[0056] Example 2

[0057] On the basis of Example 1, the working method of the nuclear power plant radioactive waste gas catalytic oxidation hydrogen removal device with controllable gas concentration is as follows:

[0058] The radioactive waste gas hydrogen removal device will discharge tail gas. To maintain the stability of the system pressure, nitrogen will be supplemented to make up for the discharged tail gas. The hydrogen-oxygen recombination reaction will consume oxygen, and the oxygen consumption is related to the hydrogen content in the waste gas. Oxygen will be supplemented to maintain the stability of the oxygen concentration in the system. There are fluctuations in the hydrogen and nitrogen contents in the waste gas components:

[0059] When the oxygen concentration in the oxygen supplement system is within the set range, the central control system interlocks and controls the regulating valve 10 and the flow measurement display and control device in the oxygen supplement system, and controls the oxygen flow supplied by the oxygen cylinder in the oxygen supplement system within the set value; when the oxygen concentration in the oxygen supplement system exceeds the set range, the ball valve 11 and the regulating valve 10 in the oxygen supplement system are interlocked and controlled by the central control system to control the oxygen concentration in the whole device within the set value;

[0060] When the nitrogen concentration in the nitrogen supplement system is within the set range, the central control system interlocks and controls the regulating valve 10 and the flow measurement display and control device in the nitrogen supplement system, and controls the oxygen flow supplied by the oxygen cylinder in the nitrogen supplement system within the set value; when the nitrogen concentration in the nitrogen supplement system exceeds the set range and exceeds the tail gas emission amount, the system pressure will increase. When the nitrogen concentration reaches the upper limit value, the ball valve 11 and the regulating valve 10 in the nitrogen supplement system are interlocked and controlled by the central control system to reduce or even close the opening of the regulating valve 10 and control the nitrogen concentration in the whole device within the set value;

[0061] The central control obtains the hydrogen content at different positions on the gas pipeline after the pipeline mixer 1, and controls the hydrogen concentration in the whole device to be lower than the set value by regulating the intake amounts of the oxygen supplement system, the nitrogen supplement system and the hydrogen-containing waste gas intake system.

[0062] Set the oxygen concentration control range to 2.5 - 3.0%, and set the oxygen input flow rate to 1.0 Nm 3 / h. When the system starts running, the flow indicator 12 shows that the oxygen concentration is 2.6%, and at this time the oxygen input flow rate is 1.0 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the oxygen supply system is 30%; the flow indicator 12 shows that the oxygen concentration is 2.3%, and at this time the oxygen input flow rate is 1.5 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the oxygen supply system is 46%; the flow indicator 12 shows that the oxygen concentration is 3.2%, and at this time the oxygen input flow rate is 0.7 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the oxygen supply system is 24%.

[0063] Nitrogen input control: Set the pressure of the gas buffer tank 2 to 5.0 - 6.0 Kpa, and set the nitrogen input flow rate to 1.0 Nm 3 / h. When the system starts running, the pressure value of the gas buffer tank 2 shows 5.2 Kpa, and at this time the actual nitrogen input flow rate is 1.0 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the nitrogen supply system is 35%; the pressure value of the gas buffer tank 2 shows 6.2 Kpa, and at this time the actual nitrogen input flow rate is 0.7 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the nitrogen supply system is 28%; the pressure value of the gas buffer tank 2 shows 4.8 Kpa, and at this time the actual nitrogen input flow rate is 1.3 Nm 3 / h, and the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the nitrogen supply system is 39%.

[0064] Exhaust gas input control: Set the upper limit value of the pressure of the gas buffer tank 2 to 7.5 Kpa, and set the upper limit value of the hydrogen concentration to 3.5%. When the system starts running, the exhaust gas input flow rate is 2.5 Nm 3 / h, the reading of the flow transmitter 13 in the hydrogen-containing exhaust gas inlet system is 1.8%. The moment the pressure of the gas buffer tank 2 reaches 7.5 Kpa, the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the hydrogen-containing exhaust gas inlet system drops directly from 30% to 0%. The moment the pressure drops from 7.5 Kpa to 5.0 Kpa, the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the hydrogen-containing exhaust gas inlet system rises from 0% to 30%, and the flow value of the flow transmitter 13 in the hydrogen-containing exhaust gas inlet system rises from 0 to 2.5 Nm 3 / h; when the system starts running, the exhaust gas input flow rate is 5.0 Nm 3 / h, when the pressure display of the gas buffer tank 2 is 6.0 Kpa and the reading of the flow transmitter 13 in the hydrogen-containing waste gas inlet system reaches 3.5% instantaneously, the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the hydrogen-containing waste gas inlet system drops directly from 60% to 0%, and the pressure drops from 6.0 Kpa to 5.0 Kpa. When the reading of the flow transmitter 13 in the hydrogen-containing waste gas inlet system gradually drops to 2.0% instantaneously, the opening of the regulating valve 10 in the hydrogen-containing waste gas inlet system gradually rises from 0% to 60%, and the flow value of the flow transmitter 13 in the hydrogen-containing waste gas inlet system rises from 0 to 5 Nm 3 / h.
