Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an operating method and an operation control apparatus for a gasification-melting furnace for disposal of such wastes as municipal solid wastes and industrial wastes as well as a method and an apparatus for regulating the basicity of slag discharged from the gasification-melting furnace.
  • This fluidized-bed gasification-melting furnace comprises a fluidized-bed gasification furnace having a fluidized bed formed by a fluidization gas, and a melting furnace disposed downstream therefrom.
  • the aforementioned fluidized-bed gasification furnace produces pyrolysis gases through partial combustion of wastes thrown into the fluidized bed.
  • the aforementioned melting furnace further combusts the pyrolysis gases produced by the fluidized-bed gasification furnace and melts ash contained in the gases, thus producing slag.
  • an auxiliary burner for maintaining temperature in the furnace.
  • This kind of gasification-melting furnace has below-mentioned problems to be solved with respect to operation of the furnace.
  • the slag temperature must be higher than a fluxing point thereof, while the fluxing point has a significant correlation with the slag basicity.
  • the slag basicity exceeding a value of approximately 0.7 involves a rise of the fluxing point of the slag with an increase of the basicity.
  • the basicity of the slag of 1 is known to bring up a fluxing point of the slag to 1200°C.
  • Adjustment of the slag basicity is therefore important for efficient and stable continuous operation of the gasification-melting furnace. Even though the melting furnace is operated to keep an internal temperature thereof generally constant, the actual fluidity of the slag is influenced by changes in the basicity thereof. This means that stable operation is difficult without maintaining the slag basicity within a proper range. Meanwhile, if the in-furnace temperature is set at a higher level in anticipation of changes in the basicity mentioned above, low operating efficiency cannot be avoided. For example, with the slag basicity of 1, the stable discharge of the slug through the slag outlet requires a temperature thereof to be 1200°C or above.
  • the temperature in the melting furnace should be set at 1350°C or above for stable discharge of the slag.
  • Patent Document 2 proposes a measurement of the actual slag basicity by use of analyzing equipment.
  • the method disclosed in this Document includes a step of analyzing the composition of slag actually discharged from a furnace by using a simplified X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and so on, and a step of determining the amount of each basicity adjuster addition based on results of the analysis.
  • This method involves complicated management of operation. Specifically, it requires installment of a specialized analyzer and regular analyzing operation for calculation of the slag basicity. Moreover, the analyzer is generally installed in a dedicated organization far away from a site, which requires transportation of slag samples from a waste disposal plant including the gasification-melting furnace. This causes a considerable time flag from a slag sampling to a determination of the slag basicity.
  • US 4,013,023 discloses ways and means for incinerating organic wastes in a multiple hearth furnace equipped with an afterburner.
  • JP 2004-353944 provides a refuse disposal facility capable of supplying proper quantity of combustion air.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a technology for carrying out highly efficient operation of a gasification-melting furnace by rest of the burner while reliably resuming successful combustion at reignition of the burner.
  • the burner is reignited under the following condition: if the temperature in a melting furnace drops to a certain extent, the burner is reignited followed by.increasing oxygen concentration in gases supplied from a gasification furnace to the melting furnace by stopping charging of waste material; or the burner is reignited during a period when the temperature in the melting furnace remains still rather high.
  • This method prevents the burner reignition under unsuitable conditions (e.g., conditions where spontaneous ignition of unburned gas hardly occurs) in advance to thereby enable the burner to be properly reignited, while carrying out highly efficient operation by rest of the burner.
  • another object was to provide a technology for facilitating a proper basicity adjustment in operation of a gasification-melting furnace, with no need of special analyzer for analysis of slag composition.
  • the inventors undertook an intensive study of the basicity adjustment aforementioned, resulting in discovery of a significant correlation between the calorific value per unit weight of the waste material charged into the gasification-melting furnace and the basicity of slag discharged from the gasification-melting furnace. This correlation can be used to enable the actual basicity of the slag to be quickly and properly determined without a special analyzer or the like.
  • a method for adjusting basicity of slag in operating a gasification-melting furnace which brings waste material charged therein into pyrolysis and melts ash in pyrolysis gases produced by the pyrolysis to produce slag, the gasification-melting furnace having a slag discharging port for discharging the slag.
  • This method comprises: a step of supplying a basicity adjuster for adjusting the basicity of the slag discharged through the slag discharging port to a position upstream therefrom; a step of detecting the weight of the waste material charged into the gasification-melting furnace per unit time; a step of detecting a parameter corresponding to the calorific value of the waste material per unit weight; a step of calculating an expected value of the basicity of the slag produced inside the gasification-melting furnace, based on a detected value of the parameter; and a step of regulating the amount of the basicity adjuster supply so as to make the basicity of the slag apploach a preset target value of the basicity, based on the calculated expected value of the basicity.
  • This method makes use of a correlation between the parameter corresponding to the calorific value of the waste material per unit weight and the actual basicity of the slag, the use allowing the expected value of the actual slag basicity to be obtained without a complicated analysis of the slag composition.
  • the expected value of the basicity can be calculated, based on the detected value of the parameter and the aforementioned correlation. Then, based on the expected value of the basicity of the slag, a proper amount of the basicity adjuster addition is determined.
  • This method can be realized by an apparatus for adjusting the basicity of the slag, the apparatus comprising: a basicity adjuster feeder for supplying a basicity adjuster for adjusting the basicity of the slag discharged through a slag discharging port at a position upstream from the slag discharging port; a waste material charging quantity detector for detecting the weight of waste material charged into the gasification-melting furnace per unit time; a parameter detector for detecting a parameter corresponding to the calorific value of the waste material per unit weight; an expected basicity value calculator for calculating an expected value of the basicity of the slag produced inside the gasification-melting furnace based on a detected value of the parameter, and a basicity adjuster quantity regulator for regulating the amount of the basicity adjuster supply so as to make the basicity of the slag apploach a preset target value of the basicity, based on the expected value of the basicity.

  • Performed in this melting furnace 4 is a high-temperature combustion process at about 1300°C with a spiral flow produced therein. This high-temperature combustion generates heat, which melts ash contained in the pyrolysis gases to separate the ash as slag from the pyrolysis gases while decomposing hazardous substances like dioxins contained in the gases.
  • the molten slag is drawn out from the bottom of the melting furnace. 4, carried out by a slag removing unit 7 including a conveyer, cooled in a slag cooling unit 8 provided therebelow, and then collected.

From the wind box 24 is ejected fluidization gas for example upward through the gas injection orifices 22 in the dispersion plate 20, thus forming a fluidized bed 26 of sand particles above the dispersion plate 20.
  • the middle of the dispersion plate 20 is provided with a noncombustible material outlet 28, through which the noncombustible material is withdrawn to be led to the screw conveyer 5 and the vibrating screen 6.

  • This kind of operation can also prevent excessive cooling of the interior of the melting furnace 4 in advance and assure a high degree of safety of burner reignition, by reigniting the burner 40 during the in-furnace temperature drops little after temporary shutdown of the burner 40.
  • This operation may be performed in combination with the operation shown in FIG. 4 , that is, the operation of stopping the refuse charge to increase the oxygen concentration in the gases at the output port of the gasification furnace, for providing a fail-safe feature in case the burner 40 is not shut down even when the burner reignition command signal is output in step S12 or it becomes impossible to output this signal.
  • the operation control process shown in FIG. 4 includes determining the burner reignition timing based on the oxygen concentration in the gas after stopping the refuse charging operation; however, as a parameter directly affecting the oxygen concentration may be monitored a cumulative value of the amount of air supplied to an side upstream from the melting furnace 4 after stoppage of the refuse charging operation, to determine the burner reignition timing based on this cumulative value.

  • FIG. 7 shows operation up to a point,of outputting the refuse charging stop command signal (steps S1-S5) which is equal to the operation performed in the control process shown in FIG. 4 .
