[0002] Sludge thermal drying technology is a treatment process that uses heat energy to quickly remove moisture from sludge. The removal of moisture mainly goes through two processes: evaporation and diffusion. The evaporation process refers to the vaporization of moisture on the surface of the material, and the diffusion process refers to the mass transfer process closely related to vaporization.

[0003] Thermal drying is accomplished by two complementary processes: surface water vaporization and internal water diffusion. Under standard atmospheric pressure, it takes about 2600 kJ of heat energy to heat each liter of water from room temperature (20°C) to the gas phase, which is called the "basic heat energy" of the drying system.

[0004] Sludge thermal drying can be divided into two categories according to the contact mode between the heat medium and the sludge. One is direct thermal drying, that is, the application of thermal convection technology. The belt dryer and fluidized bed type are widely used in domestic projects. The other is indirect thermal drying, that is, the application of heat conduction technology. The more widely used and mature ones include disc type, thin layer type, paddle type, etc. At the same time, the two-stage type of thin layer + belt dryer also has corresponding applications.

[0005] In sludge thermal drying, heat source consumption is the largest operating cost; currently, 85% of the exhaust gas from indirect drying is water vapor, which is the main energy transfer carrier for sludge drying energy consumption. However, this part of heat is currently basically taken away by cooling water and is not well utilized, resulting in energy waste.

[0006] In sludge treatment, energy consumption accounts for the main part of the treatment cost. If we can consider using low-quality heat such as waste heat from drying tail gas to do relatively easy high-water content sludge dewatering, and high-quality steam to do difficult low-water content sludge treatment, we can achieve the cascade utilization of energy. Although there will be some sacrifices in time efficiency, space, and construction investment. However, the proportion of the drying section in the entire plant area is not large, especially for projects in sewage treatment plants, the proportion is even lower, and it will not bring much impact; in terms of investment, the traditional belt drying air volume compression condensation and other circulation links can be omitted, and the impact is not too great; but the treatment cost, which is currently more critical and everyone is more concerned about, will be greatly reduced.

[0007] In the Suez two-stage drying process, the sludge first passes through a thin layer dryer, and is dried to a moisture content of 55%-65%. It is then cut into strips by a forming machine and then enters a belt dryer for drying. The belt dryer uses circulating air for drying, and the mixed gas is condensed (water vapor condenses) and reheated (using a stage of tail gas and boiler steam) for recycling. Compared with a single-stage dryer, the energy utilization efficiency is greatly improved, but its circulating fan power consumption is higher; when the second stage sludge dryness is high, the dust content in the circulating gas is high; this process is mainly used in sludge coordinated disposal projects such as thermal power plants and cement plants, and granular sludge has a certain impact on the feed of separate incineration / pyrolysis furnaces.

[0008] At the same time, with the continuous improvement of production environment requirements, odor collection and treatment has become an indispensable key link in sludge (drying) treatment projects. Due to the large space of the room, it is difficult to completely seal it. If this part of the collected odor can be used in a coordinated manner, production efficiency will be improved.

[0009] The inventors are committed to studying how to make full use of low-grade thermal energy in the sludge drying process, realize cascade utilization of energy, save energy, reduce operating costs, promote the development of the sludge treatment industry, and provide a high-efficiency sludge drying system with cascade utilization of energy. Summary of the invention

The present invention will greatly reduce the drying energy consumption, thereby reducing or eliminating the amount of auxiliary fuel required by various current sludge thermal treatment methods, saving cooling water and electricity;

[0011] The present invention divides sludge dehydration into two stages, and uses the low-grade energy tail gas carried away by the exhaust gas of the second high-temperature dryer (heat conduction type) to dry the wet sludge in the first low-temperature dryer; the first low-temperature dryer is a sludge drying device that uses low-temperature waste heat, and is a belt-type or drum-type direct contact low-temperature dryer, which solves the existing low-temperature drying technology. The air is in contact with the sludge in the dryer, and the specific heat capacity of air is very small, and the heat it carries is very limited, resulting in a relatively large circulating air volume in the conventional low-temperature drying system, which leads to a large power consumption of the circulating fan, etc., and increases the energy consumption of the system. In the first dryer, low-quality heat is used to dehydrate and dry the wet sludge, and the water vapor in the exhaust gas is condensed at the same time, which improves the drying efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

[0056] In the low-temperature section dryer, a condensate collection guide port 1036 is provided on the cavity structure of the exhaust gas / smoke flow channel to connect the condensate guide pipe outside the box to the waste water tank.

[0057] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the main equipment of the system of the present invention includes: a convection type low-temperature section dryer, a buffer crushing bin, a heat conduction type high-temperature section dryer, an air heat exchanger, a condenser, an induced draft fan of the low-temperature section dryer and a deodorization system, etc.

[0058] The wet sludge first enters the low-temperature section dryer, which is a convection belt dryer. The hot gas coming out after heat exchange in the air heat exchanger, that is, the odor extracted from the room, carries away part of the moisture in the sludge. At the same time, the low-temperature section dryer is equipped with air reheating measures, and the heat source is the tail gas of the high-temperature section dryer, thereby increasing the moisture carrying capacity of the wet air. An induced draft fan is installed on the roof of the drying room at the top of the dryer to lead the hot and humid air of the low-temperature section dryer to the deodorization facility for treatment. After the sludge leaves the low-temperature section dryer, it enters the secondary heat conduction high-temperature section dryer through the buffer crushing bin;

[0059] The secondary high-temperature dryer uses steam as a heat source. After the sludge is dried to the required dryness inside, it is transported to the dry mud storage bin for subsequent treatment. The exhaust gas temperature of the dryer is about 100°C, which contains a large amount of water vapor. After passing through the dust collector, it enters the aforementioned low-temperature dryer: on the one hand, it heats the wet air in the low-temperature dryer, and on the other hand, most of the steam in the exhaust gas is condensed, collected, and guided to the wastewater tank; after leaving the dryer, the exhaust gas enters the air heat exchanger and condenser water cooling in turn to be fully cooled before entering the furnace or other odor treatment systems.

[0060] The deodorized exhaust air from the drying room enters the aforementioned low-temperature section dryer after passing through the air heat exchanger. After coming into contact with the wet sludge and absorbing moisture, it is led to the deodorization system at the top for treatment.

[0061] See also Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the wet sludge enters the beginning of the conveyor belt of the upper transmission mechanism through the top forming machine, and falls from the end of the conveyor belt through the guide inclined plate to the beginning of the conveyor belt of the lower transmission mechanism, and then is transported to the end and unloaded to the wet material or sludge discharge port at the bottom of the box. The wet sludge is transported through the upper and lower layers to extend the drying time and improve the drying efficiency.

[0062] The low-temperature section dryer described above has a closed cavity structure for the flow channel of exhaust gas / smoke under each layer of the conveyor belt, and a heat transfer heat pipe is provided in the cavity structure. The heat transfer heat pipe increases the heat transfer area, and the exhaust gas / smoke gas inlet is provided on the side of the lower flow channel. After the exhaust gas enters from the inlet, it enters the upper exhaust gas / smoke flow channel through the connecting pipes on the two sides of the other end, and is led out from the exhaust gas / smoke gas outlet at the other end. At the same time, the condensed liquid in the exhaust gas is discharged to the waste water tank through the collection and diversion port of each cavity for purification and standby use; the exhaust gas (smoke) is cooled by heat exchange with the air to realize the utilization of waste heat. Since the exhaust gas / smoke flow channel is arranged below the conveyor belt in a U-shaped upper and lower structure, the flow stroke of the exhaust gas is extended, the waste heat of the exhaust gas is fully utilized, and the steam in the exhaust gas is fully condensed, the waste heat of the exhaust gas is utilized to the maximum extent, and the drying efficiency is improved. The exhaust gas has a high moisture content and carries a large amount of heat. After condensation, the heat released is large, which continuously heats the air medium and improves the drying efficiency.

[0063] In the low-temperature section dryer, a condensate collection guide port 1036 is provided on the cavity structure of the exhaust gas / smoke flow channel to connect the condensate guide pipe outside the box body to lead the condensate into the waste water tank 7 for purification and reuse.

[0064] The low-temperature section dryer described above has a channel for hot air of the drying medium above the two exhaust gas / smoke circulation channels, the hot air inlet is arranged at the bottom wet material or sludge discharge port, and the hot air outlet is arranged at the top wet material or sludge feed port. The hot air can pass through the conveyor belt in the channel to contact the sludge and take away the moisture in the sludge. The sludge is dried by the hot air carrying away the moisture. The hot air is continuously heated by the heat transfer heat pipe on the lower side of the channel to improve the moisture absorption capacity, while improving the air's moisture carrying capacity and drying efficiency, reducing energy consumption. Finally, it is discharged from the hot air outlet of the upper channel. The top cover is provided with a steam chamber to prevent the air carrying water vapor from condensing back into the sludge after being cooled at the top. The box is filled with hot air, which is divided into upper and lower U-shaped hot air medium channels by the upper exhaust gas / smoke circulation channel. The hot air circulates from the lower layer of the hot air medium channel to the upper outlet for discharge, which prolongs the residence time of the hot air in the box, and is continuously heated by the exhaust gas / smoke circulation channel and heat transfer heat pipe, thereby improving the moisture carrying capacity and the drying efficiency.

[0065] Example

[0066] The system of the present invention is as follows Figure 1-4 As shown, the workflow is as follows:

[0067] (1) The system of the present invention adopts a high-temperature two-stage dryer, in which the heat source of the low-temperature dryer adopts the waste heat of the high-temperature dryer. The wet sludge first enters the low-temperature dryer. The low-temperature section adopts a low-energy consumption dryer that can utilize low-temperature waste heat and uses hot air (odor) for direct drying. After the sludge is dried in the low-temperature section, it is conveyed to the high-temperature dryer on the first floor via a spiral. After reaching the predetermined dryness (generally 65-90%), it is conveyed to the dry mud storage bin for standby use.

[0068] (2) The exhaust gas generated by the high-temperature section dryer contains a large amount of steam and non-condensable gases. After being dedusted by the cyclone dust collector, it enters the aforementioned low-temperature section dryer. Most of the steam is condensed in the low-temperature section dryer, and then further cooled by the air heat exchanger and condenser before being sent to the furnace and other odor treatment facilities.

[0069] (3) After being heated in the air exchanger, the deodorized exhaust air in the drying room absorbs heat and moisture in the low-temperature section dryer, taking away part of the moisture in the sludge, thereby achieving the effect of dehydrating and drying the sludge; the hot and humid air carrying water vapor is led to the rooftop deodorization system (washing + biological deodorization) for treatment and then discharged after meeting the standards.

[0071] (1) The two-stage dryers are arranged on the first and second floors of the drying room of the factory building, of which the high-temperature stage dryer is arranged on the first floor, the low-temperature stage dryer is arranged on the second floor, and the high-temperature stage drying waste gas condensation facilities are evenly arranged on the first floor. The biological deodorization system facilities are arranged on the roof of the floor. Figure 4 , 5 As shown:

[0072] (2) In order to prevent the leakage of slightly negative pressure gas in the drying room, a collection pipe is set up inside the room. After the gas is collected, it first passes through the air heat exchanger on the first floor and is heated to 60-80°C. It then enters the low-temperature dryer on the second floor and absorbs heat and moisture before being led to the rooftop deodorization system for treatment.
