Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic solid waste treatment, and particularly relates to a sludge hydrothermal carbonization treatment system applying waste heat steam. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology is generated on the basis of the high-pressure chemical theory proposed by Friedrich Bergius, a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1931. The method simulates the process of the generation of coal, petroleum and natural gas in nature, and reproduces the reaction process which takes millions of years in nature within a few hours under appropriate temperature, pressure and pH conditions. The HTC reaction is that organic materials (such as biological waste or sludge) are carbonized into HTC biochar within a few hours under the conditions of excluding air and adding catalysts, at a temperature of 180-200 DEG C and a pressure of 20-35 bar. The method is carried out in a water-containing environment, so it does not need to dry the input materials, and the method is particularly suitable for water-rich biological organic waste and sludge. After dehydration of the HTC product, the HTC biochar has a low water content, and due to its high calorific value, it can be used for climate-friendly power generation in coal-fired power plants, or as a substitute for fossil fuels in cement plants or waste incineration plants.

[0003] The sludge hydrothermal carbonization technology fully utilizes the hydrothermal reaction, and modifies and converts the sludge into biochar in a closed high-temperature and high-pressure environment, destroys extracellular polymers, and kills pathogenic bacteria and other microorganisms, thereby realizing the reduction, stabilization and harmless treatment of sludge at low cost and high efficiency. Since it is in a closed high-pressure environment, there is no water vaporization and excessive energy consumption, and compared with the thermal drying technology, the energy consumption is only 1 / 3, and the hydrothermal biochar retains the substances (organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus) and energy in the sludge as much as possible.

[0004] The industrialization of the hydrothermal carbonization system can adopt intermittent production or continuous production. The intermittent production is that the materials are sent into the reaction kettle in batches, heated in a closed environment, and the materials undergo the hydrothermal carbonization reaction under a fixed temperature and pressure, cooled after the reaction time, and the reaction product is discharged, and the next batch is processed, and the cycle is repeated. The continuous production is that the materials continuously enter the reaction system, stay in the reactor for a fixed time, and then continuously discharge. The intermittent production is generally only used for research and small-scale production application due to low efficiency, and is not suitable for industrial large-scale production; and the continuous production is suitable for industrial large-scale production application.

[0005] At present, the continuous production adopts indirect heating mode, that is, fuel is used to heat heat-conducting medium, and then the heat-conducting medium is used to heat sludge to realize hydrothermal carbonization reaction. The heat is exchanged from the heat-conducting medium to the sludge, the process is complex, multi-stage heat exchange, the heat exchange efficiency is low, the energy consumption is high, and the system operation energy consumption and cost are increased. Therefore, improving the heating efficiency of sludge hydrothermal carbonization and reducing the system operation energy consumption are the main problems to be solved in the research and promotion of the technology.

Steam enters the reaction tank through the steam pipeline, enters the hollow passage of the helical blades along the hollow passage of the stirring shaft, and then passes through the steam outlets on the surface of the stirring shaft and helical blades. The steam directly contacts the sludge under stirring and heats the sludge.

[0036] The sludge is heated to 90℃ in a preheating mixing tank and then pumped into the sludge hydrothermal carbonization reactor at a rate of 4.17 kg / h. The reaction temperature in the reactor is 180℃, the pressure is 1.1 MPa, and the material remains in the reactor for 3 hours. The steam temperature is 200℃, and the pressure is 1.5 MPa.

The sludge-to-steam ratio is 4.17 kg / h sludge, and the steam flow rate is 0.61 kg / h, meaning 100 kg of sludge for 14.65 kg of steam. The energy consumption for sludge hydrothermal carbonization is 0.41 MJ / kg.
