[0002] At present, hydrogen-based shaft furnace direct iron reduction technology has been widely used as the main non-blast furnace ironmaking technology. Hydrogen-based shaft furnace smelting has many advantages, including low energy consumption, short process, energy saving and emission reduction. This technology can not only significantly improve the quality of steel products, but also greatly reduce the carbon emissions per ton of steel products. At present, the application of hydrogen-based shaft furnace technology is rapidly expanding and has become the main direction of the green and low-carbon transformation and development of the steel industry.
[0003] In the production process of hydrogen-based vertical furnace, the temperature of process gas at the inlet of vertical furnace must reach a high level, which needs to be greater than 1000℃ to meet the requirements of hydrogen-based vertical furnace smelting; therefore, the hydrogen-based vertical furnace system has extremely high performance requirements for process gas heating equipment - "heating furnace", which not only requires the heating furnace to have a high combustion chamber temperature, but also must be able to operate safely, efficiently and stably for a long period of time. Therefore, the safe startup and burning control of the heating furnace are of great significance to the entire hydrogen-based vertical furnace direct reduction plant.
[0004] At present, the tubular heating furnaces used in the industrial field usually have a low operating temperature of less than 700°C, and the working conditions are also very different from those of hydrogen-based direct reduction plants. If similar startup and furnace burning control systems are used, there will not only be certain safety hazards, but also be detrimental to maximizing energy efficiency. Therefore, with the vigorous development of hydrogen-based vertical furnace direct reduction technology, the industry urgently needs a heating furnace safe and fast startup and furnace burning control system that can perfectly match the production conditions of hydrogen-based direct reduction vertical furnaces, so as to achieve efficient and stable operation of the entire plant.

[0020] Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the control steps of the safe start-up and burning control system of the hydrogen-based vertical furnace heating furnace are as follows:
[0021] 1. Open the bottom gas pressure regulating valve 9, introduce the coke oven gas from the gas pipeline 3 to the bottom gas front stop valve 10 of the bottom gas pipeline, and close the bottom gas release valve 11 and the bottom gas rear stop valve 12 at the same time to ensure the normal gas supply of the bottom gas pipeline. Then, observe the pressure gauge 22 behind the bottom gas front stop valve 10 and continuously monitor the pressure change within 2 minutes. If no pressure change is observed during this period, it means that the bottom gas front stop valve 10 is well sealed, ensuring the air tightness and stability of the system.
[0022] 2. When testing the air tightness of the bottom gas relief valve 11 and the hand valve before the burner, first ensure that the front and rear stop valves of the bottom gas are in the open state, and then close the bottom gas relief valve 11. Next, open the bottom gas pressure regulating valve 9 and adjust the air pressure in the pipeline to about 30kpa to establish the test conditions. Then, close the front stop valve 10 of the bottom gas and start timing for 5 minutes. During this period, monitor the changes in the air pressure in the pipeline. If the pressure reduction is within 5%, it means that the air tightness of the bottom gas relief valve 11 and the hand valve before the burner is good and the test result is qualified.
[0023] 3. When testing the air tightness of the bottom gas stop valve 12, first close the valve, then open the bottom gas release valve 11 to reduce the pressure in the pipeline to zero. Next, close the bottom gas release valve 11 and start observing the changes in the pressure gauge 22. In the next 5 minutes, if the pressure displayed on the pressure gauge drops below 1kpa, it means that the air tightness of the bottom gas stop valve 12 is qualified. Through this strict air tightness test, the reliability and safety of the bottom gas pipeline valve are ensured. Once the air tightness test of the bottom gas pipeline valve is passed, the bottom ignition can be ignited and the subsequent heating furnace operation can be carried out.
[0024] 4. The heating furnace has 30 burners 23 in total, which are distributed in 3 rows, 10 in each row. After the burner test is completed, all 30 bottom burners 24 need to be ignited within 40 minutes. If the bottom burner 24 fails to ignite, immediate measures need to be taken. At this time, first open the bottom gas release valve 11 to release the remaining gas in the pipeline. Then, the remaining gas of the coke oven gas is discharged through the release tower 13 to ensure that the gas in the pipeline is completely removed.
[0025] 5. After all the bottom burners 24 of the 30 heating furnace burners 23 are lit, the main burner 25 is ignited.
[0026] 6. Before igniting the main burner 25, it is necessary to conduct an air tightness test on each valve of the main gas pipeline.
[0027] 7. When testing the air tightness of the main gas front stop valve 4, first ensure that there is a certain pressure before the front stop valve. Then, open the main gas relief valve 5 and the main gas rear stop valve 6 to ensure that the gas in the pipeline can be discharged smoothly. After the pressure gauge 22 shows 0, immediately close the main gas relief valve 5 and the main gas rear stop valve 6, and start to observe the changes in the pressure gauge 22. In the next 5 minutes, if the pressure displayed on the pressure gauge drops below 1kpa, it means that the air tightness of the main gas front stop valve 4 is qualified.
[0028] 8. When testing the air tightness of the main gas relief valve 5 and the hand valve before the main burner, first ensure that the main gas front and rear stop valves are in the open state. Then, close the main gas relief valve 5, open the main gas flow regulating valve 7, and adjust the air pressure in the pipeline to about 30kpa. Then, close the main gas front stop valve 4 and start timing for 5 minutes. During this period, monitor the changes in the air pressure in the pipeline. If the pressure drop is within 5%, it means that the air tightness of the main gas relief valve 5 and the hand valve before the main burner is good and the test result is qualified.
[0029] 9. When testing the air tightness of the main gas rear stop valve 6, first ensure that the valve is closed and open the main gas release valve 5 to ensure that the gas in the pipeline can be discharged smoothly. Then, wait for the pressure gauge 22 to display 0, immediately close the main gas release valve 5, and start to observe the changes in the pressure gauge. In the next 15 minutes, if the pressure displayed on the pressure gauge drops below 1kpa, it means that the air tightness of the main gas rear stop valve 6 is qualified.
[0030] 10. After the air tightness test of the main gas pipeline is passed, the main fire port 25 of the heating furnace burner 23 can be ignited to heat the heating furnace.
[0031] 11. After the heating and ignition are completed, when process waste gas is generated, using the process waste gas to burn the furnace can save costs.
[0032] 12. First analyze the composition of process waste gas. When the process waste gas analysis is qualified and meets the combustion conditions, merge it into the process waste gas.
[0033] 13. Open the process waste gas front stop valve 15 and the process waste gas rear stop valve 16, and close the process waste gas release valve 19.
[0034] 14. Control the process waste gas flow regulating valve 17 according to the required temperature of the heating furnace.
[0035] 15. When an abnormal situation occurs during the heating furnace burning, emergency measures must be taken immediately to ensure safety. First, close the main gas front stop valve 4, the main gas rear stop valve 6 and the main gas flow regulating valve 7 at the same time to stop the supply and regulation of the main gas. Next, close the bottom gas pressure regulating valve 9, the bottom gas front stop valve 10 and the bottom gas rear stop valve 12 to stop the supply of bottom gas. At the same time, close the process waste gas front stop valve 15 and the process waste gas rear stop valve 16 to stop the discharge of process waste gas. Finally, while closing the process waste gas regulating valve 17, open the main gas release valve 5, the bottom gas release valve 11 and the process waste gas release valve 18 to release the gas in the pipeline.
