Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for cleaning the surfaces of an installation, fouled by deposits, including or not, resulting from the combustion of carbonaceous materials, applicable without having to stop the combustion process.
  • any combustion operation using carbonaceous materials is generally accompanied, on the one hand, by the emission of gas. more or less hot, on the other hand, from the formation of non-combustible mineral products and unburned carbon products. These products are more or less entrained in the circuits in which the gases are transported and they can either deposit on their surface or react chemically with the materials constituting said surfaces, due to the high temperature and their composition, melt and adhere to these last. We thus created more or less encrusting deposits.
  • Such a method is generally implemented outside any combustion process, that is to say the plant stopped; if not, use blowing heads designed so that they can be exposed to the action of more or less corrosive hot gases without deteriorating.
  • Chemical cleaning can also be used, for example, soaking the surfaces to be cleaned with an ammonia solution to neutralize the sulfuric anhydride present in the deposits to be eliminated.
  • this method has the same disadvantages as those mentioned above.
  • This process is characterized in that at least one body is injected into the installation capable of reacting chemically with the carbonaceous and mineral deposits which foul the surfaces and that the particles resulting from the chemical reactions are displaced by phasing with overhead acoustic waves to cause them to be entrained by the flow of air or combustion gases or their fall towards the ashtrays of the installation.
  • the cleaning process is characterized, first of all, by injecting into the installation at least one body capable of reacting chemically with the carbonaceous and mineral deposits resulting from the combustion of carbonaceous materials.
  • the chemical reaction must most generally lead to the oxidation of the deposits.
  • carbon deposits there is combustion, therefore, destruction of said deposits; in the case of mineral deposits, an oxidation reaction takes place leading to an increase in volume, and therefore to the disintegration of the crystal structures of the deposits.
  • this destruction of the structures can also be induced by chemical reactions of the decomposition reaction type and / or substitution reactions.
  • the chemical reaction must also be able to take place under high temperature chemistry conditions.
  • the applicant preferably uses an oxidant and in particular a nitrate, or even a mixture of nitrates such as potassium nitrate and nitrate ammonium, which, when used in aqueous solution, has a concentration of about 200 to 300 g / liter.
  • the injected body always contains the corrosion inhibitors necessary to avoid chemical attacks on the materials constituting the system. It is also possible to use bodies capable of inducing neutralization and / or substitution reactions. The choice of the constituents of the injected body and the quantities of the injected body also take account of the atmospheric pollution regulations.
  • the body is used in the divided state in order to obtain the largest possible contact surface with carbon and mineral deposits, and, consequently, an accelerated chemical reduction.
  • This state of division can be further increased by injecting the body in the form of a solution which is atomized by means of ultrasonic atomizers or by any other means capable of ensuring suitable dispersion and the number and geographical location of which are essentially depending on the structure of the installation to be cleaned. However, they are generally placed so that the cloud of corpuscles they produce does not come into contact with the flame resulting from the combustion of carbonaceous materials.
  • the atomizers can be installed specially for the cleaning operation or permanently on the existing openings of the installation, for example on manholes.
  • the body can be injected continuously throughout the cleaning period or in a scheduled fashion.
  • the body pulverized and entrained by the gases resulting from the combustion is rapidly brought into contact with the carbonaceous and mineral deposits on which it reacts by causing them combustion or the desired chemical reaction. These reactions cause their fine fragmentation which will favor their subsequent displacement under the action of acoustic waves.
  • the system to be cleaned being in normal operation during the injection of the body, the temperatures at which the reactions take place are between 300 and 1000 ° C, and these reactions are therefore very fast, and even call for high temperature chemistry.
  • the second characteristic of the invention therefore consists in displacing the particles resulting from the chemical reactions in order to cause them to entrain in the circuit of the combustion gases or their fall towards the ashtrays of the installation.
  • This setting in motion of the particles is obtained by their putting in phase with air acoustic waves, generated by sources of sound vibrations.
  • These sources emit vibrations of audible frequencies of 250 Hertz, for example. It is in the range of audible frequencies that sound sources are most effective for the intended purpose, but it is possible to use infra or ultra-sound sources for certain deposits.
  • the deposits which foul the surfaces of the installation are reduced to a more or less pulverulent mass of particles which is either entrained by the gases resulting from the combustion. and possibly stopped by electrostatic precipitators, or redeposited in certain places of the installation, for example in the lower parts of the installation where it does not hinder the heat exchanges and can be recovered at any time or during a stop of the 'installation according to the design of the latter.
  • FIG. 1 shows, schematically, a vertical section of a high power boiler (1) equipped with a burner (2) emitting a flame (3) generating hot gases which circulate in the direction of the arrows (4) , accompanied by carbonaceous and mineral products which are deposited on the surfaces (5) of the four exchangers (6).
  • Four sprayers (7) arranged in different places of the boiler inject the body capable of reacting chemically with the deposits which foul the surfaces while five sound sources (8) have been placed on each of the two lateral faces of the installation, parallel to the axis of the burner.
  • FIG. 2 represents a vertical section of a small power steel boiler (9) for the production of hot water or steam equipped with a burner (10) emitting a flame (11) from which result the gases which circulate following the direction of the arrows (12), leaving a part of the solid products which accompany them on the exchange surfaces (13).
  • a burner 10
  • three injectors (14) were placed while a sound source (15) was placed between the two tubular bundles of the installation.
  • FIG. 3 represents a vertical section of a refinery furnace (16) consuming 70 tonnes of heavy fuel oil per day.
  • This oven is equipped with three burners (17) which emit flames (18) in each of the three radiation cells (19).
  • the combustion gases circulate in the direction of the arrows (20) and allow some of the suspended particles to deposit, which they entrain on the surfaces of the exchangers (21).
  • Three sprayers (22) were placed near each of the burners, and a fourth, at the outlet of the cells radiation, while seven sound sources (23) were placed for three of them on one of the side walls of the installation at the level of the cells and, for the other four, at the level of the exchangers (21).
  • the process was as follows: 200 liters of a solution containing 155 g / l of ammonium nitrate and 135 g / l of potassium nitrate were injected, brought by adding ammonia at a pH in the region of 9.3 and this, for a period of 60 minutes in four periods of 15 minutes, with a stop of 30 minutes between each injection.
  • the draft of the boiler was reduced to the minimum in order to avoid loss of body through the chimney and four sound sources installed on the walls of the boiler were activated for 10 seconds every 15 minutes at a frequency of 250 Hz and an intensity of 140 decibels. These sources were kept in service for 24 hours after the end of the injection to complete the cleaning.
  • the particles which detached from the surfaces were entrained by the flow of combustion gases and stopped by an electrostatic precipitator.
  • This process finds its application in the cleaning of the surfaces of installations such as, in particular, boiler combustion chambers, rotary or static heat exchangers, flues and smoke ducts, electrostatic filters, and on which we want to intervene without having to stop the combustion process and maintain maximum heat output in order to achieve significant energy savings.
