Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thermal power generation, and further relates to a high-pressure oxidation fan compression heat waste heat utilization system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a desulfurization system (especially the main limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization), the oxidation fan is a core auxiliary equipment for ensuring the desulfurization efficiency and realizing the resource recovery of gypsum, and its running state directly affects the stability and economy of the desulfurization system. Its core function is to introduce compressed air into the absorption slurry pool in the desulfurization tower, convert the intermediate product generated in the desulfurization process into recoverable gypsum through oxidation reaction, and maintain the normal working condition of the slurry in the tower. The specific functions include: 1. realizing calcium sulfite oxidation to generate gypsum; 2. oxidation air is sprayed from the gas distribution pipe / aeration device at the bottom of the absorption tower slurry pool, forming a large number of bubbles and moving upwards to produce strong stirring effect on the slurry, which can effectively prevent solid particles from depositing; 3. adjusting water quality, controlling slurry pH value, and stabilizing the desulfurization environment.

[0003] The working principle is: the oxidation fan inhales clean air from the environment, compresses the air according to the pressure requirement of the desulfurization system, converts the normal pressure air into high pressure air, and delivers the compressed high pressure air to the bottom of the absorption tower through the fan outlet pipeline, and disperses it into fine bubbles through the gas distribution device. The bubbles and the slurry are in full contact to complete the reaction.

[0004] In the process of converting normal pressure air into high pressure air by air compression, the oxidation fan converts the electrical energy consumed by the fan into internal energy of the air, and the temperature of the high pressure oxidation air rises. However, too high temperature of the high pressure oxidation air will have adverse effects on the desulfurization system, mainly including: (1) destroying the desulfurization reaction balance; The desulfurization reaction in the absorption tower (such as limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization) needs to be carried out at a relatively low temperature (usually 50-60°C), and high temperature oxidation air will break this balance.

[0005] decrease absorption efficiency: high temperature will reduce the solubility of the absorption slurry in the flue gas, resulting in unable to be effectively captured, and the concentration of the outlet flue gas exceeds the standard.

[0006] inhibit gypsum crystallization: oxidation air is the key to oxidizing calcium sulfite to calcium sulfate (gypsum), and too high temperature will interfere with the normal crystallization process of gypsum, which may generate fine white by-products (such as calcium sulfite) instead of qualified gypsum dihydrate.

[0007] (2) accelerate equipment wear and failure; ​High temperature oxidation air will cause direct damage to the internal components of the absorption tower and related equipment.

[0008] Corrosion aggravation: High temperature will accelerate the aging speed of the absorption tower lining (such as glass flake, rubber), and may change the pH stability of the slurry, leading to an increase in the corrosion rate of the tower wall and internal pipes (such as spray pipe, oxidation air pipe).

[0009] Excessive evaporation of slurry moisture: High temperature will cause rapid evaporation of moisture in the absorption slurry, leading to an increase in slurry concentration and viscosity, which may cause problems such as spray nozzle blockage and agitator overload.

[0010] (3) Chain reaction: triggering system chain failure; A single problem may spread to the entire desulfurization system instability.

[0011] Gypsum dehydration difficulty: If the generated gypsum is of poor quality (containing impurities or poor crystallization), the subsequent vacuum belt dehydrator will not be able to effectively dehydrate, leading to excessive water content in the gypsum, which cannot be normally discharged or reused.

[0012] Increased energy consumption and maintenance cost: To offset the impact of high temperature, the system may need to supplement additional cooling water or increase the amount of slurry circulation, directly increasing the operating energy consumption; at the same time, equipment corrosion and blockage will lead to a significant increase in maintenance frequency and cost.

[0013] Therefore, certain measures need to be taken to reduce the oxidation air temperature to a reasonable temperature before entering the desulfurization tower.

[0014] Currently, for the limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization process of thermal power generating units, the oxidation air temperature at the outlet of the high-pressure oxidation air blower can reach about 130℃, and the high-pressure oxidation air at 130℃ directly entering the desulfurization absorption tower will destroy the reaction environment in the absorption tower, leading to a decrease in desulfurization efficiency, inhibition of gypsum crystallization, and equipment damage. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a route of desuperheating water needs to be set for the high-temperature oxidation air pipeline, and the desuperheating water from the process water system reduces the oxidation air temperature to 50℃ to 60℃ before entering the desulfurization absorption tower. Although the traditional scheme reduces the oxidation air temperature to a suitable temperature for the reaction environment of the absorption tower, the waste heat of the oxidation air is not fully utilized, increasing the water consumption of the system. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present application can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application proposes a high-pressure oxidation fan compression heat waste heat utilization system integrated in a steam turbine power generation system, comprising: a condensate water main pipeline and multiple low-pressure heaters connected in series on the main pipeline, comprising: a waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 having a first channel and a second channel isolated from each other and exchanging heat through an intermediate wall; wherein the first channel is connected in series on an outlet pipeline of a desulfurization oxidation fan 3; a condensate water bypass, the condensate water bypass comprising: a water taking pipeline 14 connected between the inlet of the second channel and the condensate water main pipeline before the inlet of the last-stage low-pressure heater; a backwater line 17 connected between the outlet of the second passage and the backwater position switching device 20; The backwater position switching device 20 selectively returns the heated condensate to the condensate main line at the outlet of the second-stage or first-stage low-pressure heater of the last-stage low-pressure heater.

[0031] The system of the embodiment of the present application is used in the regenerative system of a thermal power unit. The second passage of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is connected in series between the backwater line 17 and the water taking line 14, forming a part of the condensate bypass. The water inlet of the water taking line 14 is connected to the first condensate main line 23 before the inlet of the last-stage low-pressure heater. The condensate main line is connected to the outlet of the drain cooler. The condensate passing through the drain cooler flows to the last-stage low-pressure heater through the first condensate main line 23 and to the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 through the water taking line 14. The first passage of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is connected in series between the oxidizing air fan 3 and the desulfurization absorption tower 33. The high-temperature and high-pressure oxidizing air flowing out of the oxidizing air fan 3 passes through the first passage of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9, and heats the condensate in the second passage connected in parallel to the first passage and separated by a partition wall in a heat transfer manner, so as to reduce the temperature of the high-pressure oxidizing air to a preset temperature and enter the desulfurization absorption tower 33. At the same time, the heated condensate is returned to the corresponding low-pressure heater for recycling, thereby reducing the steam extraction amount of the low-pressure heater. The backwater position switching device 20 selectively returns the heated condensate to the corresponding low-pressure heater before the last-stage low-pressure heater according to the inlet / outlet air temperature of the oxidizing air fan and / or the condensate temperature in the backwater line 17. The inlet air temperature of the oxidizing air fan 3 affects the outlet air temperature thereof. According to the inlet / outlet air temperature of the oxidizing air fan 3, the condensate flow rate of the condensate bypass is adjusted in coordination, so as to control the high-temperature oxidizing air flowing through the first passage to be reduced to a preset temperature. According to the inlet / outlet air temperature of the oxidizing air fan 3 and / or the temperature of the heated condensate in the backwater line 17, the condensate is controlled to return to the condensate main line at the outlet of the second-stage or first-stage low-pressure heater before the last-stage low-pressure heater. When the inlet / outlet air temperature and / or the condensate temperature in the backwater line 17 is high, the condensate returns to the condensate main line at the outlet of the second-stage low-pressure heater. When the inlet / outlet air temperature and / or the condensate temperature in the backwater line 17 is low, the condensate returns to the condensate main line at the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application realizes the synergistic energy saving at the whole plant level by integrating the waste heat of the desulfurization system into the regenerative system, and has significant economic value.

[0033] Taking newly built units as an example, newly built steam turbine generator units generally have a regenerative system with 9 or 10 stages of heat exchangers. Taking a regenerative system with 9 heat exchangers as an example, these are: High-pressure heater No. 1, High-pressure heater No. 2, High-pressure heater No. 3, Deaerator No. 4, Low-pressure heater No. 5, Low-pressure heater No. 6, Low-pressure heater No. 7, Low-pressure heater No. 8, and Low-pressure heater No. 9, with the No. 9 low-pressure heater being the final stage. Under different inlet air temperatures, the outlet air temperature of oxidation fan 3 will also vary. Reducing the high-temperature oxidation air to a preset temperature will also result in different amounts of heat released. The preset temperature is between 50℃ and 60℃, preferably 60℃. The condensate heating temperature varies depending on the inlet air temperature. In summer, the inlet air temperature of the oxidizer can reach 41.4℃, and the outlet air temperature of the oxidizer fan can reach 128℃. In spring and autumn, the inlet air temperature is only 20℃, and the outlet air temperature of the oxidizer fan is 100℃. After passing through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger, the temperature is reduced to 60℃. The heat released by the oxidizer air varies significantly with the season, which can, to some extent, regulate the condensate flow rate and control the cooling of the high-temperature oxidizer air to the preset temperature. However, the significant difference in heat release results in a substantial difference in the temperature of the heated condensate. To maximize the utilization of the heated condensate and achieve optimal energy saving, condensate at different temperatures needs to be switched back to the main condensate pipelines at the outlets of different low-pressure heaters to achieve optimal efficiency. Most directly, based on the condensate heating temperature, the return water switching device 20 can selectively return the heated condensate to the corresponding low-pressure heater, flexibly and fully utilizing the heated condensate, efficiently recovering waste heat, reducing the steam extraction volume of the corresponding low-pressure heater, and saving water consumption in the desulfurization system.

[0034] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, wherein the first channel is the shell side for circulating oxidation air; and the second channel is the tube side for circulating condensate.

[0035] It should be noted that the first channel of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 9 is the pipe connected in series in the shell side between the outlet pipe of the oxidation fan 3 of the desulfurization system and the inlet pipe of the desulfurization absorption tower 33; the second channel of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger is the pipe connected in series in the tube side between the water intake pipe 14 and the return water pipe 17. Both the first and second channels are internal pipes of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger and exchange heat through the partition wall.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flow direction of the high-temperature oxidizing air in the first channel within the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is opposite to the flow direction of the low-temperature condensate in the second channel.

[0037] To achieve optimal heat exchange efficiency, the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 9 is preferably arranged in a counter-flow configuration. This counter-flow arrangement maintains a consistently high average temperature difference for heat exchange. The temperature is highest at the oxidation air inlet, where it encounters condensate that is about to flow out and has already risen in temperature; conversely, the temperature is lowest at the oxidation air outlet, where it encounters condensate that has just flowed in and has the lowest temperature. This results in a more uniform distribution of the driving force (temperature difference) for heat transfer across the entire heat exchange surface, thereby maximizing the recovery of the compression heat of the oxidation air and improving the overall thermal economy of the waste heat recovery system. Figure 1 The middle arrow indicates the direction of fluid flow.

[0038] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the return water position switching device 20 includes: a first return water branch 20b connecting the outlet of the return water pipeline 17 and the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater; The second condensate main pipeline 26 and the second return water branch 20a are connected to the outlet of the return water pipeline 17 and the outlet of the first second-stage low-pressure heater.

[0039] In this embodiment, the inlet of the return water pipe 17 is connected to the outlet of the second channel, and the outlet of the return water pipe 17 is connected to the first return water branch 20b and the second return water branch 20a respectively, so as to return the heated condensate to the first stage low-pressure heater or the second stage low-pressure heater. It should be noted that the first return water branch 20b returns the heated condensate with a lower temperature to the main condensate pipe at the outlet of the first stage low-pressure heater, and the second return water branch 20a returns the heated condensate with a higher temperature to the main condensate pipe at the outlet of the second stage low-pressure heater.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the return water position switching device further includes: on / off control valves respectively disposed in the first return water branch 20b and the second return water branch 20a.

[0041] In this embodiment, the on / off control valve is used to control the on / off state of the first return water branch 20b or the second return water branch 20a. The control valve can be a set, consisting of a manual shut-off valve and an electric shut-off valve.

[0042] In another optional embodiment of the present invention, the return water position switching device 20 further includes a three-way stop valve connecting the first return water branch 20b, the second return water branch 20a and the return water pipeline 17.

[0043] In this embodiment, the three-way plug valve controls the opening and closing of the first return water branch 20b and the second return water branch 20a.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the main condensate pipeline selectively returning to the outlet of the second-stage or first-stage low-pressure heater preceding the final-stage low-pressure heater includes: Depending on different operating conditions, the on / off control valves on the first return water branch 20b and the second return water branch 20a are selectively controlled to open / close their states. When the valve of the first return water branch 20b is opened and the valve of the second return water branch 20a is closed, the heated condensate is returned to the main condensate pipeline at the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater. When the valve of the second return water branch 20a is opened and the valve of the first return water branch 20b is closed, the heated condensate is returned to the main condensate pipeline at the outlet of the second-stage low-pressure heater.

[0045] It should be noted that different operating conditions can refer to the temperature of the inlet / outlet air of the oxidation blower and / or the temperature of the condensate in the return water pipe 17. When the temperature of the inlet / outlet air of the oxidation blower and / or the temperature of the heated condensate reach the corresponding preset threshold, the control valve of the second return water branch 20a is opened, the control valve of the first return water branch 20b is closed, and the second return water branch is opened to return the higher temperature condensate to the main condensate pipe at the outlet of the second stage low-pressure heater. When the temperature of the inlet / outlet air of the oxidation blower and / or the temperature of the heated condensate do not reach the corresponding preset threshold, the control valve of the first return water branch 20b is opened, the control valve of the second return water branch 20a is closed, and the first return water branch is opened to return the lower temperature condensate to the main condensate pipe at the outlet of the first stage low-pressure heater.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a flow distribution device for regulating flow rate is provided on the water intake pipeline 14, and the flow distribution device distributes condensate to the final stage low-pressure heater and the condensate bypass.

[0047] In this embodiment, the inlet of the water intake pipe 14 can be directly connected to the condensate main pipe of the last-stage low-pressure heater to divert condensate. The water intake point of the water intake pipe 14 is located on the condensate main pipe between the outlet of the condensate cooler and the inlet of the last-stage low-pressure heater. Those skilled in the art can also adjust the water intake point according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.

[0048] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flow distribution device adjusts the flow rate of condensate flowing into the condensate bypass to be less than 20% of the total flow rate of the first condensate main pipeline 23 at the water intake point.

[0049] It should be noted that after being distributed by the flow distribution device, the flow rate of condensate flowing into the condensate bypass is no more than 20% of the total flow rate. In other words, most of the condensate enters the final stage low-pressure heater, and a small portion of the condensate enters the water intake pipe 14.

[0050] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flow distribution device includes: a regulating three-way valve, which is connected to the inlet of the water intake pipe 14, the inlet of the first condensate main pipe 23 of the last stage low-pressure heater, and the condensate outlet.

[0051] In this embodiment, by adjusting the regulating three-way valve, the condensate entering the main condensate pipe of the final stage low-pressure heater and the condensate entering the water intake pipe 14 are actively regulated, thereby achieving precise flow control. The regulating three-way valve can be installed on the pipe at the water intake point to regulate the flow rate of condensate to the final stage low-pressure heater and the water intake pipe 14.

[0052] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flow distribution device includes: a third electric shut-off valve 29, an electric regulating valve 30 and a third manual shut-off valve 31 connected in series in the water intake pipeline 14, and a fourth manual shut-off valve 32 connected in parallel with the third electric shut-off valve 29, the electric regulating valve 30 and the third manual shut-off valve 31.

[0053] In this embodiment, four valves are installed on the water intake pipe 14. By adjusting the water inlet flow of the condensate bypass, other water in the main pipe is directed to the condensate main pipe of the last stage low-pressure heater.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the multi-stage low-pressure heater includes: a first low-pressure heater 34 as the last stage low-pressure heater, a second low-pressure heater 35 as the preceding first stage low-pressure heater, and a third low-pressure heater 36 as the preceding second stage low-pressure heater.

[0055] In this embodiment, the condensate bypass draws water from the last stage, the first low-pressure heater. The condensate, heated by the waste heat exchanger 9, returns to the main condensate pipeline at the outlet of the second or third low-pressure heater. In another embodiment, the multi-stage low-pressure heater may include four or five stages. The condensate intake location can also be set according to actual conditions, and may be the second or third low-pressure heater. The heated condensate may also return to the first, second, or Nth stage low-pressure heater before the intake low-pressure heater, depending on the actual situation. As long as the principle is the same as that of this invention, it is within the protection scope of this invention.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a method for utilizing the waste heat from the compression of a high-pressure oxidation blower, used in the aforementioned high-pressure oxidation blower waste heat utilization system, comprising: Step S10: Monitor the outlet air temperature of the oxidation fan 3 and the condensate outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9.

[0057] Step S20: Based on the comparison results of the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower 3 and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 and the corresponding preset threshold, control the operation of the return water position switching device to select to return the heated condensate to the outlet of the second-stage low-pressure heater or the first-stage low-pressure heater before the last-stage low-pressure heater.

[0058] In the method of this invention, the return water position switching device is controlled to operate according to the operating conditions. The operating conditions can be the inlet air temperature or the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower. The inlet air temperature directly affects the outlet air temperature. The higher the inlet air temperature, the higher the temperature of the high-temperature and high-pressure air compressed by the oxidation blower. It needs to be cooled to a preset temperature before entering the desulfurization absorption tower. The more heat is released through the first channel of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger, the higher the temperature rise of the condensate in the second channel. Most directly, the condensate main pipeline returning to the first-stage low-pressure heater or the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater can be determined according to the temperature of the heated condensate and the corresponding preset threshold, so as to save maximum energy consumption.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the preset threshold is the switching point with the highest cost-effectiveness determined after thermodynamic calculation. The preset threshold, compared with the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9, is set to a value close to the outlet water temperature of the first-stage low-pressure heater to ensure that the skip-stage operation can bring net energy-saving benefits. The integrated point (return water point) is dynamically adjusted according to the heat source quality (outlet water temperature) to achieve optimal energy matching and save maximum energy consumption.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of controlling the operation of the return water position switching device based on the comparison result of the outlet air temperature of the oxidation fan 3 and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 and a corresponding preset threshold, so as to select to return the heated condensate to the outlet of the second stage or the first stage low-pressure heater before the last stage low-pressure heater, includes: When the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower 3 is higher than or equal to the first air temperature threshold, and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is higher than or equal to the first water temperature threshold, the return water switching device is controlled to return the condensate to the main condensate pipeline of the outlet of the second-stage low-pressure heater. When the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower 3 is lower than the first air temperature threshold, and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is lower than the first water temperature threshold, the control return water switching device will return the condensate to the main condensate pipeline at the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater.

[0061] It should be noted that, depending on different operating conditions, selectively controlling the return of heated condensate to the corresponding low-pressure heater for optimal energy matching can maximize energy savings. When the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower 3 is higher than or equal to the first air temperature threshold, and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is higher than or equal to the first water temperature threshold, the return water switching device is controlled to return the condensate to the condensate main pipeline at the outlet of the second-stage low-pressure heater. In other words, the temperature of this condensate is already high enough that the second-stage, first-stage, and final-stage low-pressure heaters do not need to heat this condensate, saving the steam extraction volume of the three low-pressure heaters and achieving optimal energy saving. If this high-temperature condensate is returned to the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater, this high-temperature water enters the second-stage low-pressure heater and mixes with the water in the condensate main pipeline for cooling. The second-stage low-pressure heater still needs to extract steam to heat this cooled water. Although the steam extraction volume will be reduced, achieving a certain energy saving effect, it is not as optimal as the former, where steam extraction for this water is completely unnecessary. Energy saving not only considers the conservation of heat but also the conservation of energy or value. Higher temperature means higher value, and the condensate should be returned to the appropriate low-pressure heater to achieve even higher value and optimal energy savings. Different grades of low-pressure heaters have completely different specifications and energy levels. Higher-grade steam has greater work potential, but the cost of removing it is also higher. Therefore, for high-temperature condensate, returning it to the corresponding low-pressure heater is essential for achieving optimal energy savings.

[0062] When the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower 3 is lower than the first air temperature threshold, and / or the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 is lower than the first water temperature threshold, the return water switching device is controlled to return the condensate to the outlet of the first-stage low-pressure heater. Instead of returning this portion of the condensate to the second-stage low-pressure heater for steam extraction heating, which would consume more energy...

[0063] This embodiment has only two stages of low-pressure heaters with return flow, and the first water temperature threshold is close to the outlet water temperature of the first-stage low-pressure heater. In other embodiments, if there are multiple stages of low-pressure heaters with return flow, then multiple water temperature thresholds are set accordingly, each water temperature threshold being close to the outlet water temperature of the corresponding lower-stage low-pressure heater.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the operation of the return water position switching device is preferentially controlled based on the comparison result of the outlet water temperature of the waste heat utilization heat exchanger 9 and the corresponding preset threshold. When the water temperature monitoring fails, the operation of the return water position switching device is automatically switched to be controlled based on the comparison result of the outlet air temperature and the corresponding preset threshold. This reduces the steam extraction amount of the corresponding low-pressure heater and saves water consumption in the desulfurization system.

[0065] In this embodiment, using the outlet water temperature of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger 9 to control the return water position switching device is the most direct and accurate method.

[0066] Example 1: Currently, newly built steam turbine generator sets generally have 9 or 10 stages of heat exchangers. This example uses 9 heat exchangers, which are connected in series as follows: No. 1 high-pressure heater, No. 2 high-pressure heater, No. 3 high-pressure heater, No. 4 deaerator, No. 5 low-pressure heater, No. 6 low-pressure heater, No. 7 low-pressure heater, No. 8 low-pressure heater and No. 9 low-pressure heater, with No. 9 being the last stage low-pressure heater.

[0067] Taking two 1000MW units as an example, the inlet air volume of the oxidation blower is 43020m³. 3 The design operating condition is an inlet air temperature of 41.4℃ and an outlet air temperature of 128℃. To reduce the temperature of the oxidation air to 60℃ before it enters the desulfurization absorption tower, a desuperheating water volume of 2.52t / h is required.

[0068] When using the design condition of 41.4℃ inlet air temperature in this embodiment, the oxidation air temperature is reduced from 128℃ to 60℃, and the heat released by the oxidation air is 2122kW. This heat is used to heat the condensate at the inlet of low-pressure heater No. 9. The heated condensate is then returned to the outlet of low-pressure heater No. 7. Considering the heat exchange end difference of 10~15℃, the temperature of approximately 28t / h of condensate can be heated from 48.4℃ to 113℃. This reduces the steam extraction rate of low-pressure heaters No. 8 and No. 9 by 1t / h, reduces the steam extraction rate of low-pressure heater No. 7 by 1.26t / h, and saves 2.52t / h of desuperheating water.

[0069] When the inlet air temperature is 20℃, the outlet air temperature of the oxidation blower is 100℃. When it drops to 60℃, the oxidation air releases 1246kW of heat, which heats the condensate at the inlet of the No. 9 low-pressure heater. The heated condensate is then returned to the outlet of the No. 8 low-pressure heater. Considering the heat exchange end difference of 10~15℃, the temperature of approximately 27t / h of condensate can be heated from 48.4℃ to 85℃. This reduces the steam extraction rate of the No. 9 low-pressure heater by 0.96t / h and the steam extraction rate of the No. 8 low-pressure heater by 0.98t / h, saving 1.48t / h of desuperheating water.

[0070] In this embodiment of the high-pressure oxidation blower compression heat waste heat utilization system, when the inlet air temperature is high under design conditions, the condensate at the inlet of low-pressure heater No. 9 is heated, and the heated condensate is returned to the outlet of low-pressure heater No. 7. When the inlet air temperature is low, the condensate at the inlet of low-pressure heater No. 9 is heated, and the heated condensate is returned to the outlet of low-pressure heater No. 8.

[0074] The working process of a high-pressure oxidation blower compression heat waste heat utilization system in Example 1: Oxidation air system: Atmospheric pressure air is filtered through air filter 1 and then enters oxidation blower 3 through oxidation blower inlet butterfly valve 2.
