Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a method for the post-combustion of sewage sludge ash produced during sewage sludge mono-incineration in a rotary kiln, and to a device for carrying out this method.
  • the invention is therefore based on the problem of providing a solution which enables the discharge from a sewage sludge mono-incineration plant of sewage sludge ash which at most still contains such a small proportion of unburned carbon that the sewage sludge ash obtained can be used for phosphorus recovery without any problems.
  • the problem is solved by a method for the post-combustion of sewage sludge ash produced during sewage sludge mono-incineration in a rotary kiln using a hot gas or flue-gas stream that has a low oxygen content, in particular an oxygen content of 6 to 10 vol.
  • sewage sludge ash exiting the rotary kiln is fed to the gas or flue gas stream, which is removed from a fired incineration chamber of an incineration plant associated with the rotary kiln or from a power plant associated with the rotary kiln and, as needed, is adjusted to the low oxygen content required for post-combustion, and an oxidation or post-combustion of unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash is caused by this sufficiently hot gas or flue gas stream.
  • a device for carrying out the method according to any one of claims 1 to 10 which is characterized by a sewage sludge mono-incineration plant comprising a rotary kiln for sewage sludge incineration with connected sewage sludge feed and a first sewage sludge ash discharge with connected sewage sludge ash line, which opens into a gas or flue gas line in which a gas or flue gas stream branched off from a fired incineration chamber of an incineration plant associated with the rotary kiln or from a power plant associated with the rotary kiln is fed.
  • the method and the device allow that, in the case of sewage sludge ash initially exiting a rotary kiln in the course of a sewage sludge mono-incineration, the carbon content of unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash is oxidized and thus post-combusted using a sufficiently tempered and oxygen-containing gas or flue gas stream in a downstream step associated with the sewage sludge mono-incineration and sewage sludge mono-incineration plant, respectively.
  • the content of unburned carbon in the sewage sludge finally discharged from the sewage sludge mono-incineration plant thereafter can thus be significantly reduced and, in particular, reduced to such a proportion that the sewage sludge ash obtained can be readily further processed in subsequent steps, in particular for phosphorus recovery of the phosphorus contained in the sewage sludge ash.
  • Flue gas streams from incineration chambers of incineration plants have proven to be advantageous in that they have a sufficiently high temperature and a sufficiently low oxygen content on the one hand, but a sufficiently high oxygen content on the other hand, which is necessary for the post-combustion of the unburned carbon particles contained in the sewage sludge ash. In order to be able to ensure post-combustion nevertheless, it can be advantageous to provide possibilities for still specifically raising the oxygen content of the flue gas stream.
  • the post-combustion takes place after the sewage sludge ash has been fed into the gas or flue gas stream, by feeding this sewage sludge ash/gas stream mixture or sewage sludge ash/flue gas stream mixture into a reaction chamber or a reaction space; in this respect, it is also possible for the flow cross-section of the flue gas line carrying this sewage sludge ash/gas stream mixture or sewage sludge ash/flue gas stream mixture to be configured as such a reaction chamber or reaction space.
  • the method is therefore characterized in that the mixture of hot gas or flue gas stream and supplied sewage sludge ash is supplied to a reaction chamber, in particular a reaction chamber, in which the oxidation or post-combustion of the unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash takes place.
  • the conditions for the post-combustion of the unburned carbon content contained in the sewage sludge ash are set in such a way that, on the one hand, the temperature is sufficiently high to ensure post-combustion of the carbon, but, on the other hand, it is sufficiently low to prevent slagging of the flue gas line carrying the sewage sludge/gas stream or flue gas stream mixture.
  • the temperature of the hot gas stream or flue gas stream is adjusted such that, on the one hand, it is sufficiently high to cause oxidation or post-combustion of the unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash, and, on the other hand, it is sufficiently low so that the temperature increase of the sewage sludge ash/gas stream mixture or sewage sludge/flue gas stream mixture resulting from the oxidation or post-combustion of the unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash does not cause slagging of the reaction chamber or the reaction space or of the gas or flue gas line carrying the sewage sludge ash/gas stream mixture or sewage sludge ash/flue gas stream mixture.
  • the combustion quality is determined, amongst others, by the mixing of the ash particles with the oxidizing hot flue gas in the reaction space or reaction chamber.
  • a “cold” flue gas stream can be used which is connected to the reaction space or reaction chamber at one or more points.
  • Cold flue gas stream has the additional effect of avoiding temperature peaks and thus further reduces possible slagging of the reaction space and downstream plant components.
  • Cold flue gas stream is understood to mean a, such as recirculated, flue gas in the temperature range from 100° C. to 250° C., in particular 120° C. to 200° C., which is extracted, for example, downstream of an electrostatic filter of a/the incineration plant or of a/the associated power plant.
  • a “cold” flue gas stream is introduced into the reaction space or the reaction chamber.
  • cold flue gas such as having a temperature in the temperature range from 100° C. to 250° C., in particular 120° C. to 200° C., is supplied to the reaction space or the reaction chamber.
  • the method therefore further provides that the sewage sludge ash is ground in a mill which is configured as a ball mill, prior to being fed to the gas or flue gas stream.
  • Ball mills have proven to be particularly advantageous for grinding the sewage sludge ash.
  • the sewage sludge ash In order to prevent evaporation of the sewage sludge ash obtained after incineration in the rotary kiln and to avoid a supply of oxygen, as well as to bring the temperature of the sewage sludge ash to the temperature required for the mill, the sewage sludge ash, after leaving the rotary kiln, is first fed to a first cooling conveyor designed as a cooling screw and then, in particular before entering the mill, to a rotary valve.
  • a first cooling conveyor designed as a cooling screw
  • the method is in an embodiment further characterized in that the sewage sludge ash/gas stream mixture or sewage sludge ash/flue gas stream mixture is fed downstream of the reaction space or the reaction chamber to a centrifugal separator, in particular a cyclone, and in the centrifugal separator, in particular a cyclone, the sewage sludge ash and the gas or flue gas stream are separated from each other.
  • a further use of the gas or flue gas stream separated in the centrifugal separator, which is particularly favorable in terms of energy, is to feed it to the rotary kiln of the sewage sludge mono-incineration plant. Therefore, in an embodiment of the method, the gas or flue gas stream is fed to the rotary kiln downstream of the centrifugal separator, in particular the cyclone.
  • the method is suitable for continuous sewage sludge combustion and treatment of obtained sewage sludge ash, so that the feeding of the sewage sludge ash into the gas or flue gas stream as well as the oxidation or post-combustion of the unburned carbon content contained in the sewage sludge ash are carried out continuously and without intermediate storage.
  • the feeding of the gas or flue gas stream separated from the sewage sludge ash in the centrifugal separator, in particular the cyclone, to the rotary kiln is carried out continuously and without intermediate storage.
  • the device in order to enable the adjustment of the oxygen content, is characterized in that at least one oxygen supply device or oxygen introduction device is arranged in the gas or flue gas line upstream of the inlet of the sewage sludge ash line, by means of which oxygen can be supplied to the flue gas stream carried in the gas or flue gas line.
  • a reaction space or a reaction chamber is formed in the gas or flue gas line downstream of the inlet of the sewage sludge ash line, in which, during operation of the sewage sludge mono-incineration plant and the fired incineration chamber, the oxidation or post-combustion of the unburned carbon contained in the sewage sludge ash takes place, the flow cross-section of the gas or flue gas line being shaped as forming the reaction space or reaction chamber.
  • the apparatus is in a further embodiment characterized in that a first cooling conveyor in the form of a cooling screw, a rotary valve and a mill, such as configured as a ball mill, are arranged in the sewage sludge ash line upstream of the branching of the latter into the gas or flue gas line in the direction of flow of the sewage sludge ash, which are integrated into the sewage sludge ash line and through which the sewage sludge ash can flow.
  • a first cooling conveyor in the form of a cooling screw, a rotary valve and a mill, such as configured as a ball mill, are arranged in the sewage sludge ash line upstream of the branching of the latter into the gas or flue gas line in the direction of flow of the sewage sludge ash, which are integrated into the sewage sludge ash line and through which the sewage sludge ash can flow.
  • a centrifugal separator for the separation of sewage sludge ash and the gas stream or flue gas stream loaded therewith, the arrangement or configuration of a centrifugal separator is provided.
  • a centrifugal separator in particular a cyclone, is arranged in the gas or flue gas line in the direction of flow of the sewage sludge ash/gas stream or flue gas stream mixture downstream of the confluence of the sewage sludge ash line and the reaction chamber or reaction space for separating sewage sludge ash and gas or flue gas stream.
  • the device is in a further embodiment designed in such a way that the centrifugal separator, in particular cyclone, has an exhaust gas line opening into the rotary kiln and a sewage sludge ash discharge line opening into a further cooling conveyor designed as a cooling screw.
  • the centrifugal separator in particular cyclone, has an exhaust gas line opening into the rotary kiln and a sewage sludge ash discharge line opening into a further cooling conveyor designed as a cooling screw.
  • the gas or flue gas line has at least one oxygen supply device or oxygen introduction device in the flow direction of the gas or flue gas stream upstream of the confluence of the sewage sludge ash line. This allows the hot flue gas to be adjusted, in particular to be raised to the oxygen content required for the incineration or post-combustion of the sewage sludge ash, and the required oxidizing hot flue gas to be generated if the oxygen content of the flue gas taken from the incineration plant is otherwise insufficient for this purpose.
  • the sewage sludge mono-incineration by means of a rotary kiln can be combined in a particularly advantageous manner with a waste incineration plant or a waste-fired power station, from which the hot flue gas stream causing the post-combustion of the sewage sludge ash then originates.
  • the associated incineration plant is a waste incineration plant or the associated power plant is a waste-fired power station.
  • the device is in a further configuration also characterized in that at least one flue gas inlet device for supplying cold flue gas having a temperature of 100° C. to 250° C., in particular 120° C. to 200° C., opens into the reaction space or the reaction chamber.
