Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-rank coal pyrolysis, and in particular to a low-rank coal pyrolysis control system and a control method based on an externally heated rotary kiln. Background Art
[0002] In the field of low-rank coal pyrolysis and utilization technology, the externally heated rotary kiln is one of the mainstream equipment. The main feature of this equipment is that the external heat source provides heat indirectly, causing the low-rank coal to undergo pyrolysis reaction in the rotary kiln, thereby producing products such as tar, semi-coke and coal gas. It has the advantages of strong raw material adaptability, high-quality coal gas products, simple process and easy operation, and has broad application prospects in industries such as coal chemical industry.
[0003] Low-rank coal typically has a high water content and requires drying before pyrolysis. Therefore, existing pyrolysis processes based on externally heated rotary kilns typically follow a sequence of drying, pyrolysis, and cooling or waste heat recovery. Drying and pyrolysis are the most critical steps, and controlling the operating parameters of the drying and pyrolysis furnaces can effectively control the quality and yield of the final product.
[0004] Currently, the low-rank coal pyrolysis production process using externally heated rotary furnaces relies primarily on manual judgment and operation, with limited measurement points and control parameters, and a low degree of automation, making it impossible to achieve full process automatic control. This not only increases operator workload but also easily leads to operational errors, impacting product yield and quality. Furthermore, different types of raw coal vary significantly in their chemical composition and moisture content, and existing control methods often rely on historically empirically determined parameters for specific coal types. This makes it difficult to quickly adjust the appropriate operating parameters for different types of raw coal, leading to increased production costs and reduced product quality. This also increases the complexity and difficulty of operations for production personnel.
[0005] Chinese invention patent publication number CN109135778B discloses a "reaction control system and method for an externally heated rotary furnace retorting device." Applicable to externally heated rotary furnaces with an outer jacket and inner tubes, the system automatically controls the retorting system temperature through temperature and flow detection devices, control valves, and dampers installed in the hot air system. However, the system only addresses temperature control in the pyrolysis section, not the drying section, and fails to address the coordinated control of multiple parameters, such as raw coal flow rate, raw coal moisture content, dried coal moisture content, and fuel calorific value.
[0006] Chinese invention patent CN109340809B discloses a "control system and method for the preparation and drying of high-volatile pulverized coal." The method achieves pulverized coal drying by controlling parameters such as relative humidity, oxygen content, and drying load. However, the method only addresses the automatic adjustment of gas flow and air distribution in the rotary kiln, and does not address the coordinated control of the drying and pyrolysis processes. Furthermore, the method does not mention the coordinated control of multiple parameters such as raw coal flow, raw coal moisture, and dried coal moisture.
[0007] A U.S. patent application, publication number US20190292466A1, discloses a "Control Method for Pyrolysis Process of Low-Rank Coal," which achieves real-time control of the production process by analyzing the composition of solid, gas, and liquid phases during the pyrolysis of low-rank coal. However, this control method primarily relies on analyzing the composition of the pyrolysis products, does not involve control of the drying system, and does not mention the coordinated control of multiple parameters such as raw coal flow rate, raw coal moisture, dried coal moisture, and fuel calorific value.

[0104] The core control parameters and control logic of the low-rank coal pyrolysis control method of the present invention are as follows:
[0105] Before the system works, it is necessary to manually set the target values of "raw coal flow", "steam pressure", and "dried coal temperature in the discharge box" of the raw coal drying system, as well as the target values of "raw gas pressure", "hot air inlet bellows temperature", and "semi-coke discharge temperature" of the drying coal pyrolysis system. Combined with the measured values of "raw coal moisture", "dried coal moisture", "fuel calorific value", "fuel flow", "combustion-supporting air flow", and "exhaust gas flow", the automatic adjustment and control of the interlocking of related parameters can be achieved.
[0106] The above parameters for manually setting target values (3 for raw coal drying system and 3 for dried coal pyrolysis system) have the following functions:
[0107] (1) If the current system user needs to adjust the system's processing capacity, he can manually adjust the "raw coal flow" input value;
[0108] (2) If the user of the current system needs to adjust the "moisture content of dried coal", he can manually adjust the input values of "steam pressure" and "temperature of dried coal in discharge box". The higher the values, the lower the moisture content.
[0109] (3) "Raw gas pressure" is one of the basic conditions to ensure the normal operation of the rotary pyrolysis furnace. Its value usually remains unchanged after setting. The user of the current system can manually adjust the value between 0 and 500 Pa as needed;
[0110] (4) If the user of the current system needs to adjust the product quality (including the yield and quality indicators of coal gas, tar and semi-coke, which require manual regular testing and judgment), the "hot air inlet bellows temperature" and "semi-coke discharge temperature" can be manually adjusted. The values of the two directly determine the product quality;
[0111] Production can be carried out after the above manual adjustment input action is completed. During the production process, the low-grade coal pyrolysis control system will automatically adjust. During this process, the nitrogen shut-off valve will be opened through alarm and interlock after exceeding the limit value, which are all basic safety protection operations of the system.
