Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce an amount of NOX without increasing soot and dust in the exhaust gas by a method wherein a speed of air and the like fed from a multi- stage burner and an after-air port is gradually increased in sequence along a flowing direction of the combusted waste gas. CONSTITUTION:Air and the like are injected from each of the burners 3 to 5 and the throat parts of the after-air ports 6 and 7 and their injection speeds are set such that they are gradually increased in sequence from a lower stage burner 3, upper stage burner 5 and front and rear after-air ports 6 and 7 which are arranged along a flowing direction of the combustioned discharged gas as shown as a speed vector 9 of lower stage burner, a speed vector 10 of medium stage burner, a speed vector 11 of upper stage burner, a speed vector 12 of a front side after-air and a speed vector 13 of a rear side after-air. Thereby, it is made possible to reduce NOX without increasing the soot and dust in the discharged gas.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable to use as the fuel of a boiler coal containing high iron content without the occurrence of slagging, by a method wherein burners at plural stages are installed, coal containing high iron content is fed to the burner at a lowermost stage, and the burner at the uppermost stage takes the form of a denitrificating burner. CONSTITUTION:Burners 2, 3 and 4, positioned at the lower part of a boiler furnance 1, are aligned in 3 stages, the burners 2 at a lower stage and the burner 3 at a middle stage form a main burner, and the burner 4 at an upper stage forms a denitrating burner. Coal containing high iron content contained in a banker 5 is the coal which has the amount of iron in ash being 10% or more in consideration of the softening and the melting temperature of coal ash. Coal containing high iron content, pulverized by a mill 7, is fed to the burner at the lowermost stage through a fuel pipe 13 by an air fan 12 to charge it into the furnace 1. In the burner 2 at the lowermost stage, an air ratio is set to 1.0 to form an oxidizing atmosphere. Thus, ash content is prevented from softening and melting as in a reducing atmosphere. Meanwhile, in the burner 4 at the upper stage, an air ratio is set to 0.8 or less, whereby a reducing atmosphere is produced and a boiler is capable of achieving low NOX combustion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of making a mineral melt, the method comprising providing a circulating combustion chamber which comprises an upper zone, a lower zone and a base zone, injecting primary particulate fuel and particulate mineral material and primary combustion gas into the upper zone of the circulating combustion chamber, thereby at least partially combusting the primary particulate fuel and thereby melting the particulate mineral material to form a mineral melt and generating exhaust gases, injecting into the lower zone of the circulating combustion chamber, through at least one first burner, secondary combustion gas and gaseous fuel and secondary particulate fuel, wherein the secondary combustion gas and gaseous fuel and secondary particulate fuel are injected via a single first burner, wherein the amount of secondary combustion gas injected via each first burner is insufficient for stoichiometric combustion of the total amount of gaseous fuel and secondary particulate fuel injected via that first burner, and injecting tertiary combustion gas into the lower zone of the circulating combustion chamber, through at least one tertiary combustion gas injector, whereby the tertiary combustion gas enables completion of the combustion of the gaseous fuel and the secondary particulate fuel, separating the mineral melt from the hot exhaust gases so that the hot exhaust gases pass through an outlet in the circulating combustion chamber and the mineral melt collects in the base zone. The invention also relates to apparatus suitable for use in the method.
Abstract:
An oxy-combustion boiler unit is disclosed which includes a furnace for combusting fuel and for emitting flue gas resulting from combustion. The furnace has first, second and third combustion zones, and an air separation unit for separating oxygen gas from air and providing a first portion of the separated oxygen to a first oxidant flow, a second portion to a second oxidant flow, and a third portion of the separated oxygen gas to the first, second, and third zones of the furnace. A controller can cause the separated oxygen gas to be distributed so that the first and second oxygen flows have a desired oxygen content, and so that the first, second, and third zones of the furnace receive a desired amount of oxygen based on a combustion zone stoichiometry control.

A solid-fuel-fired burner that suppresses a high-temperature oxygen remaining region formed at the outer circumference of a flame and that can decrease the amount of NOx eventually produced is provided. A solid-fuel-fired burner that is used in a burner section of a solid-fuel-fired boiler for performing low-NOx combustion separately in the burner section and in an additional-air injection section and that injects powdered solid-fuel and air into a furnace includes a fuel burner having internal flame stabilization and a secondary-air injection port that does not perform flame stabilization, in which the air ratio in the fuel burner is set to 0.85 or more.

Abstract:
A method to reduce mercury in gas emissions from the combustion of coal is disclosed. Mercury emissions can be reduced by staging combustion process and/or reducing boiler excess oxygen. Fly ash formed under combustion staging conditions is more reactive towards mercury than fly ash formed under typical combustion conditions. Reducing boiler excess oxygen can also improve ability of fly ash to adsorb mercury.
Abstract:
Tertiary nozzle of port for gas injection into furnace includes a contracted flow producing channel provided obliquely toward central axis from the upstream side of gas flow so that the gas flow has a velocity component heading from the outer circumferential side of the port toward the central axis and a velocity component heading along the central axis toward the interior of the furnace, and including louver disposed for guiding so that the gas flows along the surface of throat wall of enlarged pipe configuration wherein the gas channel is enlarged at a furnace wall opening disposed at an outlet area of the contracted flow producing channel. Accordingly, there can be provided a gas injection port that not depending on conditions, such as the flow rate of gas injected from the port, without inviting any complication of apparatus structuring or cost increase, enables preventing of the growth in lump form of clinker caused by ash adhesion and fusion on the wall surface of throat enlarged pipe portion of the furnace.
