Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flue gas desulfurization technology in thermal power plants, and particularly relates to an automatic spray flue gas desulfurization absorption tower. Background Technology

[0002] The absorption towers and flue gas duct components in the desulfurization system of thermal power plants, such as demisters and anode modules, are mostly made of flammable materials. These materials are prone to causing fires due to improper operation during maintenance and system operation. In recent years, absorption tower fires have occurred frequently, causing not only economic losses to enterprises but also serious environmental impacts from the dense smoke produced, resulting in a severe negative social impact.

[0003] To reduce fire risks, existing technologies have already incorporated flame-retardant and corrosion-resistant materials to modify the interior of absorption towers and flues, and upgraded the hot work regulations during maintenance. Strict adherence to safety operating procedures is also maintained during system operation. However, due to market constraints and system operating conditions, some flammable equipment, such as demisters and anode modules, still exist within the absorption towers, posing significant safety hazards. Furthermore, excessively high flue gas temperatures not only affect desulfurization efficiency but also shorten equipment lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic spray flue gas desulfurization absorption tower, comprising a first absorption tower and a second absorption tower, both the first and second absorption towers being equipped with a spray device. The spray device includes an mounting plate, a fixing sleeve, a first branch pipe, a second branch pipe, and a nozzle. The fixing sleeve passes through the mounting plate. One end of the first branch pipe is connected to the fixing sleeve, and the other end is connected to the second branch pipe. The nozzle passes through the side walls of the first and second branch pipes.

[0022] Please see Figs. 1-3 To achieve the above objectives, this embodiment provides an automatic spray flue gas desulfurization absorption tower, including a first absorption tower 1 and a second absorption tower 2, located in the middle section of the flue gas treatment system. After pretreatment, the flue gas enters the absorption tower for desulfurization. The first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 are used for flue gas desulfurization. A desulfurizing agent (such as limestone slurry) is sprayed into the tower through a spraying device 3 to react chemically with sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, thereby achieving the desulfurization effect.

[0023] The spray device 3 is installed inside the absorption tower to evenly spray the desulfurizing agent into the tower, ensuring that the flue gas and the desulfurizing agent are in full contact, thereby improving the desulfurization efficiency.

[0024] The mounting plate 4 in the spray device 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the absorption tower, supports the entire spray device 3, and is used to fix other components of the spray device 3 to ensure the stability of the spray device 3.

[0025] The fixing sleeve 5 passes through the mounting plate 4 and connects to the first branch pipe 6, connecting the mounting plate 4 and the first branch pipe 6 to ensure the firmness of the spray device 3.

[0026] One end of the first branch pipe 6 is connected to the fixed sleeve 5, and the other end is connected to the second branch pipe 7. The second branch pipe 7 is a multi-layer bushing pipe located at the end of the first branch pipe 6. It is used to transport the desulfurizing agent and ensure that the desulfurizing agent can be evenly distributed to each nozzle 8.

[0027] Nozzles 8 are installed through the side walls of the first branch pipe 6 and the second branch pipe 7, and are arranged at equal intervals. Nozzles 8 spray the desulfurizing agent in the form of mist, increasing the contact area with the flue gas and improving the reaction efficiency.

[0028] In other embodiments, the flue gas outlet pipe 9 is connected to the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 and is arranged in a Z-shape to reduce the flow resistance of the flue gas. The flue gas outlet pipe 9 discharges the flue gas that has undergone desulfurization treatment from the absorption tower.

[0029] In other embodiments, the flue gas outlet 10 is opened on the side wall of the first absorption tower 1 or the second absorption tower 2, and the flue gas outlet 10 discharges the flue gas that has undergone desulfurization treatment.

[0030] In other embodiments, an electrically operated valve is installed on the side wall of the first absorption tower 1 or the second absorption tower 2 and is electrically connected to the first branch pipe 6. The electrically operated valve controls the flow rate of the desulfurizing agent to ensure the normal operation of the spraying device 3.

[0031] In other embodiments, temperature sensors are installed inside the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2. The temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the absorption towers to ensure that the desulfurization reaction proceeds within a suitable temperature range.

[0032] In other embodiments, the second branch pipe 7 adopts a multi-layer bushing design, which can increase the uniformity of desulfurizer distribution and improve desulfurization efficiency. The multi-layer bushing can also reduce pressure loss within the pipeline and lower energy consumption.

[0033] In other embodiments, the connection between the first branch pipe 6 and the second branch pipe 7 is at a 90° angle, which can reduce turbulence in the pipeline, ensure the stability of the desulfurizing agent flow, and facilitate installation and maintenance.

[0034] In other embodiments, the flue gas outlet duct 9 is arranged in a Z-shape, which can reduce the resistance to flue gas flow and lower energy consumption. At the same time, the Z-shaped design can also increase the residence time of the flue gas, further improving the desulfurization effect.

[0035] In other embodiments, the electrically operated valve can automatically adjust the flow rate according to the flue gas flow rate and the demand for desulfurizer, thereby achieving intelligent control and improving the automation level of the system.

[0036] In other embodiments, the thermometer can monitor the temperature inside the absorption tower in real time and feed the data back to the control system to ensure that the desulfurization reaction takes place within the optimal temperature range and improve desulfurization efficiency.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Flue gas entry: After pretreatment, the flue gas enters the first absorption tower 1.

[0039] Spray desulfurization: Spray device 3 evenly sprays the desulfurizing agent into the tower, and the flue gas comes into full contact with the desulfurizing agent, undergoing a chemical reaction to remove sulfur dioxide from the flue gas.

[0040] Flue gas discharge: The flue gas after desulfurization treatment enters the second absorption tower 2 through the flue gas outlet pipe 9 for secondary desulfurization treatment to ensure the desulfurization effect.

[0041] Temperature control: The thermometer monitors the temperature inside the absorption tower in real time to ensure that the desulfurization reaction takes place within a suitable temperature range.

[0042] Flow regulation: The electric switch valve automatically adjusts the flow rate according to the flue gas flow rate and the demand for desulfurizing agent to ensure the normal operation of the spray device 3.

[0043] Flue gas emission: The flue gas that has undergone secondary desulfurization treatment is discharged through flue outlet 10 and enters the subsequent treatment stage or is directly emitted.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
