Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste incinerators, and in particular to a combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing device and method for a chain-type waste incinerator. Background Art

[0002] Reasonable control of the combustion temperature of the chain-type waste incinerator is the basis for the safe operation, cleanliness and efficiency of the boiler. At present, the classification and treatment of domestic municipal solid waste in China is poor, the waste components are many, the water content is high, the calorific value is generally low, and the waste composition fluctuates greatly with the seasons, which brings a series of problems to the operation of the waste incinerator: unstable combustion, low combustion efficiency, high residual carbon content, and large fluctuations in steam load. Improving the waste combustion conditions, improving combustion efficiency, and stabilizing the steam load have become important tasks of the incineration plant. Due to the characteristics of municipal solid waste itself, it is not feasible to adjust the fuel itself. Moreover, after the waste incinerator is put into operation, it is not easy to transform the furnace arch. The feasible solution is to respond quickly to the combustion process of the waste, and adjust the parameters such as the grate propulsion speed and air volume in time to achieve optimized combustion control of the waste incinerator.

[0003] The combustion zone above the grate is the energy source of the entire waste incinerator. The temperature of the combustion zone needs to be monitored online as a real-time signal for combustion optimization control. In the past, the methods commonly used to measure the temperature of the combustion zone include smoke temperature probes, acoustic temperature measurement, infrared temperature measurement, etc. The smoke temperature probes are limited by their temperature resistance and cannot be monitored online for a long time. In addition, the grate area of ​​the waste incinerator is relatively large, and it is difficult for the smoke temperature probes to fully detect the combustion temperature above the grate; acoustic temperature measurement depends on the gas medium and can be used to measure the temperature of a certain cross section of the furnace. It has limited effect on the complex gas-solid mixed combustion zone near the grate; the accuracy of infrared temperature measurement depends on the accuracy of the emissivity setting of the measured object. Municipal solid waste will Thermal radiation is generated. The near-infrared and infrared bands include radiation from solid particles and triatomic gases such as CO2 and H2O. The gas radiation spectrum is a discontinuous spectrum line, and the radiation characteristics are extremely complex. It is difficult to estimate the spectral emissivity in this band, which brings difficulties to infrared temperature measurement in the combustion area. In addition, the source of thermal radiation from municipal solid waste in the visible light band during the combustion process is mainly radiation from solid particles such as soot and fly ash. The radiation spectrum is a continuous spectrum, and the radiation characteristics are relatively simple, which is convenient for temperature measurement based on light. In addition, although modern waste incineration plants have adopted DCS control systems, they are often mainly adjusted manually, and the combustion control technology is crude compared to that of power plant pulverized coal boilers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent sootblowing equipment and method to solve the problems of unstable combustion, low efficiency and large steam load fluctuations in waste incinerators due to the characteristics of waste and the limitations of traditional temperature measurement methods.

[0005] Based on the above objectives, the present invention provides a chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent sootblowing device, comprising a boiler and a combustion zone located inside the boiler, ash is provided at the bottom of the combustion zone, and a superheater is further provided inside the boiler;

The industrial computer is coupled to an external power plant DCS control system and adjusts the boiler's primary air volume, chain speed, and combustion status through real-time analysis of temperature field data.

[0007] A steam soot blower is installed in the tail flue of the boiler and is used to remove dust from the heating surface. The steam soot blower communicates wirelessly with the industrial computer and judges and triggers the soot blowing operation based on the combustion zone temperature field data and the exhaust gas temperature.

[0008] Preferably, a cooling air interface is fixedly installed on the upper end of the image detector, and the cooling air interface is used to introduce compressed air to cool the image detector.

[0010] Preferably, the industrial computer (4) is used to calculate the average temperature in the combustion zone (6), and when the temperature of one area in the combustion zone (6) is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature range, the primary air volume of the corresponding combustion zone (6) is increased through the power plant DCS control system, and the chain speed is adjusted to optimize combustion.

[0011] Preferably, the startup conditions of the steam soot blower include the exhaust temperature exceeding the sum of the ideal exhaust temperature and the set margin temperature, and the soot blowing operation sequence and intensity of the steam soot blower are optimized and calculated by the industrial computer based on historical temperature data, combustion zone temperature field data and exhaust temperature.

[0012] Preferably, the image detector collects visible light images through the continuous spectral radiation characteristics of soot and fly ash, and generates the combustion zone temperature field through industrial computer processing.

[0013] Preferably, the image detector is connected to a network switch via a POE interface, and the POE interface provides power supply and data transmission functions for the image detector.

[0014] Preferably, the operation trigger of the steam soot blower is determined by an industrial computer analyzing real-time combustion zone temperature field data and exhaust temperature data. If the exhaust temperature does not reach the ideal exhaust temperature, the soot blowing operation is automatically delayed to reduce overblowing.

[0015] Preferably, the network switch supports a redundant communication protocol to establish multi-path communication between the image detector and the industrial computer.

[0016] This application also discloses a chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing method, which is applied to the above-mentioned chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing equipment, including the following steps:

[0017] S1: The image detector collects visible light images of the combustion area through the continuous spectral radiation characteristics of soot and fly ash, and monitors the flame temperature field in the combustion area in real time. The image data is transmitted to the network switch via a gigabit network cable.

[0018] S2: The network switch supplies power to the image detector through the POE interface and transmits the collected image data to the industrial computer. It uses redundant communication protocols to establish multi-path communication to ensure data transmission stability and continuity.

[0019] S3: After receiving the image data collected by the image detector, the industrial computer generates the temperature distribution of the combustion area through the temperature field processing algorithm, and displays the high temperature area, low temperature area and temperature curve change information in real time;

[0020] S4: The online detection system divides the combustion area into multiple temperature zones, each corresponding to an independent primary fan and chain grate. The industrial computer calculates the average temperature field of each zone. If the average temperature of a certain zone is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature range Tint, combustion optimization control is initiated.

[0021] S5: Based on the real-time temperature data of each zone in the combustion area, the industrial computer adjusts the primary fan air volume and the chain grate moving speed of the corresponding zone through the DCS control system; when the number of low-temperature zones is less than half, the primary air volume of the low-temperature zones is appropriately increased; if the number of low-temperature zones is more than half, the grate moving speed is simultaneously reduced and the air volume is appropriately increased;

[0022] S6: During the combustion optimization process, the industrial computer records the grate speed, zone air volume, and temperature field data, and creates big data for iteration of the optimization algorithm to improve combustion efficiency and heat utilization.

[0023] S7: When the real-time exhaust gas temperature Tgas exceeds the sum of the ideal exhaust gas temperature T and the set margin temperature Tm, the industrial computer starts the steam soot blower; the soot blowing sequence and intensity are optimized and calculated based on the combustion zone temperature field data, historical temperature data and exhaust gas temperature to ensure uniform soot removal on the heated area.

[0024] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0025] 1. This chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing equipment and method is equipped with an online detection system. The online detection system collects the temperature field data of the combustion zone in real time through several image detectors, divides the combustion zone into multiple independent partitions, and realizes accurate monitoring and optimization adjustment according to the temperature field data of the partitions. The system uses a network switch to transmit data to the industrial computer through a gigabit network cable. The industrial computer is coupled with the power plant DCS control system, which can analyze the temperature status of each partition in real time and dynamically adjust the operating parameters. When the partition temperature is lower than the set lower limit, the system adjusts the air volume by controlling the primary fan to ensure that the combustion state is restored to the ideal state. If the temperature in a large area is low, the chain grate speed will be automatically reduced to extend the combustion time, and the air volume will be appropriately increased to optimize the combustion efficiency. The temperature data of the online detection system is also combined with the historical operation records to establish a big data model to provide support for the optimization of the primary air volume and the chain grate speed. The image detector is equipped with a cooling air interface to prevent dust accumulation from affecting the monitoring accuracy. The system realizes the efficient collection and analysis of temperature field data, accurately controls the operating parameters of the combustion zone, improves the combustion efficiency and heat utilization rate, and provides data support for intelligent soot blowing and smoke exhaust optimization, which significantly improves the operating reliability and economy of the incinerator.

[0026] 2. This chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent sootblowing equipment and method, by providing a steam sootblower, starts the sootblowing operation when the flue gas temperature exceeds the sum of the ideal flue gas temperature and the margin temperature, effectively avoiding frequent or insufficient sootblowing operations, extending the service life of the equipment while maintaining thermal efficiency. By combining historical temperature data, combustion zone temperature field data and real-time flue gas temperature for calculation, the sootblowing sequence and intensity are scientifically planned to ensure uniform dust removal on the heated surface and reduce the impact of dust accumulation on heat exchange efficiency. The intelligent control of the sootblowing process can reduce human intervention, improve the automation level and stability of boiler operation, and reduce unnecessary steam consumption and operating costs.

[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the present invention should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present invention do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.

"Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent sootblowing equipment includes a boiler 5 and a combustion zone 6 located inside the boiler 5, with ash 14 provided at the bottom of the combustion zone 6, and a superheater 12 provided inside the boiler 5; an online detection system, the online detection system includes several image detectors 1, a network switch 3 and an industrial computer 4, the image detector 1 is arranged above the combustion zone 6, and is used to collect temperature field data of the combustion zone 6, the network switch 3 connects the image detector 1 and the industrial computer 4 through a gigabit network cable 2, and the industrial computer 4 is coupled with the external power plant DCS control system, and adjusts the primary air volume, chain moving speed and combustion state of the boiler 5 by real-time analysis of the temperature field data; a steam sootblower 9, the steam sootblower 9 is installed in the tail flue of the boiler 5, and is used to remove dust from the heating surface. 9 wirelessly communicates with the industrial computer 4, and judges and triggers the soot blowing operation based on the temperature field data of the combustion zone 6 and the exhaust gas temperature. A cooling air interface 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the image detector 1. The cooling air interface 7 is used to pass compressed air to cool the image detector 1. The online detection system divides the combustion zone 6 into several temperature zones, and each temperature zone corresponds to a group of independent chain grates 11 and primary fans 10. The primary fans 10 are controlled by the power plant DCS control system to adjust the air volume. The industrial computer 4 is used to calculate the average temperature in the combustion zone 6. When the temperature of one area in the combustion zone 6 is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature range, the primary air volume of the corresponding combustion zone 6 is increased through the boiler 5 power plant DCS control system, and the chain speed is adjusted to optimize combustion.

[0035] The combustion zone 6 of the chain-type waste incinerator is divided into N zones according to the fan arrangement, ensuring that the primary air volume of each zone can be continuously and independently adjusted by changing the fan motor frequency. After the boiler 5 is initialized and operated, the image detector 1 collects the flame images of each zone in the combustion zone 6 in real time, and imports them into the industrial computer 4 through the network switch 3 to calculate the flame temperature field of each zone in the combustion zone 6. The online detection system of the temperature field of the combustion zone 6 of the chain-type waste incinerator is coupled with the DCS control system. If the average temperature of the zone temperature field in the combustion zone 6 is lower than the set combustion temperature lower limit Tmin, the combustion optimization control scheme begins to intervene and adjust the operating parameters. Otherwise, the DC control system is still used. The S control system regulates combustion. When the number of zones where the average temperature Tave,i in the combustion zone 6 is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature interval Tint is no more than half, the primary air volume of the zones where the average temperature is too low is only increased appropriately. If the number of zones where the average flame temperature Tave,i is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature interval Tint is more than half, the movement speed of the chain grate 11 is appropriately reduced and the primary air volume of the zones where the average temperature is too low is increased appropriately. In the process of automatic optimization control of combustion, the grate movement speed, the primary air volume of each zone, and the temperature field are collected and recorded to establish big data for online search of the primary air volume and the optimal adjustment amount of the chain grate 11.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the start-up conditions of the steam soot blower 9 include the exhaust temperature exceeding the sum of the ideal exhaust temperature and the set margin temperature. The soot blowing operation sequence and intensity of the steam soot blower 9 are optimized and calculated by the industrial computer 4 based on the historical temperature data, the temperature field data of the combustion zone 6 and the exhaust temperature;

[0037] According to the efficiency requirements of the boiler 5, the exhaust gas temperature margin Tm is set, that is, the difference between the actual exhaust gas temperature Tgas and the ideal exhaust gas temperature T. The real-time average temperature of the combustion zone 6 and the primary air volume imported from the online detection system of the temperature field of the chain-type waste incinerator combustion zone 6 are combined with the exhaust gas temperature Tgas collected in real time from the DCS control system to establish big data. The intelligent soot blowing control solution determines the real-time ideal exhaust gas temperature T based on the real-time average temperature of the combustion zone 6 and the primary air volume imported from the online detection system of the temperature field of the chain-type waste incinerator combustion zone 6 and the accumulated big data. When the real-time exhaust gas temperature Tgas exceeds the sum of the real-time ideal exhaust gas temperature T and the exhaust gas temperature margin Tm, the steam soot blower 9 is started to perform the soot blowing operation;

[0038] Initiating sootblowing when the exhaust gas temperature exceeds the sum of the ideal exhaust gas temperature and the margin temperature can effectively avoid frequent or insufficient sootblowing operations, extend equipment service life, and maintain thermal efficiency. By combining historical temperature data, combustion zone 6 temperature field data, and real-time exhaust gas temperature for calculation, the sootblowing sequence and intensity are scientifically planned to ensure uniform dust removal from the heating surface and reduce the impact of soot accumulation on heat exchange efficiency. Intelligent control of the sootblowing process can reduce human intervention, improve the automation level and stability of boiler 5 operation, and reduce unnecessary steam consumption and operating costs.

[0039] The image detector 1 collects visible light images through the continuous spectral radiation characteristics of soot and fly ash, and processes them through the industrial computer 4 to generate the temperature field of the combustion area 6;

[0040] By collecting visible light images based on the continuous spectral radiation characteristics of soot and fly ash, the temperature distribution in the combustion zone 6 can be effectively reflected, and the combustion status can be understood in real time. The industrial computer 4 processes the images to generate temperature field data, and the positions of the high-temperature and low-temperature zones in the combustion zone 6 are clearly defined, providing an accurate basis for adjusting the zoning air volume and chain speed. In addition, based on the real-time temperature field data, the system can quickly respond to changes in fuel properties or load, automatically optimize combustion, and improve the combustion efficiency and heat utilization rate of the waste incinerator.

[0041] The image detector 1 is connected to the network switch 3 via a POE interface, which provides power supply and data transmission functions for the image detector 1;

[0042] The POE interface provides power supply and data transmission functions for the image detector 1 at the same time, avoiding the need for additional power lines, reducing wiring complexity and construction costs. The network switch 3 uniformly manages the power supply and signal transmission of the image detector 1, reducing data interruptions caused by power failures and enhancing system stability. All detectors are centrally connected to the industrial computer 4 through the network switch 3 to achieve unified temperature field data collection and processing, simplifying equipment management and maintenance operations.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the network switch 3 supports redundant communication protocols and establishes multi-path communication between the image detector 1 and the industrial computer 4;

[0044] Through the redundant communication protocol, multi-path communication is established between the image detector 1 and the industrial computer 4 to avoid data interruption caused by a single path failure and improve the overall reliability of the system. Once a problem occurs in a communication path, the redundant communication mechanism can quickly switch to the backup path to ensure the continuity and real-time performance of the online detection system. Multi-path communication reduces the risk of single point failure, ensures the stability of the data acquisition and transmission process of the image detector 1, and maintains the integrity and accuracy of the temperature field data.

[0045] The present invention also discloses a chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing method, which is applied to the above-mentioned chain-type waste incinerator combustion optimization and intelligent soot blowing equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1: Image detector 1 collects visible light images of combustion zone 6 through the continuous spectral radiation characteristics of soot and fly ash, and monitors the flame temperature field of combustion zone 6 in real time; image data is transmitted to network switch 3 via Gigabit network cable 2;

[0047] S2: The network switch 3 supplies power to the image detector 1 through the POE interface and transmits the collected image data to the industrial computer 4. A redundant communication protocol is used to establish multi-path communication to ensure the stability and continuity of data transmission.

[0048] S3: After receiving the image data collected by the image detector 1, the industrial computer 4 generates the temperature distribution of the combustion zone 6 through the temperature field processing algorithm, and displays the high temperature zone, low temperature zone and temperature curve change information in real time;

[0049] S4: The online detection system divides the combustion zone 6 into multiple temperature zones, each corresponding to an independent primary fan 10 and chain grate 11. The industrial computer 4 calculates the average temperature field of each zone. If the average temperature of a zone is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature range Tint, combustion optimization control is initiated.

[0050] S5: Based on the real-time temperature data of each zone of the combustion zone 6, the industrial computer 4 adjusts the air volume of the primary fan 10 and the moving speed of the chain grate 11 of the corresponding zone through the DCS control system; when the number of low-temperature zones is less than half, the primary air volume of the low-temperature zones is appropriately increased; if the number of low-temperature zones is more than half, the moving speed of the grate is simultaneously reduced and the air volume is appropriately increased;

[0051] S6: During the combustion optimization process, the industrial computer 4 records the grate speed, zone air volume, and temperature field data, and creates big data for iteration of the optimization algorithm to improve combustion efficiency and heat utilization rate;

[0052] S7: When the real-time exhaust gas temperature Tgas exceeds the sum of the ideal exhaust gas temperature T and the set margin temperature Tm, the industrial computer 4 starts the steam soot blower 9; the soot blowing sequence and intensity are optimized and calculated based on the temperature field data of the combustion zone 6, the historical temperature data and the exhaust gas temperature to ensure uniform soot removal on the heated area.

[0053] Compared with the existing technology, the image detector 1 collects visible light images of the combustion zone 6 in real time and generates temperature field data, which can accurately monitor the temperature distribution of the combustion zone 6, making up for the shortcomings of traditional flue gas temperature probes, acoustic temperature measurement and infrared temperature measurement in waste incinerators, such as small detection range and low accuracy; combined with the industrial computer 4 and the DCS control system, the temperature zones are divided online and the air volume and chain speed of the primary fan 10 are adjusted in real time to achieve precise optimization of the low-temperature zones, effectively improve the combustion efficiency, and improve the combustion stability. At the same time, the combustion control parameters are further optimized through big data accumulation and algorithm iteration, and the adaptability of the equipment is enhanced; the steam soot blower 9 is started based on the exhaust gas temperature and temperature margin, and the soot blowing sequence and intensity are intelligently planned in combination with historical data and temperature field data to avoid equipment loss caused by frequent soot blowing, maintain heat exchange efficiency, and improve the economy and reliability of the boiler 5 operation.

S3: After receiving the image data collected by the image detector (1), the industrial computer (4) generates the temperature distribution of the combustion zone (6) through the temperature field processing algorithm, and displays the high temperature zone, low temperature zone and temperature curve change information in real time; S4: The online detection system divides the combustion zone (6) into multiple temperature zones, each zone corresponding to an independent primary fan (10) and chain grate (11); the industrial control computer (4) calculates the average temperature field of each zone, and if the average temperature of a certain zone is lower than the lower limit of the set combustion temperature range Tint, the combustion optimization control is started; S5: Based on the real-time temperature data of each zone of the combustion zone (6), the industrial control computer (4) adjusts the air volume of the primary fan (10) and the moving speed of the chain grate (11) of the corresponding zone through the DCS control system; when the number of low-temperature zones is less than half, the primary air volume of the low-temperature zones is appropriately increased; if the number of low-temperature zones is more than half, the moving speed of the grate is simultaneously reduced and the air volume is appropriately increased; S6: During the combustion optimization process, the industrial computer (4) records the grate speed, partition air volume and temperature field data, and establishes big data for iteration of the optimization algorithm to improve combustion efficiency and heat utilization rate; S7: When the real-time exhaust gas temperature Tgas exceeds the sum of the ideal exhaust gas temperature T and the set margin temperature Tm, the industrial control computer (4) starts the steam soot blower (9); the soot blowing sequence and intensity are optimized and calculated based on the temperature field data of the combustion zone (6), the historical temperature data and the exhaust gas temperature to ensure that the soot on the heated area is evenly removed.
