Description

TITLE
A boiler producing steam from flue gases with high electrical efficiency and improved slag quality.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a boiler drying, igniting and combusting refuse and producing steam by heat exchange with flue gases. Subsequently, the steam is utilised to pro-duce electricity.

The refuse to be burnt can be any mixture of household refuse, bark, industrial waste and hospital refuse and other kinds of waste.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

US patent no. 6,269,754 discloses a steam generator for superheated steam for incin-eration plants with corrosive flue gases. It essentially comprises a radiation section and a convection section, having at least one superheater and having plates arranged on the inside of a wall of the radiation section, a space is being provided between the plates and the wall of the radiation section. At least a part of the superheater is being arranged as a wall superheater in the space in the radiation section. This space con-tains a less-corrosive gaseous atmosphere, which is at a higher pressure than the pressure of the gases in the combustion chamber. Hereby, it is possible to reach a high superheater temperature without corrosion to the final superheater, so that the superheater can be made from inexpensive material.
However, US patent no. 6,269,754 does not provide direct contact between the flues gases and the mentioned superheaters, and accordingly there is a less efficient transfer of energy from the flue gases to the steam.

EP 0536268 131 - from the applicant - discloses a method and apparatus for incinerat-ing different kinds of solid and possibly liquid waste material. Solid and possibly liquid waste material is incinerated by a) partial combustion on the stepped grates of the solid waste material, the latter being delivered to a rotary kiln at such a high tempera-ture that a liquid slag is formed at the inlet of the rotary kiln, b) possibly adding liquid waste material to the solid waste material being incinerated on the stepped grates, and c) collecting the ash products from the combustion process, such as grate screenings, boiler ash, fly ash, and residual products from flue-gas cleaning, and returning these products to the input end of the rotary kiln, at which input end these products are intro-duced into the liquid slag. In this manner, it is achieved that the slag, fly ash and other harmful residual products from the combustion process are fused into a glass-like mass, from which salts and heavy metals cannot be leached out.

However, EP 0536268 131 does not provide for an optimised, electrical efficient output from the incineration of the solid and liquid waste material.

In a world where natural energy resources, e.g. oil, is increasingly scarce, there is an increasing demand for energy supplied from other sources. When refuse is incinerated in a boiler, energy can be extracted from the incineration process. Thus it is important that the incineration process is optimised to provide steam that is not condensed and has a sufficient high temperature to ensure that the steam, when fed in a steam tur-bine driving a generator, provides a high electrical power output with high efficiency.
Such steam can e.g. be superheated steam.

Thus there is a need for a boiler optimised to provide a high electrical power output from superheated steam and an end superheater with a higher temperature on the wall.

Typically, superheated steam comes from a so-called end superheater. However, in a boiler some of the gases, e.g. flue gases and the ash particles, are corrosive, which, due to their corrosive nature, will attack said end superheater with the result that the lifetime of the end superheater is shortened.

Thus, there is also a need for a boiler having an end superheater, where some means are provided to extend the lifetime of the end superheater.

These needs are fulfilled when the boiler comprises a reactor, positioned downstream of the moving bed furnace and possibly co-fired with firing a secondary fuel, for gener-ating a less-corrosive gas flow and an end superheater located in the flow of said less-corrosive gas. The boiler dries, ignites and combusts refuse and produces steam by heat exchange with flue gases.
Hereby, the invention has the advantages that the lifetime of the end superheater of the boiler is increased and that the boiler also provides a high and efficient electrical power output due to the increased steam temperature in the end superheater.

Furthermore the end superheater can be applied at a higher temperature when sub-jected to cleaner gases, i.e. less-corrosive gas and ash particles.

The invention will be explained more fully below in connection with preferred embodi-ments and with reference to the drawings, in which:
fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the boiler using a reactor in combination with a burner applied to generate a non-corrosive gas, and fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the boiler using a reactor in combination with a burner applied to generate a non-corrosive gas with a separator element.

Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate similar or corre-sponding features or functions.

In general the terms "superheater" or "end superheater" refers to a device that heats the steam generated by the boiler further, thereby increasing the thermal energy in the steam and decreasing the likelihood that said steam condenses. Steam, which has been superheated, is logically known as superheated steam; conversely non-super-heated steam is called saturated steam or wet steam. It is important to avoid the latter steam and thus primarily to use the superheated steam. Thus, when this latter steam is fed into a steam turbine driving a generator, it will provide a high and efficient elec-trical power output, especially if the temperature and the pressure of the steam are sufficiently high.

In general bottom ash is called slag. Bottom ash or slag is defined as the ash removed from the bottom part of the combustion zone of the boiler. Ashes are defined as the residual products from the combustion process.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the boiler using a reactor in combination with a burner applied to generate a less-corrosive gas. In general, the boiler (1) dries, ignites and combusts refuse. When refuse is incinerated, a gaseous atmosphere, i.e.
flue gases (3), is in the first place the result of incineration of refuse.

The reactor (16) can be a sintering reactor, a rotary kiln, a fluidised bed or a spouted bed. The reactor sinters the bottom ash such that the leaching of heavy metals is re-duced and the possibilities of utilising the bottom ash are improved.

The sintering reactor is a reactor that heats the ash/slag so that leaching properties are improved. This means that the leaching of heavy metals from the ash/slag is re-duced.

In fluid beds and fast fluidised beds, smooth and steady recirculation of solids through a dipleg or other solid trapping device is crucial to good operations. In the spouted bed it represents a somewhat related contacting mode in which comparatively coarse, uniformly sized solids are contacted by gas. In this operation, a high velocity spout of gas punches through the bed of solids, thereby transporting particles to the top of the bed. The rest of the solids move downward slowly around the spout and through gent-ly upward percolating gas. Behaviour somewhere between bubbling and spouting is also seen, and this may be called spouted fluidised bed behaviour.
Said reactor (16) in general burns the refuse and turns it into slag and/or ash. The refuse to be burnt can be any mixtures of household refuse, bark, industrial waste and hospital refuse and other kinds of waste. Typically the refuse is supplied to the reactor - from the left to the right in the figure - by means of grate blocks, e.g.
reciprocable grates (21). In order to convey the refuse, the grates can be combined with one or more conveyors.

The reactor is located - in the direction of the flow of the refuse - after the grate ar-rangement (21).
The process of refuse-incineration is now to be followed - from left to right in the figure - starting at reference numeral 3 with flue gases, proceeding to reference numeral 7, and ending at reference numeral 6. At reference numeral 7, a corrosive gas flow is the result in the pre-process, and conversely at reference numeral 6, a less-corrosive gas flow is the result in the post-process. The less-corrosive gas flow is the output from said reactor (16), possibly fired with a fuel (18), typically a secondary fuel (18). The secondary fuel is selected to develop flue gases that are less corrosive than the flue gases from said refuse or waste.

In this embodiment the reactor is fired from the left-hand side with a secondary fuel (18). The firing follows the direction of the transport of refuse in the reactor, and as a result the less-corrosive gas flow as the output from said reactor is co-current, as indi-cated with the arrow 6.

Alternatively, or additionally, the firing of the reactor can take place by means of a burner (19), which can be fired with said secondary fuel (18), i.e. the burner can be fired with any combination of oil, gas, coal, biomass, air and a selected waste or refuse fraction. This also applies when said secondary fuel in addition, or as an alternative, is supplied directly to the reactor instead. Said firing may take place by means of a burner (19) and/or take place in the reactor.
The burner can be a suspension burner, possibly supplied with coal or a gas, or an oil burner, etc.

The fuel and air injection into the reactor inlet comes via a separate housing/chute, which is separated from the corrosive flue gas (7).

Since the reactor is fired, it reaches a higher temperature as compared to a reactor with no firing. This heat is needed to burn out the volatiles and to sinter the waste slag, trace and heavy metal species. This can be considered as a post-treatment process, i.e. the boiler or waste incinerator is combined with the reactor. As a result, the final ash and/or slag from the reactor is - due to its low content of leachable trace and heavy metal species, such as one or more of leachable Pb, As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni and Zn well-suited for reuse in road construction, etc and/or for disposal.
Accordingly, envi-ronmental harm from ash and slag are minimised.
The ash and/or slag is provided from the reactor by means of a bottom ash or slag re-moval device, which e.g. is a water filled through a piston pusher or belt conveyor.
Thus an integrated bottom ash treatment and improved electrical plant efficiency may be obtained by the concepts shown in the figure. It is thus advantageous to combine the high-efficient grate firing of e.g. refuse, such as municipal solid waste, with a post-treatment of the bottom ash (by means of the reactor) in a single plant, so that the final bottom-ash and/or slag produced will fulfil the current environmental and technical re-strictions necessary for reuse, and at the same time this integrated post-treatment provides a less-corrosive flue gas (6), which can be applied to increase the end super-heater (8) steam temperature and thereby the electrical efficiency of the waste-fired boiler of the plant. The total process is integrated, energy-efficient and contained within a single plant without the need for transporting, storing, and subsequent han-dling/treatment of the bottom ash and/or slag from the grate in another plant.

The electrical efficiency of the waste incineration plant is improved significantly due to the generation of the less-corrosive flue gas (6), which will allow higher steam tem-peratures (around 500 degrees Celsius) at the outlet 8b of the end superheater (8).
Furthermore, it makes it possible to dispose of massive amounts of bottom ash and slag from waste incineration due to fixation of otherwise leachable trace and heavy metal fractions.

Said less-corrosive gas is essentially free from corrosive components, such as Cl, K, Na, Zn, Pb, whereas the corrosive gas comprises corrosive components, e.g. com-prises one or more of Cl, K, Na, Zn and Pb. In essence, less-corrosive gas can be understood as gases that provide less corrosion on the end superheater.

Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the boiler using a reactor in combination with a burner (19) applied to generate a less-corrosive gas with a separator element.

In this embodiment the reactor is fired from the right-hand side with a secondary fuel (18). The firing does not follow the direction of the transport of refuse in the reactor, and as a result the less-corrosive gas flow as the output from said reactor is counter current, as indicated with the arrow 6. Note that the reactor is located at the end of the transportation direction of the refuse, which is discharged directly from the grate into the reactor.

Alternatively, or additionally, the firing of the reactor can take place by means of a burner (19), which can be fired with said secondary fuel (18), i.e. the burner can be fired with any combination of oil, gas, coal, biomass, air and a selected waste or refuse fraction. This also applies when said secondary fuel in addition, or as an alternative, is supplied directly to the reactor instead.
Since the reactor is fired, it reaches a higher temperature as compared to a reactor with no firing. This heat is needed to burn out the volatiles and to sinter the waste slag, trace and heavy metal species. This can be considered as a post-treatment process, i.e. the boiler or waste incinerator is combined with the reactor. As a result, the final ash and/or slag from the reactor is - due to its low content of leachable trace and heavy metal species, such as one or more of Pb, As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni and Zn -well-suited for reuse in road construction, etc and/or for disposal. Accordingly, environ-mental harm from ash and slag is minimised.
At this point of the process, it is important that corrosive and less-corrosive gases are not mixed, since these, i.e. reference numerals 6 and 7, are to be treated differently.
This is because the less-corrosive gas (6) shall be kept separated from the corrosive gas (7) rising from the grate combustion.

Consequently, according to the invention, a separation is provided to maintain separa-tion of the gases, i.e. in order to protect the end superheater (8) from the corrosive gases (7), whereby it is mainly subjected to the non-corrosive gases (6). Said separa-tion of the flue gases (3) is maintained by means of a separator element denoted with reference numeral 4. This element could in an exemplary embodiment be provided as a plate (4a) or in the form of a wall (4b).

The plate (4a) is typically a water filled boiler tube panel extending from one boiler side wall, typically also a water filled boiler tube panel, to the other boiler side wall, and the plate is suspended on said side walls. The plate may be corrosion-protected on the surfaces by e.g. high-alloy Cr-Ni overlay welding or by essentially tight refractory mate-rials.

The wall (4b) is typically a reinforced brick or cast refractory wall extending from the one boiler sidewall to the other boiler sidewall. The reinforcement may be hollow, al-lowing for passage of a cooling medium being e.g. a liquid, a vapour, a gas or air.

Moreover, the separator element could in another exemplary embodiment be provided as a channel, i.e. said plate (4a) and wall (4b) could in various combinations be used to form the channel. The channel could also have a tubular shape.
Thus the separator element secures that the less-corrosive gas flow (6) and the corro-sive gas flow (7) are kept separated at this point, and that mainly the less-corrosive gas flow (6) from the reactor (16) reaches the end superheater (8). In the long run, the optimal position of the separator element may be reflected in a high efficiency and high electrical power output from a generator driven by a steam turbine supplied with steam from the boiler.

The separator element is adapted to be suspendable on or from the walls of the boiler.
In an exemplary embodiment, the separator element may be a plate, a wall or channel able to pivot at the top in bearings suspended on the opposite boiler side walls and e.g. being able to move and fixate in different positions forwards/backwards at the bottom onto the boiler side walls.

In general for any embodiment, i.e. it applies both when the firing takes place from the left-hand side (figure 1) and from the right hand side (figure 2), said less-corrosive gas (6) and the corrosive gas (7) continue in the boiler to the mixing zone (10) of the boiler (1).

Also being general for any embodiment is that the steam (2) at between 300 and degrees Celsius, after leaving said one or more superheaters, is fed, by means of one or more pipes, to an inlet (8a) of an end superheater (8), through which this steam (2) is heated, resulting in a temperature increase of between 25 and 200 degrees Celsius.

This warmer steam (2a), i.e. the steam with the increased temperature, is e.g.
supplied from an outlet (8b) of the end superheater (8) to a steam turbine (14). Thus this steam (2a) can be utilised to produce electricity. For example said steam can be fed by means of piping from said outlet into the steam turbine (14), which drives a generator (15), from which generator electrical power then can be generated. Since warmer steam (2a) is the output from the boiler, i.e. the output from the end superheater, the boiler accordingly also provides high power output efficiency. This is, of course, higher than if steam (2) at between 300 and 450 Celsius was the output from the boiler. Thus the heating of the steam in said end superheater provides the high electrical power and high efficiency output.
Typically said end superheater (8) is located in proximity to said separator element (4), e.g. said plate, wall or into the channel, and in all cases in the flow (6) of said less-cor-rosive gas. It is thus an advantage that the end superheater is less subject to corro-sion.
It is therefore an advantage - which applies to both figures - that the end superheater is located in the flow of said less-corrosive gas (6) as compared to the flow (7) of said corrosive gas. If the end superheater was located in the flow (7) of said corrosive gas -which is not the case according to the invention - such location of the end superheater would result in a short life time of the end superheater, and this location in the aggres-sive environment would require excessive and frequent repair work due to being sub-jected to corrosive gases during its working life time.

The invention therefore has the advantages that the lifetime of the end superheater is increased and that the boiler provides a high electrical power efficiency.

As discussed above, said less-corrosive gas (6) and the corrosive gas (7) are mixed together in the mixing zone (10) of the boiler (1). The boiler further comprises a blow unit (12). This is adapted to - by blowing secondary air - effectively mix said less-cor-rosive gas (6) with said corrosive gas (7), whereby said mix can be effectively burnt out before it reaches the top zone (13) of the boiler. Moreover - this applying to both figures - the boiler is provided with an Industrial Draught fan, which sucks the gases, i.e. flue gases, the less-corrosive and the corrosive gases through the boiler. Addition-ally, combustion air can be blown in under the grate arrangement (21).
When said less-corrosive gas (6) and the corrosive gas (7) together reach the mixing zone (10) of the boiler, these gases are mixed by injection of secondary combustion air for outburning, and the now mixed gases are cooled by means of the evaporation wall in the radiation zone and one or more superheaters (11), which produce(s) steam (2) at between 300 and 450 Celsius. This (i.e. cooling by means of said one or more superheaters) takes place regardless of whether the less-corrosive gas (6) has been in contact with the plate, the wall or the channel when it moved in the direction (6) and/or whether it was the result of the firing with the burner to the reactor from the left-hand side or from the right-hand side.
