Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of incineration systems.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a device for removing blocking materials in a quenched ash extractor water drain pipe of an incinerator therefore allowing hot water to safely drain from the quenched ash extractor and clear any blocked material within the quenched ash extractor, an incineration system comprising said device, and a method of operating said device.
  • a moving grate incinerator is one typical incineration system for municipal solid wastes (MSWs), where the moving grate enables the movement of the waste through the combustion chamber to be optimized to allow an efficient and complete combustion.
  • MSWs Municipal solid wastes
  • the waste is introduced by a waste crane through the "throat" at one end of the grate, then dried and burnt on the grate at a high temperature (about 850 to 950 °C) accompanied with a supply of combustion air. The waste then moves down over the descending grate to the ash pit in the other end, where treated with water for cooling and cleaning out.
  • IBAs incinerator bottom ashes
  • char unburned organic material
  • a quenched ash extractor which may be a chute and also referred to as a quench pit or a deslagger, beneath the burnout section of the grate.
  • the quenched ash extractor is filled with water for cooling down the IBAs.
  • the quenched ash extractor regularly undergoes blockage because the refuse burnt in the incinerator may contain non-conforming materials including large piece of wood, mattresses, metallic frames, etc., or due to unburnt material floating on the surface of the water forming a raft which prevents IBA sinking into the ash extractor.
  • Such blockage due to unburned or poorly combusted IBAs in the quenched ash extractor may require the whole system to shutdown for removing it.
  • WO 02/29322 discloses that fluxing agents are added to the waste in order to prevent such blockage.
  • fluxing agents might not be effective for certain non-conforming materials contained in the blockage and adding the fluxing agents can be potentially harmful may again impair the safety for the operator.
  • a device for removing a blocking material in a quenched ash extractor drain pipe of an incineration system allowing hot water to drain from a quenched ash extractor, particularly to clear a floating blockage within the ash extractor or to dislodge non-conforming material within the ash extractor, comprising:
  • the device according to the first aspect of the present invention enables the operator of the incineration system to access the built-up IBAs within the drain pipe and break and remove the blockage of the IBAs safely and efficiently, without being exposed to any harmful burning water, steam, oil and/or dust from the quenched ash extractor. Further, it eliminates the need to add any additional fluxing agents as in WO 02/29322 but rather provides a solution to more directly access and remove the blockage itself to allow the hot water to drain from the ash extractor. It may solve the blockage even if certain non-conforming materials may be contained, and may eliminate the need to provide additional parts for application of such fluxing agents with the incineration system. Further yet the device of the present invention may be configured relatively compact in the huge entire incineration system, thus may be conveniently installed in a limited space of the incineration system without adding further spatial requirements.
  • the evacuation means comprise a draining pipe connected to the connecting part leading to a drain of the incineration system.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables hot water to be flushed away from the quenched ash extractor to the drain while preventing any casualty or injury of the operator. Also, the device according to this embodiment enables broken blocking materials to be smoothly flushed away from the quenched ash extractor to the drain.
  • the pipe may be connected to the connecting part via at least one bush comprising a liquid proof and/or dust proof seal.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables a liquid-tight and/or dust-tight closed system, resulting in an improved safety for the operator.
  • the ram comprises a breaking means at a first end, said first end being configured to be slidably guided through the pipe into the quenched as extractor.
  • the ram may comprise a spike at the first end.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables removing the blockage in the quenched ash extractor drain pipe more efficiently and effectively with the spike penetrating and crushing the built up IBAs.
  • the spike may be surrounded by a cutting means.
  • the cutting means may comprise a cutting head and/or a cutter mill. The device according to those embodiments facilitates removing the blockage in the quenched ash extractor drain pipe by adding more breaking forces to the spike at the first end of the ram.
  • the ram may comprise a handle at a second end opposed to the first end.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables an operator to use such a handle to move the ram more easily and efficiently without too much effort.
  • the device may further comprise a slide hammer mounted on the ram.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables the operator to remove the ram from the quenched ash extractor drain pipe more easily even if the ram should become stuck within the drain pipe by the built up IBAs.
  • the connecting part may further comprise a water tap on its outer surface for flushing at high pressure water into the device.
  • the device according to this embodiment thus enables to safely wash away broken blocking materials and/or ashes "stuck" on the first end of ram.
  • the water tap allows to restore the "breaking efficiency" of the device, while preserving the safety of the operator, as the system is a closed system.
  • the water tap is very advantageous as it allows to wash the first end of the ram very rapidly, i.e. within a matter of seconds, so that removing the stuck broken blocking materials does not significantly slow down the operating of the device of this embodiment. Therefore, cleaning operations may be repeated to improve the efficiency of the breaking of the blocking materials, while not significantly slowing down the method of the invention.
  • the ram may be configured as a stainless steel ram or as chrome plated ground mild steel ram.
  • the device according to this embodiment enables an improved strength and an improved corrosion resistance, the water in the quenched ash extractor being particularly corrosive.
  • the ram could be made of a chrome plated milled steel ram.
  • the ram may be configured as one of a threaded ram, an electric motor driven ram, hydraulically driven ram and a pneumatically driven ram.
  • the device according to this embodiment facilitates removing the blockage in the quenched ash extractor drain pipe by increasing the breaking forces of the ram to break the built up IBAs within the drain pipe and allow the hot water to be removed safely.
  • an incineration system comprising:
  • a method for operating a device according to any one of the above embodiments, for removing a blocking material in a quenched ash extractor drain pipe of an incineration system to allow safe draining of the hot water from the ash extractor comprising steps of:
  • the method may further comprise steps of:
  • the method may further comprise a step of repeating the steps c) and d).
  • the method may further comprise a step of flushing water into the device, gate valve, ash extractor drain pipe and the quenched ash extractor drain pipe.
  • Fig. 1 a schematic view illustrating an exemplary conventional incineration system.
  • the incineration system 1 may be a moving grate incinerator, sometimes also referred to as a Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator (MSWI) commonly used for MSWs.
  • MSWI Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator
  • a quenched ash extractor 222 is situated at the downstream of the moving grate 1 and residual IBAs 3 unburnt, non-conforming waste or poorly combusted material after the combustion process on the grate 1 have built up or become stuck in the quenched ash extractor 222. Being left unsolved, those IBAs 3 would build up and prevent any ash falling into the ash extractor and the entire facility would therefore have to be shut down.
  • the device according to the present invention enables removing such blockages built up in the quenched ash extractor 222 by safely and efficiently breaking up the built up IBAs 3 into smaller pieces which are located within the water drain pipe 2 and therefore allowing the water to be removed safely from the ash extractor 222 and therefore dislodging the blockage thus preventing any c entire system shutdown.

  • the bush or bushing is intended to mean a bearing or a nested sleeve which can be inserted into the pipe 11 as generally considered by a person skilled in the art of the field of mechanics.
  • such at least one bush 14 comprises a liquid proof and/or dust proof seal 15.
  • the bush 14 may assure that the pipe 11 is kept water-tight, oil-tight and dust-proof so that an operator handling the device 10 will not be exposed to any harmful burning water from the quenched ash extractor 222.
  • the number of bushes 14 is not limited to 1 or 2 but 3 or more bushes may be employed as needed. However, it might be preferable to provide at least one bush at the proximal end 111 where the pipe is connected to the connecting part so that the connection between the pipe and the connecting part is tightly sealed.
  • two bushes 14 are seated within the pipe 11, specifically a first bush at the proximal end 111 where the pipe 11 is connected to the connecting part 12 and a second bush at the distal end 110 of the pipe 11.
  • the number and/or the position of the bush(es) 14 are not limited thereto but rather any other number and/or the position of the bush(es) 14 might be conceivable appropriately.
  • the bush 14 may be made of for example, but not limited to, bronze or leaded bronze and may comprise a grease nipple to allow lubrication.
  • a ram 13 is slidably guided into the connecting part 12, and thus into the quenched ash extractor drain pipe 2 for accessing the IBAs 3 built up in the quenched ash extractor drain pipe 2. That is, the pipe 11 may serve as a guide for the ram 13 to move into the quenched ash extractor drain pipe 2.
  • the ram is intended to mean a plunger- or piston-like feature to force or drive with a heavy impact, as generally considered by a person skilled in the art in the field of mechanics.
  • the ram 13 is also free in rotation in the pipe 11, so it can be either slid and/or rotated into the quenched ash extractor drain pipe 2.
  • the ram 13 may be configured as a threaded ram or rod with its external surface knurled or notched in order to increase the breaking forces by the rotating ram 13 moved into the quenched as extractor drain pipe 2, but not limited thereto.

  • the ram 13 may be configured as a single integral body, but can be alternatively configured as a nested or telescopic structure. In the latter case only a portion of the ram 13 including the first end 16 may be telescopically extended and slidably inserted into the pipe 11. It should be appreciated that the joints of such telescope-type ram should be rigid and robust enough so that the operator can handle the ram easily and effectively to provide sufficient mechanical forces for breaking the built up IBAs.
