Method for operating flue gas purification system
A method for operating a flue gas purification system, comprising, in the flue gas purification system, equipped with a boiler which can burn oil fuel and coal fuel either simultaneously or switching therebetween, a denitration equipment having a reducing agent injector and a catalytic reactor, an inlet flue to guide flue gas discharged from the boiler to the denitration equipment, an outlet flue to guide flue gas discharged from the denitration equipment, a bypass flue which can guide flue gas from the inlet flue to the outlet flue so as to bypass the denitration equipment, and a bypass damper, opening the bypass damper and burning oil fuel in the boiler being in condition not yet suitable for coal combustion to allow the flue gas discharged from the boiler to dividedly flow to the denitration equipment and the bypass flue, switching the oil fuel to coal fuel when the boiler is in condition suitable for coal combustion to burn the coal fuel in the boiler, closing the bypass damper after switching the oil fuel to the coal fuel, and then injecting a reducing agent when the catalytic reactor is in condition suitable for a denitration reaction.
1. A method for start-operating a flue gas purification system equipped with a boiler which can burn oil fuel and coal fuel either in combination or switching therebetween, a denitration equipment having a reducing agent injector and a catalytic reactor, an inlet flue to guide flue gas discharged from the boiler to the denitration equipment, an outlet flue to guide flue gas discharged from the denitration equipment, a bypass flue which can guide flue gas from the inlet flue to the outlet flue so as to bypass the denitration equipment, and a bypass damper, comprising:
in the flue gas purification system,
opening the bypass damper and burning oil fuel in the boiler which is in condition not yet suitable for coal combustion, to allow the flue gas discharged from the boiler to dividedly flow to the denitration equipment and the bypass flue, whereby deterioration of a denitration catalyst in the catalytic reactor due to unburned components in the flue gas is suppressed and a temperature of the catalytic reactor is raised,
switching the oil fuel to coal fuel, when the boiler is in condition suitable for coal combustion, to burn the coal fuel in the boiler,
closing the bypass damper after switching the oil fuel to the coal fuel, and then
injecting a reducing agent when the catalytic reactor is in condition suitable for a denitration reaction.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass damper is driven by a pneumatic actuator.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass damper is an on-off control damper.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of the flue gas dividedly flowing to the denitration equipment and the bypass flue is 5:95 to 40:60.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injection of the reducing agent is started when the catalytic reactor reaches in condition suitable for the denitration reaction.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the closing of the bypass damper is to flow the flue gas to practically only the denitration equipment.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reducing agent is not injected when the catalytic reactor is not in condition suitable for the denitration reaction.
