Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically a high-efficiency black water waste heat power generation system. Background Technology

[0002] The pulverized coal gasification process generates a large amount of relatively high-temperature black water. The existing process mainly involves flash evaporation to treat non-condensable gases, and the liquid portion is cooled and discharged, resulting in a huge waste of waste heat and a huge waste of water resources and electricity consumption during the cooling process.

[0003] The pulverized coal gasification process system mainly consists of a gasifier system, a syngas purification system, and a black water treatment system. The gasifier is equipped with a gasification chamber and a quench chamber; the syngas purification system consists of a cyclone separator and a scrubbing tower; the black water treatment system consists of a high-pressure flash tank, a low-pressure flash tank, and a condenser system. The main function of the black water treatment system is to treat the black water containing slag and ash generated during the gasification and syngas purification processes, separating solid particulate matter and non-condensable gases dissolved in the black water, and achieving a very small portion of the black water reuse. The high-temperature black water undergoes high-speed flash treatment to remove non-condensable gases and recover a very small portion of the water, followed by low-speed flash treatment to recover another small portion of the water. After clarification, fine slag is recovered for reuse, while the ash water is discharged as wastewater.

[0004] The search revealed that existing technologies suffer from problems such as waste of waste heat and water resources from gasification of black water, as well as significant electricity consumption. Utility Model Content

The multi-stage flash evaporation device is used to perform multi-stage flash evaporation treatment on the blackwater produced by the gasifier, generating flash steam at different pressures. The heat exchange device is used to receive the flash steam generated by the multi-stage flash evaporation device and exchange heat, condensing the flash steam into liquid. The power generation device is used to receive the clean steam generated by the heat exchange device for power generation. The condensation recovery device is used to cool the non-condensable gases and steam generated by the multi-stage flash evaporation device and the heat exchange device, recover the condensate, and dispose of the non-condensable gases. The multi-stage flash evaporation device, the heat exchange device, the power generation device, and the condensation recovery device are connected by transmission pipelines.

[0008] Furthermore, the multi-stage flash evaporation device includes at least one high-pressure flash evaporation tank and one low-pressure flash evaporation tank. The high-pressure flash evaporation tank is used to perform high-pressure flash evaporation treatment on the black water, and the low-pressure flash evaporation tank is used to perform low-pressure flash evaporation treatment on the black water after high-pressure flash evaporation treatment.

[0009] Furthermore, the high-pressure flash tank is configured as a three-stage system: a primary high-pressure flash tank, a secondary high-pressure flash tank, and a tertiary high-pressure flash tank. The primary high-pressure flash tank receives black water produced by the gasifier and evaporates it into primary high-pressure flash steam at a pressure approximately 50% of the black water discharge pressure. The water discharged from the primary high-pressure flash tank enters the secondary high-pressure flash tank, which receives water discharged from the primary high-pressure flash tank and evaporates it into secondary high-pressure flash steam at a pressure approximately 25% of the black water discharge pressure. The water discharged from the secondary high-pressure flash tank and the liquid condensed from the steam in the primary high-pressure flash tank after heat exchange enter the tertiary high-pressure flash tank, which flashes steam at a pressure approximately 15% of the black water discharge pressure.

[0010] Furthermore, the first-stage high-pressure flash tank, the second-stage high-pressure flash tank, and the third-stage high-pressure flash tank are connected in series. The liquid discharge portion of the third-stage high-pressure flash tank enters the low-pressure flash tank. The low-pressure flash tank flashes out steam with a pressure of approximately 0.2 MPa. The heat exchange device includes at least two evaporators. The steam inlet of the evaporator is connected to the flash steam outlet of the multi-stage flash evaporation device to receive the flash steam and condense it into liquid through heat exchange.

[0011] Furthermore, the evaporator includes a primary high-pressure evaporator and a secondary high-pressure evaporator. The steam inlet of the primary high-pressure evaporator is connected to the flash steam outlet of the primary high-pressure flash tank, receiving primary high-pressure flash steam and condensing it through heat exchange. The steam inlet of the secondary high-pressure evaporator is connected to the flash steam outlet of the secondary high-pressure flash tank, receiving secondary high-pressure flash steam and condensing it through heat exchange.

[0012] Furthermore, the power generation device is a steam-assisted condensing power generation device. The steam inlet of the steam-assisted condensing power generation device is connected to the steam outlet of the heat exchange device, and is used to receive the clean steam generated by the heat exchange device for power generation. The generated electricity is connected to the plant's power system after passing through a frequency converter. The condensation recovery device includes at least one high-pressure condenser and one low-pressure condenser. The high-pressure condenser is used to cool the mixture of steam and non-condensable gas generated by the high-pressure flash tank in the multi-stage flash evaporation device, and the low-pressure condenser is used to cool the steam generated by the low-pressure flash tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the high-pressure condenser is a three-stage high-pressure condenser, used to cool the mixture of steam and non-condensable gas flashed from the three-stage high-pressure flash tank. After cooling, the non-condensable gas enters the flare combustion treatment pipeline for combustion treatment, and the condensate is recycled for use in other process systems. The low-pressure condenser is used to cool the steam flashed from the low-pressure flash tank, and the condensate is recycled for use in other process systems. The liquid discharge portion of the low-pressure flash tank enters the ash water treatment tank. The transmission pipeline is used for, but not limited to, the transmission of black water, flash steam, condensate, and non-condensable gas.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During operation, this high-efficiency blackwater waste heat power generation system utilizes a multi-stage flash evaporation device to progressively flash-evaporate the high-temperature blackwater produced by the gasifier, generating flash steam at different pressures. This fully utilizes the waste heat resources in the blackwater, improving its utilization rate. Simultaneously, a condensation recovery device cools non-condensable gases and steam, recovering the condensate for use in other process systems, further reducing water waste. Compared to existing technologies, this invention not only reduces blackwater waste heat but also lowers water and electricity consumption during the cooling process, achieving highly efficient energy utilization.

[0015] This blackwater waste heat high-efficiency power generation system integrates multi-stage flash evaporation devices, heat exchange devices, power generation devices, and condensation recovery devices to form a complete system. This directly reduces the plant's electricity consumption by converting blackwater waste heat into electrical energy, thus lowering the overall energy consumption of the process system. Furthermore, the condensation recovery device cools non-condensable gases and steam, reducing energy consumption from flare combustion and further enhancing the system's economic efficiency.
