Description
本發明,關於使氨與煤粉燃燒的鍋爐、鍋爐控制方法、及鍋爐改造方法。 本案是基於2021年9月9日在日本國特許廳申請的特願2021-146609號、2021年12月10日在日本國特許廳申請的特願2021-200928號來主張優先權,將其內容引用於此。 The present invention relates to a boiler for burning ammonia and pulverized coal, a boiler control method, and a boiler modification method. This case claims priority based on Special Application No. 2021-146609 filed on September 9, 2021 at the Japan Patent Office and Special Application No. 2021-200928 filed on December 10, 2021 at the Japan Patent Office, and the contents thereof are hereby cited.
以往,已知有將氨作為燃料來供給至火爐內的鍋爐。將氨作為燃料來使用的情況,有必要抑制氮氧化物(NOx)的排出。例如,在專利文獻1所揭示之噴燃器(圖2所示),在投入氨的噴嘴設置從周圍旋繞來供給氨的噴嘴(記載中寫亦可不旋繞),來使氨混合於旋繞煤粉火炎。此外還揭示如下。亦即,設置在火爐並可將氨作為燃料來燃燒的燃燒裝置4A,具備:內筒噴嘴41,其從燃料的噴射方向觀看是配置在中心部並噴射氨;以及外筒噴嘴42,其從燃料的噴射方向觀看是從徑方向外側包圍內筒噴嘴41來配置並對內筒噴嘴41的周圍噴射氨。且具備旋繞器45,其配置在外筒噴嘴42的內部,使噴射至內筒噴嘴41之周圍的氨的流動旋繞。根據專利文獻1,從內筒噴嘴41噴射的氨,從燃料的噴射方向觀看是在火炎的中央部形成氨濃度較高且氧濃度較低的還原區域。另一方面,從外筒噴嘴噴射至內筒噴嘴之周圍的氨與氧混合而燃燒所產生的氮氧化物,是從火炎的外緣朝向中央回流而順著循環流供給至還原區域。其結果,在火炎的外緣產生的氮氧化物,會在藉由從內筒噴嘴噴射的氨而形成的還原區域被還原而成為氮氣(N2)。因此,根據專利文獻1,在可將氨作為燃料來燃燒的鍋爐,可抑制氮氧化物的增加。
[先前技術文獻]
[專利文獻]
In the past, there is a known boiler that supplies ammonia as fuel to the furnace. When ammonia is used as fuel, it is necessary to suppress the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). For example, in the burner disclosed in Patent Document 1 (shown in FIG. 2 ), a nozzle that rotates around the nozzle that feeds ammonia is provided (it is stated that it may not rotate) to mix ammonia with the rotating coal powder flame. In addition, the following is disclosed. That is, the

[發明所欲解決之問題][The problem the invention is trying to solve]
就發明者們的觀點來看,為了抑制氮氧化物的排出量,氨燃料噴燃器,是使用其他燃料來使鍋爐內的燃燒環境成為還原區域,並正確地控制著火點附近的空氣比為佳。但是,專利文獻1並沒有具體揭示出這種構造。
且,以專利文獻1所示之噴燃器來使氨混合燃燒之際,若使氨的混合燃燒(混燒)率增加的話,煤炭噴嘴的空氣比會增加。在煤炭噴嘴為了防止噴嘴內的煤炭沈降,必須要保持一定的搬送用空氣量,若使氨混燒率增加的話供炭量就會降低,故相對地搬送用空氣量對於煤炭流量會增加。藉此,在氨高混燒率時,氨噴嘴周圍的空氣比會變高,會發生氨氧化導致之氮氧化物的急遽增加。
From the inventors' point of view, in order to suppress the emission of nitrogen oxides, it is better to use other fuels to make the combustion environment in the boiler into a reducing zone and correctly control the air ratio near the ignition point. However,

在使煤炭或氨等含氮燃料燃燒的情況,關於氮氧化物的發生一般是燃燒時的空氣比影響較大。在此,使氨燃料與其他燃料混合燃燒的情況,在以下說明:作為比較例計算火爐全體為單一空氣比的情況、作為實施例計算氨燃料與作為其他燃料之含碳燃料之各自的空氣比的情況。
(比較例)
比較例的空氣比,是對火爐20的空氣供給量對於為了使供給至火爐20的氨燃料與其他燃料燃燒而必要的理論空氣量之比。上述對火爐20的空氣供給量不包含追加空氣(額外空氣)。也就是說,在本例,構成氨混燒條件(詳細待留後述)的空氣比,是供給至火爐20的所有空氣之中追加空氣以外之空氣所佔有之供給比率乘上全空氣比的值。具體來說,構成氨混燒條件的空氣比(以下有時稱為噴燃器部空氣比),是由以下的式(1)所規定。
式(1)中,λ
b是噴燃器部空氣比,λ是全空氣比,AA是對鍋爐2的全空氣供給量之中追加空氣的供給比率。
且,全空氣比(λ),是由式(2)、式(3)、及式(4)所規定。
式(2)~式(4)中,Q
Air是全空氣供給量。且,Q
mf,是在火爐20內進行之燃燒為氨混合燃燒(以重量換算的混燒率:X%)時之氨燃料與其他燃料(本例為含碳燃料)的供給量。Q
x,是在該混合燃燒時用來使空氣比成為1的空氣流量。A
mf,是上述混合燃燒進行時之燃料(本例為氨燃料與含碳燃料)的理論空氣量,A
car,是含碳燃料的理論空氣量,A
NH3,是氨燃料的理論空氣量。
(實施例)
在實施例,是依照燃料分別計算:供給至氨燃料的氨燃燒用空氣量對於供給至火爐20之氨燃料的理論空氣量的比亦即氨空氣比、供給至其他燃料之燃燒用空氣量對於其他燃料之理論空氣量的比亦即其他燃料用空氣比。
氨空氣比(以後亦會稱為氨噴燃器空氣比)是由式(5)、式(6)所求得。
在此,式(5)的λ
NH3是氨空氣比,Q
Air_NH3是氨燃燒用空氣量,Q
x_NH3,是用來使氨燃料的空氣比成為1的空氣流量。且,式(6)的Q
NH3是氨燃料的供給量,A
NH3是氨燃料的理論空氣量。
且,作為其他燃料以含碳燃料為例的話,含碳燃料的空氣比是由式(7)、式(8)所求得。
在此,式(7)的λ
car是含碳燃料的空氣比,Q
Air_car是含碳燃料的燃燒用空氣量,Q
x_car是用來使含碳燃料空氣比成為1的空氣流量。且,式(8)的Q
car是含碳燃料的供給量,A
car是含碳燃料的理論空氣量。
如本實施例般,個別計算氨空氣比λ
NH3與含碳燃料的空氣比λ
car,藉此可個別調整。例如,在使用有氨噴燃器306與煤粉噴燃器302的鍋爐2(參照圖3B),針對氨噴燃器306的空氣比適用式(5)、(6),針對煤粉噴燃器302的空氣比適用式(7)、(8)。換言之,該情況在式(7)、式(8)所示之含碳燃料的參數,均成為煤粉的參數。
在這之後,空氣比是指本實施例所計算出來者。
When nitrogen-containing fuels such as coal or ammonia are burned, the air ratio during combustion generally has a greater impact on the generation of nitrogen oxides. Here, the case where ammonia fuel is mixed with other fuels and burned is described below: as a comparative example, a case where the entire furnace is calculated to have a single air ratio, and as an implementation example, a case where the air ratios of ammonia fuel and carbon-containing fuel as other fuels are calculated. (Comparative example) The air ratio of the comparative example is the ratio of the air supply amount to the
在一實施形態,將煤炭噴燃器302與氨噴燃器306如旋繞燃燒鍋爐之例亦即圖3A~圖3C所示般分別設置(圖3A表示設置氨噴燃器306之前的改造前鍋爐)。藉此,可個別調整空氣比,即使提升氨的混燒率,亦可無關煤炭噴燃器的運用使氨的空氣比降低,抑制NOx的急遽增加。
又,本實施形態的煤炭噴燃器302,是構成為使煤炭(煤粉)燃燒。在以下的說明,有著煤炭噴燃器302是指煤粉噴燃器302的情況。
In one embodiment, the
在一實施形態,噴燃器部空氣比的上限值為0.8以下。在噴燃器部空氣比為0.8以下的條件下開始對火爐20供給氨燃料的話,氨燃料之燃燒開始時的噴燃器部空氣比也會在0.8以下。藉此,有效降低在火爐20內產生的NOx。
噴燃器部空氣比的上限值為0.7以下亦可。該情況時,在空氣比為0.7以下的條件下開始氨燃料的燃燒,而抑制過度產生NOx。
又,在火力發電廠所使用之具有一般規模的鍋爐2,噴燃器部空氣比未達0.6並不現實。於是,構成在氨燃料的供給開始前應滿足的條件亦即氨混燒條件的噴燃器部空氣比,較佳為0.6以上且0.8以下,更佳為0.6以上且0.7以下。
又,在複數設置氨噴燃器306的情況,各氨噴燃器306單位,是計算氨空氣比λ
NH3為佳。如後述般,由於氨空氣比會導致NOx發生量大幅變化,故需要以噴燃器單位來嚴密地計算氨空氣比,藉此可控制氨燃料、氨燃燒用空氣的供給量。
煤炭噴燃器302亦同樣地以各煤炭噴燃器302單位來計算含碳燃料的空氣比λ
car(煤炭空氣比)而可精度良好地控制NOx發生量為佳。
In one embodiment, the upper limit of the burner air ratio is 0.8 or less. If the ammonia fuel is supplied to the
一實施形態之鍋爐2的構成要件亦即控制裝置5(參照圖9),是藉由從氨噴燃器306(參照圖3B、圖3C)供給的空氣量、從鄰接於氨噴燃器306的輔助空氣噴嘴303、305供給的空氣量,來計算氨空氣比。從輔助空氣噴嘴303、305供給的空氣量,是僅將有助於氨燃燒的空氣量作為氨燃燒用空氣量來計算,例如圖3B、圖3C所示般,輔助空氣噴嘴303,是鄰接於氨噴燃器306與煤炭噴燃器302而被包夾的情況,將其空氣量的一半計算為氨噴燃器用空氣。
在NOx發生量比基準值還高的情況,進行使氨噴燃器空氣比例如從0.7降低至到0.6等的控制。表示圖5A所示之氨噴燃器空氣比與NOx之發生量的例子。在該試驗結果,氨噴燃器空氣比的最佳點為0.6。若使氨噴燃器空氣比降至比0.6還低則NOx會增加,故即使降至0.6,NOx發生量亦無法下降的情況,是未燃氨到達與追加空氣供給區域22大致相同高度的火爐內空間亦即燃燒完結區域,而轉換成NOx。因此,使氨噴燃器空氣比保持在0.6,使追加空氣(額外空氣)量對於投入鍋爐2之空氣量全體的比率降低,減少到達燃燒完結區域的未燃氨量,藉此謀求降低在燃燒完結區域發生的NOx。
The control device 5 (see FIG. 9 ), which is a component of the
氨噴燃器306,如圖3A~圖3C所示般,取代(改造)煤炭噴燃器304的一部分來設置。從煤炭噴燃器304噴射的煤粉,鄰接於氨噴燃器306,從設置有啟動用燃料噴燃器307的輔助空氣噴嘴303來供給輔助空氣。該設置有啟動用燃料噴燃器307的輔助空氣噴嘴303,具備風門,其可調整可對氨噴燃器306的方向供給之輔助空氣之量(可供給對火爐12內噴射之氨燃料的輔助空氣之量)。
在供給輔助空氣的空氣噴嘴(輔助空氣噴嘴)303被煤炭噴燃器302與氨噴燃器306包夾之構造的情況,若將從該噴嘴供給之空氣量調整成最適合煤炭噴燃器302之空氣量的話,對於用來使氨噴燃器306的氮氧化物降低的空氣量來說會成為過多。反之,若調整成用來使氨噴燃器的NOx降低之空氣量的話,煤炭噴燃器302之最佳空氣比的空氣量會不足,導致灰中未燃成分的增加。
在此點,本實施形態,是將被煤炭噴燃器302與氨噴燃器306包夾的輔助空氣噴嘴303,伴隨著鍋爐2的改造而在上下分割成流路303A與303B,且可藉由風門來控制各自的流量(參照圖3C、圖4)。藉此,可個別調整朝向煤炭噴燃器302與氨噴燃器306的空氣量。換言之,可個別調整:對於從煤炭噴燃器302噴射之煤粉來供給的空氣量、對於從氨噴燃器306噴射之氨燃料來供給的空氣量。煤炭噴燃器空氣比為0.7~0.9左右。
可個別調整來自輔助空氣噴嘴303之流路303A、303B的空氣流量,藉此可抑制煤炭噴燃器之灰中未燃成分增加、抑制氨噴燃器的NOx增加。且,將煤炭噴燃器304改造成氨噴燃器306,藉此可將既有的煤炭專燒用的鍋爐2變更成燃燒氨燃料的鍋爐2。
又,如圖3所示般,鄰接於煤炭噴燃器302來配置氨噴燃器306,藉此可將煤炭燃燒的熱活用於氨燃燒,可使氨穩定燃燒。
且,基於供給至氨噴燃器306的氨供給量與燃燒用空氣的供給量,來計算從鍋爐2排出之燃燒氣體所含的NOx產生量,對應計算結果來設定第一基準範圍亦可。或是,基於設在鍋爐2之用來測量NOx濃度的測量裝置的測量結果,來設定第一基準範圍亦可。
The
本發明之至少一實施形態的鍋爐2,如圖6A~圖6C所示般,具有使啟動用燃料燃燒的啟動用燃料噴燃器307,前述氨噴燃器306,可將啟動用燃料噴燃器307的一部分予以取代(改造)來設置。該氨噴燃器306,含有用來噴射氨的氨噴嘴306A。氨噴嘴306A,亦作為噴射啟動用燃料(具體的一例為油)的啟動用燃料噴嘴來發揮功能。在鍋爐2的啟動時,氨噴嘴306A噴射啟動用燃料,之後,對應氨混燒條件的滿足而噴射氨。又,在其他實施形態,啟動用燃料噴嘴,是構成為與氨噴嘴306A不同的噴嘴,且,與氨噴嘴306A設置在相同區間內亦可。
在將啟動用燃料噴燃器307改造成氨噴燃器306的情況,鄰接於煤炭噴燃器302、304之單側的空氣噴嘴303就會消失,無法充分確保朝向煤炭噴燃器302的輔助空氣量。
因此,對於氨噴燃器306在相反之側的輔助空氣噴嘴301、305,使來自這邊的空氣量分別地增加,藉此使煤炭噴燃器302、304的空氣比成為適當值0.7~0.9。在本實施形態,僅將從氨噴燃器306供給的空氣用在氨空氣比的計算。
藉由煤炭噴燃器302、304的空氣比適當化,可抑制煤炭噴燃器302、304之灰中未燃成分的增加。
The
本發明之至少一實施形態的鍋爐2,如圖7A、圖7B所示般,具有供給輔助空氣的複數個輔助空氣噴嘴301、305,氨噴燃器306,是將前述輔助空氣噴嘴301、305的一部分予以取代來設置。在圖7B之例,取代輔助空氣噴嘴305而設有氨噴燃器306。
與啟動用燃料噴燃器307之改造的情況同樣地,煤炭噴燃器304之單側的輔助空氣噴嘴305會消失,藉此煤炭噴燃器304的空氣量會不足。且,在輔助空氣噴嘴305的區間高度較低的情況,難以安裝具有保炎器的氨噴燃器306。
將與鄰接於煤炭噴燃器304的氨噴燃器306相反之側的設置有啟動用燃料噴燃器307的噴嘴作為輔助空氣噴嘴303來使用而增加該空氣量,藉此調節成既定的空氣量。此時,如圖7B所示般,在煤炭噴燃器304,輔助空氣噴嘴303會變成單側,但上側的煤炭噴燃器302是在上下有輔助空氣噴嘴301、303,藉此使啟動用油噴燃器的空氣流路在上下分割成流路303A、303B,而可僅在下側流路303B增加空氣量,可在風門控制各自的流量,可使煤炭噴燃器304的空氣比各自最佳化,藉此可抑制灰中未燃成分的增加。
改造前的鍋爐2中,在設置有輔助空氣噴嘴305的風箱高度,比煤炭噴燃器302或啟動用燃料噴燃器307的高度還低的情況,是無保炎器地來設置風箱高度較低的氨噴燃器306。例如使用圖13之預混合式的接頭噴嘴等。
The
本發明之至少一實施形態的鍋爐2,如圖8A、圖8B所示般,是將配置在噴燃器配置區域21之最上段的前述輔助空氣噴嘴301予以取代(改造)來設置氨噴燃器306。氨噴燃器306,鄰接於煤炭噴燃器302來設置。
與在輔助空氣噴嘴305設置氨噴燃器306的前例相同,煤炭噴燃器302之單側的輔助空氣噴嘴301會消失,藉此煤炭噴燃器302的空氣量會不足。且,在輔助空氣噴嘴301的區間高度較低的情況,難以安裝具有保炎器的氨噴燃器306。將啟動用燃料噴燃器307的空氣流路於上下分割成流路303A、303B,可個別地控制流路303A、303B,且風箱高度較低的情況,是無保炎器地來設置風箱高度較低的氨噴嘴亦即部分預混合噴嘴(參照圖13)。
該情況時,氨不僅是作為燃料,還可作為脫硝劑來利用。
In at least one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B , the
前述實施例所使用之噴燃器,是使用擴散燃燒式噴燃器或部分預混合燃燒式噴燃器(亦稱為接頭噴燃器)。在擴散燃燒噴燃器,作為保炎器可使用旋流器式、擴散器式。在圖13表示部分預混合接頭噴燃器之構造圖的例子,在圖14表示擴散器噴燃器之構造圖的例子,在圖15表示旋流噴燃器之構造圖的例子。
在圖13表示接頭噴燃器的例子。接頭噴燃器,是由對風箱131的內部供給氨的噴嘴132與外筒133所構成。燃燒用空氣是從風箱131供給,在風箱131的上游側設置有流量調整用的風門。氨是噴射至外筒133內部,與從噴嘴132與外筒133的間隙流入的燃燒用空氣預先混合並噴射至爐內。氨是在混合成適合藉由爐內的高溫氣體而著火之空氣量的時間點會自然著火。氨與空氣是一部分預混合,故在噴嘴全體的吹出流速與預混合過的氨與空氣的燃燒速度成為一致的點形成著火點。
在圖14表示擴散器噴燃器之構造圖的例子。在風箱141的內部,設置氨噴嘴142並將圓板狀的保炎器143(亦稱為擴散器)設置在氨噴嘴142的前端。氨從設置在氨噴嘴142的複數個孔142A噴射(圖中表示兩個孔142A)。燃燒空氣是從風箱141供給,在上游側設置有調整流量的風門。燃燒用空氣會在保炎器143的周圍加速流動,故在圓板的保炎器143的外周部形成渦流。該渦流會捲入氨來與空氣混合而著火,故著火點形成在保炎器143上。
在圖15表示旋流噴燃器之構造圖的例子。在風箱151的內部,設置氨噴嘴152並將具有旋繞葉片的保炎器153(亦稱為旋流器)設置在氨噴嘴152的前端。氨從設置在氨噴嘴152的複數個孔152A噴射(圖中表示兩個孔152A)。燃燒用空氣是從風箱151供給,在上游側設置有調整流量的風門。燃燒用空氣在通過保炎器153之際是藉由旋繞葉片而成為旋繞流在氨噴嘴152的外周流動。藉由旋繞流來使循環流發生在旋繞流的內部故氨與循環流會混合並著火。因此,氨火炎的著火點會形成在保炎器153的下游側附近。
The burner used in the above-mentioned embodiment is a diffuse combustion burner or a partially premixed combustion burner (also called a joint burner). In the diffuse combustion burner, a swirler type or a diffuser type can be used as a flame protector. FIG13 shows an example of a structural diagram of a partially premixed joint burner, FIG14 shows an example of a structural diagram of a diffuser burner, and FIG15 shows an example of a structural diagram of a swirl burner.
FIG13 shows an example of a joint burner. The joint burner is composed of a
圖16,是表示本發明之鍋爐改造方法的流程圖。如使用圖3C、圖6C、圖7B、圖8B所說明般,改造前的鍋爐2,具備:煤粉噴燃器302;以及複數個噴射部,其噴射煤粉、例如亦可為油的啟動用燃料、或是輔助空氣。各噴射部,是煤炭噴燃器304、啟動用燃料噴燃器307、或輔助空氣噴嘴301、303。然後,圖16所示之S11,表示將該噴射部取代成氨噴燃器306的工程。藉由執行S11,例如可將進行煤炭專燒之既有的鍋爐2,改造成使氨燃料燃燒用的鍋爐2。FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing the boiler modification method of the present invention. As described using FIG. 3C , FIG. 6C , FIG. 7B , and FIG. 8B , the
一實施形態的鍋爐控制方法(參照圖10B),是在鍋爐2中控制氨燃料、煤粉及燃燒用空氣的供給量,該鍋爐2含有:含有火爐壁19的火爐20、設在前述火爐壁19且使前述氨燃料燃燒的氨噴燃器306、設在前述火爐壁19之與前述氨噴燃器306不同的位置且使前述煤粉燃燒的煤粉噴燃器302、304,該控制方法,具備:第一計算步驟(S10-1),其算出對前述氨燃料供給之氨燃燒用空氣量對於用來使前述氨燃料燃燒所必要之理論空氣量的比亦即氨空氣比;第二計算步驟(S10-2),其算出對前述煤粉供給之煤粉燃燒用空氣量對於用來使前述煤粉燃燒所必要之理論空氣量的比亦即煤粉空氣比;以及控制步驟(S10-3),其控制前述供給量來使前述氨空氣比滿足第一基準範圍且前述煤粉空氣比滿足第二基準範圍。
氨空氣比之第一基準範圍的上限值,設定成比煤粉空氣比之第二基準範圍的上限值還小為佳。為了NOx排出量最小化之空氣比的最佳值在氨燃料的情況是0.6左右,是比煤粉的情況(通常0.7~0.8左右)還小。參考該最佳值,來設定基準範圍的上限值,藉此容易使NOx排出量最小化。
A boiler control method according to an embodiment (see FIG. 10B ) is to control the supply amount of ammonia fuel, pulverized coal and combustion air in a

一實施形態的處理器91,是產生以下指令:使氨燃料以外之其他燃料在火爐20內燃燒用的其他燃料燃燒指令、使供給系統15開始氨燃料之供給用的氨供給開始指令、使氨的專用燃燒在火爐20內開始用的氨專燒開始指令。在一實施形態,該等控制指令被送到供給系統15。
一實施形態的處理器91,在基於測量系統9的測量結果判定用來開始氨混燒的氨混燒條件滿足的情況,產生氨供給開始指令。且,一實施形態的處理器91,在判斷使氨的專用燃燒開始用的氨專燒條件被滿足的情況,開始氨專燒指令。氨專燒條件,例如有:火爐20內的代表溫度到達規定的溫度時、從氨混燒開始之後經過規定時間時、在操作員進行規定的輸入操作之後到達既定的設定值時、或該等的組合等。
FIG9 is a specific structure of a

The
一實施形態的油供給系統80,具備:油供給裝置81、將油供給裝置81與氨噴燃器306予以連接的油供給管線82、用來調整流動於油供給管線82之油之流量的油流量調整閥86、以及用來切換油供給管線82之連通狀態的切換閥88。本例之油供給管線82,是連接於第2噴燃器單元32與第3噴燃器單元33的各個氨噴燃器306。
在一實施形態,油供給裝置81、油流量調整閥86、及切換閥88,是因應來自控制裝置5的控制指令來運作。藉此,油供給系統80,可在對連接於油供給管線82的氨噴燃器306供給油的供給狀態與停止油之供給的供給停止狀態之間變化。
又,在其他的實施形態,油供給管線82,是與用來噴射油的啟動用燃料噴燃器37連接亦可。且,油供給管線82,是供霧化蒸氣流入亦可。該情況時,使油與霧化蒸氣供給至噴燃器單元30。

測量系統9,含有:用來測量藉由一次空氣供給系統110來供給之一次空氣之流量的空氣流量計114、用來測量藉由追加空氣供給系統120來供給之追加空氣之流量的空氣流量計124、用來測量藉由氨供給系統100來供給之氨燃料之流量的氨流量計109、用來測量藉由油供給系統80來供給之油之流量的油流量計84、用來測量藉由煤粉供給系統70來供給之煤粉之流量的煤粉流量計74、以及上述的火爐溫度計6。
該等流量計將測量結果送到處理器91。
The measuring
鍋爐運轉系統1,藉由從處理器91送來的控制指令,例如像圖10A所示的流程圖那樣運作。
首先,由處理器91對供給系統15傳送其他燃料燃燒指令(S51)。藉此,一次空氣供給系統110與追加空氣供給系統120各自供給空氣。此時,氨供給系統100是供給停止狀態,油供給系統80與煤粉供給系統70亦均為供給狀態。於是,對噴燃器單元30供給油與煤粉。此時,第1噴燃器單元31的氨噴燃器306是停止,第2噴燃器單元32與第3噴燃器單元33的氨噴燃器306噴射油。在火爐12的內部,使油與煤粉燃燒。
之後,由於滿足氨混燒條件(S53:YES),而由處理器91對供給系統15傳送氨供給開始指令(S55)。油供給系統80變化成供給停止狀態,氨供給系統100變化成供給狀態。藉此,第1噴燃器單元31噴射液體氨,從第2噴燃器單元32與第3噴燃器單元33噴射的燃料從油切換成液體氨。煤粉供給系統70維持供給狀態。結果,在鍋爐2進行氨與煤粉的混合燃燒。
之後,由於滿足氨專燒條件(S57:YES),控制裝置5對供給系統15傳送氨專燒指令(S59)。煤粉供給系統70變化成供給停止狀態,作為煤噴燃器來運作的噴燃器會停止。且,氨供給系統100增加液體氨的供給量。結果,在鍋爐2進行氨的專用燃燒。
又,在其他實施形態,從處理器91接收到其他燃料燃燒指令的供給系統15,是先將油供給至噴燃器單元30之後,才將油及煤粉供給至噴燃器單元30亦可。且,在氨供給開始指令被送到供給系統15之後,進行氨燃料與油的混合燃燒亦可,進行氨燃料、煤粉、及油的混合燃燒亦可。
The
圖10B,是表示一實施形態之NOx控制處理的流程圖。NOx控制處理,是在氨燃料與其他燃料(本例為煤粉)混合燃燒的情況下抑制NOx發生量的控制方法。
在NOx控制處理,首先,處理器91讀取鍋爐負載、氨混燒率(更具體的一例為氨與煤粉的混燒率)(S61)。讀取是處理器91接收要求指令而執行。
處理器91,執行第一計算(S10-1),其計算供給至氨燃料的氨燃燒用空氣量對於用來使氨燃料燃燒所必要之空氣量的比亦即氨空氣比。氨空氣比的計算方法是如同上述。
接著,處理器91執行第二計算(S10-2),其計算供給至煤粉的煤粉燃燒用空氣量對於用來使煤粉燃燒所必要之理論空氣量的比亦即煤粉空氣比。含碳燃料之空氣比的一例亦即煤粉空氣比(λ
car)的計算方法是如同上述。
接著,處理器91控制氨燃料、煤粉、及燃燒用空氣各自的供給量(S10-3),來使在S10-1計算的氨空氣比滿足第一基準範圍,且使在S10-2計算的煤粉空氣比滿足第二基準範圍。作為更詳細的一例,處理器91,是分別控制液體氨的流量調整閥108、煤粉流量調整閥76、及1次空氣的流量調整閥116。
處理器91,判斷氨混燒是否結束(S63)。在氨混燒執行的期間(S63:NO),處理器91是依序反覆執行S10-1、S10-2、及S10-3。在判斷氨混燒結束的情況(S63:YES),處理器91結束NOx控制處理。

Air_NH3)。取出所算出之氨噴燃器306的燃燒用空氣量與氨噴燃器306的燃燒用空氣量(測量值)之差,以控制裝置5求出氨噴燃器燃燒空氣量指令值。
FIG10C shows the control logic of the air quantity of coal and ammonia. The
將對向燃燒噴燃器之情況之氨噴燃器的配置示於圖11A~圖11E。對向燃燒,是從一台煤炭粉碎機對於在各壁面設置成水平方向的噴燃器供給煤粉,故在氨混燒的情況,是將水平配置的噴燃器全部交換成氨燃燒噴燃器。在圖11A表示於前後壁各配置有三段共六段之噴燃器的例子。一段的噴燃器是由在水平方向設置的複數個噴燃器所構成。
在圖11A的(a)示意表示改造前可進行煤炭專燒之鍋爐2的噴燃器配置。六段噴燃器之中的一段是作為預備噴燃器來使用,故在通常運轉時是停用。在(a)的符號1104表示停用噴燃器。在啟動時是以油來加熱爐內,故煤炭噴燃器段1101、1102、1105是具備油噴燃器的煤炭噴燃器。
圖11A的(b)與(c),表示用來使(a)的鍋爐2成為使用氨燃料的鍋爐2的改造例(噴燃器配置例)。在(b)表示將煤炭噴燃器1103、1106與停用噴燃器1104改造成氨噴燃器1108的情況。該情況時,將煤炭噴燃器1103、1106改造成氨專燒噴燃器1107、1109。在(c)表示將具備煤炭噴燃器與油噴燃器的噴燃器1101、1102、1105改造成氨與油兩用之噴燃器1120、1121、1123的例子。此時停用噴燃器1104是作為煤炭噴燃器1104來運用。
圖11B、圖11D,是分別表示圖11A之(b)之A-A剖面的噴燃器配置例與氨噴燃器側視圖。圖11C、圖11E,是分別表示圖11A之(c)之B-B剖面的噴燃器配置例與油+氨噴燃器側視圖。在對向燃燒噴燃器,從中央噴射氨(或啟動時才用到的油),在其周圍設有作為氨燃燒用空氣之1次、2次、3次空氣的流路。
計算對向燃燒噴燃器單位的氨空氣比時,只考慮作為氨燃燒用空氣來供給至氨噴燃器的空氣(前述1次~3次空氣)。對向燃燒中,不存在旋繞燃燒那種輔助空氣噴嘴。
在圖12示意表示氨混燒情況之爐內的狀態。在供給追加空氣(額外空氣)的火爐內空間亦即燃燒完結區域的上游,會因煤粉燃燒而形成有空氣不足(空氣比為1以下)的脫硝還原環境,故對此氨噴燃器以1以下的空氣比來投入,藉此可用煤炭噴燃器所形成的高溫(通常1400℃以上)來對還原環境投入氨,產生氨的熱分解與還原,這在對向燃燒也可以。
在圖12,氨噴燃器是對以煤炭形成的高溫還原環境使氨噴燃器以0.8以下的空氣比來投入,故不會損及煤炭的還原環境,且可與高溫的煤炭火炎混合來產生熱分解與還原。藉由個別控制獨立之各噴燃器的空氣比,而可避免彼此的干涉來控制NOx發生量。
The configuration of ammonia burners in the case of counter-firing burners is shown in Figures 11A to 11E. In counter-firing, coal powder is supplied from a coal pulverizer to burners arranged horizontally on each wall surface. Therefore, in the case of ammonia co-firing, all horizontally arranged burners are replaced with ammonia-fired burners. Figure 11A shows an example of a total of six burners arranged in three sections on the front and rear walls. One section of the burner is composed of a plurality of burners arranged horizontally.
Figure 11A (a) schematically shows the burner configuration of
(實施例) 參照圖5A~圖5C,說明煤炭與氨混合燃燒之際,藉由燃燒試驗來特定氨噴燃器空氣比與NOx排出量之間關係的結果。圖5A、圖5B,是表示氨混燒率為既定值之情況的噴燃器部空氣比與NOx排出量之間關係的圖表(在圖5B,表示出各噴燃器形式的關係)。 本燃燒試驗,是以水平圓筒型的燃燒爐來實施,氨與煤粉的混燒率以熱量換算為25%。煤炭噴燃器與氨噴燃器是在垂直方向分開設置,在上部設置煤炭噴燃器,在下部設置氨噴燃器,在各個噴燃器於上下設置輔助空氣噴嘴。氨噴燃器是使用:預混合式的噴燃器亦即接頭噴燃器、擴散式的噴燃器且保炎器的構造不同的擴散器式與旋流器式的三種噴燃器。 又,在本試驗,火爐出口氧濃度是設定成大約4%,NOx為了修正火爐出口氧濃度之差而依據下述(式9)進行6%濃度換算來比較。 NOx(6%換算值)=NOx實測值×(21%-6%)÷(21%-實測火爐出口氧濃度)・・・・・・(式9) (Example) Referring to Fig. 5A to Fig. 5C, the results of the combustion test to determine the relationship between the air ratio of the ammonia burner and the NOx emission when the coal and ammonia are mixed and burned are described. Fig. 5A and Fig. 5B are graphs showing the relationship between the air ratio of the burner and the NOx emission when the ammonia mixing ratio is a predetermined value (Fig. 5B shows the relationship of each burner type). This combustion test is carried out in a horizontal cylindrical combustion furnace, and the mixing ratio of ammonia and coal powder is 25% in terms of heat conversion. The coal burner and the ammonia burner are separated in the vertical direction, with the coal burner at the top and the ammonia burner at the bottom, and auxiliary air nozzles are set at the top and bottom of each burner. Ammonia burners use three types of burners: premix burners, i.e., joint burners, diffuser burners, and diffuser and cyclone burners with different flame protector structures. In this test, the oxygen concentration at the furnace outlet was set to about 4%, and NOx was converted to 6% concentration according to the following (Formula 9) to correct the difference in oxygen concentration at the furnace outlet for comparison. NOx (6% conversion value) = NOx measured value × (21%-6%) ÷ (21%-actual furnace outlet oxygen concentration) ... (Formula 9)
首先,檢討氨噴燃器為接頭式且混燒率為33%之情況的氨噴燃器的空氣比與NOx排出量之間的關係。圖5C,是表示變更氨混燒率之情況之噴燃器部空氣比與NOx的排出量之間關係的圖表。如圖5C所示般,氨噴燃器空氣比在0.6會使NOx成為最低,空氣比變得比這高或低都會使NOx增加。氨噴燃器空氣比在0.8時NOx值會是0.6時的1.5倍左右。一般在煤炭燃燒的情況,NOx值是在150到200ppm左右,故氨噴燃器空氣比只要為0.8以下的話就與煤炭燃燒沒有太大分別。且,氨噴燃器空氣比越高則NOx的增加就越大。即使氨噴燃器空氣比為零,亦即從氨噴燃器只有噴射氨,NOx雖會增加,但可與煤炭混合燃燒。使氨噴燃器空氣比降到比0.6還低的話NOx會反而增加,故即使降至0.6,NOx亦無法下降的情況,可能是未燃氨到達額外空氣投入部下游的氧化區域(燃燒完結區域),而轉換成NOx。因此,有必要使氨噴燃器空氣比保持在0.6,並降低額外空氣投入率並增加煤炭噴燃器部空氣比,來減少到達額外空氣投入部下游的未燃氨量,藉此降低在燃燒完結區域發生的NOx。 在接頭式噴燃器使氨混燒率減少至25%、22%、11%的情況,雖無法確認氨噴燃器之空氣比所導致之NOx發生的最低點,但作為傾向有著使NOx成為最小的空氣比有越來越低的傾向。且,NOx值是將氨混燒率降至25%以下則有變高的傾向。這可能是因為鄰接之煤炭噴燃器的輔助空氣增加故一部分混合於氨噴燃器側而使氨噴燃器的空氣比實質增加的緣故。在這種情況,可將氨噴燃器的空氣比下降至比0.6更低,藉此控制NOx值。 如上述般顯示,即使是使氨混燒率從11%變化成33%的情況,NOx的值是可藉由適當控制氨噴燃器的空氣比來抑制NOx發生量,即使煤炭噴燃器的一次空氣比(煤炭的理論空氣比與一次空氣量的比)因混燒率的增加而增加,亦可個別地控制煤炭噴燃器、氨噴燃器的空氣比藉此將NOx值控制在一定的值以下。 First, the relationship between the air ratio and NOx emission of the ammonia burner is examined when the ammonia burner is a joint type and the co-firing ratio is 33%. FIG5C is a graph showing the relationship between the air ratio of the burner and the NOx emission when the ammonia co-firing ratio is changed. As shown in FIG5C, the NOx is lowest when the air ratio of the ammonia burner is 0.6, and the NOx increases when the air ratio is higher or lower than this. When the air ratio of the ammonia burner is 0.8, the NOx value is about 1.5 times that of 0.6. Generally, in the case of coal combustion, the NOx value is about 150 to 200 ppm, so as long as the air ratio of the ammonia burner is below 0.8, there is not much difference from coal combustion. Moreover, the higher the air ratio of the ammonia burner, the greater the increase in NOx. Even if the air ratio of the ammonia burner is zero, that is, only ammonia is injected from the ammonia burner, NOx will increase, but it can be mixed with coal for combustion. If the air ratio of the ammonia burner is reduced to less than 0.6, NOx will increase instead. Therefore, even if it is reduced to 0.6, the situation where NOx cannot be reduced may be that unburned ammonia reaches the oxidation area (combustion completion area) downstream of the additional air injection part and is converted into NOx. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the air ratio of the ammonia burner at 0.6, reduce the additional air injection rate and increase the air ratio of the coal burner to reduce the amount of unburned ammonia reaching the downstream of the additional air injection part, thereby reducing the NOx generated in the combustion completion area. When the ammonia co-combustion rate is reduced to 25%, 22%, and 11% in the joint burner, the lowest point of NOx generation caused by the air ratio of the ammonia burner cannot be confirmed, but the air ratio that minimizes NOx tends to become lower and lower. In addition, the NOx value tends to increase when the ammonia co-combustion rate is reduced to below 25%. This may be because the auxiliary air of the adjacent coal burner increases, so a part of it is mixed with the ammonia burner side, which actually increases the air ratio of the ammonia burner. In this case, the air ratio of the ammonia burner can be reduced to less than 0.6 to control the NOx value. As shown above, even when the ammonia co-firing rate is changed from 11% to 33%, the NOx value can be suppressed by appropriately controlling the air ratio of the ammonia burner. Even if the primary air ratio (the ratio of the theoretical air ratio of coal to the primary air volume) of the coal burner increases due to the increase in the co-firing rate, the air ratio of the coal burner and the ammonia burner can be individually controlled to control the NOx value below a certain value.
接著,如圖5B所示般,在擴散式的噴燃器,當保炎器為擴散器式與旋流器式的情況,NOx發生量會有擴散器式比旋流器式還低的傾向。擴散器式是在噴燃器前端的設置圓盤狀的擴散器,使空氣對此迴繞來保炎,著火點會很接近噴燃器。另一方面,旋流器式是藉由旋流來使以噴燃器為中心的旋繞流發生,並藉由該循環流來保炎,而在噴燃器前端的下游側形成有著火點。 氨噴燃器所形成的還原環境,是從著火點到額外空氣投入點為止之間,故著火點越接近噴燃器前端則還原環境的距離越長,還原環境的滯留時間也會變長,認為會促進NOx的還原。 即使是在擴散式噴燃器亦無法求得使NOx成為最小的氨噴燃器的空氣比,但有成為比接頭式還低之值的傾向,可以說是能控制成在各個噴燃器形式使NOx降至最低的氨噴燃器空氣比。 Next, as shown in FIG5B, in a diffuser burner, when the flame protector is a diffuser type or a swirler type, the NOx generation amount tends to be lower in the diffuser type than in the swirler type. The diffuser type is a disc-shaped diffuser installed at the front end of the burner, and the air is circulated around it to protect the flame, and the ignition point is very close to the burner. On the other hand, the swirler type generates a swirling flow with the burner as the center by swirl flow, and protects the flame by the circulating flow, and forms an ignition point on the downstream side of the front end of the burner. The reduction environment formed by the ammonia burner is from the ignition point to the additional air injection point. Therefore, the closer the ignition point is to the front end of the burner, the longer the distance to the reduction environment is, and the retention time of the reduction environment will also be longer, which is believed to promote the reduction of NOx. Even in the diffusion type burner, it is impossible to obtain the air ratio of the ammonia burner that minimizes NOx, but there is a tendency to become a lower value than the joint type. It can be said that the air ratio of the ammonia burner can be controlled to minimize NOx in each burner form.
