Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil shale dry distillation, in particular to a novel air supply system for an oil shale dry distillation process. Background Art

[0002] The original main fan air supply system is divided into two parts. One part is used as the main air to supply the distillation furnace after saturation heating in the saturation tower, and undergoes redox reaction with shale semi-coke to provide heat for shale distillation. The other part enters the heating furnace as combustion air and the flue gas after combustion of combustion gas to store heat for the checker bricks.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN201033773Y discloses an integrated system of oil shale microwave distillation and fluidized combustion, which includes a crushing and screening device, a screw feeder, a gravity feeder, a gas-solid separation device, a condensation recovery device, an internal combustion engine, a circulating fluidized bed boiler, the boiler heating surface, a steam turbine, a dust collector, an induced draft fan, a chimney, and a slag cooler. Its characteristics are: the screw feeder is connected to the rotating drum inlet of the microwave drum distillation device, and the rotating drum discharge port of the microwave drum distillation device is connected to the gas-solid separation device inlet; the gas-solid separation device is connected to the flow-type non-mechanical sealing valve through a pipeline, the flow-type non-mechanical sealing valve is connected to the high-pressure fan, and the return inclined pipe of the flow-type non-mechanical sealing valve is connected to the circulating fluidized bed boiler inlet; the gravity feeder is connected to the return inclined pipe of the flow-type non-mechanical sealing valve through a pipeline.

[0004] The invention patent with publication number CN104531195A discloses an externally heated oil shale dry distillation process, which is characterized by: the oil shale that has been dried and dehydrated is fed from the dry distillation storage hopper into an externally heated horizontal rotary dry distillation furnace for heat exchange with a heat pipe; the dry distillation product semi-coke and dry distillation gas are simultaneously fed into a gas-solid separation chamber; the solid part of the semi-coke is fed to a combustion furnace for combustion; the generated shale ash is discharged from the bottom of the combustion furnace; the generated high-temperature flue gas is fed into the externally heated horizontal rotary dry distillation furnace The flue gas is sent to the drying chamber at the tail of the externally heated horizontal rotary retort using the residual temperature of the flue gas to dry and remove water from the oil shale ore; the gas from the gas-solid separation chamber is sent to the cooling recovery system for condensation to recover shale oil, and the uncondensed gas is sent to the combustion furnace for combustion, and the generated flue gas is sent to the outside of the externally heated horizontal rotary retort for heat exchange, or sent to the nozzle for combustion outside the externally heated horizontal rotary retort to generate high-temperature flue gas for heat exchange with the heat pipe.

[0005] However, because the heating furnace is an intermittent heating furnace, in order to ensure sufficient temperature for shale distillation, it is necessary to switch between the combustion furnace and the circulation furnace every hour, that is, turn off the combustion gas and combustion air, introduce the circulating gas, and ignite the other heating furnace. Since they share a common fan, the switching process has a great impact on the main air pressure. Each switching takes at least 8 minutes, and the main air pressure will fluctuate within 10 minutes, causing production fluctuations.

[0030] The specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows: when in use, by adding a combustion fan 50, the outlet pipeline of the combustion fan 50 can be connected to the original combustion air pipeline, and the pipeline valve from the original main fan 20 to the combustion air can be closed to achieve separation of the main air and the combustion air, reducing the impact on the main air pressure during the switching process; the air supply sources of saturated air for dry distillation and combustion air for combustion can be separated to reduce mutual interference between the adjustments of the two; the combustion fan 50 is used as an independent air source for the combustion air of the heating furnace 60, and the exhaust gas generated by the cooling of the water basin of the dry distillation furnace 40 is extracted at the inlet of the combustion fan 50 to achieve zero emission of exhaust gas; and the traffic connection between the main fan 20 and the combustion fan 50 can serve as a mutual backup in emergency situations to ensure continuous production;

[0031] The parameters of the combustion fan 50 are determined based on the combustion air demand of the heating furnace 60. The main air for the dry distillation is separated from the combustion air of the heating furnace 60, forming two sets of air supply lines. During the switching of the heating furnace 60, the main air volume and main air pressure of the dry distillation are not affected. By adding the combustion fan 50, the fluctuation of the switching ingredients is reduced.

[0032] After the combustion fan 50 is shut down, there is basically no impact on the pressure of the main fan 20. The flow rate of the main fan 20 is set to be stable. The staff on duty only needs to adjust the remaining gas, which reduces the difficulty of operation and increases the safety factor. The outlet pressure of the main fan 20 remains stable and unchanged, which can extend the service life of the equipment.

[0033] During this process: the scattered exhaust gas from the distillation furnace water basin is collected by adjusting the opening of the combustion fan inlet butterfly valve 3, and the collected gas is sent into the heating furnace 60 in three stages through the combustion fan 50, the single furnace combustion air valve 11, the secondary air gate valve 13, and the tertiary air gate valve 14 as combustion air to provide oxygen for the combustion of the heating furnace 60. During the activation of the combustion fan 50, the combustion air main valve 10 can be closed to achieve the separation of the main air system and the combustion air system, reducing fluctuations during switching. If the air volume of the combustion fan 50 is insufficient, the combustion air main valve 10 can be appropriately opened to supplement the total amount of combustion air to meet production needs.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
