Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue gas emission control and treatment technology, specifically to an ultra-low NOx control system for EDC pyrolysis furnace flue gas. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-fired boilers produce large amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during combustion, such as NO. The large emissions of NOx lead to serious air pollution problems such as acid rain, photochemical smog, and ozone pollution, further endangering human health.

[0003] In the context of "dual carbon" (carbon dioxide, carbon emissions, and carbon sequestration), energy conservation and emission reduction are particularly important. Ultra-low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in flue gas can be achieved through tail-end flue gas denitrification and source combustion control. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) are currently mature and effective tail-end flue gas denitrification technologies. Among them, SCR denitrification technology is a commonly used method for NOx emission control in gas-fired boilers. For details, please refer to Chinese patent application number CN202411073019.9, "A Novel π-Type Boiler SCR Denitrification Device".

[0004] In addition, low-NOx combustion technology is a more economical and green NOx control method. It can achieve low-NOx combustion by using technologies such as staged combustion, flue gas recirculation, and humidified combustion. For details, please refer to Chinese patent application number CN202411503216.X, "A Low-NOx Combustion Device".

Figure 3 As shown, the ammonia injection device 3 includes an ammonia vaporizer 31, an ammonia storage tank 32, a transfer pump 33, an ammonia injection fan 34, and a heater 35. Specifically, the ammonia vaporizer 31 is used to vaporize ammonia water into ammonia gas at 150-300°C; the ammonia water storage tank 32 is connected to the ammonia vaporizer 31 through the ammonia water delivery pipe 321; the delivery pump 33 is installed on the ammonia water delivery pipe 321 and is used to deliver ammonia water from the ammonia water storage tank 32 to the ammonia vaporizer 31, and the outlet of the delivery pump 33 is equipped with an independent flow regulating device; the ammonia injection fan 34 is connected to the ammonia vaporizer 31 through the air supply pipe 341, and the outlet of the ammonia injection fan 34 is equipped with an independent flow regulating device; the heater 35 is installed on the air supply pipe 341 and is used to heat the airflow delivered in the air supply pipe 341; the injector 36 is installed in the convection section 112 and is connected to the ammonia vaporizer 31 through the ammonia gas delivery pipe 361, and each independent nozzle of the injector 36 is equipped with an independent flow regulating device.

[0039] The SCR device 4 is installed inside the furnace 11 and located between the convection section 112 and the preheating section 113, with the aforementioned injector 36 arranged close to the SCR device 4.

[0040] The oxygen content online monitor 5 is installed between the radiation section 111 and the convection section 112 of the furnace 11 to monitor the oxygen content in the furnace 11.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] After the EDC pyrolysis furnace 1 is started, the induced draft fan 121 is started in conjunction with the online pressure monitor to control the pressure in the furnace 11 at a slightly negative pressure state (-0.5 to 0 kPaG);

[0046] Next, each burner 2 is ignited step by step, and the temperature change of the furnace 11 is monitored by the online temperature monitor. The natural gas flow and pressure are controlled to increase the load. The natural gas pressure is controlled at 0.01-0.3 MPaG, and the furnace 11 temperature is controlled at 150-800℃. After the load and temperature stabilize, the amount of premixed air in the first combustion section 21 of each burner 2 is adjusted one by one.

[0047] The oxygen content and combustible content changes in the furnace 11 are monitored in real time by the online oxygen content monitor 5 and the online combustible content monitor 6. Based on the oxygen content and combustible content, the air intake of the first-stage combustion section 21 of the burner 2 is adjusted to adjust the oxygen content in the furnace 11 to 0.5-5%, maintain a certain oxygen-deficient combustion, and control the generation of nitrogen oxides.

[0048] After the oxygen content and combustibles in the furnace 11 are adjusted, the number and position of burners 2 are adjusted according to the feedback from the online temperature monitor in order to achieve uniform temperature in the furnace 11 and control the inlet temperature of the SCR device 4. The denitrification reaction temperature range is 180 to 350°C.

[0049] After the temperature and oxygen content in the furnace 11 are stabilized, the ammonia injection device 3 and the SCR device 4 are started. The ammonia water feed rate is adjusted to 0.3-10 kg / h according to the NOx online monitoring instrument 7. The ammonia water is then evenly mixed with the flue gas through the ammonia injection device 3 before entering the SCR device 4 to achieve ultra-low NOx emission control.

[0050] This application adjusts the premixed air volume of several burners 2 to regulate the overall oxygen content within the furnace 11, maintaining a certain oxygen-deficient environment within the furnace 11. It also controls a certain reducing environment within the furnace 11 through staged combustion of the burners 2, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Simultaneously, based on measurements from multiple real-time monitoring devices, the overall operating status of the EDC pyrolysis furnace 1 is controlled by adjusting the status of several burners 2. In practical implementation, this application can achieve nitrogen oxide emissions of less than 50 mg / m³ without the SCR device 4 in operation. 3 After the SCR unit is put into operation, nitrogen oxide emissions can be controlled at 10 mg / m³. 3 The following approach effectively reduces nitrogen oxide emissions and the operating cost of SCR units, providing an effective energy-saving and emission-reduction retrofit technology solution for EDC pyrolysis furnaces. While maintaining the normal operation of EDC pyrolysis furnaces, it reduces the generation of nitrogen oxides and lowers the operating cost of SCR units.
