Refractory material 21c.

The cylindrical portion 22 is a member formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending along the axis X. The cylindrical portion 22 has an outer peripheral surface 22a that forms a gap 20a for combusting organic waste to generate carbides with the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main body portion 21. Since the cylindrical part 22 becomes high temperature by combustion of organic waste, it is preferable to form the cylindrical part 22 from a heat-resistant material (for example, a metal material such as stainless steel).
As shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the cylindrical portion 22 is a hollow closed space, and this closed space is not in communication with other spaces. For this reason, the cylindrical portion 22 can store a certain amount of heat, and is not easily affected by an external temperature change.

  The cylindrical portion 22 is attached to a turntable 24a, which will be described later, and rotates around the axis X in response to the turntable 24a rotating around the axis X. As the cylindrical portion 22 rotates about the axis X, the gap 20a and the organic waste existing above the gap 20a are guided along the gap 20a from above to below.

Gas is generated. The solid content containing a large amount of carbide is guided to the lower carbide refining / cooling region R1 along the gap 20a, and the combustion gas containing combustible gas is guided to the secondary combustion region R4.
The carbide refining / cooling region R <b> 1 is a region where the upper side is closed with organic waste and the primary combustion air from the primary air supply unit 25 is not supplied. Therefore, the carbide is refined while being cooled in the carbide refinement / cooling region R1.

  The organic waste input unit 23 is an opening that is provided in the main body 21 and inputs organic waste (not shown) supplied from the hopper 12 via the raw material supply path 12 a into the main body 21. An inclined surface 23a is formed below the organic waste throwing portion 23. The inclined surface 23a is inclined downward from above as it approaches the axis X.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the carbide discharge unit 24 includes a turntable 24 a (rotating body), a drive unit 24 b, and a carbide discharge port 24 c.

As shown in FIG. 3, the turntable 24 a is a member provided at a position facing the lower end of the gap 20 a in the axis X direction, and is an annular rotator extending in the circumferential direction around the axis X. The turntable 24a rotates around the axis X by the driving force transmitted from the driving unit 24b.
As shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the turntable 24 a that faces the lower end of the gap 20 a is an inclined surface that is inclined downward as the distance from the axis X increases. Therefore, a gap is formed between the lower end of the gap 20a and the inclined surface of the turntable 24a.

  Carbide (not shown) existing at the lower end of the gap 20a moves downward along the inclined surface of the turntable 24a as the turntable 24a rotates about the axis X, and is guided to the carbide discharge port 24c. . Therefore, as the rotational speed of the turntable 24a increases, the amount of carbide guided from the lower end of the gap 20a to the carbide discharge port 24c increases. Similarly, as the rotational speed of the turntable 24a decreases, the amount of carbide guided from the lower end of the gap 20a to the carbide discharge port 24c decreases.

  The driving unit 24b is a device that transmits driving force to the turntable 24a and rotates the turntable 24a around the axis X. As shown in FIG. 2, the drive unit 24b includes a drive motor 24e, a speed reducer 24f, a drive belt 24g, and a drive shaft 24h.

The drive motor 24 e is an inverter motor whose rotation speed is controlled by a control signal transmitted from the carbonization furnace control unit 29. The rotational power of the drive motor 24e is transmitted to the speed reducer 24f by the drive belt 24g.
The speed reducer 24f is a device that increases the torque while reducing the rotational speed of the rotational power transmitted from the drive motor 24e by the drive belt 24g. The speed reducer 24f transmits the rotational power with increased torque to the drive shaft 24h extending around the axis X.
The turntable 24a is connected to the drive shaft 24h. Therefore, the turntable 24a rotates about the axis X as the drive shaft 24h rotates about the axis X.

  The carbide discharge port 24 c is an opening through which the carbide is discharged to the carbide supply path 101. The carbide discharged from the carbide discharge port 24 c to the carbide supply path 101 is supplied to the pyrolysis furnace 30 through the carbide supply path 101.

The clinker crusher 24d is a member for crushing a clinker that is a lump larger than a gap formed between the lower end of the gap 20a and the inclined surface of the turntable 24a. Here, the clinker is obtained by melting the combustion ash generated by the combustion of the organic waste in the primary combustion region R2 into a lump.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the clinker crusher 24d is a substantially annular member arranged around the axis X, and claws 24i projecting radially inward are provided at a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction. It has been.
As shown in FIG. 4B (end view taken along the line CC in FIG. 4A), the claw 24i is bent upward along the inclined surface of the turntable 24a.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the clinker crusher 24d is attached to the main body portion 21 by fastening bolts. The clinker crusher 24d remains fixed to the main body 21 even when the turntable 24a rotates about the axis X. Therefore, when the clinker moves as the turntable 24a rotates, the clinker collides with the claws 24i of the clinker crusher and is crushed.

In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the air supply ports 25c are arranged at intervals of 30 ° along the circumferential direction around the axis X. However, as other intervals (for example, 20 °, 45 °, etc.) Alternatively, they may be arranged at arbitrary intervals instead of at equal intervals.

  The primary air supply unit 25 shown in FIG. 2 has a heating unit (not shown) that heats the air blown from the primary combustion fan 25a. The air supply port 25c supplies the air heated by the heating unit to the air supply port 25c. Therefore, compared with the case where the air blown from the primary combustion fan 25a is not heated, the atmospheric temperature of the primary combustion region R2 can be maintained at a high temperature.

As the heating unit included in the primary air supply unit 25, the radiation fins 25e shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 may be employed. The modification of the primary air supply part 25 shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7 uses the air transmitted from the gap | interval 20a of the carbonization furnace 20 via the main-body part 21, and the air ventilated from the primary combustion fan 25a is used. The heat dissipating fins 25e are provided.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the radiation fin 25 e is an annular member that contacts the outer peripheral surface 21 e of the main body 21 and extends around the axis X along the outer peripheral surface 21 e. The radiation fins 25e are provided at a plurality of locations along the axis X. The radiation fin 25e is attached to the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 by welding or the like.

FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a first modification of the primary air supply unit 25.
The cover part 25b of the primary air supply part 25 shown in FIG. 2 is provided only at substantially the same position in the axis X direction as the air supply port 25c. On the other hand, the cover portion 25b of the primary air supply unit 25 shown in FIG. 6 is provided so as to include a position below the air supply port 25c in addition to substantially the same position in the axis X direction as the air supply port 25c. It is done.

  The heat radiating fins 25e shown in FIG. 6 are heat transfer members that transfer the atmospheric temperature of the gap 20a through the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21. The outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 is heated to about 50 ° C. to 70 ° C., although the housing 21a is protected by the refractory material 21c and the heat insulating material 21b so as not to be overheated. Therefore, the air (atmosphere) blown from the primary combustion fan 25a can be heated by the radiation fin 25e.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the primary combustion fan 25a blows air introduced from the outside toward the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 located on the outer peripheral side below the gap 20a. This is because the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 located on the outer peripheral side below the gap 20a is cooled by air introduced from the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a carbide refining / cooling region R1 is provided below the gap 20a. The carbide refining / cooling region R1 is a region in which the carbide generated in the primary combustion region R2 is refined while being cooled, and therefore it is desirable to maintain the temperature at a certain low level. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position where the primary combustion fan 25a blows air is set so that the carbide refining / cooling region R1 is cooled.

FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a second modification of the primary air supply unit 25.
The second modification of the primary air supply unit 25 shown in FIG. 7 is different in that the thickness of the heat insulating material 21b and the position of the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 are different at the positions where the radiation fins 25e are arranged. It is the same as that of the 1st modification shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the distance from the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main body 21 to the outer peripheral surface 21e at the position where the air supply port 25c is disposed is a distance D1. On the other hand, the distance from the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main body 21 to the outer peripheral surface 21e at the position where the radiation fin 25e is disposed is the distance D2. As shown in FIG. 7, the distance D2 is shorter than the distance D1.

  According to the second modification of the primary air supply unit 25 shown in FIG. 7, compared with the first modification of the primary air supply unit 25 shown in FIG. 6, the atmosphere of the gap 20a at the position where the radiation fins 25e are arranged. The temperature is easily transmitted to the outer peripheral surface 21e. Therefore, according to the second modification, the radiating fins 25e are heated to a higher temperature than in the first modification. Therefore, according to the primary air supply unit 25 of the second modification, the air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a can be supplied to the air supply port 25c while being heated to a higher temperature.

  6 and 7 is an annular member extending around the axis X, but other modes may be used. For example, the heat dissipating fin 25e may have a structure that forms a spiral flow path that contacts the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 and turns around the axis X along the outer peripheral surface 21e from below to above. .

Next, the secondary air supply unit 26 will be described.

The secondary combustion fan 26a can adjust the air volume to blow by controlling the rotation speed of the inverter motor.

The cover portion 26b is a member that forms a closed space 26d that introduces air blown from the secondary combustion fan 26a and supplies air to the air supply port 26c.
As shown in FIG. 5B (end view of the carbonization furnace 20 shown in FIG. 2 taken along the line B-B), the cover portion 26b is a closed space extending around the axis X between the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body portion 21. 26d is formed.

The air supply port 26c is a flow path for supplying air blown from the secondary combustion fan 26a to the closed space 26d to the secondary combustion region R4 inside the main body 21 from the closed space 26d.
As shown in FIG. 2, the air supply ports 26 c are provided at a plurality of locations in the vertical direction along the axis X in the secondary combustion region R <b> 4 where the combustible gas contained in the combustion gas is combusted by the secondary combustion air. ing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the air supply ports 26c are provided in the main body 21 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction around the axis X (30 ° intervals in FIG. 5B). Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the air supply port 26 c is a linear flow path extending from the outer peripheral surface 21 e of the main body portion 21 toward the axis X.
In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the air supply ports 26c are arranged at intervals of 30 ° along the circumferential direction around the axis X. However, as other intervals (for example, 20 °, 45 °, etc.) Alternatively, they may be arranged at arbitrary intervals instead of at equal intervals.

  The combustion gas discharge unit 27 is an exhaust port that discharges the combustion gas generated in the primary combustion region R2 and combusted with the combustible gas component in the secondary combustion region R4 to the combustion gas channel 200a. The combustion gas discharged to the combustion gas flow path 200a is supplied to the pyrolysis furnace 30 for use as a heat source for the pyrolysis reaction.

The temperature sensor 28 a is a sensor that detects the temperature of the combustion gas discharged from the combustion gas discharge unit 27. The temperature sensor 28 a transmits a temperature detection signal indicating the detected temperature to the carbonization furnace control unit 29.
As shown in FIG. 2, the temperature sensor 28a is arranged in a region close to the combustion gas flow path 200a in the secondary combustion region R4. Therefore, the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a is substantially the same as the temperature of the combustion gas discharged to the combustion gas flow path 200a.

The temperature sensor 28b is a sensor that detects the ambient temperature of the primary combustion region R2. The temperature sensor 28 b transmits a temperature detection signal indicating the detected temperature to the carbonization furnace control unit 29.
The temperature sensor 28c is a sensor that detects a carbide temperature Tc that is a temperature of carbide deposited on the lower end side of the gap 20a. The temperature sensor 28 b transmits a temperature detection signal indicating the detected carbide temperature Tc to the carbonization furnace control unit 29.

The level sensor 28d is a sensor that detects the amount of organic waste deposited in the gap 20a. In the primary combustion region R2, the level sensor 28d detects the amount of organic waste accumulated in the direction of the axis Y shown in FIG. 1 by obtaining an output signal corresponding to the amount of accumulation.
The level sensor 28d may be a reflective sensor that detects the amount of deposition by receiving reflection of emitted light, ultrasonic waves, or the like. Further, the level sensor 28d may be a transmission type sensor in which a receiving part for receiving emitted X-rays or the like is provided in the cylindrical part 22.

  As will be described later, the level sensor 28d detects that the amount of organic waste deposited in the gap 20a has decreased, such as when the introduction of new organic waste from the organic waste input unit 23 is stopped. Sensor. Therefore, the level sensor 28d detects the amount of deposition along the axis Y directed downward from the mounting position in the vertical direction. When the carbonization furnace control unit 29 outputs a detection signal indicating that the deposition amount Ao, which is the deposition amount of organic waste detected by the level sensor 28d, is 0, the deposition amount of the organic waste present in the gap 20a is predetermined. It is determined that the first deposition amount Ao1 has decreased.

  The ignition burner 20c is a device used to ignite organic waste when starting combustion of organic waste in the carbonization furnace 20. As shown in FIG. 2, the ignition burner 20c is provided on the lower end side of the gap 20a. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the ignition burners 20 c are arranged at two locations facing the axis X.

  The ignition burner 20c burns organic waste accumulated on the lower end side of the gap 20a by generating a flame using ignition fuel such as kerosene. The ignition burner 20c generates a flame when starting combustion of organic waste in the carbonization furnace 20 in accordance with a control command from the carbonization furnace control unit 29. Further, the ignition burner 20c stops the generation of flame at a predetermined timing in accordance with a control command from the carbonization furnace control unit 29.

  The carbonization furnace control unit 29 is a device that controls each part by receiving a detection signal indicating the state of each part from each part of the carbonization furnace 20 and transmitting a control signal to each part based on the detection signal. The carbonization furnace control unit 29 is a device that transmits a signal indicating the state of the carbonization furnace 20 to the control device 90 and controls the carbonization furnace 20 in response to a control signal transmitted from the control device 90.

  The carbonization furnace control unit 29 receives a temperature detection signal indicating the temperature detected by each of the temperature sensors 28a, 28b, and 28c, and a deposition amount detection signal indicating the deposition amount Ao of the organic waste detected by the level sensor 28d. . Further, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal for controlling the blown amount of the primary combustion fan 25 a to the primary air supply unit 25. Further, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal for controlling the blown amount of the secondary combustion fan 26 a to the secondary air supply unit 26. The carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal to the ignition burner 20c to generate a flame when starting combustion of organic waste, and transmits a control signal at a predetermined timing to stop the generation of the flame. . Moreover, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal for controlling the rotation speed of the turntable 24a to the drive motor 24e.

Next, a method for controlling the blowing amount of the primary combustion fan 25a by the carbonization furnace control unit 29 will be described.
The carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the amount of air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a based on the atmospheric temperature of the primary combustion region R2 detected by the temperature sensor 28b. The amount of air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a coincides with the amount of primary combustion air supplied from the air supply port 25c to the primary combustion region R2 of the carbonization furnace 20. Therefore, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 can adjust the amount of primary combustion air blown to the primary combustion region R2 by controlling the amount of air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a. .

  The carbonization furnace control unit 29 performs primary combustion based on the atmospheric temperature in the primary combustion region R2 detected by the temperature sensor 28b so that the combustion state suitable for carbonizing the organic waste accumulated in the gap 20a is maintained. The amount of air blown by the fan 25a is controlled. Specifically, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the amount of air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a so that the atmospheric temperature of the primary combustion region R2 is within a range of 1000 ° C. or more and 1200 ° C. or less.

Next, a method for controlling the blown amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a by the carbonization furnace control unit 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
The carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the amount of air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a based on the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a. The amount of air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a matches the amount of air for secondary combustion supplied to the secondary combustion region R4 of the carbonization furnace 20 from the air supply port 26c. Therefore, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 can adjust the amount of secondary combustion air blown to the secondary combustion region R4 by controlling the amount of air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a. .

Based on the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a so that the combustion state suitable for burning the combustible gas contained in the combustion gas in the secondary combustion region R4 is maintained. The amount of air blown by the next combustion fan 26a is controlled. Specifically, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the amount of air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
Each process in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 is a process performed when a calculation unit (not shown) included in the carbonization furnace control unit 29 executes a control program stored in a storage unit (not shown).

  Prior to the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, when the carbonization furnace control unit 29 starts combustion of the organic waste in the carbonization furnace 20, the organic waste is generated by the ignition burner 20 c and accumulated in the gap 20 a. Start burning. Thereafter, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 starts blowing external air (atmosphere) by the secondary combustion fan 26a. The carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the secondary combustion fan 26a so that the air flow rate is constant until the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a becomes equal to or higher than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1. After the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a becomes equal to or higher than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1, the processes shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 are started.

  The amount of secondary combustion air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a before the combustion gas temperature Tg becomes equal to or higher than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 is assumed to exist in the secondary combustion region R4. It is an amount obtained by adding a certain surplus amount to the amount necessary to completely burn the fuel.

  In step S800, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 receives the temperature detection signal transmitted from the temperature sensor 28a, and detects the combustion gas temperature Tg that is the temperature of the combustion gas discharged from the combustion gas discharge unit 27.

  In step S801, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 determines whether or not the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a is lower than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1. When determining that the combustion gas temperature Tg is lower than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 advances the process to step S802, and otherwise advances the process to step S803.

In step S802, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal for reducing the blown amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a to the secondary combustion fan 26a. The secondary combustion fan 26a reduces the blown air volume in response to receiving the control signal from the carbonization furnace control unit 29.
Here, when it is determined that the combustion gas temperature Tg is lower than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1, the blowing amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a is decreased for the following reason.

  The amount of secondary combustion air that the secondary air supply unit 26 supplies to the secondary combustion region R4 is a fixed amount rather than the amount that causes complete combustion of the combustible gas contained in the combustion gas present in the secondary combustion region R4. A large amount is preferable. That is, the excess air ratio in the secondary combustion region R4 is preferably set to a constant value larger than 1.0.

  However, the amount of combustible gas present in the secondary combustion region R4 generally varies depending on factors such as the properties of the organic waste and the combustion state of the organic waste in the primary combustion region R2. Therefore, if the amount of secondary combustion air supplied from the secondary air supply unit 26 to the secondary combustion region R4 is kept constant, an air amount suitable for complete combustion of the combustible gas cannot be maintained.

  When the amount of secondary combustion air is excessively large relative to the amount of complete combustion of the combustible gas, a large amount of surplus air that is not used for combusting the combustible gas is supplied to the secondary combustion region R4. It will be. Since the temperature of the air (atmosphere) blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a is lower than the atmospheric temperature in the secondary combustion region R4, the atmospheric temperature in the secondary combustion region R4 is lowered by a large amount of excess air.

If it does so, the combustion efficiency of the combustible gas in secondary combustion area | region R4 will deteriorate, and the combustion gas which contains much combustible gas will be discharged | emitted from the combustion gas discharge part 27. FIG. The combustible gas contains polymer hydrocarbons which are components that solidify to become tar. Therefore, if a large amount of components that solidify into combustible gas and become tar is contained, the carbonization furnace 20 and equipment installed downstream thereof may be damaged. For this reason, it is desirable that a large amount of components that solidify into the combustion gas and become tar are not included, and damage to the carbonization furnace 20 and equipment installed downstream thereof is desirably suppressed.
Therefore, when the carbonization furnace control unit 29 determines that the combustion gas temperature Tg is lower than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1, the secondary combustion is performed in order to reduce the amount of surplus air supplied to the secondary combustion region R4. The air volume of the fan 26a is reduced.

  In step S803, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 determines whether or not the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a is higher than the second combustion gas temperature Tg2. When determining that the detected combustion gas temperature Tg is higher than the second combustion gas temperature Tg2, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 advances the process to step S804, and if not, advances the process to step S801.

In step S804, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 transmits a control signal for increasing the blowing amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a to the secondary combustion fan 26a. The secondary combustion fan 26a increases the blown air volume in response to receiving the control signal from the carbonization furnace control unit 29.
When the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 ends, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 starts executing the process shown in FIG. 8 again.
Here, when it is determined that the combustion gas temperature Tg is higher than the second combustion gas temperature Tg2, the blowing amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a is increased for the following reason.

  When operating the carbonization furnace 20 without setting an upper limit on the combustion gas temperature Tg, the assumed maximum combustion gas temperature is assumed, and the carbonization furnace 20 and the combustion are maintained so that sufficient heat resistance is maintained even at the combustion gas temperature. It is necessary to design the gas flow path 200a. In this case, it is necessary to manufacture the carbonization furnace 20 or the like using an expensive member having high heat resistance, and the manufacturing cost of the carbonization furnace 20 or the like increases. In order not to increase the manufacturing cost of the carbonization furnace 20 or the like, it is preferable that the combustion gas temperature Tg be equal to or lower than a predetermined upper limit temperature.

  Therefore, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 increases the blowing amount of the secondary combustion fan 26a when it is determined that the combustion gas temperature Tg is higher than the second combustion gas temperature Tg2. As described above, when a large amount of surplus air is supplied to the secondary combustion region R4 by increasing the amount of air blown from the secondary combustion fan 26a, the atmospheric temperature in the secondary combustion region R4 is lowered.

As described above, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the amount of air blown by the secondary combustion fan 26a based on the combustion gas temperature Tg detected by the temperature sensor 28a, so that the combustion gas temperature Tg is the first. It is made to become more than combustion gas temperature Tg1 and below 2nd combustion gas temperature Tg2.
Here, as the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 and the second combustion gas temperature Tg2, for example, the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 can be set to 900 ° C., and the second combustion gas temperature Tg2 can be set to 1300 ° C.

  The reason why the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 is set to 900 ° C. is that most of the polymer hydrocarbons can be removed from the combustion gas by maintaining the temperature of the secondary combustion region R4 at 900 ° C. or higher. . The polymer hydrocarbon is a component that solidifies into a tar in the combustible gas contained in the combustion gas. Therefore, by removing most of the polymer hydrocarbon from the combustion gas, damage to the carbonization furnace 20 and equipment installed downstream thereof can be suppressed.

Further, as the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 and the second combustion gas temperature Tg2, for example, the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 may be set to 1000 ° C., and the second combustion gas temperature Tg2 may be set to 1200 ° C.
Further, for example, both the first combustion gas temperature Tg1 and the second combustion gas temperature Tg2 may be set to 1100 ° C. In this case, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 decreases the blowing amount when the combustion gas temperature Tg is lower than the first combustion gas temperature Tg1, and increases the blowing amount when the combustion gas temperature Tg is higher than the second combustion gas temperature Tg2. The secondary combustion fan 26a is controlled so as to cause this to occur.

Next, a method for controlling the rotational speed of the turntable 24a by the carbonization furnace controller 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Each process in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is a process performed when a calculation unit (not shown) included in the carbonization furnace control unit 29 executes a control program stored in a storage unit (not shown).

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the discharge amount of the carbide discharged by the carbide discharge unit 24. In the present embodiment, the amount of carbide discharged by the carbide discharge unit 24 is controlled because the input of the organic waste from the organic waste input unit 23 to the gap 20a is stopped. This is to prevent the temperature of the carbide discharged from 24 from rising.

When the amount of organic waste deposited in the gap 20a is gradually reduced, the carbide refining / cooling region R1 for extinguishing the carbide gradually becomes narrower. In this case, if the rotation speed of the turntable 24a is maintained constant, the carbide is discharged from the lower end of the gap 20a in a state where the carbide is not sufficiently cooled. This is because the carbide that has been carbonized in the primary combustion region R2 to a high temperature is not sufficiently cooled in the carbide refining / cooling region R1.
Then, the carbonization furnace control part 29 adjusts the temperature of the carbide | carbonized_material discharged | emitted by the carbide | carbonized_material discharge | emission part 24 by controlling the discharge | emission amount of the carbide | carbonized_material discharged | emitted by the carbide | carbonized_material discharge part 24. FIG.

In the present embodiment, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 adjusts the temperature of the carbide discharged by the carbide discharge unit 24 using both the temperature sensor 28c and the level sensor 28d. The former is a sensor that directly detects the temperature of the carbide, and the latter is a sensor that indirectly detects a state in which the temperature of the carbide is high from the amount of deposited carbide.
Hereinafter, each step of the flowchart of FIG. 9 will be described.

In step S900, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 receives the temperature detection signal transmitted from the temperature sensor 28c, thereby detecting the carbide temperature Tc, which is the temperature of the carbide deposited on the lower end side of the gap 20a.
In step S901, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 receives a deposition amount detection signal transmitted from the level sensor 28d, and detects a deposition amount Ao that is a deposition amount of organic waste deposited in the gap 20a.

In step S902, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 determines whether or not the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c is equal to or higher than the first carbide temperature Tc1. When determining that the detected carbide temperature Tc is equal to or higher than the first carbide temperature Tc1, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 proceeds to step S903, and otherwise proceeds to step S904.
Here, as 1st carbide | carbonized_material temperature Tc1, arbitrary temperature of the range of 250 degreeC or more and 300 degrees C or less can be set, for example.

In step S903, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the driving unit 24b to rotate the rotation speed of the turntable 24a at the second rotation speed Rs2. The second rotation speed Rs2 is lower than the first rotation speed Rs1 described later.
Here, the first rotation speed Rs1 is a speed for discharging the amount of carbide necessary for the carbonization furnace 20 to maintain the normal operation state from the carbide discharge portion 24. In step S903, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a is set to the first speed so that the temperature of the carbide discharged by the carbide discharge unit 24 is lowered when the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c is equal to or higher than the first carbide temperature Tc1. The second rotation speed Rs2 is lower than the rotation speed Rs1. By reducing the rotation speed of the turntable 24a, the time for which the carbide stays in the carbide refining / cooling region R1 becomes longer, and accordingly, the temperature of the carbide discharged by the carbide discharge portion 24 decreases.

  In step S904, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 determines whether or not the deposition amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d is equal to or less than the first deposition amount Ao1. When determining that the detected deposition amount Ao is equal to or less than the first deposition amount Ao1, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 advances the process to step S905, and otherwise advances the process to step S906.

  In step S905, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the drive unit 24b to rotate the rotation speed of the turntable 24a at the second rotation speed Rs2. The second rotation speed Rs2 is lower than the first rotation speed Rs1 described later. In step S905, the rotation speed of the turntable 24a is set to the first speed so that the temperature of the carbide discharged by the carbide discharge unit 24 decreases when the accumulation amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d becomes equal to or less than the first accumulation amount Ao1. The second rotation speed Rs2 is lower than the rotation speed Rs1.

  In step S906, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 controls the drive unit 24b to rotate the rotation speed of the turntable 24a at the first rotation speed Rs1. As described above, the first rotation speed Rs1 is a speed for discharging the amount of carbide necessary for the carbonization furnace 20 to maintain the normal operation state from the carbide discharge section 24. Since the carbide temperature Tc is lower than the first carbide temperature Tc1 and the deposition amount Ao is larger than the first deposition amount Ao1 in step S906, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 has an amount necessary for maintaining the operation state. The drive unit 24b is controlled to discharge the carbide from the carbide discharge unit 24.

  When the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is completed, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 starts executing the process shown in FIG. 9 again. In this way, the carbonization furnace control unit 29 is configured so that the drive unit 24b rotates the turntable 24a based on the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c and the organic waste accumulation amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d. To control.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 described above, the rotation speed of the turntable 24a is switched between two stages depending on whether or not the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c is equal to or higher than the first carbide temperature Tc1. Other embodiments may be used.
For example, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a may be switched in two or more stages according to the carbide temperature Tc. Further, for example, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a may be controlled so as to be a speed inversely proportional to the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c without switching the rotational speed of the turntable 24a stepwise.

Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the rotation speed of the turntable 24a is switched in two steps depending on whether or not the accumulation amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d is equal to or more than the first accumulation amount Ao1. However, other embodiments may be used.
For example, the rotation speed of the turntable 24a may be switched in a plurality of stages of two or more stages according to the accumulation amount Ao. Further, for example, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a may be controlled so as to be a speed proportional to the accumulation amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d without switching the rotational speed of the turntable 24a stepwise.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a is controlled using both the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c and the accumulation amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d. Other embodiments may be used.
For example, the rotational speed of the turntable 24a may be controlled using either the carbide temperature Tc detected by the temperature sensor 28c or the deposition amount Ao detected by the level sensor 28d.

Next, the pyrolysis furnace 30 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.
FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of the pyrolysis furnace 30 shown in FIG. In FIG. 10, the axis Z indicates the vertical direction (gravity direction) orthogonal to the installation surface (not shown) on which the pyrolysis furnace 30 is installed.

Next, the pyrolysis furnace 30, the temperature reducer 40, the cyclone 50, the steam generator 80, the steam superheater 81, and peripheral devices of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 13.
As shown in FIG. 13, the carbide supply path 101 includes a screw conveyor 101a, a clinker removing device 101b, a belt conveyor 101c, a magnetic separator 101d, a screw conveyor 101e, and a screw conveyor 101f.

  The screw conveyor 101 a is a device that conveys the carbide discharged from the carbonization furnace 20. The screw conveyor 101a accommodates a screw in a linearly extending cylindrical body. The screw conveyor 101a conveys the carbide along the extending direction of the cylinder by rotating the screw inside the cylinder by the driving force of the motor.

The clinker removing device 101b is a device that removes clinker having a particle size of a certain size or more from the carbide discharged from the screw conveyor 101a by a net or the like. The carbide from which the clinker is removed is conveyed to the magnetic separator 101d by the belt conveyor 101c.
The magnetic separator 101d is a device that removes iron scraps such as nails contained in carbide with a magnet. The carbide from which the iron scrap has been removed is supplied to the screw conveyor 101e.

  Each of the screw conveyor 101e and the screw conveyor 101f is a device that conveys carbides. The screw conveyor 101f supplies the carbide to the nitrogen replacement unit 30b included in the pyrolysis furnace 30. In addition, since the structure of the screw conveyor 101e and the screw conveyor 101f is the same as that of the screw conveyor 101a, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The screw conveyor 101e and the screw conveyor 101f carry the carbide to the upper side of the pyrolysis furnace 30 because the carbide is supplied from above the pyrolysis furnace 30 and in the reaction tube 32 of the pyrolysis furnace 30 by its own weight. This is to allow carbide to pass through. By passing the reaction tube 32 of the pyrolysis furnace 30 through the dead weight of the carbide, the entire region from the upper end to the lower end of the reaction tube 32 can be used as a region for promoting the pyrolysis reaction. Further, since the carbide is passed through the reaction tube 32 by its own weight, no special power for moving the carbide is required.

  Carbide is transported in two stages, screw conveyor 101e and screw conveyor 101f, because each screw conveyor requires an expensive motor with a large driving force by reducing the power required to rotate the screw. This is to avoid the above.

The nitrogen replacement device 30b is a device that constitutes the pyrolysis furnace 30, and is a device for replacing oxygen contained in air supplied from the screw conveyor 101f together with carbides with inert nitrogen gas.
The nitrogen purger 30b is disposed on the upper side connected to the screw conveyor 101f and the lower side connected to the reaction tube head 33, and is an electric control valve (for example, a ball valve) whose open / close state is controlled by the control device 90. ).

  The control device 90 supplies carbide to the inside of the nitrogen purger 30b by opening the upper control valve and closing the lower control valve. When the amount of carbide supplied to the inside of the nitrogen purger 30b reaches a certain amount, the control device 90 stops the transportation of the carbide by the screw conveyor 101f and closes the control valve above the nitrogen purger 30b. .

  Nitrogen gas is always supplied to the nitrogen replacer 30b from a device that generates nitrogen gas, such as an air separation device. Therefore, when a certain amount of time has elapsed with the control valves above and below the nitrogen purger 30b closed, the air supplied to the nitrogen purger 30b together with the carbides is discharged to the outside and the interior is replaced with nitrogen gas. It becomes a state.

After the inside of the nitrogen purger 30b has been replaced with nitrogen gas, the control device 90 switches the control valve below the nitrogen purger 30b to the open state to transfer the carbide from the nitrogen purger 30b to the reaction tube head 33. Supply.
After supplying carbide to the reaction tube head 33 from the nitrogen purger 30b, the controller 90 closes the control valve below the nitrogen purger 30b. Further, the control device 90 then opens the control valve above the nitrogen purger 30b and supplies new carbide into the nitrogen purger 30b.

  As described above, the control device 90 controls the opening and closing of the control valves above and below the nitrogen purger 30b, so that the gas supplied to the reaction tube head 33 together with the carbide is nitrogen gas. This nitrogen gas is an inert gas that does not react with the water gas generated in the reaction tube 32. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the air containing oxygen together with the carbide from being supplied to the reaction tube 32 and causing the reaction between oxygen and the water gas to reduce the yield of the water gas.

The char recovery device 41 includes a nitrogen purger 41a and a char recovery unit 41b.
The nitrogen replacer 41a is a device for replacing the water gas supplied from the temperature reducer 40 together with the unreacted portion of the carbide with inert nitrogen gas.
The char recovery unit 41b is an apparatus that recovers an unreacted portion of the carbide and supplies the unreacted component to a nitrogen purger 30b from a supply path (not shown).
The nitrogen purger 41a is disposed on the upper side connected to the temperature reducer 40 and the lower side connected to the char recovery unit 41b, and is an electric control valve (for example, a ball) whose opening / closing state is controlled by the control device 90. Valve).

  The control device 90 supplies unreacted carbide to the inside of the nitrogen purger 41a by opening the upper control valve and closing the lower control valve. When the unreacted amount of the carbide supplied into the nitrogen purger 41a reaches a certain amount, the control device 90 closes the control valve above the nitrogen purger 41a.

  Nitrogen gas is always supplied to the nitrogen purger 41a from a device that generates nitrogen gas such as an air separation device. Therefore, when the upper and lower control valves of the nitrogen purger 41a are closed and a certain time elapses, the water gas supplied into the nitrogen purger 41a together with the unreacted portion of the carbide is discharged to the outside, and the interior is filled with nitrogen. The gas is replaced. The water gas discharged from the nitrogen purger 41a is supplied to the flare stack 71.

After the inside of the nitrogen purger 41a is replaced with nitrogen gas, the control device 90 switches the control valve below the nitrogen purger 41a to the open state, and the carbide is transferred from the nitrogen purger 41a to the char recovery unit 41b. The unreacted portion is supplied.
After supplying the unreacted portion of the carbide from the nitrogen purger 41a to the char recovery unit 41b, the control device 90 closes the control valve below the nitrogen purger 41a. In addition, the control device 90 then opens the control valve above the nitrogen purger 41a and supplies new unreacted carbon carbide into the nitrogen purger 41a.

  As described above, the control device 90 controls the opening and closing of the control valves above and below the nitrogen purger 41a, so that the water gas supplied to the char recovery unit 41b together with the unreacted carbide is supplied to the char recovery unit 41b. It is prevented from being supplied.

The residue collection device 51 includes a nitrogen purger 51a and a residue collection unit 51b.
The nitrogen replacer 51a is a device for replacing the water gas supplied from the cyclone 50 together with the residue with inert nitrogen gas.
The residue collection unit 51b is a device that collects the residue discharged from the nitrogen purger 51a.

  The nitrogen purger 51a is disposed on each of an upper side connected to the cyclone 50 and a lower side connected to the residue recovery unit 51b, and an electric control valve (for example, a ball valve) whose open / close state is controlled by the control device 90. Have Nitrogen gas is always supplied to the nitrogen replacer 51a from a device that generates nitrogen gas such as an air separation device.

  The control device 90 controls the control valve of the nitrogen purger 51a in the same manner as the control valve of the nitrogen purger 41a, and prevents water gas from being supplied to the residue recovery unit 51b. . The method by which the control device 90 controls the control valve of the nitrogen purger 51a is the same as the method by which the control device 90 controls the control valve of the nitrogen purger 41a, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

The steam generator 80 includes a steam generation unit 80a and a steam circulation tank 80b.
The steam generation unit 80a includes a heat transfer tube (not shown) that circulates water that exchanges heat with the combustion gas, and a jacket (not shown) that is provided in a cylindrical body that is formed so as to cover the heat transfer tube. Abbreviation). Water is supplied to the heat transfer tube and the jacket from the steam circulation tank 80b.

The steam circulation tank 80b is supplied with water from the water supply device 82 and supplies water to the heat transfer tube and the jacket of the steam generation unit 80a. The hot water heated by the jacket and the steam generated by heating the heat transfer tube with the combustion gas are respectively collected in the steam circulation tank 80b.
The steam circulation tank 80b supplies the steam (saturated steam) supplied from the heat transfer tube of the steam generating unit 80a to the steam superheater 81.

Next, the dryer 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail using FIG.
The dryer 10 is a dryer of a type called a rotary kiln, and includes a combustion gas introduction unit 10b, a rotating body 10c, and a discharge unit 10d.
The combustion gas introduction part 10b introduces the combustion gas supplied from the combustion gas flow path 200d into the dryer 10 and introduces the introduced combustion gas into the rotary body 10c.

The rotating body 10c is a cylindrical member formed in a direction extending along the axis W, and rotates about the axis W by being given rotational power by a drive motor.
Moreover, organic waste is supplied into the inside of the rotary body 10c from the raw material supply path 11a. The organic waste supplied to the inside of the rotating body 10c is guided toward the discharge unit 10d while being dried by the combustion gas guided from the combustion gas introduction unit 10b.
The organic waste is directly heated by the combustion gas while being stirred by the rotation of the rotating body 10c, and is conveyed by the flow of the combustion gas from one end to the other end of the rotating body 10c.

The discharge unit 10d collects the organic waste dried while being conveyed by the rotating body 10c and supplies it to the raw material supply path 10a. The organic waste supplied to the raw material supply path 10 a is supplied to the carbonization furnace 20 via the hopper 12.
Further, the discharge unit 10d supplies the combustion gas introduced from the combustion gas introduction unit 10b through the inside of the rotating body 10c to the combustion gas channel 200e. The combustion gas supplied to the combustion gas flow path 200e is supplied to the exhaust gas cooling and cleaning device 13.

The operation and effects of the present embodiment described above will be described.
In the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment, the organic waste is introduced from the input portion 23 into the gap 20a formed between the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main body portion 21 and the outer peripheral surface 22a of the cylindrical portion 22, and the primary air Organic waste is partially combusted by the primary combustion air supplied from the supply unit 25 to the gap 20a. In the normal operation state of the carbonization furnace 20, the organic waste thrown from the throwing part 23 is accumulated in the gap 20a between the main body part 21 and the cylindrical part 22 from the bottom along the axis X to the top. .

The upper layer side of the gap 20a is a primary combustion region R2 in which organic waste is partially burned by the primary combustion air. In the primary combustion region R2, the organic waste is partially combusted by the primary combustion air, and a solid content containing a large amount of carbide and a combustion gas containing a combustible gas are generated.
On the other hand, the organic waste on the lower layer side of the gap 20a is blocked by the organic waste on the upper layer side, and becomes a carbide refining / cooling region R1 in which a solid content containing a large amount of carbide is refined and cooled. In the carbide refining / cooling region R1, the solid content containing a large amount of carbide is refined while being further carbonized in a state where the oxygen concentration is low, and is gradually extinguished as it approaches the lower end of the gap 20a. Thereby, the carbide | carbonized_material discharged | emitted from the lower end of the gap | interval 20a is cooled.

When external air (atmosphere) is used as the primary combustion air supplied to the primary combustion region R2, the external air is lower than the atmospheric temperature in the primary combustion region R2, and therefore the primary combustion region R2 is caused by the external air. There is a possibility that the atmospheric temperature will decrease, and the carbonization efficiency of the organic waste will decrease.
Therefore, the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment heats the air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a by the heat radiating fins 25e, and supplies the heated air to the gap 20a from the air supply port 25c. Since the air supplied to the gap 20a is heated by the radiating fins 25e, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the ambient temperature of the primary combustion region R2 as compared with the case where no air supplied to the gap 20a is heated. .
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the carbonization furnace 20 capable of improving the carbonization efficiency of organic waste while supplying external air as combustion air for organic waste.

Moreover, the primary air supply part 25 of the carbonization furnace 20 of this embodiment forms the closed space 25d extended around the axis line X between the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main-body part 21 while being arrange | positioned at the outer peripheral side of the gap | interval 20a. It has a cover part 25b. Air introduced from the outside by the primary combustion fan 25a is blown into the closed space 25d, and the air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a is heated in the closed space 25d.
Therefore, since the inside of the closed space 25d is sufficiently heated by the radiation fins 25e and the air is heated in the closed space 25d, the air can be efficiently heated and supplied from the air supply port 25c to the gap 20a.

  In addition, the radiation fins 25 e of the primary air supply unit 25 of the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment are heat transfer members that transfer the ambient temperature of the gap 20 a through the outer peripheral surface 21 e of the main body 21. For this reason, according to the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment, the primary combustion fan 25a is connected to the outside using the atmospheric temperature of the gap 20a of the carbonization furnace 20 without using a dedicated heating source for heating the closed space 25d. The air introduced from can be heated.

Moreover, the radiation fin 25e of the primary air supply part 25 of the carbonization furnace 20 of this embodiment is arrange | positioned below the air supply port 25c. Since the air supply port 25c supplies air toward the gap 20a, the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 below the air supply port 25c is a region where the ambient temperature of the gap 20a is transferred. Therefore, the atmospheric temperature of the gap 20a is also transferred to the heat radiating fins 25e via the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21.
Therefore, the air introduced from the outside by the primary combustion fan 25a can be efficiently heated by the radiating fins 25e and supplied to the gap 20a from the air supply port 25c.

  In addition, the primary combustion fan 25a of the primary air supply unit 25 of the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment receives air introduced from the outside toward the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 located on the outer peripheral side below the gap 20a. I try to blow. Below the gap 20a is a carbide refining / cooling region R1 in which a solid content containing a large amount of carbides generated by the combustion of organic waste is refined and cooled. For this reason, it is desirable to maintain a relatively low temperature below the gap 20a. According to this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 located on the outer peripheral side below the gap 20a is cooled by the air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a. Therefore, the lower part of the gap 20a can be maintained at a relatively low temperature.

Moreover, in the carbonization furnace 20 of this embodiment, in the position where the radiation fin 25e is arrange | positioned rather than the distance D1 from the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main-body part 21 in the position where the air supply port 25c is arrange | positioned to the outer peripheral surface 21e. The distance D2 from the inner peripheral surface 21d of the main body 21e to the outer peripheral surface 21e is shorter.
For this reason, the ambient temperature of the gap 20a is more easily transmitted at the position where the radiation fin 25e is disposed. Therefore, the atmospheric temperature of the gap 20a can be more efficiently transmitted to the radiating fin 25e, and the air introduced from the outside by the primary combustion fan 25a can be heated to a higher temperature.

Further, in the carbonization furnace 20 of the present embodiment, the radiating fins 25e are formed in an annular shape that contacts the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body 21 and extends around the axis X along the outer peripheral surface 21e. It is provided at multiple locations.
Since the radiation fins 25b are provided at a plurality of locations along the axis X, a plurality of air flow paths extending along the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main body portion 21 are formed between the adjacent radiation fins 25e. Since this air flow path is formed by the radiation fins 25e, the air flowing through the air flow path can be efficiently heated.

Moreover, in the carbonization furnace 20 of this embodiment, the radiation fin 25e contacts the outer peripheral surface 21e of the main-body part 21, and turns around the axis X along the outer peripheral surface 21e from the downward to the upper direction. May be formed.
By forming the spiral flow path, the air blown by the primary combustion fan 25a is guided to the air supply port 25c while turning from below to above around the axis X along the outer peripheral surface 21e. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently heat the air flowing through the air flow path formed by the radiation fins 25e while smoothly flowing the air.
