Abstract

To include a boiler 11 that burns fuel F, an air heater 13 that recovers heat of flue gas 18 from the boiler 11 , a first precipitator 14 that reduces dust in the flue gas 18 after heat recovery, a desulfurizer 15 that reduces sulfur oxides in the flue gas 18 after dust reduction by an absorbent, a dewaterer 32 that reduces gypsum 31 from desulfurization discharged water 30 discharged from the desulfurizer 15 , a spray drying device 34 including an atomizer that atomizes a dewatering filtration fluid 33 discharged from the dewaterer 32 , and a flue-gas introducing line L 11 that introduces a part of the flue gas 18 into the spray drying device 34.

Claims (28)

1. An air pollution control system for a boiler that burns fuel comprising:

an air heater that is provided downstream of the boiler and recovers heat of the flue gas from the boiler;

a first precipitator that is provided downstream of the air heater and reduces dust in the flue gas after heat recovery;

a desulfurizer that is provided downstream of the first precipitator and reduces sulfur oxides in the flue gas after dust reduction by an absorbent;

a dewaterer that is connected to the desulfurizer via a waste water line and reduces gypsum from desulfurization discharged water discharged from the desulfurizer;

a spray drying device that is connected to the dewaterer via a dewatering line and includes a spray nozzle for spraying dewatering filtration fluid from the dewaterer;

a flue-gas introducing line that is branched from between the boiler and the desulfurizer and introduces a part of the flue gas into the spray drying device; and

a water supplying line that is connected to the dewatering line and supplies water to the spray nozzle,

wherein the dewatering line and the spray nozzle are cleaned by stopping the supply of the dewatering filtration fluid and supplying the water to the spray nozzle.

2. The air pollution control system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first valve that is provided in the dewatering line; and

a second valve that is provided in the water supplying line.

3. The air pollution control system of claim 2 , wherein

the spray drying device comprises:

a deposit monitor that is provided on a side wall of a body of the spray drying device and emits ultrasonic waves or a laser to the spray nozzle; and

a control unit that receives a signal from the deposit monitor,

wherein when the control unit determines the presence of deposit, the control unit controls the first valve and the second valve to remove the deposit.

4. The air pollution control system of claim 2 , wherein

the spray drying device comprises:

a deposit monitor that is provided on a side wall of a body of the spray drying device and emits ultrasonic waves or a laser to the spray nozzle;

a control unit that receives a signal from the deposit monitor; and

a scraper that is provided on an outer circumference of the spray nozzle and movable along an axial direction of the spray nozzle,

wherein when the control unit determines the presence of deposit, the control unit operates the scraper to remove the deposit attached to a circumference of the spray nozzle.

5. The air pollution control system of claim 3 , further comprising:

a flue gas adjusting valve that is provided in the flue-gas introducing line; and

a plurality of thermometers that are provided in the body of the spray drying device and monitor temperatures of a dry area inside of the spray drying device,

wherein the control unit receives measurement results of the plurality of thermometers and controls the first valve and the flue gas adjusting valve based on a spray-dried state of the dry area.

6. The air pollution control system of claim 3 , wherein the water supplied to the spray nozzle contains a chemical solution for dissolving the deposit.
