Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste treatment system for treating wastes including municipal wastes, industrial wastes, biomass wastes, medical wastes, automobile wastes such as waste tires or shredder dust, and the like, and more particularly to a slagging combustion furnace and a method of supplying gas for combustion in the slagging combustion furnace in a gasification and slagging combustion system in which the above wastes are gasified to produce combustible gas in a gasification furnace, and the produced combustible gas is combusted or gasified together with unburned carbon accompanied by the produced combustible gas to generate ash or molten slag in a swirling-type slagging combustion furnace.

  • the produced gas b is mixed with gas f for combustion in the primary combustion chamber 4 and combusted at a high temperature of about 1350°C in the secondary combustion chamber 5 to combust char contained in the produced gas b , thus melting ash contained in the char.
  • the produced gas b is further mixed with gas f for combustion in the tertiary combustion chamber 6 and combusted therein to generate exhaust gas e .
  • the exhaust gas e having a high temperature of about 1350°C is then introduced into the waste heat boiler 7.
  • Incombustibles d which are contained in the wastes a and are not gasified are discharged from the lower part of the fluidized bed in the fluidized-bed gasification furnace 2 to the outside.
  • the ash melted in the swirling-type slagging combustion furnace 3 is discharged as molten slag h from the swirling-type slagging combustion furnace 3 to the outside.
  • the high-temperature exhaust gas e passes successively through the waste heat boiler 7 and the economizer 8, and thus is cooled to a temperature of about 160°C.
  • the cooled exhaust gas e is introduced into the bag filter 9 where dust such as fly ash contained in the exhaust gas e is removed.
  • the exhaust gas e is preheated to a temperature (200°C to 210°C) enough to cause a catalytic reaction.
  • NOx and SOx contained in the exhaust gas e are removed through a reaction with ammonia in the catalytic reaction tower 11, and then the exhaust gas e is discharged from the stack 12 into the atmosphere.
  • steam produced in the waste heat boiler 7 is supplied to a steam turbine (not shown) coupled to a generator to generate electric power. The generated electric power is used for operating various equipment in the gasification and slagging combustion system to save energy and also to reduce the running cost.

  • the system includes a blower 30 for supplying gas f (mainly air) for combustion, a damper 31 connected to the blower 30, and flow control valves 32, 33, 34 and 35 connected to the damper 31 for supplying the gas f for combustion to the gas inlet port 20, the primary combustion chamber 4 coupled to the gas inlet port 20, the secondary combustion chamber 5 coupled to the primary combustion chamber 4, and the tertiary combustion chamber 6 coupled to the secondary combustion chamber 5.
  • gas f mainly air
  • damper 31 connected to the blower 30, and flow control valves 32, 33, 34 and 35 connected to the damper 31 for supplying the gas f for combustion to the gas inlet port 20, the primary combustion chamber 4 coupled to the gas inlet port 20, the secondary combustion chamber 5 coupled to the primary combustion chamber 4, and the tertiary combustion chamber 6 coupled to the secondary combustion chamber 5.
  • the produced gas b flows through the high-temperature duct 21 and is introduced from the gas inlet port 20 at a speed of 15 m/s to 25 m/s, preferably 18 m/s to 20 m/s into the primary combustion chamber 4, and the gas f for combustion is introduced from the gas supply nozzles 26 and 27 into the gas inlet port 20, thereby forming flames 39 in the primary combustion chamber 4 of the swirling-type slagging combustion furnace 3.
  • the gas f for combustion is blown such that the air ratio A ⁇ R in the upper portion of the primary combustion chamber 4 is in the range of 0.8 to 1.1, preferably 0.9 to 1.0.
  • the air ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of supplied air to the amount of air, which is set to 1.0, required to completely convert combustibles in the wastes into H 2 O and CO 2 by way of combustion.
  • the temperature in the primary combustion chamber 4 including the area near the gas inlet port 20 can be maintained at a high value of about 1300°C or higher, thus minimizing the time of the gas which passes through the transitional temperature range, i.e., allowing the gas to pass through such transitional temperature range as quickly as possible, and minimizing the space, in the slagging combustion furnace, where the atmosphere is within the transitional temperature range, i.e., making such space as small as possible.
  • the surface area of adhesion or attachment of clinker to the inner wall of the slagging combustion furnace is minimized, resulting in the prevention of adhesion or attachment to the inner wall surface of the slagging combustion furnace.
  • the air ratio were greater than 1.0, the amount of air which does not contribute to combustion would increase, and the cooling effect caused by air would also increase, thus lowering the temperature in the primary combustion chamber 4 and tending to expand the temperature range in which a clinker is adhered to the inner wall surface of the primary combustion chamber 4.
  • the air ratio A ⁇ R is increased successively in the secondary combustion chamber 5 and the tertiary combustion chamber 6.
  • the air ratio A ⁇ R in the secondary combustion chamber 5 is set to a value ranging from 0.9 to 1.3, preferably from 1.0 to 1.2
  • the air ratio A ⁇ R in the tertiary combustion chamber 6 is set to a value ranging from 1.2 to 1.7, preferably from 1.3 to 1.5.
  • the air ratio A ⁇ R is set to a value ranging from 0.9 to 1.3, preferably from 1.0 to 1.2 until the molten slag h is discharged from a slag outlet port 40, the temperature in the secondary combustion chamber 5 up to the slag outlet port 40 is maintained at a maximum level, thus allowing the molten slag h to be discharged downwardly stably.
  • adding the gas for combustion in the high temperature is effective to combust a small amount of unburned CO (carbon monoxide) in almost all combusted gas in the slagging combustion furnace.
  • the air ratio is set to a value ranging from 1.2 to 1.7, preferably from 1.3 to 1.5, while keeping the slagging combustion furnace at a high temperature. That is, the air ratio A ⁇ R in the tertiary combustion chamber 6 is set to a large value ranging from 1.3 to 1.5, whereby unburned CO is effectively combusted, and pyrolyzed gas and char are completely combusted without lack of air for combustion, even if the wastes are fluctuated in the supplied amount or quality.
  • the gas f for combustion is supplied in an excessive amount to absorb variations in the supplied amount of wastes and minimize any reduction in the temperature in the slagging combustion furnace 3. Therefore, the produced gas b and unburned materials such as char contained therein can be completely combusted, and the temperature in the slagging combustion furnace 3 can be kept at a high level for thereby increasing the percentage of slagging.
  • thermometers 36, 37 and 38 are mounted on the top wall of the primary combustion chamber 4, the wall of the secondary combustion chamber 5, and the wall of the tertiary combustion chamber 6, respectively, for measuring the temperatures in these combustion chambers.
  • Each of the thermometers 36, 37 and 38 may comprise a thermocouple or a radiation thermometer.
  • the temperatures in the combustion chambers may alternatively be calculated from the temperature of the exhaust gas discharged from the slagging combustion furnace 3 using the amount of recovered heat and the amount of cooling air that is used. The above ranges of the air ratio can be controlled using the temperatures thus measured or calculated.
  • the present invention is applicable to a slagging combustion furnace in a gasification and slagging combustion system in which wastes including municipal wastes, industrial wastes, biomass wastes, medical wastes, automobile wastes such as waste tires or shredder dust, and the like are gasified to produce combustible gas in a gasification furnace, and the produced combustible gas is combusted or gasified together with unburned carbon accompanied by the combustible gas to generate ash or molten slag in a swirling-type slagging combustion furnace.
