Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanism for cleaning the inside of an exhaust heat recovery boiler, and a cleaning method thereof, and in particular, a water treatment method of an exhaust heat recovery boiler is changed from phosphating to high-water supply pH operation volatile substance treatment (High- The present invention relates to an exhaust heat recovery boiler having a mechanism for cleaning the inside when converting to AVT (All Volatile Treatment), and a cleaning method thereof.

In the gas turbine combined cycle power plant, an exhaust heat recovery boiler (HRSG) is installed for the purpose of recovering exhaust heat of the gas turbine.
In conventional exhaust heat recovery boilers, phosphate treatment using ammonia and hydrazine in the feed water system and phosphate in the boiler water system has been used. In recent years, as the inlet gas of exhaust heat recovery boilers has become hot, there is a problem of thinning due to acid phosphate corrosion or alkali corrosion on the inner surface of carbon steel evaporator piping caused by phosphate used for boiler water treatment. It was. Further, it is known that troubles due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) occur in the economizer. As a method for avoiding these troubles, conversion to a boiler water treatment method that does not use phosphorus was examined.

  As a water treatment method that does not use phosphorus in a boiler system, there is a volatile substance treatment (AVT: All Volatile Treatment). High-AVT (high pH water treatment) in which the supply amount of ammonia is increased and the feed water pH is set higher than AVT can suppress corrosion of piping (Non-patent Document 1). Moreover, in High-AVT, the water supply process which does not use hydrazine is examined (nonpatent literature 2). Moreover, it becomes possible to suppress the above-mentioned FAC by performing a water supply process at high pH.

When scale is generated on the inner surface of the evaporator during phosphating, if it is converted to High-AVT without chemical cleaning, corrosion proceeds from the scale.
Therefore, in order to switch from phosphating to High-AVT, it is necessary not only to modify the equipment but also to clean the boiler system. Further, by washing the boiler system including the economizer in accordance with High-AVT, it is possible to suppress heat transfer inhibition due to scale adhesion in the economizer.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a method of cleaning the inside of a heat recovery steam generator boiler by putting alkaline cleaning chemicals in a steam drum and performing a load operation of the gas turbine more than no load in a combined power plant of a gas turbine and a steam turbine. To do. Patent Document 2 discloses a cleaning method for circulating a heated cleaning liquid in a heat transfer tube in a state where an exhaust gas supply port and an exhaust gas outlet of an exhaust heat recovery boiler are closed.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a method of removing scale by adding aldonic acid or aldonic acid salt and a chelating agent (for example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) to a boiler water system during boiler operation.

The cleaning system (cleaning unit) of the exhaust heat recovery boiler 1 will be described below. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the economizers 13a to 13c are also cleaned.
The cleaning pipe of the first embodiment includes pipes Lc1 to Lc4, pipes Lw4a to Lw4c, pipes Lw5-1a to Lw5-1c, and pipes Lw5-2a to Lw5-2c among existing water supply systems.

  The pipe Lc1 connects the steam drum 11a and the pipe Lw3-2. The pipe Lc2 connects the steam drum 11b and the pipe Lw1. The pipe Lc3 connects the steam drum 11c and the pipe Lw3-1. The pipes Lc1 to Lc3 are connected to the steam drums at the steam drum flanges of the steam drums 11a to 11c. The steam drum has the highest device arrangement level in each of the exhaust heat recovery units 10a to 10c, and the steam drum flange is installed at the center level of the steam drum.

  When the economizers 13a to 13c are not cleaned, the pipe Lc1 is connected to the pipe Lw4b or the pipe Lw5-1b. Similarly, the pipe Lc2 is connected to the pipe Lw4c or the pipe Lw5-1c. The pipe Lc3 is connected to the pipe Lw4a or the pipe Lw5-1a.

  Valves V1 and V2 are installed in the middle of the pipe Lc3. Between the valve V1 and the valve V2, a water-filled pump 30 for circulating the cleaning liquid in the cleaning pipe is installed. The water-filled pump 30 is a plunger pump or a diaphragm pump.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, no means for adjusting the temperature of the cleaning liquid is installed in the cleaning system.

  The reservoir 50 stores the cleaning liquid therein. The cleaning liquid is an aqueous solution containing a neutral rust remover. The cleaning liquid is stored in the storage unit 50 at room temperature (about room temperature, specifically 5 to 50 ° C., more preferably 15 to 30 ° C.).

A neutral rust remover is a chelating agent, a reducing agent, or a mixture of a chelating agent and a reducing agent, and an object to be removed (for example, a scale or rust that contains a metal oxide or a metal salt). Etc.) can be removed. Chelating agents include, for example, aminocarboxylic acids such as EDTA, BAPTA, DOTA, EDDS, INN, NTA, DTPA, HEDTA, TTHA, PDTA, DPTA-OH, HIDA, DHEG, GEDTA, CMGA, and EDDS, and amino such as salts thereof. Carboxylic acid chelating agents, oxycarboxylic acid chelating agents such as citric acid, gluconic acid, hydroxyacetic acid and the like, and salts thereof, organic phosphoric acids such as ATMP, HEDP, NTMP, PBTC, EDTMP and their salts Organic phosphorus chelating agents such as Examples of the reducing agent include various metal ions such as Fe ²⁺ and Sn ²⁺ , nitrites such as sodium sulfite, organic compounds such as oxalic acid, formic acid, ascorbic acid, pyrogallol, hydrazine, hydrogen, and the like. The cleaning liquid containing a neutral derusting agent has a pH of 4-8. Moreover, a corrosion inhibitor may be added to the neutral rust remover.

  In the cleaning liquid, the concentrations of the chelating agent, the reducing agent, and the corrosion inhibitor are appropriately adjusted so that a desired cleaning power and cleaning time can be obtained.

  The pipe Lc4 connects the storage unit 50 and the pipe Lc3 between the valve V1 and the water pump 30. In the middle of the pipe Lc4, a chemical injection pump 51 that supplies the cleaning liquid in the valve V8 and the reservoir 50 to the pipe Lc3 is installed.

Each of the steam drums 11a to 11c includes a measuring unit (not shown) that measures the water level in the steam drum. It is preferable that a measurement part is the steam drum flange vicinity of each steam drum 11a-11c. The steam drum flange has the highest equipment placement level among the parts to be cleaned in the exhaust heat recovery units 10a to 10c.
Alternatively, a vent pipe or a drain pipe installed in a site to be cleaned such as the evaporators 12a to 12c and the economizers 13a to 13c is used as a measurement unit, and a valve attached to the vent pipe or the drain pipe is operated to The water level may be measured by confirming the supply. Among the parts to be cleaned, the vent pipe has the highest equipment placement level, and the drain pipe has the lowest equipment placement level.

A method for cleaning the inside of the piping of the exhaust heat recovery boiler of FIG. 1 will be described below. The following cleaning may be performed only once or multiple times.
The cleaning liquid is neutral. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to remove the SUS member before cleaning.

  At the start of cleaning, the condensate pump 4, the economizer circulation pump 5, the chemical injection pump 51, and the water supply pumps 14a and 14b are stopped. As shown in FIG. 1, the valves V1, 3 to 7 are closed, and the valves V2 and V8 are opened.

  The chemical injection pump 51 is activated, and the cleaning liquid in the reservoir 50 is supplied to the pipe Lc3 via the pipe Lc4. The water-filled pump 30 is activated, and a normal temperature cleaning liquid is supplied from the pipe Lc3 to the economizer 13a via the pipe Lw3-1, and is supplied to the steam drum 11a via the pipe Lw4a. The cleaning liquid fed to the steam drum 11a is filled into the evaporator 12a through the pipe Lw5-1a and the pipe Lw5-2a.

  When the cleaning liquid in the steam drum 11a reaches the steam drum flange, the cleaning liquid flows into the pipe Lc1. The cleaning liquid flows into the pipe Lw3-2 through the pipe Lc1. In the same manner as described above, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b. When the cleaning liquid in the steam drum 11b reaches the steam drum flange, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the economizer 13c, the steam drum 11c, and the evaporator 12c via the pipe Lc2. When the cleaning liquid in the steam drum 11c reaches the steam drum flange, the cleaning liquid flows into the pipe Lc3. Since valve | bulb V1 is closed, the water level in each steam drum 11a-11c rises.

  The measuring unit installed in the vicinity of the steam drum flange measures the water level of the cleaning liquid in the steam drums 11a to 11c. When the water level of the cleaning liquid reaches full water in each of the steam drums 11a to 11c, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V2 and V8 are closed.

  When the vent pipe or the drain pipe is used as the measuring section, the measuring section determines whether or not the cleaning liquid is discharged from the vent pipe or the drain pipe. When the water is discharged, it is determined that the cleaning liquid in each of the steam drums 11a to 11c is full, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V2 and V8 are closed.

  By closing the valve V1 and the valve V2, the economizer, the steam drum, and the evaporator of each of the exhaust heat recovery units 10a to 10c are immersed in the cleaning liquid. In this state, it is left for a predetermined time, and soaking and cleaning is performed. The soaking time is set in consideration of the concentration of neutral derusting agent in the cleaning liquid, the concentration of reducing agent, corrosion inhibitor, etc., the number of times of cleaning, and the like.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the valves V1 and V2 are opened, and the water-filled pump 30 is activated. The cleaning liquid used for cleaning is discharged out of the system from a blow line (not shown) provided in the middle of the pipe Lc3.

  In the cleaning method of this embodiment, since a heater such as a heater is not provided in the cleaning system, cleaning is performed at room temperature (room temperature, specifically 5 to 50 ° C.).

  As another example of the method for cleaning the inside of the pipe of the exhaust heat recovery boiler in FIG. 1, the cleaning liquid may be circulated in the pipes Lc1 to Lc3 while being immersed in the cleaning liquid. In this case, the valves V1 and V2 are opened during the immersion and the water pump 30 is operated.

In the present embodiment, since the inside of the pipe is cleaned using a normal temperature cleaning liquid containing a neutral rust remover, there is no need to install a temperature raising equipment and a cleaning liquid preheating step is unnecessary. In addition, since a cleaning solution containing a neutral rust remover is used, it is not necessary to attach or detach accessories or devices that are vulnerable to acids such as SUS and Al parts for cleaning. Therefore, the time and cost required for cleaning are reduced.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, since a heater such as a heater is not provided in the cleaning system, cleaning is performed at room temperature. The cleaning system of the present embodiment is simple, and cleaning is performed with the amount of the chemical solution managed by the measurement unit. For this reason, the usage-amount of a washing | cleaning liquid can be restrained and washing | cleaning cost reduces. In addition, the time required for cleaning can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, no means for adjusting the temperature of the flowing liquid is installed in the middle of the pipes Lc11 to Lc15.

A method for cleaning the inside of the piping of the exhaust heat recovery boiler of FIG. 2 will be described below.
At the start of cleaning, the condensate pump 4, the economizer circulation pump 5, and the water supply pumps 14a and 14b are stopped. As shown in FIG. 2, the valves V12 to V16 are closed, and the valves V8 and V11 are opened. Further, the valves V3 to V7 are closed.

  The chemical injection pump 51 is activated, and the cleaning liquid in the reservoir 50 is supplied to the pipe Lc11 via the pipe Lc4. The water-filled pump 30 is activated, and a normal temperature cleaning liquid is fed from the pipe Lc11 to the economizer 13a and the steam drum 11a via the pipes Lw3-1 and Lw4a. The cleaning liquid fed to the steam drum 11a is filled into the evaporator 12a through the pipe Lw5-1a and the pipe Lw5-2a.

  The measuring unit installed on the steam drum 11a measures the water level of the cleaning liquid in the steam drum 11a. When the water level of the cleaning liquid reaches the full level in the steam drum 11a, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V8 and V11 are closed.

  When the vent pipe or the drain pipe is used as the measuring section, the measuring section determines whether or not the cleaning liquid is discharged from the vent pipe or the drain pipe. When the water is discharged, it is determined that the cleaning liquid in the steam drum 11a is full, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V8 and V11 are closed.

  By closing the valves V11 and V14, the economizer 13a, the steam drum 11a, and the evaporator 12a are immersed in the cleaning liquid. In this state, it is left for a predetermined time, and soaking and cleaning is performed. The soaking time is set in consideration of the concentration of the neutral rust remover in the cleaning liquid, the concentration of the rust inhibitor, the number of times of cleaning, and the like.

  After a predetermined time has elapsed, the valve V12 and the valve 14 are opened, and the water-filled pump 30 is activated. The cleaning liquid used for the cleaning is conveyed from the evaporator 12a to the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b via the pipes Lc11, Lc12, Lw3-2, Lw4b, Lw5-1b, and Lw5-2b. The measuring unit measures the water level in the steam drum 11b. When the steam drum 11b does not reach full water, the chemical injection pump 51 is activated, the valve V8 is opened, and the cleaning liquid in the reservoir 50 is conveyed to the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b. The filter installed in the pipe Lc11 collects solids contained in the cleaning liquid when the cleaning liquid used for cleaning is supplied to the exhaust heat recovery unit 10b.

  When the steam drum 11b reaches full water, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V8, V12, and V14 are closed. Thereby, the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b are immersed and washed.

  The exhaust heat recovery unit 10c also performs cleaning liquid transfer and cleaning in the same process.

  The order of washing is not limited to the above, and can be performed in any order. The cleaning of each of the exhaust heat recovery units 10a to 10c may be performed once or may be performed a plurality of times.

  If washing is repeated, the washing ability of the washing solution decreases. Therefore, in the second embodiment, after a predetermined number of times of cleaning, or when the concentration of a neutral rust remover or the like is monitored by monitoring the components of the cleaning solution, or the concentration of the scale component dissolved in the cleaning solution is a predetermined value. When it exceeds, the used cleaning liquid is discharged out of the system from a blow line (not shown) provided in the middle of the pipe Lc11. After the cleaning liquid is discharged, a new cleaning liquid is supplied from the storage unit 50.

  As another method for cleaning the inside of the pipe of the exhaust heat recovery boiler of FIG. 2, the cleaning liquid may be circulated in the pipe while the inside of the pipe is immersed in the cleaning liquid. Specifically, the water-filled pump 30 operates during cleaning. The valves V11 and V14 are opened while the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a is cleaned, the valves V12 and V15 are opened while the exhaust heat recovery unit 10b is cleaned, and the valves are cleaned while the exhaust heat recovery unit 10c is cleaned. V13 and V16 are opened.

  In the cleaning method of the present embodiment, since a heater such as a heater is not provided in the cleaning system, cleaning is performed at room temperature. In the present embodiment, the water-filled pump 30 only needs to supply the cleaning liquid to each exhaust heat recovery unit. For this reason, it can be set as a pump of a capacity | capacitance smaller than 1st Embodiment, and it is possible to reduce motive power. Further, it is possible to reduce the volume of the cleaning liquid required for cleaning as compared with the first embodiment (about 1/3 in FIG. 2).

That is, in the exhaust heat recovery boiler 201, a plurality of exhaust heat recovery units that generate steam having different pressures are arranged in the vertical direction.

  The exhaust heat recovery boiler 201 of the third embodiment has the same water supply system and steam system as in FIG. 2, but the cleaning system is different. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the economizers 13a to 13c are also cleaned.

  In 3rd Embodiment, in addition to the washing piping of 2nd Embodiment, piping Lc21-Lc24 is installed. The reservoir 50, the pipe Lc4, the valve V8, and the chemical injection pump 51 have the same configuration as in the second embodiment. The reservoir 50 stores the cleaning liquid described in the first embodiment.

  The pipe Lc21 and the pipe Lc22 (first connecting pipe) connect the evaporators adjacent in the vertical direction. FIG. 3 is an example in which the evaporator 12a, the evaporator 12b, and the evaporator 12c are arranged in this order from the upper side in the vertical direction. The pipe Lc21 connects the evaporator 12a and the evaporator 12b. The pipe Lc22 connects the evaporator 12b and the evaporator 12c. The connecting positions are preferably drum level reducing pipes 60a to 60c provided at the inlet headers of the respective evaporators 12a to 12c. The evaporators 12a to 12c are connected in series with the flow of the cleaning liquid by the pipe Lc21 and the pipe Lc22.

  The pipe Lc23 and the pipe Lc24 (second connecting pipe) connect the steam drums adjacent in the vertical direction. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the steam drum 11a, the steam drum 11b, and the steam drum 11c are arranged in this order from the upper side in the vertical direction. The pipe Lc23 connects the steam drum 11a and the steam drum 11b. The pipe Lc24 connects the steam drum 11b and the steam drum 11c. The connection position is preferably the drum blow pipes 61a to 61c of the respective steam drums 11a to 11c.

  A method for cleaning the inside of the piping of the exhaust heat recovery boiler of FIG. 3 will be described below. Here, a method of immersing and cleaning the inside of the pipe will be described as an example.

  At the start of cleaning, the condensate pump 4, the economizer circulation pump 5, and the water supply pumps 14a and 14b are stopped. The valves V12 to V16 and V21 to V24 are closed, and the valves V8 and V11 are opened. Further, the valves V3 to V7 are closed.

  First, as described in the second embodiment, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a, and the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a is cleaned.

  After cleaning the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a, the water-filled pump 30 is started and the valves V12 and V14 are opened, and the cleaning liquid is conveyed to the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b via the pipes Lc11 and Lc12. .

  The evaporator 12a is disposed at a higher position than the evaporator 12b. The steam drum 11a is disposed at a position higher than the steam drum 11b. After the cleaning of the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a, when the valves V21 and V23 are opened, the cleaning liquid is conveyed to the evaporator 12b and the steam drum 11b through the pipes Lc21 and Lc23 by gravity. When the water level in the steam drum 11b measured by the measurement unit does not reach full water, the chemical injection pump 51 is activated, the valve V8 is opened, and the cleaning liquid in the storage unit 50 is stored in the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and It is conveyed to the evaporator 12b. The filter installed in the pipe Lc11 collects solids contained in the cleaning liquid when the cleaning liquid used for cleaning is supplied to the exhaust heat recovery unit 10b.

  When the steam drum 11b reaches full water, the water-filled pump 30 and the chemical injection pump 51 are stopped, and the valves V8, V12, V14, V21, and V23 are closed. Thereby, the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b are immersed and washed.

  The exhaust heat recovery unit 10c also performs cleaning liquid transfer and cleaning in the same process. Washing can be performed in any order. The cleaning of each of the exhaust heat recovery units 10a to 10c may be performed once or may be performed a plurality of times.

  Even in the third embodiment, the water-tight pump 30 may be operated while the inside of the pipe is immersed in the cleaning liquid, and the cleaning liquid may be circulated in the pipe.

  The cleaning method of the present embodiment can reduce the time required to transfer the cleaning liquid as compared with the second embodiment, and can shorten the cleaning time. In addition, the volume of the water-filled pump 30 can be further reduced, and the power required for transferring the cleaning liquid can be reduced.

[Fourth Embodiment]

  The exhaust heat recovery boiler 301 of the fourth embodiment is not limited to a vertical type, and can be applied to a horizontal type. The exhaust heat recovery boiler 301 of the fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that no valves are installed in the pipes Lc21 to Lc24 and transfer pumps 71a to 71d are installed. In the fourth embodiment, regarding the connection of the pipes Lc21 to Lc24, it is not necessary to consider the vertical arrangement of the evaporators and the steam drums even in a vertical exhaust heat recovery boiler.

  The cleaning method using the exhaust heat recovery boiler 301 of the fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment with respect to the transfer of the cleaning liquid. In the fourth embodiment, the transfer pumps 71a and 71c are activated after the exhaust heat recovery unit 10a is cleaned. Thereby, the cleaning liquid inside the evaporator 12a is conveyed to the evaporator 12b via the pipe Lc21, and the cleaning liquid inside the vapor drum 11a is conveyed to the vapor drum 11b via the pipe Lc23. In addition, the water pump 30 is activated and the valves V12 and V14 are opened, and the cleaning liquid is conveyed to the economizer 13b, the steam drum 11b, and the evaporator 12b via the pipes Lc11 and Lc12.

Further, it is possible to further reduce the volume of the water-filled pump 30 as compared with the second embodiment and also reduce the power required for transferring the cleaning liquid.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, the cleaning liquid is controlled by controlling the operation cycle of the water-filled pump (plunger pump or diaphragm pump) 30 during the supply and transfer of the cleaning liquid or during the circulation of the cleaning liquid during the cleaning. It is also possible to give strength to the flow (by changing the flow rate in a short cycle). By doing so, it is possible to improve the cleaning effect.

  In the plunger pump and the diaphragm pump, the cleaning liquid is not supplied from the water-filled pump 30 when the cleaning liquid is sucked in the operation. Therefore, in the exhaust heat recovery boilers of the first to fourth embodiments, an automatic valve (not shown in FIGS. 1 to 4) is provided in the cleaning pipe. This automatic valve is linked to the operation of the plunger pump or diaphragm pump. The automatic valve extracts the cleaning liquid from the cleaning pipe, and supplies the cleaning liquid extracted in the direction opposite to the flow direction of the cleaning liquid at a timing when the water-filled pump 30 does not supply the cleaning liquid. By providing such an automatic valve, it is possible to improve the cleaning effect.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, a spiral groove may be formed inside the cleaning pipe. The cleaning liquid flows through the cleaning pipe and each device while being stirred by the spiral groove. Or the stirring apparatus may be installed in the middle position of the washing piping of the first to fourth embodiments.
