Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of burners, and particularly designs a sulfur recovery tail gas incineration device. Background Technique
[0002] Hydrogen sulfide-containing sour gas is generally generated in the production processes such as petroleum refining, natural gas purification, coking, coal gasification, and petroleum processing. Since hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic, flammable, and explosive, this gas cannot be directly discharged into the atmosphere. Usually, a tail gas incinerator is required to incinerate and oxidize the tail gas generated in the sulfur recovery process in the furnace before discharging. With the increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, many petrochemical plants have put forward requirements for lower emission indicators for sulfur recovery tail gas incinerators. For example, volatile organic compound waste gases discharged from devices such as sulfur-containing storage tanks and liquid pools are also sent into the incinerator for incineration treatment, making it more difficult to control the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO X ), non-methane total hydrocarbons, etc. at the outlet of the tail gas incinerator. In existing burners, due to the uneven mixing of tail gas and air, the concentration of tail gas after incineration often fails to meet the standards. Therefore, developing a burner to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the tail gas after incineration and make the tail gas emissions meet the national standards is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art.

[0039] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended invention purpose, the following, in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific embodiments, structures, features and their effects of the sulfur recovery tail gas incineration equipment proposed according to the present invention as follows.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the combustion method of the sulfur recovery tail gas incineration equipment of the present invention. The incineration equipment divides the fuel gas 33 into main fuel gas and secondary fuel gas. Among them, the main fuel gas enters the flue of the burner for combustion, and the secondary fuel gas is mixed with the tail gas 11 to be incinerated and then enters the furnace for combustion. Adding secondary fuel gas to the tail gas 11 to be incinerated can increase the calorific value of the tail gas, improve the combustion efficiency of the tail gas, reduce the generation of CO during the incineration process, facilitate the complete incineration of harmful substances in the tail gas, and at the same time, the separated secondary fuel gas can also reduce the amount of main fuel gas entering the flue, so that the temperature in the central region of the flame in the flue is reduced, and the generation of thermal NOx is reduced. Thus, the present invention can reduce the generation of NOx and CO simultaneously by dividing the fuel gas into main fuel gas entering the flue for combustion and secondary fuel gas mixed with the tail gas to be incinerated. Preferably, the flow rate of the secondary fuel gas is less than 1 / 3 of the total fuel gas flow rate, so that the temperature in the flue is maintained at 1400 - 1600 degrees Celsius. The combustion-supporting air 44 for the fuel gas is also divided into two stages, namely primary combustion-supporting air entering the flue of the burner to support the combustion of the main fuel gas and secondary combustion-supporting air entering the incineration furnace to support the combustion of the mixture of secondary fuel gas and tail gas.

Preferably, one secondary air swirler 105 is provided in each small chamber of the tail gas chamber, and the tail gas passes through the gap between the secondary air swirler 105, the partition and the flue.
[0049] In another embodiment of the present utility model, the tail gas cavity 104 is an annular cavity located between the housing 101 and the flue 102. At this time, the tail gas cavity 104 only includes the annular cavity on the side away from the furnace chamber 107 between the housing 101 and the flue 102, and a tail gas cyclone is provided at the end (the end close to the furnace chamber) of the annular cavity. There are multiple tail gas cyclones, which are distributed on the outer periphery of the flue. One end of each tail gas cyclone is communicated with the tail gas cavity 104, and the other end is communicated with the furnace chamber.

Preferably, the angles between the swirl vanes of the secondary air cyclone and the tail gas cyclone and the central axis of the flue are both 20° to 60°.
[0050] The fuel spray gun is further provided with a steam inlet 6, and a one-way valve is provided at the steam inlet. When the incinerator is overheated or the NOX of the incinerator exceeds the standard, steam can be introduced for cooling.
[0051] The flue is provided with a conical inlet section, and the mixing gas fuel spray gun head of the fuel spray gun is arranged in the conical section inlet.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 5 , which is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 2 of the present utility model.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, a schematic structural view of Embodiment 3 of the present utility model.

The distribution member 202 includes a main body portion 2024 and a plurality of ribs 2025 distributed on the outer periphery of the main body portion. Flow guiding grooves 2026 for the tail gas to pass through are formed between adjacent ribs. And along the flowing direction of the tail gas, the thickness of each rib in the radial direction of the main body portion gradually increases, and a gas flow channel is provided in each rib, and a plurality of air holes 2023 are provided at a position where the end is far from the main body portion. Thus, the secondary fuel gas entering the main body 2024 of the distribution member 202 from the second delivery branch pipe flows through the gas flow channels in each rib 2025 to the end of the rib and is ejected from the air holes 2023 on the end face of the end, and is mixed with the tail gas in the flow guiding groove 2026. The arrangement of the ribs in this embodiment not only provides a flow guiding groove 2026 for the tail gas, but also enables the secondary fuel gas to be dispersed and ejected through small-sized air holes, so that the tail gas and the secondary fuel gas can be quickly and evenly mixed.
