Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of converter flue gas recovery, and in particular relates to a converter flue gas full-dry method full-energy recovery system. Background Art

[0002] The converter is an important part of the steel production process, and a large amount of waste heat is generated during the production process. In the pre-burning / post-burning section of the converter, the gas composition will have a CO concentration of <35% and an O2 concentration of >2%, which poses a risk of explosion.

[0003] At present, the wet method (OG method) and dry method (LT method) process systems are generally used for cooling and dust removal of converter gas at home and abroad. Their common characteristics are: using vaporization cooling flue (converter waste heat boiler) to recover the sensible heat of converter high temperature (initial temperature is about 1500℃) gas, and using water spraying / water mist spraying to cool and remove dust for gas cooled to about 850℃ to reduce the risk of explosion. 50% of the sensible heat of converter gas is wasted. The recovery of waste energy and waste heat of converter gas can greatly reduce the energy consumption of converter steelmaking process, but the medium and low temperature (<850℃) waste heat of converter gas has not yet been recovered and utilized.

[0004] Instructions attached Figure 2 This is the converter flue gas treatment process in the prior art: the furnace gas generated by the converter is mixed with a small amount of air leaked from the surrounding area and flows through the vaporized water-cooled flue gas, the temperature of which drops from 1500°C to ~850°C, and then enters the evaporative cooler to be cooled to about 200°C by steam / water, then enters the electrostatic precipitator, and is then led out through the fan. Because the CO content of the converter is less than 30% and the oxygen content is greater than 2% during the pre-burning and post-burning stages, there is an explosion risk or the calorific value is too low to be used, and the recycling conditions are not met, so a release treatment is required. A gas switching station is set up behind the fan. When the gas quality meets the recycling conditions, it is sent to the gas cooling tower to be cooled to below 70°C and sent to the converter gas cabinet for recycling. When the gas quality does not meet the recycling conditions, it is sent to the release torch for combustion treatment. The disadvantages of the above scheme are: 1. Evaporative coolers and gas cooling towers consume water and steam, which easily lead to waste of resources; 2. When the CO / O2 content of the gas reaches the recovery standard and there is no explosion risk, it is still cooled by the evaporative cooler, resulting in waste of sensible heat; 3. The thermal energy of the released gas is not utilized.

[0005] Therefore, this scheme provides a converter flue gas full dry method full energy recovery system for improving the utilization rate of converter gas waste heat. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the problems raised by the above background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a converter flue gas full dry method full energy recovery system for improving the utilization rate of converter gas waste heat.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A converter flue gas full dry method full energy recovery system, comprising a converter and a vaporization cooling flue, wherein the converter is connected to the vaporization cooling flue pipeline, and further comprising a high-temperature coal gas switching station, a dust collector, a waste heat boiler, a fan, a coal gas super-temperature cooling tower, a converter gas holder, a catalytic reactor, a dissipation waste heat boiler, a dissipation fan and a chimney, wherein the high-temperature coal gas switching station is divided into two bypasses, namely a recovery bypass and a dissipation bypass, wherein the recovery bypass and the dissipation bypass of the high-temperature coal gas switching station are respectively connected to the vaporization cooling flue pipeline The discharge bypass of the high-temperature coal gas switching station is connected to the catalytic reactor pipeline, the catalytic reactor is connected to the discharge waste heat boiler pipeline, the discharge waste heat boiler is connected to the discharge fan pipeline, the discharge fan is connected to the chimney pipeline, the recovery bypass of the high-temperature coal gas switching station is connected to the dust collector pipeline, the dust collector is connected to the waste heat boiler pipeline, the waste heat boiler is connected to the fan pipeline, the fan is connected to the coal gas over-temperature cooling tower pipeline, and the coal gas over-temperature cooling tower is connected to the converter gas holder pipeline.

[0009] It is further defined that the high temperature switching station can switch to a recovery bypass or a release bypass, and the switching condition is that when the CO and O2 contents meet the standards, it switches to the recovery bypass, and when the CO and O2 contents do not meet the standards, it switches to the release bypass.

[0010] It is further defined that the dust collector can be a ceramic particle dust collector or a ceramic fiber dust collector. Such a structural design makes the dust removal effect the best. The ceramic particle dust collector mainly uses ceramic particles as the filter medium to capture the dust through the gaps between the particles. This dust collector may belong to the category of granular bed filters, whose filter medium is composed of solid particles and has the characteristics of continuous operation and resistance to flow fluctuations; the ceramic fiber dust collector is a device that uses ceramic fiber filter materials to purify the gas. Ceramic fiber has excellent properties such as high temperature stability, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength. Therefore, it can effectively remove dust particles and tiny particles to meet environmental protection requirements; in addition to the aforementioned two types of dust collectors, other high temperature resistant dust collectors can also be selected according to user needs.

[0011] It is further defined that the waste heat boiler is provided with an economizer, and the economizer is used to reduce the flue gas temperature. Such a structural design can reduce the flue gas temperature to 70°C, avoiding the situation where the flue gas temperature is too high.

[0012] It is further defined that a water spray system is provided in the coal gas over-temperature cooling tower, and the water spray system is used to spray water to cool the waste heat boiler outlet when the outlet is over-temperature. Such a structural design can spray water through the water spray system when the outlet of the waste heat boiler is over-temperature, and cool its temperature to below 70°C.

[0013] It is further defined that the catalytic reactor is provided with a wide temperature catalyst, and the wide temperature catalyst is used for catalyzing and oxidizing CO within a temperature range of 300 to 800°C.

[0014] It is further defined that it also includes an explosion relief valve, one end of the third bypass pipeline is connected between the explosion relief valve and the catalytic reactor, and the other end of the third bypass is connected to the rear end of the exhaust fan. With such a structural design, the working principle of the explosion relief valve is based on the rupture of the bursting membrane to release pressure. When the internal pressure of the equipment rises to the set bursting pressure, the bursting membrane will rupture in time, and the valve cover will pop up, thereby quickly releasing the pressure. This process is automatic and does not require external power, so it can respond quickly and prevent the equipment from exploding.

[0015] It is further defined that it also includes a return air fan, a supplementary air regulating valve and a smoke return air regulating valve which are sequentially arranged on the third bypass.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] 1. This solution provides a full-dry full-energy recovery system for converter flue gas. By setting up a high-temperature gas switching station and a waste heat boiler, such a setting can determine the diversion of gas in advance so that it does not have the risk of explosion. At the same time, the sensible heat of 70-850℃ generated in the gas recovery stage is utilized, thereby improving the utilization rate of converter gas waste heat;

[0018] 2. By setting up a high-temperature gas switching station, a catalytic reactor and a waste heat dissipation boiler, during the dissipation, the flue gas is mixed to reduce the CO concentration, and the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of CO is beneficial to reduce the CO concentration during the dissipation and reduce the risk of explosion. At the same time, the sensible heat and chemical heat of the gas generated in the dissipation stage are recycled, thereby improving the utilization rate of the converter gas waste heat;

[0019] 3. By setting up waste heat boilers and waste heat dissipation boilers to recover the gas and the heat during the dissipation, and also recover the low-grade heat source of the flue gas, no water is sprayed in the flue gas during the whole process or the water spraying is reduced. By setting up economizers instead of spraying steam / water for cooling, the use of water resources is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Preferably, an economizer is provided in the waste heat boiler 5, and the economizer is used to reduce the flue gas temperature. Such a structural design can reduce the flue gas temperature to 70°C, avoiding the situation where the flue gas temperature is too high.

By adjusting the flue gas return air regulating valve 14 and the air supply regulating valve 15, and after being pressurized by the return air fan 16, the catalytic reactor 10 is provided with oxygen required for oxidation, and the CO concentration is diluted to outside the explosion range. The CO in the flue gas is catalytically burned in the catalytic reactor 10, the flue gas is heated, and the heat is recovered by the waste heat boiler 11 and then sent to the chimney 13 for discharge.

[0038] This solution sets a high-temperature gas switching station 3 to determine the concentration of CO and oxygen in advance, thereby diverting the gas to prevent explosion hazards; a waste heat boiler 5 is set to utilize the sensible heat of 70-850°C generated in the gas recovery stage, thereby improving the utilization rate of the converter gas waste heat;

[0039] By setting up the high-temperature coal gas switching station 3, the catalytic reactor 10 and the waste heat dissipation boiler 11, during the dissipation, the flue gas is mixed to reduce the CO concentration, and the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of CO is beneficial to reduce the CO concentration during the dissipation and reduce the risk of explosion. At the same time, the sensible heat and chemical heat of the coal gas generated in the dissipation stage are recycled, thereby improving the utilization rate of the waste heat of the converter coal gas;

[0040] By setting up a waste heat boiler 5 and a waste heat dissipation boiler 11, the coal gas and the heat during the dissipation are recovered, and the low-grade heat source of the flue gas is also recovered. No water is sprayed into the flue gas or the water spraying is reduced during the whole process. By setting up an economizer instead of spraying steam / water for cooling, the use of water resources is reduced.
