Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil smoldering control technology, and specifically to a control method for oil smoldering disposal in a pile. Background Technology
[0002] Oily sludge, a typical byproduct of the petroleum industry, has attracted significant attention in environmental engineering due to its complex composition and difficult treatment. Common oily sludge treatment technologies include physical separation, thermal conversion, biological treatment, solidification and landfill, solvent extraction, and incineration. However, all these technologies have their own limitations. The smoldering method for treating oily sludge offers several advantages: firstly, it demonstrates significant energy self-sufficiency, reducing dependence on external heat sources through energy transfer and conversion during combustion wave propagation; secondly, it improves pollutant control, as the unique gas-solid mass transfer conditions in the combustion zone effectively suppress harmful gases easily generated during conventional incineration; and thirdly, it improves the environmental compatibility of the treated residue, showing greater stability in key indicators such as leaching toxicity. Therefore, the use of smoldering technology for oily sludge treatment is gradually being adopted. However, existing smoldering technologies still suffer from low fuel efficiency, long combustion times, and high costs. This invention provides a control method for smoldering oily sludge pile disposal to address these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a control method for the smoldering disposal of oil sludge piles, which controls the smoldering process to keep it under the most suitable operating conditions.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for controlling smoldering in oil sludge piles includes the following steps: S1, Fuel Mixing: Mix oil sludge and quartz sand according to a set ratio to form fuel; S2, Parameter Acquisition: Acquire various parameters of the fuel and determine the control parameters of the smoldering process based on the fuel parameters; S3, Preparation before ignition: Place the mixed fuel in the smoldering chamber to form a fuel pile, and set a temperature measuring point in the fuel pile; S4, Ignition and Combustion: The bottom of the fuel pile is heated in a gradient to ignite it, and the temperature change of the fuel pile is monitored in real time. Once the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited, gas is supplied from the bottom of the fuel pile to keep it burning. S5, Smoldering Self-Sustaining: After successful ignition, ignition is stopped and smoldering enters self-sustaining mode. At the same time, the gas supply is adjusted to control smoldering, so that combustion is always at the highest combustion efficiency to achieve the shortest combustion time, or the most economical gas supply is adopted to achieve the lowest cost. S6, End of Smoldering: After the smoldering ends through real-time temperature monitoring, gas supply is stopped. After the fuel pile has completely cooled and extinguished, the waste from the combustion is cleaned up, completing one smoldering process.
[0005] 2. The control method for smoldering disposal of oil sludge piles according to claim 1, characterized in that: in step S2, various parameters of the fuel are collected and tested, and the ignition layer thickness, make-up air point and make-up air speed are determined based on the fuel parameters.
[0006] Furthermore, the ignition layer thickness is the ignition thickness achieved in step S4 when the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited by gradient heating with fuel gas, and is determined by the following formula: , The thickness of the ignition layer is 2*( ), In the formula, : Smoldering front position, i.e., the position of the exothermic front or the position where the material just reaches the ignition point, its value is the minimum smoldering thickness, m; Location of the hot spot in the combustion zone, or the location of the peak smoldering temperature, in meters (m). Heat release rate per unit volume of material, kJ / ( ·s); Material density, kg / ; Specific heat capacity of the material, kJ / (kg·℃); : Smoldering peak propagation speed, m / s; Ignition temperature, also known as flash point, is the temperature at the smoldering front when the flame is turned off, in °C. Peak smoldering temperature, °C; : Conductive heat flux density at (kJ / ( ·s).
[0007] Furthermore, when measured Once the temperature at the point reaches the ignition point To, it is considered that the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited. The moment when air is introduced into the smoldering body for makeup air is called the makeup air point. The makeup air rate at the makeup air point is determined by the following formula: , The air supply point should be selected slightly below... The make-up air velocity is used for make-up air supply, and in the formula... Pick Perform calculations. In the formula, Airflow velocity when air is introduced The maximum value, m / s; : Air velocity when air is introduced, m / s; Air density, kg / ; Specific heat capacity of air, kJ / (kg·℃); The mass fraction of oxygen in the air, dimensionless, and this value is a constant; Heat released per unit (kg) of oxygen consumed, expressed in kJ. The proportion of air in the voids of a smoldering body, dimensionless; Given a fixed mass of oil sludge, the total theoretical air velocity required for the complete smoldering oxidation of the main elements such as C, H, N, and S is given in m / s.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S5, the temperature is measured in real time. When the temperature at the point reaches the ignition point To, a smoldering front forms on the fuel pile, ignition is successful, and then ignition is stopped.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S5, the shortest combustion time is achieved when combustion is consistently at its highest efficiency, meaning the fuel maintains its maximum smoldering rate. Combustion will achieve the shortest combustion time. To ensure that combustion remains at its highest efficiency, the airflow needs to be controlled. To take control; Inlet air volume ,when < < hour, along with Increase and increase; when ≤ < hour, along with Increase and decrease; when At that time, the smoldering body has the maximum exothermic heat flux. At this point, the maximum smoldering rate is reached. ; , , The calculation formula is as follows: In the formula, Airflow velocity when air is introduced The maximum value, m / s; Theoretical maximum smoldering velocity, m / s; : Thermal conductivity of oil sludge, kJ / (m·s); Heat loss during smoldering process, kJ / ( ·s); : The distance between the smoldering front and the smoldering peak temperature surface, in meters; The amount of oxygen required to burn 1 kg of oil sludge. ; Temperature at infinity from the furnace bottom, i.e., ambient temperature, in °C; Heat absorbed per unit mass of material, kJ / kg; Mass of all oil sludge in the smoldering pile, kg; : The bottom area of the smoldering pile. ; : Volume fraction of oxygen in the air, dimensionless, this value is a constant; : Height of smoldering material or the height of the interval from smoldering to spontaneous extinguishing, in meters; Smoldering time, seconds.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S5, the energy consumption for air supply comes from the power consumption of the blower. Power consumption for This is the most economical operating condition. Determined by the following formula: In the formula, Fan power, Kw; The range of values is Calculate Within range The air volume at this time is ,use The most economical operating condition is when air is being supplied.
[0011] Furthermore, the maximum smoldering speed It is related to the water content and oil content of the fuel; the higher the oil content, the better. The larger the size, the lower the moisture content. The larger.
[0012] Furthermore, the maximum smoldering speed It is also related to the fuel particle size. The smaller the fuel particle size, the more difficult it is for air to pass through. However, the larger the fuel particle size, the lower the surface combustion efficiency and the longer the total combustion time. The appropriate fuel particle size can be selected through combustion experiments.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S6, the theoretical air supply volume is used. When air is supplied, if the temperature at the top of the fuel pile no longer rises or begins to drop, it is considered that smoldering has ended.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Based on the inherent parameters of the oil sludge fuel, the parameters that affect the combustion process during smoldering are obtained. Then, by controlling these parameters, the smoldering process is controlled, so that the smoldering process is at the highest combustion efficiency or the most economical condition. Alternatively, appropriate parameters can be selected according to the specific operating conditions to balance efficiency and cost, thus ensuring the treatment effect of smoldering in treating oil sludge.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0018] This invention relates to the control of the smoldering process in the treatment of oily sludge using a stack-type smoldering self-sustaining disposal system. There are generally two treatment methods for oily sludge: one is to maintain combustion at maximum efficiency after ignition to shorten treatment time, primarily used for rapid treatment of large quantities of oily sludge; the other is to control the airflow after ignition, ensuring the air supply equipment operates at its optimal condition while meeting smoldering requirements. This method offers the lowest cost and is suitable for energy-efficient treatment of small quantities of oily sludge.
[0019] The smoldering process includes the ignition stage, the smoldering stage, and the end and extinguishing of smoldering. Controlling the ignition stage allows the fuel to be ignited quickly and enter the smoldering stage more rapidly. Controlling the smoldering stage to keep it at the highest combustion efficiency or the most economical operating condition is achieved by controlling the amount of air introduced. When the oil content of the oily sludge decreases to the target value after combustion, it indicates that the smoldering has ended. Then, external means are used to extinguish the smoldering body, thus ending the smoldering process.
[0020] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this invention controls the smoldering process of a self-sustaining smoldering disposal system. The device for achieving smoldering in the self-sustaining smoldering disposal system is a smoldering chamber, which includes a smoldering chamber 1, a stack plate 2, an air supply structure 3, an ignition structure 4, and thermometers 5. The stack plate 2 is placed on the bottom plate of the smoldering chamber 1, and the fuel is placed on the stack plate 2. The air supply structure 3 and the ignition structure 4 are located below the stack plate 2. The ignition structure 4 is used to ignite the fuel, and the air supply structure 3 is used to supply air, so that the combustion is maintained at the highest combustion efficiency or the most economical condition. The thermometers 5 are horizontally spaced in the smoldering chamber 1 to monitor the temperature inside the fuel in real time.
[0021] Ignition structure 4 is horizontally and evenly arranged below stack plate 2, with ignition heads evenly spaced 250mm apart. It uses gas ignition. The air supply structure 3 includes a blower and an air supply pipe. The air supply pipe is horizontally and evenly arranged below ignition structure 4. The air supply pipe has openings around its perimeter at 500mm intervals, with a diameter of 10mm.
[0022] The thermometers 5 are arranged in an upper and lower layer, with each layer consisting of multiple horizontally arranged thermometers 5. They are used to monitor the temperature at various heights inside the fuel pile in real time, thereby determining the combustion height and degree, and then adjusting the air supply structure 3 to control the smoldering process.
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a method for controlling smoldering in oil sludge piles includes the following steps: S1, Fuel Mixing: Mix oil sludge and quartz sand according to a set ratio to form fuel with a calorific value of 8500KJ / kg; S2, Parameter Acquisition: Acquire various parameters of the fuel and determine the control parameters of the smoldering process based on the fuel parameters; The control parameters include ignition layer thickness, air supply point, and air supply speed. Ignition layer thickness affects the efficiency of smoldering after the fuel is ignited. When an appropriate ignition layer thickness is used, the fuel in the ignition layer can enter the smoldering stage more quickly after being ignited, and the smoldering can reach the maximum combustion efficiency more quickly. Air supply point and air supply speed affect the ignition of the fuel. Appropriate air supply point and air supply speed can ignite the fuel in the ignition layer more quickly and stably, and enable it to ignite the fuel above more quickly, thereby entering the smoldering self-sustaining state more quickly. S3, Preparation before ignition: Place the mixed fuel in the smoldering chamber to form a fuel pile, and set a temperature measuring point in the fuel pile; S4, Ignition and Combustion: The bottom of the fuel pile is heated in a gradient to ignite it, and the temperature change of the fuel pile is monitored in real time. Once the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited, gas is supplied from the bottom of the fuel pile to keep it burning. S5, Smoldering Self-Sustaining: After the formation of a smoldering front in the fuel pile is detected by real-time temperature monitoring, ignition is stopped and smoldering enters self-sustaining mode. At the same time, the gas supply is adjusted to control the smoldering, so that the combustion is always at the highest combustion efficiency to achieve the shortest combustion time, or the most economical gas supply is adopted to achieve the lowest cost. S6, End of Smoldering: After the smoldering ends through real-time temperature monitoring, gas supply is stopped. After the fuel pile has completely cooled and extinguished, the waste from the combustion is cleaned up, completing one smoldering process.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the ignition layer thickness is the ignition thickness in step S4 when the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited by gradient heating with gas, and is determined by the following formula: , The thickness of the ignition layer is 2*( ), In the formula, : Smoldering front position, i.e., the position of the exothermic front or the position where the material just reaches the ignition point, its value is the minimum smoldering thickness, m; Location of the hot spot in the combustion zone, or the location of the peak smoldering temperature, in meters (m). Heat release rate per unit volume of material, kJ / ( This value (·s) was obtained by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), and the heat release rate was measured under constant ignition temperature conditions. Material density, kg / This value is the density, obtained through experimental measurement; Specific heat capacity of the material, kJ / (kg·℃), this value is obtained by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC); : Smoldering peak propagation speed, i.e., actual smoldering speed, m / s. This value is calculated by the ratio of the straight-line distance between two adjacent thermocouples to the time difference between them reaching the peak temperature. : Ignition temperature, also known as the flash point temperature, is the temperature at the smoldering front when the flame is turned off, in °C. This value is obtained by measuring a thermocouple. : Smoldering peak temperature, °C, this value is obtained by thermocouple measurement; : Conductive heat flux density at (kJ / ( (·s), this value is obtained by taking sludge samples and measuring them using a heat flow meter.
[0025] Furthermore, in Place, Place and A thermometer 5 is installed 15cm above the thermometer for real-time temperature monitoring.
[0026] Furthermore, when measured Once the temperature at the point reaches the ignition point To, the ignition layer at the bottom of the fuel pile is considered to be ignited. The moment when air is introduced into the smoldering body after the ignition layer at the bottom of the fuel pile is ignited is called the air supply point. Air is supplied to the ignition layer at the air supply point at the air supply speed, which intensifies the combustion of fuel in the ignition layer, accelerates the heat release, and can ignite the fuel above it, thus initiating the smoldering process.
[0027] The air supply velocity at the air supply point is determined by the following formula: , At the air replenishment point, the air volume is 95%-98%. The make-up air velocity is used for make-up air supply, and in the formula... Pick Perform calculations. In the formula, Airflow velocity when air is introduced The maximum value, m / s, is obtained through theoretical calculations; : Air velocity when air is introduced, m / s; Air density, kg / This value is a constant; Specific heat capacity of air, kJ / (kg·℃), this value is a constant; The mass fraction of oxygen in the air, dimensionless, and this value is a constant; : The amount of heat released per unit (kg) of oxygen consumed, in kJ. This value is obtained by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). The air content in the smoldering body voids is dimensionless. This value is determined by taking undisturbed samples within the bed and calculating the pressure drop. Given a fixed mass of oil sludge, the total theoretical air velocity required for the complete smoldering oxidation of major elements such as C, H, N, and S, in m / s, is calculated based on the proportion of each element in the fuel.
[0028] Furthermore, when measured Once the temperature reaches the ignition point To, a smoldering front forms on the fuel pile, indicating successful ignition. This means that the fuel in the combustion zone will spontaneously ignite the fuel in the unburned zone above, and the smoldering will enter a self-sustaining mode, burning the entire fuel pile completely from bottom to top. At this point, the ignition structure is shut off, ignition stops, and the fuel enters a smoldering self-sustaining state.
[0029] Furthermore, in step S5, during the smoldering process, the combustion efficiency can only be adjusted by controlling the air volume, and there is a minimum value for the introduced air volume. Air volume less than At that time, insufficient oxygen supply and insufficient heat of combustion prevent smoldering from continuing, leading to extinguishing the flame. The air volume is greater than [a certain value]. Afterwards, smoldering can sustain combustion, and as the air volume increases, it will eventually reach the theoretical air volume. At this point, oxygen supply and heat release are in balance, and smoldering reaches its highest combustion efficiency. Then, as the airflow continues to increase, excess oxygen and higher air velocity carry away combustion heat, causing the fuel to cool and combustion efficiency to decrease. When the heat carried away by the airflow exceeds 10% of the released heat, insufficient heat transfer to the fuel leads to smoldering extinguishing. At this point, the airflow reaches its maximum value. Therefore, the air volume needs to be... and between.
[0030] Furthermore, in step S5, the shortest combustion time is achieved when combustion is consistently at its highest efficiency, meaning the fuel maintains its maximum smoldering rate. Combustion will achieve the shortest combustion time. To ensure that combustion remains at its highest efficiency, the airflow needs to be controlled. To take control.
[0031] Inlet air volume ,when < < hour, along with Increase and increase; when ≤ < hour, along with Increase and decrease; when At that time, the smoldering body has the maximum exothermic heat flux. At this point, the maximum smoldering rate is reached. .
[0032] , , The calculation formula is as follows: In the formula, Airflow velocity when air is introduced The minimum value, m / s, is obtained through theoretical calculation; Theoretical maximum smoldering velocity, m / s, is obtained through theoretical derivation; : Thermal conductivity coefficient of oily sludge, kJ / (m·s), this value was obtained by taking undisturbed soil of the filler and measuring it with a heat flow meter; Heat loss during smoldering process, kJ / ( This value (·s) is derived from the heat loss of the reactor structure and the heat loss of the air. : The distance between the smoldering front and the smoldering peak temperature surface, in meters. This value is obtained by measuring the spacing of the thermocouples. The amount of oxygen required to burn 1 kg of oil sludge. This value was obtained through elemental analysis and calculation. : Temperature at infinity from the furnace bottom, i.e., ambient temperature, °C, which is obtained by measuring an ambient thermometer; Heat absorbed per unit mass of material, kJ / kg, is obtained by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). : The total mass of oil sludge in the smoldering pile, in kg, which is obtained by weighing; : The bottom area of the smoldering pile. This value was obtained through measurement and calculation; : Volume fraction of oxygen in the air, dimensionless, this value is a constant; : Height of smoldering body or the height of the interval from smoldering to natural extinguishment, in meters (m). This value is obtained through measurement. Smoldering time, which is the time required for the combustible material to burn completely, in seconds. This value is measured by timing.
[0033] Furthermore, in step S5, the energy consumption for air supply comes from the power consumption of the blower. Power consumption for This is the most economical operating condition. Determined by the following formula: In the formula, Fan power, Kw; The range of values is Calculate Within range The air volume at this time is ,use The most economical operating condition is when air is being supplied.
[0034] In practical applications, the airflow rate is always at the point where combustion is at its highest efficiency. and the intake air volume under the most economical operating conditions As a control zone for airflow, the incoming airflow should be controlled within a certain range. and between.
[0035] Furthermore, in step S6, the theoretical air supply volume is used. When air is supplied, if the temperature at the top of the fuel pile no longer rises or begins to fall, the oil content of the fuel is considered to be below 3‰, and smoldering is considered to have ended. The end of smoldering is verified by changing the air supply. If the temperature at the top of the fuel pile remains at a state of no longer rising or beginning to fall when the air supply is changed, then smoldering is considered to have ended. After confirming that smoldering has ended, the fuel is extinguished by means such as spraying or accelerated ventilation. The smoldering is extinguished, and the entire smoldering process ends.
[0036] Furthermore, the temperature measurement point during ignition testing is set at... and These locations are used to confirm successful ignition and successful entry into smoldering mode, respectively.
[0037] Furthermore, the maximum smoldering speed It is related to the water content and oil content of the fuel. The higher the oil content, the more heat is released during combustion, and the higher the peak combustion temperature. The larger the size, the lower the water content, and the less heat is absorbed during water evaporation, which also makes... The larger.
[0038] Furthermore, the maximum smoldering speed It is also related to fuel particle size. The smaller the fuel particle size, the more difficult it is for air to pass through. However, the larger the fuel particle size, the lower the surface combustion efficiency and the longer the total combustion time. A suitable fuel particle size is selected through combustion experiments. Specifically, combustion experiments with fuels of different particle sizes are conducted in a muffle furnace to obtain the complete combustion time for different particle sizes, thus obtaining the combustion rate of fuels with different particle sizes. In the specific selection, a combustion rate higher than the maximum smoldering rate is chosen. The fuel particle size.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
