[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the development of desulfurization and denitrification technologies is crucial for the power industry, a key sector for pollutant emissions. Urea hydrolysis, due to its advantages such as high safety and no transportation or storage risks, has gradually become the mainstream technology for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification systems in the power industry. However, during the desulfurization and denitrification process in the power industry, the gas produced by the urea hydrolysis reactor often contains various impurities, such as incompletely hydrolyzed urea particles, water vapor, organic impurities, and metal ions generated by equipment corrosion. If these impurities are not separated in a timely manner, they will negatively impact the stable operation and denitrification efficiency of the subsequent denitrification system. Therefore, it is necessary to purify and separate the solution in the urea hydrolysis reactor to ensure the stable operation and efficient denitrification of the system. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, in this invention, the air-cooled heat exchanger is used to cool the solution at the outlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor, causing urea or impurities in the solution to crystallize and precipitate. The air-cooled heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor via a pipeline. The pipeline is equipped with an external clamp-on flow meter, a first thermometer, and an electric ball valve. The external clamp-on flow meter is used to monitor the flow rate of the solution.

[0017] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a purification and separation device for urea hydrolysate in desulfurization and denitrification systems in the power industry. It aims to effectively remove solid impurities from the urea hydrolysis reactor outlet solution through cooling, filtration and circulation treatment, so as to improve the stability and efficiency of the denitrification system.
[0018] The purification and separation device in this embodiment includes a pump 1, an air-cooled heat exchanger 2, a clamp-on flow meter 3, a first thermometer 4, a second thermometer 5, a filter 6, a first pressure gauge 7, a second pressure gauge 8, pipes, an electric ball valve, and an electrical control box. The air-cooled heat exchanger 2, the filter 6, and the pump 1 are connected by pipes to form a processing loop. The inlet of the processing loop is connected to the outlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor, and the outlet of the processing loop is connected to the inlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor. The processing loop is used to cool, filter, and circulate the solution at the outlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor.
[0019] Pump 1 provides power to the unit, pumping the filtered solution back to the urea hydrolysis reactor to create a circulating flow of the solution. This ensures that impurities are thoroughly filtered and improves the system's operating efficiency. Pump 1 is connected to the outlet of filter 6 via a stainless steel pipe, located downstream of filter 6. Its outlet is directly connected to the inlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor via another stainless steel pipe. The pump is electrically connected to the control box, which controls its start-up, shutdown, and operating speed to adapt to flow requirements under different operating conditions.
[0020] Air-cooled heat exchanger 2 is used to cool the high-temperature solution at the outlet of the urea hydrolysis reactor, causing urea or impurities in the solution to crystallize and precipitate at a lower temperature, thus facilitating subsequent filtration. Its advantages include high cooling efficiency, compact structure, and suitability for continuous operation in industrial environments. Air-cooled heat exchanger 2 is located downstream of the urea hydrolysis reactor outlet and is directly connected to the reactor outlet via a stainless steel pipe. Its outlet is then connected in sequence to filter 6 and pump 1 via another stainless steel pipe. The operating status of heat exchanger 2 is monitored and adjusted through an electrical control box to ensure stable cooling performance.
[0021] The clamp-on flow meter 3 is installed on the pipeline between the air-cooled heat exchanger 2 and the urea hydrolysis reactor to monitor the flow rate of the solution in the loop in real time, providing data support for system operation and facilitating operators to adjust operating parameters according to flow rate changes. Its non-contact design avoids corrosion and blockage problems inside the pipeline, and has the advantages of simple installation and low maintenance cost.
[0022] The first thermometer 4 and the second thermometer 5 are used to monitor the solution temperature at the inlet and outlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger 2, respectively, to ensure the controllability of the cooling process and the crystallization effect. Their advantage lies in providing accurate temperature data, facilitating timely adjustments to the operating parameters of the heat exchanger 2 by operators. The first thermometer 4 is installed on a stainless steel pipe at the inlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger 2; the second thermometer 5 is installed on a stainless steel pipe at the outlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger 2. Both thermometers are electrically connected to the control box via signal lines, transmitting temperature data to the control box for real-time monitoring.
[0023] Filter 6 consists of a filter housing and an internal filter element, used to intercept solid impurities in the solution, such as incompletely hydrolyzed urea particles and rust. Its advantages include high filtration efficiency and the ability to periodically backwash the filter element to extend its service life. Filter 6 is connected to the outlet of the air-cooled heat exchanger 2 via a stainless steel pipe, and its outlet is connected to the pump 1 via a stainless steel pipe.
[0024] The filter 6 is also equipped with a first pressure gauge 7 at the inlet and outlet. The pump 1 is connected to the urea hydrolysis reactor through a pipeline. A second pressure gauge 8 and an electric ball valve are installed on the pipeline. The first pressure gauge 7 and the second pressure gauge 8 detect the pressure difference to determine whether the filter element needs backwashing. The first pressure gauge 7 and the second pressure gauge 8 are connected to the electrical control box through signal lines to transmit the pressure difference data to the electrical control box. The operator can determine whether the backwashing branch needs to be opened based on the pressure difference value.
[0025] The working principle of this device is as follows: The high-temperature solution from the urea hydrolysis reactor outlet enters the air-cooled heat exchanger 2 through a stainless steel pipe. The solution cools in the heat exchanger, promoting the crystallization and precipitation of urea or impurities. The first thermometer 4 and the second thermometer 5 monitor the inlet and outlet temperatures of the heat exchanger 2, respectively, and the data is transmitted to the electrical control box to optimize the cooling process. The cooled solution is measured by an external clamp-on flow meter 3, and its flow rate data is transmitted to the electrical control box to monitor the loop operation. Subsequently, the solution enters the filter 6, where the filter element intercepts incompletely hydrolyzed urea particles, rust, and other solid impurities. The first pressure gauge 7 and the second pressure gauge 8 detect the pressure difference to determine whether the filter element needs backwashing. The filtered solution is pumped back to the urea hydrolysis reactor by pump 1, forming a closed loop. After a period of circulation, solid impurities in the solution are effectively removed, ensuring the stable operation and efficient denitrification of the denitrification system.
[0026] In this embodiment, all components form a closed loop through stainless steel pipes, and signal transmission is precisely controlled via an electrical control box, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the device in purifying urea hydrolysate. The device has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, making it particularly suitable for desulfurization and denitrification systems in the power industry. It effectively addresses the impact of solid impurities on the denitrification system, meeting the practical needs of industrial applications.
