Description

  The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a clinker.

  A clinker, which is considered to be derived from the ash component of the burned fuel, adheres to the heat exchange part (evaporation tube, super heater (superheater), ecomizer, air preheater, etc.) of the thermal power generation boiler. The clinker grows with time in the boiler, causing problems such as hindering heat exchange and damage to the boiler due to the fall of the giant clinker.

  Patent documents 1 and 2 disclose a clinker prevention and suppression method including injecting a clinker inhibitor and an inhibitor in a waste incineration plant. Patent Document 3 discloses a clinker inhibitor containing metal compound particles used for a thermal power generation boiler and the like. Patent Document 4 discloses a cleaning composition containing four types of nitrates used in boilers and the like.

  In the case of a huge boiler such as a thermal power generation, the clinker generated and growing in the heat exchanging part can be several hundred kilograms to several tons. For this reason, the clinker removal cleaning work performed with the boiler stopped may require several days or more, and a reduction in operating efficiency is a problem. Moreover, when a huge clinker is peeled off due to its own weight, for example, from the superheater tube, there is a problem that the inside of the boiler is damaged. With respect to these problems, clinker modifying agents that suppress the growth of clinker or drop the clinker before the clinker grows large have been developed (Patent Documents 1 to 4). However, how to apply these chemicals to the heat exchanger of a huge boiler such as thermal power generation becomes a problem. From the viewpoint of labor and cost, and suppression of clinker, an efficient and effective method for applying a drug is desired.

The test was conducted in a boiler at a coal-fired power plant.
[Confirmation of clinker adhesion before spraying clinker modifying agent]
About two superheaters in a boiler (2SH: secondary superheater, 3SH: tertiary superheater), eight small in-furnace observation windows in the direction of the front of the clinker adherence before spraying the clinker-modified chemical (FIG. 4) It was confirmed visually from the schematic diagram). The secondary superheater is a superheater on the ceiling in front of the “can” side, and the tertiary superheater is a superheater on the back side of the secondary superheater. The following criteria were used for evaluating the clinker adhesion status. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, Example 1 and Example 2 are examples in which the observed boilers are the same, but the observed periods are different.
<Clinker adhesion evaluation criteria>
1: Almost no clinker adhesion 2: Small amount of clinker adhesion 3: Large amount of clinker adhesion

  As shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that the inside (right before the can 6, 5, 4, 3) was more likely to get dirty than the outside (right before the can 8, 7, 2, 1) in the can.

[Clinker modifying agent spray]
The clinker modifying agent was spray-injected under the following conditions. In Example 1, spray injection was uniformly performed from eight openings (inspection ports) (F1 to F8, FIG. 5), and in Example 2, a spray injection amount was prepared based on the results of Table 1. The spray injection amount was adjusted by changing the nozzle diameter. Thereafter, the clinker adhesion state was visually evaluated from 16 large in-furnace observation windows (1 to 16 in front of the can) in the front direction of the can, and compared before and after the spraying of the medicine. The results are shown in Table 2. It should be noted that the superheater tubes 1 and 2 in Table 2 observe the superheater tube at almost the same location as that observed from the front 1 can in Table 1. Thereafter, the right before cans 3 and 4 in Table 2 correspond in order so as to correspond to the right before can 2 in Table 1.
<Clinker modifying agent (common to Examples 1 and 2)>
Ammonium nitrate: 8.00% by weight
Potassium nitrate: 14.00% by weight
Magnesium nitrate: 2.31% by weight
Copper nitrate: 1.24% by weight
Water: 74.45% by weight
<Drug injection location>
Spray injection was performed from an opening (inspection port) in the vicinity of the uppermost burner of multiple burners. A schematic diagram of the arrangement of the burner is shown in FIG. Eight openings (inspection ports) F1 to F8 were used.
<Drug injection amount>
Example 1: 400 kg / day × 20 days = 8,000 kg
Example 2: 300 kg / day × 21 days = 6,300 kg
<Injection frequency>
1 time / 2 locations / day <Injection rate (weight ratio)>
Example 1 (uniform spraying)
F1: F2: F7: F8 = 1: 1: 1: 1
F4: F3: F6: F5 = 1: 1: 1: 1
Example 2 (Nozzle diameter adjustment)
F1: F2: F7: F8 = 1: 2.4: 1.4: 1.4
F4: F3: F6: F5 = 1: 2.4: 1.4: 1.4
<Injection method>
On the first day, when F1 & F2 are sprayed simultaneously and the prescribed amount is injected, F7 & F8 is sprayed at the same time.
On the second day, when F4 & F3 are sprayed simultaneously and the prescribed amount is dispensed, F6 & F5 is sprayed at the same time.
The following is repeated.
<Injection device>
A device equipped with a drug injection device with a discharge pressure of 10 MPa, a discharge rate of 15 L / min, a chemical injection tank (capacity 1000 L), and a nozzle for spraying the drug was used.

  As shown in Table 2, in Examples 1 and 2, improvement in clinker adhesion was observed after spraying the drug, and the improvement effect was greater in Example 2 than in Example 1.

[Clinker removal work]
After spray injection of the clinker modifying agent, the clinker removal work in the furnace was performed. The time required to remove the clinker is shown in Table 3 below. In addition, a conventional clinker removing operation period in which no drug is used is also shown.

  As shown in Table 3, by using the chemical, the clinker removal operation time in Examples 1 and 2 could be greatly shortened compared to the case where no chemical was used. In addition, although the amount of drug was 8,000 kg in Example 1 and decreased to 6,300 kg in Example 2, the work period required for clinker removal was as shown in Table 3 from Example 1. Is also significantly shortened in the second embodiment. This is thought to be because the clinker was modified and physically weakened. That is, by adjusting the injection amount by changing the nozzle diameter in Example 2, it was shown that not only the cost and environment are friendly with a small amount of drug, but also the clinker removal work time can be greatly shortened.
