Detailed Implementation
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the carbon petroleum coke calciner heat energy recovery and utilization system proposed in this embodiment includes a water supply pipe 1, a steam drum 2, an evaporator 4, a connecting component, a power generation device, a water supply component, and a boiler feedwater pipeline 15.
[0016] Steam drum 2 has a water inlet, a water outlet, a water-steam mixture end, and a steam outlet. The height of the water inlet and the water-steam mixture end is higher than that of the water outlet end, and lower than that of the steam outlet end. A liquid level sensor and a pressure sensor are installed inside steam drum 2. An industrial control computer enables real-time monitoring of the water level inside steam drum 2 and automatic water replenishment, preventing the evaporator 4 from dry-burning due to insufficient water.
[0017] Water supply pipe 1 is connected to the water inlet of steam drum 2 and is used to supply water into steam drum 2.
[0018] The evaporator 4 includes a sleeve, a first ring pipe 5 and a second ring pipe 7 connected to both ends of the sleeve, and multiple heat exchange tubes 6 connecting the first ring pipe 5 and the second ring pipe 7. The multiple heat exchange tubes 6 are attached to the inner wall of the sleeve and evenly distributed around the sleeve. The evaporator 4 is installed at the discharge port of the calcining furnace tank 100 through the sleeve, that is, directly sleeved at the discharge port of the carbon calcining furnace, which facilitates rapid cooling of the discharged high-temperature calcined petroleum coke material. An inlet flange is provided on the first ring pipe 5, and a water inlet pipe 3 is connected between the inlet flange and the water outlet of the steam drum 2. The cold water in the steam drum 2 enters the first ring pipe 5 through the water inlet pipe 3 and flows to the heat exchange tubes 6. The water absorbs the heat of the high-temperature calcined petroleum coke material through the heat exchange tubes 6 for cooling. At the same time, the water heats up and generates steam. An outlet flange is provided on the second ring pipe 7. A steam pipe 8 connects the outlet flange and the water-steam mixing end of the steam drum 2. The mixture of water and steam enters the second ring pipe 7 from the heat exchange pipe 6 and continues to enter the steam drum 2 through the steam pipe 8, thus realizing heat recovery.
[0019] One calcining furnace tank 100 corresponds to one evaporator 4. Generally, dozens of evaporators 4 are equipped. The dozens of evaporators 4 are connected together to transport the mixture of water and steam to the steam drum 2.
[0020] The power generation unit uses equipment such as steam turbine generators to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy. The power generation unit includes a deaerator 12, which has a demineralized water end, a steam inlet end, and a drain end.
[0021] The connecting components include a steam pipe 9, a steam header 10, and a low-pressure steam pipe 11 connected in sequence. The steam pipe 9 is connected to the steam outlet of the steam drum 2, and the low-pressure steam pipe 11 is connected to the steam inlet of the deaerator 12. The steam pressure range entering the low-pressure steam pipe 11 is generally 0.1-1.0 MPa.
[0022] Inside the steam drum 2, due to the larger space, the flow rate of the steam-water mixture entering from the steam-water mixing end of the steam drum 2 decreases, achieving steam-water separation based on the difference in steam and water density. The separated steam enters the deaerator 12 of the power generation unit through the connecting component. The separated water is then transported back to the evaporator 4 through the water outlet end of the steam drum 2 to continue participating in the heat exchange process.
[0023] The water supply assembly includes a demineralized water pipeline 13 connected to the demineralized water end of the deaerator 12 and a demineralized water regulating valve 14 installed on the demineralized water pipeline 13.
[0024] The boiler feedwater pipeline 15 is connected to the drain end of the deaerator 12, so the discharged water can also be recycled.
[0025] This embodiment transfers the waste heat from the petroleum coke in the calcining furnace to water via evaporator 4. The water's temperature and pressure increase, absorbing heat and converting into steam. This steam is then piped to the deaerator 12 of the power generation unit, serving as one of the heating steam sources for the deaerator 12. This saturated steam is used for thermal deoxygenation, reducing corrosion and scaling on the equipment while simultaneously saving high-quality steam thermal energy for power generation. Therefore, this system effectively utilizes the waste heat from the petroleum coke in the calcining furnace and combines it with process water for deoxygenation, demonstrating broad application prospects and market value.
[0026] The heat recovery and utilization system for the carbon petroleum coke canister calciner of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0027] 1. It makes full use of the waste heat from calcining petroleum coke in the calcining furnace, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0028] 2. Reduced additional steam consumption: Traditional deaerator systems typically require drawing steam from the main steam header to heat demineralized water, while the steam provided by this system can completely replace this part of the steam, reducing the demand for steam from the main steam header, thereby increasing the amount of steam available for power generation and improving power generation.
[0029] 3. Improved system stability: The calcination process is generally continuous and stable, and the steam supply generated is relatively stable, which helps to maintain the stable operation of the deaerator system and reduce problems such as unstable deaeration effect caused by fluctuations in steam supply.
[0030] 4. The steam produced by this system can deoxygenate the process water, improving product quality and equipment lifespan.
[0031] 5. Low operation and maintenance costs.
[0032] 6. Effectively ensures cooling of calcined petroleum coke, increases calcination furnace capacity, and results in high product yield.
[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
