Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of boiler hydrogen and oxygen blending combustion technology, specifically relating to a utilization system and method for hydrogen and oxygen production from coal-fired power plants coupled with renewable power generation and boiler hydrogen and oxygen blending combustion. Background Technology
[0002] Under the "dual carbon" goal, wind and solar renewable energy are developing on a large scale. However, due to natural conditions, their power generation is fluctuating and intermittent. After a large number of units are connected to the grid, coal-fired power plants need to flexibly regulate peak loads to ensure grid stability. Furthermore, most coal-fired power plants burn low-quality coal with high ash and low volatile matter content. This type of coal is difficult to ignite and burns unstably, resulting in low efficiency and an inability to meet rapid load changes, thus limiting peak load regulation capabilities. However, hydrogen has a fast combustion speed and low ignition point, and there is ample space around coal-fired power plants, making it suitable for the construction of photovoltaic power plants. The green electricity generated by the photovoltaic power plant can be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen and oxygen, forming a coupled system. This can both absorb photovoltaic power and improve the stability and load-changing capacity of coal-fired boilers, contributing to the low-carbon energy transition.
[0003] Regarding hydrogen-blended combustion methods for coal-fired boilers, Chinese patent application CN119436120A discloses a coal-hydrogen co-combustion boiler system and a method for co-combusting hydrogen in a coal-fired boiler. This method involves arranging a hydrogen combustion unit below the pulverized coal combustion unit to co-combust hydrogen into the coal-fired boiler. However, its placement is too simplistic and cannot meet the requirements of coal-fired boilers under different loads, nor is it applicable to all boiler types. Chinese patent application CN119934515A discloses a flue gas recirculation hydrogen-blended combustion peak-shaving and stable combustion system and method. This system uses water electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen, which is then incorporated into the furnace to achieve stable, safe, and cost-effective boiler combustion during deep air adjustment. However, its flue gas-hydrogen burner design results in an excessively wide explosive concentration range for hydrogen, leading to lower safety during co-combustion. Furthermore, hydrogen's ability to compete for oxygen is far greater than that of flue gas, causing incomplete combustion of the flue gas and exacerbating environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a utilization system and method for a coal-fired power plant coupled with renewable energy generation for hydrogen and oxygen production and boiler combustion with added hydrogen and oxygen, in order to solve the technical problems of poor coal combustion stability and weak load-changing capacity in power plants.

Both the oxygen-blending pipeline and the hydrogen-blending pipeline are equipped with flow regulators to ensure that when the power generation of renewable power generation devices such as wind and solar power is unstable, the flow rate of blended hydrogen and oxygen fluctuates by no more than 3-8%.
[0009] Furthermore, the oxygen blending system includes a primary air oxygen blending system and a secondary air oxygen blending system; The primary air oxygenation system includes a primary air electric valve, a primary air manual valve, a primary air nozzle, an oxygenation electric valve, an oxygenation manual valve, an oxygenation filter, an oxygen flow meter, an oxygen pressure gauge, and an oxygen concentration sensor.

[0013] This invention also discloses a method for the co-firing of hydrogen and oxygen in a coal-fired power plant coupled with renewable energy generation for hydrogen and oxygen production and then combustion in a boiler, comprising the following steps: A portion of the hydrogen produced by electrolysis in the renewable power generation unit is fed into the hydrogen burner in a coal-fired boiler for in-furnace co-firing, while the remaining hydrogen is fed into a methanol synthesis unit for methanol synthesis. A portion of the oxygen produced by electrolysis in the renewable power generation unit is fed into the pulverized coal burner in a coal-fired boiler for in-furnace co-firing, while the remaining oxygen is fed into a methanol burner. The products generated after in-furnace co-firing in the coal-fired boiler sequentially pass through a desulfurization unit, a flue gas moisture recovery unit, and a carbon capture and nitrogen co-production unit. A portion of the nitrogen produced by the carbon capture and nitrogen co-production unit is used as an industrial protective gas, while the remaining nitrogen is connected to a nitrogen purging unit as a purging gas. The flue gas water recovered from the tail end of the flue gas moisture recovery unit serves as the water source for the water electrolysis unit. The desulfurization wastewater from the desulfurization unit serves as the water source for the water electrolysis unit. The demineralized water obtained by the demineralization device is used as the water source for the water electrolysis device. The aforementioned system also includes a co-firing system; The co-firing system includes: an oxygen co-firing system and a hydrogen co-firing system; the oxygen co-firing system includes a primary air oxygen co-firing system and a secondary air oxygen co-firing system. The method of oxygen co-firing using an oxygen co-firing system is as follows: When the coal-fired boiler is running at low load, the oxygen generated by the water electrolysis device enters the primary air oxygen co-firing system and the secondary air oxygen co-firing system, and is mixed with the primary air or secondary air in the coal-fired boiler. The method of using a hydrogen co-firing system is as follows: when the coal-fired boiler needs to maintain stable combustion at low load or burn low-quality coal, the hydrogen generated by the water electrolysis device enters the hydrogen co-firing system and then enters the hydrogen burner. At medium and high loads, part of the hydrogen generated by the water electrolysis device is still co-fired into the hydrogen burner, and the other part of the hydrogen is used as reburning fuel for NOx reduction. The temperature of the primary air in the methanol burner is 110℃-160℃, and the temperature of the secondary air is 300℃-420℃. A flame-retardant strip is laid around the methanol burner; the shape of the flame-retardant strip includes, but is not limited to, circular or square shapes.
[0014] Furthermore, the coal-fired boiler is a tangentially corner boiler, a W-type flame boiler, a front and rear wall opposed-flow boiler, or a circulating fluidized bed boiler. When the coal-fired boiler is a tangentially corner boiler, the hydrogen burner is placed below any one or more of the primary air nozzles in layers A, B, C, D, E, and F at the four corners of the coal-fired boiler, or between the secondary air nozzle in layer FF and the SOFA air nozzle. The hydrogen burner is tilted 1-3° to the left, and the diameter of the resulting imaginary tangential circle is 30-50mm smaller than the original imaginary tangential circle diameter of the primary air. The methanol burner is tilted 3-6° to the left based on the original tilt angle of the pulverized coal burner, and the diameter of the resulting imaginary tangential circle is between the original imaginary tangential circle diameter of the primary air and the ideal tangential circle diameter of the hydrogen. The methanol burner is placed in the coal-fired boiler... The sidewall is located 1.5-2.5 meters from the four corners and at the same height as the primary air nozzle. When the coal-fired boiler is a W-type flame boiler, the hydrogen burner is placed in the pulverized coal nozzle area on the furnace arch or above the uppermost secondary air nozzle. The methanol burner is arranged in the sidewall area at the same height as the pulverized coal nozzle. When the coal-fired boiler is a front and rear wall opposed boiler, the hydrogen burner is located between the lowest burnout air and the uppermost pulverized coal burner or arranged on the sidewall at the same height as the two lower pulverized coal burners. The methanol burner is arranged between any two adjacent pulverized coal burners. When the coal-fired boiler is a circulating fluidized bed boiler, the hydrogen burner is located at the height of the front and rear wall coal-feeding air or between the coal-feeding air and the lower secondary air. The methanol burner is arranged between any two adjacent coal-feeding air nozzles. Considering the location of the hydrogen burner and the location of oxygen co-firing, when the coal-fired boiler is a tangentially oriented boiler, if the hydrogen burner is located below the primary air nozzle of any one of the four corner layers A, B, C, D, E, F, or below any combination of 2-3 primary air nozzles from layers A, B, C, D, E, F, then oxygen is co-fired into the secondary air nozzles of the adjacent one or two layers. If the hydrogen burner is located between the secondary air nozzle of layer FF and the SOFA air nozzle, then oxygen is co-fired only into the primary air nozzle. When the coal-fired boiler is a W-type flame boiler, if the hydrogen burner is placed within the coal-fired boiler... If the location is the pulverized coal nozzle area on the furnace arch, then oxygen is mixed into the pulverized coal nozzle; if the hydrogen burner is arranged above the uppermost secondary air nozzle, then oxygen is mixed into the pulverized coal nozzle; when the coal-fired boiler is a front and rear wall opposed boiler, and the hydrogen burner is located between the lowermost burnout air and the uppermost pulverized coal burner, then oxygen is mixed into the primary air or secondary air; if the hydrogen burner is located on the side wall at the same height as the lower two layers of pulverized coal burners, then oxygen is mixed into the lower two layers of pulverized coal burners; when the coal-fired boiler is a circulating fluidized bed boiler, oxygen is mixed into the fluidized air box, the coal spreading air nozzle, or the upper secondary air nozzle. Without considering the location of the hydrogen burner, the oxygen co-firing location is as follows: When the coal-fired boiler is a tangentially oriented boiler, all oxygen is co-fired into the bottom one or two bottom primary air layers, or into the next one, two, or three bottom secondary air layers, or into the next 1-2 bottom primary air layers and the next 1-3 bottom secondary air layers respectively; When the coal-fired boiler is a W-type flame boiler, all oxygen is co-fired into the pulverized coal nozzles, or into the next 1-2 top secondary air layers, or into the pulverized coal nozzles and any one layer of secondary air; When the coal-fired boiler is a front and rear wall opposed boiler, all oxygen is co-fired into the next 1-2 bottom pulverized coal burners, or into the burnout air; When the coal-fired boiler is a circulating fluidized bed boiler, all oxygen is co-fired into the coal spreading air, or into two layers of secondary air, or into the fluidized air box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention discloses a utilization system for a coal-fired power plant coupled with renewable energy generation for hydrogen and oxygen production, followed by hydrogen and oxygen blending and combustion in a boiler. By utilizing the high energy density and easy combustibility of hydrogen, it is blended with low-quality coal in the power plant, enabling faster and more complete combustion of the low-quality coal, increasing its utilization rate, and achieving peak and frequency regulation requirements more quickly, thus reducing power generation costs. Through water electrolysis technology, water is decomposed to generate high-purity oxygen. Utilizing oxygen for combustion, due to its high purity, it mixes more evenly with the fuel, ensuring sufficient contact during combustion, resulting in more complete combustion and more efficient energy release. Simultaneously, a stable oxygen supply ensures continuous and stable combustion within the furnace, improving combustion efficiency and stability.
[0016] Furthermore, this invention utilizes the proximity of renewable energy power plants such as wind and solar power to coal-fired power plants, using surplus electricity from these sources within and around the plant for hydrogen and oxygen production via water electrolysis. The resulting hydrogen and oxygen are then transported directly to the boiler in gaseous form over short distances for co-firing, thus solving the problems of high costs and liquefaction difficulties associated with long-distance hydrogen transportation.
[0017] Furthermore, in this invention, the carbon capture and nitrogen co-production device efficiently separates the generated carbon dioxide and nitrogen after combustion in the furnace. The collected carbon dioxide can be transported to oil fields for oil displacement operations to improve oil recovery. It can also react with hydrogen to produce methanol, which can be used not only in industrial production but also to replace a portion of the coal fed into coal-fired boilers as fuel, thereby achieving effective utilization of greenhouse gases. The collected nitrogen can be used as a protective gas in other processes or reintroduced into hydrogen-blended coal-fired boilers to purge hydrogen-blended pipelines and reduce the risks of hydrogen-blended combustion.
[0018] Furthermore, this invention introduces hydrogen as an auxiliary fuel, leveraging its high calorific value and environmentally friendly combustion products, which contrasts sharply with traditional ammonia-blended combustion technology. During combustion, the synergistic effect of hydrogen and fuel significantly optimizes the combustion path, effectively suppressing the formation of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and substantially reducing the content of harmful substances in the combustion products. Simultaneously, the rapid combustion characteristics of hydrogen ensure more complete contact between fuel and oxygen, significantly improving combustion efficiency and enhancing the sustainability and stability of the combustion reaction. This opens up new technological pathways for improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This invention provides a utilization system for a coal-fired power plant coupled with renewable power generation for hydrogen and oxygen production and boiler combustion with added hydrogen and oxygen. The system mainly includes a renewable power generation device (such as wind and solar power) around the plant 1, an electrolysis water device 2, a coal-fired boiler 3, a demineralized water device 4, a desulfurization device 5, a flue gas moisture recovery device 6, a carbon capture and nitrogen co-production device 7, a methanol synthesis device 8, a methanol burner 9, a pulverized coal burner 10, a hydrogen burner 11, and a nitrogen purging unit 12. The power transmission ends of the renewable power generation devices 1 (wind, solar, etc.) around the plant are connected to one end of the water electrolysis unit 2 via DC transmission cables. One end of the hydrogen production end of the water electrolysis unit 2 is connected to the hydrogen burner 11 in the coal-fired boiler 3 via a hydrogen blending pipeline, and the other end is connected to one end of the methanol synthesis unit 8 via a hydrogen transmission pipeline. One end of the oxygen production end of the water electrolysis unit 2 is connected to the primary or secondary air duct of the pulverized coal burner 10 in the coal-fired boiler 3 via an oxygen blending pipeline, and the other end is connected to the methanol burner 9 in the coal-fired boiler 3 via an oxygen blending pipeline. The tail flue of the coal-fired boiler 3 is connected to one end of the desulfurization unit 5 via a flue gas pipeline. The other end of the desulfurization unit 5 is connected to one end of the flue gas moisture recovery unit 6, and the other end of the flue gas moisture recovery unit 6 is connected to the carbon capture and nitrogen production unit 7.

The green electricity generated by the renewable power generation unit 1, using wind and solar power, is used in the water electrolysis unit 2 to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Part of the hydrogen is used for in-furnace co-firing, and the oxygen is added to the primary or secondary air ducts to increase the oxygen content. The tail gas from the coal-fired boiler 3 enters the carbon capture and nitrogen co-production unit 7 to separate nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The separated high-purity carbon dioxide is not limited to its use in synthesizing methanol with another portion of the hydrogen, for oilfield flooding, or for oxygen-enriched combustion in the furnace. The separated high-purity nitrogen is not limited to its use in purging hydrogen pipelines, preventing hydrogen explosions, or as a protective gas in other processes. The methanol in the methanol synthesis unit 8 can replace a portion of the coal fed into the coal-fired boiler 3 as fuel. The water electrolysis unit 2 also transmits the electricity generated in the renewable power generation unit 1 to the plant's residential electrical equipment 14 via transformers and power lines.
[0023] Preferably, the co-firing system includes an oxygen co-firing system and a hydrogen co-firing system. The oxygen co-firing system mainly includes: a primary air electric valve 11-1, a primary air manual valve 11-2, a secondary air electric valve 11-3, a secondary air manual valve 11-4, a primary air nozzle 17, a secondary air nozzle 21, an oxygen-blending electric valve 13-1, an oxygen-blending manual valve 13-2, an oxygen-blending filter 14-1, an oxygen flow meter 16-1, an oxygen pressure gauge 15-1, and an oxygen concentration sensor 12-1. Primary air passes through the primary air electric valve 11-1 and the primary air manual valve 11-2, and then reaches the primary air nozzle 17 before being injected into the furnace. Secondary air passes through the secondary air electric valve 11-3 and the secondary air manual valve 11-4, and then reaches the secondary air nozzle 21 before being injected into the furnace. Meanwhile, oxygen from an external oxygen source is filtered sequentially through an oxygen blending electric valve 13-1, an oxygen blending manual valve 13-2, and an oxygen blending filter 14-1. After the flow rate is measured by an oxygen flow meter 16-1 and the pressure is monitored by an oxygen pressure gauge 15-1, the oxygen is combined with the primary or secondary air duct and blended into the primary or secondary air.

Purge gas passes sequentially through purge gas first electric valve 19-1, purge gas first manual valve 19-2, purge gas second electric valve 19-3, and purge gas second manual valve 19-4 before merging with the hydrogen pipeline to purge it. Hydrogen electric valve 18-1 and the manual valve control the on / off state and flow rate; hydrogen filter 14-2 filters impurities; hydrogen flow meter 16-2 measures the flow rate; hydrogen concentration sensor 12-2 monitors the concentration; and hydrogen pressure gauge 15-2 monitors the pressure.
[0024] The oxygen co-firing method used in the system is as follows: When the boiler is running at medium and low loads, the oxygen generated by the water electrolysis device 2 enters the oxygen blending pipeline, and the oxygen flows through the oxygen blending pipeline into the boiler's primary air duct or secondary air duct to be mixed with the boiler's primary or secondary air. After the oxygen is mixed with the primary or secondary air, the increase in the oxygen volume concentration is between 1% and 6%. The hydrogen co-firing method is as follows: When it is necessary to start up the boiler, maintain stable combustion at low loads, or burn low-quality coal, the hydrogen generated by the water electrolysis device 2 enters the hydrogen blending pipeline, and the hydrogen is sent from the hydrogen blending pipeline to the hydrogen burner 11 arranged on the lower furnace water-cooled wall side. At medium and high loads, part of the hydrogen generated by the water electrolysis device 2 is still blended into the hydrogen burner 11 on the lower furnace water-cooled wall side, and the other part of the hydrogen is blended into the hydrogen burner 11 on the upper furnace water-cooled wall side as reburning fuel for NOx reduction.
[0025] Furthermore, the electrical energy for the water electrolysis unit 2 comes from, but is not limited to, plant-use photovoltaic units or wind turbine units, and all renewable energy power generation devices are located within or around the plant. The water in the water electrolysis unit 2 comes from, but is not limited to, seawater around the plant, demineralized water from the coal-fired unit 4, circulating water, wet desulfurization wastewater from the desulfurization unit 5, or water recovered from the flue gas by the flue gas recovery unit 6, which recovers water from the tail flue gas of pure coal combustion, coal-hydrogen co-combustion, and coal-hydrogen-methanol combustion in coal-fired boilers.
[0026] Preferably, the temperature of the primary air in the methanol burner 9 is 110℃-160℃, and the temperature of the secondary air is 300℃-420℃. Furthermore, a flame-retardant strip is laid around the methanol burner 9, and the shape of the flame-retardant strip is not limited to circular, square, or other shapes.
[0027] This invention also discloses the above-mentioned method for hydrogen and oxygen production from coal-fired power plants coupled with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, followed by hydrogen and oxygen blending combustion in boilers. A high-precision pressure transmitter and flow sensor are installed on the oxygen blending pipeline to monitor the pressure and flow parameters during oxygen delivery in real time, ensuring consistent parameters for the supplied oxygen. The primary or secondary air blending pipeline receives oxygen mixed with the primary or secondary air, calculated based on the fuel required for combustion in the coal-fired boiler 3, controlled by an intelligent regulating valve. A high-sensitivity hydrogen leak detection probe is installed in the hydrogen blending pipeline to ensure safe hydrogen delivery. During combustion, the hydrogen is precisely metered by a high-precision mass flow controller based on the boiler load and combustion conditions, and then sent to the hydrogen burner 11 for combustion.
[0028] Preferably, before hydrogen combustion, a nitrogen purging unit 12 is used to ensure that no residual combustible gas accumulates in the boiler furnace and to prevent safety accidents such as hydrogen explosions. This unit uses nitrogen collected after nitrogen production from carbon capture as the purging medium. The purging process strictly follows these steps: First, all hydrogen supply valves are closed to ensure that the hydrogen source is isolated from the furnace; then, the nitrogen purging valves are opened, allowing nitrogen to enter the furnace through a dedicated purging pipe at a flow rate of ≥15 m / s. The purging continues until the volume concentration of combustible gas in the furnace is reduced to below the lower explosive limit before oxygen and hydrogen are sequentially introduced for combustion.

[0033] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a utilization system for a coal-fired power plant coupled with renewable energy power generation for hydrogen and oxygen production, followed by hydrogen and oxygen blending and combustion in a boiler. The renewable energy power generation devices, such as wind and solar power plants, are located near the coal-fired power plant, which is close to the sea. The green electricity generated by the renewable energy power generation devices 1 around the plant is used to electrolyze seawater in a water electrolysis device 2 to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting hydrogen and oxygen are then directly fed into the furnace through oxygen blending pipelines and hydrogen blending pipelines for low-load stable combustion or variable-load regulation. (Reference) Figure 2 A. Layout diagram of the four-corner tangential boiler burners: Hydrogen burners 11 are positioned below the primary air nozzles of layer A, with four units arranged. Methanol burners 9 are positioned on the side walls 1.5 meters from the four corners and at the same height as the primary air nozzles of layer A, with four units arranged. The primary air temperature in methanol burners 9 is 150℃, and the secondary air temperature is 380℃. This enhances the atomization capability at the nozzles, improves flame stability and burnout rate. A flame-retardant strip is laid around methanol burners 9 to enhance stable combustion. Pure oxygen generated from water electrolysis is only incorporated into the secondary air of layers AA and AB through oxygen-incorporating pipelines, increasing the oxygen volume concentration by 3%. When renewable energy power generation from wind and solar is sufficient, only oxygen needs to be introduced to improve the oxygen concentration in the furnace to achieve stable combustion. When changing coal types or when renewable energy power generation is insufficient, hydrogen is introduced into the furnace. Due to the high energy density of hydrogen, the furnace temperature rises rapidly, allowing the pulverized coal to quickly reach the ignition temperature for combustion, thus enabling a rapid increase in load. Under stable load conditions, methanol can be injected to replace a portion of the coal fed into the furnace for combustion.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure b, in a W-type flame boiler, two hydrogen burners 11 are arranged below the pulverized coal burners on the furnace arch; two methanol burners 9 are arranged on the side wall at the same height as the pulverized coal nozzles, with oxygen mixed into the pulverized coal nozzles. When maintaining stable combustion at low load in the furnace, the hydrogen burners 11 on the furnace arch increase the furnace temperature by injecting hydrogen into the furnace, allowing for more complete combustion of the pulverized coal. The oxygen mixed into the pulverized coal nozzles ensures sufficient oxygen for both hydrogen and pulverized coal combustion, preventing hydrogen from competing for oxygen and causing incomplete combustion. At full load, the methanol burners 9 on the furnace arch replace some of the pulverized coal as fuel by injecting methanol into the furnace, reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides. Figure 2 As shown in Figure c, in a counter-flow boiler with opposing front and rear walls, four hydrogen burners 11 are arranged between the lowest burnout air layer and the highest pulverized coal burner; three methanol burners 9 are arranged between adjacent lowest pulverized coal burners. Oxygen is mixed into the lowest pulverized coal burner. The hydrogen injected into the furnace can serve as a reburning fuel, ensuring stable combustion of low-quality coal and reducing the formation of nitrogen oxides. The oxygen mixed into the lowest pulverized coal burner provides sufficient oxygen for hydrogen combustion. During high-load stable combustion, methanol is injected to replace pulverized coal combustion; for example... Figure 2As shown in diagram d, in a circulating fluidized bed boiler, two hydrogen burners 11 are arranged between the coal-feeding air and the lower secondary air; two methanol burners 9 are arranged between any two adjacent coal-feeding air nozzles. Oxygen is mixed into the fluidized air box. The injected hydrogen can be used as a reburning fuel, reducing nitrogen oxide generation and improving the burnout rate of low-quality coal during low-load combustion or when burning low-quality coal. The oxygen mixed into the fluidized air box increases the oxygen concentration in the furnace, ensuring that both hydrogen and pulverized coal can burn completely. When combustion is stable in the furnace, methanol is injected to replace pulverized coal for combustion.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the oxygen blending system of the present invention mainly includes: a primary air electric valve 11-1, a primary air manual valve 11-2, a secondary air electric valve 11-3, a secondary air manual valve 11-4, a primary air nozzle 17, a secondary air nozzle 21, an oxygen blending electric valve 13-1, an oxygen blending manual valve 13-2, an oxygen blending filter 14-1, an oxygen flow meter 16-1, an oxygen pressure gauge 15-1, and an oxygen concentration sensor 12-1. The primary air passes through the primary air electric valve 11-1 and the primary air manual valve 11-2, and then reaches the primary air nozzle 17 and is injected into the furnace. The secondary air passes through the secondary air electric valve 11-3 and the secondary air manual valve 11-4, and then reaches the secondary air nozzle 21 and is injected into the furnace. Meanwhile, oxygen from an external oxygen source is filtered sequentially through an oxygen-blending electric valve 13-1, an oxygen-blending manual valve 13-2, and an oxygen-blending filter 14-1. After the flow rate is measured by an oxygen flow meter 16-1 and the pressure is monitored by an oxygen pressure gauge 15-1, the oxygen is then combined with the primary or secondary air duct and incorporated into the primary or secondary air supply. The mixed gas then passes through an oxygen concentration sensor 12-1 to monitor the oxygen concentration, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the combustion process.
[0037] like Figure 4As shown, the hydrogen co-firing system of the present invention mainly includes: a hydrogen electric valve 18-1, a hydrogen manual valve 18-2, a hydrogen filter 14-2, a hydrogen flow meter 16-2, a hydrogen concentration sensor 12-2, a hydrogen pressure gauge 15-2, a first purge gas electric valve 19-1, a first purge gas manual valve 19-2, a second purge gas electric valve 19-3, a second purge gas manual valve 19-4, a hydrogen nozzle 20, and a hydrogen flow meter 16-3. Hydrogen supplied from the water electrolysis unit 2 passes sequentially through the hydrogen electric valve 18-1 and the hydrogen manual valve 18-2, which together control the on / off state and flow rate of the hydrogen. Next, the hydrogen flows into the hydrogen filter 14-2 to remove any impurities and ensure the purity of the hydrogen. The filtered hydrogen then passes through the hydrogen flow meter 16-2, which accurately measures the flow rate of the hydrogen to ensure that the hydrogen supply meets the requirements of the combustion process. Before entering the hydrogen concentration sensor 12-2, the hydrogen gas passes through the hydrogen pressure gauge 15-2 to monitor its pressure, ensuring that it flows within a safe pressure range. Finally, the hydrogen gas reaches the hydrogen nozzle 20 and is fed into the furnace for combustion. Before each hydrogen-blended combustion operation, the purge gas passes sequentially through the first electric purge gas valve 19-1 and the first manual purge gas valve 19-2, which control the flow of the purge gas. Subsequently, the purge gas enters the second electric purge gas valve 19-3 and the second manual purge gas valve 19-4, further regulating its flow rate and pressure to effectively clean and protect the hydrogen pipeline.
[0038] The flue gas generated after combustion in the furnace is recovered and converted into carbon dioxide and nitrogen through the carbon capture and nitrogen production unit 7. The carbon dioxide can be used for oilfield enhanced oil recovery, or it can be combined with excess hydrogen generated in the water electrolysis unit to synthesize methanol, reducing the environmental pollution caused by flue gas generated after boiler combustion and utilizing pollutants as resources. It can also be mixed into the furnace for oxygen-enriched combustion. Nitrogen can be used as a protective gas in other processes or sent to the hydrogen-blending pipeline of the hydrogen-blending boiler for purging to prevent pipeline explosions caused by excess gas in the pipeline.
[0039] The co-firing of hydrogen effectively increases the mixing degree of air and fuel, which is beneficial to stable combustion in the furnace and prolongs the residence time of pulverized coal in the furnace. Because of the added hydrogen jet, the jet velocity in the co-firing condition is increased compared to the basic operating condition, and the airflow rotation is enhanced. Hydrogen-coated combustion can further improve the burnout rate of pulverized coal, but it also increases the outlet water vapor content, which raises the risk of low-temperature corrosion. Therefore, anti-corrosion treatment of related equipment is necessary. At the same time, higher requirements are placed on the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of pipeline equipment and the high-temperature resistance of the burner.

Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed in this invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this invention.
