Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of industrial furnace safety control, and in particular, to a method for controlling safe combustion of an industrial furnace. Background Art
[0002] Industrial furnaces are key equipment for providing heat energy in the refining process. In recent years, as the country has placed increasingly higher requirements on safety, efficiency, environmental protection and many other aspects of refining and chemical enterprises, comprehensively improving the level of industrial furnace combustion monitoring and control, ensuring the safe production of refining and chemical enterprises, and achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction have become the development goals of the petrochemical industry.
[0003] Once unburned materials within the explosion limit come into contact with open flames, combustion and explosion will occur. As open flame equipment in the petrochemical industry, industrial furnaces often have a large heat load, and the potential explosion hazards cannot be ignored. During the ignition, operation, and re-ignition of industrial furnaces, improper operation often causes residual combustible gas in the furnace. Once the residual gas mixes with air and reaches the explosion limit, the industrial furnace will explode the moment it is ignited.

[0014] Optionally, the pressure charging and pressure releasing method is: charging the pressure in the fuel line from atmospheric pressure to operating pressure, providing a pressure stabilization time after the pressure charging, and releasing the pressure in the fuel line to atmospheric pressure after the pressure stabilization time ends;

[0041] The method disclosed in the present invention is to carry out the operation of the next link on the premise of ensuring the safety of the previous link during the ignition and operation of the industrial furnace, and to minimize the safety risks of the ignition and operation of the industrial furnace through real-time monitoring and adjustment of each link in the process, thereby avoiding the occurrence of explosions and other safety accidents caused by operating errors or equipment failures, and keeping the industrial furnace in a safe, efficient and stable operating state.
[0042] In one embodiment, the industrial furnace of the present disclosure has Figure 1 The structure shown includes an industrial furnace body 1, a fuel pipeline, a combustion air duct 8, a pilot lamp 6 and a main burner 5.
[0043] In order to ensure the safety of the fuel gas pipeline during the ignition, operation and flameout of the industrial furnace, and to prevent explosion accidents caused by gas leakage in the fuel gas pipeline, step S1 can be used to pressurize and depressurize the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the ever-burning lamp fuel pipeline 24 in sequence, and the leakage risk value of the fuel pipeline is determined by monitoring the pressure value in the fuel pipeline. In one embodiment, the method for pressurizing and depressurizing the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the ever-burning lamp fuel pipeline 24 can be: pressurizing the pressure in the fuel pipeline from atmospheric pressure to operating pressure, stopping the pressurization and maintaining the pressure in the pipeline stable for a period of time, recorded as the pressure stabilization time; then, after the pressure stabilization time ends, the pressure in the fuel pipeline is depressurized to atmospheric pressure, that is, a pressurization and depressurization process is completed. In one embodiment, in order to complete the monitoring of the pressure value in the fuel pipeline, it is necessary to repeat the above-mentioned pressurization and depressurization process at least once. The present disclosure has no limitation on the duration of the stabilization time, which can be a conventional choice in the art, for example, 10 to 20 minutes. In a further embodiment, the main burner fuel gas regulating valve 14, the main burner fuel gas vent valve 15, the main burner fuel gas cut-off valve 16, the ever-burning lamp fuel gas regulating valve 17, the ever-burning lamp fuel gas vent valve 18 and the ever-burning lamp fuel gas cut-off valve 19 can be opened and closed during the charging and depressurization process. By comparing the pressure difference between the main fuel gas pressure measuring instrument 20 and the ever-burning lamp fuel gas pressure measuring instrument 21 before and after the corresponding valve is switched, it is determined whether there is a leakage problem in the valve, and the completion signal of step S1 will eventually be transmitted to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0044] According to the present disclosure, the leakage risk value of the fuel pipeline may include the leakage risk value of the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the leakage risk value of the ever-burning lamp fuel pipeline 24. The leakage risk value less than the leakage safety threshold in step S2 means that the leakage risk value of the main burner fuel pipeline 22 is less than the safety threshold of the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the leakage risk value of the ever-burning lamp pipeline 24 is less than the safety threshold of the ever-burning lamp fuel pipeline 24. In a specific implementation, the difference between the starting pressure value and the ending pressure value of the stabilization time can be recorded as the theoretical pressure change value, and the starting pressure value and the ending pressure value of the stabilization time are monitored by a pressure gauge on the fuel pipeline to obtain the actual pressure change value before and after pressurization; the absolute value of the difference between the theoretical pressure change value and the actual pressure change value is recorded as the pressure fluctuation value, then, the leakage risk value can be expressed as the ratio of the pressure fluctuation value to the operating pressure. Among them, the above theoretical pressure change value is 0 when there is no leakage in the fuel pipeline, but in actual operation, it is usually difficult to get a value of 0 due to the fluctuation of the measured value of the instrument itself. In actual engineering, the theoretical pressure change value is usually taken as 2% of the starting pressure value, or an appropriate range of variation is selected according to the actual application scenario, which will not be repeated here; the leakage safety threshold is the maximum value that the leakage risk value may take. When the leakage risk value exceeds the leakage safety threshold, it means that the leakage of the fuel pipeline is more serious and will cause an explosion accident. In one embodiment, the leakage safety threshold in step S2 can be any value in the range of 0-3%, preferably any value in the range of 0-2%.
[0045] In order to prevent the residual fuel gas in the furnace from causing explosion or fire at the initial stage of ignition, according to the present disclosure, when the leakage risk value is less than the leakage safety threshold, the furnace of the industrial furnace body 1 can be purged through the combustion air duct 8, and the total ventilation volume of the purge can be monitored to remove the residual fuel gas in the furnace; wherein the total ventilation volume can be determined by the ventilation flow rate and / or ventilation time of the purge. In one embodiment, after receiving the completion signal of step S1, the combustion monitoring and control system 7 allows the cold air to enter the blower 10 through the cold air intake port 11, and then enter the industrial furnace body 1 through the combustion air duct 8. During the purging process, the air flow rate measuring instrument 28 is used to monitor the air flow into the furnace. When the total ventilation volume is greater than the purging safety threshold, the purging process is completed, and the completion signal of step S2 is transmitted to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0046] The ever-burning lamp plays an important role in the ignition, operation and flameout of the industrial furnace. It can prevent the burner flame from being extinguished, quickly re-ignite the burner when it is extinguished, and burn out uncontrollable combustible gas to prevent the combustible gas in the furnace due to special reasons and explosion during ignition. According to the present disclosure, the ever-burning lamp 6 can be ignited within a specified time when the total ventilation volume is greater than the purge safety threshold, and the number of ever-burning lamps 6 that are successfully ignited is determined; wherein the purge safety threshold refers to the minimum value that the actual total ventilation volume may reach, preferably, the value can be any value within the range of 1.0-1.2 times the furnace volume, preferably, it can be any value within the range of 1.1-1.2 times the furnace volume; the specified time can be 5-8 minutes, preferably, it can be 6-8 minutes. In one embodiment, after receiving the completion signal of step S2, the combustion monitoring and control system 7 adjusts the opening of the ever-burning lamp fuel gas regulating valve 17 and the ever-burning lamp fuel gas shut-off valve 19, closes the ever-burning lamp fuel gas vent valve 18, and the on-site operator ignites the ever-burning lamp 6 through the on-site ignition disk 2. The ever-burning lamp flame detection equipment 3 monitors the ignition status of the ever-burning lamp 6 in real time, and transmits the number of ever-burning lamps 6 ignited to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0047] According to the present disclosure, after completing the pre-ignition preparation work of steps S1-S3 and confirming that the number of successfully ignited ever-burning lamps 6 is greater than the ignition safety threshold, the main burner 5 can be ignited and the number of successfully ignited main burners 5 can be determined; wherein the ignition safety threshold refers to the minimum value that the actual number of ever-burning lamps 6 that are ignited may reach, and the value can be any value within the range of 40-60% of the total number of ever-burning lamps, preferably any value within the range of 45-55% of the total number of ever-burning lamps. In one embodiment, the combustion monitoring and control system 7 adjusts the opening of the main flame fuel gas regulating valve 14 and the ever-burning lamp fuel gas shut-off valve 16, closes the main flame fuel gas vent valve 15, and the on-site operator ignites the main flame through the on-site ignition disk 2, and the main burner flame detection device 4 monitors the main flame ignition situation in real time, and transmits the number of main flame ignitions to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0048] In order to monitor the combustion process of the main burner 5 in real time, ensure the stable flame combustion during the ignition and operation of the industrial furnace, and keep the industrial furnace in a safe, efficient and stable operation state, according to the present disclosure, when the number of successfully ignited main burners 5 is greater than the combustion safety threshold, the furnace oxygen content is monitored, and the gas flow of the fuel pipeline and / or the combustion air duct 8 is adjusted according to the furnace oxygen content, so that the furnace oxygen content can be 1-5% by volume, preferably the furnace oxygen content can be 2-3% by volume; wherein the combustion safety threshold refers to the minimum value that the actual ignition number of the main burners 5 may reach, and the value can be any value in the range of 10-100% of the total number of burners, preferably, it can be any value in the range of 30-90% of the total number of burners. In one embodiment, when the combustion monitoring and control system 7 receives a signal that the number of successfully ignited main burners 5 is greater than the combustion safety threshold, the operator starts to feed fuel into the furnace and completes the setting of the furnace oxygen content. The combustion monitoring and control system 7 will automatically monitor the measurement data of the furnace air flow measurement instrument 28, the furnace oxygen content monitoring instrument 29 and the main flame fuel gas pressure measurement instrument 20, and automatically adjust the opening of the main air duct regulating baffle 30 and / or the chimney regulating baffle 26 in the combustion air duct 8, as well as the gas flow of the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the ever-burning lamp fuel pipeline 24 according to the measured data and the given combustion equation, so as to meet the furnace flame combustion needs.
[0049] The present disclosure is further illustrated below by way of examples, but the present disclosure is not limited thereby.
[0050] Example
[0051] Figure 1 The industrial furnace shown includes an industrial furnace body 1, a main burner fuel pipeline 22, a pilot light fuel pipeline 24, a combustion air duct 8, a pilot light 6 and a main burner 5; the furnace volume is 2050m 3 , the following steps are used to safely ignite and control the operation of the industrial furnace:
[0052] S1: Leak detection of fuel lines
[0053] By sequentially pressurizing and depressurizing the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the pilot lamp fuel pipeline 24, and coordinating the opening and closing of the main flame fuel gas regulating valve 14, the main flame fuel gas venting valve 15, the main flame fuel gas shut-off valve 16, the pilot lamp fuel gas regulating valve 17, the pilot lamp fuel gas venting valve 18, and the pilot lamp fuel gas shut-off valve 19. By comparing the pressure difference of the main flame fuel gas pressure measuring instrument 20 and the pilot lamp fuel gas pressure measuring instrument 21 before and after the corresponding valves are opened and closed, and monitoring the actual pressure value in the fuel pipeline during the pressurization and depressurization process, the leakage risk value of the fuel pipeline is determined, and the various valves on the fuel pipeline are corrected according to the size relationship between the leakage risk value and the leakage safety threshold until the leakage risk value is less than the leakage safety threshold, and the completion signal of the leakage detection is transmitted to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0054] The pressure charging method is as follows: the pressure in the main burner fuel pipeline 22 and the pilot light fuel pipeline 24 is respectively charged from atmospheric pressure to the operating pressure, and the pressure is stabilized for 15 minutes after the pressure charging. After the pressure stabilization time is over, the pressure in the main fuel pipeline 22 and the pilot light fuel pipeline 24 is respectively released to atmospheric pressure; the above-mentioned charging and pressure release process is repeated once to complete the monitoring of the pressure value in the fuel pipeline;
[0055] The leakage risk value of the main burner fuel pipeline 22 is 0.1%, and the leakage safety threshold is 2%; the leakage risk value of the pilot lamp fuel pipeline 24 is 0.15%, and the leakage safety threshold is 2%.
[0056] S2: Furnace purge before ignition
[0057] The combustion monitoring and control system 7 can only perform this step after receiving the confirmation instruction that there is no leakage in the fuel pipeline. Start the blower 10, and adjust the opening of the blower inlet damper 27 and the main air duct adjustment damper 30 at the same time to control the amount of air entering the industrial furnace body 1. The flow direction of cold air is: cold air enters the blower 10 from the cold air intake port 11, and then enters the industrial furnace body 1 through the combustion air duct 8. The total ventilation volume entering the furnace is monitored by the furnace air flow measurement instrument 28. When the total ventilation volume entering the furnace is greater than the purge safety threshold, the purge step is completed, and the completion signal of the furnace purge is transmitted to the combustion monitoring and control system 7.
[0058] Among them, the total ventilation volume into the furnace is 4000m 3 , the purge safety threshold is 2400m 3 .
[0059] S3: Ignition of the eternal lamp
[0060] The combustion monitoring and control system 7 can only perform this step after receiving the instruction that the furnace purge is completed. Adjust the opening of the pilot lamp fuel gas regulating valve 17 and the pilot lamp fuel gas cut-off valve 19, and close the pilot lamp fuel gas vent valve 18. The on-site operator ignites the pilot lamp 6 through the on-site ignition panel 2, and the pilot lamp flame detection equipment 3 monitors the ignition status of the pilot lamp 6 in real time, and feeds back the number of ignitions to the combustion monitoring and control system 7. When the number of ignitions of the pilot lamp 6 within the specified time is greater than the ignition safety threshold, the ignition of the pilot lamp 6 is completed, and the furnace is ready to ignite the main flame.
[0061] Among them, the total number of ever-burning lamps of the industrial furnace is 24, the number of ever-burning lamps that are lit is 21, the ignition safety threshold is 12, and the specified time is 6 minutes.
[0062] S4: Main flame ignition
[0063] The combustion monitoring and control system 7 can only perform this step after receiving the instruction that the pilot lamp 6 has been ignited. Adjust the opening of the main flame fuel gas regulating valve 14 and the pilot lamp fuel gas cut-off valve 16, and close the main flame fuel gas vent valve 15. The on-site operator ignites the main flame through the on-site ignition panel 2, and the main burner flame detection device 4 monitors the main flame ignition situation in real time, and at the same time feeds back the ignition number to the combustion monitoring and control system 7. When the number of successfully ignited main burners 5 is greater than the combustion safety threshold, the main flame ignition is completed.
[0064] Among them, the total number of main burners of the industrial furnace is 24, the number of ignition of the main burners is 24, and the combustion safety threshold is 4.
[0065] S5: Furnace oxygen content control
[0066] When the combustion monitoring and control system 7 receives the completion of the main flame ignition, the operator starts to use the fuel and completes the setting of the furnace oxygen content. The combustion monitoring and control system 7 will automatically monitor the measurement data of the furnace air flow measurement instrument 28, the furnace oxygen content monitoring instrument 29 and the main flame fuel gas pressure measurement instrument 20, and automatically adjust the opening of the main air duct adjustment damper 30 and / or the chimney adjustment damper 26 according to the relevant measurement data and the given combustion equation to meet the furnace flame combustion needs.
[0067] The range of oxygen content in the furnace is 1-5% by volume.
[0068] The safety test method of the method of this embodiment is: whether the industrial furnace completes the process of steps S1-S4 within the specified time (40 minutes), and whether the industrial furnace runs smoothly during this process, and whether there is abnormal flame extinguishing or furnace flash explosion phenomenon. The result is: the process of steps S1-S4 is completed within the specified time, and the industrial furnace runs smoothly, and there is no abnormal flame extinguishing or furnace flash explosion phenomenon;
[0069] The thermal efficiency test method is: record the oxygen content in the furnace, the natural environment temperature, humidity, wind speed and the combustion flue gas temperature and other parameters, calculate the combustion thermal efficiency according to the thermal efficiency calculation formula, and the result is: the combustion thermal efficiency (92.3%) is better than the design point (91%);
[0070] The stability test method is: step S5 is to check whether the industrial furnace has an interlocking shutdown phenomenon due to abnormal conditions such as furnace oxygen content, furnace negative pressure or abnormal combustion state during the combustion process of the industrial furnace. The result is: no interlocking shutdown phenomenon occurs, and the industrial furnace runs smoothly.
[0071] Comparative Example
[0072] The industrial furnace of a domestic refinery was not equipped with the relevant safety monitoring process disclosed in this disclosure. After the furnace was abnormally extinguished, the operator directly carried out the furnace ignition process without carrying out the S1-S2 process described in this disclosure. Because gas still entered the furnace through the main line valve and was not ignited in time, unburned gas remained in the furnace, which was ignited during the re-ignition process of the industrial furnace. The furnace flashed and exploded instantly, causing serious casualties and property losses.
