The present invention relates to a fluidized bed combustion facility equipped with a fluidized bed combustion furnace that burns fuel while flowing the fluidized medium, and a method of supplying the fluidized medium to the fluidized bed combustion furnace.

As a technology in such a field, there is known a fluidized bed combustion facility that includes a fluidized bed fuel furnace, introduces sand such as silica sand as a fluidized medium into the furnace, and burns fuel while circulating the fluidized medium ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2011-122800 A

In a conventional fluidized bed combustion facility, for example, a fluid medium is conveyed using a carrier fluid such as air, and the fluid medium is supplied into the combustion furnace. In the prior art, considering the difference between the conditions (powder properties, outside air conditions, transport distance, etc.) expected at the time of design and the actual conditions during actual operation, the transport capacity has a margin. However, the required transport flow rate differs depending on the granular material properties. If the operation is continued at the designed flow rate, the difference between the really necessary flow rate (optimal flow rate) and the operation flow rate, and the wear rate of the piping will increase. The pipe life was shorter than expected at the time of design.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fluidized bed combustion facility and a fluidized medium supply method to a fluidized bed combustion furnace capable of suppressing the progress of damage to a supply pipe for supplying the fluidized medium.

A fluidized bed combustion facility according to one aspect of the present invention includes a fluidized bed combustion furnace that burns fuel while flowing a fluidized medium, and a supply unit that supplies the fluidized medium to the fluidized bed combustion furnace. In the combustion facility, the supply unit includes a blower that blows the gas that transports the fluid medium, and a flow rate adjuster that adjusts the flow rate of the gas.

In this fluidized bed combustion facility, since the flow rate of the gas transporting the fluidized medium can be adjusted in the supply unit that supplies the fluidized medium to the fluidized bed combustion furnace, it is possible to suppress damage to the piping through which the fluidized medium flows. it can. For example, the progress of damage to the pipe can be suppressed by reducing the gas flow rate.

Further, the flow rate adjustment unit may include a flow rate adjustment valve, and the supply unit may further include a discharge unit that discharges a part of the gas blown from the blower unit from the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve. In the fluidized bed combustion facility having this configuration, a part of the gas blown by the blower can be discharged on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve, and the pressure rise can be suppressed on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve. . As a result, it is possible to employ a blower unit having a sealed structure, and even if blowing continues at a constant flow rate, the flow rate can be reduced by the flow rate adjustment valve, and excess gas at that time can be removed from the flow rate adjustment valve. It can be discharged from the upstream side. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in pressure on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve and to suppress a decrease in reliability of the blower unit.

The discharge unit may further include a pressure adjustment unit that adjusts the pressure on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve. As a result, a part of the gas can be discharged from the discharge unit, and the pressure adjustment unit can adjust the pressure on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve, thereby suppressing the pressure drop on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve. Thus, it is possible to suppress damage to the piping while suitably transporting the fluid medium.

Another aspect of the present invention is a method for supplying a fluidized medium to a fluidized bed combustion furnace, in which the fluidized medium is transported in the method for supplying a fluidized medium to a fluidized bed combustion furnace that burns fuel while fluidizing the fluidized medium. A step of adjusting the flow rate of the gas.

In this fluid medium supply method, since the flow velocity of the gas transporting the fluid medium can be adjusted, the gas flow velocity can be adjusted to suppress damage to the pipe through which the fluid medium flows. By reducing the flow rate of the gas, it is possible to suppress the progress of damage to the piping.

According to the fluidized bed combustion facility which is one form of the present invention and the fluidized medium supply method to the fluidized bed combustion furnace which is another form, the progress of damage to the supply pipe for supplying the fluidized medium is suppressed. Can do.

It is the schematic of the fluidized bed type combustion facility of one Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or an equivalent part, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the fluidized bed combustion facility 1 includes a circulating fluidized bed boiler (fluidized bed combustion furnace) 2, a fluidized medium supply device 3, and an exhaust gas treatment device 4. Fuels used in the circulating fluidized bed boiler 2 include coal, biomass, plastics, tires, sludge, RFP (Refuse paper & plastic fuel), RDF (Refuse Delivered), TDF (Tire). A wide range of fuels such as Derived Fuel (waste tire solid fuel) and paper sludge can be used. Other combustible materials can be used as fuel to burn in a fluidized bed combustion furnace.

The circulating fluidized bed boiler 2 has a furnace 21 that forms a fluidized bed and burns fuel. A fuel inlet (not shown) for introducing fuel is provided on the side of the furnace 21. In the furnace 21, for example, a fuel input port for supplying coal and a fuel input port for supplying biomass are provided. Further, the furnace 21 is provided with a fluid medium supply port 21a for supplying a fluid medium. The fluid medium supply device 3 that supplies the fluid medium to the furnace 21 supplies the fluid medium into the furnace 21 through the fluid medium supply port 21a.

A gas outlet 21b for discharging exhaust gas generated by fuel is formed in the upper part of the furnace 21, and a cyclone 22 is connected to the gas outlet 21b. The cyclone 22 is called a separator, a cyclone classifier, or a cyclone separator, and functions as a solid-gas separator. The inlet 22a of the cyclone 22 is connected to the gas outlet 21b, and the outlet 22b of the cyclone 22 is connected to the exhaust gas treatment device 4 at the subsequent stage via a back path 24. A return line 23 called a downcomer extends downward from the bottom outlet of the cyclone 22, and the lower end of the return line 23 is connected to the lower side surface of the furnace 21.

Also, a plurality of openings are provided at the bottom of the furnace 21, and air is supplied into the furnace 21 through the plurality of openings. In the furnace 21, the air supplied from the bottom flows coal, biomass, and fluidized medium to form a fluidized bed, and fuel burns.

The exhaust gas generated in the furnace 21 is introduced into the cyclone 22 along with a fluid medium. Inside the cyclone 22, a swirling flow of exhaust gas is formed, and the fluid medium and the gas are separated by a centrifugal separation action by the swirling flow. The separated fluid medium is discharged from the bottom of the cyclone 22, flows from the top to the bottom in the return line 23, and the fluid medium that has passed through the return line 23 is returned to the bottom of the furnace 21. Thereby, the fluid medium circulates through the furnace 21, the cyclone 22 and the return line 23. The exhaust gas from which the fluid medium has been removed by the cyclone 22 passes through the discharge port 22b, is introduced into the back path 24 at the subsequent stage, and is introduced into the exhaust gas treatment device 4.

The back path 24 is a duct through which exhaust gas is circulated. The back path 24 is provided with a heat recovery unit 25 for recovering the heat of the exhaust gas. The heat recovery unit 25 includes a heat transfer tube that is introduced into the back path 24 and arranged so as to cross the exhaust gas passage. The heat of the exhaust gas flowing in the back path 24 is transferred to and recovered by a fluid (for example, boiler feed water) flowing in the heat transfer pipe.

The exhaust gas flows from the top to the bottom in the back path 24, is discharged from the bottom of the back path 24, and is introduced into the exhaust gas treatment device 4. The exhaust gas treatment device 4 removes fine particles such as fly ash accompanying the exhaust gas and performs a desulfurization process on the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas treated by the exhaust gas treatment device 4 is released from the chimney 26 to the atmosphere, for example.

Also, a furnace wall tube is formed in the furnace 21. The furnace wall tube has a boiler tube for circulating the boiler water, and a fin that protrudes from the boiler tube and connects adjacent boiler tubes. Boiler feed water flows through the boiler tube, heat from the combustion in the furnace 21 is transferred and heated, and steam is generated. The fluid medium that flows in the furnace 21 functions as a heat transfer medium that transmits heat generated by combustion to the furnace wall tube. Water vapor generated by heating is supplied to a power generation turbine and used for power generation.

The fluid medium supply device 3 functions as a supply unit that supplies the fluid medium to the furnace 21. The fluid medium supply device 3 includes a fluid medium storage unit 31, a blower unit 32, a fluid medium transfer unit 33, and a flow rate adjustment unit 34.

The fluid medium storage unit 31 includes a hopper that is a reservoir for storing the fluid medium. A pipe L31 for circulating the fluid medium is connected to the bottom of the hopper, and this pipe L31 is connected to the fluid medium transfer part 33. The fluid medium stored in the hopper is extracted from the bottom of the hopper, and introduced into the fluid medium transfer unit 33 through the pipe.

The blower 32 blows a transport gas for transporting the fluid medium. The blower 32 is a blower that compresses air, for example. The air blower 32 boosts atmospheric pressure air to, for example, 50 kPa. A communication pipe L <b> 32 is connected to the discharge port 32 a of the blower unit 32, and the communication pipe L <b> 32 is connected to the fluid medium transfer unit 33.

The fluid medium transfer unit 33 includes a fluid medium supply pipe L33 which is a pipe connected to the furnace 21. The fluid medium supply pipe L33 is connected to the pipe L31 and the communication pipe L32. The compressed air blown from the blower unit 32 flows into the furnace 21 through the communication pipe L32 and the fluid medium supply pipe L33. A pipe L31 communicating with the fluid medium storage unit 31 is connected to the downstream side of the connecting pipe L32. A downstream pipe from the junction P31 between the connecting pipe L32 and the pipe L31 is referred to as a fluid medium supply pipe L33.

Compressed air discharged from the blower 32 passes through the connecting pipe L32, passes through the merging part P31, and flows into the furnace 21 through the fluid medium supply pipe L33. On the other hand, the fluid medium extracted from the fluid medium storage part 31 falls in the pipe L31, is introduced into the fluid medium supply pipe L33 from the joining part P31, is transported by compressed air, and is supplied into the furnace 21. The

Here, the fluid medium supply device 3 includes a flow rate adjusting valve 34a as the flow rate adjusting unit 34 that adjusts the flow rate of the transport gas. The flow rate adjustment valve 34a includes a valve body (not shown), and drives the valve body to adjust the valve opening to change the cross-sectional area of the flow path. Thereby, the flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the flow rate of the transport gas downstream of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a.

The flow rate adjusting valve 34a is provided on the downstream side of the connecting pipe L32, and is disposed on the upstream side of the junction P31. The flow rate adjustment valve 34a may be provided on the fluid medium supply pipe L33 on the downstream side of the junction P31.

Further, a flow rate detection unit 35 for measuring the flow rate of the transport gas is provided in the communication pipe L32 on the downstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a. For example, an orifice can be used as the flow rate detection unit 35, and the flow rate may be calculated by detecting the differential pressure using the orifice. Other flowmeters may be used as the flow velocity detector 35.

The fluid medium supply device 3 further includes a discharge unit 36 that discharges a part of the transport gas blown from the blower unit 32 to the outside from the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a. The discharge part 36 has a relief pipe L34 connected to the communication pipe L32. The escape pipe L34 is a pipe branched from the connecting pipe L32 on the upstream side of the flow rate adjusting valve 34a, and discharges a part of the transport gas from the connecting pipe L32 to the atmosphere.

Further, the discharge part 36 has a pressure adjustment valve 37a provided in the escape pipe L34 as a pressure adjustment part 37 for adjusting the pressure of the transport gas upstream of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a. The pressure adjustment valve 37a includes a valve body (not shown), and drives the valve body to adjust the valve opening to change the cross-sectional area of the flow path. As a result, the flow rate of the transport gas discharged to the atmosphere through the pressure control valve 37a is adjusted, and the pressure of the transport gas upstream of the pressure control valve 37a is suitably maintained. When the pressure regulating valve 37a is not provided, even if the valve opening degree is adjusted by the flow velocity regulating valve 34a, the upstream transportation gas is released to the atmosphere through the escape pipe L34, and the flow velocity regulating valve. The transport gas does not flow into the downstream side of 34a, and the fluid medium cannot be transported.

Next, the operation of the fluidized bed combustion facility 1 will be described.

Coal and biomass as fuel are introduced into the furnace 21. Further, other combustible waste may be introduced into the furnace 21 as fuel. A fluid medium is accommodated in the furnace 21. The fuel and fluid medium introduced into the furnace 21 are blown up by the air introduced from the bottom of the furnace 21 and burned while flowing. The exhaust gas generated by the combustion and the fluid medium accompanying the exhaust gas are introduced into the cyclone 22 from the gas outlet 21 b at the top of the furnace 21.

The cyclone 22 separates the fluid medium from the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas from which the fluid medium has been removed flows into the back path 24 through the discharge port 22b, and the exhaust heat is recovered by the heat recovery unit 25 and flows into the exhaust gas treatment device 4. The exhaust gas that has flowed into the exhaust gas treatment device 4 is subjected to desulfurization treatment while removing fine particles such as fly ash and is released into the atmosphere through the chimney 26.

On the other hand, the fluid medium separated by the cyclone 22 passes through the return line 23 and is returned to the lower part of the furnace 21.

Also, the fluid medium in the furnace 21 is heated by combustion and transfers heat to the furnace wall tube of the furnace 21. Boiler feed water that flows inside the furnace wall tube is heated to generate water vapor. The generated water vapor is supplied to, for example, a power generation turbine and used for power generation.

The fluid medium is supplied into the furnace 21 by the fluid medium supply device 3 before the fluidized bed combustion facility 1 is operated. Further, the fluid medium supply device 3 may supply the fluid medium into the furnace 21 while the furnace 21 is in operation.

Next, a method for supplying a fluid medium to the furnace 21 will be described. The fluid medium is supplied to the furnace 21 using the fluid medium supply device 3.

First, in the fluid medium supply method, the air is pressurized by the blower 32, and the compressed air, which is the pressurized air, is supplied to the communication pipe L32. The compressed air flowing in the communication pipe L32 passes through the flow rate adjustment valve 34a and flows into the fluid medium supply pipe L33. For example, the discharge flow rate by the blower 32 is maintained constant.

The fluid medium is stored in the fluid medium reservoir 31. In the fluid medium supply method, the fluid medium stored in the fluid medium reservoir 31 is extracted from the bottom of the fluid medium reservoir 31, dropped in the pipe L31, and flows into the fluid medium supply pipe L33 from the junction P31. Let The fluid medium that has flowed into the fluid medium supply pipe L33 is caused to flow by the compressed air, passes through the fluid medium supply port 21a, and is introduced into the furnace 21.

Here, the supply method of the fluid medium includes a step of adjusting the flow rate of the gas transporting the fluid medium. In this fluid medium supply method, the flow rate of the gas transporting the fluid medium is adjusted by adjusting the valve opening degree with the flow velocity adjusting valve 34a. Increasing the valve opening with the flow rate adjusting valve 34a increases the flow rate of air flowing inside to increase the flow rate, and decreasing the valve opening degree with the flow rate adjusting valve 34a reduces the flow rate of air flowing inside. To reduce the flow rate.

Further, based on the flow velocity detected by the flow velocity detector 35, the flow velocity adjustment valve 34a can be controlled to adjust the flow velocity of the air for transportation. When it is desired to suppress the progress of wear damage of the piping through which the fluid medium flows, the air flow rate is reduced.

In addition, in the fluid medium supply method, a part of the transport air flowing through the communication pipe L32 flows into the escape pipe L34 on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a, and is released to the outside of the fluidized bed combustion facility 1. Let At this time, the valve opening degree of the pressure adjustment valve 37a provided in the relief pipe L34 is adjusted to adjust the pressure in the communication pipe L32 upstream of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a. By increasing the valve opening degree of the pressure adjustment valve 37a, the pressure in the connecting pipe L32 upstream of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a is reduced, and by reducing the valve opening degree of the pressure adjustment valve 37a, the flow speed adjustment valve 34a. The pressure in the communication pipe L32 on the upstream side is increased. As a result, the flow rate of air discharged through the escape pipe L34 can be adjusted, the pressure on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a can be adjusted, and the flow rate can be adjusted while keeping the discharge flow rate of the blower 32 constant. By appropriately adjusting the flow rate of the air passing through the valve 34a, the fluidized medium can be suitably transported and supplied into the furnace 21.

According to such a fluidized bed combustion facility 1 and a fluid medium supply method, the flow velocity of air for transportation can be adjusted, so that wear damage of the fluid medium supply pipe L33 through which the fluid medium flows can be suppressed. it can. By reducing the flow velocity of the air for transportation, it is possible to suppress the progress of wear damage of the piping through which the fluid medium flows. Thereby, the lifetime of piping can be extended and the replacement frequency of piping can be suppressed.

Further, in the fluid medium supply device 3, a part of the transport air blown from the air blowing section 32 can be discharged from the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a to the outside of the fluid medium supply device 3, so that the flow rate adjustment valve An increase in pressure can be suppressed on the upstream side of 34a. Thereby, the ventilation part 32 which has a sealing structure can be employ | adopted, and even if the discharge flow rate by this ventilation part 32 is made constant, the flow rate can be reduced by the flow rate adjustment valve 34a, and the excess air at that time is used as the flow rate. The fluid can be discharged from the upstream side of the regulating valve 34a to the outside of the fluid medium supply device 3. As a result, a pressure increase on the upstream side of the flow rate adjustment valve 34a can be suppressed, and a decrease in reliability of the blower 32 can be suppressed.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above embodiment, the gas that transports the fluid medium is air, but the fluid medium may be transported by blowing other gases.

In the above embodiment, the blower is used as the blower, but other blowers such as a compressor may be used. Moreover, the cylinder (storage container) in which the compressed gas is stored may be connected to the communication pipe L32 to blow the gas from the cylinder.

In the above embodiment, the flow rate of the transporting air flowing through the fluid medium supply pipe L33 is adjusted using the flow rate adjusting valve 34a. However, the flow rate of the transporting gas may be adjusted by other methods. . For example, the structure provided with the ventilation part which adjusts the flow rate of the gas for transport by adjusting the discharge flow rate from a ventilation part may be sufficient. In this case, the air blowing unit includes a flow rate adjusting unit that adjusts the gas flow rate. Even if it is the structure provided with such a ventilation part, there exists an effect similar to said embodiment, the damage can be suppressed to the piping through which a fluid medium flows by adjusting the flow velocity of gas. Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide a flow rate adjusting unit separately from the air blowing unit.

Moreover, the flow rate in the fluid medium supply line L33 may be increased or decreased by providing a flow rate adjustment unit that adjusts the flow rate of the transport gas discharged from the escape line L34. Even when such a flow rate adjusting unit is provided, the same effect as the above embodiment can be achieved, the gas flow rate can be adjusted, and damage to the pipe through which the fluid medium flows can be suppressed. Can be kept constant, and the flow velocity in the fluid medium supply pipe L33 can be adjusted.

In addition, the blower unit is equipped with a flow rate adjusting unit that adjusts the discharge flow rate by controlling the rotation speed of a rotating machine (fluid machine such as a blower or compressor) that discharges the gas for transportation, and the flow rate of the gas for transportation Can also be adjusted. The flow speed may be decreased by increasing the rotational speed of the rotating machine to increase the flow speed and decreasing the rotational speed of the rotating machine. In this case, the control part (inverter control part) which controls the rotation speed of a rotary machine becomes a flow volume adjustment part. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be achieved, the gas flow rate can be adjusted, and damage to the piping through which the fluid medium flows can be suppressed. Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide a flow rate adjusting unit separately from the air blowing unit.

Moreover, although the fluid medium supply device 3 includes the escape pipe L34 as the discharge part 36, the discharge part 36 may be an opening provided in the communication pipe L32. Gas for transportation may be discharged from this opening. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the escape pipe L34, and the construction cost can be suppressed. Moreover, although the discharge part 36 is discharging | emitting the gas for transport to air | atmosphere, the pressurized gas can be used for another use. For example, you may use the gas discharged | emitted from the discharge part 36 for transport of other granular materials other than a fluid medium. Thereby, the transporting gas discharged from the blower can be effectively used without being released into the atmosphere. Further, the fluid medium supply device 3 may be configured not to include the discharge unit 36. Thereby, as mentioned above, construction cost can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, the steam generated in the circulating fluidized bed boiler 2 is supplied to the turbine for power generation. However, the steam generated in the circulating fluidized bed boiler 2 is used as a driving source for other rotating machines. It may be used as another heat source, and the use of water vapor is not limited.

In addition, the fluidized bed combustion furnace is not limited to the furnace 21 of the circulating fluidized bed boiler 2, may be a fluidized bed boiler furnace in which the fluid medium does not circulate, a fluidized bed combustion furnace without a boiler, or other incineration equipment. The fluidized bed combustion furnace may be used.

In the above embodiment, sand is used as the fluid medium. However, the fluid medium supplied into the furnace 21 by the fluid medium supply device 3 is not limited to sand, and may be other powders. For example, bottom ash (furnace bottom ash) extracted from the furnace 21 may be supplied to the furnace 21 as a fluid medium. Further, a mixture of sand and bottom ash may be supplied into the furnace 21 using the fluid medium supply device 3. According to such a configuration, the temperature and pressure of the furnace 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of bottom ash extracted. Further, together with the fluidized medium, particles such as a catalyst and a combustible material may be supplied to the fluidized bed combustion furnace using the fluidized medium supply device 3. According to such a configuration, it is not necessary to provide a catalyst inlet for introducing the catalyst into the furnace and a combustible inlet for introducing the combustible material into the furnace. It can be a mouth. Thereby, construction cost can be held down.
