Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sludge drying and energy storage, and in particular to an integrated device for sludge disposal and energy storage and an operating method. Background Art

[0002] Existing sludge treatment processes still suffer from incomplete concentration, resulting in a high water content. Directly piling this sludge can lead to water migration or seepage, potentially polluting groundwater. Furthermore, the sludge naturally ferments and produces flammable gases, potentially contaminating the ozone layer and potentially causing explosions. Furthermore, existing sludge drying processes consume significant energy, leading to high sludge treatment costs. While some technologies are currently available to generate electricity from the heat generated during sludge treatment, this heat is low-quality, and the cost of generating electricity from the remaining heat is high.

[0003] Although CN203440222U, CN103011545B, and CN203474614U disclose a two-stage sludge drying and energy recovery system, in which the exhaust port of the sludge storage chamber is connected to the deodorization reactor via a fan, the sludge outlet of the sludge storage chamber is connected to the sludge inlet of the dryer via a sludge pump, the sludge outlet of the dryer is provided with a sludge forming machine, and the sludge discharge port of the sludge forming machine is provided with a belt dryer. This energy recovery system is mainly used to recycle the steam heat generated during the drying process, but its utilization rate is limited. Moreover, it uses an indirect drying method, which has low drying efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0004] CN114542221A discloses using a sludge drying process to store excess energy from thermal power plants to achieve peak load regulation in power plants. This method primarily utilizes thermal energy from the thermal power plants to achieve sludge drying, but this system requires specific operating environments and is not very flexible.

[0005] CN107640875A relates to an energy recovery sludge drying and incineration system, which can solve the problems of high energy consumption, high operating costs and secondary heavy metal pollution during sludge incineration.

[0019] The upper part of the sludge pyrolysis furnace is connected to the lower part of the sludge pyrolysis furnace through a hot air circulation power fan and a hot air circulation radiation furnace.

[0020] A method for operating an integrated device for sludge disposal and energy storage, the method being implemented using the integrated device, the method specifically comprising:

[0021] Mode 1, sludge drying and energy storage process:

[0022] Mainly used for sludge drying and storing energy in the sludge drying process;

[0023] Mode 2, energy release process:

[0024] Used to release the energy stored in mode 1.

[0025] The sludge drying and energy storage process is specifically as follows:

[0026] The sludge is concentrated in the sludge sedimentation tank and the sludge secondary sedimentation tank to reduce the water content to 96%. Then, it is concentrated in the centrifugal concentrator to reduce the water content to below 35% before entering the sludge drying furnace.

[0027] A low-temperature medium of 90-120°C is used to continuously heat the sludge drying furnace. The driving heat source is provided by a high-temperature heat pump and a medium- and low-temperature material storage tank. When the sludge drying and energy storage processes are in continuous operation, the heat source of the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank is mainly used. When the sludge drying and energy storage processes are discontinuous, the high-temperature heat pump is used as an auxiliary. The gas and steam mixture generated by the temperature rise in the sludge drying furnace is condensed and cooled and depressurized through a steam condenser and discharged to a sludge sedimentation tank. The cold source of the steam condenser comes from the discharge water in the sewage treatment plant. The cold water source enters and exits through the cooling water inlet C and the cooling water outlet D of the steam condenser. When there is too much non-condensable gas in the sludge drying furnace, the steam condensation induced draft fan is started to assist in the discharge of the non-condensable gas. After the sludge is dried to less than 30% in the sludge drying furnace, the sludge is sent to the sludge pyrolysis furnace.

[0028] The sludge pyrolysis furnace is divided into three heating zones from bottom to top. The bottom is the pyrolysis and gasification zone with a working temperature of 500-800℃, the middle is the distillation zone with a working temperature mainly controlled at 200-500℃, and the upper part is the preheating zone with a working temperature of 60-200℃. The pyrolysis and gasification zone is mainly heated by hot air with a temperature not lower than 1100℃. The circulating heating mode is adopted. The mixed gas in the upper part of the furnace is pressurized by the hot air circulation power fan and then enters the hot air circulation radiation furnace for secondary cracking. After sufficient reaction, the cracking gas is sucked into the primary dust removal tank, and then the solid part of the dust is sent to the The high-temperature material storage tank is then sent from the high-temperature material storage tank to the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank. The gas is dusted again by the pyrolysis gas bag dust collector and then pressurized by the pyrolysis gas booster and then heated to the normal temperature section in the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank for natural cooling. On the other hand, the crystallized solid material is fed into the sludge heat recovery tank by the screw feeder located at the bottom of the sludge pyrolysis furnace. The sludge heat recovery tank enters the high-temperature material storage tank after heat recovery. This part of the heat is heated in the energy release process and then enters the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank. The heat stored in the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank is used for the sludge drying and energy storage process to complete the sludge drying and energy storage process.

[0029] The energy release process is specifically as follows:

[0030] Among them, connection port A1 is connected to connection port A2, and connection port B1 is connected to connection port B2. On the one hand, the cold air recovers the heat from the exhaust gas of the gas turbine in the air preheating heat exchanger, and then is pressurized by the variable frequency air compressor and enters the air heater for reheating before entering the gas turbine. On the other hand, the high-pressure pyrolysis gas starts from the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank and enters the gas turbine through the flow control of the pyrolysis gas control valve, and is mixed with the high-temperature and high-pressure air entering at the same time. After ignition, it drives the gas turbine to generate electricity, and then enters the exhaust gas electrostatic dust removal for further purification, enters the air preheating heat exchanger to transfer heat to the cold air and then is discharged, completing the energy release process.

[0031] The heat source of the air heater comes from the high-temperature material storage tank, and the heating process can be bypassed by jointly controlling the first air heater bypass three-way valve and the second air heater bypass three-way valve.

[0032] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. The present invention sets up a heat recovery device in each available link, and uses medium and low temperature heat for the energy storage and drying process, reducing energy input and improving energy utilization efficiency. In addition, a high-temperature heat storage tank is specially set up to use the solidified sludge particles as a heat storage medium for use during energy release.

[0034] 2. During the energy release process, the present invention recycles high-quality heat energy to preheat the gas before the gas turbine generates electricity, thereby increasing the enthalpy of the main gas of the gas turbine and further improving the energy release and power generation efficiency of the gas turbine.

[0035] 3. The present invention couples sludge drying with user-side energy storage, regards the sludge drying process as energy storage, and releases the recovered energy in the energy release process.

[0036] 4. The present invention adds a high-temperature vaporization furnace at the back end of the traditional sludge drying process to perform high-temperature pyrolysis on the pre-dried sludge. The outlet temperature of the pyrolysis furnace is higher than 950°C. This high-temperature pyrolysis furnace adopts closed hot air circulation heating. The use of hot air heating can ensure uniform heating of the sludge during the pyrolysis process, and the high temperature above 950°C avoids the formation of dioxins.

In addition, a high-temperature heat storage tank is specially set up to use the solidified sludge particles as a heat storage medium for use in energy release.

[0057] Furthermore, the top of the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank 6 is connected to the gas turbine 14 through the pyrolysis gas control valve 33, the gas turbine 14 is connected to the air preheating heat exchanger 24 through the exhaust gas electrostatic dust collector 23, and the air preheating heat exchanger 24 is connected to the inlet of the gas turbine 14 through the variable frequency air compressor 11, the first air heater bypass three-way valve 30 and the second air heater bypass three-way valve 31; the first air heater bypass three-way valve 30 is provided with a connection port A1, and the second air heater bypass three-way valve 31 is provided with a connection port B1. The gas turbine 14 can be used to generate electricity. The cold air recovers the heat from the exhaust gas of the combustion engine in the air preheating heat exchanger 24, and then is pressurized by the variable frequency air compressor 11 and enters the air heater 20 for reheating before entering the gas turbine 14. On the other hand, the high-pressure pyrolysis gas starts from the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank 6 and enters the gas turbine 14 through the pyrolysis gas control valve 33 under flow control, and is mixed with the high-temperature and high-pressure air entering at the same time. After ignition, it drives the gas turbine 14 to generate electricity, and then enters the exhaust gas electrostatic precipitator 23 for further purification, and then enters the air preheating heat exchanger 24 to transfer heat to the cold air and then be discharged, completing the energy release process.

[0058] During the sludge drying process, the sludge is concentrated in the sludge sedimentation tank 1 and the sludge secondary sedimentation tank 2 to reduce the water content to 96%, and then passes through the centrifugal concentrator 32 to reduce the water content of the sludge to below 35%, and then enters the sludge drying furnace 4.

[0059] For further information, see Figure 2The top of the sludge drying furnace 4 is connected to a steam condenser 25 via a first steam condenser draft bypass three-way valve 28 and a second steam condenser draft bypass three-way valve 29. The steam condenser 25 is connected to the sludge settling tank 1. A steam condenser draft fan 15 is installed between the first steam condenser draft bypass three-way valve 28 and the second steam condenser draft bypass three-way valve 29. The steam condenser 25 is provided with a cooling water inlet C and a cooling water outlet D. Since a gas-vapor mixture is generated during the sludge drying process and requires treatment, the gas-vapor mixture generated by the temperature rise in the sludge drying furnace 4 is condensed, cooled, and pressured by the steam condenser 25 and discharged into the sludge settling tank 1. The steam condenser 25's cooling source is derived from the sewage treatment plant's discharge water.

When the sludge drying and energy storage processes are in continuous operation, the heat source of the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank 10 is mainly used. When the sludge drying and energy storage processes are discontinuous, the high-temperature heat pump 3 is used as an auxiliary. The gas and steam mixture generated by the temperature rise in the sludge drying furnace 4 is condensed and cooled and reduced in pressure through the steam condenser 25 and discharged to the sludge sedimentation tank 1. The cold source of the steam condenser 25 comes from the discharge water in the sewage treatment plant. The cold water source enters and exits through the cooling water inlet C and the cooling water outlet D of the steam condenser 25. When there is too much non-condensable gas in the sludge drying furnace 4, the steam condensation induced draft fan 15 is started to assist in the discharge of the non-condensable gas. After the sludge in the sludge drying furnace 4 is dried to less than 30%, the sludge is sent to the sludge pyrolysis furnace 5;

[0083] The sludge pyrolysis furnace 5 is divided into three heating zones from bottom to top. The bottom is the pyrolysis and gasification zone with an operating temperature of 500-800°C, the middle is the dry distillation zone with an operating temperature mainly controlled at 200-500°C, and the upper part is the preheating zone with an operating temperature of 60-200°C. The pyrolysis and gasification zone is mainly heated by hot air with a temperature not lower than 1100°C. The circulating heating mode is adopted. The mixed gas at the top of the furnace is pressurized by the hot air circulation power fan 12 and then enters the hot air circulation radiation furnace 21 for secondary cracking. After sufficient reaction, the cracked gas is sucked into the primary dust removal tank 8, and then the solid part of the dust is sent to the high temperature material storage tank. The gas is sent from the high-temperature material storage tank 9 to the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank 10. The gas is dusted again by the pyrolysis gas bag dust collector 22 and then pressurized by the pyrolysis gas booster 13 and then brought to the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank 6 for heat recovery to the normal temperature section for natural cooling. On the other hand, the crystallized solid material is sent to the sludge heat recovery tank 7 by the screw feeder located at the bottom of the sludge pyrolysis furnace 5. The sludge heat recovery tank 7 enters the high-temperature material storage tank 9 after heat recovery. This part of the heat is heated in the energy release process and enters the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank 10. The heat stored in the medium- and low-temperature material storage tank 10 is used for the sludge drying and energy storage process, thereby completing the sludge drying and energy storage process.

[0084] Example 4:

[0085] The energy release process is specifically as follows:

[0086] Among them, the connection port A1 is connected to the connection port A2, and the connection port B1 is connected to the connection port B2. On the one hand, the cold air recovers the heat from the exhaust gas of the combustion engine in the air preheating heat exchanger 24, and then is pressurized by the variable frequency air compressor 11 and enters the air heater 20 for reheating before entering the gas turbine 14. On the other hand, the high-pressure pyrolysis gas starts from the pressurized pyrolysis gas storage tank 6 and enters the gas turbine 14 through the pyrolysis gas control valve 33 under flow control, and is mixed with the high-temperature and high-pressure air entering at the same time. After ignition, it drives the gas turbine 14 to generate electricity, and then enters the exhaust gas electrostatic dust collector 23 for further purification, and then enters the air preheating heat exchanger 24 to transfer heat to the cold air before being discharged, completing the energy release process.

[0087] Furthermore, the heat source of the air heater 20 comes from the high-temperature material storage tank 9, and the heating process can be bypassed by jointly controlling the first air heater bypass three-way valve 30 and the second air heater bypass three-way valve 31.

[0088] In summary, the present invention adds a high-temperature gasification furnace at the back end of the traditional sludge drying process to perform high-temperature pyrolysis on the pre-dried sludge. The outlet temperature of the dry material of the pyrolysis furnace is higher than 950°C. This high-temperature pyrolysis furnace adopts closed hot air circulation heating. The use of hot air heating can ensure uniform heating of the sludge during the pyrolysis process, and the high temperature above 950°C avoids the formation of dioxins.

[0089] In order to further improve the system's thermal energy utilization efficiency, the present invention sets up a heat recovery device in each available link, and uses medium and low-temperature heat for the energy storage and drying process, reducing energy input and improving energy utilization efficiency. In addition, a high-temperature heat storage tank is specially set up to use the solidified sludge particles as a heat storage medium for use during energy release.

[0090] During the energy release process, this solution recycles high-quality heat energy to preheat the gas before the gas turbine generates electricity, thereby increasing the enthalpy of the main gas of the gas turbine and further improving the energy release and power generation efficiency of the gas turbine.
