TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cement kiln waste heat utilization, and particularly relates to a cement kiln waste heat multi-stage heat energy utilization system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cement, as a typical high energy consumption and high emission key industry, has always been concerned. At present, the main technical breakthrough directions of energy saving and emission reduction in the cement industry in the waste heat power generation system include: 1. Upgrading and upgrading of existing processes and equipment mainly aiming at energy efficiency improvement; 2. Raw material substitution mainly aiming at the emission problem in the calcination process; 3. Fuel substitution mainly aiming at the coal emission problem in the calcination process; 4. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) aiming at end-of-pipe disposal. According to the current situation of the cement industry, the development of technology and market preparation conditions, the four technical breakthrough directions play different roles in different periods. In the near future, the energy saving and emission reduction of cement kiln waste heat technology expects the upgrading and upgrading of existing processes and equipment.
[0003] The cement kiln waste heat mainly comes from the kiln tail flue gas and the grate cooler for clinker cooling. With the improvement of energy utilization technology, cement enterprises gradually adopt new type high efficiency low pressure loss six-stage preheating and pre-decomposition system. Despite this, the temperature at the outlet of the preheater C1 is still about 280℃. At the same time, the grate cooler has developed to the fourth generation, and the recovery efficiency, cooling efficiency and operation efficiency of the grate cooler have been greatly improved. At present, the cement kiln waste heat is mainly used for power generation, and the economic benefit of heat energy for power generation is not high: the cost of waste heat power generation system is high, 5000 yuan to 7000 yuan per kilowatt; the investment comprehensive return period is long, about 5 years; and professional technology and equipment are needed. Therefore, the diversified utilization of cement kiln waste heat will become a future trend.
[0004] The downstream industries of cement, such as aerated concrete block (ACC), aerated concrete board (ALC), pipe pile product (PC), concrete prefabricated component and calcium silicate board, mainly use cement as raw material in the manufacturing process, and need steam and temperature maintenance in the production process. Therefore, increasing the manufacturing of cement products in the cement plant can not only increase the energy utilization efficiency, but also increase the economic benefit of the cement plant. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The cement industry has become a key field of energy saving and carbon reduction due to its high carbon emissions and energy consumption, especially the energy structure dominated by coal process emissions. At present, all carbon reduction measures are aimed at: 1. low-carbon cement; 2. alternative fuels; 3. process and equipment modification to improve energy efficiency; 4. carbon capture, utilization and storage technology (CCUS). Among these measures, low-carbon cement and fuel substitution are relatively mature, while CCUS is still in the exploratory application stage. Most cement companies do not have the ability to experiment and error, so they need to find a smooth development path before the carbon reduction technology matures. This path must meet the requirements of energy saving and emission reduction, while also meeting the economic benefits of enterprises.
[0006] From the current problems faced by the cement industry: 1. The clinker utilization rate continues to decline, which means that cement companies will intensify peak production and industry elimination; 2. Energy saving and carbon reduction targets are constantly updated, and most companies face upgrading or consolidation; 3. Most cement companies lack the ability to innovate; 4. There is still room for waste heat utilization in cement plants.
[0007] The breakthrough direction for most cement plant waste heat power generation systems to save energy and reduce emissions is to upgrade equipment and processes. Cement plant equipment has been upgraded for several generations from research and development to the present, and the improvement space of future equipment is not proportional to the economic investment. In view of the current situation faced by cement companies, the present application provides a cement kiln waste heat multi-stage heat energy utilization system for the first time from the perspective of economic benefits, solving the above problems.

[0015] Further, the steam generating device is in communication with a gas distribution cylinder, which is in communication with a plurality of cement product related devices.
[0016] Further, at least one of a heat accumulator, a temperature and pressure reducer, a stop valve, a cold air valve, and a pressure relief valve is arranged on a pipeline between the gas distribution cylinder and the cement product related device.
[0017] Further, the cement product related device includes at least one of an aerated concrete product related device, a pipe pile product related device, a concrete precast product related device, and a calcium silicate board related device.
[0018] Further, the cement product related device includes at least one of a steam autoclave, a mixer, and a curing chamber.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0020] 1. Diversified economic benefits of a cement plant, the excess heat of the cement plant is used for power generation, and compared with the production of high value-added cement products, the economic benefits of the production of cement products will be greatly increased.
[0021] 2. Reducing production costs, the main raw materials for cement products are mainly cement, and auxiliary materials are sandstone, fly ash, gypsum, sandstone, aggregate, etc. The use of steam generated by the waste heat of cement can not only solve the temperature and steam required for equipment and maintenance during the production process of cement products, but also reduce the transportation cost of raw materials and the fuel cost of steam combustion. The production of cement products in the cement plant can reduce the transportation cost of raw materials and the fuel cost of steam combustion.
[0022] 3. Integrated energy-saving and environment-friendly building materials industry, the integrated production plan of cement and cement products is formulated according to local conditions to promote resource sharing and complementary ability of the industry, form positive feedback, improve production efficiency, and achieve the purpose of reducing comprehensive cost, and enhance the market competitiveness of the company. At the same time, the integrated industry shares the sewage and waste gas treatment system to achieve the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection. For example, there are great defects in the steam curing of concrete precast components, which consumes a large amount of steam and produces a large amount of waste water and waste gas. Sharing the cement plant flue gas and waste water treatment system can effectively improve the utilization rate.
[0023] 4. The flexibility of process arrangement is improved, in order to improve the efficiency of waste heat power generation, waste heat power generation needs to be built in a location close to the heat source.
