Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to gas purification and treatment, and in particular relates to a device for removing carbon monoxide and recovering and comprehensively utilizing waste heat. Background Art
[0002] In the field of industrial flue gas treatment, especially for flue gas emitted by coal-fired and petrochemical industries, there are significant environmental challenges. These flue gases contain a large amount of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), which poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. At present, the removal of carbon monoxide mainly relies on catalytic oxidation, which needs to be carried out at a higher temperature, resulting in high energy consumption, and the service life and efficiency of the catalyst are limited. At the same time, a large amount of waste heat carried in industrial flue gas is often directly discharged with the flue gas, and is not effectively recycled, resulting in low energy efficiency.

The heating device, the first heat recovery device, the flue gas purification device and the second heat recovery device are connected in sequence through pipelines. The utility model can perform waste heat recovery twice by changing the treatment steps of flue gas in the prior art, reasonably recovering the energy wasted in the existing flue gas treatment process, and making full use of chemical heat. This waste heat recovery technology is separated from the pollutant treatment equipment, which further reduces the efficiency of thermal energy utilization and increases equipment investment and operating costs.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] Taking a certain industrial facility as an example, its combustion process produces about 10,000 cubic meters of waste gas containing carbon monoxide every day. The concentration of carbon monoxide in the waste gas is about 5,000 ppm, that is, 5,000 parts per million of gas are carbon monoxide, accompanied by about 250 kW of heat energy loss.
[0032] The box is a horizontal tower, and the control process is as follows:
[0033] 1. Device startup and preheating stage: First, the operator starts the program and starts the device through the control system. The control system first checks whether all sensors and safety systems are normal. Then the system enters the preheating stage, the flue gas heater starts preheating, and the temperature monitoring device (T) starts to monitor the heater temperature. When the temperature of the heater outlet reaches the initial temperature required for the catalyst bed reaction (such as 200°C), the control system starts to run the next stage;
[0034] 2. Flue gas treatment stage: First, the induced draft fan is started to introduce the industrial flue gas into the box 1 from the air inlet 2, and then the flue gas is heated to a suitable reaction temperature when passing through the flue gas heater 3. The heated flue gas enters the first catalyst bed 5, where carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen to generate carbon dioxide; the catalyst model is palladium carbon (brand: Kramar).
[0035] 3. Waste heat recovery stage: The flue gas after the reaction enters the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9, where it is cooled by medium exchange, and heat energy is recovered and distributed. A part of it is used in the flue gas heater 3 to maintain the temperature required for the catalytic reaction, and the other part can be used for other heat energy needs of the factory. The ratio of the flow rate of the heat user network 11 to the output flow rate of the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9 is 1:2.5. The 250kW original heat energy passes through the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9, converting about 80% of the lost heat energy into usable energy, that is, 200kW. This 200kW of energy is enough to power the lighting and some small mechanical equipment in the factory. When the heat demand of the heat user network 11 is met, the medium is also cooled, and then transported back to the flue gas cooling section through the booster pump P1 to replenish the cooling medium.
[0036] In Example 1, the temperature of the flue gas before treatment was 140°C-170°C, the CO concentration was 5000 ppm, the temperature after treatment was 95-120°C, the carbon monoxide concentration was 580 ppm, and the removal efficiency of the device was 88.4%.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] The box is a vertical tower, and the control process is as follows:
[0039] 1. Device startup and preheating stage: First, the operator starts the program and starts the device through the control system. The control system first checks whether all sensors and safety systems are normal. Then the system enters the preheating stage, the flue gas heater starts preheating, and the temperature monitoring device (T) starts to monitor the heater temperature. When the temperature of the heater outlet reaches the initial temperature required for the catalyst bed reaction (such as 230°C), the control system starts to run the next stage;
[0040] 2. Flue gas treatment stage: First, the induced draft fan is started to introduce the industrial flue gas into the box 1 from the air inlet 2, and then the flue gas is heated to a suitable reaction temperature when passing through the flue gas heater 3. The heated flue gas enters the first catalyst bed 5 and the second catalyst bed 6, where carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen to generate carbon dioxide; when the temperature at the catalyst bed is lower than the required value, the standby heater 4 assists the flue gas heater 3, and the control system turns on the standby heater to ensure that the flue gas is heated to the required value and maintain continuous operation of the device; the catalyst model on the first catalyst bed 5 is palladium carbon (brand: Kramar), and the catalyst model on the second catalyst bed 6 is hopcalite catalyst.
[0041] 3. Waste heat recovery stage: The flue gas after the reaction enters the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9, where it is cooled by medium exchange, and heat energy is recovered and distributed. A part of it is used in the flue gas heater 3 to maintain the temperature required for the catalytic reaction, and the other part can be used for other heat energy needs of the factory. The ratio of the flow rate of the heat user network 11 to the output flow rate of the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9 is 1:2.2. 250kW of original heat energy passes through the flue gas heat exchange cooler 9, converting about 80% of the lost heat energy into usable energy, that is, 200kW. This 200kW of energy is enough to power the lighting and some small mechanical equipment in the factory. When the heat demand of the heat user network 11 is met, the medium is also cooled, and then transported back to the flue gas cooling section through the booster pump P1 to replenish the cooling medium.
[0042] In Example 2, the temperature of the flue gas before treatment was 126-160°C, the CO concentration was 5000 ppm, the temperature after treatment was 105-130°C, the carbon monoxide concentration was 500 ppm, and the removal efficiency of the device was 90%.
[0043] In the above embodiments, the system monitors and adjusts: the control system monitors the flue gas temperature T, flow F, pressure P and other parameters in real time to ensure efficient and stable operation of the device. According to the monitoring data, the system automatically adjusts the conditions of the induced draft fan, valve opening and catalyst reaction section to optimize the operating efficiency. Among them, the valve V0 is adjusted to control the catalytic combustion air velocity not higher than 10000 / h -1; Adjust valves V1, V2, V3, V4 to control the flow of heat exchange medium.
[0044] The embodiment of the utility model is equipped with safety devices such as a pressure relief valve and an emergency stop button. When the pressure sensor P in the device detects that the pressure in each section inside the device exceeds the safety pressure, the pressure relief valve is activated urgently. When the pressure continues to rise, the device automatically shuts down. The catalyst performance is checked regularly. When the catalyst bed is damaged or fails, the catalyst is quickly replaced through the catalyst spare bed 7 when necessary.
[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
