Abstract

In the operation of a refuse incinerator, the parameters affecting the combustion process are measured as a function of the water content of the refuse, the water content preferably being determined by means of a radiation receiver with downstream evaluation circuits responding to H2O bands in the spectrum. Evaluation of the spectra over a plurality of zones of the grate allows the air supply and the reduction of pollutants to be optimised. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 und 2.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.

Die Steuerung der Verbrennung im Müllverbrennungsanlagen, deren Verbrennungsgase üblicherweise über einen Wärmetauscher in Form eines Dampferzeugers geleitet werden, erfolgt gegenwärtig weit­gehend manuell. Der Bedienungsmann beobachtet den Ablauf der Verbrennung auf dem Rost und varriiert entsprechend Parameter, die den Verbrennungsvorgang beeinflussen, so die Verteilung der unter dem Rost zugeführten Primär-Verbrennungsluft auf die Zo­nen, die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Brennstoffs in den Zonen, und andere solche Parameter.The control of the combustion in waste incineration plants, the combustion gases of which are usually passed through a heat exchanger in the form of a steam generator, is currently largely manual. The operator observes the combustion process on the grate and varies according to parameters that influence the combustion process, such as the distribution of the primary combustion air supplied under the grate to the zones, the conveying speed of the fuel in the zones, and other such parameters.

Im Gegensatz zu Dampferzeugern, die mit traditionellem fossilem Brennstoff wie Steinkohle, Schweröl oder Erdgas gefeuert werden, besteht bei Müll (aber auch bei anderen Brennstoffen, etwa Torf) das Problem, daß der Heizwert des Brennstoffs stark schwankt. Während etwa bei einem gasgefeuerten Kessel der Dampfmengenstrom am Ausgang des Dampferzeugers als Führungsgröße für die Steue­rung oder Regelung des Brennstoff- und/oder Luftdurchsatzes dienen kann, ist ein solcher unmittelbarer Zusammenhang bei der Müllverbrennung nicht gegeben; beim Einsetzen des Brennstoffs kann z.B. auf einen Ballen Altpapier eine größere Menge Garten­abfälle folgen, dann wieder Kunststoffbehälter, Glas usw. Diese Stoffe haben einen erheblich unterschiedlichen Heizwert.In contrast to steam generators, which are fired with traditional fossil fuel such as hard coal, heavy oil or natural gas, the problem with waste (but also with other fuels, such as peat) is that the calorific value of the fuel fluctuates greatly. While in a gas-fired boiler the steam flow at the outlet of the steam generator can serve as a reference variable for the control or regulation of the fuel and / or air throughput, there is no such direct connection in waste incineration; when using the fuel e.g. followed by a large amount of garden waste on a bale of waste paper, then plastic containers, glass, etc. These materials have a significantly different calorific value.

Man hat bereits versucht, die Luftdurchlässigkeit solchen Brennstoffs in der Verdampfungs- und Entgasungszone des Rostes zu erfassen, indem indirekt der Differenzdruck bezüglich der von unten in dieser Zone eingesetzten Primärluft gemessen wurde, und das Aufgabevolumen des Mülls so zu variieren, daß die mittlere Dichte des Brennstoffs einigermaßen konstant gehalten wird, wo­bei ebenfalls als Führungsgröße der Dampfmengenstrom vorgegeben ist. Diese Art der Steuerung ist jedoch mit erheblicher Totzeit behaftet, da der Durchlauf einer diskreten Menge Brennstoff von der Aufgabe bis zum Ascheaustrag mehrere zehn Minuten betragen kann und der unterschiedliche Heizwert, der hauptsächlich Pro­bleme bereitet, erst in der zweiten und dritten Zone zum Tragen kommt; in der dritten Zone insofern, als die Gefahr besteht, daß noch glühende Partikel oder zu heiße Asche ausgetragen werden.Attempts have already been made to ensure air permeability Detect fuel in the evaporation and degassing zone of the grate by indirectly measuring the differential pressure with respect to the primary air used from below in this zone, and to vary the volume of the refuse so that the average density of the fuel is kept reasonably constant, also the steam flow rate is specified as the reference variable. However, this type of control is associated with considerable dead time, since the passage of a discrete amount of fuel from the task to the ash discharge can take several ten minutes and the different calorific value, which mainly causes problems, only comes into play in the second and third zones; in the third zone insofar as there is a risk that glowing particles or too hot ashes will be discharged.

Überdies korreliert der Heizwert nur sehr bedingt mit der Dichte der jeweils verbrennenden Schicht.Furthermore, the calorific value correlates only to a very limited extent with the density of the burning layer.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es primär, die Totzeit bei der Steue­rung zu verringern. Sekundär soll auch die Verbrennung auch bei unterschiedlichen Heizwerten so erfolgen, daß am stromabliegen­den Ende des Rostes wirklich der Müll volständig verbrannt ist, was wiederum eine Schadstoffminderung in den Abgasen erlaubt so­wie eine merkliche Senkung des Luftverbrauchs.The primary object of the invention is to reduce the dead time in the control. Secondly, the combustion should also take place at different calorific values so that the garbage is really burned completely at the downstream end of the grate, which in turn allows a reduction in pollutants in the exhaust gases and a noticeable reduction in air consumption.

Ein erster Aspekt der Erfindung ist in Patentanspruch 1 definiert. Er beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß in den meisten Fällen der Wassergehalt des Brennstoffs in charakteristisches Indiz für seinen Heizwert ist; für Brennstoffe mit geringem Wassergehalt und geringem Heizwert, wie Bauschutt, Glas, Metalle, ist es zweckmäßig, zusätzlich den CO₂-Ge­halt der Verbrennungsgase möglichst frühzeitig zu erfassen; gegebe­nenfalls genügt auch die Erfassung nur dieses Co₂-Gehalts.A first aspect of the invention is defined in claim 1. It is based on the knowledge that in most cases the water content of the fuel is a characteristic indicator of its calorific value; for fuels with low water content and low calorific value, such as rubble, glass, metals, it is advisable to also record the CO₂ content of the combustion gases as early as possible; if necessary, the detection of only this Co₂ content is sufficient.

Gemäß dem Aspekt der Erfindung, der in Patentanspruch 2 definiert ist, kann man eine sehr viel bessere Steuerung der Wärmeleistung er­zielen, wenn das Produkt aus dem Heizwert -- ermittelt vorzugsweise gemäß Patentanspruch 1 -- und der Dichte des Brennstoffs als Ein­gangsgröße ausgewertet wird.According to the aspect of the invention, which is defined in claim 2, a much better control of the thermal output can be achieved if the product of the calorific value - determined preferably according to claim 1 - and the density of the fuel is evaluated as an input variable.

Welche Parameter im einzelnen gesteuert werden, wird von der Bauart der Anlage abhängen; zur Vereinfachung sei auf die Patentansprüche 3 bis 11 verwiesen.Which parameters are controlled individually will depend on the type of system; for simplification, reference is made to claims 3 to 11.

Ferner ist anzumerken, daß natürlich die Steuerketten in geeig­neter Weise zu geschlossenen Regelkreisen ergänzt werden können.It should also be noted that the control chains can of course be suitably supplemented to form closed control loops.

Es ist bevorzugt, den Wassergehalt dadurch indirekt zu bestim­men, daß das für H₂O bzw. CO₂ charakteristische Bandenspektrum der Strahlung in der Verdampfungs- und Entgasungszone gemessen wird, wobei die Intensität Rückschlüsse auf den Wassergehalt des Gases und damit des Brennstoffs bzw. den Heizwert selbst er­laubt.It is preferred to indirectly determine the water content by measuring the band spectrum of the radiation characteristic of H₂O or CO₂ in the evaporation and degassing zone, the intensity allowing conclusions to be drawn about the water content of the gas and thus of the fuel or the calorific value itself .

Für die Optimierung der Verbrennung kann man dann auch die Strahlung in den nachfolgenden Zonen erfassen, wo die Banden für H₂O und CO₂ Kennwerte für die Temperatur der Verbrennungsgase abzuleiten gestatten, während die Erfassung weiterer Banden, wie SO₂, NOx, CO usw. Vorhersagen bezüglich der Schadstoffbelastung der Gase ermöglicht und so die heute üblicherweise vorgesehenen Rauchgasreinigungsanlagen auf Optima einzustellen gestattet.For the optimization of the combustion, one can then also record the radiation in the following zones, where the bands for H₂O and CO₂ allow characteristic values for the temperature of the combustion gases to be derived, while the acquisition of further bands, such as SO₂, NO x , CO etc., make predictions with regard to enables the pollution of the gases and thus allows the flue gas cleaning systems usually provided today to be set to Optima.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Anlage, bei der das Verfahren ge­mäß der Erfindung eingesetzt wird, in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachstehend beschrieben.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt, schematisiert, eine Müllverbrennungsanlage mit nachgeschaltetem Dampferzeuger,
  • Fig. 2 ist ein gegenüber Fig. 1 vergrößerter Längsschnitt nur des Brennraums, und
  • Fig. 3 ist ein entsprechender Schnitt in einer um 90° ver­setzten Ebene.
An embodiment of a plant in which the method according to the invention is used is shown in the accompanying drawing and is described below.
  • 1 shows, schematically, a waste incineration plant with a downstream steam generator,
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the combustion chamber, and enlarged, compared to FIG. 1
  • Fig. 3 is a corresponding section in a plane offset by 90 °.

Man erkennt in Fig. 1 den Müllaufgabeschacht 10, eine Aufgabe­vorrichtung 12 in Form eines hinundhergehenden Schiebers, den Rost 14 in Form von sechs hintereinander achsparallel angeord­neten zum Umlauf angetriebenen Walzen und den Ascheaustrag 16. Der Dampferzeuger 18 bietet im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung keine Besonderheiten.- Unterhalb des Rostes befinden sich Pri­märluft-Zuleitungen 20, wobei -- wie in Fig. 3 erkennbar -- jede nochmals in eine "rechte" und eine "linke", getrennt steuerbare Hälfte unterteilt ist.1 shows the garbage feed chute 10, a feed device 12 in the form of a reciprocating slide, the grate 14 in the form of six rollers, which are arranged one behind the other, axially parallel, and the ash discharge 16. The steam generator 18 provides in connection with the invention no special features. Below the grate are primary air supply lines 20, each of which, as can be seen in FIG. 3, is subdivided into a "right" and a "left", separately controllable half.

In den ersten beiden Luftzuleitungen 20a ist je ein Druckmess­gerät 22 angeordnet, dessen Meßwert je nach der Drosselung der Strömung durch den Brennstoff in der über den ersten beiden Walzen liegenden Schicht schwankt und somit dessen mittlere Dichte zu bestimmen gestattet. Anhand dieser Führungsröße kann das eingesetzt Brennstoffvolumen durch Beschleunigen oder Ver­zögern des Eintrags mittels Schieber 12 einigermaßen konstant gehalten werden.A pressure measuring device 22 is arranged in each of the first two air supply lines 20a, the measured value of which fluctuates depending on the throttling of the flow through the fuel in the layer lying above the first two rollers and thus allows its average density to be determined. On the basis of this guide variable, the fuel volume used can be kept somewhat constant by accelerating or decelerating the entry by means of a slide 12.

Oberhalb der ersten beiden Walzen, die die Verdampfungs- und Entgasungszone definieren, befinden sich beidseits in den Wan­dungen 24 Beobachtungslanzen 26, an deren äußerem Ende Meßaufnehmer gegebeneffals mit vorgeschalteten Filtern und nachgeschalteten elektronischen Verarbeitungsschaltkreisen vorgesehen sind. Je nach dem Spektrum, das primär interessiert, wird die Auswahl der Sensoren und/oder Filter getroffen. Hier interessiert die Band­enstrahlung H₂O, und/oder CO₂, und zwar bei relativ niedriger Temperatur im Bereich von z.B. 300..500°C, und entsprechend sind die opto-elektronischen Einrichtungen auszuiegen. (Dasselbe gilt für die Beobachtung der Verbrennung und der Asche, wie sich von selbst versteht).Above the first two rollers, which define the evaporation and degassing zone, there are observation lances 26 in the walls 24 on both sides, at the outer end of which measuring sensors are provided with upstream filters and downstream electronic processing circuits. Depending on the spectrum of primary interest, the selection of sensors and / or filters is made. Here the band radiation is interested in H₂O, and / or CO₂, at a relatively low temperature in the range of e.g. 300..500 ° C, and the opto-electronic devices must be bent accordingly. (The same applies to the observation of the combustion and the ashes, as a matter of course).

Die Lanzen sind auf die "rechte" bzw. "linke" Seite des Rostes gerichtet, so daß beide Seiten getrennt erfaßt werden; dies ist im Schnitt nach Fig. 3 nicht erkennbar, der etwa in der Ebene 2-2 liegt, doch gilt dies analog für die Beobachtungslanzen in den weiteren Zonen. Mindestens je ein Beobachtungslanzenpaar 28 ist in der Verbrennungszone über den mittleren beiden Walzen des Rostes 14 angebracht, und mindestens ein weiteres Beobachtungs­lanzenpaar 30 befindet sich über der Ausbrennzone, das heißt, über den beiden letzten Walzen.The lances are directed to the "right" or "left" side of the grate, so that both sides are detected separately; this cannot be seen in the section according to FIG. 3, which lies approximately in the plane 2-2, but this applies analogously to the observation lances in the further zones. At least one pair of observation lances 28 is in the combustion zone above the middle two rollers of the Grate 14 attached, and at least one further pair of observation lances 30 is located above the burnout zone, that is, above the last two rollers.

Über die Lanzen 28 wird der Verbrennungsvorgang beobachtet, am günstigsten in der Flammenfront, während die Lanzen 30 haupt­sächlich der Messung der Temperatur für den Ascheaustrag dienen.The combustion process is observed via the lances 28, most advantageously in the flame front, while the lances 30 serve mainly to measure the temperature for the ash discharge.

Es ist anzumerken, daß die Erfassung des CO-Gehalts in den Ver­brennungsgasen es ermöglicht, deren Gehalt auf ein Minimum zu bringen, wobei allerdings sowohl ein Luftunterschuß als auch ein Luftüberschuß zu hohe CO-Gehalte bewirken können; hier ist also eine differenzierte Auswertung erforderlich.It should be noted that the detection of the CO content in the combustion gases makes it possible to reduce their content to a minimum, although both an air deficit and an excess of air can result in excessively high CO contents; A differentiated evaluation is therefore necessary here.
