Abstract

A combustion device includes an ammonia supply unit supplying primary reduction ammonia as a nitrogen oxide reducing agent into a combustor and mixing secondary reduction ammonia with combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustor to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas and a controller configured to control at least one of the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia and the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia with the combustion exhaust gas in accordance with concentrations of residual nitrogen oxide and residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas after being discharged from the combustor.

Claims (34)

1. A combustion device comprising:

an ammonia supply unit that supplies primary reduction ammonia as a nitrogen oxide reducing agent into a combustor and that supplies secondary reduction ammonia mixing with combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustor to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas; and

a gas analyzer that measures concentrations of residual ammonia and residual nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustor and outputs the measured concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and residual ammonia to a controller,

wherein the controller is configured to control at least one of the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia and the amount of supply of the secondary reduction ammonia mixing with the combustion exhaust gas in accordance with the concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and residual ammonia measured by the gas analyzer and further in accordance with a supply range for reduction of the primary reduction ammonia and a supply range for denitrification of the secondary reduction ammonia, and

wherein the controller is configured to reduce the amount of supply of the secondary reduction ammonia mixing with the combustion exhaust gas in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration equal to or less than a first regulatory value and the residual ammonia has a concentration exceeding a second regulatory value.

2. The combustion device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a catalyst reduction unit that removes the nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas with which the secondary reduction ammonia is mixed, by using a reduction catalyst,

wherein the controller is configured to control the amount of supply of the secondary reduction ammonia in accordance with concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas that has flowed through the catalyst reduction unit.

3. The combustion device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to determine that a failure has occurred in the combustion device or the catalyst reduction unit in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration exceeding a first regulatory value and the residual ammonia has a concentration exceeding a second regulatory value.

4. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustion device according to claim 3 ; and

the gas analyzer that measures concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas.

5. The combustion device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the controller is configured to reduce the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia with the combustion exhaust gas in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration equal to or less than a first regulatory value and the residual ammonia has a concentration exceeding a second regulatory value.

6. The combustion device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the controller is configured to change the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration exceeding a first regulatory value and the residual ammonia has a concentration equal to or less than a second regulatory value.

7. The combustion device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the controller is configured to increase the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration exceeding the first regulatory value, the residual ammonia has a concentration equal to or less than the second regulatory value, and the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia is unchangeable.

8. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustion device according to claim 2 ; and

the gas analyzer that measures concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas.

9. The combustion device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to change the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration exceeding a first regulatory value and the residual ammonia has a concentration equal to or less than a second regulatory value.

10. The combustion device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the controller is configured to increase the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia in a case where the residual nitrogen oxide has a concentration exceeding the first regulatory value, the residual ammonia has a concentration equal to or less than the second regulatory value, and the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia is unchangeable.

11. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustion device according to claim 10 ; and

the gas analyzer that measures concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas.

12. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustion device according to claim 9 ; and

the gas analyzer that measures concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas.

13. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustion device according to claim 1 ; and

the gas analyzer that measures concentrations of the residual nitrogen oxide and the residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas.
