DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] The present invention discloses a method for achieving low NO x Emission multi-stage swirl staged oxygen-enriched combustion system, reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , including an oxygen-enriched combustion boiler and a recirculation fan 11, a flue gas purification device 12, a desulfurization tower 9 and a burner 13 respectively connected thereto. The oxygen-enriched combustion boiler is provided with an array injection device 14. The burner 13 includes a primary air channel 15 and a secondary air channel sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside. The outlets of the primary air channel 15 and the secondary air channel face the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler. The secondary air channel has a double swirl adjustment function. The flue gas purification device 12 is respectively connected to the primary air channel 15, the secondary air channel and the array injection device 14 through pipelines. The coal bunker 20 is connected to the primary air channel 15. A pulverized coal metering device 21 is provided on the coal bunker 20. The pure oxygen channel 22 is respectively connected to the array injection device 14, the primary air channel 15 and the secondary air channel through pipelines.

[0027] The secondary air channel is divided into a swirl secondary air channel 16 and a DC secondary air channel 17 , and swirl blades 18 are arranged at the ends of the channels.

[0028] The cross sections of the primary air channel 15 and the secondary air channel are circular.

[0029] The primary air pulverized coal flow and the injection gas of the array injection device 14 come from a mixture of oxygen and circulating flue gas from an oxygen-enriched combustion boiler, and the swirl secondary air and the direct current secondary air are fed with oxygen, circulating flue gas from an oxygen-enriched combustion boiler or a mixture of oxygen and circulating flue gas from an oxygen-enriched combustion boiler.

[0030] When the equivalence ratio of the burner 13 is greater than 1, a low-oxygen pulverized coal gasification reaction atmosphere is formed in the outlet area of the burner 13. When the equivalence ratio of the array injection device 14 is less than 1, an oxygen-rich coke combustion atmosphere is formed in the boiler burnout area.

[0031] The outlet of the flue gas purification device 12 is connected to the primary air channel 15, the swirl secondary air channel 16, the DC secondary air channel 17 and the array injection device 14 respectively.

[0032] An air preheater 7 is provided between the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler and the dust collector 8 , a recirculation fan 11 is provided between the dust collector 8 and the flue gas purification equipment 12 , and the outlet of the dust collector 8 is connected to the desulfurization tower 9 .

[0033] The desulfurization tower 9 is connected to the recirculation fan 11 and the chimney 10 through pipelines.

[0034] The coal-oxygen combustion boiler is provided with a low-temperature superheater 4 , an economizer 5 and a denitrification device 6 .

[0035] The oxygen-enriched combustion boiler is also provided with a platen superheater 1, a final stage superheater 2 and a high-temperature reheater 3.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is: when the multi-stage swirl graded oxygen-enriched combustion system operates normally, the primary air carries the coal powder from the primary air channel 15 into the burner 13, and the secondary air enters the burner 13 and the boiler combustion chamber from the swirl secondary air channel 16 and the DC secondary air channel 17; the coal is gasified in an oxygen-deficient environment and then completely burned in the oxygen-rich atmosphere created by the array injection device 14, and the generated gas passes through the screen superheater 1, the final superheater 2 and the high-temperature reheater 3 in the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler in sequence, and then passes through the low-temperature superheater 4 and the economizer 5, and then enters the denitrification device 6, and the flue gas after denitrification enters the air preheater 7.

[0037] The obtained tail gas first passes through the dust collector 8 for electrostatic dust removal, and then passes through the desulfurization tower 9 to obtain relatively pure flue gas, and 10%-20% of the high-temperature flue gas is extracted for recycling.

[0038] After this part of high-temperature flue gas passes through the recirculation fan 11 and the flue gas purification equipment 12, 30% is passed into the primary air channel 15, carrying coal powder into the furnace, and at the same time it can also preheat the coal and promote the pyrolysis and gasification of the coal; 70% is passed into the swirl secondary air channel 16 and the DC secondary air channel 17, and the remaining recycled flue gas enters the boiler through the array injection device 14; the remaining flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere after passing through the chimney 10.

[0039] In this way, not only the emission of pollutants is reduced, but also the efficiency of energy utilization is improved.

[0040] A mixture of coal, oxygen and circulating flue gas from an oxygen-enriched combustion boiler is introduced into the primary air channel 15. The coal is preheated by the high-temperature flue gas, which is beneficial to the pre-decomposition of the coal. An oxygen-deficient atmosphere can also be achieved by regulating the ratio of oxygen and circulating flue gas, thereby suppressing the formation of thermal NO. x and fuel-type NO x At the same time, it further promotes the coal gasification reaction, is beneficial to the decomposition of complex organic pollutants in coal (such as tar, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.), avoids the formation of incomplete combustion products (such as coke or sticky tar), reduces the risk of boiler coking and slagging, and improves operational safety.

[0041] The secondary air channel is connected to the swirl secondary air channel 16, the DC secondary air channel 17, the swirl blade 18 and the swirl adjustment rod 19 in sequence. Oxygen, recycled flue gas from the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler, or a mixture of oxygen and recycled flue gas from the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler can be introduced from the inlet pipe to maintain oxygen deficiency at the burner outlet to form a coal gasification reaction or low-oxygen combustion atmosphere. Figure 5 The swirl secondary air utilizes the tapered structure of the swirl secondary air channel 16 to achieve swirl, and then mixes with the DC secondary air introduced into the DC secondary air channel 17. By adjusting the ratio of the swirl secondary air and the DC secondary air, a first-level swirl is formed. At the same time, the swirl blade 18 can be regulated by the swirl regulating rod 19 to adjust its swirl intensity, which can further adjust the swirl intensity of the airflow at the outlet of the secondary air channel to form a second-level swirl. The enhanced swirl wind can achieve the entrainment and mixing of high-temperature flue gas. On the one hand, it can fully mix the gasification products with the combustion-supporting materials to improve the subsequent combustion efficiency. On the other hand, it can evenly distribute the temperature field in the oxygen-poor combustion zone and reduce thermal NO. x generate.

[0042] In this embodiment, the array injection device 14 is located on the side wall of the burnout zone, with the front and rear walls facing each other. This ensures a stable flame shape and uniform furnace temperature distribution, promotes mixing of fuel and combustion aids, avoids localized oxygen deficiency or fuel-rich zones, and improves combustion efficiency. The gas injected by the array injection device 14 is a mixture of oxygen and circulating flue gas from the oxy-combustion boiler, creating an oxygen-rich environment, ensuring complete coke burnout, uniform temperature distribution, and reducing nitrogen oxide emissions.

[0043] The multi-stage cyclone graded oxygen-enriched combustion system uses oxygen and recycled flue gas from the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler as the combustion support. The recycled flue gas carries a certain amount of heat, and as a high-temperature combustion support, it helps reduce fuel consumption and promotes coal gasification and decomposition. The recycled flue gas comes from the exhaust gas generated by the oxygen-enriched combustion boiler. The exhaust gas first passes through the denitrification device 6 to remove nitrogen oxides from the flue gas. The denitrified flue gas then passes through the air preheater 7 and enters the dust collector 8 for electrostatic dust removal. After passing through the desulfurization tower 9, a relatively pure high-temperature flue gas is obtained. Part of the flue gas is extracted and recirculated into the combustion system, reducing particulate matter, heavy metals, and SO in the recycled flue gas. x and NO xcontent, reducing the new sulfur pollution and fuel-type NO during cyclic combustion x The CO2 and H2O in the recycled flue gas help maintain furnace temperature uniformity, especially when the wall flame fluctuates or extinguishes during low-load operation.
