Definitions

  • the present invention is in the area of rotary kilns, such as, for example, are used in the manufacture of cement.
  • Rotary kilns can be particularly large-scale installations, often with a kiln or furnace length greater than 50 m.
  • Different fuels can be used for heating the kiln.
  • a rotary kiln has at least one main burner for primary fuel, such as oil, gas and pulverised coal.
  • primary fuel such as oil, gas and pulverised coal.
  • secondary fuels can be provided.
  • secondary fuels many materials come into consideration, including plastic waste, textile waste, old tyres and the like. These secondary fuels are generally supplied by compressed air as small particles, shreds or scraps.
  • a secondary fuel has a lower calorific value than the primary fuel. As a consequence, its complete combustion often requires additional measures, in particular, to prevent or reduce the emission of pollutants.
  • EP 0 726 437 A1 is concerned with different oxygen lances in a rotary kiln, whereby one of the oxygen lances is introduced into the centre of a burner assembly.
  • a secondary fuel is not covered here.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the combustion of a secondary fuel in a rotary kiln, preferably by using available possibilities of typical burner assemblies, in particular with a view to reduce emission of carbon monoxide without thereby increasing the emission of other unwanted contaminants above the prescribed limits, such as nitrogen oxides.
  • the process to improve the combustion of a first stream of secondary fuel supplied to a rotary kiln whereby the rotary kiln burner assembly preferably has a cylindrical burner assembly with a geometric centre axis, with a main burner designed to supply a primary fuel and a plurality of feed channels for various media, one of said feed channels being designed to supply a secondary fuel, for example in the form of particles or shreds in a stream of compressed air, is characterised in that a tubular oxygen lance for an oxygen-rich gas, in particular, oxygen gas, or an oxygen-rich liquid, especially liquid oxygen, having an angled nozzle arranged at its feed end is positioned in or on a feed channel of the burner assembly, whereby the oxygen lance is positioned so the oxygen emerging from the nozzle forms a second stream which directed towards and impacts or strikes the first stream.
  • an oxygen-rich gas in particular, oxygen gas, or an oxygen-rich liquid, especially liquid oxygen
  • the oxygen lance is preferably installed or positioned in (i.e. inside) said feed channel of the burner assembly. With such an embodiment, the oxygen lance is also accessible from the rear end of the burner (i.e. from the cold side away from the furnace interior).
  • oxygen lance on said channel, i.e. onto the extremity of the channel at the hot side of the burner (i.e. towards the furnace interior).
  • the oxygen lance can be particularly short, or can even essentially consist of the angled nozzle as such.
  • the oxygen gas used is of technically available purity and concentration.
  • the liquid oxygen is also of industrially available purity.
  • oxygen-rich gas refers to a gas having an oxygen (O2) content of between 50%vol and 100%vol, preferably between 80%vol and 100%vol;
  • oxygen gas refers to a gas having an oxygen (O2) content of between 90%vol and 100%vol, preferably between 95%vol and 100%vol and more preferably between 99%vol and 100%vol, preferably between 80%vol and 100% vol;
  • oxygen-rich liquid refers to a liquid having an oxygen (02) content of between 50%vol and 100% vol;
  • liquid oxygen refers to a liquid having an oxygen (O2) content of between 90%vol and 100%vol, preferably between 95%vol and 100%vol and more preferably between 99%vol and 100%vol;
  • nozzle is synonymous with "angled nozzle” and refers to a nozzle located at the feed end of a lance so as to direct a stream of fluid in an injection direction which forms a non-zero angle with the axial direction; i.e. with the geometric center axis, of the lance upstream of the nozzle.
  • the burner assembly is typically located at one longitudinal end of the rotary kiln, typically so that the geometric center axis of the burner assembly coincides with the longitudinal axis of the kiln.
  • the combustion gases are typically evacuated from the kiln at the longitudinal end opposite the burner assembly.
  • the secondary fuel is supplied to the rotary kiln above the main burner or in the upper region of the main burner, so that the secondary fuel is ignited by the rising heat of the primary-fuel flame of the main burner and is combusted with surrounding oxygen.
  • the oxygen or oxygen-rich fluid supplied by the oxygen lance can be used much more effectively than with an untargeted oxygen feed in the rotary kiln.
  • a typical burner assembly for a large-scale rotary kiln may itself have a length of about 10 m.
  • an oxygen lance running obliquely to the main flow direction (which typically coincides with the geometric centre axis of the burner assembly) or obliquely to the flow direction of the secondary fuel (first stream) without making significant changes to the installation or assembly.
  • the oxygen lance is introduced through a feed channel, of which typical burner assemblies have several, which is otherwise not used in the given operating state of the kiln.
  • feed channels may, for example, be parallel to the geometric axis of the burner assembly.
  • a bent or angled nozzle at the feed end of the oxygen lance directs the second stream (of oxygen or oxygen-rich fluid) in a desired direction.
  • the main burner When using a secondary fuel, the main burner continues to operate with the primary fuel, whereby said combustion of the primary fuel supports or promotes complete combustion of the secondary fuel in the further process of the rotary kiln.
  • the oxygen lance in an available feed channel with the correct rotation angle of the oxygen lance and its angled nozzle in relation to the feed channel for secondary fuel (or to install the oxygen lance onto said feed channel), to achieve the correct orientation of the second stream in relation to the first stream and thereby to achieve impact between the second and the first stream.
  • the process is preferably configured so that the second stream impacts or strikes the first stream at a distance from the burner assembly corresponding to less than 10% of the internal kiln length, preferably less than 4% of the internal kiln length.
  • the process is preferably configured so that the second stream strikes the first stream within less than 5 m after leaving the burner assembly, preferably after less than 2 m.
  • the oxygen from the oxygen lance does not primarily increase the temperature during combustion of the primary fuel which takes place further downstream in the rotary kiln, which could result in increased production of nitrogen oxide, but is mainly used to promote combustion of the secondary fuel.
  • the oxygen supplied by the oxygen lance can also serve to achieve a slightly superstoichiometric ratio, i.e., an excess of oxygen in relation to fuel in the furnace, to achieve the most complete combustion possible of all fuels (primary and secondary) along the length of the rotary kiln.
  • a device for improving the combustion of secondary fuel supplied as a first stream to a rotary kiln is also disclosed.
  • the rotary kiln has a burner assembly comprising a main burner for a primary fuel and a plurality of feed channels for various media, one of said feed channels, called secondary fuel channel, being a feed channel for the supply the first stream of secondary fuel, for example particles or shreds in a compressed-air stream.
  • the device or apparatus is characterised in that a tubular oxygen lance for an oxygen- rich gas, in particular oxygen gas, or for an oxygen-rich liquid, especially liquid oxygen, is located in another one of said feed channels, called oxygen channel.
  • Said oxygen lance has a bent or angled nozzle arranged at its feed end.
  • Oxygen- rich gas or liquid emerging from the nozzle forms a second stream.
  • the angled nozzle of the oxygen lance is positioned so that, during rotary kiln operation, said second stream of oxygen-rich gas or liquid impacts the first stream of secondary fuel supplied by the secondary fuel channel.
  • the angled nozzle of the oxygen lance is thus positioned precisely so that it is turned towards the first feed channel for secondary fuel.
  • the oxygen lance preferably has means (angle position indicator) for indicating the direction/orientation of the angled nozzle inside the rotary kiln.
  • the oxygen lance preferably has such an angle position indicator which protrudes at the back or rear end of the burner assembly when the lance is positioned in the oxygen channel.
  • This can, for example, be a marking or direction arrow on the outside of the oxygen lance and aligned with the angled nozzle. If this marking points to the inlet of the secondary fuel channel for the secondary fuel, the nozzle inside the rotary kiln also points in the right direction (i.e. the feed end of the secondary fuel channel).
  • the angled nozzle forms an angle ranging from 5° to 45° with the axial direction of the lance, preferably from 5° to 30°, more preferably from 5° to 25°, and most preferably from 10° to 20°.
  • the design of the nozzle can affect the nature of the second stream.
  • the design of the nozzle can be so as to achieve a degree of atomisation of the oxygen-rich liquid in the second stream.
  • the proportion of oxygen (O2) supplied through the oxygen lance is relatively small. Typically between 3% and 10 % of the oxygen (O2) which enters the rotary kiln is supplied through the oxygen lance, preferably between 4% and 6%. This enables the oxygen lance to have a smaller outer diameter than the inner diameter of the feed channel in which it is arranged. Preferably, the outer diameter of the oxygen lance is at least 20% smaller than the inner diameter of the oxygen channel.
  • Typical burner assemblies comprise several different feed channels for different fuels or other purposes. One of them may then be suitably selected as oxygen channel for the oxygen lance. The diameter difference ensures that there will be no problems when inserting, turning or removing the oxygen lance, even in the presence of fouling.
  • the oxygen lance is placed to be rotatable and slidable in a feed channel, so that its position is determined by its own weight (i.e. by gravity) and is sufficiently fixed thereby.
  • the weight of the oxygen lance will ensure that it is always located at the bottom in the oxygen channel, and the friction is sufficiently great to prevent any accidental undesirable rotation or displacement of said lance within the oxygen channel.
  • the oxygen lance As the oxygen lance, according to need and dimensioning, has to be supplied with oxygen under relatively high pressure, it is advantageous to provide two inlet connections, such as flanges, for the connection of two flexible tubes, so to keep the pressure drop low in said tubing from an oxygen-rich fluid supply reservoir to the oxygen lance.
  • the oxygen lance and its nozzle(s) are so dimensioned and connected to a supply of liquid or gaseous oxygen-rich fluid that the second stream issuing from the angled nozzle on coinciding/impacting with the first stream has a diameter which is the same as or smaller than the diameter of the first stream of secondary fuel. In this way, it is avoided that a substantial part of the oxygen-rich fluid of the second stream flows past the (first stream of the) secondary fuel to the upper region of the rotary kiln, where said oxygen-rich fluid provides little contribution to improve the combustion.
  • auxiliary nozzle is provided in the oxygen lance, as described above, said auxiliary nozzle is designed so that the oxygen issuing from it has as large a travel range as possible within the rotary kiln. This can preferably be achieved with a Laval auxiliary nozzle.
  • the first stream enters the rotary kiln vertically higher than the second stream, and that the second stream strikes the first vertically or obliquely from below.

  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a typical rotary kiln 1 for manufacturing cement 2, which cement passes through the rotary kiln 1 in powder form.
  • a burner assembly 3 is arranged, preferably of approximately cylindrical shape.
  • Said burner assembly 3 comprises a main burner 5 which is fed with a primary fuel.
  • a primary flame 6 is formed by combustion of the primary fuel, which generates most of the heat in the kiln (i.e. more than 50% of the heat, preferably more than 60%).
  • the burner assembly 3 further comprises at least one feed channel 19 for a secondary fuel 10, also known as fluff, which is typically supplied in small pieces by means of a conveyor fluid stream, such as an air stream.
  • this secondary fuel 10 is injected as a first stream 7.
  • an oxygen lance 12 is also arranged for injecting a second, oxygen-rich, stream 8 during kiln operation.
  • the first stream 7 and the second stream 8 meet at a junction portion 9 since the oxygen lance 12, which runs parallel to the feed channel 19 for the secondary fuel, has a bent nozzle 14 at its feed end. It is thereby achieved that the second stream exits at an angle a to the geometrical centre axis 27 of the oxygen lance 12 and also at an angle a to the geometrical centre axis 4 of the burner assembly 3, i.e.
  • the combustion gases generated by the combustion of primary and secondary fuel are discharged from the rotary kiln 1 to an exhaust hood 24 equipped with an analyser 25 for measuring emission levels of certain components, especially pollutants, in the combustion gases.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the burner assembly 3.
  • Burner assembly 3 comprises separate feed tunnels, passages or channels located in different areas. Some of said feed tunnels are concentric to the geometric centre axis 4 of the burner assembly 3, others are eccentric.
  • the overall burner assembly 3 has an outer insulation 26, which surrounds a feed channel 16, which is formed as an annular space. This can, for example, be used for the supply of primary air. Further inside is another feed channel which, for example, can be used for the supply of pulverized coal as primary fuel. Further inside there is another feed channel, which again can be used, for example, for centrally supplied air.
  • the feed channel 19 for the oxygen lance 12 has an inner diameter D which is larger than the outer diameter of the oxygen lance 12, optionally including any thermal insulation of the oxygen lance 12, in particular, at least 20% larger.
  • the feed channel 19 for secondary fuel lies at an angle above the feed channel 20 for the oxygen lance 12.
  • FIG 3 shows a schematic longitudinal section with additional clarification of an end portion of the oxygen lance 12 with an angled nozzle 14 and a supplemental nozzle 15, which can be optionally provided.
  • the oxygen lance 12 has an outer diameter d and a geometric centre axis 27.
  • the angled nozzle 14 injects an oxygen-rich second stream 8 at an angle a to the geometric centre axis 27 of the oxygen lance 12.
  • Said second stream 8 strikes the first stream 7 of secondary fuel in an intersection area 9.
  • This intersection area 9 has a distance E of less than 5 m from the feed end of the oxygen lance 12, preferably less than 2 m.
  • This is achieved in that the angle a of the angled nozzle 14 lies between 5° and 45°, preferably between 5° and 30°, more preferably between 5° and 25°, and most preferably between 10° and 20°.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic longitudinal section of the entire oxygen lance
  • the oxygen lance 12 has an angle position indicator 13, on the basis of which the operator can recognize which direction the angled nozzle 14 of the installed lance 12 has in the interior of the rotary kiln 1 .
  • the oxygen lance 12 preferably has two inlet flanges 23 for the connection of tubular oxygen supply lines 22 which can supply liquid or gaseous oxygen-rich fluid 1 1 from the oxygen tank 21 with only a small pressure loss.
  • the chemical purity of the oxygen-rich fluid is not essential for the process, whereby said oxygen-rich fluid can be oxygen or oxygen enriched gas or liquid, with an oxygen content of, for example, more than 50%vol, preferably more than 80%vol.
  • Figure 5 further illustrates the spatial arrangement at the outlet of the burner assembly 3. It can be seen that the first stream 7 of secondary fuel from feed channel 19 is struck obliquely and laterally from below by the second stream 8 of oxygen-rich fluid in intersection area 9. The oblique outlet of the second stream 8 is achieved by the angled nozzle 14 on the oxygen lance 12, whereby the exact direction of the angled nozzle 14 can also be seen from outside the burner assembly 1 by means of the angle position indicator 13. Other feed channels 18 of the burner assembly 3 have little effect on this process.
  • the present invention may be considered for new constructions of burner assemblies for rotary kilns, but is particularly useful for retrofitting existing burner assemblies in which feed channels are available as required for inserting an oxygen lance in the present invention.
  • Targeted delivery of gaseous or liquid oxygen, or oxygen-enriched gas or liquefied gas to a secondary fuel can significantly improve the combustion process and consequently significantly reduce exhaust emissions, in particular, the emission of carbon monoxide.
