Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for burning a fuel using an oxygen-rich oxygenated gas in which the oxygen-rich oxygenated gas is preheated to a temperature of at least 300° C.
  • the two main preoccupations when designing burners intended for industrial furnaces are the efficiency of heat transfer to the charge and the reduction in polluting emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides.
  • One of the most promising methods for meeting these two preoccupations is staged oxycombustion using preheated reactants. This is because it is known that by staging the combustion it is possible to reduce the NOx emissions and that by preheating the reactants it is possible to make energy savings.
  • Oxycombustion is combustion employing an oxygenated gas having an oxygen concentration greater than air.
  • the process of staged combustion of fuels consists in dividing the amount of oxidant needed for complete combustion of the fuel into at least two oxidant streams introduced at different distances from the fuel stream.
  • a first oxidant stream is introduced at a very short distance from the fuel stream.
  • This first oxidant stream closest to the fuel stream is called the primary stream—it allows partial combustion of the fuel at a controlled temperature that limits the formation of NOx.
  • the other oxidant streams are introduced at a greater distance from the fuel than the primary oxidant stream. They are used to complete the combustion with the fuel that has not reacted with the primary oxidant. These streams are called secondary streams.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose design rules for a burner employing staged oxycombustion and preheated reactants so as to retain the advantages of staged oxycombustion without incurring the risks associated with the use of preheated reactants.
  • the invention relates to a process for burning a fuel using an oxygen-rich oxygenated gas in which the following are injected into a combustion chamber:
  • the process according to the invention employs combustion in which the oxidant is an oxygen-rich oxygenated gas, that is to say one having a higher oxygen concentration than air.
  • the oxidant is an oxygen-rich oxygenated gas, that is to say one having a higher oxygen concentration than air.
  • This may be oxidant-enriched air or pure oxygen.
  • the oxygen concentration of this oxygenated gas is at least 70% by volume.
  • the process according to the invention employs combustion in which at least the oxygenated gas is preheated to a temperature of at least 300° C.
  • This preheating may be carried out by any known method of the prior art. Preferably, this is preheating using a recuperator, for recovering the heat of the combustion flue gases.
  • the fuel may also be preheated, preferably to at least 300° C.
  • the process according to the invention employs staged combustion in which the oxygenated gas is divided into two streams, which are introduced into the combustion chamber at various distances from the fuel jet.
  • the primary jet is introduced in contact with the fuel jet and surrounds it.
  • the orifice of the injector introducing the primary jet into the combustion chamber has a diameter D.
  • the end of this primary jet injector emerges directly in the combustion chamber.
  • the end of the fuel injector does not emerge directly in the combustion chamber but is set back from the wall of the combustion chamber: the end of the fuel injector emerges in the middle of the primary jet injector at a point set back from the wall of the combustion chamber, situated at a distance r from said wall.
  • the diameter of the fuel injector is generally adjusted so as to produce a stable flame.
  • One of the essential features of the invention is that it is necessary to prevent the staged oxycombustion process being used with the fuel injector set back within the primary oxygenated gas injector with dimensions such that r/D is between 3 and 5.
  • the respective dimensions r and D are critical as they influence the volume of the cavity created by the fuel injector being set back within the primary oxygenated gas injector.
  • the l/d ratio must be at least 2 and preferably at least 10.
  • the orifices via which the reactants are injected have a circular cross section.
  • the invention also covers the cases in which the cross sections of these orifices are not of circular shape.
  • the diameters d and D mentioned above correspond to the hydraulic diameters of noncircular cross sections, the hydraulic diameter being defined as the ratio of 4 times the area of the cross section of the orifice divided by the perimeter of the cross section of the orifice.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram for illustrating the various elements of the dimensions (r, d, D, l) for the process according to the invention.
  • the fuel l is introduced by means of the injector 7 placed in the injector 6 for the primary oxygenated gas 2 .
  • the end of the fuel injector is set back by a distance r from the wall 4 of the combustion chamber.
  • the end of the primary oxygenated gas injector 2 has a diameter D.
  • the secondary oxygenated gas 3 is introduced via the injector 5 , the end of which has a diameter d.
  • the distance between the edges of the ends of the oxygenated gas injectors 5 and 6 is l.
