Description

  The present invention relates to a fluidized bed drying apparatus for drying a material to be dried by fluidizing gas.

  For example, a combined coal gasification power generation facility is a power generation facility that aims to further increase the efficiency and environmental performance compared to conventional coal-fired power generation by gasifying coal and combining it with combined cycle power generation. This coal gasification combined cycle power generation facility has a great merit that it can use coal with abundant resources, and it is known that the merit can be further increased by expanding the applicable coal types.

  Conventional coal gasification combined power generation facilities generally have a coal supply device, a drying device, a coal gasification furnace, a gas purification device, a gas turbine facility, a steam turbine facility, an exhaust heat recovery boiler, a gas purification device, and the like. ing. Therefore, the coal is dried and then pulverized, supplied to the coal gasifier as pulverized coal, and air is taken in. The coal gas is combusted and gasified in this coal gasifier, and the product gas (combustible) Gas) is produced. Then, the product gas is purified and then supplied to the gas turbine equipment to burn and generate high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas to drive the turbine. The exhaust gas after driving the turbine recovers thermal energy by the exhaust heat recovery boiler, generates steam and supplies it to the steam turbine equipment, and drives the turbine. As a result, power generation is performed. On the other hand, the exhaust gas from which the thermal energy has been recovered is released into the atmosphere through a chimney after harmful substances are removed by the gas purification device.

  By the way, the coal used in such a coal gasification combined power generation facility is not only a high-grade coal (high-grade coal) having a high calorific value such as bituminous coal and anthracite, but also a comparison such as sub-bituminous coal and lignite. There is a low-grade coal (low-grade coal) with a low calorific value. This low-grade coal has a large amount of moisture to be brought in, and the power generation efficiency decreases due to this moisture. For this reason, in the case of low-grade coal, it is necessary to dry the coal with the above-described drying apparatus to remove moisture and then pulverize and supply the coal gasifier.

  As a drying apparatus for drying such coal, there is one described in Patent Document 1 below. The fluidized drying method and fluidized bed drying apparatus described in Patent Document 1 supply a raw material containing moisture from a raw material supply port to a supply chamber, and the fluidized gas flows through a dispersion plate in the supply chamber and the drying classification chamber. When the animal is fluidized and dried and classified into fine powder and coarse particles, the layer thickness of the fluidized bed in the supply chamber is controlled separately from the layer thickness of the fluidized bed in the dry classification chamber.

  As described above, low-grade coal has a higher water content than high-grade coal, and thus fluidization failure occurs in the drying apparatus, which may cause coal drying failure. In particular, in the region close to the inlet portion, the water concentration is high and the dispersibility of the particles is not good. This may cause fluidization failure, adhesion, and accumulation near the heat transfer tube and at the bottom surface, resulting in blockage. .

  Here, the action | operation of the coal gasification combined cycle power generation equipment 10 of Example 1 is demonstrated.

  In the coal gasification combined power generation facility 10 of the first embodiment, raw coal (low-grade coal) is stored in the raw coal bunker 21 by the coal feeder 11, and the low-grade coal of the raw coal bunker 21 is supplied to the coal. The machine 22 drops the crusher 23 where it is crushed to a predetermined size.

  Hereinafter, the fluidized bed drying apparatus 12 in the coal gasification combined power generation facility 10 described above will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fluidized bed drying apparatus 12 includes a drying container 101, a raw coal charging port (wet fuel charging unit) 102, a dry coal discharging port (dry matter discharging unit) 103, and fluidization A gas supply unit 104 (104a, 104b), a gas discharge port (gas discharge unit) 105, and heat transfer tubes (heating units) 106, 107 are provided.

  The drying container 101 has a hollow box shape, and a raw coal charging port 102 for charging raw coal is formed on one end side, and a dried product obtained by heating and drying raw coal is discharged to the lower portion on the other end side. A dry charcoal discharge port 103 is formed.

Further, in the drying container 101, a gas discharge port 105 for discharging fluidized gas and generated steam is formed in the ceiling plate 101b on the dry coal discharge port 103 side.

  The drying container 101 is supplied with raw coal from the raw coal inlet 102 and supplied with fluidizing gas from the fluidizing gas supply unit 104 through the wind box 109 and the dispersion plate 108. A fluidized bed S having a predetermined thickness is formed above, and a free board portion F is formed above the fluidized bed S.

  And the drying container 101 is comprised by the 1st drying chamber 111 provided in the upstream of the flow direction of raw coal, and the 2nd drying chamber 112 provided in the downstream of the flow direction of raw coal, A partition plate 113 that partitions the first drying chamber 111 and the second drying chamber 112 is provided on the dispersion plate 108, and the first drying chamber 111 and the second drying chamber 112 communicate with each other above the partition plate 113. . In this case, the first drying chamber 111 is formed with a freeboard portion F1 and a fluidized bed S1, and is a complete mixing region for initial drying of raw coal, and the second drying chamber 112 is fluidized with the freeboard portion F2. A layer S2 is formed, which serves as an extrusion region (plug flow region) for late drying of raw coal. The first drying chamber 111 and the second drying chamber 112 have a floor area ratio of 30 to 50%: 70 to 50%, which is set to an optimum ratio according to the raw coal processing amount. When the amount of raw coal is large, the first drying chamber 111 is preferably widened, and the floor area ratio between the first drying chamber 111 and the second drying chamber 112 is 50%: 50%. Set to.

  In this case, the wind box 109 is partitioned into wind boxes 109a and 109b corresponding to the first drying chamber 111 and the second drying chamber 112, and fluidized gas supply units 104a and 104b are provided corresponding to the wind boxes 109a and 109b. It has been. And the amount of fluidization gas supplied to windbox 109a and 109b can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of a flow control valve which is not illustrated.

  That is, the first drying chamber 111 is configured such that the supplied raw coal is in a completely mixed flow in the chamber. This completely mixed flow is a flow mixed in the fluidized bed S1 formed in the first drying chamber 111 so that the moisture content (moisture content) in the raw coal becomes uniform. For this reason, in the first drying chamber 111, back-mixing occurs in the flow direction.

  Moreover, the 2nd drying chamber 112 is comprised so that the supplied raw coal may flow in the chamber. This extrusion flow is a flow in which the raw coal is pushed in the flow direction so that the raw coal does not diffuse in the flow direction in the fluidized bed S2 formed in the second drying chamber 112.

  In the first drying chamber 111, a plurality of support plates 121 along the direction of flow of the raw coal and along the vertical direction are arranged at predetermined intervals (equal intervals) in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of flow of the raw coal, and drying is performed. It is attached to the wall surface of the container 101. A plurality of heat transfer tubes 106 that pass through the drying container 101 from the outside and circulate in the fluidized bed S <b> 1 are supported by the support plates 121. The support plate 121 on which the heat transfer tube 106 is supported is positioned so as to be embedded in the fluidized bed S1, and can heat and dry the raw coal in the fluidized bed S1 with superheated steam flowing in the heat transfer tube 106. .

  In the first drying chamber 111, a disperser 123 for dispersing the raw coal input from the raw coal input port 102 is provided. The disperser 123 is a rotary disperser, and disperses raw coal in a flow direction or a direction orthogonal to the flow direction. And this disperser 123 is arrange | positioned in the freeboard part F1 ahead of the raw coal inlet 102, and upper than the fluidized bed S1.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the disperser 123 includes a rotating cylinder 124, a plurality of disperse blades 125, and a driving device 126. The rotating cylinder 124 is disposed in the free board portion F1 along the horizontal direction intersecting the flow direction of the raw coal, and each end portion in the axial direction passes through the side wall portion of the drying vessel 101. One end of the rotating cylinder 124 is rotatably supported by the drying container 101 by a bearing 127, and the other end is rotatably connected to the driving device 126. The rotating cylinder 124 can supply superheated steam (heating fluid) from one end to the inside, and the superheated steam can be recovered from the other end.

  In addition, the rotating cylinder 124 has a plurality of dispersing blades 125 fixed to the outer peripheral portion at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The raw coal charging port 102 is formed at a side wall on one end side in the drying vessel 101, at an intermediate portion in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the raw coal, and with a predetermined inclination angle so as to open to the free board portion F1. I am letting. Each dispersion blade 125 has the longest length along the radial direction of the rotating cylinder 124 at a position facing the raw coal charging port 102, and from here toward each end along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 124. Gradually shorter. In this case, it is desirable that the plurality of dispersing blades 125 be heated to the saturation temperature or higher by allowing superheated steam to flow through the rotating cylinder 124.

  Therefore, when raw coal is introduced into the first drying chamber 111 in the drying container 101 from the raw coal introduction port 102, the raw coal is dispersed in the horizontal direction by the disperser 123. That is, when the rotating cylinder 124 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 by the driving device 126, the raw coal charged from the raw coal inlet 102 is moved to the first position by the plurality of dispersing blades 125 rotating together with the rotating cylinder 124. 1 Dispersed forward in the drying chamber 111. In addition, since the plurality of dispersing blades 125 have a shorter depth on the end side, the raw coal is dispersed in the left and right sides in the first drying chamber 111. Further, since the superheated steam circulates in the rotating cylinder 124 in the disperser 123, the plurality of disperse blades 125 are in a heated state, and heat is received when the raw coal is dispersed by the disperse blades 125. Preheated. Then, the dispersed raw coal flows in the fluidized bed S <b> 1 by the fluidized gas and is dried by being heated by the heat transfer tube 106.

  As a result, the raw coal forming the fluidized bed S1 of the first drying chamber 111 can be made into a completely mixed flow, and is dried so that the moisture content (moisture content) is uniform. In the first drying chamber 111, for example, raw coal having a moisture content of about 60% can be initially dried until the moisture content becomes about 30 to 40%.

  Further, in the second drying chamber 112, a plurality of partition plates 129 along the horizontal direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the raw coal and along the vertical direction are arranged at predetermined intervals in the flow direction of the raw coal. It is attached to the wall. A plurality of heat transfer tubes 107 that pass through the drying container 101 from the outside and circulate in the fluidized bed S <b> 2 are supported by the partition plates 129. Each partition plate 129 that supports the heat transfer tube 107 has a lower end portion that is separated from the upper surface of the dispersion plate 108 so that a predetermined gap (flow port) is secured, and the upper end portion extends upward from the fluidized bed S2. The raw coal of the fluidized bed S2 can be heated and dried by superheated steam flowing in the heat transfer tube 107.

  In this case, since the plurality of partition plates 129 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the flow direction of the raw coal, the second drying chamber 112, specifically, the fluidized bed S2 is divided into the plurality of compartments S21, The plurality of compartments S21, S22, S23, S24, and S25 are divided into S22, S23, S24, and S25, have substantially the same volume, and are formed side by side along the flow direction of the raw coal. . Therefore, the raw coal can move from the respective distribution ports through the compartments S21, S22, S23, S24, and S25 while being dried in the fluidized bed S2.

  Therefore, when raw coal that has been initially dried is supplied from the first drying chamber 111, the raw coal flows in the fluidized bed S2 by the fluidized gas, and the distribution port between each partition plate 129 and the dispersion plate 108. The compartments S21, S22, S23, S24, S25 are moved through. At this time, the raw coal is dried by being heated by the heat transfer tube 107.

  As a result, the raw coal forming the fluidized bed S2 of the second drying chamber 112 can be made into an extruded flow by sequentially moving the plurality of compartments S21, S22, S23, S24, and S25 from the upstream side. Dried without diffusing in the direction. Note that the second drying chamber 112 can dry the raw coal having a moisture content of about 30 to 40%, for example, until the moisture content becomes about 10%.

  Here, the whole operation | movement of the fluidized bed drying apparatus 12 of Example 1 is demonstrated.

  In the fluidized bed drying device 12, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the raw coal is supplied from the raw coal inlet 102 to the drying container 101 and flows from the fluidizing gas supply unit 104 through the dispersion plate 108. By supplying the chemical gas, a fluidized bed S having a predetermined thickness is formed above the dispersion plate 108. The raw coal moves through the fluidized bed S to the dry coal discharge port 103 side by the fluidizing gas, and is heated and dried by receiving heat from the heat transfer tubes 106 and 107 at this time.

  In this case, the raw coal is heated and dried by the heat from the heat transfer tubes 106 and 107 and the fluidized gas while moving from the raw coal inlet 102 to the dry coal outlet 103, but is input from the raw coal inlet 102. Immediately after being done, the raw coal has a high moisture concentration, and there is a risk that proper drying will be difficult. However, in the present embodiment, the inside of the drying container 101 is divided into a first drying chamber 111 and a second drying chamber 112, and a disperser 123 is provided to face the raw coal charging port 102. Therefore, the raw coal introduced into the first drying chamber 111 from the raw coal introduction port 102 is dispersed to the front side and the left and right sides by the plurality of dispersion blades 125 in the disperser 123. At this time, since the raw coal is dispersed by the dispersion blade 125 in a high temperature state, the raw coal is preheated by receiving heat. In the fluidized bed S <b> 1 of the first drying chamber 111, the raw coal becomes a completely mixed flow, and is dried so that the moisture content is substantially uniform within the region of the first drying chamber 111.

  The raw coal that has been initially dried in the first drying chamber 111 flows over the partition plate 113 to the second drying chamber 112. In the second drying chamber 112, the raw coal flows in the fluidized bed S2 by the fluidized gas, and passes through the flow port between each partition plate 129 and the dispersion plate 108, and enters the compartments S21, S22, S23, S24, S25. Move in order. At this time, the raw coal is dried in the fluidized bed S2 without being diffused in the flow direction as an extruded flow while being heated by the heat transfer tube 107.

  Thereafter, the dry coal from which the raw coal has been dried is discharged to the outside through the dry coal discharge port 103, and the steam generated by heating and drying the raw coal in the fluidized bed S rises together with the fluidized gas. It flows to the discharge port 103 side and is discharged from the gas discharge port 105 to the outside.

  Thus, in the fluidized bed drying apparatus of Example 1, the drying container 101 having a hollow shape, the raw coal charging port 102 for charging raw coal into one end side of the drying container 101, and the other end of the drying container 101 are provided.

When fluidized gas flows, a fluidized bed S is formed. When the raw coal of the fluidized bed S moves by fluidized gas, it is heated by the heat transfer tube 106 to be dried to become dry coal. Is discharged to the outside from the dry coal discharge port 103, while steam generated by drying the fluidized gas and raw coal is discharged to the outside from the gas discharge port 105. At this time, although the raw coal immediately after being input from the raw coal input unit 102 has a large amount of water, it is dispersed to the periphery by the disperser 123 and falls into a wide range of the fluidized bed S1. In S1, a sufficient amount of heat can be applied to the raw coal for heating, and poor fluidization of the raw coal, adhesion to the surroundings and accumulation can be suppressed, and the drying efficiency of the raw coal can be improved. .

  Further, in the fluidized bed drying apparatus of Example 1, the disperser 123 is disposed in the free board portion F1 formed above the fluidized bed S1. Therefore, by disposing the disperser 123 in the free board portion F1, the raw coal input from the raw coal input portion 102 can be dispersed in a wide range on the surface of the fluidized bed S1 by the disperser 123, and the efficiency It can dry well.

  In the fluidized bed drying apparatus of the first embodiment, the disperser 123 is provided with a dispersible blade 125 that can be rotated and heated. Therefore, by dispersing the raw coal input from the raw coal input unit 102 by the plurality of swirl blades 125 rotating at a high temperature, it becomes possible to preheat by applying heat before dropping to the fluidized bed S1. The drying of raw coal can be promoted.

The length is gradually shortened. Therefore, the raw coal input from the raw coal input unit 102 can be distributed not only forward in the rotational direction by the plurality of dispersing blades 125 but also in the left-right direction, and the wide in the fluidized bed S1. Can be distributed over a range.

It is distributed to the front side or the left and right sides in the drying chamber 111. In addition, since superheated steam flows through the rotating cylinder 124 in the disperser 123, when the raw coal is dispersed by each of the heated dispersion blades 125, it receives heat and enters a preheated state. Then, the dispersed raw coal flows in the fluidized bed S <b> 1 by the fluidized gas and is dried by being heated by the heat transfer tube 106.

  Then, when the raw coal adheres to the rotating cylinder 124 or each dispersion blade 125 of the disperser 123, or when the raw coal is likely to adhere, the flow rate adjusting valve 153 is opened to a predetermined opening, and the inert gas is gasified. The gas is supplied from the supply pipe 152 to the injection nozzle 151, and the inert gas is injected from the injection nozzle 151 toward the rotating cylinder 124 and the dispersion blade 125.
