Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of energy recovery of waste, of the kind of those which include a waste incineration step in a furnace for the production of thermal energy, a method according to which a waste gasification is carried out at high PCI. to produce gas, and this gas is injected into the furnace combustion chamber.
- Furnaces for the implementation of these processes are designed according to the average lower heating value (average ICP) of the waste to be incinerated and according to the average flow, generally expressed in tons per hour (t / h) of waste to be treated.
- average ICP average lower heating value
- t / h average flow
- a maximum flow is determined, as well as a maximum power of the oven. When operating the machine, it must be avoided that these maximum values are exceeded, which could degrade the performance of the oven.
- the pit manager performs an empirical mix of incoming wastes to provide an "adequate mix" to the combustion furnace.
- This "adequate mix” depends on the know-how of the manager, and can be a source of errors in some cases leading to an inadequate "mix” locating the flow / power pair of the oven outside the operating zone considered normal.
- the operator will seek to operate the furnace by avoiding exceeding the maximum power expected in the construction. For this, if the waste has a relatively high PCI compared to what was taken into account during the design of the furnace, the regulation will limit the mass flow of waste introduced into the oven so as not to risk exceeding the power maximum; this way of operating reduces the capacity of the recovery unit which will not operate at its maximum flow so that the treatment time of a given quantity of waste will be greater.
- the control underestimates the ICP of the waste and makes the oven work at its maximum mass flow, the maximum power of the oven may be exceeded.
- the main purpose of the invention is to optimize the operation of an existing waste energy recovery unit by making it operate, in a controlled manner, in the vicinity of the intersection of the maximum waste stream and the maximum power of the waste. oven.
- the invention also aims to efficiently treat the separately collected high PCI waste.
- a method of energy recovery of waste is characterized in that:
- the waste incinerated in the kiln is urban and / or industrial waste
- high-level waste consists of biomass and / or wood waste, particularly wood B, and the gasification of this waste is carried out in a gasifier to produce syngas, the injection of which into the combustion chamber makes it possible to achieve a higher oven power without increasing the mass flow of waste introduced.
- the gasifier is of the co-current type with the introduction of waste with high PCI in the upper part of the gasifier, introduction of oxidizing gasification agents, in particular air and / or oxygen (O 2 ) substantially at i-height, the output of the product gas being located in part bottom of the gasifier and being connected by at least one pipe to the furnace combustion chamber.
- oxidizing gasification agents in particular air and / or oxygen (O 2 ) substantially at i-height
- a gasification of waste with a PCI greater than 12 MJ / kg Preferably, a gasification of waste with a PCI greater than 12 MJ / kg.
- the furnace is operated at maximum flow and the power of the furnace is controlled by the syngas flow so as to maintain it equal to or close to the maximum power.
- the syngas is advantageously used as fuel. in a burner installed on a pipe of the combustion gases of the furnace, upstream of a reactor for a catalytic denitrification of the combustion gases.
- the invention also relates to a waste energy recovery unit, for the production of thermal energy, comprising an oven for the combustion of waste, and a waste gasification with high PCI, characterized in that:
- the oven is a furnace for the combustion of waste with relatively low PCI, in particular less than 8 MJ / kg,
- High PCI in particular greater than 12 MJ / kg, consisting of biomass and / or wood waste, particularly wood B, to produce syngas,
- the or each connecting line for the syngas is connected to a secondary air inlet of the furnace combustion chamber.
- a unit in which the combustion furnace is provided to operate between a maximum power and a minimum power, with a waste stream comprised between a maximum flow and a minimum flow, the waste PCI being between a higher value and a lower value , is characterized in that a regulation is provided to adjust the flow of syngas injected into the oven and to operate the oven at its maximum power.
- a solenoid valve can be installed on the connecting line and be controlled by the control for adjusting the flow of syngas injected into the furnace.
- the gas generator is co-current, downflow, with feed at the top for waste high PCI, power lateral for an oxidizing gasification agent, the output of the produced syngas being located in the lower portion of the gasifier.
- the combustor may be a grid or roller oven.
- a unit, as defined above, comprising a catalytic denitrification installation of the furnace combustion gases, with a burner installed on a flue gas discharge pipe, upstream of a denitrification unit, is characterized in that a syngas feed line of the burner is provided between the output of the gasifier and the burner, to supply the latter in syngas when the solids treated in the gasogene can generate a syngas own.

- Fig. 1 of the drawings we can see a combustion diagram that defines the operating range of an oven for the combustion of urban and / or industrial waste.
- the furnace power expressed in MW (megawatts) is plotted on the ordinate, while the mass flow of waste introduced into the furnace is plotted on the abscissa and is expressed in tons / hour (t / h).
- the iso-PCI curves are therefore straight lines originating from the origin 0 and whose slope is proportional to the PCI.

- the maximum permissible flow corresponds to a vertical line E2.
- the maximum allowable power corresponds to a horizontal line P2.
- the construction of the combustion diagram is made from the data on the deposit of waste to be burned, taking into account the annual capacity and the lower heating value PCI, the number of furnaces or of furnace lines, and the power of the (or) boiler (s).
- PCI the annual capacity and the lower heating value
- PCI the number of furnaces or of furnace lines
- PCI the power of the (or) boiler
- a flux m in im um E1 is a percentage of the maximum flux, in particular 50 to 60% of the maximum flux.
- a mass overload zone Zm corresponds to a vertical band comprised between the straight line E2 of the maximum continuous permissible flow and a vertical line E3 corresponding to 1 10% of the maximum flux. Operation in this zone Zm remains acceptable but temporarily.
- a thermal overheating zone Zt corresponds to a horizontal band between the line P2 of maximum power and a line P3 corresponding to 1 1 0% of the maximum power. Operation in this zone Zt remains acceptable, but it is preferable to avoid it.
- the optimal operation corresponds to the point B located at the intersection of the straight line P2 of maximum power and the vertical E2 of maximum flow.
- the PCI waste does not exceed that defined by the line D4 iso-PCI from the origin 0 and which passes by point B.
- the operator will therefore endeavor to prepare waste mixtures corresponding to an iso-PCI line such as D5 located below D4 so as to be able to process the maximum mass flow of waste, without exceeding the power maximum permissible.
- This straight line D5 cuts the vertical E2 at the operating point B1 which corresponds to a power lower than the maximum power.
