Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a steam generator with a boiler fired with brown coal, with at least one mill for grinding the brown coal.
- a known principle of direct dust injection by means of a pulverized coal drying plant is, for example, in Publication of Helmut Effenberger, "Steam Generation", Springer-Verlag, ISBN 3-540-64175-0 , described.
- flue gas sucked back is used as the drying gas, which is referred to in the sense of the present application as a drying flue gas stream.
- the mill is connected to the end of the combustion chamber via a flue gas recirculation, where the drying flue gas stream required for drying the raw lignite is extracted at a temperature between approx. 800 ° C and approx. 1200 ° C.
- a method of the type mentioned at the outset is known from, for example DE 42 03 713 C2 C2 or from the DE 43 23 469 A1 known.
- the method comprises the grinding of humidified brown coal in at least one mill, to which a drying flue gas stream is applied, which is branched off from the boiler behind the convection draft and which is introduced into the mill at a temperature of approximately 350.degree.
- the lignite is crushed to the grain belt required for combustion in the boiler and at the same time dried in the inert flue gas atmosphere.
- Part of the drying flue gas flow is used as a carrier gas for the transport of the dried fuel to the burners of the boiler.
- Another variant of the drying of lignite which has a favorable effect in terms of an increase in efficiency, is the drying of lignite in a separate drying unit in the form of a fluidized bed dryer.
- a separate drying unit in the form of a fluidized bed dryer.
- drying the lignite before firing it in the steam generator of a power plant can achieve a significant increase in efficiency.
- the pit-moist brown coal has a water content of 45% to 65%, which is reduced to 10% to 25% by drying.
- the dry lignite from the fluidized bed drying usually has a maximum water content of 25 percent by mass and an average grain diameter D50 of 0.4 to 0.8 mm, so that it can be fed into the boiler immediately, if necessary without re-grinding, and burned there.
- TLK dry lignite
- the known dust-fired lignite boilers are mainly designed for the burning of raw lignite, i.e.
- the dry lignite in the steam generators of the applicant has been co-burned as an additional fuel to increase the efficiency.
- Co-combustion of around 25% dry lignite from a separate drying unit based on the calorific value of the fuel mixture has proven to be favorable.
- the dry lignite can be introduced into the steam generator, for example, by means of so-called swirl burners, as are also used in hard coal firing.
- Dry lignite is a comparatively inexpensive starting and support fuel for coal-fired steam generators.
- the swirl burners described above with regard to their disadvantages are common, since they ensure a stable flame and good burnout even when the firebox is still cold.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for co-combustion of dry lignite in raw lignite-fired steam generators, which takes into account the aforementioned problem.
- the object is achieved by a method according to claim 1.
- dry brown coal is understood to mean ready-dried brown coal which is converted from the mine-moist, mined product to a dried finished product with a moisture content of 10 to 30% by mass, preferably between 10 and 25% by mass, and an average grain diameter D50 of 0.4 to 10 mm was produced in a drying unit.
- Mine-moist raw lignite is to be understood as the unprepared broken and possibly pre-shredded mined raw lignite, which has a moisture content of between 45 and 65 percent by mass.
- Milled-dried raw lignite is understood to mean the raw lignite ground in a mill with simultaneous drying to a ready-to-burn product, of which about 85 to 95 percent by mass has a grain size of less than 1 mm.
- a burner allocation in the sense of the invention is understood to mean a fuel supply line from the mill to an individual burner, a burner group or a burner level.
- the burner allocation ends where the fuel is ignited by supplying combustion air.
- Burner allocation can include classifiers and distributors.
- the method according to the invention can be summarized to the extent that dry lignite is also burned in the boiler of the steam generator in addition to meal-dried raw lignite, the dry lignite being fed into the carrier gas / fuel mixture from the mill before being allocated or in the allocation to the individual coal burners.
- the dry lignite is not burned via separate swirl burners in the boiler, but the dry lignite is added to the flue gas-lignite stream of the mill before the boiler.
- Carrying gas in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a mixture of flue gas, evaporated water and combustion air.
- dry lignite can be diverted from start-up burners of the steam generator to the first mill operated with raw lignite via a switching device as soon as start-up and auxiliary firing is no longer required.
- the raw lignite is expediently ground in an atmosphere inertized with the drying flue gas stream.
- Inerted in the sense of the invention means that the oxygen content in the flue gas drying stream is set to an oxygen content of ⁇ 12% by volume.
- the dry lignite is fed from the separate drying unit into the first mill and there is subjected to post-grinding with the raw lignite.
- the dry lignite is then dried and shredded in an inert atmosphere.
- This has the procedural advantage that it is not absolutely necessary to inspect and / or regrind the dry lignite behind the drying unit. This eliminates the influence of fluctuating moisture content in the dry brown coal. In general, fluctuations in moisture, bulk density and grain size of the dry lignite are not critical due to the additional mill drying in a mixture with the raw lignite. This also makes it possible to operate a connected drying unit with optimized performance.
- the method according to the invention is favorable with regard to the NOx concentration in the flue gas, since the addition of dry lignite to the flue gas lignite stream results in a concentration of the dust content in the burners, so that the carrying gas content in the burners is reduced. As a result, this leads to a lower NOx concentration in the flue gas / exhaust gas than with a conventional furnace, in which the amount of carrier gas is generally higher.
- Another advantage is that the controllability of the furnace is improved. If the amount of raw brown coal increases, the first mill only reacts with a longer dead time because the mill has to be moved to a different operating point for the higher amount of coal, or an additional mill has to be put into operation. In contrast, an increase in the amount of dry lignite in a comparatively short time makes a higher amount of fuel available. This improves the control ability of the entire steam generator system.
- At least one indirectly heated dryer is preferably provided as a separate drying unit. This can be a fluidized bed dryer, for example.
- a second mill is used as a separate drying unit, in which drying is carried out in an atmosphere rendered inert by a drying flue gas stream.
- a drying unit can be used as a separate drying unit in which the lignite is subjected to direct drying in direct contact with flue gas.
- the dried brown coal from the second mill is fed as dry brown coal into the flue gas brown coal stream of the first mill in a burner allocation. It can be provided, for example, that the dried lignite from the second mill is fed entirely as dry lignite into the flue gas lignite stream of the first mill, so that the second mill does not directly feed the boiler with a flue gas lignite stream.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the boiler is fired with tangential firing with jet burners, to which the flue gas lignite stream is allocated. Jet burners are much less susceptible to malfunctions than omnidirectional or swirl burners. Jet burners are also significantly simpler in terms of design. These are based on the principle that the fuel / carrier gas duct is essentially designed as a rectangular duct, which is surrounded by corresponding secondary air ducts. A swirling and swirling of the flue gas / fuel flow or the secondary air flow with corresponding internally acting installations is not necessary.
- the dry lignite is fed from the separate drying unit into a carrier gas recirculation line of the first mill.
- Carrier gas recirculation lines are usually used to control the power of the mill, in that part of the carrier gas is optionally branched off behind the mill and is recirculated through the mill.
- the dry brown coal can be fed into a solid return of a mill classifier. Even such a procedure requires hardly any design adjustments to existing mills.
- the dry lignite is introduced into an inlet area of the first mill with at least one screw conveyor.
- dry lignite can be blown into the first mill with inert gas, for example low-pressure water vapor, or, for example, dry lignite mixed with recirculated carrier gas as the conveying medium. It is expedient to inject dry lignite in such a way that the dry lignite is rapidly mixed with the raw lignite.
- inert gas for example low-pressure water vapor
- dry lignite mixed with recirculated carrier gas as the conveying medium. It is expedient to inject dry lignite in such a way that the dry lignite is rapidly mixed with the raw lignite.
- the entry point for the dry brown coal is provided after the first mill in the burner allocation.
- a mixture of ground-dried raw lignite and dry lignite is to be fed approximately evenly into all the burners of the boiler, it is advantageous to feed the dry lignite into the flue gas lignite stream immediately behind the first mill.
- the dry lignite viewed in the direction of flow of the flue gas lignite stream, is added behind the first mill and behind a branch of the flue gas lignite stream to a post-reaction burner or vapor burner, the flue gas lignite stream for the main burners. This results in a concentration of the fuel at the lower burners (main burner), so that low-NOx combustion can be achieved.
- beater wheel mills can be used as mills, in which the impact material is impacted in a known manner. So-called wet fan mills or fan beater mills can also be used.
- the dry lignite can be added, for example, in the propeller part of the mill.
- the indirect drying of the lignite is carried out in at least one fluidized bed dryer.
- the energy of the vapor produced during indirect drying is expediently used at least in part for preheating the combustion air and / or the boiler feed water.
- the amount of dry brown coal fed in is regulated as a function of the load of the steam generator.
- the amount of dry lignite fed in can be increased at short notice. Since this dry lignite may not have to go through the mill-drying cycle of the first mill, it is relatively easy to control the output of the steam generator in this way.
- the figure is not an embodiment of the invention.
- the process flow diagram shown in the figure shows a boiler 1 with a combustion chamber 2 and a convection part 3.
- the convection part 3 comprises, in a known manner, heating surfaces by means of which convective heat transfer into the heating medium takes place.
- Dried dusty lignite is burned within the combustion chamber 2 by means of dust burners which are designed as jet burners.
- the radiant heat is transferred to the heating medium circulating in the steam cycle of the boiler 1.
- the water vapor generated by the boiler 1 can be expanded in a steam turbine for the purpose of generating electrical energy, alternatively the steam can also be used as process heat in other coupled processes.
- the fuel in the form of dry lignite and raw lignite is ground in a beater wheel mill 5 and distributed to several jet burners via a burner allocation 6.
- the impact wheel mill 5 is fed on the one hand with pit-moist raw lignite 7 and on the other hand with dry lignite 8 from a drying unit (not shown).
- the dry lignite 8 is added, for example, to an inert gas recirculation line.
- a flue gas lignite stream 10 is delivered from the beater wheel mill 5 to the burner allocation 6, behind which the combustion air 11 is added to the flue gas lignite stream 10.
- the combustion air 11 is taken from the atmosphere and preheated via a combustion air preheater 12.
- the combustion air preheater 12 is operated with the flue gas stream 13 from the convection part 3 of the boiler 1. Part of the combustion air 11 is added to the drying flue gas stream 9 in front of the beater wheel mill 5, another part is added to the boiler 1 as burnout air 14.
- the raw lignite 7 is re-ground together with the dry lignite 8 and then dried and thoroughly mixed.
- the flue gas lignite stream 10 (carrier gas stream) leaving the beater wheel mill 5 comprises, for example, approximately 15% to 35%, preferably approximately 20% to 25% dry lignite 8 based on the calorific value of the entire fuel used under full load of the boiler.
- the dry lignite 8 is added to the flue gas lignite stream 10 behind the beater wheel mill 5, but before the end of the burner allocation 6.
- the combustion air 11 is preheated in the combustion air preheater 12 by means of the flue gas stream 13.
- the invention is to be understood in such a way that, instead of a combustion air preheater 12 with flue gas, a combustion air preheater is used which is operated with low-temperature heat from the drying of the dry lignite.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Dampferzeugers mit einem mit Braunkohle befeuerten Kessel, mit wenigstens einer Mühle zur Aufmahlung der Braunkohle.The invention relates to a method for operating a steam generator with a boiler fired with brown coal, with at least one mill for grinding the brown coal.

Ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der
Eine weitere Variante der Trocknung von Braunkohle, die sich im Hinblick auf eine Wirkungsgradsteigerung günstig auswirkt, ist die Trocknung von Braunkohle in einem separaten Trocknungsaggregat in Form eines Wirbelschichttrockners. Ein solches Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der
Aus der
Weitere bekannte Verfahren zur Trocknung von Braunkohle unter Verwendung von Wirbelschichttrocknern sind beispielsweise in den Veröffentlichungen
Die Trockenbraunkohle aus der Wirbelschichttrocknung hat üblicherweise einen maximalen Wassergehalt von 25 Masseprozent und einen mittleren Korndurchmesser D50 von 0,4 bis 0,8 mm, so dass diese unmittelbar, gegebenenfalls ohne Nachmahlung in den Kessel eingetragen und dort verfeuert werden kann.The dry lignite from the fluidized bed drying usually has a maximum water content of 25 percent by mass and an average grain diameter D50 of 0.4 to 0.8 mm, so that it can be fed into the boiler immediately, if necessary without re-grinding, and burned there.
Die Verbrennungstemperatur von vorgetrockneter Braunkohle, die im folgenden als Trockenbraunkohle (TBK) bezeichnet wird, liegt ca. 500°C über der von Rohbraunkohle.The combustion temperature of pre-dried lignite, which is referred to below as dry lignite (TBK), is approx. 500 ° C higher than that of raw lignite.
Da die bekannten staubgefeuerten Braunkohlekessel überwiegend für die Verfeuerung von Rohbraunkohle ausgelegt sind, d.h. für die Verfeuerung von Rohbraunkohle, die einer Mahltrocknung unterzogen wurde, wurde die Trockenbraunkohle in den Dampferzeugern der Anmelderin bislang als Zusatzbrennstoff zur Steigerung des Wirkungsgrades mitverbrannt. Als günstig hat sich die Mitverbrennung etwa eines Anteils von 25 % Trockenbraunkohle aus einem separaten Trocknungsaggregat bezogen auf den Heizwert des Brennstoffgemisches erwiesen.Since the known dust-fired lignite boilers are mainly designed for the burning of raw lignite, i.e. For the firing of raw lignite which has been subjected to mill drying, the dry lignite in the steam generators of the applicant has been co-burned as an additional fuel to increase the efficiency. Co-combustion of around 25% dry lignite from a separate drying unit based on the calorific value of the fuel mixture has proven to be favorable.
Die Trockenbraunkohle kann beispielsweise über sogenannte Drallbrenner, wie sie auch bei der Steinkohlefeuerung Anwendung finden, in den Dampferzeuger eingebracht werden.The dry lignite can be introduced into the steam generator, for example, by means of so-called swirl burners, as are also used in hard coal firing.
Praktische Versuche und Feuerraumsimulationen bei der Mitverbrennung von Trockenbraunkohle in rohbraunkohlegefeuerten Dampferzeugern haben jedoch gezeigt, dass im Bereich der Trockenbraunkohle-Brenner bzw. Drall-Brenner verhältnismäßig hohe Temperaturspitzen im Kessel auftreten, die zu Ascheerweichung oder Ascheschmelzvorgängen und damit zu Verschlackungen führen können. Das wiederum reduziert die Verfügbarkeit des Dampferzeugers.Practical tests and combustion chamber simulations in the co-combustion of dry lignite in raw lignite-fired steam generators have shown, however, that in the area of dry lignite burners or swirl burners, relatively high temperature peaks occur in the boiler, which can lead to ash softening or ash melting processes and thus to slagging. This in turn reduces the availability of the steam generator.
Gerade deshalb sollten auch Drallbrenner nicht zu groß gebaut werden. Drallbrenner sind hinsichtlich ihrer Baugröße begrenzt. Im allgemeinen wird eine thermische Leistung von 60MW als technisch machbar angesehen wird. Bei großen Braunkohlekesseln mit Trockenbraunkohle-Zusatzfeuerung erfordert dies eine entsprechend hohe Anzahl an Drallbrennern. Dies führt in der Folge zu hohen Investitionskosten.This is precisely why swirl burners should not be built too large. Swirl burners are limited in their size. In general, 60MW thermal power is considered technically feasible. In the case of large brown coal boilers with additional dry brown coal, this requires a correspondingly high number of swirl burners. As a result, this leads to high investment costs.
Trockenbraunkohle ist ein vergleichsweise kostengünstiger Anfahr- und Stützbrennstoff für kohlegefeuerte Dampferzeuger. Hierbei sind die zuvor hinsichtlich ihrer Nachteile beschriebenen Drallbrenner gebräuchlich, da sie auch bei noch kalten Feuerräumen eine stabile Flamme und einen guten Ausbrand sicherstellen.Dry lignite is a comparatively inexpensive starting and support fuel for coal-fired steam generators. Here, the swirl burners described above with regard to their disadvantages are common, since they ensure a stable flame and good burnout even when the firebox is still cold.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Mitverbrennung von Trockenbraunkohle in rohbraunkohlengefeuerten Dampferzeugern bereitzustellen, welches dem zuvor erwähnten Problem Rechnung trägt.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for co-combustion of dry lignite in raw lignite-fired steam generators, which takes into account the aforementioned problem.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1.The object is achieved by a method according to
Unter Trockenbraunkohle im Sinne der Erfindung ist fertig getrocknete Braunkohle zu verstehen, die von dem grubenfeuchten bergmännisch gewonnenen Erzeugnis zum einem getrockneten Fertigprodukt mit einem Feuchtigkeitsgehalt von 10 bis 30 Masseprozent, vorzugsweise zwischen 10 und 25 Masseprozent, und einem mittleren Korndurchmesser D50 von 0,4 bis 10 mm in einem Trocknungsaggregat hergestellt wurde.In the context of the invention, dry brown coal is understood to mean ready-dried brown coal which is converted from the mine-moist, mined product to a dried finished product with a moisture content of 10 to 30% by mass, preferably between 10 and 25% by mass, and an average grain diameter D50 of 0.4 to 10 mm was produced in a drying unit.
Unter grubenfeuchter Rohbraunkohle ist die nicht aufbereitete gebrochene und gegebenenfalls vorzerkleinerte bergmännisch gewonnene Rohbraunkohle zu verstehen, die einen Feuchtigkeitsgehalt von zwischen 45 und 65 Masseprozent aufweist.Mine-moist raw lignite is to be understood as the unprepared broken and possibly pre-shredded mined raw lignite, which has a moisture content of between 45 and 65 percent by mass.
Unter mahlgetrockneter Rohbraunkohle ist die in einer Mühle unter gleichzeitiger Trocknung zu einem brennerfertigen Erzeugnis aufgemahlene Rohbraunkohle zu verstehen, von der etwa 85 bis 95 Masseprozent eine Korngröße von kleiner 1 mm aufweist.Milled-dried raw lignite is understood to mean the raw lignite ground in a mill with simultaneous drying to a ready-to-burn product, of which about 85 to 95 percent by mass has a grain size of less than 1 mm.
Unter einer Brennerzuteilung im Sinne der Erfindung ist eine Brennstoffversorgungsleitung von der Mühle an einen einzelnen Brenner, eine Brennergruppe oder eine Brennerebene zu verstehen. Die Brennerzuteilung endet dort, wo durch Zuführen von Verbrennungsluft der Brennstoff angezündet wird. Die Brennerzuteilung kann Sichter und Verteileinrichtungen umfassen.A burner allocation in the sense of the invention is understood to mean a fuel supply line from the mill to an individual burner, a burner group or a burner level. The burner allocation ends where the fuel is ignited by supplying combustion air. Burner allocation can include classifiers and distributors.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann dahingehend zusammengefasst werden, dass in dem Kessel des Dampferzeugers neben mahlgetrockneter Rohbraunkohle Trockenbraunkohle mitverbrannt wird, wobei die Trockenbraunkohle dem Traggas/Brennstoffgemisch aus der Mühle vor der Zuteilung oder in die Zuteilung an die einzelnen Kohlebrenner aufgegeben wird. Anders als bei einer bisher praktizierten Verfahrensvariante wird die Trockenbraunkohle nicht über separate Drallbrenner in dem Kessel verfeuert, sondern die Trockenbraunkohle wird bereits vor dem Kessel dem Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom der Mühle zugegeben. Unter Traggas im Sinne der Erfindung ist eine Mischung aus Rauchgas, verdampften Wasser und Verbrennungsluft zu verstehen.The method according to the invention can be summarized to the extent that dry lignite is also burned in the boiler of the steam generator in addition to meal-dried raw lignite, the dry lignite being fed into the carrier gas / fuel mixture from the mill before being allocated or in the allocation to the individual coal burners. In contrast to a previously practiced process variant, the dry lignite is not burned via separate swirl burners in the boiler, but the dry lignite is added to the flue gas-lignite stream of the mill before the boiler. Carrying gas in the sense of the invention is to be understood as a mixture of flue gas, evaporated water and combustion air.
Bei dem vorgeschlagenen Verfahren kann über eine Umschalteinrichtung Trockenbraunkohle von Anfahrbrennern des Dampferzeugers auf die mit Rohbraunkohle betriebene erste Mühle umgeleitet werden, sobald eine Anfahr- und Stützfeuerung nicht mehr benötigt wird.In the proposed method, dry lignite can be diverted from start-up burners of the steam generator to the first mill operated with raw lignite via a switching device as soon as start-up and auxiliary firing is no longer required.
Durch Feuerraumsimulationsrechnungen konnte die Anmelderin herausfinden, dass mit einer solchen Maßnahme überraschenderweise Temperaturspitzen innerhalb des Kessels im Bereich der Brenner vermieden werden können.Using fire chamber simulation calculations, the applicant was able to find out that, with such a measure, temperature peaks within the boiler in the area of the burners can surprisingly be avoided.
Zweckmäßigerweise erfolgt das Mahlen der Rohbraunkohle in mit dem Trocknungs-Rauchgasstrom inertisierter Atmosphäre. Inertisiert im Sinne der Erfindung bedeutet, dass der Sauerstoffanteil im Rauchgas-Trocknungsstrom auf einen Sauerstoffanteil von < 12 Vol-% eingestellt wird.The raw lignite is expediently ground in an atmosphere inertized with the drying flue gas stream. Inerted in the sense of the invention means that the oxygen content in the flue gas drying stream is set to an oxygen content of <12% by volume.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trockenbraunkohle aus dem separaten Trocknungsaggregat in die erste Mühle eingespeist wird und dort mit der Rohbraunkohle einer Nachmahlung unterzogen wird. Dabei wird die Trockenbraunkohle in inertisierter Atmosphäre nachgetrocknet und nachzerkleinert. Das hat den verfahrenstechnischen Vorteil, dass eine Nachsichtung und/oder Nachmahlung der Trockenbraunkohle hinter dem Trocknungsaggregat nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist. Der Einfluss eines schwankenden Feuchtigkeitsgehalts der Trockenbraunkohle wird hierdurch eliminiert. Ganz allgemein sind Feuchte-, Schüttdichte- und Körnungsschwankungen der Trockenbraunkohle aufgrund der zusätzlichen Mahltrocknung in Mischung mit der Rohbraunkohle unkritisch. Dadurch ist es auch möglich, ein angeschlossenes Trocknungsaggregat leistungsoptimiert zu betreiben. Schließlich hat sich auch herausgestellt, dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hinsichtlich der NOx-Konzentration im Rauchgas günstig ist, da durch die Zugabe von Trockenbraunkohle in den Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom eine Aufkonzentration des Staubanteils an den Brennern stattfindet, so dass der Traggasanteil an den Brennern reduziert wird. Im Ergebnis führt das zu einer geringeren NOx-Konzentration im Rauchgas/Abgas als bei einer konventionellen Feuerung, bei der die brennstoffbezogene Traggasmenge in der Regel höher ist.It can be provided that the dry lignite is fed from the separate drying unit into the first mill and there is subjected to post-grinding with the raw lignite. The dry lignite is then dried and shredded in an inert atmosphere. This has the procedural advantage that it is not absolutely necessary to inspect and / or regrind the dry lignite behind the drying unit. This eliminates the influence of fluctuating moisture content in the dry brown coal. In general, fluctuations in moisture, bulk density and grain size of the dry lignite are not critical due to the additional mill drying in a mixture with the raw lignite. This also makes it possible to operate a connected drying unit with optimized performance. Finally, it has also been found that the method according to the invention is favorable with regard to the NOx concentration in the flue gas, since the addition of dry lignite to the flue gas lignite stream results in a concentration of the dust content in the burners, so that the carrying gas content in the burners is reduced. As a result, this leads to a lower NOx concentration in the flue gas / exhaust gas than with a conventional furnace, in which the amount of carrier gas is generally higher.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Regelfähigkeit der Feuerung verbessert wird. Bei einer Erhöhung der Rohbraunkohlemenge reagiert die erste Mühle nur mit einer längeren Totzeit, weil die Mühle für die höhere Kohlemenge auf einen anderen Betriebspunkt verfahren werden muss, oder eine zusätzliche Mühle in Betrieb genommen werden muss. Dagegen steht durch eine Erhöhung der Trockenbraunkohlemenge in vergleichsweise kurzer Zeit eine höhere Brennstoffmenge zur Verfügung. Dies verbessert die Regelfähigkeit der gesamten Dampferzeugeranlage.Another advantage is that the controllability of the furnace is improved. If the amount of raw brown coal increases, the first mill only reacts with a longer dead time because the mill has to be moved to a different operating point for the higher amount of coal, or an additional mill has to be put into operation. In contrast, an increase in the amount of dry lignite in a comparatively short time makes a higher amount of fuel available. This improves the control ability of the entire steam generator system.
Vorzugsweise ist als separates Trocknungsaggregat wenigstens ein indirekt beheizter Trockner vorgesehen. Dies kann beispielsweise ein Wirbelschichttrockner sein.At least one indirectly heated dryer is preferably provided as a separate drying unit. This can be a fluidized bed dryer, for example.
Bei einer alternativen Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass als separates Trocknungsaggregat eine zweite Mühle Anwendung findet, in der eine Trocknung in einer durch einen Trocknungs-Rauchgasstrom inertisierten Atmosphäre durchgeführt wird. Mit anderen Worten, als separates Trocknungsaggregat kann ein Trocknungsaggregat Anwendung finden, in dem die Braunkohle in direktem Kontakt mit Rauchgas einer direkten Trocknung unterzogen wird.In an alternative variant of the method according to the invention it is provided that a second mill is used as a separate drying unit, in which drying is carried out in an atmosphere rendered inert by a drying flue gas stream. In other words, a drying unit can be used as a separate drying unit in which the lignite is subjected to direct drying in direct contact with flue gas.
In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die getrocknete Braunkohle aus der zweiten Mühle als Trockenbraunkohle in den Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom der ersten Mühle in eine Brennerzuteilung eingespeist wird. Dabei kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass die getrocknete Braunkohle aus der zweiten Mühle vollständig als Trockenbraunkohle in den Rauchgasbraunkohlenstrom der ersten Mühle eingespeist wird, so dass die zweite Mühle nicht in üblicher Art und Weise unmitelbar den Kessel mit einem Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom beschickt.In this case, it is advantageous if the dried brown coal from the second mill is fed as dry brown coal into the flue gas brown coal stream of the first mill in a burner allocation. It can be provided, for example, that the dried lignite from the second mill is fed entirely as dry lignite into the flue gas lignite stream of the first mill, so that the second mill does not directly feed the boiler with a flue gas lignite stream.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass der Kessel mit einer Tangentialfeuerung mit Strahlbrennern befeuert wird, welchen der Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom zugeteilt wird. Strahlbrenner sind im Betrieb wesentlich störungsunanfälliger als Rundstrahlbrenner oder Drallbrenner. Strahlbrenner sind darüber hinaus auch konstruktiv wesentlich einfacher. Diese beruhen auf dem Prinzip, dass der Brennstoff-/Traggaskanal im Wesentlichen als rechteckiger Schacht ausgebildet ist, der jeweils von entsprechenden Sekundärluftkanälen umschlossen ist. Eine Verwirbelung und Verdrallung des Rauchgas/Brennstoffstroms oder des Sekundärluftstroms mit entsprechenden strömungsdynamisch wirkenden Einbauten ist nicht erforderlich.The method according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the boiler is fired with tangential firing with jet burners, to which the flue gas lignite stream is allocated. Jet burners are much less susceptible to malfunctions than omnidirectional or swirl burners. Jet burners are also significantly simpler in terms of design. These are based on the principle that the fuel / carrier gas duct is essentially designed as a rectangular duct, which is surrounded by corresponding secondary air ducts. A swirling and swirling of the flue gas / fuel flow or the secondary air flow with corresponding internally acting installations is not necessary.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Trockenbraunkohle aus dem separaten Trocknungsaggregat in eine Traggasrezirkulationsleitung der ersten Mühle eingespeist wird. Hierdurch ist es möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren im Wesentlichen ohne konstruktive Anpassung bestehender Mühlen durchzuführen. Traggasrezirkulationsleitungen werden üblicherweise zur Leistungssteuerung der Mühle verwendet, indem ein Teil des Traggases gegebenenfalls hinter der Mühle abgezweigt und durch die Mühle rezirkuliert wird.In a particularly advantageous variant of the method according to the invention, it is provided that the dry lignite is fed from the separate drying unit into a carrier gas recirculation line of the first mill. This makes it possible to carry out the method according to the invention essentially without constructively adapting existing mills. Carrier gas recirculation lines are usually used to control the power of the mill, in that part of the carrier gas is optionally branched off behind the mill and is recirculated through the mill.
Wenn als erste Mühle eine Sichtermühle Anwendung findet, kann die Trockenbraunkohle in einen Feststoffrücklauf eines Mühlensichters eingespeist werden. Auch eine solche Verfahrensweise erfordert kaum konstruktive Anpassungen vorhandener Mühlen.If a classifier mill is used as the first mill, the dry brown coal can be fed into a solid return of a mill classifier. Even such a procedure requires hardly any design adjustments to existing mills.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trockenbraunkohle mit wenigstens einem Schneckenförderer in einen Einlaufbereich der ersten Mühle eingetragen wird.In a further advantageous variant of the method according to the invention, it can be provided that the dry lignite is introduced into an inlet area of the first mill with at least one screw conveyor.
Alternativ kann ein Einblasen von Trockenbraunkohle in die erste Mühle mit Inertgas, beispielsweise Niederdruckwasserdampf, oder beispielsweise von Trockenbraunkohle in Mischung mit rezirkuliertem Traggas als Fördermedium erfolgen. Zweckmäßigerweise erfolgt ein Einblasen von Trockenbraunkohle so, dass eine schnelle Vermischung der Trockenbraunkohle mit der Rohbraunkohle erfolgt.Alternatively, dry lignite can be blown into the first mill with inert gas, for example low-pressure water vapor, or, for example, dry lignite mixed with recirculated carrier gas as the conveying medium. It is expedient to inject dry lignite in such a way that the dry lignite is rapidly mixed with the raw lignite.
Weiterhin ist es auch möglich, die Trockenbraunkohle mittels eines Abscheiders von dem Fördermedium zu trennen, wenn als Fördermedium Druckluft verwendet wird, so dass die Trockenbraunkohle ohne Luft in die Mühle eingetragen wird, beispielsweise über eine Zellenradschleuse.Furthermore, it is also possible to separate the dry lignite from the conveying medium by means of a separator if compressed air is used as the conveying medium, so that the dry lignite is introduced into the mill without air, for example via a cellular wheel sluice.
Schließlich kann wegen einer Entzündungsneigung von Trockenbraunkohle vorgesehen sein, die Trockenbraunkohle an einer möglichst kalten Stelle der Mühle zuzuführen.Finally, because of the tendency of dry lignite to ignite, provision can be made for the dry lignite to be fed to the mill as cold as possible.
Die Eintragstelle für die Trockenbraunkohle ist nach der ersten Mühle in der Brennerzuteilung vorgesehen.The entry point for the dry brown coal is provided after the first mill in the burner allocation.
Wenn ein Gemisch aus mahlgetrockneter Rohbraunkohle und Trockenbraunkohle in etwa gleichmäßig allen Brennern des Kessel aufgegebenen werden soll, ist es vorteilhaft, die Trockenbraunkohle in den Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom unmittelbar hinter der ersten Mühle einzuspeisen. Grundsätzlich kann es allerdings auch wünschenswert sein, an über die Höhe des Dampferzeugers übereinander angeordneten Brennen eine unterschiedliche Brennstoffkonzentration einzustellen. Für den Ausbrand des Brennstoffs ist es jedenfalls günstig, an den über die Höhe des Dampferzeugers betrachtet unteren Brennern eine höhere Brennstoffkonzentration einzustellen als bei den oberen Brennern. In diesem Fall ist es günstig, wenn die Trockenbraunkohle in Strömungsrichtung des Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstroms betrachtet hinter der ersten Mühle und hinter einer Abzweigung des Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstroms zu einem Nachreaktionsbrenner oder Brüdenbrenner, dem Rauchgas-Braunkohlenstrom für die Hauptbrenner zugegeben wird. Dadurch wird eine Aufkonzentration des Brennstoffs an den unteren Brennern (Hauptbrenner) erzielt, so dass eine Noxarme Verbrennung erzielbar ist.If a mixture of ground-dried raw lignite and dry lignite is to be fed approximately evenly into all the burners of the boiler, it is advantageous to feed the dry lignite into the flue gas lignite stream immediately behind the first mill. In principle, however, it may also be desirable to set a different fuel concentration in fires arranged one above the other over the height of the steam generator. In any case, for the burnout of the fuel, it is favorable to set a higher fuel concentration at the lower burners, viewed over the height of the steam generator, than at the upper burners. In this case, it is advantageous if the dry lignite, viewed in the direction of flow of the flue gas lignite stream, is added behind the first mill and behind a branch of the flue gas lignite stream to a post-reaction burner or vapor burner, the flue gas lignite stream for the main burners. This results in a concentration of the fuel at the lower burners (main burner), so that low-NOx combustion can be achieved.
Als Mühlen können beispielsweise Schlagradmühlen Anwendung finden, in welchen in bekannter Art und Weise eine Prallbeanspruchung des Mahlgutes stattfindet. Ebenso können sogenannte Nassventilatormühlen oder Gebläseschlägermühlen Anwendung finden. Bei Anwendung einer Schlagradmühle oder Gebläseschlägermühle als erste Mühle im Sinne der Erfindung kann die Trockenbraunkohle beispielsweise im Vorschlägerteil der Mühle zugegeben werden.For example, beater wheel mills can be used as mills, in which the impact material is impacted in a known manner. So-called wet fan mills or fan beater mills can also be used. When using a beater wheel mill or blower mill as the first mill in the sense of the invention, the dry lignite can be added, for example, in the propeller part of the mill.
Bei einer Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen 15 % und 35 % der bezogen auf den Heizwert bei Volllast der Anlage gesamten zu verbrennenden Braunkohle einer Trocknung in einem separaten Trocknungsaggregat unterzogen wird, wohingegen der verbleibende Anteil der zu verbrennenden Braunkohle konventionell einer direkten Trocknung mit Rauchgas bei der Vermahlung in der ersten Mühle unterzogen wird.In a variant of the method according to the invention it is provided that between 15% and 35% of the total lignite to be burned based on the calorific value at full load of the drying system is subjected to a separate drying unit, whereas the remaining portion of the lignite to be burned is conventionally subjected to direct drying with flue gas during grinding in the first mill.
Bei einer bevorzugten Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die indirekte Trocknung der Braunkohle in wenigstens einem Wirbelschichttrockner durchgeführt wird.In a preferred variant of the method according to the invention, it is provided that the indirect drying of the lignite is carried out in at least one fluidized bed dryer.
Insbesondere bei Verwendung eines Wirbelschichttrockners kann dieser leistungsoptimiert ohne eine Nachmahlung mittels Walzenschüsselmühle betrieben werden. Bei einer Vermahlung von Trockenbraunkohle in einer Walzenschüsselmühle sind besondere Explosionsschutzmaßnahmen zu beachten, so dass eine etwa entfallende Nachmahlung eine besondere verfahrenstechnische Vereinfachung darstellt.In particular, when using a fluidized bed dryer, it can be operated in a performance-optimized manner without subsequent grinding using a bowl mill. When grinding dry brown coal in a roller mill, special explosion protection measures must be taken, so that any post-grinding that is not required represents a particular simplification of the process.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird die Energie des bei der indirekten Trocknung anfallenden Brüdens zumindest teilweise zur Vorwärmung der Verbrennungsluft und/oder des Kesselspeisewassers genutzt.The energy of the vapor produced during indirect drying is expediently used at least in part for preheating the combustion air and / or the boiler feed water.
Bei einer zweckmäßigen und vorteilhaften Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Menge der eingespeisten Trockenbraunkohle in Abhängigkeit der Last des Dampferzeugers geregelt wird.In an expedient and advantageous variant of the method according to the invention it is provided that the amount of dry brown coal fed in is regulated as a function of the load of the steam generator.
Bei erhöhter Last kann kurzfristig die Menge der eingespeisten Trockenbraunkohle erhöht werden. Da diese Trockenbraunkohle unter Umständen nicht den Mahltrocknungszyklus der ersten Mühle durchlaufen muss, lässt sich auf diese Art und Weise verhältnismäßig einfach eine Leistungsregelung des Dampferzeugers bewerkstelligen.If the load is increased, the amount of dry lignite fed in can be increased at short notice. Since this dry lignite may not have to go through the mill-drying cycle of the first mill, it is relatively easy to control the output of the steam generator in this way.
Die Vorteile des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung können wie folgt zusammengefasst werden:
- Durch eine Trockenbraunkohlezufuhr direkt stromabwärts des Mühlenaustrages, aber vor dem Ende einer Brennerzuteilung, kann die maximale Temperatur im Brennergürtelbereich des Kessels gegenüber einer Trockenbraunkohlenzufuhr über separate Drallbrenner deutlich abgesenkt werden. Durch die Vermeidung solcher Temperaturspitzen kann eine übermäßige Schlackebildung zuverlässig verhindert werden. Bekanntlich hat die Braunkohle eine mineralogische Zusammensetzung, welche schlackebildende mineralische Bestandteile umfasst, die insbesondere bei höheren Temperaturen zur Bildung von Ablagerungen im Kessel führen.
- Durch die Zugabe der Trockenbraunkohle hinter einer Mühle, aber vor dem Ende einer Brennerzuteilung, können alle Vorteile einer Tangentialfeuerung in Bezug auf die Durchmischung des Brennstoffs mit der Verbrennungsluft genutzt werden. Bei Tangentialfeuerungen bietet sich die Verwendung von Strahlbrennern an, da diese den Brennstoff relativ weit in den Feuerraum tragen und dort verbrennen, so dass die Genauigkeit der Brennstoffzuteilung an einzelne Brenner unkritisch ist.
- Feuchte, Schüttdichte und Körnungsschwankungen der Trockenbraunkohle sind aufgrund der Mahltrocknung in Mischung mit der Rohbraunkohle unkritisch.
- Es ist ein leistungsoptimierter Betrieb einer angeschlossenen Wirbelschichttrocknung ohne besondere Kontrolle von Restfeuchte und Korngrößenverteilung der Trockenbraunkohle möglich.
- Durch eine Erhöhung der Staubkonzentration im Traggas an den Brennern ist eine NOx-Reduzierung im Rauchgas möglich.
- By supplying dry brown coal directly downstream of the mill discharge, but before the end of the burner allocation, the maximum temperature in the burner belt area of the boiler can be significantly reduced compared to supplying dry brown coal via separate swirl burners. By avoiding such temperature peaks, excessive slag formation can be reliably prevented. As is known, lignite has a mineralogical composition which comprises slag-forming mineral components, which lead to the formation of deposits in the boiler, in particular at higher temperatures.
- By adding the dry lignite behind a mill, but before the end of a burner allocation, all the advantages of tangential firing in relation to the mixing of the fuel with the combustion air can be used. In the case of tangential furnaces, the use of jet burners is recommended, since they carry the fuel relatively far into the combustion chamber and burn there, so that the accuracy of the fuel allocation to individual burners is not critical.
- Moisture, bulk density and grain size fluctuations of the dry lignite are not critical due to the mill drying in a mixture with the raw lignite.
- Performance-optimized operation of a connected fluidized bed dryer is possible without special control of residual moisture and particle size distribution of the dry lignite.
- By increasing the dust concentration in the carrier gas on the burners, a NOx reduction in the flue gas is possible.
