[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the desulfurization emission control method described in this invention, the recommendation based on the power arrangement of the slurry circulation pumps includes the following: In actual construction, when two slurry circulation pumps with different power are present on site, if the flow coefficient corresponding to the high-power slurry circulation pump is greater than the flow coefficient per unit power corresponding to the low-power slurry circulation pump, and the flow rate required by the low-power slurry circulation pump to satisfy the total sulfur content is greater than or equal to the flow rate required by the high-power slurry circulation pump to satisfy the total sulfur content, then, since the flow coefficient per unit power gradually increases with the increase of pump power,
[0021] ,
[0022] in, This refers to the power of a low-power slurry circulation pump. The power of a high-power slurry circulation pump, The flow coefficient of a low-power slurry circulation pump. The flow coefficient of a high-power slurry circulation pump;
[0023] The optimal combination is a combination of one low-power slurry circulation pump and one high-power slurry circulation pump.

[0025] Therefore, the optimal combination is to select two high-power slurry circulation pumps.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the desulfurization emission control method of the present invention, the determination of whether the slurry circulation pump combination is the optimal combination includes: if the deviation exceeds the preset tolerance range, the system will automatically issue an alarm; when the system issues an alarm, the system's built-in optimization algorithm calculates the parameters that can achieve the optimal desulfurization effect and energy consumption under the current conditions; on-site personnel adjust the parameters to remove the alarm; the system will continue to monitor the operating parameters; if the fluctuation is stable within the recommended value range, the system will operate normally; if the adjusted parameters exceed the recommended range, the parameter values will be iteratively optimized and repeatedly adjusted until the recommended parameter values enter the tolerance range.
[0027] Another objective of this invention is to provide a system for desulfurization emission control, which automatically adjusts operating parameters through intelligent control algorithms to maximize equipment utilization and improve desulfurization efficiency. The intelligent control system can analyze and process real-time and historical data to find the optimal combination of operating parameters, reduce operating costs, and improve production efficiency.

Throughout the entire operation, the power consumption of one slurry circulation pump can be reduced on average. Based on a single 1400KW slurry circulation pump, this translates to a saving of 0.14% of the plant's power consumption rate.

[0046] Example 1
[0047] Reference Figure 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for controlling desulfurization emissions, comprising:
[0048] S1: Calculate the total sulfur content of the system by collecting parameter information;
[0049] It should be noted that the parameter information includes confirming the coal type for this shift based on the coal list on the coal fed into the furnace, and entering relevant parameters based on the coal feeding time. The relevant parameters include the power consumption of the slurry circulation pump, the desulfurization effect, and the sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace.
[0050] When the holographic recording of the coal entering the furnace is completed, the system compares the pre-set empirical parameters with the actual operating parameters to determine whether the slurry circulation pump combination is the optimal combination.
[0051] Furthermore, the total sulfur content entering the system is calculated based on the unit load and the sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace.
[0052] ,
[0053] in, The total sulfur content is w, and the unit load is w. denoted as , where is the sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace, and is the type of coal
[0054] S2: Calculate the amount of absorbent slurry sprayed based on the liquid-to-gas ratio;
[0055] It should be noted that the amount of absorbent slurry sprayed includes,
[0056] ,
[0057] in, The liquid-to-gas ratio, This refers to the amount of absorbent slurry sprayed.
[0058] Furthermore, the liquid-to-gas ratio is proportional to the desulfurization rate and has a value of 6.5~7.5 L / m3.
[0059] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the liquid-to-gas ratio is a crucial parameter for the design and operation of a spray system. This parameter significantly impacts the overall desulfurization efficiency and operating costs of the system. The figure below illustrates the effect of the liquid-to-gas ratio on the desulfurization effect. As the figure shows, with the increase of the liquid-to-gas ratio, the outlet SO2 concentration decreases, and the desulfurization efficiency increases accordingly. When the liquid-to-gas ratio increases from 4.0 L / m³ to 7.5 L / m³, the outlet SO2 concentration decreases from 439 × 10⁻⁶ mg / m³ to 89 × 10⁻⁶ mg / m³, a decrease of approximately 80%. Under the same nozzle atomization performance, within a certain range, a higher liquid-to-gas ratio results in a larger gas-liquid contact area, leading to greater absorption of gaseous components per unit time. However, when the liquid-to-gas ratio exceeds 7.0 L / m³, its effect on desulfurization efficiency becomes insignificant. This may be because after the slurry volume reaches a certain value, droplet coagulation intensifies, and the effective specific surface area no longer increases. Therefore, the liquid-to-gas ratio is directly proportional to the desulfurization efficiency and should ideally be between 6.5 and 7.5 L / m³.
[0060] S3: Recommendations are made based on the power arrangement of the slurry circulation pumps.
[0061] The recommendation based on the power arrangement of the slurry circulation pumps includes the following: In actual construction, when there are two slurry circulation pumps with different power ratings on site, if the flow coefficient corresponding to the high-power slurry circulation pump is greater than the flow coefficient per unit power corresponding to the low-power slurry circulation pump, and the flow rate required by the low-power slurry circulation pump to meet the total sulfur content is greater than or equal to the flow rate required by the high-power slurry circulation pump to meet the total sulfur content, then, since the flow coefficient per unit power gradually increases with the increase of pump power,
[0062] ,
[0063] in, This refers to the power of a low-power slurry circulation pump. The power of a high-power slurry circulation pump, The flow coefficient of a low-power slurry circulation pump. The flow coefficient of a high-power slurry circulation pump;
[0064] The optimal combination is a combination of one low-power slurry circulation pump and one high-power slurry circulation pump.
[0065] ,
[0066] Therefore, the optimal combination is to select two high-power slurry circulation pumps.
[0067] The determination of whether the slurry circulation pump combination is the optimal combination includes: if the deviation exceeds the preset tolerance range, the system will automatically issue an alarm. When the system issues an alarm, the system's built-in optimization algorithm calculates the parameters that can achieve the best desulfurization effect and energy consumption under the current conditions. On-site personnel can remove the alarm by adjusting the parameters. The system will continue to monitor the operating parameters. If the fluctuation is stable within the recommended value range, the system will operate normally. If the adjusted parameters exceed the recommended range, the parameter values will be repeatedly adjusted through iterative optimization until the recommended parameter values enter the tolerance range.
[0068] Example 2
[0069] As one embodiment of the present invention, a method for desulfurization emission control is provided. To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through experiments.
[0070] The approach to optimizing data acquisition for desulfurization slurry circulation pumps is as follows: Under different unit loads and sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace, by using different combinations of slurry circulation pumps (considering the output reduction of slurry circulation pumps after long-term operation, the flow uniformity of different pump combinations, and reasonable pH values, etc.), the total energy consumption of the slurry circulation pumps is minimized while ensuring that SO2 at the outlet of the absorption tower meets the ultra-clean emission requirements.
[0071] After the average sulfur content of the coal fed into the furnace is input, it is multiplied by the total coal quantity of the unit to obtain the total sulfur content (t / h). When the actual calculated sulfur content falls within a certain range, an alarm is issued to remind the operators to adjust the slurry circulation pump combination according to the recommended values.
[0072] After practical verification, the following problems were found: 1) Recently, an efficiency enhancer was added to the absorber, resulting in a change in desulfurization efficiency compared to the past. 2) After a long period of operation, cavitation wear of the absorber slurry circulation pumps altered the efficiency of each pump. 3) Recently, the desulfurization system has been affected by the performance of desulfurization wastewater discharge, resulting in a high chloride ion concentration, which also has a certain impact on the absorber efficiency. After correcting the above problems, Table 1 is the recommended table for sulfur content optimization at Plant S.

It also provides an alarm function to promptly notify operators in case of abnormal situations.
