Definitions

  • the present application relates to an injection lance for delivering a liquid reducing reagent into a flue gas of a boiler or furnace, thereby reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) present in said flue gas.
  • the major air pollutants emanating from boilers and furnaces are nitrogen oxides (NO x ), including nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O).
  • NO x nitrogen oxides
  • the total NO and NO 2 -concentration is typically referred to as NO x (nitrogen oxides).
  • Nitrogen oxides are mainly produced in the form of NO. Some NO 2 and N 2 O are also formed, but with lower concentrations.
  • These air pollutants are the subject of growing concern because these compounds are toxic and are the precursors to acid rain deposition as well as photochemical smog. Furthermore, nitrous oxide contributes to the greenhouse effect.
  • liquid reducing reagents directly into the flue gas in the combustion chamber can remove a significant proportion of NO x .
  • the liquid reducing reagent is typically an aqueous solution of urea or ammonia.
  • a superheater is a device used to convert saturated steam or wet steam into superheated steam or dry steam.
  • Water-cooled injector lances penetrating the combustion area of a boiler or furnace are quite common.
  • the main problem with this technology is that the wall temperature of the injector lance must be kept at temperatures over 150°C to avoid corrosion by the acid components in the flue gas.
  • condensate from the boiler or furnace cycle can be used, which is at a temperature below 100°C.
  • a heat exchanger for the condensate and the cooling water a pumping module for the cooling water as well for the condensate and a temperature control equipment are necessary. This system is thus costly and requires maintenance.
  • a process and apparatus for reducing the concentration of pollutants in an effluent from the combustion of a fuel is described.
  • the process and apparatus enable injection of an effluent treatment fluid at independently variable droplet sizes and distance of injection to a wide variety of distribution patterns within a flue gas passage.
  • An atomization conduit positioned coaxially around a treatment fluid conduit, extends into the effluent and supplies an atomization fluid.
  • the supply conduit is axially slidable with respect to the atomization conduit and supplying a treatment fluid through the supply conduit.
  • the relative axial position of the supply conduit and the atomization conduit is adjusted and the rate of flow of the atomization fluid is selected to inject droplets of a size effective to a desired distance within the passage.
  • the probe is provided with a cooling conduit disposed outside of and around a portion of the atomization conduit.
  • An appropriate cooling fluid such as air, water or steam, may be circulated or flowed through the cooling conduit to maintain the cooling of both the atomization and supply conduits in the high temperature environment of a boiler.
  • the purpose of the application is to provide an injector lance arranged for reducing the amount of NO x present in a flue gas of a burner or a furnace that can be installed in the combustion chamber in the right temperature window and having an improved NO x -reduction.
  • a first aspect of the present application provides in an injection lance for injecting a liquid reducing reagent into a flue gas from the combustion of fuel in a combustion chamber of a power boiler or furnace to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in the flue gas, wherein the injection lance comprises
  • the injection lance according to the application has the advantage that it improves the NOx-reduction by reducing the baseline and providing a better distribution due to the turbulence created by the injected air.
  • This injection lance is furthermore more cost efficient compared to the ones known in the state of the art.
  • the openings in the vicinity of the spraying nozzles enhance the mixing of the liquid reducing reagent with the flue gas.
  • the surrounding pipe furthermore helps significantly in the reduction of the temperature of the liquid reducing reagent. There is also no direct connection between the injectors and the surrounding pipe, due to different thermal expansion.
  • the first cooling means are arranged to cool the injectors with atomizing air that is used for atomizing the liquid reducing agent that is then sprayed by the respective spraying nozzles into the flue gas in the combustion chamber.
  • the atomizing air has a temperature of between 10°C and 60°C.
  • the atomizing air more specifically has a pressure of between 0,5 bar and 4 bar, and most specifically between 1 bar and 3 bar.
  • the second cooling means are arranged to cool the surrounding pipe with air having a temperature of between 10°C and 250°C.
  • the air used to cool the surrounding pipe more specifically has a pressure of between 0.01 bar and 0.5 bar.
  • each of the spraying nozzles has a droplet size and/or a spraying direction that are adjustable by changing the atomizing air pressure, the ratio of the atomizing air to the sprayed liquid reducing agent and/or the type of spraying nozzle.
  • An adjustable droplet size allows manipulation of the penetration distance of the droplet, i.e. the bigger the droplet, the longer the time until it is vaporized.
  • the injection lance comprises a flow control unit for continuously controlling the flow of the liquid reducing reagent towards each of the spraying nozzles.
  • the first and second cooling means are arranged to cool the injectors, respectively the surrounding pipe in case the spraying nozzles are not spraying liquid reducing agent into the flue gas.
  • each of the injectors is connected with the surrounding pipe in the vicinity of their respective spraying nozzles.
  • each of the injectors would expand, possibly in a different way, then each of the injectors are able of move within the surrounding pipe, but their spraying nozzle situated at the end of the injectors will remain in the correct position where the respective openings in the surround pipe are provided.
  • the surrounding pipe is made out of a material that is resistant against a temperature of up to 1100°C.
  • a boiler or furnace having a combustion chamber comprising a roof and an injection lance according to the application as described above which is hanging essentially vertically from the roof of the combustion chamber.
  • a boiler or furnace is provided with a combustion chamber comprising a substantially vertical wall and an injection lance according to the application as described above which is arranged in an essentially horizontal position attached to the substantially vertical wall, wherein between the injectors and the surrounding pipe, a supporting beam is arranged to maintain the injectors centrally disposed within the surrounding pipe.
  • the boiler or furnace is provided with one or more connections external to the combustion chamber for receiving the atomizing and ambient air and the liquid reducing reagent.
  • the injector lance has a certain penetration depth in the combustion chamber of the boiler or furnace, and the boiler or furnace is arranged with an adaptation mechanism to change the penetration depth of the injector lance.
  • the lance is completely inserted into the combustion chamber, while for higher load, the injection needs to be done further up in the combustion chamber and therefore the injection lance is partially lifted.
  • the present application relates to a method for reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) present in flue gas provided from the combustion of fuel in a boiler or furnace, said method comprises the step of adding to said flue gas a liquid reducing reagent such as an aqueous urea or ammonia solution using an injection lance as described herein.
  • a liquid reducing reagent such as an aqueous urea or ammonia solution using an injection lance as described herein.
  • the present application relates to the use of injection lance as described herein for injecting a liquid reducing reagent such as an aqueous urea or ammonia solution to in combustion chamber thereby reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) present in flue gas provided from the combustion of fuel in a boiler or furnace.
  • a liquid reducing reagent such as an aqueous urea or ammonia solution
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of an exemplary embodiment of an injection lance according to the application.
  • An injection lance (1) is arranged for injecting a liquid reducing reagent, more specific an aqueous urea or ammonia solution, into a flue gas produced by the combustion of fuel in a combustion chamber of boiler, for instance a power boiler, or a furnace in order to reduce the amount of NO x in the flue gas.
  • the injection lance (1) comprises a surrounding pipe (2) made out of high temperature resistant steel, more in particular resistant against temperatures up to 1100°C. This surrounding pipe (2) is coaxial with and disposed around at least two oblong separate injectors (3) that at the end thereof each have a single spraying nozzle (4) (see FIG.
  • each of the spraying nozzles (4) can have a droplet size and/or a spraying direction that are adjustable by changing the pressure of the atomizing air, the ratio of the atomizing air to the sprayed liquid reducing agent and/or the type of spraying nozzle.

  • the air that is used to cool the injectors (3) is more specifically the atomizing air that is used to atomize the liquid reducing agent or in other words to reduce the liquid reducing agent to a fine spray in each of the injectors (3).
  • the atomizing air more specifically has an inlet temperature of between 10°C and 60°C and has a pressure of between 0,5 and 4 bar, and more in particular a pressure of between 1 and 3 bar. It is remarked that further in the injection lance (1), the temperature can be higher.

Furthermore, it can also be air that is coming from ammonia stripping of the ash produced in the combustion chamber. During transport of fly ash together with the flue gas, ammonia is adsorbed on the fly ash. Since the fly ash is however sold, the amount of ammonia that is allowable is limited.
