Solution Overview

Problem

Current waste incineration methods in China face challenges with landfill leachate pollution, hazardous fly ash, and inefficient energy use, particularly in treating stink gas from waste pits, which leads to environmental pollution and high operational costs.

Innovation Solution

A low nitrogen coupling combustion system is introduced, comprising a waste pit, stink gas incineration equipment, and a waste incinerator, where high-temperature, low-oxygen flue gas from stink gas incineration is used as combustion-supporting air for the waste incinerator, with heat exchangers for energy recycling and redundant incineration equipment for continuous operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If waste gas is heated to 220°C by absorbing heat through the heat exchanger and introduced into the waste incinerator for combustion, then the waste gas can be treated, but the incineration process occurs at relatively low temperature resulting in ash accumulation and coking on the furnace wall

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaste gas pollutionVSAvoidincinerator service life
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the waste gas treatment process with the incinerator combustion process by introducing preheated waste gas directly into the combustion chamber as both fuel and heat carrier. This merging eliminates the separate low-temperature combustion approach and integrates it with high-temperature waste incineration, thereby preventing coking while treating waste gas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the temperature parameter of the waste gas from low-temperature (220°C) preheating to high-temperature combustion (800-1200°C) by directly introducing it into the combustion chamber. This parameter change transforms the waste gas from a mere heat exchange medium to an active combustion participant, preventing ash accumulation and coking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If waste gas is treated by heating and combustion, then the waste gas can be disposed, but energy is consumed and operational costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestink gas pollutionVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by using the waste gas itself as the fuel source for combustion. The waste gas contains combustible organic components that, when burned, provide the heat energy needed for the incineration process. This eliminates or reduces the need for external fuel input, significantly lowering energy consumption and operational costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful waste gas into a beneficial fuel source. The combustible organic matter in the waste gas, which was previously a pollutant, is now used as fuel to drive the incineration process. This transformation turns a harmful factor into a useful resource, reducing both pollution and energy costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Productivity

If waste gas is combusted at low temperature, then the process can proceed, but ash accumulation and coking occur on the furnace wall affecting incineration efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaste gas treatment capacityVSAvoidincineration efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the temperature parameter from low-temperature combustion to high-temperature combustion (800-1200°C) by introducing waste gas directly into the combustion chamber. This temperature increase ensures complete combustion, prevents ash accumulation and coking, and maintains high incineration efficiency while preserving waste gas treatment capacity.
