Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of application of low-concentration mine gas, and particularly relates to a device and an operation method for producing steam by regenerative oxidation of low-concentration coal mine gas. Background Art

[0002] At present, for low-concentration gas, such as mine ventilation air with a concentration below 1% and medium-concentration gas with a concentration in the range of 3-9%V, it is usually impossible to directly burn and utilize due to its low concentration. Currently, for safety reasons, it is generally directly vented, which will cause a large amount of resource waste and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle this type of gas. For this type of low-concentration gas, a relatively efficient utilization method is to produce steam using safe combustion technology. However, due to the low concentration of this type of gas and the presence of air in the gas, conventional gas boilers cannot directly and safely burn and utilize it. The commonly used method is to use regenerative heat exchange technology to increase the temperature of the low-concentration gas entering the combustion chamber, thereby increasing the activation energy of the low-concentration gas and realizing the safe oxidation and combustion utilization of the low-concentration gas.

[0003] Currently, during the process of regenerative oxidation and utilization of low-concentration gas, in order to improve the gas utilization rate and energy density, and at the same time safely avoid the lower explosion limit of the gas, medium- and low-concentration gas is usually mixed for concentration adjustment to meet the safe intake conditions of the regenerative oxidation equipment. However, the current concentration adjustment system is not perfect. When the intake gas concentration and gas volume fluctuate, there is a safety hazard that the concentration may exceed the standard and may reach the lower explosion limit of the gas. Moreover, when the intake gas concentration and gas volume fluctuate, problems such as incomplete oxidation and combustion, unstable combustion process, low equipment efficiency, and excessive carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides may also occur.

[0004] Chinese Patent with Application No. CN202011195475.2 discloses a system for producing saturated steam by high-temperature regenerative oxidation of low mine gas, including a gas mixing unit, a gas oxidation unit, and a steam boiler unit connected in sequence. The gas mixing unit includes a gas mixer, an air-gas mixer, a first gas concentration detector, a second gas concentration monitor, a safety relief valve, a safety flame arrester, a pipeline relief valve, a cut-off valve, and a second gas concentration detector; the gas oxidation unit includes a first fan, a switching valve, a first regenerative chamber, a second regenerative chamber, an oxidation chamber, a burner, and a low-temperature flue gas discharge pipeline; the steam boiler unit includes a high-temperature flue gas regulating valve, a steam boiler, a feed water preheater, a feed water system, a second fan, a smoke exhaust pipeline, and a steam output pipeline. This system for producing saturated steam by high-temperature regenerative oxidation of mine gas can effectively oxidize low-concentration gas, make full use of the huge heat released by gas oxidation, produce saturated steam, and replace the original coal-fired boilers in mines. However, the heat energy generated during its oxidation and combustion process uses a natural evaporation boiler, which has problems such as a large volume, slow startup speed, and great safety hazards.

[0019] An operation method of a low-concentration coal mine gas regenerative oxidation steam production device includes the following steps:

[0020] S1: Device startup stage: First, start the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit, the gas regenerative oxidation unit, and the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit respectively.

[0021] After the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit is started, first, through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve, the primary mixing of low-concentration gas and medium-concentration gas is achieved through the primary mixer. After the primary mixing, the gas concentration is controlled at about 3%V. The gas after the primary mixing is then mixed with low-concentration gas through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve and enters the secondary mixer for mixing. After the secondary mixing, the gas concentration is controlled at about 1.2%V. The low-concentration gas after being adjusted through two stages is temporarily vented or enters the gas regenerative oxidation unit for treatment by the control of the transfer and vent valve group.

[0022] After the gas regenerative oxidation unit is started, first confirm that the low-concentration gas transfer valve is in the closed state, open the air intake regulating valve. The air is preheated through heat exchange by the air supply fan, the left side inlet and outlet switching and lifting valve, and the left side regenerative bed, and then enters the upper oxidation chamber for heating by the burner, releasing heat and transferring the heat to the right side regenerative bed. The oxidized waste gas is discharged to the atmosphere through the right side inlet and outlet switching and lifting valve, the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust stack. After a certain period, the two inlet and outlet switching and lifting valves are switched to raise the temperature of both regenerative beds above 700°C. Repeat this cycle. After the gas regenerative oxidation unit operates stably and the oxidation chamber maintains an appropriate temperature, the system enters the standby state, waiting for the entry of low-concentration gas from the two-stage concentration adjustment unit.

[0023] After the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit is started, first start the water-steam circulation system. The switching regulating valve on the direct exhaust stack and the switching regulating valve on the fan inlet pipeline are both in the closed state. When the softened water forms a stable circulation, the system enters the standby waiting state, waiting for the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the previous gas regenerative oxidation unit to enter.

[0024] S2: Normal operation stage: After the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit, the gas regenerative oxidation unit, and the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit operate independently and stably, according to needs, the three units are put into linkage operation.

[0025] First, gradually close the low-concentration vent valve on the pipeline at the rear end of the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit and gradually open the low-concentration transfer valve. The waste gas gradually enters the gas regenerative thermal oxidation unit. As the temperature in the oxidation chamber rises, reduce the burner load. As the waste gas concentration and volume increase, when the temperature in the oxidation chamber further rises to a certain control temperature, the regenerative thermal oxidizer enters the thermal self-balanced stable state, and the burner maintains the minimum ignition state. As the waste gas concentration and flow rate increase, when the temperature in the oxidation chamber continues to rise to a certain higher control temperature, open the switching regulating valve on the direct exhaust pipe of the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit. Part of the excess hot flue gas enters the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit under its own pressure. The softened water is vaporized after heating to produce steam. The remaining part of the flue gas in the oxidation chamber of the regenerative thermal oxidizer transfers heat to the regenerator through another regenerative bed and is discharged through the exhaust pipe. When the self-pressure of the flue gas in the oxidation chamber is insufficient, open the switching regulating valve on the inlet pipeline of the fan, close the switching regulating valve on the direct exhaust pipe, start the induced draft fan for flue gas extraction, and further recover the waste heat of the flue gas through the waste heat extraction pipe on the exhaust pipe at the fan outlet to produce hot water or preheat the softened water inlet.

[0045] An operation method of a low-concentration coal mine gas regenerative oxidation steam production device of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: Device startup stage: First, start the three units of the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit A, the gas regenerative oxidation unit B, and the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit C respectively.

[0047] After the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit A is started, first, through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve, the gas is first mixed at the high-efficiency static first-stage mixer 21 to achieve the first-stage mixing of 0.3-1%V low-concentration gas and 3-9%V medium-concentration gas. After the first-stage mixing, the gas concentration is controlled at about 3%V. The gas after the first-stage mixing is then mixed with 0.3-1%V low-concentration gas again through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve, and enters the high-efficiency static second-stage mixer 24 for second-stage mixing. After the second-stage mixing, the gas concentration reaches 1.2%V, meeting the intake conditions for subsequent gas regenerative thermal oxidation combustion, ensuring that the exhaust gas concentration entering the regenerative thermal oxidizer RTO50 is far from the methane gas explosion limit, and the oxidation combustion process is stable, safe, and controllable. As needed, the low-concentration gas that has been adjusted in two stages is controlled by the transfer and vent switching valve group to be temporarily vented or enter the next regenerative thermal oxidation unit B for treatment;

[0048] After the gas regenerative thermal oxidation unit B is started, first confirm that the low-concentration gas delivery valve 26 is in the closed state, open the air intake regulating valve 28. The air is preheated through heat exchange by the air supply fan 30, the left side inlet and outlet switching lift valve LPV, the left side inlet pipe box valve port 36, and the left side regenerative bed LB, and then enters the upper oxidation chamber 51 to be heated by the burner. The oxidation releases heat and transfers the heat to the right side regenerative bed RB. The exhaust gas after oxidation is discharged to the atmosphere through the right side inlet and outlet switching lift valve RPV, the right side outlet pipe box valve port 48, the exhaust pipeline, and the exhaust stack 58. After a certain period (generally 30S-120S), the two inlet and outlet switching lift valves are switched to raise the temperature of both regenerative beds to above 700°C. This cycle is repeated. After the low-concentration gas regenerative thermal oxidation unit B operates stably and the oxidation chamber 51 maintains an appropriate temperature, the system can enter the standby state and wait for the low-concentration gas from the previous two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit A to enter;

[0049] After the once-through waste heat utilization steam production unit C is started, first start the water-steam circulation system, start the softened water feed pump 63. The softened water is measured for temperature by the second temperature sensor 64, measured for flow by the flow meter 65, and adjusted by the flow regulating valve 66, and then enters the steam heat extraction coil in the once-through waste heat recovery furnace body 61, and then flows into the steam outlet steam-water separator 68 to form a softened water cycle; at this time, the switching regulating valves on the direct exhaust stack 73 and the fan inlet pipeline 74 are both in the closed state. When the softened water forms a stable cycle, the system enters the standby waiting state and waits for the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the previous regenerative thermal oxidation unit B to enter;

[0050] S2: Normal operation stage:

[0051] After the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit A, the gas regenerative oxidation unit B, and the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit C are started separately and can operate stably independently, the three units are put into linkage operation according to needs.

[0052] First, gradually close the low-concentration gas vent valve 27 on the pipeline at the rear end of the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit A and gradually open the low-concentration gas delivery valve 26. The waste gas gradually enters the gas regenerative oxidation unit B. As the temperature of the oxidation chamber 51 rises, control and adjust to reduce the burner load through the control system CS. As the waste gas concentration and gas volume increase, when the temperature of the oxidation chamber 51 further rises to a certain control temperature, at this time, the regenerative thermal oxidizer RTO50 enters the thermal self-balanced stable maintenance state, and the burner maintains the minimum ignition state. Through this regenerative heat exchange, more than 95% of the combustion heat of the gas is efficiently recovered. As the waste gas concentration and flow rate increase, when the temperature of the oxidation chamber 51 continues to rise to a certain higher control temperature, the first switching regulating valve 75 on the direct exhaust pipe 73 in the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit C is opened, and part of the excess hot flue gas enters the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit C under self-pressure. The softened water is vaporized after heating to produce steam. The remaining part of the flue gas in the oxidation chamber 51 transfers heat to the heat storage body through another heat storage bed and is discharged through the exhaust pipe 58 of the regenerative oxidation unit. In the above process, the heat of the oxidized flue gas is distributed in a suitable proportion. Part of the excess hot flue gas is used to produce steam, and the other part of the hot flue gas is used to maintain the normal operation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer RTO50 self-sustainably; when the self-pressure of the flue gas is insufficient, the second switching regulating valve 76 on the pipeline at the inlet of the fan 74 in the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit C can also be opened, the first switching regulating valve 75 is closed, and the induced draft fan 77 is started for flue gas induction. At this time, the waste heat of the flue gas can be further recovered through the waste heat extraction pipe 79 on the exhaust pipe at the outlet of the fan to produce hot water or preheat the softened water inlet.

[0053] The low-concentration coal mine gas regenerative oxidation steam production device of the present invention adopts two-stage gas concentration adjustment, realizes the safety mixing concentration control of low-concentration gas and medium- and high-concentration gas. After the gas is mixed through the aforementioned two-stage mixer, the gas concentration can be adjusted to about 1.2%V, which can meet the requirements for safe and stable subsequent regenerative oxidation combustion. The device has a simple structure, a small scale, and higher safety. At the same time, it can effectively utilize the excess heat of regenerative oxidation to produce steam, recover the gas resources while achieving environmental protection and low-carbon emission reduction. The device can flexibly select to produce steam or hot water according to user needs, and realize uses such as heat supply, power generation, and refrigeration.

[0054] The operation control method of the low-concentration coal mine gas heat storage oxidation steam production device of the present invention. The two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit, the gas heat storage oxidation unit, and the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit are operationally controlled through a control system. Each unit can operate independently or be operationally controlled in association. The control system is provided with three different control units and has a safety interlock protection function. The operation interface is respectively provided with three unit process control interfaces, making the operation control clearer and more convenient. It can realize the concentration mixing adjustment of the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit through the associated control of concentration detection and flow adjustment, the associated control of the inlet and outlet gas switching frequency of the gas heat storage oxidation unit with the exhaust temperature and the heat storage recovery efficiency, the associated control of the temperature of the oxidation chamber with the inlet gas concentration, flow rate, burner load, top exhaust volume, and bottom exhaust volume, and the associated control of the steam flow rate and pressure of the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit with the flue gas temperature and flow rate.

[0055] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in combination with the preferred technical solutions, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the invention is limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, without departing from the concept of the present invention, simple deductions and substitutions can also be made, which should all be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.

After the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit is started, first, through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve, the primary mixing of low concentration gas and medium concentration gas is achieved through the primary mixer. After the primary mixing, the gas concentration is controlled at about 3%V. The gas after the primary mixing is then mixed with the low concentration gas through concentration detection and control of the high and low concentration gas flow ratio by the regulating valve and enters the secondary mixer for mixing. After the secondary mixing, the gas concentration is controlled at about 1.2%V. The low concentration gas that has been adjusted in two stages is controlled by the transfer and vent switching valve group to be temporarily vented or enter the gas regenerative oxidation unit for treatment. After the gas regenerative oxidation unit is started, first confirm that the low concentration gas transfer valve is in the closed state, open the air intake regulating valve. The air is preheated through heat exchange through the air supply fan, the left side inlet and outlet switching lift valve, and the left side regenerative bed, and then enters the upper oxidation chamber to be heated by the burner, releasing heat and transferring the heat to the right side regenerative bed. The oxidized waste gas is discharged to the atmosphere through the right side inlet and outlet switching lift valve, the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust stack. After a certain period, the two inlet and outlet switching lift valves are switched to raise the temperature of both regenerative beds above 700°C. This cycle is repeated. After the gas regenerative oxidation unit operates stably and the oxidation chamber maintains an appropriate temperature, the system enters the standby state, waiting for the low concentration gas from the two-stage concentration adjustment unit to enter. After the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit is started, first start the water-steam circulation system.

First, gradually close the low-concentration vent valve and gradually open the low-concentration transfer valve on the pipeline at the rear end of the two-stage gas concentration adjustment unit. The waste gas gradually enters the gas regenerative thermal oxidation unit. As the temperature in the oxidation chamber rises, reduce the burner load. As the concentration and volume of the waste gas increase, when the temperature in the oxidation chamber further rises to a certain control temperature, the regenerative thermal oxidizer enters the thermal self-balanced stable state, and the burner maintains the minimum ignition state. As the concentration and flow rate of the waste gas increase, when the temperature in the oxidation chamber continues to rise to a certain higher control temperature, open the switching regulating valve on the direct exhaust stack of the once-through waste heat recovery steam production unit.
