Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of supercritical hydrothermal combustion, and in particular to a safety assurance system and method for a supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactor. Background Art

[0002] Supercritical water refers to water at a temperature ≥374.15°C and a pressure ≥22.12 MPa (i.e., above its critical point). Compared to normal water, supercritical water exhibits unique properties: reduced density, lower viscosity, increased diffusion coefficient, reduced hydrogen bond stability and number, and a dielectric constant much smaller than that of normal water. This unique property makes it a non-polar solvent with high diffusivity and good mass transfer. Supercritical hydrothermal combustion is an efficient and clean waste treatment and energy utilization technology. It utilizes the unique physicochemical properties of supercritical water to rapidly oxidize and decompose organic matter under high temperature and high pressure, achieving waste resource recovery and harmless treatment. This technology offers advantages such as fast reaction speed, high efficiency, and zero secondary pollution, and has broad application prospects in industrial wastewater treatment, municipal waste disposal, energy and chemical industries, and other fields.

[0003] However, in practical applications, serious safety issues during the operation of supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactors are a major factor restricting the development of this technology. Due to the high temperature and high pressure characteristics of the supercritical hydrothermal environment, and the inorganic salts generated during the reaction process easily deposit on the reactor walls and cause corrosion, often leading to reduced equipment performance and even safety accidents. For example, local overheating of the reactor wall can cause material failure, while abnormally high pressure within the system can cause equipment rupture and other accidents. In addition, when the inorganic salt content in the feed is too high, salt deposition not only increases heat transfer resistance but also causes corrosion damage to the equipment walls, shortening the equipment life and increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] In the existing technology, although the safety of supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactors has been improved to a certain extent through material modification and process optimization, the lack of an efficient online monitoring system for feed composition and an automatic linkage control mechanism makes the device less adaptable to fluctuations in the inorganic salt content in the feed, and the salt discharge treatment method is not perfect, resulting in wall overheating, overpressure and inorganic salt deposition problems.

[0005] Therefore, to address these safety hazards associated with supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactors, there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive safety assurance system specifically for these reactors. This system should enable online monitoring and dynamic control of key operating parameters and salt precipitation behavior, while also providing efficient heat exchange and cooling capabilities and a continuous salt removal mechanism. This is crucial for improving operational safety, reducing the risk of failure, and extending equipment life. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The present invention provides a safety assurance method for a supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactor, which is used in the safety assurance system of the above-mentioned supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactor, comprising the following steps: The organic matter conveying module conveys the organic material to the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber for combustion respectively. The heat generated after combustion in the primary combustion chamber is input into the primary combustion chamber cooler, and performs heat energy exchange with the cooling water input into the primary combustion chamber cooler by the cooling water conveying module. The cooling water that has exchanged heat energy is input into the secondary combustion chamber cooler, and performs heat energy exchange again with the heat generated after combustion in the secondary combustion chamber. Part of the cooling water that has exchanged heat energy in the secondary combustion chamber cooler is input into the organic matter conveying module to preheat the organic material, and the other part is input into the steam injection wellhead; The molten salt produced by combustion in the secondary combustion chamber is discharged into a solid-gas separator for collection and is discharged regularly; When the pressure in the first-stage combustion chamber exceeds a preset value, the pressure is released through the safety relief tank.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The present invention proposes a safety assurance system for a supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactor. The system enables full combustion of organic materials by providing a primary combustion chamber and a secondary combustion chamber. The heat energy generated after combustion is heat exchanged through the primary combustion chamber cooler and the secondary combustion chamber cooler, so that the wall temperature and outlet temperature in the supercritical hydrothermal combustion reactor are within a set range, solving the overtemperature problem when the combustion reaction releases a large amount of heat and avoiding overheating in the combustion chamber. The internal cooling water after heat exchange is input into the organic material input module to preheat the organic material input into the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber, thereby preventing excessive inorganic salt content in the organic material, ensuring that the inorganic salt melts, and does not scale and corrode the wall surface. It also reduces the generation of incomplete combustion products, avoids combustion fluctuations or flameout risks caused by cold material impact, and further improves energy utilization efficiency, reduces operating energy consumption, and significantly improves overall thermal efficiency. The salt discharge chamber collects the molten salt generated during the reaction and safely discharges it through the solid-gas separation system to prevent excessive accumulation of molten salt. The system improves safety, improves reactor efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and extends equipment life.

[0018] Furthermore, in this system, the secondary combustion chamber cooling water distribution valve is linked to the secondary combustion chamber temperature detector, and the primary combustion chamber cooling water distribution valve is linked to the primary combustion chamber temperature detector to monitor the core temperature of the combustion chamber in real time. By automatically adjusting the cooling water flow, the combustion chamber is effectively prevented from local or overall overheating due to violent reaction, uneven heat load or feed fluctuation, and the risk of failure in the combustion chamber due to high-temperature creep, oxidation or strength loss is avoided, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation and life of the combustion chamber.

[0019] Furthermore, the system achieves precise closed-loop control of the steam flow temperature in the steam injection wellhead through the coordinated use of a multi-element thermal fluid thermostat, a multi-element thermal fluid regulating valve and a cooling water temperature detector, thereby optimizing the formation thermal recovery efficiency and preventing wellbore / formation damage or substandard process results caused by excessively high or low temperatures. At the same time, part of the heat energy is used to preheat materials, thereby improving the overall thermal efficiency of the system.

[0020] Furthermore, in this system, the safety valve and the multi-element thermal fluid distribution valve are used to achieve double pressure relief of the system, effectively preventing physical explosions in the combustion chamber and improving the safety of the system.
