Abstract

A vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus which has a plurality of catalyst blocks, each incorporating a catalyst unit provided therein, is provided with a first ash accumulation baffle plate and a second ash accumulation baffle plate which are slidable into a gap between catalyst blocks adjacent to each other, and processes an exhaust gas emitted from a combustor and turned to a vertical downflow. The denitrification apparatus has a simple configuration where the ash accumulation baffle plates prevent ash or the like from being accumulated in the gap between the catalyst blocks. The thermal expansion of the ash accumulation baffle plate can be absorbed even under the operating conditions which produce a change in temperature, and charging and replacing the catalyst in the catalyst blocks are possible without on-site welding of the ash accumulation baffle plates.

Claims (10)

1. A vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus, which processes an exhaust gas emitted from a combustor and turned to a vertical downflow, the apparatus comprising:

a plurality of catalyst blocks, wherein each of the catalyst blocks incorporate a catalyst unit;

each of the catalyst blocks being provided within a corresponding frame body,

wherein a first ash accumulation baffle plate and a second ash accumulation baffle plate are provided in a gap between frame bodies of catalyst blocks that are adjacent to each other, wherein the first ash accumulation baffle plate and the second ash accumulation baffle plate are slidable into the gap, and

an upper portion of the first ash accumulation baffle plate has an angle structure, and a lower end portion of the first ash accumulation baffle plate has a hook which is placed on the corresponding frame body; and

a protector placed on a top surface of the hook.

2. The vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a slotted hole is provided in a suspension rug provided to suspend each catalyst block, and the second ash accumulation baffle plate is detachably supported by locking members which are inserted into the slotted hole of the suspension rug.

3. The vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hook is placed on a top surface of the corresponding frame body.

4. The vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the hook is inserted into a space defined between a lower portion of the protector and the top surface of the corresponding frame body.
