Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for thermally oxidising a waste gas with hydrocarbon compounds into an oxidised gas.
  • the waste gas is particularly the gasified material resulting from the pyrolysis.
  • Resin is an organic material.
  • the base is usually a styrene polymer to which are linked sulfonic acid and/or amine groups.
  • the resin is therefore flammable, but when oxygen gas is supplied during combustion, sulphur and nitrogen oxides are formed which in turn must be somehow separated.
  • the resulting gases and fly ashes can therefore be significantly contaminated as a result of the radioactivity of the resins to be processed, which requires a highly efficient filter system. Accordingly, both technical and economic problems are associated with combustion of ion exchange media.
  • An alternative processing method to combustion is pyrolysis as described in GB-B-1577383 and US-B-6084147. Pyrolysis takes place in an inert atmosphere at a temperature between 400°C to 850°C, whereby a decomposition of the molecules, i.e. a mineralisation, occurs. Due to the significantly lower temperature in comparison with combustion and the absence of oxygen, the residual products from the resins remain in the pyrolysis reactor. The transfer of various radioactive isotopes, for example caesium, to the exhaust gas is also significantly lower to non-existent.
  • a known method of processing medium into highly radioactive resins using pyrolysis comprises three sequential steps as described in GB-B- 1577383.
  • the resins are dried. Namely, it is usual for the resins to be transported as a suspension in water, typically in a 70/30 volume ratio of resin to water.
  • the resins undergo pyrolysis, wherein the resins are usually subjected to a counter-current of superheated steam in a reactor vessel, which is carried out as a continuous process.
  • This pyrolysis leads to a small volume of solid residue containing the vast majority of the radionuclides and pyrolysis gas.
  • This pyrolysis gas then undergoes thermal post-combustion at temperatures between 800°C and 1 100°C as described below.
  • WO-A-2005/106329 describes an afterburner for processing heavy fuel vapours that are the result of, among other things, the gasification of organic waste.
  • the heavy fuel vapours are mixed with oxygen gas before or after the fuel vapours have arrived in the afterburner.
  • the afterburner comprises an ignition portion and a labyrinth portion which is formed by a number of partition walls which optimises the mixing of the oxygen gas and the fuel vapours and also extends the residence time within the afterburner so that it is 4 seconds.
  • the oxygen-rich fuel vapours enter the afterburner, particularly the ignition portion, at a temperature of approximately 425°C.
  • the ignition portion is provided with an electrical igniter for burning the oxygen-rich fuel vapours.
  • the igniter reaches temperatures of 540°C to 870°C so that the fuel vapours burn.
  • the heat released thereby results in the temperature inside the afterburner, particularly the labyrinth portion, rising to between 870°C and 950°C.
  • the legal obligations of a residence time of at least 2 seconds at a temperature of at least 800°C are met for the processing of heavy fuel vapours.
  • a disadvantage of the afterburner described in WO-A- 2005/106329 is that an igniter is necessary for the correct operation of the afterburner. Namely, without an igniter, the required temperature for oxidation to take place is then not easily achieved. However, the use of an igniter in combination with flammable gases entails safety risks.
  • the temperature in the labyrinth portion is almost exclusively determined by the energy generated by the combustion of the heavy fuel vapours.
  • the labyrinth portion is not necessarily at the required temperature for processing the fuel vapours.
  • the resultant temperature in the labyrinth portion cannot be sufficiently high. In both cases, the legal requirements for oxidising the waste gas are not always met.
  • direct contact between the waste gas and the electric heating elements causes contamination thereof, which is not desirable.
  • a system for thermally oxidising a waste gas with hydrocarbon compounds into an oxidised gas which system comprises: an outer chamber with a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, an upper wall and a lower wall which are provided on their inside with electrical heating means, the outer chamber being provided with a first opening and a second opening, wherein a depth of the outer chamber is defined as a shortest distance between its front wall and its rear wall, wherein a width of the outer chamber is defined as a shortest distance between its left wall and its right wall and wherein a height of its outer chamber is defined as a shortest distance between its lower wall and its upper wall; and an inner chamber that is completely surrounded by the outer chamber and has a depth, a width and a height, each of which is at most 15%, particularly at most 10%, smaller than a respective one of the depth, the width and the height of the outer chamber, wherein the inner chamber is provided with: an inlet configured to connect, via the first opening in the outer
  • the entire inner chamber is brought to the required temperature. There is therefore no risk that, for example during the start-up of the oxidation, an amount of waste gas was not exposed to a sufficiently high temperature.
  • the electric heating elements do not require the combustion of an additional fuel, for example oil or gas, and are therefore less polluting.
  • the volume of steam is more limited since no additional combustion air is required for the additional fuel. The combustion of gas and particularly oil also generate gases that must be further treated.
  • An electric oxidiser thus results in a smaller oxidiser in comparison with existing afterburners that use an igniter and/or a burner for heating the afterburner, which must also have sufficient volume for the additional combustion air. Avoiding combustion air also means that a simpler waste gas treatment system can be used. In addition, there are also fewer safety risks associated with the electric heating elements in comparison with an oxidiser that uses an igniter.
  • the one or more partitions increase the residence time of the mixture in the inner chamber compared to an identically dimensioned chamber without partitions with the same inflow rate.
  • the inner chamber, and therefore the outer chamber can be made smaller by using one or more partitions to still obtain the same residence time for the same inflow speed.
  • the one or more U-shaped loops which are the direct result of the partitions, contribute to the mixing of the waste gas and the superheated oxygen gas.
  • the inner chamber can also be replaced in its entirety without compromising the structural integrity of the outer chamber, which normally does not come into direct contact with waste gas. In other words, in the case of contamination and/or damage to the inner chamber, it can easily be replaced or maintained.
  • the dimensions of the inner chamber are chosen in such a way compared to the outer chamber that there is as little volume as possible between the chambers without them being able to come into contact with each other considering the high temperatures to which the chambers are exposed.
  • the system is suitable for the processing of waste gas that is the result of pyrolysis of organic waste, particularly radioactive waste, and more particularly radioactive resin or radioactive sludge or other organic waste.
  • one of the inner walls of the inner chamber and one side of one of said partitions are each provided with heat-resistant insulation panels for insulating a first section of the U-shaped loop closest to the inlet.
  • the portion of the inner chamber closest to the inlet provided with heat-resistant insulation panels provides an additional protection to the portion of the inner chamber that is exposed to the highest temperatures without having to drastically increase the design of the system as opposed to providing heat-resistant insulation panels on each wall within the inner chamber.
  • the outer chamber is further provided with a third opening and the inner chamber with a gas inlet configured to connect, via the third opening in the outer chamber, to a urea supply device provided for supplying urea to the inner chamber.
  • a gas inlet configured to connect, via the third opening in the outer chamber, to a urea supply device provided for supplying urea to the inner chamber.
  • said gas inlet is provided after the U-shaped loop closest to the inlet.
  • urea into the inner chamber during the processing of waste gas prevents the formation of nitrogen oxides. Adding the urea to the start of the system ensures that the formation of nitrogen oxides is avoided throughout substantially the entire inner chamber. In this way the oxidiser also acts as DeNOx installation.
  • the inner sides of the walls of the outer chamber are provided with ceramic elements in which the electrical heating means are incorporated, which elements are provided with heat-resistant insulation on their side facing the outer chamber.
  • the ceramic insulation panels make it possible to use the heat generated by the heating means more efficiently, i.e. the insulation panels limit the heat loss to the environment.
  • the incorporation of the heating means into the insulation panels also limits the space required on the inner side of the outer chamber so that the inner chamber can be used at best.
  • said inner chamber is made entirely of heat-resistant metal.
  • an odd number of partitions are provided, wherein said inlet and said outlet are provided in the same wall of the inner chamber and wherein, preferably, said first opening and said second opening are provided in the same wall of the outer chamber.
  • fastening means are provided with which the inner chamber is attached to the outer chamber, which fastening means are configured such that the inner chamber substantially does not contact with the inner side of the outer chamber.
  • said fastening means comprise one or more supporting elements positioned between the lower wall of the outer chamber and a lower wall of the inner chamber.
  • the system further comprises said supply device configured to supply said mixture into the inner chamber at a speed of at least 1 m/s and at most 5 m/s.
  • said U-shaped loops have a joint overall length such that the residence time of said waste gas in the inner chamber is at least 2 seconds.
  • said supply device comprises a superheater configured to superheat oxygen gas, particularly air, more particularly ambient air, to a temperature of at least 850°C, preferably at least 900°C and particularly to substantially 1000°C.
  • said supply device comprises a control mechanism configured to control an amount of oxygen gas in said mixture, which amount is at least 6 vol%.
  • said control mechanism comprises a control device in said discharge device, which control device is configured to determine the amount of oxygen gas in said oxidised gas, wherein the control mechanism is further configured to control the amount of oxygen gas in said mixture based on the determined amount of oxygen gas in said oxidised gas.
  • the control device allows at least 6 vol% oxygen gas to be present at all times in the waste gas mixture to be processed throughout the entire length of the inner chamber.
  • each partition is alternately attached to opposite walls of the inner chamber, wherein, preferably, each partition has a length that is at most 95% of a shortest distance between said opposite walls.
  • This object is also achieved by the use of an oxidiser as described above for thermally oxidising a waste gas, particularly a waste gas resulting from the pyrolysis of organic waste, particularly radioactive waste and more particularly comprising radioactive resin or radioactive sludge, with hydrocarbon compounds into an oxidised gas.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a system for processing organic resin according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the pyrolysis portion of the system of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 shows a front view of Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of the system of Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the mixing device.
  • Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the waste gas processing portion of the system of Figure 1.
  • Figure 7 shows a section through the oxidation portion of the system of Figure 1.
  • inert atmosphere means an atmosphere in which less than 2% oxygen is present.
  • the present invention comprises a method and a system for decomposing organic waste, so that the volume and mass of the waste to be removed is considerably reduced relative to the initial volume and the original mass.
  • the present invention also relates to the rendering harmless of those components of the processed waste that are released (e.g., exhaust gases) before they end up in the environment.
  • the present method will be described particularly with regard to radioactive waste, and in particular with regard to radioactive ion exchange resin, but other organic wastes may be processed in accordance with the following process and with the components of the system.
  • the organic wastes that can be processed according to the present invention therefore comprise not only ion exchange resins, but also, among other things, cleaning solutions for steam generators, solvents, oils, decontamination solutions, antifreeze, dirt, sludge, nitrates, phosphates and polluted water.
  • An ion exchange resin is made from organic materials, usually styrene to which amino groups are linked to make anion resins or to which sulfone groups are linked to form cation resins. Since these resins are used to purify cooling water in a nuclear reactor, they accumulate up to about 7% iron, calcium, silica and small amounts of other metals and cations.
  • the method is based on pyrolysis in a closed reactor.
  • the solid residue from the processing of the waste namely an inorganic grain with a high metal oxide content, is packaged for subsequent storage for a period of 200 years to 300 years.
  • the method can further use a conventional exhaust gas treatment (e.g., post-combustion), but also an oxidation of the waste gas as further described.
  • Pyrolysis is the destruction of organic material with the aid of heat in the absence of a stoichiometric amount of oxygen, i.e. in an inert atmosphere.
  • a reactor for use in the present invention should be substantially hermetically sealable.
  • the organic components of the resin are destructively distilled by heating.
  • the weak chemical compounds of the polymer resins break into compounds with lower carbon numbers, including carbon, metal oxides, metal sulphides, and pyrolysis gases, which in turn comprise carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, nitrogen, and hydrocarbon gases.
  • the small volume of solid residue that remains after pyrolysis contains the vast majority of the radionuclides.
  • the present method is a pyrolysis at low temperatures, generally about 300°C to 600°C, to prevent radioactive metals from volatilizing in the ion exchange resins. These metals are therefore retained in the residue of the reactor. As a result, the low-active synthetic pyrolysis gases can then be converted at higher temperatures into carbon dioxide and water without concern for volatile radioactive metals such as caesium.
  • Oxidation of the waste gas is the destruction of an organic gas at high temperatures, where a minimum amount of oxygen gas must be present.
  • the hydrocarbon vapours are converted to carbon dioxide and water at a temperature of at least 850°C with a residence time of the gases of at least 2 seconds and an oxygen content of at least 6 vol%. This does not constitute combustion of the waste gas.
  • the system for processing the ion exchange resin comprises a frame 1 on which a collecting chamber 2 is mounted, in which the resin is transported by means of transport water, particularly via supply line (not shown) and inlet 3, which inlet can be closed via closing valve 9.
  • transport water can be filtered from the collecting tank 1 and discharged via a discharge line (not shown). The separation of the transport water results in a dryer resin, which lowers the residence time in the pyrolysis chamber.
  • the resin (including or excluding the transport water) is transported to the conical pyrolysis chamber 4 via line 5 (shown in Figure 2) and enter the housing 4 via inlet 6.
  • the transport water is evaporated (if necessary) and the resin is dried and pyrolysed as described below.
  • the waste gases generated by evaporation, drying and pyrolysis are discharged via gas outlet 7 connected to line 8. Due to gravity, the pyrolysed material falls down inside the housing 4 and leave it via outlet 12 which opens into a collection tray 10.
  • a sluice valve device 11 (shown in Figure 3) is also provided between the outlet 12 and the collection tray 10.
  • Such a sluice valve is then closed during use so that non-pyrolysed material cannot yet end up in the collection tray 10.
  • a similar sluice valve device 13 (also shown in Figure 3) is provided between the collection tray 2 and the inlet 6 of the pyrolysis chamber 4.
  • nitrogen gas is led from storage tanks 19 to each opening of the pyrolysis chamber 4.
  • This nitrogen gas prevents oxygen gas from getting through one of the openings in the pyrolysis chamber 4 and thus disrupting the state of an inert atmosphere, causing an oxidation or combustion reaction which could lead to such high temperatures that the housing 4 could be damaged and/or an unsafe condition arises.
  • the storage tanks 19 can also be replaced by another nitrogen supply, e.g. a nitrogen supply network.
  • the conical housing 4 on the side wall is provided with heating means 24, particularly electric heating means, for heating the side wall.
  • these heating means 24 are incorporated in ceramic elements which are directly attached to the conical housing 4 and are suitable for generating a temperature within the housing 4 of at least 200°C, particularly at least 300°C, more particularly at least 400°C and most particularly at least 500°C.
  • the temperature that needs to be generated depends on the type of waste that needs to be processed and also on the phase the processing is in. For example, a temperature of 120°C may suffice during the evaporation of the transport water, while a temperature of approximately 300°C (depending on the type of resin) is required during the pyrolysis.
  • a conical mixing body 25 is provided which is attached via cross connections 41 to a drive shaft 26 which extends through the upper side of the housing along said longitudinal direction with a first portion which is inside the housing 4 and a second portion which is outside the housing 4.
  • the conical mixing body 25 is configured to fluidise waste inside the housing 4 by transporting it upwards along the side wall of the housing 4 by rotating the mixing body 25.
  • the mixing body 25 does not touch the housing 4 and the mixing body 25 has a free bottom side at the underside of the housing 24, as described above, to avoid accumulation of waste at the bottom of the housing 4.
  • the second portion of the drive shaft 26 is bearing-mounted on the frame 1 and therefore no mounting is required inside the housing 24.
  • a double bearing is used when attaching the drive shaft 26 to the frame 1.
  • the drive shaft 26 extends in the longitudinal direction 27 of the housing 4.
  • the drive shaft 26 is driven by an electric motor 28 shown in Figure 1.
  • the shortest distance between the mixing body 25 and the side wall of the housing 4 is at most 5% and particularly at most 3%, as described above, in order to avoid build-up of residue on the side wall.
  • the waste gas from the evaporation, drying and pyrolysis is supplied via line 8 to a supply line 14, which discharges into an inlet 33 of an oxidising device 15 (also known as an oxidiser).
  • the supply line 14 is provided for supplying superheated oxygen gas, particularly superheated air (such as ambient air), which air was heated by means of a superheater 20 (shown schematically in Figure 4).
  • the oxygen gas can be provided in a tank 21 and supplied via pump 22 as shown in Figure 4.
  • the tank 21 is preferably the chamber in which the oxidiser 15 is located and the supplied air is hence ambient air.
  • the pump 22 also determines how much oxygen gas is supplied and can also be used to control the speed (for example between 1 and 5 m/s) at which the mixture of oxygen gas and waste gas is supplied.
  • the oxidising device 15 comprises an outer chamber 16 and an inner chamber 17.
  • Electric heating means 23 (shown in Figure 7) are provided in the outer chamber 16 and heat the inner chamber 17 through which the mixture of waste gas and superheated air flows.
  • This mixture is oxidised by the temperature so that an oxidised gas is discharged from the oxidising device 15 via outlet 32 and discharge line 18.
  • the temperature of the superheated air (particularly at least 850°C, preferably at least 900°C and more preferably almost 1000°C) already ensures an initial heating of the waste gas such that the oxidation reaction already starts at the beginning of the inner chamber 17.
  • the outer chamber 16 is provided with a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, a right wall, an upper wall and a lower wall, each of which are provided on their inner side with electric heating means 23 schematically shown in Figure 7, a depth of the outer chamber 16 being defined as a shortest distance between its front wall and its rear wall, a width of the outer chamber 16 being defined as a shortest distance between its left wall and its right wall and a height of its outer chamber 16 being defined as a shortest distance between its lower wall and its upper wall.
  • the outer chamber 16 is further provided with a first opening 29 and a second opening 30, through which the supply line 14 and the discharge line 18 extend, respectively.
  • the inner chamber 17 is completely surrounded by the outer chamber 16 as shown in Figure 6 and has dimensions that are as close as possible to the dimensions of the outer chamber 16. Particularly, the height, depth and width are each at most 15%, particularly at most 10%, less than a respective one of the depth, width and height of the outer chamber 16. It has been found that such dimensions allow the inner chamber 16 to expand due to the high temperature, but also that the total volume of the outer chamber is as small as possible to form a compact oxidiser 15. As shown in Figure 7, the inner chamber 17 is supported on the outer chamber 16 by fastening means 31 so that direct contact between the two chambers 16, 17 is avoided. This avoids damage to the heating means 23. It is clear that the atmosphere within inner chamber 17 is substantially completely sealed off from the atmosphere around the inner chamber 17 in the outer chamber 16. In this way the gas to be oxidised is prevented from coming into contact with the outer chamber 17, particularly with the heating means 23.
  • the heating means 23 are designed as ceramic elements which are provided on their side facing the outer chamber 16 with heat-resistant insulation.
  • the inner chamber 17 is provided with mutually substantially parallel partitions 35 which increase the residence time inside the inner chamber 17 relative to an identically dimensioned chamber without partitions. Due to these partitions 35, the mixture must flow through a series of substantially U-shaped loops 36 which stimulate the mixing of the gases.
  • the corners of the U-shaped loops are rounded to avoid a vortex flow that could temporarily retain a portion of the waste gas, thereby reducing the efficiency of the oxidiser 15.
  • each partition 35 is approximately 85% of the height of the inner chamber 17, but other lengths are also possible. In general, this length is preferably between 60% and 95% of the height (or of the width or length if the partitions are oriented according to the width or length direction). It has been found that this allows sufficient flow and also maximises the total distance that the mixture has to travel based on the ideally as low as possible dimensions of the inner chamber 17.
  • the number of partitions 35 and the dimensions of the inner chamber 17 are selected based on the desired residence time of the mixture. This residence time is preferably at least 2 seconds.
  • the pump 22 can also be used to adjust the flow rate so that, given a certain total distance, the residence time is sufficient.
  • these can also be provided with insulation (not shown). This is especially advantageous with the first partition since this is the hottest zone due to the supply of the superheated air.
  • this wall of the inner chamber 17 is also insulated.
  • a third opening 38 is also provided in the outer chamber 16 to which a urea supply device 37 is connected via gas inlet 40 positioned within the opening 38.
  • a urea supply device 37 is connected to the nearest U- shaped loop 36 such that the supplied urea has a sufficient residence time.
  • the outer chamber 16 is provided with a door 34 that forms a wall thereof. This is advantageous since it allows the inner chamber 17 to be replaced or cleaned in its entirety. This also makes it possible to perform maintenance on the heating means 23.
  • a control device 39 is also provided which checks what volume percentage of oxygen gas is present in the oxidised gas. If this is too low, a control mechanism is activated that adjusts pump 22 so that more oxygen gas is supplied. In this way, the desired oxygen gas percentage (e.g. 6 vol%) can be obtained and maintained throughout the entire inner chamber 17.
