Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of carbon emissions, and particularly relates to a direct carbon emissions monitoring system and method based on CEMS. Background Art
[0002] The background of carbon emissions monitoring mainly stems from the global attention to climate change and international actions to address climate change. As scientific research shows that human activities, especially the large-scale burning of fossil fuels in the industrialization process, the release of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other greenhouse gas emissions have caused global climate change, which is one of the most severe challenges faced by humanity since the 21st century. Facing this challenge, the international community has reached a broad consensus on reducing carbon emissions. In order to effectively respond to climate change and achieve the dual goals of economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, the carbon emissions trading market, as an economic mechanism, has become a key tool to promote greenhouse gas emissions reduction and the development of low-carbon technologies.
[0003] Currently, there are many domestic enterprises in the CO 2 -CEMS system for directly measuring carbon emissions. For the technical methods of CO 2 concentration monitoring, the main methods are NDIR and FTIR methods, and the methods are very mature.

[0098] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein.
[0099] Overview of the Application
[0100] At present, the field of carbon emissions monitoring still faces many challenges. Traditional carbon emissions accounting techniques mainly rely on the accounting method. The accounting method estimates the carbon emissions generated from the consumption of fossil fuels, industrial production processes, etc., and is based on a series of complex conversion formulas and coefficients. However, the accuracy of this method is affected by various factors, such as the uncertainties of fuel types, combustion efficiency, emission factors, etc., resulting in large errors in the accounting results. In addition, the accounting method is also easily affected by human interference, such as incomplete data records, inconsistent statistical methods, etc., further increasing the uncertainty of the accounting results. This not only increases the labor cost, but also makes it difficult to accurately evaluate the actual effect of energy conservation and carbon reduction, restricting the formulation and implementation of carbon emission reduction strategies.
[0101] To overcome the limitations of the accounting method, the direct measurement method CEMS has been introduced in the prior art for real-time monitoring of carbon emissions. CEMS measures the concentrations of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 in the flue gas and the flue gas flow rate in real time through sensors installed on the emission source, and then calculates the carbon emissions. However, there are still many problems in the actual application of CEMS. On the one hand, since the measurement of flue gas flow rate data is easily affected by physical characteristics such as pipe shape, size, pipe diameter, etc., and the interference of installation states such as elbows and valves, the quality assurance and traceability of the flow rate data cannot be fully guaranteed. On the other hand, during the process of directly and real-time monitoring carbon emissions, H 2 O in the flue gas has a significant impact on the detection results, easily causing deviations in the measurement results and further reducing the accuracy of the data.
[0102] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this application proposes an innovative carbon emissions monitoring method. This method uses a wet tracer gas and is based on the mass flow balance method. By accurately measuring the ratio between the concentration of the tracer injected at the upstream section and the concentration of the diluted tracer at the downstream sampling section, the flue gas flow rate can be accurately deduced.
[0103] Specifically, the mass flow balance method of using tracer standard gas is adopted. The tracer standard gas is input upstream of the flue gas emission flow, and the flue gas flow rate is accurately calculated through the volume flow rate of the tracer standard gas, the carbon dioxide concentration, and the volume flow rate of the flue gas emission flow downstream. It can ensure the traceability of the flow rate data, and at the same time, it can eliminate the influence of physical characteristics such as the shape, size, and pipe diameter of the pipeline, as well as the installation status of elbows, valves, etc. on the flow rate measurement, and achieve high-precision measurement of the flue gas flow rate. At the same time, by controlling the humidity influence of the monitoring data downstream of the quality control flue gas, the carbon emission is calculated more accurately. Compared with the traditional nuclear algorithm and the direct measurement method of CEMS, the technical solution of this application has achieved remarkable results in reducing uncertainty. By optimizing the measurement method and data processing process, the uncertainty in the process of monitoring carbon emissions has been successfully reduced, thereby improving the accuracy and scientific nature of the data. This breakthrough provides strong technical support for the effective monitoring and scientific management of carbon emissions.
[0104] Exemplary embodiment
[0105] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, a direct carbon emission monitoring system based on CEMS includes a tracer standard gas unit, a collection unit, a concentration analysis unit, a flow rate monitoring unit, and a main control analysis unit.
[0106] Among them, the tracer standard gas unit is connected to the upstream of the flue gas emission flow through a transmission pipeline, and is used to release the tracer standard gas to the upstream of the flue gas emission flow at a volume concentration C v1 and a volume flow rate Q x . The input end of the collection unit is arranged downstream of the flue gas emission flow, and the output end is communicated with the concentration analysis unit through a transmission pipeline, and is used to collect flue gas samples downstream of the flue gas emission flow and transmit the collected flue gas samples to the concentration analysis unit. The concentration analysis unit is signal-connected to the main control analysis unit, and obtains the volume concentration C v2 of the tracer standard gas and the volume concentration C i (CO 2 ) in the flue gas sample by analyzing the received flue gas sample, and transmits it to the main control analysis unit. The flow rate monitoring unit is arranged on the flue gas emission flow and is signal-connected to the main control analysis unit, and transmits the obtained volume flow rate Q(v) of the flue gas emission flow to the main control analysis unit. The main control analysis unit is signal-connected to the tracer standard gas unit, and is used to control the tracer standard gas unit to release the tracer standard gas, and receive the volume concentration C v1 and the volume flow rate Q x when the tracer standard gas is released. The main control analysis unit calculates according to the volume flow rate Q x , the volume concentration C v1and the volume concentration C v2 Analyze the volume flow rate Q of the tracer gas in the flue gas sample, and then obtain the flow quality control coefficient k(v) through the volume flow rate Q of the tracer gas and the volume flow rate Q(v) of the flue gas emission flow, so as to calculate the emission amount of carbon dioxide in the flue gas emission flow.
[0107] Specifically, the control analysis unit receives the volume flow rate Q x and the volume concentration C v1 and the volume concentration C v2 Analyze the volume flow rate Q of the tracer gas in the flue gas sample:
[0108]
[0109] In the formula,
[0110] Q: The volume flow rate of the tracer gas in the flue gas sample, m 3 / h;
[0111] C v1 : The volume concentration when the tracer gas is released, taking the 5-minute average value;
[0112] C v2 : The volume concentration of the tracer gas obtained by the concentration analysis unit, taking the 5-minute average value;
[0113] Q x : The volume flow rate when the tracer gas is released, taking the 5-minute average value, L / min.
[0114] When the tracer gas is a pure gas, the volume concentration C v1 = 1, and the above formula is simplified to:
[0115]
[0116] Obtain the flow quality control coefficient k(v) through the volume flow rate Q of the tracer gas and the volume flow rate Q(v) of the flue gas emission flow:
[0117]
[0118] Calculate the emission amount of carbon dioxide in the flue gas emission flow:
[0119] G = C i (CO 2 ) × 44 / 22.4 × 10000 × Q(v) / 1000000 × k(v)
[0120] In the formula,
[0121] G: The emission amount of carbon dioxide in the flue gas emission flow, kg / h;
[0122] Q(v): The volumetric flow rate of the flue gas emission stream, m 3 / h;
[0123] C i (CO 2 ): The volume concentration of carbon dioxide in the flue gas emission stream, %;
[0124] k(v): Flow quality control coefficient.
[0125] In the present application, the flue gas emission stream specifically refers to the gaseous mixture generated from various industrial processes, combustion equipment or other emission sources and usually discharged into the atmosphere through a chimney. These mixtures contain various gas components, including but not limited to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, water vapor, and unburned hydrocarbons, etc. Their composition, concentration, temperature, flow rate, pressure and other parameters vary with the type of emission source, operating conditions, fuel characteristics and flue gas purification measures.
[0126] In the application, the terms "downstream" and "upstream" are used to describe the flow direction and relative position of substances, energy or information in a system, process or device. In the flue gas emission process, upstream refers to the area or component that the flue gas first passes through. Relative to the upstream, downstream refers to the area or component that the flue gas continues to flow to after passing through the upstream area or component. At the same time, in the flue gas emission process, the flow direction of the flue gas is from upstream to downstream. This directionality is reflected not only in the physical space but also in the logical sequence of processing steps. Upstream processing is the premise and basis for downstream processing, and downstream processing is to further optimize and ensure the results of upstream processing.
[0127] In some embodiments, the tracer gas unit includes a tracer gas source and a flow controller. The tracer gas source provides high-purity tracer gas as a "marker" for monitoring or research. The tracer gas is usually stored in high-pressure cylinders, and the cylinders should meet relevant safety standards (such as ISO, GB, etc.) and be equipped with a pressure reducing valve to control the gas release pressure. The flow controller is used to precisely control the release flow rate of the tracer gas to ensure that it enters the flue gas emission stream at a set volumetric flow rate. The flow controller is connected to the output end of the tracer gas source, and the output end of the flow controller is connected to the upstream of the flue gas emission stream through a transmission pipeline, and the flow controller is signal-connected to the main control analysis unit for transmitting the volumetric concentration C v1 and volumetric flow rate Q x to the main control analysis unit.
[0128] The tracer gas is selected as a gas with a small content and good diffusibility in the flue gas.
[0129] In some embodiments, the tracer gas may be ethane, propane, acetylene, carbon monoxide, or Freon, perfluoroisocyanide, helium, or sulfur hexafluoride. These tracer gases have chemical stability and do not react with flue gas components, and have a low background concentration in the atmosphere to reduce interference with experimental data. The purity of the tracer gas is ≥99.9% to ensure the accuracy of the experiment or monitoring.
[0130] Preferably, the tracer gas is selected from sulfur hexafluoride. SF 6 Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, such as chemical stability, low reactivity, difficulty in reacting with other substances, and high sensitivity under specific detection means, it becomes an ideal tracer gas. When SF 6 is mixed with the flue gas and released into the environment, it will diffuse along with the flow of the flue gas and can be detected with high sensitivity under specific detection means. By tracking the 6 concentration change of SF, the flow path, velocity, and diffusion range of the flue gas can be indirectly reflected, and then the distribution and concentration change of carbon dioxide can be analyzed.
[0131] After the tracer gas is released, it needs to be fully mixed with the flue gas so that a representative flue gas sample can be obtained at the sampling point. If the release point is too close to the sampling point, it may cause a high-concentration area of the tracer gas to form in a local area, while the concentration in other areas is relatively low, which will seriously affect the accuracy and reliability of the flue gas sample. Therefore, the distance between the tracer gas release point and the flue gas sample sampling point needs to be controlled.
[0132] In some embodiments, the distance between the tracer gas release point and the flue gas sample sampling point is at least 5 m. For example, it can be 5 m, 6 m, 7 m, 8 m, 9 m, 10 m.
[0133] In some embodiments, the flow rate monitoring unit calculates the volume flow rate of the flue gas by measuring the flow velocity of the flue gas. Specifically, Doppler radar technology is used, where a radar sensor emits and receives microwave signals, and the flow velocity of the flue gas is calculated by measuring the frequency change of the microwave signals; or ultrasonic technology is used, where an ultrasonic sensor emits and receives ultrasonic signals, and the flow velocity of the flue gas is calculated by using the change in signal propagation time; or a thermal flow meter is used, where a hot wire or hot film sensor measures the flow velocity of the flue gas. When the flue gas flows through the sensor, it will carry away heat, and the flow velocity can be deduced by measuring the change in heat.
[0134] The volume flow rate Q(v) of the flue gas emission stream obtained by the flow rate monitoring unit is:
[0135]
[0136] In the formula,
[0137] Q(v): Volumetric flow rate of the flue gas emission stream, m 3 / h;
[0138] S: Area of the monitoring section of the flue gas emission stream, m 2 ;
[0139] v: Flow velocity of the flue gas emission stream, taking the 5-minute average value, m / s;
[0140] t s : Flue gas temperature of the flue gas emission stream, °C;
[0141] B a : Atmospheric pressure, Pa;
[0142] P s : Static pressure of the flue gas in the flue gas emission stream, Pa;
[0143] In some embodiments, the flow monitoring unit is arranged near the collection port of the collection unit to ensure the consistency of the monitored flow data and the collected flue gas sample data in terms of time and space, thereby reducing...
[0144] In some embodiments, the collection unit includes a sampling probe, a sampling rod, and a heating tracing pipeline. One end of the sampling rod is connected to the sampling probe through a sealed connector, and this connection is usually designed to be detachable for easy maintenance and replacement of the sampling probe. The sampling rod serves to support and transmit the flue gas sample and ensures that there is no leakage of the flue gas sample during the collection process. The other end of the sampling rod is connected to the inlet of the heating tracing pipeline to transmit the collected flue gas sample to the heating tracing pipeline for heating treatment to prevent the condensation of water vapor in the flue gas during transmission, thereby avoiding interference with subsequent analysis. The outlet of the heating tracing pipeline is connected to the concentration analysis unit, such as being connected to the inlet of a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer, to send the heated flue gas sample into the analysis instrument for detection. In practical applications, the collection unit may also include other auxiliary components, such as flow meters, pressure reducing valves, filters, etc., for further controlling and optimizing the collection and transmission process of the flue gas sample. To reduce the influence of impurities (such as dust, oil mist, particulate matter, etc.) in the flue gas sample on the detection results, a device specifically for filtering particulate matter is equipped on the sampling probe. This filtering device is usually a combination of one or more filter elements, and different types of filter materials, such as fiberglass, ceramics, metal mesh, polymer membranes, etc., can be selected according to the requirements of filtration accuracy and efficiency. The filtering device is designed and installed at the inlet or inside of the sampling probe to pre-treat the flue gas before it enters the detection instrument.
[0145] In some embodiments, the traced pipeline includes an inner gas pipeline, an electric heating tape, a heat insulation layer, a thermal insulation layer and an outer protective sleeve. The inner gas pipeline is the core part of the traced pipeline and is used to transport the medium that needs to be heat-insulated or heated, such as the humidified tracer gas. The electric heating tape is wound outside the gas pipeline to provide a heating function. According to the working principle, the electric heating tape can be divided into a self-limiting temperature type and a constant power type. The self-limiting temperature type electric heating tape has a limited heating temperature, while the constant power type electric heating tape can adjust the heating temperature through a temperature controller. The heat insulation layer is located outside the electric heating tape to reduce heat dissipation and improve the heat insulation effect. The thermal insulation layer is located outside the heat insulation layer to further provide a heat insulation function and ensure the overall heat insulation performance of the traced pipeline. The outer protective sleeve is the outermost layer of the traced pipeline, providing mechanical protection and preventing damage to the traced pipeline caused by the external environment.
[0146] In some embodiments, the concentration analysis unit is used to online monitor the volume concentration C of the tracer gas in the flue gas sample v2 and the volume concentration C of carbon dioxide i (CO 2 ) and feed the data back to the main control analysis unit. Among them, the type of concentration sensor is selected according to the characteristics of the tracer gas, such as an infrared absorption spectrometer, an electrochemical sensor or a mass spectrometer, etc., to ensure that the measurement accuracy and response speed meet the application requirements. Specifically, the concentration analysis unit uses a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer. In the detection process, first, an infrared light source emits broadband infrared radiation, and then the pre-treated flue gas sample is introduced into the sample cell of the FTIR analyzer. In the sample cell, infrared light of a specific wavelength is absorbed by the tracer gas and carbon dioxide molecules, resulting in the attenuation of the infrared radiation intensity. This attenuation process is converted into an interference pattern by an interferometer and recorded by a detector. Then, a Fourier transform algorithm is used to perform a mathematical transformation on the interference pattern to convert it into a spectrum diagram that is easy to interpret. In the spectrum diagram, the absorption peaks of the humidified tracer gas and carbon dioxide can be identified, and by measuring the intensity of these absorption peaks and combining with the Beer-Lambert law, the concentrations of these two gases in the flue gas sample can be obtained.
[0147] In the application, the main control analysis unit specifically refers to a core device integrating control logic and data processing capabilities. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling the key operations of the entire flue gas emission monitoring system. Specifically, this unit not only controls the precise release of the tracer gas by the tracer gas unit, but also receives and analyzes the data from the concentration analysis unit and the flow detection unit, and then performs complex calculation tasks to obtain key parameters such as the flow rate of the flue gas emission stream and the carbon dioxide emission.
[0148] In some embodiments, the main control and analysis unit serves as the "brain" of the entire system and includes a central processing unit (CPU), a data acquisition module, a communication interface, a storage module, and a power supply module. Hardware components such as the CPU, data acquisition module, communication interface, storage module, and power supply module are integrated to form a complete main control and analysis unit. Among them, an industrial-grade processor is selected for the CPU, such as the processor in an embedded industrial control board or a PLC (programmable logic controller), which supports floating-point operations and multi-threaded processing to improve data processing capabilities and response speeds. The data acquisition module includes a multi-channel analog input module for receiving analog signals from sensors (such as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V); a digital input module for receiving pulse signals or other digital signals; and an RS485 communication interface for communicating with external devices (such as gas analyzers, flow meters). The communication interface can be an Ethernet interface that supports the Modbus TCP / IP protocol for communicating with a monitoring center or a remote server; or a wireless communication module (such as 4G / LTE) for wireless data transmission. The storage module can be an industrial-grade memory, such as a solid-state drive (SSD) or a flash card. The power supply module has a wide voltage input range (such as 100-240 V AC) to adapt to power conditions in different regions, and at the same time, it has a built-in battery backup module to ensure that data is not lost in case of a power outage.

[0150] Among them, the quality control unit includes a quality control standard gas source, which is connected to the input end of the collection unit through a heat tracing pipeline, such as connected to a sampling probe. The quality control standard gas source releases quality control standard gas, which is guided by the collection unit to the concentration analysis unit to obtain the concentration information of the quality control standard gas. The main control analysis unit calculates and analyzes a quality control coefficient based on the concentration information of the quality control standard gas, and this quality control coefficient is used to calibrate the original concentration obtained by the concentration analysis unit. The quality control standard gas source is usually stored in the form of a high-pressure steel cylinder. The steel cylinder should comply with relevant safety standards (such as ISO, GB, etc.) and be equipped with a pressure reducing valve to control the gas release pressure.
[0151] In some embodiments, in order to control the release flow rate of the quality control standard gas, a flow controller is connected to the output end of the quality control standard gas source, which is used to accurately control the release flow rate of the quality control standard gas to ensure that it enters the collection unit at a set flow rate.

[0312] According to the requirements of environmental protection standards, the sampling points were confirmed, the flanges and sampling probes were installed, and the tracing pipelines were connected to the acquisition unit. The release points were confirmed. After the dust removal process, at least 5 m upstream of the sampling point of the acquisition unit, the F6 release pipeline was installed and fixed, and the release flow rate was controlled at 11 mL / min.
[0313] Implementation method:
[0314] The acquisition unit continuously extracts flue gas, the concentration analysis unit continuously monitors the CO 2 concentration, the flow rate monitoring unit continuously monitors the temperature, pressure and flow rate of the flue gas, and the main control analysis unit calculates the final carbon dioxide emission.

[0316] The quality control cycle frequency is as follows:
[0317] The quality control cycle for the standard gas concentration of the CEMS system is 7 days;
[0318] The quality control cycle for the moisture-containing standard gas of the CEMS system is 30 days;
[0319] The quality control cycle for the flow rate of the CEMS system is 30 days.
[0320] The CEMS system compares the trends of the directly measured carbon emission and gas consumption data every day. When the trend is abnormal, the quality control of the moisture-containing standard gas and flow rate is initiated.
