Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engine exhaust treatment, in particular to an ammonia fuel engine exhaust treatment system and an ammonia fuel engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of marine transportation, global greenhouse gas emissions have gradually increased. In 2018, the International Maritime Organization proposed a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry, which proposed to reduce the annual total greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050 based on the total annual greenhouse gas emissions in 2008, and move towards the goal of green zero carbon emissions. Countries have taken corresponding emission reduction measures. Energy is the main body, and it is urgent for China to transform to low-carbon and zero-carbon energy as soon as possible. Ammonia is an ideal carbon-free fuel, and in terms of unit mass energy storage, the energy density of ammonia is even higher than that of batteries, close to fossil fuels, so the good energy storage capacity and transportation safety characteristics are the great advantages of ammonia as fuel. Under the promotion of the "double carbon" policy, ammonia engine is expected to become the main power device of the ship. Although the pure ammonia engine avoids the emission of CO2, SOX and other pollutants, it will produce problems of NO, NO2 and ammonia escape.

[0003] At present, the single pollutant removal technology of SCR technology for removing nitrogen oxides on ships is relatively mature, which has the advantages of high efficiency and good reliability. However, the biggest problem restricting the development of SCR technology is the use of catalysts. The catalysts of the SCR system need to be replaced and maintained regularly, which increases the use cost and reduces the economic benefit. In addition, the gas composition in the exhaust gas of the pure ammonia engine has changed. Since the pure ammonia engine will produce the problem of ammonia escape, a certain amount of ammonia gas will exist in the exhaust gas, which needs to be absorbed to prevent poisoning and pollution problems.

[0004] The deficiencies of the existing pure ammonia engine exhaust treatment technology for ships mainly lie in three aspects: first, when using selective non-catalytic reduction technology (SNCR) to treat NOX, ammonia gas is corrosive, and a large amount of ammonia gas sprayed into the engine will cause stress corrosion, which will have a certain impact on the engine work and service life; second, when using selective catalytic reduction technology (SCR), the catalysts in the SCR system need to be maintained and replaced regularly, which increases the use cost; third, when using ammonia engine as a power source, the problem of ammonia escape will occur, and a certain amount of ammonia gas will exist in the exhaust gas, which needs to be treated in time.

[0052] The outlet of the ammonia fuel tank 3 is connected to the liquid ammonia input end of the first heat exchanger 11, the ammonia gas output end of the first heat exchanger 11 is connected to the ammonia input end of the pure ammonia engine 1 and the input end of the plasma generating device 4 respectively, and the output end of the plasma generating device 4 is connected to the electric arc input end of the denitration reactor.

[0053] The working principle of the exhaust treatment system of the ammonia fuel engine of the present embodiment is as follows:

[0054] a. The exhaust gas discharged from the pure ammonia engine 1 enters the four-way control valve 9 through the exhaust pipeline, and the exhaust gas is divided into three parts in the four-way control valve 9. The first part of the exhaust gas enters the inside of the folded pipe flue of the second heat exchanger 6 to provide heat energy for the activation of sodium persulfate, and after a series of heat exchange, it is discharged from the folded pipe flue of the second heat exchanger 6 and flows into the four-way control valve 9 before the denitration reactor 5; the second part of the exhaust gas directly flows into the four-way control valve 9 before the denitration reactor 5; the third part of the exhaust gas enters the inside of the folded pipe flue of the first heat exchanger 11 to provide heat for the vaporization of liquid ammonia, and then is discharged from the folded pipe flue of the heat exchanger 6 and flows into the four-way control valve 9 before the denitration reactor 5.

[0055] b. The three streams of waste gas, combined in the four-way control valve 9 before the denitrification reactor 5, enter the denitrification reactor 5. Inside the denitrification reactor 5, ammonia gas, ionized by the arc plasma generator 4, is present. The ionized ammonia gas contains a large number of positive and negative ions, free radicals, and electrons, which undergo strong elastic and inelastic collisions with the waste gas. This process enhances the activity of each gaseous component and simultaneously increases the reactivity of NH3 and NO. X The rate at which the reduction reaction occurs.

[0056] c. Most of the NO is eliminated through a reduction reaction in denitrification reactor 5. X The treated waste gas enters scrubbing tower 7, which contains two spray layers. The lower spray layer primarily cools the gas and absorbs ammonia, while the upper spray layer sprays sodium persulfate solution containing strong oxidizing free radicals that react with unreacted NO in the waste gas. X An oxidation reaction occurs, producing nitrates and sulfates. The treated waste gas, after passing through a demister in scrubbing tower 7 to remove mist, is directly discharged into the atmosphere through the upper waste gas outlet. The remaining waste liquid is discharged from the lower outlet of the scrubbing tower and enters the waste liquid storage tank 8. The reactions occurring in scrubbing tower 7 include:

[0057] S2O8 2- →2SO4 2-

[0058]

[0059] OH - +NO→H + +NO2 -

[0060]

[0061] S2O8 2- +H₂O + SO₂ → 2HSO₄ - +H2SO4

[0062]

[0063] d. The sodium persulfate solution provided by the washing liquid tank 2 enters the heat exchanger 6 to exchange heat with the exhaust gas from the pure ammonia engine, realizing the activation and enhancement process of the sodium persulfate solution. After heating, a large number of oxidizing free radicals are generated in the sodium persulfate solution. The activated sodium persulfate solution is sent to the two-layer atomizing nozzle in the washing tower 7 through pipelines to fully contact and mix with the exhaust gas.

[0064] e.Liquid ammonia in ammonia fuel tank 3 is delivered into heat exchanger 6 through pipeline to exchange heat with waste gas, and the ammonia gas obtained after vaporization is mostly used as fuel for ammonia engine, and a small part of ammonia gas is used as carrier wind in generator of arc plasma generating device 4. In the generator, ammonia gas is excited and ionized into plasma state by high-temperature arc, and a large amount of positive and negative ions, free radicals and electrons are generated.

[0065] The main technical points of the waste gas treatment system of the ammonia fuel engine of the embodiment are as follows:

[0066] The system is composed of engine body 1, plasma generating device 4, denitration reactor 5 and washing tower 7, and can remove most of NOx and NH3 in the exhaust gas of engine body 1. X

[0067] (2) In the denitration reactor, NOx in the exhaust gas can react with ionized ammonia gas to generate N2 without catalyst, reducing the use of catalyst. X

[0068] (3) Plasma generating device 4 has the advantages of concentrated arc energy, high temperature and good electrical conductivity, which can effectively ionize ammonia gas into plasma, increase the mutual collision between substances, strengthen and accelerate the reaction rate of NOx reduction to N2, and improve the reaction conversion rate.

[0069] (4) Water cooling is used in plasma generating device 4 to maintain long-term stable operation of the generator. To reduce the corrosion of cooling water to the engine body and prevent high-temperature fouling, desalted chemical water is used as cooling water

[0070] (5) The strong oxidizing solution used for washing is first passed through second heat exchanger 6 from washing liquid tank 2, and exchanges heat with the exhaust gas discharged from engine body 1 in the heat exchanger, which can activate the washing liquid, improve its oxidation performance, and reduce energy consumption.

[0071] (6) Liquid ammonia is first passed through first heat exchanger 11 from ammonia fuel tank 3, and exchanges heat with the exhaust gas discharged from engine body 1 in the heat exchanger, which realizes vaporization of liquid ammonia and improves the utilization rate of waste heat.

[0072] (7) Two layers of spray layers are arranged inside washing tower 7, and the spray nozzles in the two layers are arranged in a ring shape, which can improve the spray coverage and increase the contact area with the washing liquid.

[0073] (8) The demister is a wave-shaped plate demister made of high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which can realize steam-water separation.

[0074] (9) The washing liquid used in washing tower 7 is sodium persulfate solution with strong oxidation, which can efficiently remove NOx.​​

[0075] (10) Waste liquid storage tank 8 stores the waste solution containing nitrate, sulfate and ammonia in the storage tank, waiting for the ship to dock for further treatment.

[0076] 7. Effects of the present application:

[0077] The present application has the advantages that the device can simultaneously achieve denitration and ammonia capture, has high removal efficiency, greatly reduces the amount of washing liquid, has small footprint, and is suitable for use in narrow spaces on a ship.

[0078] Another advantage is that the plasma generating device 4 using ammonia gas as the carrier wind ionizes the ammonia gas into a plasma state to form a plasma torch, which contains a large number of positive and negative ions, free radicals and electrons, which can increase the mutual collision between substances, strengthen and accelerate the reaction rate of NOx reduction to N2, and improve the reaction conversion rate.

[0079] Another advantage is that the plasma generating device 4 plus the denitration reaction device can achieve rapid and efficient reaction of the reducing agent with NO x without the need for a catalyst, which reduces the installation and regular maintenance and replacement costs of the catalyst, lowers costs, and improves economic benefits.

[0080] Another advantage is that the washing liquid uses a substance with strong oxidizing properties, which can react with the incompletely reacted NO X in the denitration reactor to oxidize it into high-valence nitrogen oxides, ultimately generating nitrate to achieve removal, and a certain amount of ammonia gas exists in the engine body 1 exhaust, which can use the property of ammonia gas that it is easily soluble in water to use the washing liquid to absorb the escaped ammonia gas to prevent ammonia gas from being discharged.

[0081] Another advantage is that the use of engine body 1 exhaust waste heat and washing liquid for heat exchange can achieve the heating and activation of the washing liquid, which not only effectively utilizes engine waste heat, but also generates a large amount of strong oxidizing free radicals during the heating of the washing liquid, increases the oxidation capacity, improves the reaction activity, and enhances the reaction process with NO X .

[0082] Another advantage is that the mixed solution of nitrate, sulfate and ammonia water in the washing tower 7 is stored to avoid direct discharge of the nitrate and sulfate solution and ammonia water into the sea, which can adversely affect the environment.

[0083] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
