Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a biogas combustion control device, in particular to a biogas burner control device. Background Art

[0002] After sludge treatment at waste incineration plants, a large amount of biogas is produced. Because biogas contains methane, it is an ideal gas fuel and burns when mixed with an appropriate amount of air. Compared with other gases, it has better anti-explosion properties and is a good clean fuel, so it can be used as fuel for waste incineration burners. However, existing waste incineration burners have the following problems:

[0003] At present, furnace burners generally use ultraviolet sensors for flame detection. However, during the combustion process, the flame signal may be misjudged due to interference from other stray signals inside the furnace or unreasonable design of the ultraviolet sensor installation structure, resulting in unstable operation of the burner.

[0004] Failure to replenish fermentation materials in a biogas digester can lead to unstable gas pressure and combustion flames. This not only causes the burner to ignite frequently, but also hinders biogas transmission to the combustion equipment when the gas supply pressure is low during combustion. This can also lead to negative pressure in the digester, causing biogas backfire and explosions. These issues are urgent and need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Possibly, an alarm is also included, which sounds an alarm after activating the low air pressure switch, the high air pressure switch, and the low air pressure switch.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model:

[0028] Step 1: Click the ignition start button on the DCS system screen, the first contactor KM1 is energized, and the 220V control power supply and fan are started.

[0029] Step 2: Check the high, low and low air pressure switches of gas. If normal, the second relay KA2 and the third relay KA3 will be energized and feedback will be given to the DCS system.

[0030] Step 3: Install a leak detection switch SW4 in the pipe between the first and second main air valves XV1 and XV2. Based on the DCS system logic, if the leak detection switch SW4 detects a leak in either the first or second main air valve XV1 or XV2, the DCS system will display an alarm and cancel ignition. If there is no leak, proceed to the next step. (Logical condition for valve group leakage: If both the first and second main air valves XV1 and XV2 are leaking, the control valve group is considered qualified.)

[0031] 1. Judgment of the second main air valve: Close the second main air valve, open the first main air valve and close it after a delay of 3 seconds. At this time, the pressure at the leak detection switch SW4 should be the intake pressure. If the pressure does not rise to the preset value during 5 seconds, the rear valve is leaking, otherwise it is not leaking.

[0032] 2. Judgment of the first main air valve: Close the first main air valve, open the second main air valve and close it after a delay of 5S. At this time, the pressure at the leak detection switch SW4 should be zero. If the pressure rises to the preset value, the first main air valve is leaking. If it does not rise, it is not leaking.

[0033] Step 4: Fully open the air volume control valve MV2 and fully close the other valves to purge the combustible gas that may exist in the pipeline. The DCS delay is 30 seconds.

[0034] Step 5: The gas regulating valve MV1 and the air volume regulating valve MV2 maintain a minimum air-to-gas ratio opening.

[0035] Step 6: The low-fire ignition switch automatically closes, opens the first low-fire ignition valve SV1 and the second low-fire ignition valve SV2, turns on the high-voltage ignition coil and starts ignition.

[0036] Step 7: The ion flame detector detects the flame. If a flame signal is detected, the ignition coil is stopped and the next step is performed. If there is no flame signal within 6 seconds, the reverse procedure of step 6 is performed, the fourth step is performed, and the ignition is stopped.

[0037] Step 8: When the conditions for high-fire combustion are met, the DCS system automatically turns on the high-fire switch and opens the first and second main gas valves on the pipeline.

[0038] Step 9: According to the actual situation of process use, the furnace temperature can be automatically adjusted by PID through the functional module of the DCS system to adjust the gas and air volume regulating valves to control the flame size and furnace temperature.

[0039] Step 10: An anaerobic tank pressure transmitter is installed at the outlet of the anaerobic tank, and an anaerobic tank pressure control valve is installed at the top of the anaerobic tank. The pressure in the anaerobic tank is controlled by the anaerobic tank pressure control valve to reduce the tempering problem caused by uneven pressure in the anaerobic tank.

[0040] At the same time, in order to avoid safety accidents, the following conditions are set in the DCS control system to stop working:

[0041] 1. Stop when hot air temperature is high

[0042] 2. Stop when exhaust temperature is high

[0043] 3. Stop when flue gas flow is low

[0044] 4. Furnace outlet flue gas temperature is high and the furnace stops

[0045] 5. Gas pressure low stop

[0046] 6. Blower failure

[0047] 7. Furnace flameout and stop

[0048] 8. Burner failure and shutdown

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any person skilled in the art who, without departing from the scope of the present invention, makes any equivalent substitution, modification, or other variation to the technical solution and technical content disclosed herein shall be deemed to fall within the scope of the present invention and remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
