Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flue gas purification plant with a fluidized bed reactor and a downstream of the fluidized bed reactor separation unit.
  • Such flue gas cleaning plants serve to carry out processes for the separation of noxious gases such.
  • HCl, HF, SO 2 and the addition of absorbents such as hearth furnace coke or activated carbon and dioxins, furans and heavy metals, z.
  • a flue gas is fed to a fluidized bed reactor via a feed line corresponding cross section.
  • a sorbent is in the reactor or is supplied to this.
  • the dimensionless numbers Re, Fr, Ar forms a fluidized bed.
  • the reactor is operated with a circulating fluidized bed or by the fly-flow method.
  • the flue gas and the sorbent react with each other. These reactions can be harmful gases from the flue gas to be deposited.
  • the flue gas is passed along with the entrained Abscheidungs Wegdesignn via a transition piece from the fluidized bed reactor to a downstream deposition unit, such as a fiber filter or electric filter. In this separation unit, the residues are separated from the flue gas.
  • the cleaned flue gas can be released into the atmosphere, while the separated solids are returned to the fluidized bed reactor or collected and disposed of or reused.
  • the known from the prior art for flue gas purification reactors are designed for flow reasons, to obtain a symmetrical distribution of solids, with a circular flow area.
  • the cross-sectional size of the reactor is determined by the volume flow of the flue gas to be purified and the flow rate required in the reactor.
  • the flue gas ducts entering and exiting the reactor usually have a rectangular cross-section.
  • the reactor upstream or downstream units, such as boiler or filter, also have a rectangular flow area.
  • transition pieces are used by which the required cross-sectional transitions from round to square or from square to round are made possible. Disadvantageously, the use of such transition pieces causes increased material consumption and leads to a general increase in the cost of a flue gas cleaning system.
  • deposition units with a large cross-section are used within the flue gas purification plant, such as large-scale electrostatic precipitators, a uniform flow of the filter over its entire cross-sectional area can be ensured only with difficulty when using a reactor with a round reactor cross-section of predetermined geometry.
  • the invention is based on the invention to propose a generic flue gas cleaning system, which consumes less material over the prior art, saves costs and can be realized or retrofitted especially for use in confined spaces.
  • a flue gas cleaning system in which the reactor space of the fluidized bed reactor has a substantially rectangular cross-section orthogonal to the flow direction, whose width-to-depth ratio can be variably determined as a function of the cross-sectional size required for the flue gas volume flow to be cleaned.
  • the geometry of such a reactor is advantageously variable at a constant cross-section and can be adapted to tight spaces well. Due to the cross-sectional shape of each required flow area can be realized by means of different depth / width ratios of the reactor cross-section, whereby the reactor according to the request requirements, for example, with shallow depth and large width or with small width and large depth can be performed. By varying the dimensions of the flow cross-section of the reactor there is the possibility that, for example in the context of retrofitting already existing equipment such as filters can be used, which leads to further cost savings.
  • Reactors with reactor chambers of rectangular cross-section are simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • a fluidized bed reactor with rectangular cross-section advantageously eliminated the previously necessary _ _
  • Transition pieces of rectangular cross sections of flue gas ducts or boiler or separation units on the round cross-section of the reactor are possible.
  • the flow of the separation units is considerably improved by the rectangular cross-sectional shape of the reactor space.
  • a uniform formation of the traversed by the flue gas cross section is to strive for the entire flue gas cleaning system.
  • unnecessary turbulence and dead flow areas in the flue gas path are largely avoided.
  • the entire system can be made more compact and flexible due to the rectangular cross-sectional shape of the reactor space, which also savings in steel construction are possible.
  • the fluidized bed reactor has a substantially rectangular outer contour corresponding to the reactor space.
  • the cross-sectional width and / or cross-sectional depth of the reactor space of the fluidized bed reactor corresponds to the cross-sectional dimensions of flue gas ducts upstream and / or downstream units of the flue gas purification system. If the dimensions of the reactor space of the fluidized bed reactor and the dimensions of the flue gas ducts of units connected to the fluidized bed reactor of the flue gas cleaning system matched, so turbulence and dead flow areas within the flue gas path are largely avoided, which favors undisturbed operations of the flue gas cleaning system. In addition, the flow of all units is improved, whereby the use of transition pieces to increase or decrease the flow-through cross-section can be omitted, which in turn leads to cost savings and to a reduction in the required installation space of the flue gas cleaning system.
  • the fluidized-bed reactor has at least one diffuser nozzle, preferably with a round or rectangular cross-section.
  • the diffuser nozzles are advantageously arranged side by side in one or more rows.
  • a further embodiment of the invention advantageously provides that the diffuser nozzles are placed in a staggered arrangement. Due to the variable design of the arrangement of the diffuser nozzles almost any cross-sectional shapes of the reactor space are possible. By varying the number of diffuser nozzles, these possibilities are further improved.
  • the circulating fluid bed reactor is operable.
  • the reactor is an entrained flow absorber.
  • the separation unit is advantageously an electrostatic precipitator. Due to the good flow of the electrostatic precipitator due to coordinated cross-sectional geometries of the electrostatic filter is operated with good efficiency.
  • the invention can advantageously be flexibly adapted to the particular composition of the flue gas to be purified and the spatial arrangement of equipment.
  • electrostatic precipitators and bag filters as a separation unit, of course, the use of other separation units, such as deflecting, lamella or cyclones, possible.
  • a mechanical pre-separation device is arranged in a flue gas channel between the fluidized-bed reactor and the separation unit. By means of such a pre-separation device, the flue gas leaving the fluidized-bed reactor can be pre-cleaned before the actual filtration, whereby the service life of the filters used is prolonged.
