Theoxygen combustion boiler 102 also includes an additional air port (hereinafter referred to as “AA port”) 102 b provided on the downstream side of theburner unit 102 a for supplying oxygen introduced from the combustion oxygen supply system and later-described secondary recirculation gas into theoxygen combustion boiler 102. - The oxygen supplied into the
oxygen combustion boiler 102 through theburner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b contains part of the exhaust gas (hereinafter referred to as “secondary recirculation gas”) which has been introduced from the downstream of thegas cooler 107 and mixed therein as dilution gas. The secondary recirculation gas is heated by theair heater 108 and is mixed into the oxygen which is introduced to theburner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b. - The oxygen supplied to the
burner unit 102 a is adjusted so that the amount of oxygen introduced from the combustion oxygen supply system is not larger than 1.0 times the theoretical combustion oxygen amount of the coal supplied from thecoal pulverizer 103. A remaining amount of the oxygen introduced from the combustion oxygen supply system is supplied to theAA port 102 b. Accordingly, a zone between theburner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b in theoxygen combustion boiler 102 is in an oxygen-poor state. - Since oxygen is poor in between the
burner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b, the zone between theburner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b is made to have a reducing atmosphere. The fuel charged into theoxygen combustion boiler 102 through theburner unit 102 a combusts and generates exhaust gas. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) contained in the generated exhaust gas is partially reduced when passing the reducing atmosphere present between theburner unit 102 a and theAA port 102 b. This makes it possible to decrease nitrogen oxide within theoxygen combustion boiler 102. -

- However, in the oxygen combustion boiler of the invention disclosed in
Patent Literature 3 as well as in the oxygencombustion boiler system 101 shown inFIG. 5 , the exhaust having a high nitrogen oxide concentration discharged from theoxygen combustion boiler 102 was recirculated as secondary recirculation gas and was recharged into theoxygen combustion boiler 102. As a consequence, thedenitration device 104 provided on the downstream side of theoxygen combustion boiler 102 had a heavy treatment burden. - Moreover, since the concentration of nitrogen oxide treated by the
denitration device 104 was high, the consumption of ammonia sprayed to the exhaust gas passing thedenitration device 104 increased. - In view of the above-stated problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a combustion system capable of decreasing nitrogen oxide discharged from exhaust gas.
- A combustion system of the present invention employs the following solutions to solve the foregoing problems.
- A combustion system according to the present invention includes: a combustion furnace having a burner unit for supplying fuel and combustion oxygen to an inside of the furnace, a reduction zone formed on a downstream side of the burner unit for combusting the fuel, and a combustion oxygen supply port for supplying combustion oxygen so that unburned fuel which has passed the reduction zone completely combusts; and a smoke removal device for removing smoke in the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion furnace, wherein part of exhaust gas diverging from between the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device is introduced to the burner unit, while part of exhaust gas diverging from a downstream side of the smoke removal device is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port.
- In the combustion system according to the present invention, part of exhaust gas diverging from between the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device is resupplied to the inside of the combustion furnace through the burner unit. A zone under reducing atmosphere (reduction zone) is formed between the burner unit of the combustion furnace and the combustion oxygen supply port. Consequently, the exhaust gas diverging from between the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device can be reduced in the zone under reducing atmosphere formed in the combustion furnace and then be discharged. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced from the combustion furnace to the smoke removal device and to decrease the amount of smoke. Therefore, the capacity of the smoke removal device can be reduced.
- Moreover, part of exhaust gas diverging from the downstream side of the smoke removal device is the exhaust gas having the concentration of nitrogen oxide, which is smoke, decreased by the smoke removal device. The exhaust gas having a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port and is used for promoting complete combustion of the unburned fuel contained in the exhaust gas which has partially been reduced by passing the reducing atmosphere inside the combustion furnace. Therefore, the exhaust gas can be discharged out of the combustion furnace while the concentration of nitrogen oxide contained therein is maintained low. The exhaust gas having a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is recirculated to the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device, so that increase in the concentration of nitrogen oxide in an outlet of the combustion furnace can be suppressed.
- Further, in the combustion system according to the present invention, the smoke removal device includes: a denitration unit for removing nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion furnace; a heat exchange unit for conducting heat exchange between exhaust gas which has passed the denitration unit and exhaust gas which is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port; a dust removal unit for removing dust in exhaust gas which has passed the heat exchange unit; a desulfurization unit for removing sulfur oxide in exhaust gas which has passed the dust removal unit; and a cooling unit for cooling exhaust gas which has passed the desulfurization unit, wherein part of exhaust gas diverging from between the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port.
- In the combustion system according to the present invention, part of the exhaust gas diverging from between the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port of the combustion furnace. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas introduced to the denitration unit as well as to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced to the cooling unit. Therefore, it becomes possible to downsize the denitration unit and to reduce the capacity of the cooling unit.
- Further, in the combustion system according to the present invention, part of exhaust gas diverging from between the dust removal unit and the desulfurization unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port.
- In the combustion system according to the present invention, part of the exhaust gas diverging from between the dust removal unit and the desulfurization unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas introduced to the denitration unit as well as to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced to the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit. Therefore, it becomes possible to downsize the denitration unit and to reduce the capacity of the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit.
- Further, in the combustion system according to the present invention, part of exhaust gas diverging from between the denitration unit and the dust removal unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port.
- In the combustion system according to the present invention, part of the exhaust gas diverging from between the denitration unit and the dust removal unit is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas introduced to the denitration unit as well as to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced to the heat exchange unit, the dust removal unit, the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit. Therefore, it becomes possible to downsize the denitration unit and to reduce the capacity of the heat exchange unit, the dust removal unit, the desulfurization unit and the cooling unit.
- Further, in the combustion system according to the present invention, the denitration unit includes: an ammonia supply unit for supplying ammonia into exhaust gas; and a catalyst unit for allowing exhaust gas supplied by the ammonia supply unit to pass therethrough.
- In the combustion system according to the present invention, the exhaust gas having a decreased flow rate of nitrogen oxide is introduced to the denitration unit. Therefore, the amount of ammonia to be supplied can be reduced as compared with the case where the exhaust gas whose flow rate of nitrogen oxide is not decreased.
- In the present invention, part of exhaust gas diverging from between the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device is resupplied to the inside of the combustion furnace through the burner unit. A zone under reducing atmosphere is formed between the burner unit of the combustion furnace and the combustion oxygen supply port. Consequently, the exhaust gas diverging from between the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device can be reduced in the zone under reducing atmosphere formed in the combustion furnace before being discharged. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced from the combustion furnace to the smoke removal device and to decrease the flow rate of smoke. Therefore, the capacity of the smoke removal device can be reduced.
- Moreover, part of exhaust gas diverging from the downstream side of the smoke removal device is the exhaust gas having the concentration of nitrogen oxide, which is smoke, decreased by the smoke removal device. The exhaust gas having a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is introduced to the combustion oxygen supply port and is used for promoting complete combustion of the unburned fuel contained in the exhaust gas which has partially been reduced by passing the reducing atmosphere inside the combustion furnace. Therefore, the exhaust gas can be discharged out of the combustion furnace while the concentration of nitrogen oxide contained therein is maintained low. The exhaust gas having a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is recirculated to the combustion furnace and the smoke removal device, so that increase in the concentration of nitrogen oxide in the outlet of the combustion furnace can be suppressed.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structure view of a combustion system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. - The combustion system 1 includes a coal fired boiler (combustion furnace) 2, a
coal pulverizer 3 for pulverizing coal supplied to the coal firedboiler 2, and asmoke removal device 9. - The coal fired
boiler 2 is an oxygen combustion boiler which can conduct denitration inside the furnace (not shown) by two-stage combustion. The coal firedboiler 2 includes a furnace inside for combusting fuel, aburner unit 2 a, and an additional air port (hereinafter referred to as “AA unit”) 2 b. Coal as fuel supplied from thecoal pulverizer 3, oxygen (combustion oxygen) introduced from a combustionoxygen supply system 21, and later-described secondary recirculation gas forburner unit 22 are introduced to theburner unit 2 a. Remaining part of the oxygen introduced from the combustionoxygen supply system 21 to theburner unit 2 a and later-described secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 are introduced to the AA unit (combustion oxygen supply port) 2 b. - The
coal pulverizer 3 is for pulverizing the coal, which is supplied to the coal firedboiler 2, into fine powder of a size of several μm to hundreds of μm. Part of exhaust gas (hereinafter referred to as “primary recirculation gas”) 24 discharged from thesmoke removal device 9 is introduced to thecoal pulverizer 3 as high-temperature carrier gas for drying the pulverized coal and conveying the pulverized coal from thecoal pulverizer 3 to the coal firedboiler 2. - The
smoke removal device 9 includes a denitration device (denitration unit) 4, a gas heater (heat exchange unit) 8, a dust removal device (dust removal unit) 5, a desulfurization device (desulfurization unit) 6, and a gas cooler (cooling unit) 7. - The
denitration device 4 includes an ammonia supply unit (not shown) for spraying ammonia to the exhaust gas, and a catalyst unit (not shown) for allowing the exhaust gas having ammonia sprayed thereto to pass therethrough. Thedenitration device 4 is for removing nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas by spraying ammonia to the introduced exhaust gas and for having the exhaust gas pass the catalyst unit. - The
gas heater 8 is for conducting heat exchange of the high-temperature exhaust gas, which has come from the coal firedboiler 2 and passed thedenitration device 4, with theprimary recirculation gas 24 and the secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23. As a consequence of the heat exchange, theprimary recirculation gas 24 reaches a temperature suitable for drying the coal pulverized by thecoal pulverizer 3, while the secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 reaches a temperature suitable for being introduced to the inside of the furnace through theAA unit 2 b of the coal firedboiler 2. - The
dust removal device 5 is for removing dust in the exhaust gas, and thedesulfurization device 6 is for removing sulfur oxide in the introduced exhaust gas. - The
gas cooler 7 is for cooling the introduced exhaust gas. - Description is now given of the flow of exhaust gas in the present embodiment.
- Oxygen introduced from the combustion
oxygen supply system 21, part of exhaust gas (hereinafter referred to as “secondary recirculation gas for burner”) 22 introduced from between the coal firedboiler 2 and thedenitration device 4, and coal introduced from thecoal pulverizer 3 are supplied to theburner unit 2 a of the coal firedboiler 2. The secondary recirculation gas forburner 22 is used as diluents for diluting the oxygen introduced from the combustionoxygen supply system 21. - Oxygen introduced from the combustion
oxygen supply system 21 and part of exhaust gas (hereinafter referred to as “secondary recirculation gas for AA unit”) 23 purified by passing thesmoke removal device 9 are supplied to theAA unit 2 b of the coal firedboiler 2. The secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 is used as dilution gas for diluting the oxygen introduced from the combustionoxygen supply system 21. - The amount of oxygen supplied from the combustion
oxygen supply system 21 to the coal firedboiler 2 through theburner unit 2 a and theAA unit 2 b is set to be 1.15 times the theoretical combustion oxygen amount of the coal supplied to the inside of the furnace through theburner unit 2 a. The amount of oxygen supplied to the inside of the furnace of the coal firedboiler 2 is not larger than 1.0 times the theoretical combustion oxygen amount of the coal supplied to the inside of the furnace through theburner unit 2 a. - A remaining amount of the oxygen, which is introduced from the combustion
oxygen supply system 21 to theburner unit 2 a, is used as the oxygen supplied to the inside of the furnace through theAA unit 2 b. The amount of oxygen supplied through theAA unit 2 b is up to about 40% of the amount of oxygen introduced from the combustionoxygen supply system 21 to the coal firedboiler 2. - The amount of oxygen charged to the inside of the furnace through the
burner unit 2 a is made not larger than 1.0 times the theoretical combustion oxygen amount of coal, and oxygen is also charged to the inside of the furnace through theAA unit 2 b. As a consequence, a zone between theburner unit 2 a and theAA unit 2 b becomes short of oxygen. Due to the shortage of oxygen in the zone between theburner unit 2 a and theAA unit 2 b, the zone between theburner unit 2 a and theAA unit 2 b inside the furnace is put in the state of reducing atmosphere. - Nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas generated by combustion of coal and oxygen charged to the inside of the furnace through the
burner unit 2 a is reduced when passing the zone under reducing atmosphere through theburner unit 2 a. Consequently, nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas generated within the coal firedboiler 2 is removed inside the furnace of the coal firedboiler 2. - The concentration of nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gas discharged from the coal fired
boiler 2 is decreased by in-furnace NOx removal in the coal firedboiler 2. The exhaust gas with a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is introduced to thesmoke removal device 9. As the concentration of nitrogen oxide decreases, the amount of exhaust gas introduced from the coal firedboiler 2 to thesmoke removal device 9 is decreased. - The exhaust gas introduced to the
smoke removal device 9 is introduced to thedenitration device 4 which constitutes thesmoke removal device 9, where residual nitrogen oxide is removed. The exhaust gas with nitrogen oxide removed is introduced to theair heater 8. The temperature of the exhaust gas introduced to theair heater 8 is high. In theair heater 8, the high-temperature exhaust gas is subjected to heat exchange with the secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 and theprimary recirculation gas 24. After heat exchange in theair heater 8, the high-temperature exhaust gas introduced from thedenitration device 4 is cooled and then introduced to thedust removal device 5. - The exhaust gas introduced to the
dust removal device 5 is subjected to removal of dust and the like before being discharged. The exhaust gas discharged from thedust removal device 5 is introduced to thedesulfurization device 6, where sulfuric compounds are removed. The exhaust gas purified through thedenitration device 4, thedust removal device 5, and thedesulfurization device 6 is mostly composed of carbon dioxide and steam. This purified exhaust gas is introduced to thegas cooler 7, where the temperature thereof is lowered. The exhaust gas whose temperature is lowered by thegas cooler 7 is discharged from thesmoke removal device 9. - Part of the exhaust gas discharged from the
smoke removal device 9 is introduced to theair heater 8 as secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23, where heat exchange is conducted between the secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 and the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from thedenitration device 4, so that the temperature of the secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 increases. The thus-obtained high-temperature secondary recirculation gas forAA unit 23 is then introduced to theAA unit 2 b of the coal firedboiler 2. Part of the exhaust gas discharged from thesmoke removal device 9 is further introduced to theair heater 8 asprimary recirculation gas 24. Theprimary recirculation gas 24 introduced to theair heater 8 is heated by exchanging heat with the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from thedenitration device 4. The thus-obtained high-temperatureprimary recirculation gas 24 is then introduced to thecoal pulverizer 3. The high-temperatureprimary recirculation gas 24 introduced to thecoal pulverizer 3 is used as carrier gas for drying coal and for conveying pulverized coal to the coal firedboiler 3. - The exhaust gas purified by the
smoke removal device 9 is mostly introduced to a system such as a carbon dioxide recovery system (not shown) where carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas is recovered. Thus, the exhaust gas with carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur oxide removed therefrom is emitted to the outside of the combustion system 1. - The combustion system according to the present embodiment has following operation effects.
- In the combustion system according to the present embodiment, the secondary recirculation gas for burner (part of exhaust gas) 22 diverging from between the coal fired boiler (combustion furnace) 2 and the
smoke removal device 9 is resupplied to the inside of the furnace (not shown) of the coal firedboiler 2 through theburner unit 2 a. Consequently, the exhaust gas containing high-concentration nitrogen oxide introduced to thesmoke removal device 9 is decreased. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the load of thedenitration device 4. - Moreover, the reducing atmosphere is formed between the
burner unit 2 a and the AA unit (combustion oxygen supply port) 2 b of the coal firedboiler 2. Consequently, the secondary recirculation gas forburner unit 22 diverging from between the coal firedboiler 2 and thesmoke removal device 9 can be reduced in the zone under reducing atmosphere formed in the coal firedboiler 2 and then be discharged. This makes it possible to decrease the flow rate of the exhaust gas introduced from the coal firedboiler 2 to thesmoke removal device 9 and to decrease the flow rate of nitrogen oxide in smoke. Therefore, the capacity of thesmoke removal device 9 can be reduced. - The secondary recirculation gas for
AA unit 23 which is part of the exhaust gas discharged from the downstream side of thesmoke removal device 9 is the exhaust gas having the concentration of nitrogen oxide decreased by thedenitration device 4. This exhaust gas is introduced to the coal firedboiler 2 through theAA unit 2 b and is used for promoting complete combustion of unburned pulverized coal contained in the exhaust gas which is partially reduced by passing the reducing atmosphere inside the furnace of the coal firedboiler 2. Therefore, the exhaust gas is discharged out of the furnace of the coal firedboiler 2 while the concentration of nitrogen oxide contained therein is maintained low. As a result, the exhaust gas having a decreased nitrogen oxide concentration is recirculated between the coal firedboiler 2 and thesmoke removal device 9, so that increase in the concentration of nitrogen oxide in the outlet of the furnace of the coal firedboiler 2 can be suppressed. - The exhaust gas with a decreased flow rate of nitrogen oxide is introduced to the denitration device (denitration unit) 4, so that the amount of ammonia sprayed from the ammonia supply unit (not shown) to the exhaust gas can be decreased as compared with the case where the exhaust gas whose flow rate of nitrogen oxide is not decreased is introduced to the
denitration device 4. Therefore, it becomes possible to downsize thedenitration device 4. - Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. A combustion system of the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the point that the secondary recirculation gas for AA unit is introduced from between the desulfurization device and the gas cooler. Other structural members are similar to those of the first embodiment. Therefore, like structural members and flows are designated by like reference signs to omit description.
