Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas denitrification technology, and more specifically, to an AI-powered intelligent and efficient flue gas denitrification system process. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of industrialization, the amount of municipal solid waste and industrial waste generated has increased significantly. Waste-to-energy incineration, as an important means of energy recovery and waste treatment, has been widely used. By the end of 2022, my country's municipal solid waste incineration capacity had reached approximately 804,700 tons / day, achieving the planned target ahead of schedule. However, the flue gas generated by waste incineration contains large amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other harmful gases, which seriously affect the environment and air quality. National environmental protection policies have increasingly stringent NOx emission standards for flue gas, and have imposed ultra-low emission requirements on waste incineration plants and small and medium-sized industrial boilers.
[0003] Currently, flue gas denitrification in waste incineration and some small and medium-sized industrial boilers mainly relies on selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) technology. SNCR technology achieves NOx reduction by injecting a reducing agent (such as ammonia or urea solution) into a suitable temperature range within the furnace. Existing SNCR processes have the following main problems: Traditional SNCR processes generally achieve denitrification efficiencies between 30% and 50%, which is insufficient to meet increasingly stringent ultra-low emission requirements. Especially when furnace temperature distribution is uneven or fuel properties change, the denitrification effect fluctuates significantly. Existing systems rely on limited temperature measurement points or single measurement methods for furnace temperature monitoring, failing to comprehensively reflect the three-dimensional temperature field distribution. This results in a large deviation between the reducing agent injection position and the optimal temperature zone, reducing denitrification efficiency and increasing the risk of ammonia escape. Traditional SNCR systems often use fixed parameter control or simple closed-loop control for injection control, lacking real-time dynamic prediction and adaptive adjustment of furnace operating conditions, making it difficult to achieve stable emissions across all operating conditions. Existing flue gas denitrification technologies have low levels of automation and lack real-time optimization control systems that are deeply integrated with big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, making it difficult to achieve accurate and dynamic temperature prediction and injection optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an AI-powered intelligent and efficient flue gas denitrification system process that can collect furnace temperature field and flue gas characteristic data in real time, establish a high-precision three-dimensional temperature model, use AI algorithms for temperature prediction and injection strategy optimization, achieve dynamic adaptive control under all operating conditions, improve SNCR denitrification efficiency to 70%–85%, effectively reduce NOx emissions, and control ammonia slip within a safe range.
[0005] A process for an AI-powered intelligent and efficient flue gas denitrification system includes the following technical steps: S1. Temperature data acquisition and modeling: No less than 20 temperature measurement points are arranged in the furnace of waste incineration boiler or small and medium-sized industrial boiler along the height, horizontal and vertical directions. Multi-mode temperature measurement is carried out using infrared thermal imager, acoustic temperature probe and fiber optic grating temperature probe. The sampling period is ≤1 second and the temperature measurement accuracy is ±2℃. The data acquisition module performs anomaly removal, filtering, and multi-source fusion on real-time temperature signals to form a high-precision, real-time updated three-dimensional temperature field model. The model takes into account changes in combustion load, fuel characteristics, and flue gas velocity fluctuations to ensure the accuracy and continuity of temperature data, providing high-quality input for denitrification control.
[0006] S2. Furnace Temperature Field Simulation and Prediction: Three-dimensional temperature reconstruction is performed by combining flame image recognition with infrared thermal imaging. A finite element calculation model of furnace combustion is established, and numerical simulations are performed on flow field velocity, turbulent energy, temperature distribution and reducing agent diffusion path. By weighted and fused real-time temperature measurement data with CFD simulation results, prediction errors are dynamically corrected to achieve future temperature trend predictions of 1 to 5 seconds. At the same time, high-temperature inefficiency zones, low-temperature stagnation zones, and temperature fluctuation zones are identified, providing a scientific basis for spray gun spraying strategies.
[0007] S3, AI Predictive Control and Optimization: Establish a combined model of deep neural network (DNN), reinforcement learning (RL) and adaptive time series analysis. The input parameters include the three-dimensional temperature field of the furnace, combustion load, flue gas velocity, NOx concentration, oxygen content and reducing agent concentration. The output parameters are injection flow rate, injection angle, spray gun start and stop status and injection duration.
