Application system of electromagnetic plasma gasification technology

Introduction to the process principle of Greenmax plasma gasification technology

The plasma pyrolysis gasification process uses the excellent characteristics of plasma, such as high enthalpy, high temperature, high energy concentration, extremely high electrothermal conversion efficiency and extremely fast reaction speed. Through the ionization of air in the cracking chamber (also known as a combustion chamber) of the gasifier, it can instantly generate a high temperature of more than 2000 – 10000 ℃ around the plasma torch, Under the high temperature condition of 1200-1400 ℃, the garbage can be quickly cracked and gasified into a mixed combustible gas mainly composed of CO, H 2O 3 and some organic small molecules (CMHN) and containing a small amount of so 2O 3, non, HCI, HF and other acidic gases. These combustible gases enter the second combustion chamber for full combustion (the temperature can reach more than 1100 ℃), and the tail gas can be discharged after purification; Inorganic substances such as glass and metals contained in garbage melt into basalt like solid substances with no activity and toxicity at high temperature, which can be directly landfilled or comprehensively utilized.

Plasma is a state of matter, juxtaposed with solid state, liquid state and gas state. Compared with the other three states of matter, the range of parameters that plasma can exist is abnormally wide (its density, temperature and magnetic field intensity can span more than ten orders of magnitude). The morphology and properties of plasma are strongly affected by the external electromagnetic field, And there are extremely rich collective movements (such as various electrostatic waves, drift waves, electromagnetic waves, and nonlinear coherent structures and turbulence), so the energy is extremely concentrated, and has a very high electrothermal efficiency (more than 85%), and the high temperature generated can restore all substances that are difficult to restore and insoluble, which can be completed in an instant, so it has been widely valued and applied at present. "Plasma special waste incinerator" uses plasma technology to ionize the air, which can reach 500 ℃ - 1500 ℃ in one thousandth of a second. All toxic substances and gases will be rapidly cracked at high temperature, so they will not produce toxic gases such as dioxins, eliminating the occurrence of secondary pollution.

A. When the garbage is put into the "plasma special garbage gasifier", the organic garbage is rapidly dehydrated, pyrolyzed and cracked in the plasma to produce mixed combustible gases with H 2O, Co 2O and some organic gases as the main components, and then after secondary combustion to achieve volume reduction and harmlessness. Inorganic substances (metals, glasses) are melted under the action of plasma at high temperature to achieve the purpose of volume reduction. It can completely handle all kinds of wastes without classification.

B. High temperature smelting reduction reaction does not need oxygen supply, and the volume of syngas is only less than 20% of the volume of general incinerator waste gas. C. The decomposition of organic waste is converted into syngas and then burned for power generation, which can generate enough electricity for the whole plant.

D. No dioxin and acid gas problems.

E. The exhaust gas emitted by syngas (CO Ω, H Ω) generator is mainly Co Ω, H Ω o.

F. Slag can be recycled or directly buried.

G. The equipment has high durability and long service life.

H. Refractory materials do not need to be replaced within five years.

I. It has achieved business performance.

J. Low power consumption, high power generation, low consumables and low operation cost.

[Technical introduction]

With the rapid development of social economy and modern industry, the treatment of an increasing number of wastes, especially toxic and hazardous wastes, has become a major headache for governments all over the world. Hazardous waste is toxic, explosive, corrosive, chemical reactive, infectious, radioactive and other harmful characteristics, which pollutes the environment and can last for a long time.

Due to various technical and economic reasons for hazardous waste treatment, China currently adopts direct landfill or stacking methods for hazardous waste treatment, which not only occupies a lot of land, but also seriously pollutes soil, groundwater and atmosphere, threatens people's health, destroys the surrounding environment, and poses long-term harm to our future generations. The technology of plasma treatment of hazardous waste is to use the high-temperature thermal plasma produced by the plasma torch to quickly decompose and destroy the hazardous waste, in which the organic matter is pyrolyzed into combustible small molecular substances, and the inorganic matter is fused at high temperature to form vitreous like residue. This technology has the characteristics of fast reaction speed, small secondary pollution and wide application range. It overcomes the problems of large secondary pollution, complex process and waste selectivity of traditional treatment technologies such as incineration and chemical treatment. It is especially suitable for the environmental protection treatment of solid hazardous wastes such as medical waste, asbestos, incineration fly ash, batteries, tires, radioactive pollution, etc. The unique treatment method of plasma treatment of hazardous waste shows safety, efficiency, no secondary pollution and wide applicability. It provides a very scientific and effective method for the harmless, volume reduction and resource recovery of hazardous waste and municipal solid waste.

[Technical features]

Compared with conventional incineration technology, plasma treatment technology is an environment-friendly technology with complete treatment, no secondary pollution and less carbon emission. Plasma is usually an ionized gas containing a large number of electrons, ions, molecules, atoms and free radicals, but it is electrically neutral and has high chemical activity. The central temperature of the thermal plasma can reach more than 20000 degrees Celsius, and the flare edge temperature can also reach about 3000 degrees Celsius. Plasma technology can completely destroy all kinds of toxic and harmful substances. It is a new technology that can effectively eliminate pollution and has a wide range of uses. The core technology of plasma waste treatment process is plasma generator (plasma torch). In terms of generator, DC arc plasma is widely used. Using plasma as the heat source for treatment has the following special advantages in practical application:

High enthalpy, high temperature (10-5~10-2seconds), high electrothermal conversion efficiency, which is conducive to the treatment of high melting point wastes that are difficult to be treated by conventional methods, and miniaturization of process equipment, reducing engineering investment and energy conservation;

Most plasma chemical processes are first-order processes, which can greatly simplify the process flow;

The plasma chemical process is not sensitive to the impurities of raw materials, which is conducive to the treatment of complex and difficult materials;

Plasma chemical reaction process can be simulated, optimized and controlled;

As the temperature in the reaction zone is above 1500 ℃, it can effectively decompose highly toxic substances that do great harm to human beings, such as carcinogen dioxin.

[Applicable fields and scope]

It is suitable for the environmental protection treatment of solid hazardous wastes such as medical waste, electronic waste, asbestos, incineration fly ash, batteries, tires, radioactive pollution, etc. At present, medical waste and industrial hazardous waste are mainly serious in China. Medical waste includes used syringes, needles, infusion tubes, gauze, medicine bottles, waste medical plastic products, toxic cotton balls, waste dressings, surgical residues, animal experiment waste, photosensitive lotion, waste developer, etc. These wastes contain a large number of infectious viruses, which are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. These garbage incineration generally still adopts the traditional gas and oil combustion method, and this gas and oil combustion method adopts the incinerator treatment. Because the temperature in the incinerator is not high (generally lower than 900 ℃, but the actual situation is only below 700 ℃), it is very easy to produce dioxins (250 ℃ ~550 ℃), and infectious viruses cannot be completely treated. (some infectious viruses will still survive at 1100 ℃), more than one-third of the combustibles and some bacteria remain in the burned garbage ash. The burned garbage ash will be landfilled as domestic garbage, which will separate out of the ground over a long period of time, and will still cause secondary pollution to the environment. After seepage, it will affect soil and water quality, and people, livestock, and drinking water will spread rapidly. Even if the packaging is used for centralized treatment, it is also very easy to be distributed during transportation in urban areas, and it is also easy to pollute the environment again. Plasma is a kind of new heat source with high enthalpy, high temperature, fast reaction time, energy concentration and extremely high electrothermal conversion efficiency (85%~95%), which is the best for industrial application. When using plasma technology to treat waste, it can be treated without selecting the shape of waste, with a wider range of treatment and strong applicability. Using plasma method, it is easy to obtain a temperature higher than any traditional method (1200 ℃ ~1700 ℃), which will not produce dioxins, waste incineration will be more thorough, and will not bring secondary pollution. The residual ash reduction of the burned garbage is ≤ 3%, and the burned garbage can be landfilled as domestic garbage.

Plasma medical waste incineration method

The temperature in the incinerator is raised to more than 1100 ℃ by plasma, and the medical waste is burned in the incinerator. The oxygen content in the incinerator is controlled to be less than 0.09%. After combustion, the residue continues to be heated to melting in the melting chamber of the incinerator, the molten slag flows to the slag remover and is cooled, and the flue gas generated by combustion enters the secondary combustion chamber;

The generated flue gas carries out secondary combustion at the temperature of 800 ~ 1100 ℃, and controls the supply of external oxygen to the secondary combustion chamber so that the oxygen content in the secondary combustion chamber is greater than 10%;

The flue gas after secondary combustion reacts with the injected lye at the outlet of the secondary combustion chamber to fix some compounds of Cl, I and S elements in the flue gas in the form of salt;

The treated flue gas is cooled, and the temperature of the flue gas is reduced to 155 ~ 180 ℃. After the cooling treatment, the flue gas is dedusted to obtain the waste gas;

Spray alkali liquor into the waste gas, neutralize it and discharge it after full washing.

Plasma gasification process design

Solid wastes enter the plasma gasifier. Due to the high temperature (>2000 ℃) and high heat density atmosphere generated by the plasma torch, different kinds of solid wastes enter the plasma gasifier, and the organic components in the raw materials turn into harmless flue gas. The flue gas is transported to the power plant for power generation or petrochemical production after cooling and purification, so as to realize the high-value utilization of by-products, and generate electricityCO2 produced in chemical production can be transferred into the plasma gasifier and converted into syngas. No toxic and harmful flue gas will be discharged in the process, which greatly reduces air pollution and realizes zero emission of polluted gas. In addition, the hazardous waste produced by chemical plants and petrochemical plants can be re introduced into the plasma gasifier to convert the inorganic components in the raw materials into glassy molten slag after ultra-high melting and quenching. The toxic components of glassy solid slag are stably solidified, and the glassy solid slag shows inertia, which can be used for road laying or building construction to realize the resource and harmless utilization of solid waste.

Process flow diagram and description

Feeding system:

The scraper conveyor is directly connected to the outlet of the bag filter of the power plant, and the waste fly ash transported by the scraper conveyor enters the silo through 3# screw feeder and 1# screw feeder respectively. Oil sludge and medical waste are mainly sent to the 1 # screw feeder through the bucket elevator and then enter the silo. Due to the high flying of waste fly ash, a bag filter is installed on the top of the silo, and the collected fly ash can enter the silo again through the feed inlet. The solid waste raw materials in the silo enter the plasma gasifier through the discharge pump and the 2 # screw feeder respectively.

Flare system:

The plasma torch system is mainly composed of cooling water system, working medium gas system and plasma torch. The cooling water system mainly uses the demineralized water stored in the water tank to exchange heat through the plate heat exchanger to continuously cool the plasma torch; The working medium gas system produces compressed air through the fan, which is stabilized by the air storage tank and enters the plasma torch. The working medium gas is discharged by the cathode and anode of the plasma torch to generate plasma arc and spray high-temperature flame; The plasma torch is GL II type, which can provide a stable high temperature of 2000-2200 ℃ for the plasma gasifier. The plasma torch burner is flush with the lining refractory of the gasifier.

Gasifier system:

Solid wastes (waste fly ash, oil sludge, medical waste) enter the plasma gasifier, and the plasma torch system is used to generate high-temperature gas jet and high heat density environment. The temperature of the melting zone in the furnace is up to 2000 ℃. The solid wastes and working medium gas are fully burned in the furnace, and the organic components are basically completely converted into flue gas. The gas moves from bottom to top and is discharged from the flue gas outlet, The molten liquid is discharged from below.

Gas treatment system:

The gas leaving the gasifier maintains a high temperature, and the high concentration of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the flue gas makes it have high value-added characteristics. In order to make full use of the energy of the flue gas, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the plasma gasifier is directly connected to the fluidized bed incinerator of the power plant for power generation, so as to realize the resource utilization of solid waste.

Slag removal system:

The molten liquid from the outlet of the lower part of the plasma gasifier is water quenched by the slag cooler and converted into glassy solid waste. The volume reduction rate of solid waste is about 70%. At the same time, due to the strong inertia of glassy solid waste, it can be used for road laying and house construction, basically realizing the harmless and stable treatment of solid waste.

Control system:

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the process, detection devices will be installed on important nodes of the process, including cooling water temperature and flow control, working medium gas pressure and flow control, plasma gasifier temperature and pressure control, feed temperature control, flue gas temperature and flow control, and the control signal will be transmitted to the central control system to realize remote control and recording.

In order to realize the innovation of plasma gasification process, the plasma gasification process of solid waste in Greenmax will be connected in parallel with the waste incineration system of the waste incineration power plant. First of all, the waste fly ash produced by the incinerator of the waste power plant enters the plasma gasifier through the feeding system, and the waste fly ash is harmlessly treated. The toxic and harmful substances such as heavy metals in the fly ash are solidified into the glassy solid slag, which is inert substance, and the exudation toxicity meets the national environmental protection requirements; Organic matter is converted into high value-added flue gas, which is introduced into the incinerator of garbage power plant. On the one hand, it can provide heat for the incinerator and reduce the amount of coal mixed in garbage treatment. On the other hand, Co, H2 and other gases in the flue gas can also be burned for power generation, realizing the innovative process of slag free. At the same time, hazardous solid wastes such as oil sludge and medical waste can also be treated harmlessly through parallel process, and the heat energy of flue gas can also be used for power generation, which can not only solve the problem of difficult treatment of hazardous solid wastes, but also realize the resource utilization of hazardous solid wastes. In addition, the parallel process can effectively reduce the investment in the whole process of plasma gasification process. The flue gas directly enters the waste incinerator. The existing power plant process can be used for tail gas purification and other processes, which will achieve "zero emission" of pollutants from waste incineration.

The hazardous wastes produced by chemical plants and petrochemical plants can be re introduced into the plasma gasifier to convert the inorganic components in the raw materials into glassy slag after ultra-high temperature melting and quenching. The toxic and harmful components of glassy slag are stabilized, and the glassy solid slag shows inertia, which can be used for road laying or building construction to realize the recycling of solid wasteHarmless utilization.
