Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biogas slurry treatment, and particularly relates to an electrical control device for a biogas slurry thermal hydrolysis coupled ammonia removal system and a method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The biogas slurry thermal hydrolysis recycling process is to treat the mixed liquid by high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and under the action of thermal hydrolysis and flash steam explosion, the biogas slurry is converted into easily degradable organic matter, and then the biogas slurry rich in easily degradable organic matter is returned to the anaerobic fermentation system for secondary fermentation, so as to realize partial recycling of the biogas slurry, increase the gas production rate of the raw material in the anaerobic fermentation system, and shorten the fermentation time of the raw material. After the thermal hydrolysis recycling process, the amount of biogas slurry in the biogas project can be greatly reduced.
[0003] However, the biogas slurry after anaerobic fermentation of the organic waste in the anaerobic fermentation system contains high-concentration ammonia in the form of NH3 and NH4+. Too high ammonia will inhibit the activity of methanogenic bacteria, resulting in a decrease in the gas production rate. In the biogas slurry thermal hydrolysis recycling process, there is no ammonia removal effect, and when the biogas slurry is recycled, the biogas slurry rich in ammonia is transported back to the anaerobic fermentation system, resulting in a continuous increase in the ammonia concentration in the raw material in the anaerobic fermentation system. After multiple cycles of recycling, the ammonia concentration can reach more than 3000 mg / L, which eventually reduces the gas production rate and leads to unstable operation of the whole process system. The existing technology can perform basic ammonia removal treatment by adding an ammonia removal device in the anaerobic fermentation system, but due to the lack of corresponding electrical control devices and methods, it is difficult to effectively make the traditional anaerobic fermentation system and the ammonia removal device cooperate with each other to form an effective coupled system.

A circuit breaker QF is also provided on the power supply to control the switching of the entire power supply circuit.
[0038] The electrical circuit is also connected with a monitor, an emergency stop button, a control button, an indicator lamp, a controller communication unit and a surge protection module. The monitor provides an operation or setting manual friendly interface under different permissions for field operation and maintenance personnel. The frequency converter automatically tracks the controlled object device and has operation feedback and fault feedback functions, and is a core device for realizing intelligent adjustment and energy saving and environmental protection.
[0039] The emergency stop button is a safety component of the system, directly connected in series in the electrical circuit to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in the first time. The control button is an electric element for manual on-site operation, and the indicator lamp is an electric element for manual on-site inspection and monitoring.

[0041] The slurry screw feed pump is arranged in the feed pipeline of the slurry reactor, and the hot hydrolysis feed pump is arranged in the pipeline leading from the slurry reactor to the hot hydrolysis feed pump.
[0042] A liquid level probe and a temperature probe are arranged in the slurry reactor, a temperature probe and a pressure sensor probe are arranged in the hot hydrolysis reactor, and a liquid level probe and a pressure sensor probe are arranged in the flash separator;
[0043] The valves include an electrically operated on-off valve leading from the hot hydrolysis reactor to the flash separator, a steam reflux valve leading from the flash separator to the slurry reactor, and a steam regulating valve leading to the hot hydrolysis reactor.

[0045] Example Two
[0046] As another embodiment, the control method of the electrical control device for the biogas slurry hot hydrolysis coupling ammonia removal system proposed in Example One includes the following steps:
[0047] Step One: Install the electrical control device for the biogas slurry hot hydrolysis coupling ammonia removal system at the biogas slurry hot hydrolysis coupling ammonia removal system and connect to the power supply;
[0048] Step 2: Connect the level probe and temperature probe in the slurry reactor, the temperature probe and pressure sensor probe in the hot hydrolysis reactor, and the level probe and pressure sensor probe in the flash separator to the PLC input / output card in the electrical control device, and set the high and low threshold values for the corresponding data of each probe and the pressure difference threshold values for the flash separator and the hot hydrolysis reactor in the PID control unit.
[0049] Step 3: Power on the main incoming line switch in the electrical control device, then close the control power switch, and finally close the power switch of the process equipment. Check the display status of each indicator light and enter the pre-start stage.
[0050] Step 4: Start the biogas slurry hot water decoupling ammonia removal system and its electrical control device. The PID control unit compares the data obtained from the probe with the threshold and controls the start and stop of the slurry screw feed pump, hot water decoupling feed pump, and valves to coordinate the reaction progress in the slurry reactor, hot water decoupling reactor, and flash separator, thereby achieving efficient operation of the biogas slurry hot water decoupling ammonia removal system. Figure 3 As shown, the dashed line indicates that the start and stop of the device at the arrow end are determined and controlled based on the data obtained from the probe inside the device at the starting end of the line.
[0051] Specifically:
[0052] When the liquid level in the slurry reactor is below the low threshold, the slurry screw feed pump is started; when the liquid level in the slurry reactor is above the high threshold, the slurry screw feed pump is shut down.
[0053] When the liquid level or temperature in the slurry reactor is below the low threshold, the over-steam reflux valve is opened; when the liquid level or temperature in the slurry reactor is above the high threshold, the over-steam reflux valve is closed.
[0054] The steam regulating valve is opened when the pressure inside the hot hydrolysis reactor is below the low threshold, and closed when the pressure inside the hot hydrolysis reactor is above the high threshold.
[0055] The hot water hydrolysis feed pump is activated when the liquid level in the slurry reactor or the temperature in the hot water hydrolysis reactor exceeds the high threshold, and activated when the liquid level in the slurry reactor or the temperature in the hot water hydrolysis reactor falls below the low threshold. Simultaneously, the hot water hydrolysis feed pump is also activated when the liquid level in the flash separator falls below the low threshold, and shut down when the liquid level in the flash separator rises above the high threshold. This allows the reaction state within the hot water hydrolysis reactor to be adjusted promptly according to the reaction progress in both the slurry reactor and the flash separator, forming a coupling between biogas slurry hot water hydrolysis and ammonia removal, which helps maintain system stability.
[0056] When the difference between the flash separator and the hot water hydrolysis reactor is below the low threshold, the electric switching valve is opened; when the difference between the flash separator and the hot water hydrolysis reactor is above the high threshold, the electric switching valve is shut off.
[0057] At the same time, the electric switch valve is opened when the liquid level in the flash separator is lower than the low threshold value, and the electric switch valve is closed when the liquid level in the flash separator is higher than the high threshold value. Further strengthen the coupling of ammonia removal and thermal hydrolysis process, improve the working efficiency of the flash separator.
[0058] During operation, the operation data of the biogas slurry thermal hydrolysis coupled ammonia removal system is uploaded to the user end for real-time analysis, monitoring and storage. When the feedback information display device of the frequency converter fails, etc., the electric circuit is cut off through the emergency stop button.
