Definitions

  • This invention relates to spouted bed combustors and fluidised bed combustors. More particularly it concerns the construction of burners and fluid feed nozzles for spouted bed combustors.
  • a variation of the invention encompasses the modification of fluid feed nozzles of a fluidised bed combustor to effect incipient fluidisation of bed material.
  • the present invention extends to burner arrays for the establishment of an extensive area of spouts within a spouted bed combustor, and associated arrangements for the removal of dense debris from the combustor.
  • Fluidised bed combustors and spouted bed combustors are well-known to process control engineers. They are featured in most engineering handbooks, and form the basis for the Noyes Data Corporation's review "Fluidised bed combustion of coal and waste materials", which was published in 1977. A more recent review of fluidised bed and spouted bed combustors is the paper by Robert La Nauze, an officer of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, entitled "Fluidised bed combustion, A state-of-the-art review”.
  • the present invention is the result of further work in connection with fluidised bed combustors and spouted bed combustors, especially the latter, which has been undertaken to develop combustors which are particularly adapted for the combustion of liquid and particulate wastes containing carbonaceous materials.
  • wastes are industrial oil wastes, paint manufacturing process wastes, sawdust at sawmills, rice hulls and coffee grounds, as well as coal washery wastes. They are presented for combustion as liquids, slurries, sludges, powders or moist or dry particulate masses.
  • the prime objectives of the present invention are the more effective and efficient combustion of such wastes, and better running of combustors for extended periods of time.
  • other objectives include more efficient waste heat extraction, the establishment of a low cost and effective alternative to oil-fired and gas-fired burners for those who have already incurred the substantial capital cost of installing an oil-fired or gas-fired boiler, and more effective mixing of the bed and solid fuels.
  • a new form of nozzle for injecting gases and fluid fuel into a bed of particulate material comprises an outer tube of generally circular cross-section and an inner tube mounted to be within and substantially coaxial with the outer tube, characterised in that
  • the inner tube is adapted to carry a gaseous or liquid fuel and terminates near to the end of the outer tube but wholly within it;
  • the outer tube is adapted for transport therethrough of air or other gas
  • the acute angle is less than or equal to the angle of repose of the worn-in particulate bed material.
  • the inner tube may be omitted.
  • the burner will extend horizontally from the side wall of a combustor, but it need not be horizontal, nor need it project into the combustor from the side wall.
  • a fluid feed nozzle for a fluidised bed or spouted bed combustor is characterised in that it comprises, in combination:
  • the outer tube is adapted to carry air or other gas
  • the inner tube is adapted to carry a fluid feedstock for the combustor
  • the end edge of the outer tube is, when in use in a fluidised or spouted bed combustor, in a substantially vertical plane;
  • an inwardly extending annular flange is formed in or attached to the outer tube near its end, but farther from its end than the termination of the inner tube.
  • fluid feedstock when used in this specification, includes slurries and particulate material carried or entrained in a liquid or gas.
  • the fluid feed nozzle may contain apertures in its (in use) lower portion, through which gas from the outer tube can enter the. particulate material of the bed and provide incipient fluidisation of the bed material.
  • the inner tube may be omitted from the fluid feed nozzle.
  • a fuel and feed injection system for a spouted or spouted/ fluidised bed combustor is characterised in that it comprises a centrally terminating burner nozzle and an array of inwardly or outwardly directed feed nozzles, said array being located in the lower region of a combustion chamber, whereby, in use, an extensive spouted bed of particulate material is created within the combustion chamber with a first annular region of static bed material being formed on the floor of the combustion chamber around the discharge of the burner nozzle, and a second region of static bed material being formed in the vicinity of the wall or walls of the combustion chamber.
  • the burner and feed nozzles project horizontally.
  • the second region of static bed material will be of annular shape and will have an inclined inner surface. If the array of nozzles is inwardly-directed, the ends of the nozzles will project through the inclined inner edge of the second region of static bed material.
  • the nozzles are preferably equi-spaced in the array, which may be formed as a plurality of annular or rectangular arrays, located one above another in the lower region of the combustion chamber.
  • the nozzles are of the type defined above.
  • the floor of the- combustion chamber may contain drain ports in the region of floor between or within the two regions of static bed material, through which dense debris in the combustor, which will collect below or at the spouts of the bed and between the two regions of static bed material, may be removed from the bed without interrupting its operation, by draining and/or conveying material from these parts.
  • a spouted bed combustor of this type can be converted into a fluidised bed combustor by feeding a course aggregate into the bed until it has built up over the ends of the nozzles and filled the lower sections of each spout.
  • the present invention is preferably installed in a combustion chamber having at least one substantially vertical metallic wall which forms at least part of a wall of a water chamber located outside the combustion chamber.
  • the present invention is installed, in a combustion chamber through which extends at least one substantially vertical metal tube or internal separator, the tube or separator interconnecting top and bottom header chambers.
  • the feed and burner nozzles of the present invention may also be used to convert an oil-fired, gas-fired or coal-fired boiler into a spouted bed or fluidised bed combustor by replacing the oil, gas or coal burners of the boiler with a particulate bed and first and second elongate ducts, the first elongate duct being adapted to carry air or other gas, the second elongate duct being adapted to carry a combustible fluid, a plurality of tubular extensions from each duct forming, within the particulate bed, an equal plurality of burner nozzles and/or feed nozzles of the present invention.
  • the nozzles will typically be formed on two sides of the ducts, which are themselves located within the particulate bed.
  • the two ducts can comprise a pair of tubes, one of the tubes forming the combustible fluid duct and being located within the tube forming the first duct.
  • the nozzles are then formed as branches extending from the tubes .
  • a variant of this use of the present invention is the conversion of an oil-fired, gas-fired or coalfired boiler into a spouted or fluidised bed combustor by replacing the oil or gas burners, or the coal-firing grate (as the case may be) with a particulate bed, within which is located an elongate duct having a plurality of tubular extensions branching therefrom, said duct being adapted to carry air within which liquid or particulate solid combustible material may be entrained, said extensions forming, within the particulate bed, burner or feed nozzles constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • liquid or solid combustible material may be introduced into the particulate bed, in which case there will be no entrained combustible material carried in the duct and the extensions will simply supply air to the particulate bed to enable the combustible materials in the bed to burn.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of (a) a conventional fluidised bed combustor and (b) a conventional spouted bed combustor.
  • Figure 2 illustrates three constructions of a burner nozzle for a spouted bed combustor.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 illustrate the construction of feed nozzles for a spouted bed combustor, which include incipient fluidising apparatus.
  • Figure 5 shows a spouted bed combustor in which spouts are created with an array of burner nozzles and feed nozzles.
  • Figure 6 is a plan view, from above, of the lower part of the inside of the combustion chamber of the combustor of Figure 5, with the bed material removed.
  • Figure 7 illustrates the conversion of a spouted bed combustor of the type illustrated in Figure 5 into a fluidised bed combustor.
  • Figure 8 is a schematic diagram, of a fluidised bed or spouted bed combustor in which a water jacket surrounds part of the combustion chamber and heat transfer tubes extend through the combustion chamber.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic diagrar. of two types of oil-fired or gas-fired boilers which have been converted into spouted or fluidised bed boilers.
  • Figure 10 illustrates, schematically, alternative ducting arrangements for the establishment of spouted or fluidised beds in place of oil or gas burners in boilers.
  • the fluidised bed combustor illustrated schematically in Figure 1(a) has a bed of particles 10 located within a combustion chamber 11 above a perforated grid 12. Hot air from a furnace enters the region 14 under grid 12, via air supply line 13.
  • the region 14 is known as a plenum chamber.
  • the grid 12 acts to distribute the air flow substantially evenly through the bed of particle 10, which initially are supported on grid 12. When the air velocity through the particles reaches a critical value, the particles are supported by the air flow and assume a turbulent movement akin to the boiling action of a liquid.
  • the bed of particles is then said to be a fluidised bed.
  • a material to be burnt is placed within bed 10 by any suitable means.
  • the illustrated nozzle 15 may be used for injecting combustible liquids and gases into the bed-.
  • the complete wiring is suspended in the fluidised bed.
  • the air and combustio: produced gases leave the space 16 above the bed through exhaust gas duct 17, which usually leads to a cyclone 18 (where fines are extracted from the gas stream) and heat exchanger 19 (to recover high grade heat from the hot exhaust gases).
  • the spouted bed combustor which is illustrated schematically in Figure 1(b), operates in a similar manner except that the plenum chamber 14 and diffusion plate 12 are usually absent (they may be present for incipient fluidisation purposes). They are replaced by a single upwardly directed nozzle 20. High velocin gas through nozzle 20 creates a highly turbulent spout of bed particles 10A above the nozzle.
  • the exhaust gases leave the combustion chamber 11A through duct 17, and pass through cyclone 18A and heat exchanger 19A-
  • a mode of operation is established in which a spouted bed is formed immediately above the nozzle 20, but the upper region of the bed is a less- vigorously moving fluidised bed.
  • a combustor has been termed a "spouted/fluidised bed combustor", to indicate its dual bed formation (see, for example, the specification of Australian patent No. 495,101).
  • nozzles in spouted bed combustors generally enter the combustion chamber through the base of the chamber and discharge gases (and in some cases liquids and entrained particulate material) vertically upwards.
  • gases and in some cases liquids and entrained particulate material
  • Some nozzles have caps on them to prevent bed particles from falling into the nozzle orifice and blocking it when the gas flow is switched off.
  • FIG. 2(a) A burner nozzle embodying this realisation is illustrated in Figure 2(a).
  • This nozzle comprises an outer tube 21 which enters a combustion chamber through its side wall 24 substantially horizontally, and which remains substantially horizontal when inside the combustion chamber.
  • the end 23 of tube 21 lies substantially in a plane which is at an angle ⁇ relative to the horizontal.
  • the angle ⁇ is equal to or less than the angle of repose of worn-in bed particles of the combustor.
  • the worn-in bed particles are generally more rounded than the particles of the bed before it has been fired, and consequently have a smaller angle of repose.
  • the nozzle of Figure 2(a) will continue to function well, even if the angle ⁇ is greater than the angle of repose of worn-in bed particles.
  • a second or inner tube 22, of much narrower bore than the tube 21, is supported by vanes 26.
  • the second tube 22 is substantially coaxial with tube 21.
  • the end 25 of tube 22 is near end 23 of tube 21 but is located within tube 21 a distance a from lowest part of end 23.
  • Tube 21 is connected to the air supply for the spout creation within the bed.
  • Tube 22 carries combustible gas into the spouted bed, or a liquid fuel which is vaporised during its travel in tube 23 as it nears end 25 due to heat radiated from the bed particles of the combustor and/or heat conducted from the hot gases being conveyed through tube 21. Ignition of such combustible fuels may be by contact with the bed material; by electric spark, or by a pilot-flame, in accordance with known arrangements.
  • tube 21 is made of 6 to 8mm thick vanadiumsteel or 310 or 253 MA stainless steel.
  • Tube 21 has a typical outer diameter in the range from 60mm to 125mm, and carries pre-combusted gases, heated to a temperature in the range from about 800 C to about 1,100o C, at a rate of from about 50 standard litres per second to about 1,000 standard litres per second.
  • Tube 22 is typically made from 10 to 16 gauge (BSG) stainless steel, has an outer diameter of from 6mm to 20mm, and carries . liquid or gas which leaves end 25 at temperatures greater than 30o C and at rates of from about 2 gaseous litres per second to about 40 gaseous litres per second.
  • Figures 2(b) and 2(c) illustrate alternative arrangements of burners of this type in a combustion chamber, which may be preferred in some combustor systems.
  • the tube 21 of the embodiment depicted in Figure 2(c) is itself not horizontal, but that the plane of end 23C of this tube makes an angle ⁇ relative to the horizontal which is usually equal to, or less than,but may in some circumstances be greater than, the angle of repose of the worn-in bed particles.
  • the inner tube 22 may be omitted if the fuel is particulate solid combustible material entrained in a stoichiometric excess of air.
  • the burner nozzle of Figure 2 need only be used for starting up the fluidised bed if feed nozzles of the type illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 are also used in the spouted bed combustor.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic sectional side view of a nozzle and Figure 4 is the section 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • the feed nozzle of Figure 3 has an outer tube 31 for conveying air to the combustor chamber and an inner tube 32 which carries fluid feedstock.
  • the outer tube enters the combustion chamber substantially horizontally through side wall 34.
  • the inner tube 32 is supported by vanes 36 to be substantially coaxial with tube 31.
  • the end 35 of tube 32 is near to, but a distance b inside, the substantially vertical end 33 of tube 31.
  • the feed nozzle differs from the burner nozzle described above by having an annular flange 37 attached to or formed integrally with tube 31, located a distance c from the end 33, which is greater than distance b.
  • Flange 37 extends radially into tube 31 a distance d.
  • tube 31 is constructed of vanadium steel or type 310 or 253 MA stainless steel which is from about 1mm to about 3mm thick, has an outer diameter in the range from about 50mm to about 100mm, and contains a flange which has dimension d of from about 5mm to about 20mm located a distance c of from about 50mm to about 125mm from its end 33.
  • Tube 32 is typically made of 10 to 16 gauge (BSG) stainless steel, has an outer diameter of from about 6mm to about 20mm, and is located within tube 31 so that distance b is from about 40mm to about 120mm.
  • BSG 10 to 16 gauge
  • An optional, but preferred feature of feed nozzles of this type is the inclusion in the lower part of tube 31 of a plurality of incipiently fluidising apertures 38.
  • Such apertures 38 in the typical feed nozzle detailed in the last preceding paragraph, will be circular, of diameter from about 6mm to about 20mm.
  • Such apertures will be spaced apart a distance e of from about 50mm to about 200mm, and the aperture nearest to end 33 will be a distance f of from about 60mm to about 150mm from end 33.
  • the apertures 38 are located in the lower portion of tube 31 such that the tangent to the tube at the position of the centre of any aperture 38 forms an angle ⁇ .
  • the centres of apertures 38 on each side tube 31 are usually colinear.
  • the effect of apertures 38 is to allow a portion of the air being conveyed in tube 31 to enter the bed of the combustor and create a state of incipient or partialincipient fluidisation within the bed particles alongside and above tube 31.
  • This has two beneficial effects. It enables a spout to be established in the bed which "cuts back" relative to end 33 more than would be the case if the apertures 38 were not present; and, in addition, it enables lower air velocities and pressures to be used to establish the spouted bed. Both effects result in a more efficient bed operation.
  • fluid feed includes slurries and gas or liquid-entrained particulate materials, as well as gases and liquids, and the inner tube 32 may be omitted if the feedstock is particulate solid combustible material.
  • the spouted bed combustor illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 may be constructed.
  • This combustor has a combustion chamber which is generally circular or rectangular in cross-section, within which an extensive spout system is created by a generally circular array of nozzles located in the lower region of the combustion chamber. (Note that a rectangular array of nozzles could be substituted for the circular array, and that the nozzles in the array could be centrally located and directed outwardly towards the wall of the combustion chamber).
  • burner nozzle 50 and feed nozzles 51 extend substantially horizontally through side wall 54 of the combustion chamber.
  • the spouted bed 58 formed in the combustion chamber has a shape such that regions of static bed material 55,56 are created at the base of the chamber.
  • the first of these regions is a central, annular mound of particles 55, of generally triangular cross-section, formed around the end of nozzle 50.
  • the second is an inclined annular region of particles 56, formed alongside and underneath nozzles 51,
  • the amount of static bed material 56 can be reduced by appropriate shaping of the combustion chamber at its lower corner 52. If more than one array of nozzles 51 is used to create the spouted bed, the arrays may be stepped, as shown in Figure 5, to ensure that the ends of the nozzles of one array project into the bed to an extent which ensures that the inclined inner surface of region 56 of static particles is the same for each array.
  • An advantage of this form of spouted bed is that a region of non-static bed particles exists between regions 55,56. Any dense debris produced as a result of the operation of the bed will collect in this region. If the collected dense debris builds up, it can foul the ends of nozzles 50,51 and interrupt or modify the spouting action of the bed. It is thus advantageous, if long periods of operation of the spouted bed are contemplated, for at least one drain port 57 to be constructed in the floor of the combustion chamber between the regions of static bed material 55,56.
  • one drain port will suffice to extract collected dense debris during operation of the combustor, for the movements of the gas and particles in the spout will tend to distribute the dense debris uniformly around the floor of the combustion chamber between regions 55 and 56.
  • large particles of dense debris are generated in the bed, such particles may resist movement around region 55 when a single drain port 57 is opened and may prevent such movement of other particulate debris.
  • Conversion of this fluidised bed back to the spouted bed mode can be effected, without interruption to the operation of the combustor, by opening drain port(s) 57 until the aggregate 70 has been cleared from the combustion chamber.
  • a water chamber 80 is made with a metallic wall 81 which also forms part of the wall of the combustion chamber 82 of a spouted bed or fluidised bed combustor.
  • Heat exchanger 83 will normally be included in the exhaust gas processing equipment to extract heat from exhaust gases, notwithstanding the removal of heat from the combustion chamber by water chamber 80.
  • Wall 81 is typically of stainless steel.
  • a plurality of water chambers 80 may be used in conjunction with a fluidised bed or spouted bed combustor, or the entire combustion chamber 82 may be jacketed by a single water chamber 80.
  • a particularly beneficial feature of this waterjacketing, or partial water-jacketing, of the combustion chamber is the reduction in the amount of insulation required for the combustion chamber, and easier access to the combustion chamber for servicing of the combustor.
  • An additional, or alternative heat exchanger arrangement is the inclusion of at least one vertical water tube 85 in the combustion chamber.
  • the water tube or tubes 85 usually made of metal, connect an upper header tank 86 and a lower header tank 87, which in the illustrated embodiment form the upper and lower walls of the combustion chamber. It may be noted that only in spouted or fluidised bed combustors which have no plenum chamber is this particular, illustrated construction possible.
  • the vertical tube or tubes 85 need not be of constant internal or external dimensions.
  • the tube or tubes may also carry fins 88 for at least part of their length to assist in heat transfer from the bed or from the gas region above the bed to water passing through the finned tube (either by convection or as a result of pumping).
  • the heat transfer to the water contained in tube 85 or the array of tubes 85 may also be enhanced by inclining the tubes relative to the vertical.
  • a variation on this form of heat transfer arrangement is the use of substantially vertical internal separators (not shown) within the combustion chamber, dividing the combustion chamber into regions, with direct connection between adjacent separators and upper and lower header tanks. In effect, this is the establishment, within a combustion chamber, of internal walls, with water flowing through the inside of the "walls".
  • a feature of the feed nozzles and burners of the present invention is that they can be used in a conversion of existing oilfired and gas-fired boilers into boilers which have a fluidised bed or scouted bed combustor as their heat generating mechanism.
  • FIG 9 shows how a conversion may be effected with an oil-fired or gas-fired boiler of the fire-tube (package water-tube) type ( Figure 9 (a)) and with an open-D type boiler ( Figure 9 (b) ) .
  • the construction of such boilers will be well known to process engineers and need not be described here.
  • the oil or gas burners in the illustrated boilers have been replaced by a particulate bed 90 into which a substnatially horizontal air duct 91 and fluid fuel duct 92 extend.
  • the ducts supply air and fuel to a plurality of burner nozzles 93 located within bed 90 along the length of ducts 91.
  • the burner nozzles are of the type described above with reference to Figure 2(a) of the accompanying drawings.
  • each nozzle 93 forms a spouted bed in which fuel is burnt,. and the exhaust gases of the bed take the place of the exhaust gases of the previous oil or gas burner in the boilers.
  • the converted boilers comprise yet another method of extracting useful heat energy while removing a waste material from the environment.
  • the burner nozzles 93 (and feed nozzles, if present) are spaced sufficiently closely, the individual spouted beds created by the nozzles combine to form a single elongated spouted bed in which combustion takes place and heat is produced.
  • Figure 10(a) is a schematic plan view of the ducting used in the exemplary embodiments of Figures 9(a) and 9(b).
  • Figure 10(b) is an end-view, also schematic, depicting the construction of an elongate double linear array of burner nozzles 101 and feed nozzles 102 using simple rectangular ducts 103, 104 and 105 which are adapted to supply, respectively, air, fuel and combustible feed to the tubes forming the burner nozzles and the feed nozzles 102.
  • a single duct with branching nozzles can be used for the conversion if the fuel for the spouted or fluidised bed combustor formed in the boiler is particulate solid combustible material which is entrained in a stoichiometric excess of air, or supplied otherwise to the particulate bed (in the latteralternative, the nozzles then supply air to the bed to enable the particulate material that is present to be burnt).
  • Some burner nozzles, supplied with liquid or gaseous fuel, will be required to start the combustion process.
  • Spouted bed combustors and fluidised bed combustors which include the present invention have many industrial uses. A number of these uses have been mentioned already in this specification, and they require no elaboration. However, it may be noted that a fluidised bed combustor of the type illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 of the accompanying drawings has been constructed to burn industrial oil wastes and paint factory wastes. This combustor has functioned well, as have similar combustors which have recently been built to dispose of, and recover heat from, coffee grains and rice hulls. Other combustors, incorporating the present invention, have been designed to burn sawdust at a saw mill and coal washery rejects.

Abstract

Des gicleurs d'alimentation de combustible et d'air et des gicleurs d'alimentation de fluide sont destines a etre utilises dans des chambres de combustion a lit gicle, a lit fluidise et a lit gicle/fluidise. Les gicleurs comprennent des tubes coaxiaux, montes l'un dans l'autre, le tube interne (qui amene le materiau d'alimentation combustible ou carburant) se terminant avant qu'il n'atteigne l'extremite de refoulement du tube externe (qui transporte l'air ou autre gaz). Les gicleurs dirigent leurs refoulements de fluide sensiblement horizontalement dans le lit particulaire de leurs chambres de combustion. L'extremite de refoulement du tube externe des gicleurs d'alimentation en combustible et air (appeles "becs de bruleurs") se trouve dans un meme plan mais un angle par rapport a l'horizontale. L'extremite de refoulement du tube externe des gicleurs d'alimentation de fluide est verticale et dans un plan, mais une bride s'etendant vers l'interieur est situee dans le tube externe, a proximite de l'extremite de refoulement. Des chambres de combustion sont construites en utilisant des rangees de ces gicleurs en prevoyant un drainage des debris provenant de la chambre de combustion. De telles chambres de combustion peuvent comprendre des chambres d'eau faisant partie de la paroi de la chambre de combustion, ou des tubes s'etendant depuis le toit jusqu'au plancher de la chambre, pour chauffer l'eau. Les gicleurs peuvent egalement etre utilises dans les rangees lineaires, dans des lits particulaires allonges, pour obtenir des chambres a combustion a lit fluidise pour chauffer des chaudieres auxquelles sont deja adaptes des bruleurs a petrole, gaz ou charbon.
