[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a PLC-based denitrification control system for the cement industry in this application includes a PLC controller, an ammonia water distribution module 1, a compressed air module, a heating module, and an SCR reactor 2.
[0025] The input end of the ammonia water distribution module 1 is connected to the ammonia water storage tank 13, and the output end of the ammonia water distribution module 1 is connected to the flue gas input end of the SCR reactor 2.
[0026] The output of the compressed air module is connected to the SCR reactor 2 to input compressed air into the SCR reactor 2 for supply to the sonic soot blower; the output of the compressed air module is also connected to the heating module, which is used to control the heating of the compressed air and supply it to the rake soot blower.
[0027] The outlet of SCR reactor 2 is equipped with an ammonia detection device for detecting the amount of ammonia escaping. The ammonia detection device, ammonia water distribution module 1, compressed air module, and heating module are all connected to the PLC controller.
[0028] The ammonia detection equipment mainly includes an ammonia concentration sensor and a flow meter. The amount of ammonia escaping can be obtained by multiplying the measured flow rate by the ammonia concentration. The ammonia water distribution module 1 is controlled based on the amount of ammonia escaping.
[0029] Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are widely used in industrial automation as an industrial automation control device due to their advantages such as high reliability, high flexibility, and ease of programming and maintenance.
[0030] The PLC-based denitrification control system in this application leverages the advantages of PLCs to optimize the control strategy for the denitrification process.

Specifically, it includes four gate valves 3, two of which are inlet gate valves 3 (one of which is a spare), and the other two are outlet gate valves 3 (one of which is a spare).
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the ammonia storage tank 13 is connected to the ammonia distribution module 1 via an ammonia supply pump 8, which pumps ammonia into the ammonia distribution module 1.
[0034] In this application, ammonia water and flue gas are fed together into SCR reactor 2 for denitrification reaction.

[0037] One path of unheated compressed air supplies the sonic sootblower for vibration cleaning.

Heated compressed air exhibits better catalytic performance.
[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the gas outlet of the SCR reactor 2 is connected to a waste heat boiler to send heated air to the waste heat boiler, thereby utilizing the waste heat from the reaction to provide a heat source for the boiler.

The outlet of the intermediate silo 10 is connected to the input end of the second zipper 11. The output end of the second zipper 11 is connected to the input end of the third zipper 12.

[0042] This application collects real-time ammonia slip data and automatically or manually adjusts the ammonia injection rate according to operating conditions, ensuring that the ammonia slip concentration is always maintained within the optimal range. The operation screen collects equipment control signals and operational feedback signals, enabling remote monitoring and control of key on-site equipment, and significantly reducing workload and risks when combined with on-site monitoring. The automatic soot blowing system allows operators to modify automatic operating parameters according to operating conditions, effectively adapting to various situations.
