Waste Incinerator

Abstract

A waste incinerator, in a vertical structure and including from the top down: a drying section, a destructive distillation section, a reduction section, and a combustion section. The combustion section includes: two layers of grate bars, a first combustion layer, a second combustion layer, and a third combustion layer. The heat produced from the combustion in the combustion section is used to heat the carbide in the reduction section. The heated carbide reduces CO.sub.2 produced in the combustion into CO (coal gas). The coal gas ascends to the destructive distillation section through the ambient coal gas chamber to heat and destructively distillate the waste to produce the pyrogenic coal gas and the carbide. The carbide drops to the combustion section for combustion, and the pyrogenic coal gas and the coal gas are collected by the draft fan.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0037] For further illustrating the invention, experiments detailing a waste incinerator are described below. It should be noted that the following examples are intended to describe and not to limit the invention.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1A, a vertical type negative-pressure incinerator utilizing destructive distillation adopts a cubic and open structure. Inside the unit of the destructive distillation incinerator, a drying section 22, a destructive distillation section 23 are filled with the waste. The non-combusted high-temperature carbide after destructive distillation is accommodated in the reduction section 24. The combustion section is divided, by an upper layer of grate bars 3 and a lower layer of grate bars 5, into a first combustion layer 25, a second combustion layer 26, and a third combustion layer 27 (also an ash section), and the carbide being combusted is accommodated in the combustion section. The waste reaching the destructive distillation section 23 is totally dried and does not contain any water content, only in such condition, the waste can be decomposed into the carbide residue. The carbide residue then drops down to the reduction section 24 where the carbide residue is heated to a high temperature state. Thereafter, the carbide residue reaches the first combustion layer 25 and is fully combusted when contacting with the air or the oxygen-enriched air. The waste incinerator in the prior art adopts direct combustion of the waste without destructive distillation, which has poor combustibility. Incomplete drying of the waste always causes the difficulty in combustion and defects of incomplete combustion of the waste. As intervals of an upper layer of the grate bars are wider than intervals of a lower layer of the grate bars, when the carbide in the first combustion layer 25 is combusted, carbide having reduced volumes automatically drops to the second combustion layer 26 to continue combustion; as the volume of the carbide further reduces, the carbide falls from the lower layer of the grate bars 3 to the third combustion layer 27 to continue combustion until the carbide is completely combusted. Incombustible ash remains in the ash section 27 and is input by an ash discharging mechanism to an ash chute 30 so as to discharge the ash out of the incinerator. In condition that the ash has large mass and is unable to drop to the ash section, the door of the incinerator is open to picked out the ash of the large mass by a hook. The upper layer of grate bars 5 and the lower layer of grate bars 3 adopts different intervals to realize the automatic fire poking, enlarge the height of the combustion zone, improve the combustion efficiency, and ensure complete combustion of the carbide. Side walls of furnaces 7, 9, cooling plates 10, and gas collection pipes 11 are made of stainless refractory steel to ensure the high-temperature endurance of such structures. Besides, by automatic closed-loop control of the combustion temperature, abnormal combustion is avoided. An outer layer 8 of the coal gas chamber is a thermal insulation layer and filled with materials possessing excellent thermal insulation (the coefficient of heat conduction is generally lower by one magnitude order than the common refractory material), and an outer surface of the incinerator is provided with a protective shell 21.

[0039] To realize the automatic closed-loop control of the combustion temperature (as shown in FIG. 1C), the lower part of the coal gas chamber 7 is divided into four zones 7-I, 7-II, 7-III, and 7-IV. Temperatures of the coal gas chamber detected by the temperature monitoring points 6 represent the combustion state of corresponding zones.

[0040] Corresponding gas/water feeding channels 4 are controlled by the system for automatic closed-loop control of the combustion temperature, the air (oxygen-enriched air) or the water vapor is fed to the incinerator to ensure normal and stable combustion temperature of the incinerator. Such structure design is very compact, more simplified, more reasonable, and superior than the incinerators in the prior art (for example, the automatic fire poking and the automatic closed-loop control of the combustion, the enlargement of the combustion zone, and the improvement of the efficiency).

[0041] The incineration process of the vertical type negative-pressure incinerator utilizing destructive distillation is as follows: the waste is fed in from the waste feeding port 13 of an automatic loading system, and pushed by a waste pushing cylinder 12 to a feeding throttle. The prior waste in the waste feeding throttle is pushed into the incinerator. Because the negative-pressure combustion mode is adopted, a void layer 17 inside the incinerator is in a slight negative-pressure state. The feeding throttle is filled with the waste thus functions in separating the internal incinerator from the external. The plastics in the waste after being heated is possibly hardened, which prevents the waste from falling and results in waste blockage. A top of the incinerator is provided with the waste pushing cylinder 16 to press a waste pressing plate 15, so that the fluent descending of the waste, the normal drying, destructive distillation, and combustion of the carbide are ensured. The water vapor produced from the waste drying process ascends to the void layer 17 to form an upper section gas via the gaps among the waste between the adjacent cooling plates 10. The water vapor is predominant in the upper section gas. The water vapor is used as the gasification agent for gasification of the carbide via an outlet 18 of the upper section gas and used as auxiliary complemented water vapor by the system for automatic control of the combustion temperature. The coal gas and the pyrogenic coal gas are mixed in the coal gas chambers 7, 9 to form a mixed coal gas, which is then accumulated by a mixed coal gas collection pipe 11 and output from a mixed coal gas outlet at the top of the incinerator for electric power generation or other application. The remaining water vapor and the mixed coal gas is merged, and wrapped the soot and the ash in the mixed coal gas to form a haze. The haze is thrown to water by a Venturi scrubber and therefore removed.

[0042] As the destructive distillation of the waste is performed before the combustion of the carbide, neither the production of dioxin nor the discharge of the waste gas is resulted. Thus, it is not necessary to heating the waste gas to a temperature of exceeding 850° C. and the problem that a large quantity of waste gas (at the temperature of between 200 and 300° C.) carries away a large quantity of heat energy does not exist. The direct use of the fuel gas turbine combined with a waste heat steam turbine IGCC for electric power generation, the power generation efficiency can reach between 35% and 45%, compared with the use of the waste heat boiler and steam turbine as the only choices for electric power generation for the waste incineration, the efficiency exceeds approximately 20%, thus being heat energy-saving and efficient in power generation, and the electric energy production is increased by at least one fold. However, the combustion of the carbide leads to existence of nitrogen residue of the air in the mixed coal gas, thus the caloric value is not high. In order to improve the caloric value of the mixed coal gas, and the oxygen-enriched air is utilized as a combustion agent if the conditions are possible. When the oxygen content in the air is increased from 21% to 30%, the following effects are realized: first, the temperature of the fire point of the fuel is reduced, the combustion speed of the fuel is accelerated, and the complete combustion of the fuel is realized; second, the flame temperature is increased, the combustion degree of the flame is improved, and the released heat quantity is increased; third, as the reduction of the air correspondingly makes the nitrogen gas content reduce, the caloric value of the fuel gas is improved; fourth, the increase of the combustion temperature inevitably increase the water vapor to maintain a stable combustion temperature, and further improve the caloric value of the mixed fuel gas (reduce the nitrogen gas but increase the nitrogen gas); and fifth, the complete combustion of the carbide and the increase of the hydrogen gas are able to increase a total caloric value of the mixed coal gas and therefore generate more electric power.

[0043] The destructive distillation incinerator of the invention adopts the vertical structure. A large quantity of waste is accommodated inside the incinerator. As long as the draft fan is not started, the combustion of the carbide is very slow, which is the state of incinerator sealing and the state lasts more than 3 days. This allows the daily treating capacity of the destructive distillation incinerator to be greater than the daily waste production, thus, it is not necessary to store the waste or seal the incinerator. The daily produced waste is daily treated, the waste storage pits, the stench treatment, and the leachate treatment are saved. When the waste incinerator is constructed on the landfill site, the daily produced waste as well as the waste stored in the landfill site can be treated, thus gradually recover the original ecological environment of the landfill site.

[0044] In addition, the waste incinerator of the invention does not adopt the common waste feeding method by using grab, because the lifting of the grab lasts a long time, the waste falls from the grab, and the waste feeding port requires a large area, all these are not suitable for the unit combinations of the invention. In the waste incinerator of the invention, the grab is substituted by a hopper car, and a level of the waste detector to detect the level of the waste inside the incinerator in real time. When the level of the waste is lower than the preset value, the automatic loading system is started, the waste is automatically lifted by the hopper car and fed to the incinerator.

[0045] FIG. 2A illustrates a standard unit of a waste incinerator adopting a double-furnace, the basic structure and the incineration process of which are the same as the waste incinerator of FIG. 1A except that an additional furnace is added, and the waste feeding structure at the top of the incinerator is also modified, which is specifically as follows: a waste distributing plate 33 is provided to direct the waste fed to the waste feeding throttle to the front or the rear furnace. The position of the waste distributing plate 33 is as shown in FIG. 2A, which makes the waste distributed in the rear furnace, and when the waste distributing plate 33 is erected, the waste is distributed in the front furnace. Compared with the two waste feeding systems, the waste incinerator as shown in FIG. 2A adopts one feeding system, which is economic and correspondingly saving the area of the waste landfill site.

[0046] Because two furnaces are adopted, the coal gas chambers 31, 32 for separating the two furnaces are also provided. In order to realize the automatic closed-loop control of the combustion temperature, as shown in FIG. 2B, the lower part of the coal gas chamber 7 is divided into six zones 7-I, 7-II, 7-III, 7-IV, 7-V, and 7-VI. Six temperature measuring points and six gas/water feeding channels are correspondingly provided as well.

[0047] The utilization of the double-furnace makes the treating capacity increase by at least one fold. If the daily treating capacity is smaller than 50 tons, the single-furnace waste incinerator is adopted. The unit of the standard single-furnace waste incinerator has a daily waste treating capacity of 50 tons, and the unit of the standard double-furnace waste incinerator has the daily waste treating capacity of 100 tons. The standard double-furnace waste incinerators are combined to form a large-scale incinerator.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a structure diagram of a planar arrangement of a combination of N units of the standard waste incinerators. Considering that each standard waste incinerator has a daily waste treating capacity of 100 tons, the combination of N units of the standard waste incinerators has the daily waste treating capacity of N×100 tons. The combination of 5 units of the standard waste incinerators has the daily waste treating capacity of 500 tons. The combination of 10 units of the standard waste incinerators has the daily waste treating capacity of 1000 tons.

[0049] When a smaller incinerator is required, the dimension of the incinerator is properly reduced, to realize different scale of the incinerator possessing the daily waste treating capacity of between 10 and 1000 tons. Because the larger the scale of the incinerator is, the cost for transporting the waste doubles. In the past, considering the production of dioxin, the selection of the site of the waste incinerator is difficult, and the scale of the waste incineration site has to be larger and larger. On the contrary, the waste incinerator of the invention does not exist with the problem of the dioxin production, the scale of the waste treatment plant can be small and a preferable daily waste treating capacity thereof is 500 tons.

INDUSTRIAL PRACTICABILITY

[0050] The vertical type negative-pressure incinerator utilizing destructive distillation of the invention is not only suitable to treat the waste, but also suitable to treat the landfill waste to recover the ecology of the landfill site. The waste incinerator is also applicable to treat and develop the waste of the Pacific plate by constructing a special ship installing with corresponding incinerator, performing destructive distillation, incineration, and gasification; cooling, compressing, refining, and liquefying the fuel gas; and transporting the liquefied fuel gas back to the continent for utilization, thus realizing the pollution treatment of the Pacific plate. Obviously, since the vertical type negative-pressure incinerator utilizing destructive distillation of the invention is able to convert the waste into the clean fuel gas, the straws, falling leaves in the city, and the waste in the forest can be utilized. The production of the clean fuel gas using the destructive distillation and gasification of the invention is of significance in the new energy application.

[0051] The occurrence of the two world wars is related to energy competence, and several wars for disputing oil ownership also occurred after the World War II. The new energy has received great attention, especially in Europe, the non-grain biomass energy has been vigorously developed. From a strategic point of view, the new energy that is supposed to substitute the fossil fuel should possess the following conditions:

[0052] 1. abundant resources, or otherwise the energy needs cannot be met;

[0053] 2. the production process is simple, the production cost is low, thus being competitive;

[0054] 3. the large-scale production can be met for the energy needs; and

[0055] 4. renewable, sustainable, pollution-free, and zero increase of the greenhouse gas. Thus, the real new energy that is substitutable for the fossil fuel is only the non-grain biomass energy.

[0056] In Europe, both Germany and Sweden use non-grain biomass to produce biogas, but the investment is large, the scale is small, and the efficiency is low, besides, additional waste ash and liquid are required to be treated. Particularly, 25-50% CO.sub.2 exist in the biogas, resulting in energy waste. Herein the destructive distillation technology is utilized to convert the waste into the clean fuel gas, particularly the critical techniques breaking through the large-scale destructive distillation incinerator, thus totally meet the above conditions. As long as the supplementary construction of the energy forest base and the planting of the fast-growing forest are realized, the waste incinerator of the invention is expected to become the mainstream in the biomass energy technology.
