Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flue gas purification spraying technology, and in particular relates to a flue gas gas-liquid contact spraying method and system based on dynamic water balance. Background Technology
[0002] Coal-fired power plants are one of the main energy supply facilities in the industrial sector, but their flue gas contains a large amount of sulfur oxides (SO₄). x ), nitrogen oxides (NO) x Pollutants such as particulate matter need to be purified using equipment such as spray towers. Simultaneously, direct contact spray heat exchange is required to reduce exhaust gas temperature and losses, thereby improving boiler efficiency. Traditional spray technology achieves cooling, desulfurization, dust removal, and heat exchange through gas-liquid contact, but it faces the following problems in actual operation:
[0003] Because the flue gas temperature decreases through spray heat exchange, when it drops to its equilibrium saturation temperature, water vapor in the flue gas begins to condense and fall into the spray tower pool, causing the spray tower's water level to rise continuously. In existing technologies, the water replenishment and drainage of the spray tower mainly rely on manual adjustment or fixed threshold control. However, coal-fired power plants often experience drastic changes in flue gas composition (such as water vapor content and ash content) due to coal type switching, which disrupts the system's water balance. For example, high-ash coal types increase the scaling rate of the demister unit, requiring a larger flushing water volume; while high-moisture coal types lead to an increase in water vapor content in the flue gas, requiring adjustments to the condensate flow rate to maintain the liquid level inside the tower. Summary of the Invention

[0087] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 Further explanation of the present invention:
[0088] Example: A flue gas gas-liquid contact spraying method based on dynamic water balance, the specific steps of which include:
[0089] S1. Flue gas enters the spray unit through the bottom of the spray unit and moves upward from the bottom of the spray unit to make gas-liquid contact with the spray medium to purify and exchange heat for the flue gas;
[0090] This step involves introducing flue gas from the bottom of the spray unit, causing it to move upwards and form a counter-current contact with the spray medium (such as desulfurization slurry), thereby removing pollutants (such as SO2) from the flue gas. x NO x The process involves the purification of particulate matter and the exchange of heat. The spray medium is evenly distributed through atomizing nozzles, increasing the gas-liquid contact area and improving desulfurization efficiency and heat exchange. Through counter-current gas-liquid contact, pollutants are absorbed by the slurry and undergo chemical reactions (e.g., SO2 reacts with limestone slurry to form gypsum), lowering the flue gas temperature. Simultaneously, heat is transferred to the slurry, providing a basis for heat recovery in the subsequent flash evaporation unit. This step directly determines the purification efficiency and energy recovery potential.
[0091] S2. The desulfurized slurry after purification and heat exchange enters the flash unit of the direct heat generator unit through the pipeline for flash evaporation. The exhaust steam generated by flash evaporation is used to provide a heat source for the heat exchange unit. The condensate generated after condensation in the flash evaporation unit is discharged, thereby maintaining the water balance of the spray tower.
[0092] The purified desulfurization slurry is transported to the flash evaporation unit of the direct heat exchanger, where it undergoes flash evaporation under negative pressure. During flash evaporation, the moisture in the slurry rapidly vaporizes to generate exhaust steam, which is used as a heat source for the heat exchange unit, while the condensate is discharged from the system through pipelines. The flash evaporation process achieves efficient recovery of waste heat and reduces the consumption of fresh steam. The discharge of condensate dynamically regulates the liquid level in the spray tower, maintaining the system's water balance and preventing overflow due to excessively high liquid levels or pump cavitation problems caused by excessively low liquid levels.
[0093] S3. After changing the coal type, the elements of the flue gas change. Adjust the vacuum pressure of the flash evaporation unit to control the water balance of the spray unit.
[0094] In this system, when coal type switching causes changes in flue gas composition (such as water vapor and ash content), the vacuum pressure of the flash evaporation unit is adjusted to change the flash evaporation temperature and condensation rate, thereby controlling the water input and output balance of the spray unit. Dynamic vacuum pressure regulation can quickly respond to fluctuations in flue gas composition; for example, high-moisture coal types increase the demand for condensate, while high-ash coal types require increased flushing water volume. This step ensures that the system completes adaptive adjustments in a short time, effectively controlling the amplitude of liquid level fluctuations and significantly improving operational stability.
[0095] This application uses a direct-heating unit and a spray unit to purify and clean flue gas through gas-liquid contact. At the same time, it collects and reuses the heat in the flue gas, making energy use while ensuring that the flue gas meets environmental protection requirements. In addition, the flue gas changes in moisture content and element content due to the change of coal type, so the direct-heating unit needs to adjust the water balance in the spray unit to ensure the water balance of the entire system and thus achieve long-term system operation.
[0096] The method for controlling the water balance of the spray unit by adjusting the vacuum pressure of the flash evaporation unit after the element of the flue gas changes due to the change in coal type (S3) is as follows:
[0097] S31. Real-time acquisition of furnace outlet temperature fluctuation time t ltck ;

[0101] S35, Based on the time t of the furnace outlet temperature fluctuation. ltck Changes in condensate water in direct-heating unit Adjust the vacuum pressure of the direct-heating unit.
[0102] Among them, the time t of the furnace outlet temperature fluctuation ltck This refers to the temperature at the boiler furnace outlet. After the flue gas from the new coal type completely replaces the flue gas from the old coal type, it refers to the time t when the new flue gas reaches the inlet of the spray unit. ycpltrk .
[0103] This application addresses the furnace outlet temperature fluctuation time t. ltck To determine the timing of coal type replacement, it is important to understand that the different elemental content of the new coal will alter its combustion degree, thus affecting the boiler furnace outlet temperature. Therefore, the timing of furnace outlet temperature fluctuations (t) is crucial. ltck This allows for more precise determination of when to switch coal types, eliminating the need for manual signaling.

[0107] S313, Record the first trigger threshold T set The time is t ltck .
[0108] Wherein, threshold T set This was obtained by collecting, sorting, screening, and analyzing historical coal type change data;
[0109] S32 is based on the time t of the furnace outlet temperature fluctuation.ltck Calculate the time t when the new flue gas arrives at the inlet of the spray unit. ycpltrk ,

This application will not describe it in detail.

[0153] This application takes into account that the ash content in the coal after changing the coal type will affect the degree of scaling on the surface of the demisting unit, which in turn affects the rinsing frequency of the self-cleaning rinsing water of the demisting unit, and ultimately affects the change in the rinsing water volume of the demisting unit, thus causing errors in water balance adjustment.

[0168] This application adjusts the flash temperature by regulating the vacuum pressure of the true heat engine unit, and ultimately adjusts the condensation rate of the condensate, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment of the system's water balance. At the same time, it predicts the start time of adjustment to ensure that the adjustment is completed when the flue gas generated by the new coal type enters the spray unit. Compared with the case of adjustment when changing coal type, this application minimizes the fluctuation of condensate.
[0169] The core of this invention lies in dynamically predicting the changes in the required flushing water volume of the demisting unit after coal type switching, and achieving adaptive adjustment through closed-loop control. The specific technical path is as follows:
[0170] Coal type switching signal identification
[0171] Temperature fluctuations are monitored in real time by acquiring furnace outlet temperature data at high frequency (sampling frequency ≥ 1Hz) and combining it with a moving average filtering algorithm. When the temperature range exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined as a coal type switching start signal, triggering the subsequent prediction process.
[0172] Calculation of flue gas transmission time for new coal types
[0173] By combining the geometric length of the flue, the real-time flue gas velocity, and the resistance correction coefficient, the transmission time of the flue gas of the new coal type from the furnace to the spray unit is accurately calculated, so as to reserve a time window for adjustment.
[0174] Dynamic prediction of flushing water volume changes
[0175] Ash content and scaling prediction: Based on the ash content of the new coal type, the bulk density of scale and the flue gas flow rate, the change in the scale thickness on the surface of the demisting unit is calculated, and the increase or decrease ratio of the required flushing water volume is derived.
[0176] Water vapor content correlation: By analyzing the elements of coal (carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, etc.), the volume fraction of water vapor in the flue gas is calculated. Combined with the difference in flue gas flow rate between new and old coal types, the dynamic changes in the inlet water volume of the spray unit are predicted.
[0177] Multi-factor coupling model: Taking into account the changes in inlet water, outlet water and flushing water of the spray unit, a water balance equation is constructed to correct the condensate discharge of the flash evaporation unit in real time.
[0178] Vacuum pressure coordinated regulation
[0179] Based on the predicted changes in condensate volume, the vacuum pressure of the flash evaporation unit is dynamically adjusted to change the flash evaporation temperature and condensation rate, thereby precisely controlling the liquid level in the spray tower. The adjustment process is automatically executed by the DCS system, ensuring that the water balance self-adaptive adjustment is completed within a short time after coal type switching.
[0180] Technical advantages and effects
[0181] Significantly improves water balance stability
[0182] Reduced level fluctuations: Through a dynamic prediction model, the system can anticipate the flushing water demand in advance, avoiding drastic level fluctuations caused by sudden changes in ash or water vapor content.
[0183] Extend equipment lifespan
[0184] Reduced scaling rate: By adaptively adjusting the flushing water volume, ash deposits on the surface of the demisting unit are effectively removed, avoiding increased pressure drop and decreased efficiency caused by thickened scale layer.
[0185] Extended maintenance cycle: Reduces the number of forced shutdowns for cleaning due to scaling, significantly increases equipment uptime, and lowers operation and maintenance costs.
[0186] Energy conservation and resource optimization
[0187] Reduced flushing water consumption: Traditional fixed threshold control often uses excessive flushing water to cope with the worst operating conditions, while dynamic adjustment supplies water only according to actual needs, significantly saving water resources.
[0188] Full-process automation and intelligence
[0189] Human intervention reduced by 90%: The system integrates a DCS control module to automate the entire process from coal type identification and water volume prediction to vacuum pressure regulation, reducing human error.
[0190] Rapid response and high-precision control: Based on real-time data feedback, the adjustment delay is reduced to the second level, ensuring the robustness of the system under complex working conditions.
[0191] Adaptable to flexible operation of multiple coal types
[0192] Compatible with different coal properties: Whether it is high-ash lignite or low-sulfur anthracite, the system can quickly adapt through dynamic model to avoid performance degradation caused by coal type switching.
[0193] Supports mixed coal combustion scenarios: Even under conditions where the proportion of coal blending changes frequently, the system can still maintain a stable water balance, expanding the flexibility of power plant fuel selection.
