Limestone supply device and air pollution control system
A limestone supply device is provided for supplying calcium carbonate to an upstream of a desulfurization device and a heat exchanger disposed on an upstream of the desulfurization device on a flue gas duct through which flue gas discharged from a combustion engine in which a fuel burns flows. An air pollution control system having the limestone supply device is provided, including a calcium carbonate accumulate unit configured to accumulate calcium carbonate, a calcium carbonate transport unit configured to transport the calcium carbonate accumulated in the calcium carbonate accumulate unit, a calcium carbonate supply unit configured to supply the calcium carbonate transported by the calcium carbonate transport unit to the flue gas duct, and a moisture supply unit configured to supply moisture to a region to which the calcium carbonate is supplied by the calcium carbonate supply unit.
1. An air pollution control system comprising:
a dust collector configured to remove dust in flue gas from a combustion engine in which fuel bums;
a heat exchanger configured to recover heat of the flue gas passing the dust collector;
a desulfurization device configured to remove sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas using an absorbent after removing the dust;
a limestone supply device arranged between the dust collector and the desulfurization device or an upstream of the dust collector; and
a controller, wherein the limestone supply device comprising;
a calcium carbonate accumulate unit configured to accumulate calcium carbonate;
a calcium carbonate transport unit configured to transport the calcium carbonate accumulated in the calcium carbonate accumulate unit;
a calcium carbonate supply unit configured to supply the calcium carbonate transported by the calcium carbonate transport unit to a flue gas duct; and
a moisture supply unit configured to supply moisture to a region of the flue gas duct to which the calcium carbonate is supplied by the calcium carbonate supply unit;
wherein the controller is configured to adjust an amount of the calcium carbonate supplied from the calcium carbonate supply unit and an amount of the calcium carbonate in the absorbent supplied to the desulfurization device based on a sulfur oxide concentration in the flue gas.
2. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture supply unit is disposed around an end portion of the calcium carbonate supply unit at which the calcium carbonate is supplied to form double pipes with the end portion of the calcium carbonate supply unit, and the moisture supply unit supplies the moisture from an outer circumference of the end portion.
3. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture supply unit supplies the moisture to the flue gas duct on an upstream side of a position at which the calcium carbonate supply unit supplies the calcium carbonate in a flow direction of the flue gas.
4. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture is vapor.
5. The air pollution control system according to claim 3 , wherein the moisture is a liquid.
6. An air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture is superheated vapor.
7. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the combustion engine is a boiler.
