[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details are presented in the various embodiments of this application to facilitate a better understanding of the application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the various embodiments below is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this application. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.
[0028] Currently, existing technologies lack sufficient synergy in heat recovery, sulfur and carbon separation, and hydrogen distribution from coal syngas, resulting in room for improvement in the energy efficiency and carbon reduction of thermal power plants.
[0029] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a high-proportion hydrogen blending production system for a coal-fired power plant, comprising:
[0030] The power plant boiler 1 can burn pulverized coal to convert water into high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which serves as the power source for the steam turbine 8 to generate electricity. Simultaneously, the power plant boiler 1 can also burn combustible gas to aid combustion or replace coal. The equipment in this system for preparing the combustible gas to be burned in the power plant boiler 1 includes:
[0031] Gasifier 2 uses oxygen and coal to produce a first syngas, which contains at least CO2, CO, H2S, and H2; preferably, steam may also be added to participate in the synthesis of the first syngas. The dry basis composition of the first syngas may be 65% CO, 28% H2, 7% CO2, and 0.5% H2S.
[0032] In the shift converter 3, some or all of the CO in the first syngas is converted into CO2, facilitating centralized carbon capture in the subsequent desulfurization and decarbonization unit 5. The heat and water vapor in the first syngas are recovered through the heat recovery unit 4. In the shift converter 3, the shift reaction is CO + H2O → CO2 + H2. Since this reaction is exothermic, high-pressure steam is produced as a byproduct, which is supplied to the power plant for its own use or to heat users. During the heat recovery process, low-pressure steam is produced as a byproduct. The heat recovery unit 4 is equipped with a heat exchanger through which water flows, with the temperature controlled between 20 and 50°C. The heated water forms low-pressure steam, which can be supplied to the power plant for its own use or to heat users. The water vapor in the first syngas is condensed and discharged after heat exchange, transforming the first syngas into a dry second syngas. At this point, the dry basis composition of the gas includes, but is not limited to, 56% H2, 43% CO2, and 0.5% H2S, with other gases present in smaller quantities.
[0033] The dried second syngas enters the desulfurization and decarbonization unit 5 for separation, where CO2 and H2S are separated and collected, and the remainder is the third syngas. The desulfurization and decarbonization unit 5 can employ physical absorption separation, adsorption separation, membrane separation, and chemical absorption separation. Preferably, it uses low-temperature methanol washing physical absorption separation or NHD physical absorption separation. CO2 is used to produce chemical products to achieve carbon capture, and H2S is used to produce sulfur. At this point, the third syngas contains H2 under high pressure, the pressure of which depends on the gasification pressure.
[0034] Although a higher hydrogen content is better for the calorific value of the third syngas in this application, under existing technology and equipment, to reduce the probability of explosion during combustion of the third syngas, the hydrogen content in the third syngas needs to be adjusted by the component blending device 6 before entering the power plant boiler 1. Preferably, the blended mixture contains only a small amount of combustible gas other than hydrogen; therefore, the mass percentage of hydrogen can be adjusted to 60%-99%. The blended third syngas (mixed gas) remains under high pressure. A pressure reducing device is provided between the component blending device 6 and the power plant boiler 1 to reduce the pressure of the blended third syngas. Before entering the power plant boiler 1, the pressure can be reduced to a suitable level for combustion.
[0035] In the production system of this application, the gasifier 2 gasifies part of the coal into first syngas, and then the CO in the first syngas is converted into CO2 in advance. The desulfurization and decarbonization device 5 collects CO2 and H2S respectively. CO2 and H2S participate in the blending device 6 to blend the proportion of hydrogen in the third syngas. After reaching an appropriate mass ratio, it is sent to the power plant boiler 1 for combustion, which can enable high-proportion hydrogen co-firing and achieve the purpose of carbon reduction.
[0036] In one embodiment, the component blending device 6 can adjust the proportion of hydrogen in the third synthesis gas in various ways, including:
[0037] Optionally, the third syngas is mixed with the second syngas in the component blending device 6 to adjust the proportion of hydrogen in the third syngas.
[0038] Optionally, the third syngas is mixed with the CO2 obtained from conversion and decarbonization in the component blending device 6 to adjust the proportion of hydrogen in the third syngas.
[0039] Optionally, the third syngas is mixed with the H2S obtained from desulfurization in the component blending device 6 to adjust the proportion of hydrogen in the third syngas.
[0040] In one embodiment, the production system provides oxygen to the gasifier 2 in two ways: by using an air separator to separate oxygen from the air; or by using a water electrolysis device to electrolyze water, and the oxygen obtained from the electrolysis is provided to the gasifier 2.
[0041] In one alternative technical solution, the coal burned in the power plant boiler 1 is raw coal type 1; the coal used in the gasifier 2 is raw coal type 2. To achieve better early carbon capture and reduction effects, the proportion of raw coal type 2 is higher than 20% of the total weight of raw coal type 1 and raw coal type 2, thereby allowing more hydrogen to participate in combustion or replace coal. Both raw coal type 1 and raw coal type 2 are pulverized into pulverized coal by the coal mill 7, and the pulverized coal entering the gasifier 2 is also dried.
[0042] In one embodiment, the low-pressure steam obtained when the gasifier 2 produces the first syngas is provided to the power plant for its own use or to heat users; the slag and black water produced by the gasifier 2 are treated by a slag discharge device and a black water treatment device.
[0043] Furthermore, the gasifier 2 is one of the following types: fixed bed, fluidized bed, and entrained flow bed.
[0044] Furthermore, the power plant's steam turbine 8 extracts steam or a steam boiler provides superheated steam to the gasifier 2.
[0045] In addition, the production system of this application also involves some necessary steam pipelines, temperature regulation devices, pressure regulation devices, switching valves, etc. The specific structure of these devices or components is not limited in this application.
