Definitions

  • This invention relates to tangentially fired, fossil fuel furnaces, and more specifically, to overfire air systems for reducing the NO x emissions from tangentially fired, pulverized coal furnaces.
  • Pulverized coal has been successfully burned in suspension in furnaces by tangential firing methods for a long time.
  • the tangential firing technique involves introducing the fuel and air into a furnace from the four corners thereof so that the fuel and air are directed tangent to an imaginary circle in the center of the furnace.
  • This type of firing has many advantages, among them being good mixing of the fuel and the air, stable flame conditions, and long residence time of the combustion gases in the furnaces.
  • thermal NO x results from the thermal fixation of molecular nitrogen and oxygen in the combustion air.
  • the rate of formation of thermal NO x is extremely sensitive to local flame temperature and somewhat less so to local concentration of oxygen.
  • Virtually all thermal NO x is formed at the region of the flame which is at the highest temperature.
  • the thermal NO x concentration is subsequently "frozen” at the level prevailing in the high temperature region by the thermal quenching of the combustion gases.
  • the flue gas thermal NO x concentrations are, therefore, between the equilibrium level characteristic of the peak flame temperature and the equilibrium level at the flue gas temperature.
  • fuel NO x derives from the oxidation of organically bound nitrogen in certain fossil fuels such as coal and heavy oil.
  • the formation rate of fuel NO x is strongly affected by the rate of mixing of the fuel and air stream in general, and by the local oxygen concentration in particular.
  • the flue gas NO x concentration due to fuel nitrogen is typically only a fraction, e.g., 20 to 60 percent, of the level which would result from complete oxidation of all nitrogen in the fuel. From the preceding it should thus now be readily apparent that overall NO x formation is a function both of local oxygen levels and of peak flame temperatures.
  • auxiliary air is directed at a circle of larger diameter than that of the fuel, thus forming a layer of air adjacent the walls.
  • overfire air consisting essentially of all of the excess air supplied to the furnace, is introduced into the furnace at a level considerably above all of the primary and auxiliary air introduction levels, with the overfire air being directed tangentially to an imaginary circle, and in a direction opposite to that of the auxiliary air.
  • Patent Number 4,669,3908 an apparatus is provided which is characterized by a first pulverized fuel injection compartment in which the combined amount of primary air and secondary air to be consumed is less than the theoretical amount of air required for the combustion of the pulverized fuel to be fed as mixed with the primary air to a furnace, by a second pulverized fuel injection compartment in which the combined primary and secondary air amount is substantially equal to, or, preferably, somewhat less than, the theoretical air for the fuel to be fed as mixed with the primary air, and by a supplementary air compartment for injecting supplementary air into the furnace, the three compartments being arranged close to one another.
  • the gaseous mixtures of primary air and pulverized fuel injected by the first and second pulverized fuel injection compartments of the apparatus are mixed in such proportions as to reduce the NO x production.
  • the primary air-pulverized fuel mixture from the second pulverized fuel injection compartment which alone can hardly be ignited stably, is allowed to coexist with the flame of the readily ignitible mixture from the first pulverized fuel injection compartment to ensure adequate ignition and combustion.
  • An apparatus is thus allegedly provided for firing pulverized fuel with stable ignition and low NO x production.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the teachings of U. S. Patent Number 4,669,398 is characterized in that additional compartments for issuing an inert fluid are disposed, one for each, in spaces provided between the three compartments.
  • the gaseous mixtures of primary air and pulverized fuel are thus kept from interfering with each other by a curtain of the inert fluid from one of the inert fluid injection compartments, and the production of NO x from the gaseous mixtures that are discharged from the first and second pulverized fuel injection compartments allegedly can be minimized.
  • the primary air-pulverized fuel mixture from the first pulverized fuel injection compartment and the supplementary air from the supplementary air compartment are prevented from interfering with each other by another curtain of the inert fluid from another compartment. This allegedly permits the primary air-pulverized fuel mixture to burn without any change in the mixing ratio, thus avoiding any increase in the NO x production.
  • the stream is separated into two portions, with one portion being a fuel rich portion and the other portion being a fuel lean portion.
  • the fuel rich portion is introduced into the furnace in a first zone. Air is also introduced into the first zone in a quantity insufficient to support complete combustion of all of the fuel in the fuel rich portion.
  • the fuel lean portion is introduced into the furnace in a second zone. Also, air is introduced into the second zone in a quantity such that there is excess air over that required for combustion of all of the fuel within the furnace.
  • lime is introduced into the furnace simultaneously with the fuel so as to minimize the peak temperature within the furnace and so as to also minimize the formation of NO x and SO x in the combustion gases.
  • overfire air The theory of NO x emissions reduction by overfire air is as follows. Operation with overfire air inhibits the rate of NO x formation by both atmospheric nitrogen fixation (thermal NO x ) and fuel nitrogen oxidation (fuel NO x ).
  • the use of overfire air reduces the total oxygen available in the primary flame zone.
  • fuel nitrogen undergoes a recombination reaction to form molecular nitrogen, N 2 , rather than nitrogen oxide, simply due to insufficient oxygen in this zone and the intense competition with carbon species for the available oxygen. Consequently, the formation of NO x through fuel nitrogen conversion is greatly reduced.
  • overfire air operation results in reduction of thermal NO x formation through the temperature dependent Zeldovich mechanism.
  • Heat release during the initial stages of combustion in the primary flame zone is somewhat reduced and delayed due to the reduced oxygen environment, with combustion ideally completed in the vicinity of the overfire air injection ports.
  • the stretching of the heat release over a greater furnace volume results in lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing thermal NO x formation.
  • overfire air is through one or two closely grouped ports at a single fixed elevation at the top of the windbox, referred to as close-coupled overfire air, or at a higher elevation, referred to as separated overfire air.
  • Experimental testing has shown a significant reduction in NO x with fossil fuel firing when, for a fixed total quantity of overfire air, the overfire air is introduced partly through close-couple overfire air ports and partly through separated overfire air ports.
  • experimental testing has shown that there exists a most favorable distribution of overfire air between the close coupled overfire air ports and the separated overfire air ports. In the case of bituminous coal, for example, this most favorable distribution has 1/3 of the overfire air flowing through the close coupled overfire air ports and 2/3 of the overfire air flowing through the separated overfire air ports.
  • overfire air is introduced into a furnace such that the air mixes with furnace gases in a controlled and thorough manner is also critical to maximizing overfire air effectiveness.
  • Test data has shown that improvements in NO x emissions are attainable when the overfire air is injected from each furnace corner through two, three or more compartments with each compartment introducing a portion of the total overfire air flow at different firing angles such as to achieve a horizontal "spray” or “fan” distribution of air over the furnace plan area as compared to when other injection patterns are utilized for purposes of injecting the overfire air into the furnace.
  • furnace outlet conditions are also improved inasmuch as a more uniform flame pattern is created at the vertical outlet plane of the furnace.
  • All tangentially fired, fossil fuel furnaces have a nonuniform flow pattern in the convective pass due to the tangential lower furnace flow pattern. This nonuniform flow pattern results in more flow on one side than the other and creates a side-to-side imbalance in steam temperature.
  • overfire air mixing with the furnace gases can be had by introducing the overfire air at high momentum.
  • the overfire air is introduced at velocities significantly above those typically employed in prior art firing systems, e.g., 60 to 90 m./sec. (200 to 300 ft./sec.) versus 30 to 45 m./sec. (100 to 150 ft./sec.).
  • a boost fan may be needed to attain these higher overfire air velocities.
  • a firing system employing high momentum overfire air is found in US-A 4501 204.
  • a firing system that introduces fuel and air into a tangentially fired pulverized coal furnace at a burner level and tangentially to an imaginary circle such that a resultant fireball moves upward within the furnace with a rotational spin.
  • High pressure and low pressure overfire air is introduced into the furnace through horizontally and vertically tiltable nozzles above the fuel and air, tangential to an imaginary circle but in the reverse rotational direction to that of the fireball and with sufficient velocity so as to nullify the spin of the fireball.
  • exhaust gases leaving the furnace flow in a straight line with little or no spin removing potential temperature imbalance problems.
  • an advanced overfire air system for NO x control which is designed for use in a firing system of the type that is particularly suited for employment in fossil fuel-fired furnaces embodying a burner region.
  • the subject advanced overfire air system includes multi-elevations of overfire air compartments. These multi-elevations of overfire air compartments consist of a plurality of close coupled overfire air compartments and a plurality of separated overfire air compartments.
  • the plurality of close coupled overfire air compartments are suitably supported at a first elevation within the burner region of the furnace.
  • a close coupled overfire air nozzle is supported in mounted relation within each of the plurality of close coupled overfire air compartments.
  • the plurality of separated overfire air compartments are suitably supported at a second elevation within the burner region of the furnace so as to be spaced from but aligned with the plurality of close coupled overfire air compartments.
  • a plurality of separated overfire air nozzles are supported in mounted relation within the plurality of separated overfire air compartments such that the plurality of separated overfire air nozzles extend at different angles relative to each other whereby the overfire air exiting therefrom establishes a horizontal "spray” or "fan” distribution of overfire air over the plan area of the burner region of the furnace.
  • An overfire air supply means is operatively connected to both the close coupled overfire air nozzles and to the separated overfire air nozzles for supplying overfire air thereto in accordance with a predetermined most favorable distribution of overfire air therebetween and for supplying overfire air through the separated overfire air nozzles into the burner region of the furnace at velocities significantly higher than the velocities employed heretodate in prior art firing systems to inject overfire air into a furnace.

Ledit système perfectionné à air de surcombustion permettant de contrôler le NOx comprend plusieurs hauteurs de compartiments à air de surcombustion (84, 86) et plusieurs compartiments séparés à air de surcombustion (94, 96, 98). Les compartiments couplés serrés (84, 86) à air de surcombustion sont supportés au niveau d'une première hauteur dans le four (10) et les compartiments séparés (94, 96, 98) à air de surcombustion sont supportés au niveau d'une deuxième hauteur dans le four (10) de manière à être espacés des compartiments couplés serrés à air de surcombustion (94, 96, 98) tout en étant alignés par rapport à ces derniers. L'air de surcombustion est distribué (106, 92) aux compartiments couplés serrés à air de surcombustion (84, 86) ainsi qu'aux compartiments séparés à air de surcombustion (94, 96, 98) de sorte que s'effectue entre les compartiments la meilleure distribution prédéterminée possible, de sorte que l'air de surcombustion (106) provenant des compartiments séparés à air de surcombustion (94, 96, 98) produise une distribution par 'pulvérisation' ou 'ventilation' horizontale (124, 126, 128) d'air de surcombustion au-dessus de la surface plane du four, et de sorte que l'air de surcombustion (106) s'échappe des compartiments séparés à air de surcombustion (94, 96, 98) à des vitesses beaucoup plus importantes que les vitesses employées jusqu'à présent.
