Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of organic waste gas treatment technology in ship painting, specifically to a catalytic oxidation (CO) furnace structure with high-efficiency heat insulation performance and easy maintenance and operation. Background Technology
[0002] Shipbuilding has become one of the more popular industries in recent years, and its main processes include steel pretreatment, sectional welding, painting, and assembly. Because these processes generate various forms of pollution, including noise and exhaust fumes, these sources of pollution have become a key focus for shipyards and environmental protection departments.
[0003] In the aforementioned processes, ship painting is a typical source of organic waste gas pollution, primarily from paint volatilization. The concentration of waste gas generated during ship painting operations is related to various factors such as section shape, paint type, and on-site personnel arrangements, exhibiting significant irregularities and distinct peaks and troughs. Furthermore, due to the need for high-volume air exchange in the painting booth according to relevant standards during painting operations, the amount of organic waste gas generated is substantial, with hourly airflow reaching tens of thousands of cubic meters.
[0004] To address the characteristics of "large volume and irregular concentration" of organic waste gas from painting, the commonly used treatment process is the relatively mature "pre-filtration + rotary adsorption + regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) / catalytic oxidation (CO)". This process uses porous molecular sieves / zeolite rotors to specifically adsorb the organic components in the waste gas, followed by high-temperature gas desorption and concentration, thus solving the "large volume" problem. Furthermore, since the main components of painting organic waste gas are hydrocarbons and alcohols, and it does not contain elements such as sulfur and chlorine that are unsuitable for combustion treatment, thermal oxidation can degrade the organic components into carbon dioxide and water, achieving harmless treatment. Among these processes, catalytic oxidation, using precious metals as catalysts, can significantly reduce the thermal oxidation reaction temperature (around 400℃, compared to over 760℃ without a catalyst) and does not involve open flame combustion, making it the preferred process for treating painting organic waste gas in explosion-proof areas.
[0005] The organic waste gas generated during ship painting operations is characterized by large volume and significant concentration fluctuations. Existing catalytic oxidation furnaces have the following drawbacks:
[0006] 1. The furnace outer wall suffers severe heat loss, resulting in high operating energy consumption;
[0007] 2. The high temperature of the outer wall (>80℃) poses a risk of burns;
[0008] 3. Maintenance requires the removal of the side wall insulation layer, which is a complex operation.
[0009] For example, although patent document (CN112484061A) optimizes combustion efficiency, it does not solve the problem of high temperature on the furnace surface; although patent document (CN114791107A) involves heat recovery, its swirling combustion structure is not suitable for coating exhaust gas treatment scenarios.
[0010] As major shipyards need to "reduce costs and increase efficiency," the energy consumption of various production support equipment, such as coating organic waste gas treatment equipment, has become a significant factor restricting equipment operation. For catalytic oxidation processes, improving the heat storage efficiency of the CO furnace can effectively reduce heat loss during system operation and significantly reduce equipment energy consumption, while ensuring equipment processing efficiency and compliance with emission standards. Based on the current state of industry development, these core points are precisely the problems that this utility model urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-maintain insulated CO furnace that reduces heat loss during operation without affecting the overall purification efficiency of the CO furnace, thus saving overall system energy consumption.

[0013] Furthermore, an insulation layer is provided on the inner wall of the connecting pipe between the auxiliary heating device and the furnace.
[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the heat-insulating rubber edging of the reinforcing rib is 5-10mm, and the covering length accounts for 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the total length of the reinforcing rib.
[0015] Furthermore, the maintenance door adopts a hinged structure, and an aluminum silicate sealing strip is installed between the door frame and the outer wall of the furnace.
[0016] Furthermore, the angled guide vane forms an angle of 30-45° with the air intake direction.
[0017] Furthermore, during operation, the surface temperature of the outer wall of the furnace is ≤40℃, and the temperature of the outer wall corresponding to the reinforcing rib is ≤60℃.
[0018] Furthermore, the catalyst is a honeycomb Pt-Pd composite catalyst with a loading density of 200-300 mesh.
[0019] Furthermore, the inner wall of the furnace is made of 310S stainless steel with a thickness of 8-12mm.
[0020] Furthermore, the insulation layer has a thickness of 150-200mm and a thermal conductivity of ≤0.05W / (m·K).
[0021] Furthermore, the CO furnace also includes a temperature sensor group to monitor the temperature of the furnace outer wall in real time and link it to an alarm device. When the temperature exceeds a set threshold, an audible and visual alarm is triggered.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
