Design parameters
3. Boiler design parameters
3.1 Main equipment and parameters
Rated evaporation capacity (t/h) flue gas volume (Nm3/h) NOx concentration (mg/Nm3) Boiler type: 35000 4950
3.2 Current Power Supply Status
Electric motors of 200kW and above use a voltage of 6kV. Motor power supply voltage: High voltage 6 kV; Low voltage 380 V
4 main design principles determined:
4.1 Denitrification efficiency
When optimizing the conditions, SCR can achieve a denitrification efficiency of about 90%, and during short-term demonstration periods on small and medium-sized boilers, it can achieve a denitrification efficiency of 98%. Typical long-term on-site applications can achieve a NOx removal rate of 90% to 95%.
Therefore, this technical solution is designed with a design efficiency of 94%.
At present, the emission concentration of the boiler is around 4950mg/Nm3, and a design efficiency of 94% can meet the requirements of the atmospheric pollutant emission standards for thermal power plants (GB13223-2011).
4.2 Ammonia escape concentration
This project plans to use ammonia water as a denitrification reducing agent. In practical engineering applications, due to the uneven mixing of NH3 and NOx, as well as the temperature deviation of the reducing agent injection point from the optimal temperature window, NH3 and NOx cannot fully react, resulting in a small amount of ammonia escaping from the reaction device with the flue gas without participating in the reaction. This situation is called ammonia escape.
The escape of ammonia cannot be completely avoided, but it can be controlled. The main reason is that the escaped ammonia is a form of secondary pollution, and another important reason is that the escaped ammonia can cause corrosion and blockage of equipment at the rear of the boiler, including the air preheater. Ammonia escape in denitrification reactions can mainly lead to:
Ammonium bisulfate is generated and deposited in downstream equipment such as air preheaters, causing corrosion and blockage; Causing secondary pollution of aerosols; Increasing NH3 compounds in fly ash has an impact on comprehensive utilization.
During the combustion process of boilers, the majority of elemental sulfur in coal is burned to produce SO2, but a small amount of SO3 is inevitably generated. Although the amount of SO3 generated during combustion is very limited, its impact cannot be underestimated. The reason why SCR has stricter requirements for ammonia escape compared to SNCR denitrification process is because SCR uses a denitrification catalyst, which increases the conversion rate of SO2/SO3. When SO3 in the flue gas reacts with escaped ammonia that does not participate in denitrification reaction, ammonium compounds NH4HSO4 and (NH4) 2SO4 will be generated. NH4HSO4 is liquid at 180-240 ℃ and solid at temperatures below 180 ℃. Ammonium bisulfate has strong corrosiveness and viscosity, which can cause corrosion and damage to boiler tail flue equipment including air preheater, electrostatic precipitator, etc.
In addition, some of this condensate will deposit on the fly ash and some will adhere to the surface of the air preheater, so more than 80% of the escaped ammonia will be adsorbed by the fly ash and enter the dust removal equipment. Research has found that gaseous NH3 is adsorbed onto fly ash in electrostatic precipitators. After passing through the dust collector, a small amount of ammonia will be carried into the downstream FGD.
Therefore, both SCR and SNCR have strict limitations on the escape of ammonia. Usually, when the ammonia escape of SCR is controlled below 10ppm, it will not cause blockage or corrosion on the heating surface of the boiler, and will not have a significant impact on downstream air preheaters, induced draft fans, FGDs, ESP (FF), etc.
Therefore, the ammonia escape in this project plan will be strictly controlled below 10ppm, which will not cause problems such as increased pressure loss and corrosion of the heating surface and dust collector, nor will it affect the comprehensive utilization of fly ash.
