Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oxidation furnace cleaning, and in particular to a cleaning method and device for a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). Background Art
[0002] A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an efficient and environmentally friendly organic waste gas treatment device. Its principle is to oxidize organic waste gas into harmless water and carbon dioxide at high temperature to achieve the purpose of purifying waste gas. Compared with catalytic combustion, traditional direct combustion, adsorption, absorption, condensation and other methods, it has the advantages of high treatment efficiency, no secondary pollution, large waste gas treatment volume, stable operation and low energy consumption.
[0003] The existing regenerative thermal oxidizer includes a regenerative chamber and a combustion chamber. The regenerative chamber and the combustion chamber are connected with an exhaust gas inlet pipe, a clean gas outlet pipe and a fresh air pipe. During use, a negative pressure purge method is used to clean the equipment. However, in actual use, in addition to volatile organic waste gas, the exhaust gas may also contain dust and other impurities. Therefore, blockage may occur during gas delivery or impurities may adhere to the pipe wall. In this case, negative pressure cleaning may not be able to completely clean it. Therefore, a cleaning method and device are needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning method and device for an RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer, which can effectively clean the accumulation of impurities on the inner wall of the furnace and the pipeline and assist in cleaning the oxidation furnace.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A cleaning method for an RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer. After the waste gas has completed combustion for the first time, the combustion system is suspended, the solid impurities adsorbed in the intake pipe are cleaned, after gas-solid separation, the gas is circulated into the intake pipe for re-combustion treatment, and finally the oxidation furnace is closed and the solid impurities are taken out for cleaning.
[0007] A device for implementing the cleaning method of an RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer as described above, comprising a combustion chamber, a regenerative chamber, an intake pipe for conveying organic waste gas, an outlet pipe for outputting purified tail gas, and a fresh air supplement pipe. A cleaning component is provided inside the intake pipe. A circulation pipe is connected to the intake pipe. One end of the circulation pipe communicates with the middle section of the intake pipe, and the other end of the circulation pipe communicates with the intake end of the intake pipe. The cleaning component includes a scraping blade component and a driving mechanism for driving the scraping blade component to work. A filter screen is detachably installed in the middle section of the circulation pipe, and an air extraction pump is also provided on the circulation pipe.
[0008] Further, a primary filter screen is provided at the intake end of the intake pipe, and a secondary filter screen is provided at the end of the intake pipe communicating with the regenerative chamber.
[0009] Further, the scraping blade component includes a first scraping blade and a second scraping blade. Scraping teeth are staggered on the first scraping blade and the second scraping blade. A first gear is provided at the end of the first scraping blade, and a second gear is provided at the end of the second scraping blade. The driving component includes a first driving motor and a second driving motor. Output shafts of the first driving motor and the second driving motor are respectively fixedly connected with a first driving gear and a second driving gear. The first driving gear and the second driving gear are respectively meshed with the first gear and the second gear.
[0010] Further, the first driving motor and the second driving motor are respectively installed on the inner walls of both ends of the intake pipe, and protective shells are provided outside the first driving motor and the second driving motor.
[0011] Advantages of the present invention:
[0012] In an actual use scenario, when the waste gas combustion in the oxidizer is completed, the burner in the combustion chamber is turned off, the intake end of the intake pipe is closed, and at the same time, the outlet pipe and the fresh air supplement pipe are closed. The driving mechanism is started to drive the scraping blade component to clean the inner wall of the intake pipe. After the sundries attached to the inner wall of the intake pipe are scraped off, the air extraction pump on the circulation pipe is started, and the scraped sundries are sucked into the circulation pipe by the large suction force. The waste gas passes through the filter screen and enters the intake end of the intake pipe, and circulates into the intake pipe. The sundries are intercepted by the filter screen. After circulating for a certain period of time, the air extraction pump is turned off, and the combustion system is started to continue burning the remaining tail gas, and finally, it is swept by fresh air. After the combustion is completed, the filter screen is removed for cleaning and replacement. The present invention has a simple structure and is convenient to operate, and can effectively clean the sundries adsorbed in the intake pipe. Description of the Drawings

[0018] The device used includes a combustion chamber 1, a regenerative chamber 2, an intake pipe 3 for transporting organic waste gas, an outlet pipe 4 for outputting purified tail gas, and a fresh air supplement pipe 5. A cleaning component 6 is arranged inside the intake pipe 3. A circulation pipe 7 is connected to the intake pipe 3.

When the waste gas combustion in the oxidizer is completed, the burner in the combustion chamber 1 is closed, the intake end of the intake pipe 3 is closed, and at the same time the outlet pipe 4 and the fresh air supplement pipe 5 are closed. The driving mechanism 62 is started to drive the blade scraping component 61 to clean the inner wall of the intake pipe 3. After the sundries attached to the inner wall of the intake pipe 3 are scraped off, the air extraction pump 72 on the circulation pipe 7 is started, and the scraped sundries are sucked into the circulation pipe 7 by the large suction force. The waste gas passes through the filter screen 71 and enters the intake end of the intake pipe 3, and circulates into the intake pipe 3, while the sundries are intercepted by the filter screen 71. After circulating for a certain period of time, the air extraction pump 72 is closed, the combustion system is started, and the remaining tail gas is continued to be burned, and finally blown by fresh air. After the combustion is completed, the filter screen 71 is removed for cleaning and replacement. This cleaning device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and can effectively clean the sundries adsorbed in the intake pipe.

The setting parameters are conventional prior art in the field, so they are not described again. The first scraper 611 and the second scraper 612 cooperate with each other to complete the cleaning of the entire inner wall of the duct.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the first drive motor 621 and the second drive motor 622 are respectively installed on the pipe walls at both ends of the intake pipe 3, and the first drive motor 621 and the second drive motor 622 are provided with protective shells. In this embodiment, the first drive motor 621 and the second drive motor 622 are respectively installed on the pipe walls at both ends of the intake pipe 3, so as to drive the first scraper 611 and the second scraper 612 to rotate respectively without affecting each other.
