Method for injecting a substance into a boiler of a waste incineration plant
A method is provided for injecting a substance into a boiler of a waste incineration plant using a gaseous propellant, the substance being conducted, starting from at least one distributor, via lines which branch off from the distributor, in each case to a nozzle which is assigned to the respective line and by means of which the substance and the propellant are injected into the boiler. The substance quantity to be conducted to the respective nozzle is set in the distributor. The boiler is subdivided into multiple boiler sectors, in which the nozzles are arranged in a plurality of horizontal nozzle planes. To each boiler sector at least one separate distributor is assigned. The substance and the propellant are combined upstream of the branch-off with the respective line.
1. A method for injecting a reducing agent for reduction of nitrogen oxides into a boiler of a waste incineration plant, using a gaseous propellant, the reducing agent being conducted, starting from at least one distributor, via lines which branch off from the distributor, in each case to a nozzle which is assigned to a respective line and by which the reducing agent and the propellant are injected into the boiler, and a quantity of the reducing agent to be conducted to a respective nozzle being set individually for each nozzle in the distributor, wherein the boiler is subdivided into multiple boiler sectors, in which the nozzles are arranged in a plurality of horizontal nozzle planes, and to each boiler sector at least one separate distributor is assigned, and the reducing agent and the propellant are combined upstream of a branch-off from the respective line,
wherein the quantity of the reducing agent to be conducted to the respective nozzle is regulated as a function of a temperature profile in the boiler,
wherein a first propellant quantity is set for the nozzles acted upon by the reducing agent, and a second propellant quantity that is less than the first propellant quantity is set for the nozzles not acted upon by the reducing agent, and
wherein, in the nozzles acted upon by the reducing agent, a nozzle admission pressure of approximately 1 to 5 bar is set.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the event of a change in a setting of the quantity of the reducing agent to be conducted to the respective nozzle, the change is carried out infinitely variably.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reducing agent is one of ammonia and urea.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an overall quantity of the reducing agent to be injected is regulated as a function of a content of the nitrogen oxides present downstream of the boiler in flue gas.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the temperature profile in the boiler is determined by at least two temperature measuring apparatuses.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the temperature measuring apparatuses used are radiation pyrometers.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the propellant used is one of air and steam.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the boiler sectors extend vertically.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in each boiler sector, one nozzle is arranged on each horizontal nozzle plane.
10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one distributor is assigned to each boiler sector.
11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the boiler is subdivided into four boiler sectors.
12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nozzles are arranged on three horizontal nozzle planes.
13. An apparatus for carrying out the method as claimed in claim 1 , comprising at least one distributor, from which lines branch off which lines lead in each case to a nozzle for injecting the reducing agent and the propellant into the boiler, the distributor being assigned means for setting a quantity of the reducing agent to be conducted to the respective nozzle, and the apparatus further comprises means for combining the reducing agent and the propellant upstream of the branch-off of the respective line from the distributor.
