Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to fuel burners and, in particular, to a new and useful pulverized coal burner and method of combustion which achieves low NO x emissions by supplying oxygen directly to the center of the burner flame in a manner so as to create a fuel rich internal combustion zone within the burner flame and accelerate fuel combustion.
  • NO x is a byproduct produced during the combustion of coal and other fossil fuels.
  • Environmental concerns regarding the effects of NO x have prompted enactment of NO x emissions regulations requiring sharp NO x emission reductions from industrial and utility power plants in several countries including the United States.
  • Current commercial methods and apparatuses for reducing NO x emissions have been successful in lowering NO x emissions from the levels emitted in previous years; however, further advances, beyond those of currently known methods and apparatuses, are needed to maintain compliance with current NO x emissions regulations.
  • a variety of low NO x burners are commercially available and widely used to fire pulverized coal (PC) and other fossil fuels in a NO x reducing manner as compared to conventional burners. Examples of such burners are The Babcock & Wilcox Company's DRB-XCL ® and DRB-4Z ® burners.
  • Common to these and other low NO, burner designs is an axial coal nozzle surrounded by multiple air zones which supply secondary air (SA).
  • SA secondary air
  • PC suspended in a primary air (PA) stream is injected into the furnace through an axial coal nozzle, as an axial jet, with little or no radial deflection. Ignition of the PC is accomplished by swirling SA, thereby causing recirculation of hot gases along the incoming fuel jet.
  • a fraction of the SA is supplied to an air zone in close proximity to the coal nozzle and swirled to a relatively greater extent than the SA supplied to the other air zones to accomplish ignition.
  • the remaining SA from the burner is introduced through air zones further outboard in the burner utilizing less swirl, so as to mix slowly into the burner flame, thereby providing fuel rich conditions in the root of the flame.
  • Such conditions promote the generation of hydrocarbons which compete for available oxygen and serve to destroy NO x and/or inhibit the oxidation of fuel-bound and molecular nitrogen to NO x .
  • NO x emissions can further be reduced by staged combustion, wherein the burner is provided with less than stoichiometric oxygen for complete combustion.
  • a fuel rich environment results at the burner flame.
  • the fuel rich environment inhibits NO x formation by forcing NO x precursors to compete with uncombusted fuel in an oxygen lean environment.
  • Combustion is then staged by providing excess oxygen to the boiler at a point above the burner wherein the excess fuel combusts at a lower temperature, thus precluding the production of thermal NO x as the combustion occurs at a lower temperature away from the burner flame.
  • Staging also serves to lessen oxygen concentrations during the combustion process which inhibits oxidation of fuel bound nitrogen (fuel NO x ).
  • Oxygen for staged combustion is normally provided in the form of air via air staging ports, commonly called Over Fire Air (OFA) ports, in a system utilizing low NO x burners.
  • OFA Over Fire Air
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,697,306 to LaRue and U.S. Patent No. 5,199,355 to LaRue , herein incorporated by reference, disclose low NO x burners that may be combined with air staged combustion methods to further reduce NO x emissions.
  • low NO x burners tend to form long flames and produce higher levels of unburned combustibles.
  • Long flames are not always desirable as they may be incompatible with furnace depth or height, and can impair boiler operation by causing flame impingement, slagging, and/or boiler tube corrosion.
  • the present invention solves the aforementioned problems associated with delayed combustion produced by typical low NO x burners and introduces a new burner apparatus and method of combusting fossil fuels to further reduce NO x emissions in commercial and utility boilers.
  • a burner according to the present invention is suitable for firing pulverized coal (PC) or gaseous hydrocarbons.
  • the present invention comprises an axial zone concentrically surrounded by a first annular zone.
  • the first annular zone provides fuel to the burner at a predetermined velocity so as to create a fuel jet exiting the burner and subsequently forming a burner flame via combustion in the presence of oxygen.
  • the axial zone produces a center air jet piercing the burner flame along its internal axis.
  • the center air jet provides oxygen along the center axis of the burner flame, allowing the flame to combust from the inside out, while maintaining an overall fuel rich environment in the flame root thereby suppressing NO x formation.
  • Additional oxygen supplied by second and third annular zones concentrically surrounding the first annular zone further reduces NO x formation while providing a means for accelerating combustion.
  • Flow conditioning devices of the second and third annular zones aerodynamically suppress fuel jet expansion. Within this aerodynamic suppression, swirl from the air exiting the second and third annular zones creates an internal recirculation zone along the outer boundary of the flame zone which inhibits NO x formation.
  • the internal recirculation zone causes NO x formed along the outer air-rich periphery of the flame to recirculate back into the fuel rich flame core.
  • the hotter flame temperature resulting from the inside out combustion of the center air jet, cause uncombusted hydrocarbon radicals to scavenge available oxygen within the IRZ, thereby suppressing the formation of NO x , and reducing NO back to other nitrogenous species.
  • a wider, shorter flame envelope results as flame temperature increases due to the accelerated combustion of fuel from the inside out and outside in within the IRZ.
  • Another aspect of the present invention can be considered a method of reducing NO x emissions in a center air jet burner comprising, providing a burner having an axial zone concentrically surrounded by a first annular zone, providing the axial zone with a first gas comprising oxygen, wherein the first gas exits the axial zone at a velocity between about 5000 ft/min and about 10,000 ft/min, providing the first annular zone with a carrier gas comprising a pulverized coal, wherein the carrier gas exits the axial zone at a velocity between about 3000 ft/min and about 5000 ft/min.
  • Yet another aspect of the present invention can be considered a method of reducing NO x emissions in a center air jet burner comprising, providing a four zone burner, wherein the innermost zone is an axial zone concentrically surrounded by a first annular zone, which in turn is concentrically surrounded by a second annular zone, which in turn is concentrically surrounded by a third annular zone, providing the axial zone with a first gas comprising oxygen, providing the first annular zone with a carrier gas comprising a pulverized coal, providing the second annular zone with a second gas comprising oxygen, providing the third annular zone with a third gas comprising oxygen, providing the burner with the carrier gas at a velocity greater than about 3000 ft/min, providing the burner with the first gas at a velocity greater than the carrier gas, providing the burner with the second gas at a velocity less than the carrier gas, providing the burner with the third gas at a velocity greater than the carrier gas, combusting the pulverized coal in the carrier gas stream from the inside of the stream
