[0002] Industrial flue gas contains carbon dioxide ( ), sulfur dioxide ( ), nitrogen oxides ( Pollutants such as flue gas, and their emissions are a major cause of air pollution and climate change. Currently, assessments of the environmental impact of flue gas primarily rely on monitoring the concentrations of various pollutants and determining whether emissions meet environmental standards. However, this traditional method has significant limitations: firstly, it cannot provide a unified, measurable, and comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impacts of different types of pollutants. For example, it cannot compare the effects of the same mass of... and The magnitude of the potential environmental impact is a concern. Secondly, it cannot provide a single, quantitative indicator of the overall environmental impact of flue gas, making it difficult to use for horizontal comparisons of environmental protection levels across different factories and processes. This also presents technical difficulties for the refined implementation of environmental economic policies such as emissions trading and carbon trading. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The environmental impact calculation and display unit 6 calculates the comprehensive chemical value of the flue gas under test by calling the standard chemical value of each pollutant per unit volume fraction based on the pollutant emission standards; at the same time, it calculates the total standard chemical value of all pollutants according to the emission standards of each pollutant, and sets the evaluation level and its corresponding threshold according to the total standard chemical value.

[0043] A preferred embodiment of the present invention: This system is installed after the flue gas desulfurization and denitrification facility in a coal-fired power plant. The system analyzes and determines the volume fraction of the main pollutants in the purified flue gas as follows: 12%, 0.03%, 0.01%, 0.005%. The environmental impact and display unit 6 uses its built-in database for calculations.

[0049]
[0050] Tables 4 and 5 show the PEI values calculated based on the above standard values (which are determined according to the standards of different countries) (using a molar volume of 22400 mol / m³ under standard conditions). The equipment will automatically calculate the flue gas PEI value and issue a warning. As shown in Table 3, the PEI value in the flue gas... and If the sum of the PEIs is 105.69 kJ / kmol, exceeding the PEI requirements of the two national standards by more than 1.5 times, the equipment will display a red warning. At this time, the fault should be investigated immediately, and production restrictions or shutdown for rectification should be considered. Simultaneously, the system provides the PEI value for carbon dioxide. If local carbon trading policies require enterprises to control emissions, this value will be automatically connected to the carbon management platform to generate a carbon emission report and issue a warning of excess risk.
[0051] Another preferred embodiment of the invention: This system is installed in the exhaust flue of a gas turbine in a natural gas combined cycle power plant (NGCC). Because the flue gas is relatively clean with few particulate matter, the system focuses on the precise analysis of low-concentration pollutants. The system detects the volume fraction of the main pollutants in the flue gas as follows: 3.8%, 0.0005%, 0.001%, : 0.001%, and calculate its PEI.

[0056] The system compares the current PEI of nitrogen and sulfur oxides in the flue gas with the national standard PEI. lim (5.19 kJ / kmol) was compared. The current PEI is 1.2. (6.23 kJ / kmol) and 1.5 (between 7.79 kJ / kmol). Although and The concentration is below the national standard, but its overall PEI value has triggered an alarm. The system interface displays a yellow "alarm" level. The warning message states: "The overall impact has significantly exceeded the emission benchmark for high-quality clean energy." The system can further monitor real-time... The PEI value is integrated into the enterprise carbon data management system, providing a real-time and continuous data source for carbon quota settlement and carbon trading decisions.
[0057] The table below shows a detailed comparison of the core advantages of this method compared to traditional methods:

[0059]
[0060] This invention successfully transplants the concept of ε from thermodynamics from the field of energy assessment to the field of environmental assessment. It achieves a leap from individual monitoring to comprehensive evaluation: solving the problem of the inability to uniformly measure the impact of different pollutants in the environmental protection field, generating an intuitive and comparable single indicator (PEI), greatly facilitating environmental management decision-making. The evaluation results are scientifically profound: the PEI value considers not only the quantity (concentration) of pollutants, but also their "quality" (potential destructive power to the environment), reflecting the essential impact of emissions more effectively than simple concentration monitoring. It provides a new tool for environmental management: the system can provide a more scientific pricing basis for the polluter-pays principle, promoting the healthy development of the emissions trading market, and is a powerful technological innovation in the field of environmental management.
