Abstract

The refuse treatment process involves burning some refuse in a smouldering drum (10), producing smoulder gas and smouldering residue. A carbon-rich fraction is separated from the smouldering residue. At least part of this is intended as fuel for a support flame to burn another part of the refuse. This combustion takes place in a revolving tubular furnace (2). The smoulder gas and the carbon-rich fraction of the residue not needed for the support flame can be burnt in a post-combustion chamber (3) of the furnace. A quite small tubular furnace will suffice. No external energy is required to heat it. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Abfallverarbeitung, wobei ein Teil des Abfalls verschwelt wird, wodurch Schwelgas und Schwelreststoff entstehen, und wobei vom Schwelreststoff eine kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion abgetrennt wird.The invention relates to a method for waste processing, wherein part of the waste is carbonized, whereby carbonization gas and carbonization residue are formed, and wherein a carbon-rich fraction is separated from the carbonization residue.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Anlage zur Abfallverarbeitung mit einem Drehrohrofen, in dem ein Brenner angeordnet ist, und mit einer Schweltrommel, die ausgangsseitig mit einer Schwelgasleitung und mit einer Trennvorrichtung für festen Schwelreststoff verbunden ist, von der eine Leitung für eine kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes ausgeht.The invention also relates to a plant for waste processing with a rotary kiln, in which a burner is arranged, and with a carbonization drum, the output side of which is connected to a carbonization gas line and to a separation device for solid carbonization residue, from which a line for a carbon-rich fraction of the carbonization residue originates .

Eine Anlage zur Abfallverarbeitung, bei der ein Teil des angelieferten Abfalls in einen Drehrohrofen und ein anderer Teil in eine Schweltrommel eingebracht werden, ist aus der Tischvorlage der SBW (Sonderabfallentsorgung Baden-Württemberg GmbH), die beim Forum Sonderabfallwirtschaft des Landes Baden-Württemberg zum Thema "Behandlungsverfahren" im Juni 1993 vorgelegt wurde, bekannt. Bei der dort auf Seite 12 gezeigten Anlage wird ein Teil des Abfalls verschwelt. Das Schwelgas wird als Energieträger für die Verbrennung des restlichen Abfalls eingesetzt. Der beim Schwelvorgang anfallende Schwelreststoff wird fraktioniert, wobei Metalle und andere inerte Bestandteile getrennt ausgesondert werden. Eine verbleibende kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes wird dem angelieferten Abfall beigemischt, um dessen Heizwert zu erhöhen.A system for waste processing, in which part of the delivered waste is placed in a rotary kiln and another part in a smoldering drum, is from the table template of the SBW (Sonderabfallentsorgung Baden-Württemberg GmbH), which is discussed at the Forum Baden-Württemberg's special waste management forum "Treatment Procedures" submitted in June 1993 are known. In the plant shown there on page 12, part of the waste is charred. The carbonization gas is used as an energy source for the incineration of the remaining waste. The smoldering residue from the smoldering process is fractionated, whereby metals and other inert components are separated out separately. A remaining carbon-rich fraction of the smoldering residue is mixed with the delivered waste in order to increase its calorific value.

Bei der bekannten Anlage wird die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes zusammen mit Abfall direkt in den Drehrohrofen eingebracht und dort verbrannt. Es muß daher ein entsprechend großer Drehrohrofen vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere muß wegen des großen Durchsatzes häufig eine Wartung oder sogar ein Austausch des Drehrohrofens vorgenommen werden.In the known system, the carbon-rich fraction of the smoldering residue is introduced together with waste directly into the rotary kiln and burned there. A correspondingly large rotary kiln must therefore be provided. Especially Because of the high throughput, maintenance or even replacement of the rotary kiln is often necessary.

Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Anlage anzugeben, die eine deutlich höhere Einsatzzeit und weniger Wartungen des Drehrohrofens ermöglichen.The invention was based on the object of specifying a method and a system which enable a significantly longer operating time and less maintenance of the rotary kiln.

Die Aufgabe, ein geeignetes Verfahren anzugeben, wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß zumindest ein Teil der kohlenstoffreichen Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes als Brennstoff für eine Stützflamme zum Verbrennen eines anderen Teils des Abfalles verwendet wird.The object of specifying a suitable method is achieved according to the invention in that at least part of the carbon-rich fraction of the smoldering residue is used as fuel for a support flame for burning another part of the waste.

Nicht nur das Schwelgas, sondern auch die kohlenstoffhaltige Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes werden unmittelbar als Brennstoff für die Stützflamme eingesetzt, die notwendig ist, um Abfall mit niedrigem Heizwert verbrennen zu können, der in der Regel Sonderabfall ist. Dadurch, daß die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion als Brennstoff und nicht nur zur Erhöhung des Heizwertes von Abfall verwendet wird, belastet sie den Drehrohrofen weniger und die Wartungen des Drehrohrofens können eingeschränkt werden. Außerdem wird vorteilhafterweise anderer Brennstoff, der zum Beheizen des Drehrohrofens notwendig wäre, eingespart. Es brauchen weder Erdgas noch Heizöl eingesetzt zu werden.Not only the carbonization gas, but also the carbon-containing fraction of the carbonization residue are used directly as fuel for the support flame, which is necessary to be able to burn waste with a low calorific value, which is usually hazardous waste. Because the carbon-rich fraction is used as fuel and not only to increase the calorific value of waste, it puts less strain on the rotary kiln and the maintenance of the rotary kiln can be restricted. In addition, other fuel that would be necessary to heat the rotary kiln is advantageously saved. Neither natural gas nor heating oil need be used.

Falls mehr Schwelgas und mehr kohlenstoffreiche Bestandteile des Schwelreststoffes zur Verfügung stehen als für die Stützflamme erforderlich ist, können der Rest des Schwelgases und der Rest der kohlenstoffreichen Fraktion verbrannt werden. Diese Verbrennung kann in einer Nachbrennkammer erfolgen, die dem Drehrohrofen nachgeschaltet ist.If more carbonization gas and more carbon-rich components of the carbonization residue are available than is required for the support flame, the rest of the carbonization gas and the rest of the carbon-rich fraction can be burned. This combustion can take place in an afterburning chamber which is connected downstream of the rotary kiln.

Damit wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß überschüssiges Schwelgas und überschüssige kohlenstoffhaltige Schwelreststoffanteile unter Umgehung des Drehrohrofens in der Nachbrennkammer beseitigt werden. Man kommt vorteilhafterweise wegen des geringeren Durchsatzes mit einem kleinen, kostengünstigen Drehrohrofen aus. Außerdem verringert sich der Wartungsaufwand für den Drehrohrofen. Die Verbrennung der überschüssigen Stoffe in der Nachbrennkammer ist mit einfachen Mitteln möglich, da die Nachbrennkammer keine drehenden Bauteile hatThis has the advantage that excess carbonization gas and excess carbonaceous carbonate residues are eliminated bypassing the rotary kiln in the afterburning chamber become. It is advantageous to use a small, inexpensive rotary kiln because of the lower throughput. In addition, the maintenance effort for the rotary kiln is reduced. The combustion of the excess substances in the afterburning chamber is possible with simple means, since the afterburning chamber has no rotating components

Beispielsweise wird der zu entsorgende Abfall derart vorsortiert, daß üblicher Hausmüll, der einen hohen Heizwert hat, verschwelt wird und daß Sondermüll, dessen Heizwert gering ist, im Drehrohrofen verbrannt wird. Dabei können Sonderabfallgebinde, z.B. Fässer, ungeöffnet direkt in den sehr großen Drehrohrofen eingebracht werden. Die notwendige Beheizung des Drehrohrofens erfolgt mit Schwelgas und kohlenstoffhaltigem Schwelreststoff aus dem Schwelprozeß, die gezielt zu diesem Zweck aus Hausmüll mit einer Schweltrommel hergestellt werden. Überschüssiges Schwelgas und überschüssige kohlenstoffreiche Schwelreststoffanteile können, ohne den Drehrohrofen zu belasten, in der Nachbrennkammer verbrannt werden.For example, the waste to be disposed of is pre-sorted in such a way that normal household waste, which has a high calorific value, is carbonized and that special waste, the calorific value of which is low, is incinerated in a rotary kiln. Special waste containers, e.g. Barrels, unopened, can be placed directly in the very large rotary kiln. The rotary kiln is heated with carbonization gas and carbon-containing carbonization residue from the carbonization process, which are produced specifically for this purpose from household waste with a carbonization drum. Excess carbonization gas and excess carbon-rich carbonate residues can be burned in the afterburning chamber without stressing the rotary kiln.

Die Aufgabe, eine geeignete Anlage zur Abfallverarbeitung anzugeben, wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Leitung für die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes mit dem Brenner im Drehrohrofen verbunden ist.The object of specifying a suitable plant for waste processing is achieved according to the invention in that the line for the carbon-rich fraction of the smoldering residue is connected to the burner in the rotary kiln.

Die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes wird unmittelbar zum Beheizen des Drehrohrofens verwendet. Da die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion nicht zusammen mit dem Abfall in dem Drehrohrofen eingespeist wird, wird der Drehrohrofen weniger belastet und muß weniger oft gewartet werden.The carbon-rich fraction of the smoldering residue is used directly to heat the rotary kiln. Since the carbon-rich fraction is not fed into the rotary kiln together with the waste, the rotary kiln is less stressed and requires less maintenance.

Die von der Schweltrommel ausgehende Schwelgasleitung kann auch mit dem Brenner im Drehrohrofen verbunden sein. Der Brennstoff für diesen Brenner kann also Schwelgas und/oder kohlenstoffhaltiger Schwelreststoff sein. Vorteilhafterweise wird daher kein externer Brennstoff, wie beispielsweise Erdgas, benötigt.The carbonization gas line emanating from the carbonization drum can also be connected to the burner in the rotary kiln. The fuel for this burner can therefore be carbonization gas and / or carbon-containing carbonization residue. No external fuel, such as natural gas, is therefore advantageously required.

Die Schwelgasleitung und/oder die Leitung für die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes können beispielsweise außer mit dem Brenner im Drehrohrofen auch direkt mit einer dem Drehrohrofen nachgeordneten Nachbrennkammer verbunden sein.The carbonization gas line and / or the line for the carbon-rich fraction of the carbonization residue can, for example, in addition to the burner in the rotary kiln, also be connected directly to an afterburning chamber downstream of the rotary kiln.

Damit wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß Schwelgas und kohlenstoffreicher Schwelreststoff, die als Brennstoff nicht benötigt werden, ohne den Drehrohrofen zu belasten in der Nachbrennkammer in einfacher Weise beseitigt werden können. In der Nachbrennkammer ist eine vollständige Verbrennung dieser Stoffe möglich.This has the advantage that carbonization gas and carbon-rich carbonization residue, which are not required as fuel, can be removed in a simple manner in the afterburning chamber without loading the rotary kiln. A complete combustion of these substances is possible in the afterburning chamber.

Beispielsweise sind die Schwelgasleitung und/oder die Leitung für die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion mit steuerbaren Verteileinrichtungen verbunden, die durch erste Leitungszweige mit dem Brenner und durch zweite Leitungszweige mit der Nachbrennkammer verbunden sind. Damit ist vorteilhafterweise möglich, daß das Schwelgas und die kohlenstoffreiche Fraktion des Schwelreststoffes so auf den Brenner und auf die Nachbrennkammer verteilt werden, daß der Brenner stets eine optimale Menge Brennstoff erhält.For example, the carbonization line and / or the line for the carbon-rich fraction are connected to controllable distribution devices which are connected to the burner by first line branches and to the afterburner chamber by second line branches. This advantageously makes it possible for the carbonization gas and the carbon-rich fraction of the carbonization residue to be distributed over the burner and the afterburner chamber in such a way that the burner always receives an optimal amount of fuel.

Beispielsweise ist eine erste Mülleintragsvorrichtung für Hausmüll vorhanden, die mit dem Eingang der Schweltrommel verbunden ist, und es ist eine zweite Mülleintragsvorrichtung für Sondermüll vorhanden, die mit dem Eingang des Drehrohrofens verbunden ist. Damit wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß der Sondermüll im Drehrohrofen und in der nachgeschalteten Nachbrennkammer beseitigt wird und daß mit der Schweltrommel ein für den Brenner des Drehrohrofens bestimmter Brennstoff aus Hausmüll erzeugt wird.For example, there is a first garbage entry device for domestic waste, which is connected to the entrance of the smoldering drum, and there is a second garbage entry device for special waste, which is connected to the entrance of the rotary kiln. This has the advantage that the hazardous waste in the rotary kiln and in the downstream afterburning chamber is eliminated and that a fuel intended for the burner of the rotary kiln is generated from domestic waste with the carbonization drum.

Mit dem Verfahren und der Anlage nach der Erfindung wird insbesondere der Vorteil erzielt, daß kombiniert Hausmüll und Sondermüll entsorgt werden können, ohne daß ein Brennstoff zum Erhitzen des Sondermülls zugekauft werden muß. Außerdem wird durch die Einspeisung von überschüssigem Schwelgas und kohlenstoffreichem Schwelreststoff in die Nachbrennkammer der Durchsatz durch den Drehrohrofen soweit vermindert, daß man mit einem kleinen, kostengünstigen Drehrohrofen auskommt, der außerdem weniger oft als ein großer Drehrohrofen gewartet werden muß.With the method and the system according to the invention, the advantage is achieved in particular that combined household and special waste can be disposed of without a fuel must be purchased to heat the hazardous waste. In addition, through the feeding of excess carbonization gas and carbon-rich carbonization residue into the afterburning chamber, the throughput through the rotary kiln is reduced to such an extent that one can get by with a small, inexpensive rotary kiln, which moreover requires less maintenance than a large rotary kiln.

Das Verfahren und die Anlage nach der Erfindung werden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert:The method and the system according to the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the drawing:

Die Zeichnung zeigt eine Anlage zur Abfallverarbeitung nach der Erfindung.The drawing shows a plant for waste processing according to the invention.

Mit der gezeigten Anlage kann Sondermüll entsorgt werden. Dieser kann auch in Gebinden, z.B. Fassern, angeliefert werden. Der Sondermüll gelangt über eine Eintragsvorrichtung 1 in einen Drehrohrofen 2. Sowohl die Eintragsvorrichtung 1 als auch der Drehrohrofen 2 sind so groß ausgebildet, daß die Gebinde nicht geöffnet zu werden brauchen. Es können ganze gefüllte Fässer in den Drehrohrofen 2 hineingegeben werden. Im Drehrohrofen 2 beträgt die Temperatur etwa 1300 °C. Der Drehrohrofen 2 mündet in eine Nachbrennkammer 3, die sich nicht dreht. Dort beträgt die Temperatur etwa zwischen 1200°C und 1300 °C. Von der Nachbrennkammer 3 gehen eine Schlackeableitung 4 und eine Rauchgasableitung 5 aus. Die Schlacke und das Rauchgas werden in üblicher Weise weiterbehandelt. Das Rauchgas kann zur Wärmeableitung durch einen Abhitzekessel 6 geleitet werden. Von dort gelangt es über eine Rauchgasreinigungsvorrichtung 7 zu einem Kamin 8. Da der Sondermüll einen sehr geringen Heizwert hat, muß er im Drehrohrhofen 2 durch einen dort angeordneten Brenner 9 erhitzt werden. Diesem Brenner 9 muß, ein Brennstoff zugeführt werden.Special waste can be disposed of with the system shown. This can also be used in containers, e.g. Barrels to be delivered. The hazardous waste is fed into a rotary kiln 2 via an entry device 1. Both the entry device 1 and the rotary kiln 2 are so large that the containers do not need to be opened. Whole filled drums can be put into the rotary kiln 2. In the rotary kiln 2, the temperature is about 1300 ° C. The rotary kiln 2 opens into an afterburning chamber 3 which does not rotate. There the temperature is between 1200 ° C and 1300 ° C. A slag discharge 4 and a flue gas discharge 5 emanate from the afterburning chamber 3. The slag and the flue gas are further processed in the usual way. The flue gas can be passed through a waste heat boiler 6 for heat dissipation. From there it reaches a chimney 8 via a flue gas cleaning device 7. Since the hazardous waste has a very low calorific value, it must be heated in the rotary kiln 2 by a burner 9 arranged there. A fuel must be supplied to this burner 9.

Damit kein externer Brennstoff, wie beispielsweise Erdgas, benötigt wird, ist eine Schweltrommel 10 vorhanden, der über eine Eintragsvorrichtung 11 Hausmüll zugeleitet wird, der in der Regel einen hohen Heizwert hat. In der Schweltrommel 10 werden Schwelgas und fester Schwelreststoff gebildet. Das Schwelgas wird über eine Schwelgasleitung 15 einer Verteileinrichtung 12 zugeführt. Von dort wird Schwelgas über einen Leitungszweig 15a dem Brenner 9 als Brennstoff zugeleitet. Das restliche Schwelgas gelangt von der Verteileinrichtung 12 aus über einen Leitungszweig 15b direkt in die Nachbrennkammer 3. Der Schwelreststoff gelangt von einem Austragsgehäuse 10a der Schweltrommel 10 in eine Trennvorrichtung 13. Dort werden die groben Anteile von den feinen Anteilen des Schwelreststoffes getrennt. Die groben Anteile sind dabei Steine, Metalle und andere inerte Stoffe, die über einen Austrag 17 abgegeben werden. Sie können weiter separiert und wieder verwendet werden. Der feine Anteil ist kohlenstoffreich. Er wird über eine Leitung 16 einer Verteileinrichtung 14 zugeführt. Von dort wird kohlenstoffreicher Schwelreststoff über einen Leitungszweig 16a dem Brenner 9 als Brennstoff zugeleitet. Der restliche kohlenstoffreiche Schwelreststoff gelangt von der Verteileinrichtung 14 aus über einen Leitungszweig 16b direkt in die Nachbrennkammer 3. Die Verteileinrichtungen 12, 14 führen nur soviel Brennstoff dem Brenner 9 zu wie dort benötigt wird.So that no external fuel, such as natural gas, is required, a smoldering drum 10 is provided, which is fed in via an entry device 11 domestic waste, which in usually has a high calorific value. Smoldering gas and solid smoldering residue are formed in the smoldering drum 10. The carbonization gas is fed to a distribution device 12 via a carbonization gas line 15. From there, carbonization gas is fed to the burner 9 as fuel via a line branch 15a. The remaining carbonization gas passes from the distribution device 12 via a line branch 15b directly into the afterburning chamber 3. The carbonization residue arrives from a discharge housing 10a of the carbonization drum 10 in a separating device 13. There the coarse portions are separated from the fine portions of the carbonization residue. The coarse fractions are stones, metals and other inert substances which are released via a discharge 17. They can be further separated and used again. The fine portion is high in carbon. It is fed to a distribution device 14 via a line 16. From there, carbon-rich smoldering residue is fed to the burner 9 as fuel via a line branch 16a. The remaining carbon-rich smoldering residue reaches the afterburning chamber 3 from the distribution device 14 via a line branch 16b. The distribution devices 12, 14 supply only as much fuel to the burner 9 as is required there.

Außer dem gezeigten Brenner 9 im Drehrohrofen 2 kann auch ein nicht dargestellter ähnlicher Brenner, der sich in der Nachbrennkammer 3 befinden kann, mit Schwelgas und kohlenstoffreichem Schwelreststoff versorgt werden.In addition to the burner 9 shown in the rotary kiln 2, a similar burner (not shown), which can be located in the afterburning chamber 3, can also be supplied with carbonization gas and carbon-rich carbonization residue.

Mit der gezeigten Anlage wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß die Heizenergie, die für die Entsorgung von Sondermüll notwendig ist, mit Hilfe einer parallel betriebenen Schweltrommel 10 aus Hausmüll erzeugt wird. Gleichzeitig ist eine Verwendung des kohlenstoffhaltigen Schwelreststoffes möglich. Da überschüssiger Schwelreststoff, wie auch überschüssiges Schwelgas, die nicht für die Erwärmung des Sondermülls notwendig sind, direkt in die Nachbrennkammer 3 eingespeist werden, kommt man mit einem relativ kleinen und daher kostengünstigen Drehrohrofen 2 aus, der nur wenig gewartet werden muß.With the system shown, the advantage is achieved that the heating energy, which is necessary for the disposal of hazardous waste, is generated from domestic waste with the help of a smoldering drum 10 operated in parallel. At the same time, use of the carbonaceous smoldering residue is possible. Since excess carbonization residue, as well as excess carbonization gas, which are not necessary for heating the hazardous waste, are fed directly into the afterburning chamber 3, you get by with a relatively small and therefore inexpensive rotary kiln 2, which requires little maintenance.
