TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The technical field of the utility model relates to the industrial environmental protection technical field, especially relates to a flue gas SCR denitration urea hydrolysis dilution air heating system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Thermal power plants, as traditional air pollution sources, emit nitrogen oxides (NOx) which become the focus of control. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) flue gas denitration technology is widely used to reduce NOx emissions due to its high efficiency and reliability. In the SCR flue gas denitration system, the choice of reducing agent is crucial. Common reducing agents include ammonia water, liquid ammonia, and ammonia produced by urea. Although liquid ammonia has certain advantages in terms of operating cost and investment cost, its potential safety risks limit its application. In contrast, urea, as a raw material for ammonia production, is gradually gaining more favor due to its non-toxicity, safety in transportation and storage, and other advantages.
[0003] Urea ammonia production mainly includes urea hydrolysis and urea pyrolysis processes. The urea hydrolysis process involves reacting urea solution at specific temperature and pressure conditions to produce ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. This process usually occurs at about 150℃. To achieve the required ammonia concentration for denitration, the generated mixed gas must be mixed with dilution air. However, when the temperature of the mixed gas is below 130℃, the reverse reaction occurs, producing ammonium carbamate crystals, which can cause pipe and equipment blockage. Therefore, ensuring that the temperature of the mixed gas remains between 150-180℃ is crucial to prevent blockage and maintain normal operation of the system.
[0004] Currently, common methods for heating dilution air include electric heating and steam heating. However, electric heating consumes a large amount of electricity, while steam heating consumes a large amount of high-quality steam, both of which are not economical in terms of operating costs. This challenge has prompted the industry to seek more efficient and economical solutions to ensure that the SCR flue gas denitration system meets increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements while also achieving economic operation.
