Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemistry, and more particularly to desulfurization equipment, especially to desulfurization slurry equipment in wet or semi-dry desulfurization systems, specifically an improved desulfurization slurry pump inlet filter device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial production, such as in steel plants, coking plants, power plants, and sintering plants, large amounts of gases containing toxic and harmful substances are generated. These gases must be purified through desulfurization systems before being released into the atmosphere. Currently, most desulfurization processes employ wet or spray-rotary semi-dry methods, both of which require slurry pumps to supply the desulfurization slurry.
[0003] In existing technologies, the slurry used for desulfurization is supplied by a lime slurry pump and a circulating slurry pump. The slurry supply device includes a limestone slurry tank, a circulating slurry tank, valves, a complete set of pumps, a drive motor, a slurry density meter, a slurry flow meter, and a slurry control and regulating valve. The existing slurry pump supply device has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The limestone raw material used for pulping contains a small amount of insoluble granular impurities, which causes wear and tear on pipes and valves, resulting in slurry leakage.
[0005] 2. The presence of particulate impurities in the slurry causes wear on the slurry pump impeller, affecting the dynamic balance and resulting in higher vibration values during operation.
[0006] 3. Because the slurry contains particulate impurities, the inner wall of the pump casing is easily worn and forms a honeycomb pattern. When the pump is running, the resistance of the slurry inside the pump is large, which increases the operating load of the motor.
[0007] 4. Due to the presence of particulate impurities in the slurry, the pump outlet and pipeline are severely worn. The excessive flow rate during pump operation causes the motor current to rise, which in turn raises the temperature of the motor bearings and windings, affecting the service life of the motor.
[0008] 5. Due to the presence of particulate impurities in the slurry, long-term operation can lead to wear and tear on pipelines and valves, resulting in slurry leakage. Once leakage occurs, pump shutdown and maintenance are required, affecting the system's environmental data control.
[0009] 6. The presence of particulate impurities in the slurry causes wear on the sensor probes of the slurry density meter and flow meter, affecting the accuracy of the detection data; long-term operation can damage the measuring equipment.
[0010] 7. Because the slurry contains particulate impurities, these impurities enter the atomizing wheel of the atomizer, causing abnormally high shaft vibration during operation and wear on the nozzle and the inner wall of the atomizing wheel, affecting the safe and stable operation and service life of the atomizer.

Several rows of turbulence square tubes are welded to the distal end of the plates. The turbulence square tubes are spaced apart along the axial direction of the inlet pipe and are all perpendicular to the axial direction of the inlet pipe. The second flange is connected to the bottom surface of the turbulence hood, and the inlet pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the turbulence hood.

[0015] A fourth flange is welded to the end of the slurry pipe, and the fourth flange and the third flange are connected in a sealed manner.
[0016] The inner diameter of the inlet pipe is smaller than the inner cavity diameter of the turbulence hood near the bottom surface, and the inner diameter of the outlet pipe is equal to the inner cavity diameter of the turbulence hood near the top surface.
[0017] Furthermore, this utility model provides an improved desulfurization slurry pump inlet filtration device, wherein a flange groove is formed on the bottom surface of the turbulence shroud, and the second flange is fitted into the flange groove and fastened with bolts.
[0018] Furthermore, this utility model provides an improved desulfurization slurry pump inlet filtration device, wherein a sealing ring is installed between the second flange and the flange sink.

[0020] Furthermore, this utility model provides an improved desulfurization slurry pump inlet filtration device, wherein the lowest part of the bottom surface of the turbulence shroud is provided with an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is equipped with an exhaust valve.
[0021] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0022] It enables the slurry pump to operate long-term, stably and safely, reduces wear on impellers, pump casing walls, pipes, valves, and regulating valve plates, and extends service life;
[0023] To prevent impurities and particles in the slurry from entering the atomizing wheel of the atomizer, reduce vibration of the atomizer's running shaft, and reduce wear on the nozzle and atomizing wheel body;
[0024] Reduce wear on the sensor probes of slurry density meters and flow meters, and extend their service life;

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an improved desulfurization slurry pump inlet filtration device, characterized in that it includes a filtration device, a lime slurry pump 1, and a slurry pipeline 2;
[0037] The filtration device includes a turbulence hood 3, which is a hollow flat-topped cone structure. The top surface of the turbulence hood 3 is connected to a discharge pipe 4. A first flange 5 is welded to the end of the discharge pipe 4. The bottom surface of the turbulence hood 3 is provided with a double-ended flange pipe, which consists of an inlet pipe 6 and a second flange 7 and a third flange 8 welded to both ends of the inlet pipe 6. A secondary turbulence structure extends from the end face of the second flange 7 near the turbulence hood 3 and along the axial direction of the inlet pipe 6. The secondary turbulence structure includes several pairs of symmetrically arranged plates 9. The proximal end of each plate 9 is welded to the end face of the second flange 7, and the distal end extends into the turbulence hood 3. A plurality of turbulent square tubes 10 are welded together. The plurality of turbulent square tubes 10 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the inlet pipe 6 and are all perpendicular to the axial direction of the inlet pipe 6. In this embodiment, at least two rows of turbulent square tubes 10 are arranged along the axial direction of the inlet pipe 6, with three tubes in the first row and two tubes in the second row. The second row of turbulent square tubes 10 and the first row of turbulent square tubes 10 are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the inlet pipe 6. A flange groove 11 is opened on the bottom surface of the turbulence hood 3. The second flange 7 is fitted into the flange groove 11 and fastened with bolts. A sealing ring 12 is installed between the second flange 7 and the flange groove 11. The inlet pipe 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the turbulence hood 3.
[0038] The inlet flange of the lime slurry pump 1 is sealed to the first flange 5, and a filter screen 13 is installed between the inlet flange and the first flange 5.
[0039] A fourth flange 14 is welded to the end of the slurry pipe 2, and the fourth flange 14 and the third flange 8 are sealed together.
[0040] Wherein, the inner diameter of the inlet pipe 6 is smaller than the inner cavity diameter of the turbulence hood 3 near the bottom surface, and the inner diameter of the outlet pipe 4 is equal to the inner cavity diameter of the turbulence hood 3 near the top surface;
[0041] To facilitate the cleaning of sediment inside the turbulence hood 3, the lowest part of the bottom surface of the turbulence hood 3 in this embodiment is provided with a drain pipe 15, and the drain pipe 15 is equipped with a drain valve.
[0042] The usage process and principle of this embodiment are as follows: The main component of lime slurry is slaked lime, i.e., calcium hydroxide. Slaked lime is the product of the reaction between quicklime and water. This reaction is exothermic. The calcium hydroxide produced has low solubility in water and usually forms a suspension, commonly known as lime milk. Secondly, the lime slurry may also contain some calcium carbonate impurities. Calcium carbonate impurities and the deposited calcium hydroxide layer are the main reasons for the accelerated wear of the entire system. In this invention, the lime slurry enters the inlet pipe 6 through the slurry pipe 2. When it enters the turbulence hood 3 along the inlet pipe 6, it diffuses rapidly. The first turbulence homogenization treatment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it then flows through a secondary turbulent structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, this effectively prevents calcium hydroxide from entering the lime slurry pump 1 and subsequent equipment in a laminar flow form, thus aggravating equipment aging and damage. The fully mixed lime slurry flows through the filter screen 13, where large particles of calcium carbonate are intercepted. These three lines of defense can significantly extend the service life of the entire machine.
