Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of desulfurization, in particular to a wet desulfurization system. Background Art

[0002] Wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is characterized by its desulfurization system being located at the end of the flue, after the dust collector. The reaction temperature during the desulfurization process is below the dew point, and because it is a gas-liquid reaction, the desulfurization reaction is fast and efficient. The gypsum method, by injecting air into the slurry in the absorber, forcibly oxidizes CaSO₃ to CaSO₄, resulting in gypsum as a desulfurization byproduct. The gypsum method offers distinct advantages, including a wide range of applications, high desulfurization efficiency, high absorbent utilization, high equipment availability, high reliability, and a plentiful and inexpensive desulfurizer source. It is currently the most mature FGD process.

[0003] Absorber slurry pH meters are used to measure the pH of slurry in wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems in thermal power plants. They are typically installed on a branch pipe from the gypsum slurry pump outlet, located at the same location as the slurry pipeline that carries the slurry to the gypsum cyclone. However, in actual operation, this setup has been found to be prone to erosion damage to the pH meter, increasing its failure rate and hindering the long-term stable operation of the wet flue gas desulfurization system.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the wet flue gas desulfurization system of this embodiment includes an absorption tower 1 and a controller (not shown in the figure), a slurry discharge pipe 2 is provided at the outlet end of the absorption tower 1, a gypsum slurry discharge pump 3 is provided on the slurry discharge pipe 2, a slurry pipe 6, a detection pipe 7 and a return tower pipe 8 are provided in parallel at the outlet end of the slurry discharge pipe 2, a slurry discharge valve 9 is provided on the slurry pipe 6, a slurry inlet valve 10 and a pH meter 11 are provided in sequence on the detection pipe 7, and a return tower valve 12 is provided on the return tower pipe 8, the outlet end of the slurry pipe 6 is connected to the gypsum cyclone, and the outlet ends of the detection pipe 7 and the return tower pipe 8 are connected to the absorption tower 1, and the controller is electrically connected to each valve to control each valve.

[0027] The wet flue gas desulfurization system of this embodiment is provided with a slurry discharge pipe 2 at the outlet end of the absorption tower 1. The slurry discharge pipe 2 is used to transport the slurry in the absorption tower 1 to the slurry pipe 6, the detection pipe 7 and the return pipe 8 at the outlet end. A gypsum slurry discharge pump 3 is provided on the slurry discharge pipe 2, an inlet valve 4 is provided at the inlet end of the gypsum slurry discharge pump 3, and an outlet valve 5 is provided at the outlet end of the gypsum slurry discharge pump 3.

[0028] A slurry pipeline 6, a detection pipeline 7 and a return tower pipeline 8 are arranged in parallel at the outlet end of the slurry discharge pipeline 2. The slurry pipeline 6 is mainly used to send the slurry to the gypsum cyclone for subsequent treatment. A slurry discharge valve 9 is provided on the slurry pipeline 6, and the outlet end of the slurry pipeline 6 is connected to the gypsum cyclone; the detection pipeline 7 is mainly used to detect the slurry. A slurry inlet valve 10 and a pH meter 11 for detecting the pH value of the slurry are sequentially provided on the detection pipeline 7, and the outlet end of the detection pipeline 7 is connected to the absorption tower 1; the return tower pipeline 8 is mainly used to return the slurry to the absorption tower 1 when the slurry discharge valve 9 is closed, so as to avoid damage to the pH meter 11 due to excessive slurry pressure and flow rate in the detection pipeline 7. A return tower valve 12 is provided on the return tower pipeline 8, and the outlet end of the return tower pipeline 8 is connected to the absorption tower 1.

[0029] Specifically, the return tower pipe 8 and the slurry pipe 6 have the same diameter, for example, DN150. The diameter of the detection pipe 7 is 1 / 3 of the diameter of the slurry pipe 6, for example, DN50. Furthermore, there are no strict restrictions on the type of valves, and they can be reasonably set according to actual needs. For example, the slurry discharge valve 9 can be an electric valve, and the return tower valve 12 can be a pneumatic valve.

[0030] Furthermore, a pH meter flushing pipe 13 is provided at the inlet end of the pH meter 11, and a pH meter flushing valve 14 is provided on the pH meter flushing pipe 13 to flush the pH meter 11. In addition, a return tower flushing pipe 15 is provided at the outlet end of the return tower valve 12, and a return tower flushing valve 16 is provided on the return tower flushing pipe 15 to flush the return tower pipe 8.

[0031] The controller is electrically connected to the gypsum slurry pump 3 and each valve to control the gypsum slurry pump 3 and each valve; specifically, when the gypsum discharge is stopped and the slurry discharge valve 9 is closed, the return tower valve 12 is interlocked to open, thereby returning the excess slurry to the absorption tower 1, thereby avoiding damage to the pH meter 11 caused by excessive slurry pressure and flow rate in the measuring pipeline.

[0032] It is understood that the absorption tower 1 is provided with an alkali adding device (not shown) for adding limestone to the absorption tower 1. When the pH meter 11 detects that the pH value of the slurry is less than a preset value, the controller controls the alkali adding device to turn on; when the pH meter 11 detects that the pH value of the slurry is greater than or equal to the preset value, the controller controls the alkali adding device to turn off, thereby ensuring that the pH value of the slurry in the absorption tower 1 is within an appropriate pH range, for example, pH 5.2-5.8.

[0033] The wet flue gas desulfurization system of this embodiment is provided with a slurry pipeline 6, a detection pipeline 7 and a return tower pipeline 8 in parallel at the outlet end of the slurry discharge pipeline 2. When the slurry discharge valve 9 on the slurry pipeline 6 is closed, the return tower valve 12 of the return tower pipeline 8 is opened, so that the slurry returns to the absorption tower 1 through the return tower pipeline 8, avoiding damage to the pH meter 11 caused by excessive slurry pressure and flow rate in the detection pipeline 7, effectively reducing the failure rate of the pH meter 11, which is beneficial to the long-term stable operation of the wet flue gas desulfurization system and has wide application value in the wet flue gas desulfurization process.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the wet desulfurization system of this embodiment is based on the wet desulfurization system of Example 1, and a density meter 17 is further provided on the detection pipe 7. The density meter 17 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0036] Specifically, the density meter 17 and the pH meter 11 can be arranged in parallel on the detection pipe 7; the density meter 17 is used to detect the density of the slurry to ensure that the density of the slurry in the absorption tower 1 is within a suitable range, for example, 1110-1130 kg / m 3 .

[0037] The density meter 17 is electrically connected to the controller. When the density meter 17 detects that the slurry density is less than the preset value, the controller simultaneously controls the slurry discharge valve 9 to close and the return tower valve 12 to open; when the density meter 17 detects that the slurry density is greater than or equal to the preset value, the controller simultaneously controls the slurry discharge valve 9 to open and the return tower valve 12 to close.

[0038] The wet flue gas desulfurization system of this embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to implement and requires little investment. By setting a return tower pipe 8 and a return tower valve 12, the return tower valve 12 is immediately interlocked and opened when the slurry discharge valve 9 is closed, so that the slurry returns to the absorption tower 1 through the return tower pipe 8, avoiding damage to the pH meter 11 caused by excessive slurry pressure and flow rate in the detection pipe 7, and ensuring the safe operation of the system. This setting method is simple to operate and flexible to control, and can effectively reduce the scouring and damage to the pH meter 11 when the gypsum is shut down, effectively reducing the failure rate of the pH meter 11, and has high social and economic benefits. In addition, the above setting method is applicable to most wet flue gas desulfurization systems and has a high value of promotion and use.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
