Abstract:
The suspension extracted from a flue gas desulfurization installation is guided by multiple parallel mounted hydrocyclones. In the overflow, which is low in solid material, grain size distribution is detected by means of a high-frequency ultrasonic extinction measurement, from which a real separation grain is determined. The latter is compared with a theoretical separation grain. Regulation of the through-flow velocity of the hydrocyclones occurs according to deviations of the actual separation grain from the theoretical separation grain by connecting or disconnecting individual hydrocyclones and by modifying hydrocyclone feed pressure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for optimizing fossil-fueled power stations, whereby the operational and economic potential of a station is better used by determining the economic impact of changes made to selected operational parameters taking into consideration the economic expenditures required by said changes, and by deciding, on the basis of said additional operating costs, when and/or which measures should be taken to minimize additional operating costs.
Abstract:
The aim of the present invention is to keep the solid content of the washing mixture generally constant, notwithstanding variations in the SO2 concentration, in a known process with prewash stage for separating HF, HCl and a subsequent, in the direction of the gases, main-wash stage for separating SO2, whereby in both these stages a washing solution is fed into the circuit and in the main-wash stage, after washing, droplets are separated from the waste gas by means of a mist collector and in case of a fault, the washing solution is evacuated from the washing basin of the main-wash stage through an overflow and washing solution from the main-wash stage containing solids is extracted and the water removed. The additional water (22) required for operating the mist collector nozzles (14) is provided in a quantity depending on the volume of waste-gas (7) to be purified, washing solution is extracted from the washing basin subject to the quantity of SO2 separated, part of the washing solution (30) is taken from the main-wash stage (8) circuit (9) and at least partially clarified; finally, the part with the greater solid content (23) is fed back into the main-wash stage (8) and the part with the smallest solid content (31) is evacuated.
Abstract:
A container (1, 11) comprises a bottom (4) which is traversed by air nozzles (3). Air blown through the air nozzles (3) maintains a fluidized bed composed of inert material. Fuel is provided to the fluidized bed after it has reached the ignition temperature. Air entering through the air nozzles (3) to form the fluidized bed is imparted with a movement of which a component (14) provides at least a rotation (7) in a horizontal plane, and fuel is injected to the lower part of the fluidized bed, preferably at about 20% of the height of the bed. Additional air for generating the rotation of the fluidized bed is supplied by an eccentric supply (5). Preferably, at least the air nozzles (3) located close to the wall of the container are sloped with respect to the vertical and in the same direction thereof.
Abstract:
The heat accumulator block has a dirt pan (6) consisting of a plurality of guard plates (12) which are placed substantially parallel to one another in order to form flow channels, and are fastened by their lateral walls (13) to a holding device (14). Adjacent guard plates (12) are held separated but fastened to each other by spacers (15). The spacers (15) are so arranged that they lie on the face against which the cold medium flows, at a distance from the front-side edges of the guard plates (12). This reduces the formation of sediment in the area of these edges. Furthermore, the guard plates (12) consist of elastically ductile synthetic material and have an undulated profile. Their motivity under vibration and thermal expansion promotes the flaking of sediment.
Abstract:
An installation comprises a plurality of industrial-scale reactor modules each consisting of a reaction chamber (1) and sliding surfaces for delivery and discharge of bulk materials. The bulk materials are delivered through an inclined channel (3), uniformly distributed from top to bottom in the reaction chamber (1) by gravity alone, pass through inlet tubes (7) of the reaction chamber, reach the reactor bed (8) which is traversed by gas supplied from below (19) through blower plates, leave the reactor bed (8) through discharge tubes (10), and are conveyed laterally on an inclined sliding surface (14), again by gravity alone. The sliding surfaces all slope in the same direction. The modules are superimposed and arranged side by side, and a plurality of channels (3, 13) for delivery and discharge of bulk materials open in herringbone fashion into common shafts (2, 23) for delivery and discharge of bulk materials. The process permits preheating of gas and bulk materials, dust separation and sizing to be incorporated in the installation.
