Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dry distillation gasification incinerator that stores wastes and also combusts a part of the wastes while dry-distilling the rest of the wastes by combustion heat to generate combustible gas.Background Art

[0002] Recently, the amount of wastes containing more chlorine such as polyvinyl chloride has increased. Therefore, in incinerators that incinerate these wastes, air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and dioxins can be generated during incineration process. Certain environmental standards therefore have been established for these air pollutants to control their emissions.

[0003] Among them, dioxins are generated during incineration of wastes containing chlorine that are combusted at a temperature of about 250 to 350°C Specifically, the dioxins are generated through a reaction of the chlorine released from the wastes with hydrocarbons produced from imperfect combustion of resins, and heavy metals contained in the wastes serve as a catalyst.

[0004] To prevent these dioxin emissions from the incineration process of the wastes, it has been found effective to keep the wastes at a temperature of 800°C or higher for at least two seconds to completely pyrolyze the generated dioxins.

[0005] The applicant of the present invention has already proposed a dry distillation and gasification incineration processing device (hereinafter simply called a dry distillation gasification incinerator) that incinerates wastes such as waste tires while preventing the emission of dioxins. This device includes a dry distillation furnace that stores the wastes and also combusts a part of the wastes while dry-distilling the rest of the wastes by the combustion heat to generate combustible gas, and a combustion furnace that introduces the combustible gas from the dry distillation furnace for complete combustion (see, for example, Patent Literature 1). US 2019 / 032917 A1 discloses a dry distillation gasification incinerator, wherein a plurality of dry distillation furnaces are provided for a single combustion furnace. When wastes in the dry distillation furnace are subjected to dry distillation to produce a combustible gas and introduce the combustible gas into the combustion furnace to burn, control is carried out such that a temperature in the combustion furnace becomes a first temperature, and when the temperature in the combustion furnace is the first temperature, the presence of the wastes in the dry distillation furnace is detected, the wastes in the dry distillation furnace are ignited to subject the wastes to dry distillation thereby to produce a combustible gas, and the introduction of the combustible gas into the combustion furnace is started.Citation ListPatent Literature

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the layout of the dry distillation gasification incinerator illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a modified layout example of the dry distillation gasification incinerator. FIG. 4 is a plan view of a modified layout example of a dry distillation gasification incinerator which does not fall under the scope of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a plan view of a modified layout example of a dry distillation gasification incinerator illustrated in FIG. 1 which does not fall under the scope of the present invention. Description of Embodiments

[0012] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a dry distillation gasification incinerator of the present invention is defined in appended claim 1 and includes: a dry distillation furnace unit 1 having one or more dry distillation furnaces 10; a combustion furnace unit 2 including a combustion furnace 20 that combusts combustible gas supplied from the dry distillation furnaces 10, and a flue-gas treatment unit 3.

[0013] The dry distillation furnace unit 1 includes one or more dry distillation furnaces 10 that are aligned horizontally adjacent to each other (see FIGS. 2 to 5).

[0014] Each dry distillation furnace 10 stores wastes, which are the mixture of various types of wastes mainly including waste paper, waste wood, and waste plastics, and combusts a part of the wastes while dry-distilling the rest of the wastes by the combustion heat to generate combustible gas.

[0015] The combustion furnace unit 2 includes: a burner reactor 21 connected to the one or more dry distillation furnaces 10; a combustion furnace 20 having a cooled reactor 22 integral therewith on the upper part; and a rapid cooling tower 23 connected to the cooled reactor 22. These combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and rapid cooling tower 23 are aligned horizontally adjacent to each other (see FIGS. 2 to 5).

[0016] A heat exchanger 24 may be provided between the cooled reactor 22 and the rapid cooling tower 23, if necessary.

[0017] The flue-gas treatment unit 3 includes a bag filter 30 connected to the rapid cooling tower 23, a chimney 31 connected to the bag filter 30, and an inducing fan 32 placed between the bag filter 30 and the chimney 31. The bag filter 30 and the chimney 31 are placed in a straight line or bent via the inducing fan 32 (see FIGS. 2 to 5).

[0018] The elements 10, 21 to 24, and 30 to 32 of these units 1 to 3 are described in detail in the above-mentioned Patent Literature 1 by the applicant of the present invention, and thus the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0019] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the dry distillation gasification incinerator has a configuration made up of the units. The dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 are placed adjacent to each other so that, in plan view, the alignment direction of the dry distillation furnaces 10 of the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the alignment direction of the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2 are orthogonal to each other.

[0020] The combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 are placed so that a connector 33 of the bag filter 30 in the flue-gas treatment unit 3 with the rapid cooling tower 23 is located in the extending direction from the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) to the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2.

[0021] Then, the flue-gas treatment unit 3 is configured so that the bag filter 30 and the chimney 31 are placed in a straight line via the inducing fan 32.

[0022] The layout of the dry distillation gasification incinerator in FIG. 2 can be modified as follows, as in FIG. 3, for example.

[0023] That is, in plan view, the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 are placed adjacent to each other so that the alignment direction of the dry distillation furnaces 10 of the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the alignment direction of the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2 are in the same direction.

[0024] The combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 are placed so that the connector 33 of the bag filter 30 in the flue-gas treatment unit 3 with the rapid cooling tower 23 is located in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction from the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) to the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2.

[0025] Then, the flue-gas treatment unit 3 is configured so that the bag filter 30 and the chimney 31 are bent (bent at right angles in FIG. 3) via the inducing fan 32.

[0026] In this way, according to the dry distillation gasification incinerator of the present embodiment, the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 are placed adjacent to each other so that their alignment directions are the same or orthogonal. This placement enables a specific design of the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 according to the shape and the size of the site to install these units.

[0027] According to the dry distillation gasification incinerator of the present embodiment, the combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 are placed adjacent to each other so that the connector 33 of the bag filter 30 with the rapid cooling tower 23 is located in the extending direction connecting the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and the rapid cooling tower 23 or in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction. This enables a specific design of the combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 according to the shape and the size of the site to install these units.

[0028] In addition, according to the dry distillation gasification incinerator of the present embodiment, the flue-gas treatment unit 3 itself is configured so that the bag filter 30 and the chimney 31 are placed in a straight line or are bent via the inducing fan 32. This enables a specific design of the flue-gas treatment unit 3 according to the shape and the size of the site to install the unit.

[0029] In this way, the dry distillation gasification incinerator of the present embodiment enables simple and reliable individual designing with increased design freedom according to the shape and size of the site where the incinerator is to be installed, while providing the necessary facility of the incinerator.

[0030] The present embodiment describes the case where the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 are placed adjacent to each other so that the alignment direction of the dry distillation furnaces 10 of the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the alignment direction of the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2 are in the same direction (FIG. 3) or orthogonal to each other (FIG. 2).

[0031] The present embodiment describes the case where the combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 are placed so that the connector 33 of the bag filter 30 in the flue-gas treatment unit 3 with the rapid cooling tower 23 is located in the extending direction connecting the combustion furnace 20 (cooled reactor 22) and the rapid cooling tower 23 of the combustion furnace unit 2 (FIG. 2) or in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction (FIG. 3).

[0032] A dry distillation gasification incinerator as illustrated in FIG. 4 does not fall under the scope of the present invention, wherein the dry distillation furnace unit 1 and the combustion furnace unit 2 may be placed adjacent to each other (their alignment directions may not be the same (FIG. 3) or orthogonal (FIG. 2)), and the combustion furnace unit 2 and the flue-gas treatment unit 3 may be placed adjacent to each other (they may not be in the extending direction (FIG. 2) or in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction (FIG. 3)).

[0033] In the present invention the combustion furnace unit 2 is configured so that the cooled reactor 22 is integral with the combustion furnace 20. A dry distillation gasification incinerator as illustrated in FIG. 5 does not fall under the scope of the present invention, wherein the cooled reactor 22 may be separated from the combustion furnace 20 and placed between the combustion furnace 20 and the rapid cooling tower 23.

[0034] The present disclosure omits the detailed descriptions on the piping that connects the elements 10, 21 to 24, 30 to 32 that make up the units 1 to 3. The units may have height differences using the connection height difference of the piping, or the elements of each unit may have a height difference. That is, the units do not have to be on the same plane, and the elements of each unit do not have to be on the same plane.

[0035] This enables simple and reliable individual designing according to the shape and size of the site where the incinerator is to be installed as well as the height difference, while providing the necessary facilities.Description of Reference Numerals
