Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of incineration, and in particular relates to a method and a system for incinerating organic acid wood vinegar and recovering heat energy. Background Art

[0002] Biomass gasification furnaces produce fuel gas from crop straw, forestry waste, and other sources. This fuel gas is a green, renewable energy source with strong vitality, renewable properties, low pollution, and widespread distribution. Using biomass as an alternative energy source is crucial for reducing carbon emissions, mitigating the greenhouse effect, and improving atmospheric acid rain. A biomass gasification system utilizes biomass in a closed, oxygen-deficient combustion furnace. Through dry distillation, pyrolysis, and thermochemical oxidation, combustible gas is produced, along with biomass tar and wood vinegar. After separation, the biomass tar and wood vinegar must be processed separately.

[0003] Wood vinegar pollutes the environment and cannot be discharged directly. Conventional methods for treating wood vinegar involve burning it, which, after complete combustion, primarily produces carbon dioxide, which can be discharged directly. However, conventional combustion methods are prone to incomplete combustion, resulting in the discharge of organic acids that are not completely burned. Furthermore, conventional combustion methods consume a large amount of energy, resulting in low energy utilization and excessive energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the flow rate of the high-temperature steam directed to the vertical incinerator is controlled to be 2-4 m / s to achieve sufficient incineration of the high-temperature steam.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a system for implementing the above-mentioned method of incinerating the organic acid wood vinegar and recovering heat energy, the system comprising:

[0016] A vertical incinerator, comprising a furnace at the bottom and a smoke pipe directly above the furnace, wherein the furnace has a combustion chamber provided with a steam inlet;

[0017] a burner, disposed in the combustion chamber;

[0018] A heat exchanger is arranged around the smoke pipe, and a steam outlet is provided on the top of the heat exchanger;

[0019] a flow guide pipe connected between the steam inlet and the steam outlet;

[0021] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the number of the heat exchangers is two or more, and the two or more heat exchangers are arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and different heat exchangers are connected to each other.

[0022] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the steam inlet is provided corresponding to the burner, and the flame of the burner directly acts on the high-temperature steam flowing into the combustion chamber through the steam inlet.

[0023] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a safety pipe and a water level gauge are installed on the heat exchanger.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] This embodiment provides a method for incinerating wood vinegar containing organic acids and recovering heat energy, which is used to treat wood vinegar containing organic acids produced in a biomass gasification system, and includes the following steps:

[0032] 1) Start the vertical incinerator for incineration;

[0033] 2) Maintain the combustion temperature of the vertical incinerator in the range of 700°C to 1000°C, for example, 800°C;

[0034] 3) passing the wood vinegar containing organic acid produced in the biomass gasification system into a heat exchanger arranged on the smoke pipe of the vertical incinerator; wherein the flue gas generated during the combustion process of the vertical incinerator can exchange heat with the wood vinegar in the heat exchanger when passing through the smoke pipe, so that the wood vinegar in the heat exchanger is converted into high-temperature steam; wherein the heat exchanger on the smoke pipe can be multiple to form a multi-stage continuous heat exchange effect;

[0035] 4) directing the high-temperature steam to the vertical incinerator for incineration, so that the organic acid contained in the high-temperature steam is completely incinerated to complete the harmless treatment of the wood vinegar containing the organic acid.

[0036] Specifically, the temperature of the high-temperature steam directed from the heat exchanger to the vertical incinerator is above 100°C; preferably, the temperature of the high-temperature steam directed from the heat exchanger to the vertical incinerator is in the range of 150°C to 200°C, which can not only achieve efficient heat exchange, but also facilitate subsequent incineration treatment of the high-temperature steam.

[0037] Furthermore, after heat exchange with the wood vinegar in the heat exchanger, the temperature of the flue gas discharged from the vertical incinerator is reduced to 300°C or below. For example, the temperature of the flue gas discharged from the vertical incinerator is about 200°C.

[0038] Among them, the pressure value of the high-temperature steam diverted to the vertical incinerator is controlled to be below 20kPa, for example, the pressure value of the high-temperature steam diverted to the vertical incinerator is 10kPa, and at the same time, the flow rate of the high-temperature steam diverted to the vertical incinerator is controlled to be 2-4m / s, for example, the flow rate of the high-temperature steam diverted to the vertical incinerator is 3m / s, so as to coordinately realize the orderly supply of high-temperature steam and ensure that the high-temperature steam is completely incinerated.

[0039] In the above method of this embodiment, the flue gas generated by the combustion of the vertical incinerator is heat exchanged with the wood vinegar in the heat exchanger, thereby utilizing the heat energy on the one hand, heating the wood vinegar to form high-temperature steam, and achieving complete incineration of the high-temperature steam on the other hand, thereby having the advantages of significant energy saving effect and high incineration efficiency.

[0042] The heat exchanger 30 is arranged around the smoke pipe 12, and a steam outlet 31 is provided at the top of the heat exchanger 30. The guide pipe 40 is connected between the steam inlet 14 and the steam outlet 31. The wood vinegar entering the heat exchanger 30 is heat exchanged by the smoke pipe 12 to form high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam flows into the combustion chamber 13 through the guide pipe 40 for incineration, thereby completing the harmless treatment of the wood vinegar containing organic acid.

[0043] In this embodiment, the smoke tube 12 has a longer length to provide a larger effective heat exchange area.

[0044] Specifically, the number of the heat exchangers 30 is two or more, and the two or more heat exchangers 30 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top, and different heat exchangers 30 are interconnected, for example, including two heat exchangers 30.
