Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biomass carbonization and clean utilization of products, and in particular to an automatic coupling type integrated biomass carbon and steam cogeneration device. Background Art

[0002] Biomass is a renewable, zero-carbon energy source with abundant reserves in my country. However, due to its dispersed distribution and low energy density, most of it has not been effectively utilized.

[0003] Biomass pyrolysis charcoal production is one of the effective ways to realize its resource utilization. The gas phase products, liquid phase products and waste heat of product charcoal produced in the pyrolysis charcoal production process can be used as by-products of hot water or steam for heating or industrial production, so as to realize the high-value utilization of biomass. According to whether the pyrolysis heat is provided by the active combustion of biomass raw materials or by external heat sources, the biomass pyrolysis process is divided into two categories: self-heating pyrolysis system and external heating pyrolysis system. At present, mainstream technologies generally cannot quickly switch the pyrolysis system mode.

[0004] In order to improve the process of high-value utilization of biomass, in recent years, many scientific research teams have carried out a large number of technical research on biomass pyrolysis and charcoal-heat cogeneration. The technical route is mainly based on fluidized bed, vertical fixed bed or rotary kiln, and the subsequent equipment such as boilers used for waste heat recovery are arranged independently. The technical process is long, the intermediate energy consumption is high, and the synergy of charcoal and heat production capacity is poor. The core equipment in the existing technical route, fluidized bed, fixed bed or rotary kiln, is mainly suitable for small-sized biomass raw materials such as powder, granular and flake. It is poorly matched with large-sized biomass raw materials in the form of blocks or logs represented by fruit branches, and it is difficult to produce log-shaped biochar. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems that conventional biomass pyrolysis equipment cannot adapt to large-sized biomass raw materials, cannot produce log-like biochar, the equipment is independent, the technical route process is long, the coordination of charcoal and heat production is difficult, and the pyrolysis system mode is difficult to switch quickly, the present invention discloses an automatic coupling integrated biomass charcoal and steam cogeneration device.

[0006] The automatic coupling integrated biomass charcoal and steam cogeneration device of the present invention is composed of a material basket 1, a drying area 2, a carbonization area 3, a cooling area 4, a main combustion area 5, a breathable and thermal insulation device 6, a slide system 7, a boiler system 8, a coupling control system 9, and an induced draft system 10. The drying area 2, the carbonization area 3, the cooling area 4, the main combustion area 5, and the boiler system 8 are arranged adjacent to each other according to the raw material and product flow, and the main combustion area 5 is arranged adjacent to the drying area 2 and the boiler system 8 at the same time. The drying area 2, the carbonization area 3, and the cooling area 4 are connected through the slide system 7. The material basket 1 carries the biomass raw material and uses the slide system 7 to sequentially pass through the drying area 2, the carbonization area 3, and the cooling area 4 to complete the drying, pyrolysis, and cooling of the product charcoal of the biomass raw material, thereby producing qualified biochar. The biochar is not crushed or directly mechanically transported, and its appearance can remain in its original state. The gaseous and liquid products produced by the biomass raw materials carried by the material basket 1 in the carbonization zone 3 enter the main combustion zone 5 through the air-permeable insulation device 6 under the action of the induced draft system 10 to burn, and the chemical energy of the products is converted into thermal energy. Part of the thermal energy provides heat for the adjacent drying zone 2, and part enters the adjacent boiler system 8 to generate hot water, saturated steam or superheated steam for heating or industrial production. The coupling control system 9 calculates the production capacity of steam or hot water and the corresponding amount of biomass raw materials by monitoring the flow, temperature and pressure parameters of the steam or hot water produced by the boiler system 8, and then controls the slide system 7, the burners of the carbonization zone 3 and the main combustion zone 5 work together to adjust and maintain the temperature of the carbonization zone 3 and the main combustion zone 5.

[0007] The present invention is developed based on the goal of direct pyrolysis and high-value utilization of large-sized biomass raw materials, and is also suitable for small-sized biomass raw materials. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: Beneficial effects:

[0008] 1. The present invention integrates the drying, pyrolysis, product charcoal cooling, liquid and gas product combustion in the biomass pyrolysis and product utilization process, and the boiler system is integrated, highly integrated, with a short process flow and a simpler system.

[0009] 2. The integrated structure of the present invention eliminates the cooling process of gas and liquid products, and fully recovers the chemical heat of the carbonization process and the sensible heat of the product carbon, resulting in a higher comprehensive energy efficiency level.

[0010] 3. The present invention adopts a reasonable integrated structure and a material basket to load biomass raw materials. It is suitable for biomass raw materials of different sizes and shapes such as powder, granular, flake, block, log, etc. The product charcoal has no direct mechanical transportation, and the original shape of the product charcoal is maintained, filling the gap in the prior art.

[0011] 4. The present invention can easily switch the device to a self-heating or external heating pyrolysis system by changing the material basket structure to an open basket structure or a closed plate structure with air holes.

[0046] The heat released by the combustion of the gaseous and liquid products produced by the pyrolysis in the main combustion zone 5 enters the boiler system 8 arranged adjacent to the main combustion zone 5 in the form of hot flue gas to produce hot water, saturated steam or superheated steam for heating or industrial production.

[0047] The coupling control system 9 calculates the production capacity of steam or hot water and the required amount of biomass raw materials by monitoring the flow, temperature and pressure parameters of the steam or hot water produced by the boiler system 8, and then controls the slide system 7, the burners of the carbonization zone 3 and the main combustion zone 5 to work together to adjust and maintain the temperature of the carbonization zone 3 and the main combustion zone 5.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 :

[0049] The slide baffle 7B in the slide system 7 divides the interior of the drying zone 2, the carbonization zone 3 and the cooling zone 4 into a plurality of parallel channels, restricting the material basket 1 from lateral displacement across the parallel channels in the device, so as to maintain orderly movement of the material basket 1 in the device.

[0050] Combination Figure 5 :

[0052] When the boiler system 8 produces superheated steam, it is preferred Figure 5The steam-water flow: the boiler water enters the cooling zone shell 4A from the cooling water inlet 4D to recover the waste heat of the product char, and then enters the economizer heating surface 8C from the cooling water outlet 4E and the water supply pipe 8B, and then enters the drum 8E through the economizer outlet pipe 8D. The drum 8E is connected with the boiler evaporation heating surface 8G, the drying zone shell 2B, the carbonization zone shell 3A, the cooling zone shell 4A, the main combustion zone shell 5A, and the slide 7A through the main steam-water pipe system 8F. The heating surface of the drying zone shell 2B releases heat to the biomass raw material, and the heat of the water or steam-water mixture in the drum 8E is used to dry the biomass raw material; the saturated steam generated by the carbonization zone shell 3A, the cooling zone shell 4A, the main combustion zone shell 5A, and the slide 7A after absorbing heat is collected in the drum 8E, and the saturated steam enters the superheater 8J through the superheater connecting pipe 8H for secondary heating, and then leaves the system through the steam outlet 8K for use by the external system. When the boiler system 8 produces hot water, there is no need to configure the superheater connecting pipe 8H and the superheater 8J, and the steam outlet 8K is changed to a hot water outlet and connected to the boiler drum 8E; when the boiler system 8 produces saturated steam, there is no need to configure the superheater connecting pipe 8H and the superheater 8J, and the steam outlet 8K is connected to the boiler drum 8E.
