Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of flue gas analysis in the petrochemical industry, in particular to a carbon monoxide analyzer and a heating furnace combustion control system for online real-time determination of carbon monoxide concentration in heating furnace flue gas in the petrochemical industry.
Background
With increasing importance on energy conservation and emission reduction, heating furnace management in the petrochemical industry is continuously strengthened, the operation level of the heating furnace and the level of energy conservation and emission reduction are greatly improved compared with the prior art at present, but the optimized operation of the heating furnace has a space for improvement. The real-time online analysis of the flue gas of the heating furnace, particularly the measurement of the concentration of carbon monoxide, can indicate the combustion state of the heating furnace, further adjust the operating parameters of the heating furnace, and enable the heating furnace to operate in the optimal state, thereby realizing the energy conservation, emission reduction and safe operation of the heating furnace.
At present, the analysis methods of the concentration of carbon monoxide mainly comprise an infrared analysis method, a potentiometric method, a gas chromatography method and the like, wherein the infrared analysis method is mainly adopted for realizing the detection of the flue gas. The traditional non-dispersive infrared detector adopts two infrared light sources, infrared light enters a reference gas chamber and a measuring gas chamber respectively after being modulated, and the gas concentration is calculated through the intensity change of the light sources. The method has the defects that the cost is high when two light sources are adopted, infrared light emitted by the two light sources is different, and the measurement sensitivity is reduced due to different intensity variation trends of the light sources in long-time working.
Current carbon monoxide analysis appearance is mainly through the sampling pipe when surveying, gathers a small amount of flue gas in the follow flue gas, surveys in leading-in the survey air chamber of instrument inside through the air pump, because gas will be in the pipeline just can get into the instrument for a period of time, and the survey result is the state when sampling, is not the result of real-time determination. Because the flue of the heating furnace is large, a small amount of samples collected from a certain sampling point cannot represent the carbon monoxide concentration in the whole flue gas, and the method has the problem that the measurement result cannot completely represent the carbon monoxide concentration condition in the flue. Meanwhile, for real-time monitoring and analysis of flue gas, because the flue gas volume is large and the flue gas contains impurities such as dust, the flue gas needs to be continuously operated outdoors for a long time, and a common analysis instrument cannot complete the monitoring and analysis.

Examples
The method comprises the steps of punching holes in two sides of a chimney of a cylindrical tube type heating furnace, welding an installation flange of an on-line carbon monoxide analyzer, wherein the punching diameter is larger than 100mm, and the axes of the two flanges are required to be on the same straight line passing through the central point of the chimney. And the transmitting unit and the receiving unit are respectively arranged on the chimney through flanges. The infrared laser light signal received by the high-speed photoelectric detector is strongest by adjusting the angle of the laser emitted from the light source.

Comparative example
A small hole with the diameter of 8mm is drilled at one side of a chimney of the cylindrical tubular heating furnace, an 8mm stainless steel pipe is welded, one end of the small hole extends into the chimney by 400mm, the other end of the small hole is connected with a dust removal and dehydration device, the small hole is connected with a gas pump and then is connected to a carbon monoxide analyzer in a control room, and the measured gas is discharged to an appropriate outdoor position through an exhaust pump and a stainless steel pipeline. Because the gas sampling amount is small and samples are taken at fixed positions, the gas measurement result is not high in accuracy and representativeness.

When the carbon monoxide analyzer is used for measuring in a laboratory, smoke passes through a gas transmission pipeline of 100 meters or more, and the gas in the analyzer needs to be exchanged for new gas and old gas, and the time is 10 minutes or more, so that the measurement result is the smoke state before 15 minutes, and the measurement result is obviously lagged; the invention directly measures the flue gas which rapidly passes through the flue without sampling, and the invention only needs about 0.1 second to obtain the result, and the measuring speed is obviously faster than that of a carbon monoxide analyzer in a laboratory. In addition, the dust removal and dehydration device of the carbon monoxide analyzer in the laboratory needs regular maintenance, the operation workload is increased, and the measured flue gas enters the inside of the analyzer and easily pollutes optical elements, thereby affecting the performance of the analyzer.
