Description

Device for removing VOC (volatile organic compounds) and reducing odor from waste gas
Technical Field
The invention discloses a device for removing VOC and reducing odor from waste gas, in particular to a device for removing VOC and reducing odor from waste gas, which comprises a thermal oxidation chamber and a catalytic oxidation chamber which are connected in series.
Background
Exhaust gas discharged in a semiconductor process or the like is called waste gas (waste gas). Since such exhaust gas contains voc (volatile Organic compound) harmful to the human body, it should be properly treated before it is released into the atmosphere.
As the exhaust gas treatment technology thus including VOC, there are wet scrubbing (scrubbing), adsorption (adsorption), and combustion (oxidation) methods. However, in the case of wet scrubbing, the solubility of most VOCs in water is not high and high performance cannot be expected, and in addition, many adsorbents (adsorbents) are used for adsorption, so that the installation site is large, the replacement period is short, the operation cost such as waste disposal cost is high, and the manageability is also poor. In view of the heat contained by the VOC itself, the combustion method is most suitable in terms of efficiency and manageability.
The combustion processing method can be roughly classified into a direct Thermal Oxidation (TO), a Catalytic Thermal Oxidation (CTO), and a Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO).
The direct Thermal Oxidation (TO) has the disadvantage of excessive fuel consumption, which results in the production of large amounts of thermal nitrogen oxides (thermal NO)x) Catalyst thermal oxidation mode(CTO) has a problem that the catalyst requires high investment cost in the early stage and needs to be replaced periodically.
Therefore, in recent years, a Regenerative Thermal Oxidation (RTO) method, which is relatively low in fuel consumption and investment cost at the early stage and does not incur catalyst replacement cost, is preferred in an actual industrial site. In particular, as a characteristic in a semiconductor process, an organic material containing a silicon (Si) element (for example, HMDSO (C)) is used2H18OSi2) When the catalyst is used in the exhaust gas, the exhaust gas is oxidized at a low temperature of 500 ℃ or lower using the catalyst, which causes incomplete decomposition and irreversible chemisorption on the surface of the catalyst, thereby causing a problem of a decrease in the activity of the catalyst. Therefore, a stage of direct thermal oxidation or regenerative thermal oxidation in which the combustion temperature is high should be performed.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a high temperature Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) 10 for removing VOC from exhaust gas by high temperature incineration according to the prior art.
As shown in fig. 1, the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 may include an intake port 11, flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2, heat storage materials 14-1 and 14-2, a combustion zone 13, a burner unit 15, a combustion air supply fan 16, an exhaust fan 17, and an exhaust port 12.
The operation and effect of the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 will be described in detail.
First, exhaust gas (not shown) flows in from the intake port 11 and then flows into the heat storage material 14-1 via the flow path changing unit 18-1. At this time, the heat of the heat storage material 14-1 is transferred to the exhaust gas, so that the temperature of the exhaust gas and the combustion zone 13 increases, and the temperature of the heat storage material 14-1 decreases. Therefore, the amount of heat supplied to the combustion zone 13 by the burner unit 15 is reduced, and the amount of FUEL (FUEL) used can be reduced.
Secondly, the VOC in the exhaust gas is oxidized in the combustion zone 13 and converted into carbon dioxide and water harmless to the human body. The combustion zone 13 is a position where a combustion reaction occurs between the fuel supplied from the burner unit 15 and the air supplied from the combustion air supply fan 16 by the action of the burner unit 15.
Then, the exhaust gas passing through the combustion zone 13 flows into the heat storage material 14-2. At this time, the heat of the exhaust gas is transferred to the heat storage material 14-2, so that the exhaust gas temperature decreases and the heat storage material 14-2 temperature increases.
Thereafter, the exhaust gas discharged from the heat storage material 14-2 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 12 via the flow path changing unit 18-2 and the exhaust fan 17.
When the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 is operated for a long time in this manner, the heat of the heat storage material 14-1 is exhausted and the heat of the heat storage material 14-2 becomes saturated. At this time, the flow path of the exhaust gas is changed by the flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2, and the exhaust gas flows in the direction in which the thermal storage material 14-1 flows via the thermal storage material 14-2. In this case, the heat of the thermal storage material 14-2 is transferred to the exhaust gas flowing into the thermal storage material 14-2 through the intake port 11, and the heat of the exhaust gas passing through the combustion zone 13 is transferred to the thermal storage material 14-1.
As described above, in the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10, the exhaust gas flow path is operated in an alternating manner by the action of the flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2 along with the heat storage state of the heat storage materials 14-1 and 14-2. As these flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2, dampers or rotary flow dividing valves may be used.
However, since the flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2 frequently perform the flow path changing operation, there are problems that the durability thereof is deteriorated, the service life is shortened, or the exhaust gas leaks to generate odor, etc.
In addition, exhaust gas discharged during the treatment of silicon element such as semiconductor process includes various organosilicon components which are thermally oxidized to form silicon dioxide (SiO)2). The fine particle Silica (SiO) is used even if the thermal oxidation operation temperature for treating the organic exhaust gas is 850 ℃ or lower2) The efficiency and the life span of the heat accumulating materials 14-1 and 14-2 are remarkably reduced since the silica gel thus formed in the heat accumulating materials 14-1 and 14-2 cannot be removed by the maintenance work at the high temperature portion of the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 where the flame portions of the burner unit 15 higher than 2000 c are melted and combined with each other to be accumulated in the form of silica gel on the upper end portions of the heat accumulating materials 14-1 and 14-2, in particular.
Operation for reducing heat accumulating type thermal oxidation device 10As a temperature, the silicon dioxide (SiO) can be reduced2) The oxidation of VOC is also reduced, and as a result, there is a problem that the VOC removal efficiency is lowered.
Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a high-temperature recovery thermal oxidizer (20) for discharging VOC in exhaust gas through a heat exchanger after high-temperature incineration according to the prior art.
In fig. 2, solid arrows indicate the flow path of VOC inflow exhaust gas (i.e., exhaust gas), and dotted arrows indicate the flow path of VOC treatment exhaust gas (i.e., purge gas).
As shown in fig. 2, the high temperature recovery type thermal oxidizer 20 may include a cylindrical shell 21, a tube bundle 22 composed of a plurality of tubes disposed in the shell 21, partition walls 23 disposed in the shell 21 in a zigzag manner, and burners 24.
VOC exhaust gas (i.e., exhaust gas) flowing into the intake Gi is supplied into the shell 21 by the exhaust fan F, and then flows toward the outside of the tube bundle 22 in a zigzag manner through the partition walls 23. Thereafter, the VOC exhaust gas is burned by the burner 24, then flows into the respective tubes constituting the tube bundle 22, and is then discharged to the outside of the housing 21, through another exhaust fan F, to the outside from an exhaust port Go formed on the stack.
The high-temperature recovery type thermal oxidizer 20 has a structure of even silicon dioxide (SiO)2) The gel and the silica gel are accumulated in the respective tubes, and the structure of the accumulated silica gel can also be removed by periodic maintenance.
However, the shell and tube heat exchanger (shell and tube heat exchanger) provided in the high temperature recovery thermal oxidizer 20 has a very low heat recovery rate of 40% to 70%, and discharges high temperature exhaust gas of about 350 ℃ even when the oxidation temperature is slightly lowered to 1400 ° f (760 ℃) and then the operation is performed. The problem of the heat exchanger volume is too big also exists in improving heat recovery efficiency.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an apparatus for removing VOC and reducing odor from exhaust gas according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the apparatus 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor may include a thermal oxidation chamber 31 and a catalytic oxidation chamber 34.
The VOC concentration of the off-gas may be 500ppm to 3000ppm (on a total hydrocarbon volume basis).
The thermal oxidizer 31 may be configured to generate a combustion reaction of fuel and air and an oxidation reaction of VOC (i.e., a thermal oxidation reaction).
The thermal oxidation chamber 31 may have a gas burner (a portion indicated by a flame shape). The gas burners are supplied with fuel and air, respectively, to effect combustion reaction of the fuel and air in the thermal oxidizer 31. The fuel may be Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). By the combustion reaction, the exhaust gas flowing into the thermal oxidation chamber 31 is heated, and in the process, at least a part of VOC contained in the exhaust gas is subjected to primary oxidation to be converted into carbon dioxide and water.
The internal temperature of the thermal oxidation chamber 31 may be maintained at 750 to 850 ℃. The exhaust gas before being supplied to the thermal oxidizer 31 is preheated to 210 to 610 c by at least one heat exchanger 32, 33, 35, which will be described later, so that it is possible to reduce the fuel consumption of the thermal oxidizer 31 and to reduce the fuel cost.
The VOC removal efficiency of the thermal oxidizer 31 may be 80% to 90%. The VOC removal efficiency can be calculated by the following equation 1.
[ equation 1]
VOC removal efficiency (%) (VOC intake air concentration-VOC outlet air concentration)/(VOC intake air concentration) × 100
In addition, the thermal oxidizer 31 may convert carbon monoxide (CO) contained in the incoming exhaust gas into carbon dioxide (CO)2)。
Further, since the thermal oxidation chamber 31 has a simple structure and does not include any kind of packing inside, even if silicon (Si) included in the exhaust gas flowing inside thereof is oxidized to form, for example, silicon dioxide (SiO)2) The amorphous substance of (2) is gelled (gelation) to form a silica gel, and a blocking phenomenon by the silica gel does not occur.
The catalytic oxidation chamber 34 may be configured to undergo an oxidation reaction (i.e., a catalytic oxidation reaction) of the VOC.
The catalytic oxidation chamber 34 includes at least one oxidation catalyst.
The oxidation catalyst is prepared from the following materials: at least one noble metal selected from platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd); at least one transition metal selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), silver (Ag) and nickel (Ni); mixtures thereof; or an alloy thereof.
The internal temperature of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 may be maintained at 350 to 450 ℃.
Even if the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 is operated at a lower temperature of 350 to 450 c due to its function including the oxidation catalyst, at least a part of VOC remaining in the exhaust purge gas of the thermal oxidation chamber 31 can be further oxidized. The internal temperature (350 ℃ C. to 450 ℃ C.) of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 can be controlled by at least one heat exchanger 32, 33 described later to cool the high-temperature purge gas discharged from the thermal oxidation chamber 31.
In an environment (350 ℃ C. to 450 ℃ C.) where the internal temperature of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 is low, NO is generatedxThe yield is not low, so NO is causedxThe amount of odor generated is reduced.
The apparatus 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor can achieve a VOC removal efficiency of 99% or more and an odor dilution factor of 50 or less by the combination of the thermal oxidation chamber 31 and the catalytic oxidation chamber 34. The odor dilution factor can be calculated by the following equation 2.
[ equation 2]
Odor dilution factor (volume of exhaust gas + volume of dilution air)/(volume of exhaust gas)
In said equation 2, the "dilution air volume" is defined as the minimum dilution air volume required to prevent the generation of odor in the diluted exhaust gas when the exhaust gas is diluted with dilution air.
In addition, silicon (Si) and VOC substances contained in exhaust gas flowing in a semiconductor process are oxidized, such as carbon dioxide (SiO)2) Since the temperature at which the amorphous substance is gelated (gelation) is 800 ℃ or more, thereafter, the amorphous substance such as silicon dioxide (Si) is not gelated under the environment in which the internal temperature of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 is 350 ℃ to 450 ℃, so that the phenomenon in which the oxidation catalyst layer is blocked by the gel of the amorphous substance (e.g., silica gel) does not occur.
In addition, the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 can convert carbon monoxide (CO) generated from incompletely combusted fuel in the thermal oxidation chamber 31 into carbon monoxide (CO)2)。
The apparatus for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor 30 may further comprise at least one heat exchanger 32, 33 disposed between the thermal oxidation chamber 31 and the catalytic oxidation chamber 34.
The at least one heat exchanger 32, 33 may be configured to cause heat exchange between the off-gas before being supplied to the thermal oxidizer 31 and the purge gas discharged from the thermal oxidizer 31.
Furthermore, at least one heat exchanger 32, 33 may have a structure and operating temperature that is not blocked by the gel of amorphous material (e.g., silica gel) formed by the thermal oxidizer 31.
To this end, at least one of the heat exchangers 32, 33 may comprise a shell and tube heat exchanger (shell and tube heat exchanger)32 and a first plate heat exchanger (plate heat exchanger)33 in series with each other.
The Shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 may comprise a cylindrical Shell (not shown in the figure) and a tube bundle (not shown in the figure) disposed within the cylindrical Shell (https:// en. Therefore, even if the thermal oxidation chamber 31 or the like forms silicon oxide (SiO)2) But the gel can be easily removed by servicing the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 because it accumulates within the tubes included in the tube bundle.
The front end portion of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 may be connected to the rear end portion of the thermal oxidizer 31, and the rear end portion of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 may be connected to the first plate heat exchanger 33.
The shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 may be configured to cause heat exchange between the off-gas before being supplied to the thermal oxidizer 31 after passing through the first plate heat exchanger 33 and the purge gas discharged from the thermal oxidizer 31.
The shell and tube heat exchanger 32 may be a high temperature heat exchanger above 550 ℃. That is, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 may be a heat exchanger capable of withstanding high temperatures in excess of 550 ℃.
The first Plate heat exchanger 33 may be a heat exchanger (https:// en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Plate _ heat _ exchanger) that transfers heat between two fluids (i.e., exhaust gas and purge gas) using a plurality of metal plates.
The front end portion of the first plate heat exchanger 33 may be connected to the rear end portion of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32, and the rear end portion of the first plate heat exchanger 33 may be connected to the front end portion of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34.
The first plate heat exchanger 33 may be configured to cause heat exchange between the off-gas before being supplied to the thermal oxidizer 31 and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 and the purge gas passing through the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 after being discharged from the thermal oxidizer 31.
The first plate heat exchanger 33 may be a medium temperature heat exchanger below 550 ℃. That is, the first plate heat exchanger 33 may be a heat exchanger that can withstand a low temperature of 550 ℃. For example, the first plate heat exchanger 33 may be a brazed plate heat exchanger (brazed plate heat exchanger). For example, brazed plate heat exchangers may be constructed from a plurality of stainless steel plates vacuum brazed (vacuum brazed) with copper or nickel.
The device for removing VOC and reducing odor from exhaust gas 30 may further comprise a second plate heat exchanger 35 connected to the rear end portion of the catalytic oxidation chamber 34.
The second plate heat exchanger 35 may be configured to cause heat exchange between the exhaust gas before being supplied to the thermal oxidizer 31 and the at least one heat exchanger 32, 33 and the purge gas discharged from the catalytic oxidizer 34.
The second plate heat exchanger 35 may have the same structure and performance as the first plate heat exchanger 33. Thus, the second plate heat exchanger 35 may be a medium temperature heat exchanger below 550 ℃, as in the first plate heat exchanger 33.
Since the first plate heat exchanger 33 and the second plate heat exchanger 35 are small in volume, the volume of the equipment, i.e., the device 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor can be minimized.
Furthermore, the first plate heat exchanger 33 and the second plate heat exchanger 35 have a higher heat transfer efficiency than the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32.
Further, plate heat exchangers can be divided into a shim plate heat exchanger, which is easy to maintain but can only be used below 200 ℃, and a brazed plate heat exchanger, which can be used at slightly higher temperatures but cannot be maintained cleanly, and the operating temperature of which is also limited to 580 ℃.
The apparatus for removing VOC and reducing odor from exhaust gas 30 may further include an exhaust fan F connected to the rear end portion of the second plate heat exchanger 35.
The exhaust fan F is used to compensate for the reduction of the flow of the purge gas due to the pressure loss generated between the devices 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 to achieve a smooth flow of the purge gas.
The above-structured apparatus 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor has the following advantages: the thermal oxidizer 31 and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 are used in a process such as carbon dioxide (SiO)2) The amorphous substance gel (e.g., silica gel) can be operated under high temperature conditions, is not easily blocked by the gel, and the gel is easily removed by maintenance, so that the problems of the conventional regenerative thermal oxidizer shown in fig. 1, i.e., the problems associated with poor exhaust due to increased pressure loss between devices, can be prevented, the device can be operated for a longer time, and at the same time, the high-cost heat storage material and the replacement cost thereof can be saved.
The operation of the device 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor and the effect thereof will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3.
In fig. 3, solid arrows indicate the flow path of VOC inflow exhaust gas (i.e., exhaust gas), and dotted arrows indicate the flow path of VOC treatment exhaust gas (i.e., purge gas).
First, the exhaust gas having a temperature T1 (e.g., 70 ℃) passes through the intake Gi and the line L1 in order from the outside, thereafter flows into the second plate heat exchanger 35 and is heated to T2 (e.g., 210 ℃). The exhaust gases passing through the second plate heat exchanger 35 flow along line L2 into the first plate heat exchanger 33.
The exhaust gases flowing into the first plate heat exchanger 33 are then heated again in the first plate heat exchanger 33 to T3 (e.g. 410 c). The exhaust gas passing through the first plate heat exchanger 33 flows into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 along line L3.
Thereafter, the exhaust gas flowing into shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 is reheated to T4 (e.g., 610℃.) in shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32. The off-gas passing through the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 flows into the thermal oxidizer 31 along line L4.
Next, at least a part of VOC and carbon monoxide (CO) contained in the exhaust gas flowing into the thermal oxidizer 31 are subjected to primary oxidation in the thermal oxidizer 31. The purge gas discharged from the thermal oxidizer 31 has a temperature of T5 (e.g., 750 ℃) and flows into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 through a line L5.
Thereafter, the purge gas flowing into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 is cooled to T6 (e.g., 550 ℃) in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32. The purge gas discharged from the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 32 flows into the first plate heat exchanger 33 through line L6.
The purge gas flowing into the first plate heat exchanger 33 is then cooled again in the first plate heat exchanger 33 to T7 (e.g. 350 c). The purge gas discharged from the first plate heat exchanger 33 flows into the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 through a line L7.
Thereafter, at least a part of VOC and carbon monoxide (CO) contained in the purge gas flowing into the catalytic oxidation chamber 34 are secondarily oxidized in the catalytic oxidation chamber 34. The purge gas discharged from the catalytic oxidation chamber 34, which has a temperature T8 (e.g., 350 ℃), flows into the second plate heat exchanger 35 through a line L8.
Thereafter, the purge gas flowing into the second plate heat exchanger 35 is cooled again in the second plate heat exchanger 35 to T9 (e.g. 210 ℃). The purge gas discharged from the second plate heat exchanger 35 is sucked into the exhaust fan F through a line L9, flows into the stack through a line L10, and is discharged to the outside through an exhaust port Go formed in the stack.
In fig. 3, the relationship between the temperatures of the respective portions is as follows: t1< T2< T3< T4< T5, T9< T8(═ T7) < T6< T5, and T8(═ T7) < T3.
The apparatus 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor having the above-described structure can be operated at a low temperature to reduce the amount of NOx generation of odor compared to the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 of fig. 1, and since a single flow path manner in which exhaust gas and purge gas flow in one direction is adopted, i.e., flow path changing units 18-1 and 18-2 as in the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 of fig. 1 are not required, leakage of exhaust gas does not occur, and as a result, odor can be reduced. Also, the device 30 for removing VOC from exhaust gas and reducing odor has a relatively low operating temperature compared to the regenerative thermal oxidizer 10 of fig. 1, but has a high VOC removal efficiency and can prevent Silica (SiO) from being generated2) Such that the solid substance is gelled (gelation) and blocks pores of the heat storage material or the catalyst, thereby causing a sudden increase in pressure loss.
Further, the apparatus 30 for removing VOC and reducing odor from exhaust gas having the above-described structure can generate final purified gas at a low temperature (e.g., 210 ℃) with a higher heat recovery rate than the high-temperature recovery type thermal oxidizer 20 of fig. 2 when the total volume of the apparatus is the same.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, these are by way of example only and it is to be understood that numerous changes may be made and equivalents may be resorted to by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the technical scope of the invention in essence should be defined according to the technical idea of the attached claims.
