- a steam generation system comprising heat recovery from exhausted flue gas in a steam generator comprising a heat recovery module in accordance with the first aspect of the invention disposed to heat a downstream process fluid to heat one of: any or the primary air flow, any or the secondary air flow, or both, of the steam generation system.
- the present invention can therefore provide a steam generation system having heat recovery from exhausted flue gas from a steam generator in a steam generating process comprising:

Almost all the thermal power plants operate at high backend temperatures in the summer.
- Steam or water air heaters are installed in most of the existing plants. They are the heat exchangers for pre-heating the air streams before entering gas air heaters.

Furthermore, any elements of an embodiment may be combined with any and all other elements of any other embodiment to describe additional embodiments.
- Figure 1 shows a first scheme A for a heat recovery module for use in a steam generating process.
- the steam generating process includes a steam generator being a boiler 4.
- the boiler 4 may comprise a number of inlets and outlets for the passage of a number of streams, in particular a feedwater stream 2 thereinto, and steam therefrom. The majority of these inlets and outlets and streams are not shown in Figure 1 for clarity purposes.
- the combustion process in the boiler 4 produces exhaust flue gas, which is reduced in temperature within the boiler 4 to produce steam, before exiting the internal economiser in the boiler 4 via a flue gas outlet 13 to a flue gas outlet conduit 14.
- the flue gas outlet conduit 14 passes to a flue gas conduit first junction 16 which comprises a set of proportioning dampers to divide the flue gas in use into a first gas flue path in a first flue gas conduit 18 and a second flue gas path in a second flue gas conduit 20.
- the first flue gas conduit 18 passes its flue gas to a first air heater, being in the first scheme A of Figure 1 a regenerative gas air heater to heat one or more air streams able to pass therethrough.
- the first air heater could be a secondary air pre-heater, such as a regenerative gas secondary air heater 22.
- the heat energy of the flue gas is exchanged with a secondary air stream 24 in a manner known in the art, to provide from suitable outlets a cooler flue gas in a third flue gas conduit 26 (defining a flow path for flue gas from the secondary air heater 22 to a second junction 28), and a hotter secondary air stream 30 which can be passed, directly or indirectly, into the boiler 4 for use in the combustion of the fuel in the boiler 4 in a manner known in the art.
- the first air heater in Figure 1 could provide heat to one or more other air streams represented in Figure 1 by line 24a. This could include one or more primary air streams useable for a coal-fired boiler.
- the first air heater could therefore be a multi-sector air heater to heat both primary air and secondary air.
- the combustion air can by split into primary and secondary air streams at the outlet of airheaters.
- Hot primary air fan can be installed to boost primary air pressure.
- the flue gas in the second flue gas conduit 20 defines a second flow path for flue gas in parallel with the first flue gas conduit 18 from the first junction 16 to one or more process liquid economisers.
- a high pressure (process liquid) economiser 32 followed by an in-line low pressure (process liquid) economiser 34.
- the high pressure and low pressure economisers 32, 34 are able to exchange heat in the flue gas originating from the boiler 4 with one or more process liquids.
- the high pressure economiser 32 is provided with process liquid as a first process liquid stream 36.
- the process liquid of the first process liquid stream 36 may be any suitable liquid available in the steam generating process.
- the process liquid of the first process liquid stream 36 is a slip stream of the main feedwater stream 2 to be subsequently processed by the steam generator of the steam generating process, being the coal-fired boiler 4. This is described in more detail with reference to Figure 2 hereinafter.
- the first process liquid stream 36 is able to extract heat from the flue gas in the second flue gas conduit 20 to provide a hotter first process liquid stream 38 and a cooler flue gas stream 40, which cooler flue gas stream 40 passes via a suitable inlet into the low pressure economiser 34.
- the cooler flue gas stream 40 is able to provide heat to a second process liquid stream 42 passing via a suitable inlet into the low pressure economiser 34, to provide, via suitable outlets, a hotter second process liquid stream 44 and a further cooler flue gas stream which can pass along a fourth flue gas conduit 46 defining a flow path for the flue gas from the low pressure economiser 34 to the second junction 28.
- a feature of the present invention is the suitable control of the division of the flue gas in the flue gas outlet conduit 14 between the first flue gas conduit 18 and the second flue gas conduit 20 to best match the heat capacity of the flue gas in the first and second flue gas paths with the heat capacities of the air flow in the first air heater, being a regenerative gas secondary air heater 22 in the first scheme A of Figure 1 , and the process liquid economisers, being the high pressure and low pressure economisers 32, 34 in the first scheme A of Figure 1 .
- improved cycle efficiency can be achieved by minimizing the exergy losses of the heat transfer process with the minimized LMTD (Log Mean Temperature Difference) for recovering the heat from the exhausted flue gas from the boiler 4.
- a process liquid such as water in process liquid economisers, rather than air in gas-to-air heat exchangers, in the path of at least a portion of the exhausted flue gas from the steam generator provides significant advantages. These include the transport of a process liquid, such as around a circuit, which can be carried out with minimal pressure loss over distance, even using small pipes. Another advantage is by carefully selecting and controlling the water flow, and the temperature differentials in the first air heater and process liquid economiser(s), there can be optimising of the heat exchange to the process liquid (and thus minimize the LMTD).
- the use of feedwater as the process liquid for the process liquid economisers in the first scheme A of Figure 1 improves the efficiency of the use of the heat energy of the flue gas by directly transferring heat to the feedwater and carefully selecting the flow and tap points used to provide the first and second process liquid stream 36, 42 for the slipstream(s) of feedwater used.
- the slip stream economisers can be sized to achieve the minimised backend temperatures based on the fuel sulphur contents when firing low moisture coals in the summer.
- a gas damper may be installed on the bypass gas duct. The bypass gas will be reduced when firing high moisture coals and/or in the winter so that the minimised backend temperatures can be maintained based on the fuel sulphur contents regardless of the fuel moistures and ambient temperatures.
- Low temperature turbine bleed steam or feed water is used to heat the combustion air in the water/steam air heaters.
- One or two slip stream economisers using high and low pressure boiler feed water as cooling media may be arranged.
- the flow and temperature of the cooling or heating media for the slip stream economisers and the water/steam air heaters should be carefully selected to ensure the most effective energy recovery as well as cost effectiveness.
- Boiler efficiency is very sensitive to the backend flue gas temperatures.
- the benefits of the above retrofits are very significant.
- slip stream economisers the amount of turbine bleed steam shall be reduced.
- the negative effect on the turbine heat rate caused by the slip stream economisers is partly compensated by the utilization of water/steam air heaters. In general, the total plant efficiency improvement is still very significant.
- Figure 2 shows the first scheme A of Figure 1 with further detail of a steam generation system using a coal-fired boiler, in particular further detail in the primary air stream and the feedwater stream.
- Coal for the boiler 4 in Figure 2 is supplied as a coal stream 6.
- the coal stream 6 is typically pulverised in one or more pulverisers 8, typically 4-6 pulverisers, so as to be provided to the boiler 4 as a pulverised coal stream 10.
- a primary air stream 12 is provided to the one or more pulverisers 8.
- a first low pressure heat exchanger 50 able to exchange heat between a first heating stream 52 and the primary air stream 12 to provide a hotter primary air stream 12a and a cooler first heating stream 54 via suitable outlets.
- the hotter primary air stream 12a passes into a high pressure primary air heat exchanger 55 to be further heated by a second heating stream 56.
- the high pressure primary air heat exchanger 55 provides through suitable outlets a further heated primary air stream 12b which can be passed to the one or more pulverisers 8, and a cooler second heating stream 58.
- the first and second heating streams 52, 56 could be provided from the same or separate sources, and could be provided as part of the same or separate circuits.
- the first heating stream 52 could be provided from a deaerator discharge stream
- the second heating stream could be provided from a feedwater slip stream, such as after the high pressure feedwater heaters.
- the cooler first and second heating streams 54, 58 could be directly or indirectly provided as at least part of, optionally all of, the first and second process liquid streams 36, 42.
- Figure 2 also shows a more detailed feedwater stream 2, having a first slip stream 60 at a suitable first feedwater junction 62, such as in or part of one of more of the feedwater heaters known in the art.
- the first slip stream 60 could be used to provide directly or indirectly process liquid for the second process liquid stream 42, using any suitable degree of separation, with the remaining feedwater stream 64 following the first feedwater junction 62.
- FIG. 2 shows the return of the hotter second process liquid stream 44 as a first return stream 66 passing into the remaining feedwater stream 64.
- the re-combined feedwater stream 68 may undergo one or more processes such as heating, pressurising, or both, to provide a processed feedwater stream 70, from which a second feedwater slip stream 72 could be provided via a second feedwater junction 74 in the same manner as that described hereinabove for the first feedwater junction 62.
- the second slip stream 72 could be used to provide directly or indirectly process liquid for the first process liquid stream 36, using any suitable degree of separation, with the remaining feedwater stream 76 following the second feedwater junction 74.
- Figure 2 shows the return of the hotter first process liquid stream 38 as a second return stream 78 passing into the remaining feedwater stream 76.
- the recombined feedwater stream 80 can then be passed, either directly or indirectly, into the boiler 4.
- Figure 2 shows suitable arrangements for the provision of the first and second process liquid streams 36, 42 from a feedwater stream 2, as well as a suitable arrangement for the use of first and second heating streams 56, 52 to provide heating to the primary air stream 12, optionally in conjunction with the conduits and circuits used for the process liquid economisers.
- FIG 3 shows the schemes of Figures 1 and 2 in combination with another steam generation system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the flue gas in the fifth flue gas conduit 48 from the second junction 28 passes through an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) 82 and an induction fan 84, followed by passage via a suitable inlet into a downstream process fluid heat exchanger 86 in the path of the fifth conduit 48.
- the downstream process fluid heat exchanger 86 is able to extract any remaining available heat energy from the flue gas with a downstream process fluid in a first process circuit 100.
- the first process circuit 100 comprises a process fluid in at least a first downstream process fluid conduit 102 passing via a suitable inlet into the downstream process fluid heat exchanger 86 to provide, via a suitable outlet, a hotter downstream process fluid stream 104 in a second fluid conduit 104.
- the hotter downstream process fluid stream 104 may be divided by a suitable controller anywhere between 0-100% between a secondary air heating stream 108 and a primary air heating stream 110.
- the secondary air heating stream 108 passes via a suitable inlet into a secondary air preheat exchanger 112 to provide heat exchange with an initial secondary air stream 90, so as to provide some pre-heating to the secondary air prior to the subsequent heating of the secondary air stream 24 by the regenerative gas secondary air heater 22.
- the primary air heating stream 110 can provide some pre-heating to an initial primary air stream 92 (after passage through a primary air fan 94) in a primary air preheat exchanger 114, to provide a primary air stream 12 to be subsequently heated by the first and second air heat exchangers 50, 55 as described above.
- the downstream process fluid of the downstream process fluid circuit 100 may be any suitable liquid, gas or combination of same, usually at low pressure and usually circulated by one or more suitable circulation pumps in the circuit 100.
- the primary and secondary air preheat exchangers 112, 114 provide cooler return streams 116, 118 respectively, which can be recombined to provide the process fluid in the first downstream process fluid conduit 102.
- the downstream process fluid heat exchanger 86 provides a cooler flue gas stream 88.
- the initial primary air stream 92 and secondary air stream 90 can be provided from a single air source stream 94, prior to being divided by a suitable controller.
- the hotter downstream process fluid stream 104 in the second fluid conduit 104 passes through a heat exchanger on the single air source stream 94 to heat the primary air and secondary air prior to their division.
- the downstream process fluid circuit 100 increases the use of the available heat energy in the flue gas to provide some pre-heating of the primary and secondary air streams so as to maximise the efficiency of the steam generation system shown in Figure 3 .
