Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomass energy utilization technology, and more specifically to a co-combustion system for natural gas coupled with biomass fuel gas in a furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In today's energy landscape, the energy efficiency of kilns, as crucial thermal equipment in industrial production, is of paramount importance. Traditional kilns primarily rely on fossil fuels such as natural gas as their sole energy source, offering advantages like stable combustion and high calorific value. However, natural gas, as a non-renewable energy source, has limited reserves, and over-reliance leads to price fluctuations and increased production costs. Biomass gas, a renewable and clean energy source, is converted from biomass through gasification technology. Its raw material sources are diverse, including agricultural waste and forestry residues, enabling resource recycling and reducing environmental pollution. However, using biomass gas alone has limitations. On one hand, biomass gas has a relatively low calorific value, making it difficult to meet the high-temperature requirements of kilns when burned alone, impacting production efficiency and product quality. On the other hand, its gas production stability is affected by factors such as raw material characteristics and gasification processes, leading to unstable combustion.

[0003] Therefore, co-firing natural gas with biomass fuel gas is expected to combine the advantages of both. On the one hand, the high calorific value of natural gas can compensate for the calorific value deficiency of biomass fuel gas, ensuring the combustion temperature and thermal efficiency of the kiln; on the other hand, the addition of biomass fuel gas can reduce natural gas consumption, thereby lowering carbon emissions and operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a method for co-combustion of natural gas and biomass fuel in a kiln, which improves the energy utilization efficiency and environmental performance of the kiln and reduces fuel costs by more than 30%.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a co-combustion system for natural gas coupled with biomass fuel gas in a furnace, including a filtration device, a pressure regulating device, a purification device, a first pressure stabilizing device, a fuel gas mixing device, a second pressure stabilizing device, a flame arrester, a furnace, and an induced draft fan.

[0006] The gas mixing device, the second pressure stabilizing device, the flame arrester, and the furnace are connected in sequence via pipelines.

[0007] The furnace is equipped with a plurality of mixed gas nozzles, which are arranged in a regular pattern, and each of the mixed gas nozzles is connected to the flame arrester; the furnace is also equipped with at least one combustion temperature detection device, which is fixedly installed in front of the plurality of mixed gas nozzles.

[0008] Each of the mixed gas nozzles is connected to the induced draft fan;

[0009] The filtration device is connected to the pressure regulating device, and the pressure regulating device is connected to the natural gas inlet of the gas mixing device;

[0010] The purification device is connected to the first pressure stabilizing device, and the first pressure stabilizing device is connected to the biomass gas inlet of the gas mixing device.

[0011] Preferably, the purification device of this invention can treat biomass gas to a tar content of <50mg / m³. 3 Dust content <10mg / m³ 3 Sulfide content <20mg / m 3 This meets the combustion process requirements of the furnace.

[0012] Furthermore, several of the mixed gas nozzles are arranged in two rows in a regular pattern, and a combustion temperature detection device is provided in front of each row of mixed gas nozzles.

[0013] Furthermore, the inlet of the filter device is connected to a medium-pressure natural gas pipeline, and an on / off valve and an emergency shut-off valve are sequentially installed between the medium-pressure natural gas pipeline and the filter device.

[0014] Furthermore, the inlet of the purification device is connected to the biomass gas pipeline, and an on / off valve and an emergency shut-off valve are sequentially installed between the biomass gas pipeline and the purification device.

[0015] Preferably, the on / off valve described in this utility model is used to manually cut off and open the source of natural gas and biomass fuel; the emergency shut-off valve can close the valve within 1 second in an emergency to cut off the source of natural gas and biomass fuel.

[0016] Furthermore, a first electric regulating valve is provided between the pressure regulating device and the gas mixing device;

[0017] A second electric regulating valve is provided between the first pressure stabilizing device and the gas mixing device.

[0018] Preferably, the electric regulating valve of this invention has an opening degree of 0%-100%, which can realize the mixing of natural gas and biomass gas in any proportion. The electric regulating valve can adjust the opening degree according to the combustion temperature feedback from the combustion temperature detection device to change the ratio of natural gas and biomass gas entering the gas mixing device, thereby changing the calorific value of the gas entering the mixing gas nozzle, and ultimately changing the combustion temperature. The combustion temperature can be precisely controlled within the range of 800-1500℃.

[0019] More preferably, the present invention can also use an electronic system to calculate the biomass gas blending ratio based on the opening degree of the electric regulating valve, and control the number of opening nozzles of the mixed gas by the blending ratio, so as to achieve a stable flow rate and complete combustion of the mixed gas.

[0020] Furthermore, the outlet pressure of the pressure regulating device is stabilized at 2000-3000 Pa.

[0021] Furthermore, the outlet pressure of the first pressure stabilizing device is stabilized at 500-1500 Pa, and the outlet pressure of the second pressure stabilizing device is stabilized at 1500-2000 Pa.

[0022] Furthermore, the induced draft fan is a variable frequency fan. The variable frequency fan can adjust its frequency according to the combustion temperature feedback from the combustion temperature detection device, thereby changing the amount of air entering the mixed gas nozzle and improving combustion efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the flame arrester described in this invention can prevent backfire of the mixed gas nozzle and damage to the front-end equipment.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by coupling and blending natural gas and biomass gas for combustion, the high calorific value of natural gas is used to make up for the calorific value deficiency of biomass gas, ensuring the combustion temperature and thermal efficiency of the kiln, and the addition of biomass gas can reduce natural gas consumption, improve the energy utilization efficiency and environmental performance of the kiln, and reduce fuel costs by more than 30%.
