Description

Exhaust gas treatment system

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment system, and more particularly, an exhaust gas treatment system capable of improving the nitrogen oxide removal effect in a selective catalytic reduction reactor by effectively separating soot, which is an ignition source included in exhaust gas. is about

In general, various engines installed in ships generate power by burning fuel, and exhaust gas generated in the process of burning fuel contains harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). Since these harmful substances are a major cause of air pollution, they need to be removed from the exhaust gas. In the case of sulfur oxide, it is usually removed using a wet scrubber, and in the case of nitrogen oxide, it is usually removed using a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR). The selective catalytic reduction system injects urea water into the exhaust gas discharged from the engine and passes it through a selective catalytic reduction reactor, and converts the urea water into water and nitrogen by reacting ammonia and nitrogen oxides generated by thermal decomposition.

On the other hand, soot, which is a source of ignition due to incomplete combustion of fuel, is also introduced into the selective catalytic reduction reactor, and the soot, which is a source of ignition, is adhered to the catalyst of the selective catalytic reduction reactor to prevent the reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxides. Therefore, in the prior art, a soot blower was installed in the selective catalytic reduction reactor to separate the soot that is an ignition source attached to the catalyst, but as a separate soot blower is installed, it becomes structurally complicated and the manufacturing and installation costs increase. There is this.

Accordingly, there is a need for a system capable of improving the effect of removing nitrogen oxides by separating the soot that is an ignition source included in the exhaust gas with a simple structure.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating an exhaust gas treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The exhaust gas treatment system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system for removing nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gas, and may be applied to, for example, a ship.

In the exhaust gas treatment system 1, soot, which is an ignition source included in the exhaust gas, is separated from the front end of the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) and collected in the soot collecting unit 40, so that the soot that becomes an ignition source is a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) ), it can be prevented from interfering with the reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxide by adhering to the catalyst. Therefore, there is a feature that nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas can be effectively removed in the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR).

Hereinafter, the exhaust gas treatment system 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 .

2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of part A of FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 is a top view of the rotor blade part, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 2 , and FIG. 5 is the configuration of the rotor blade part It is a partial cross-sectional view for explaining.

The exhaust gas treatment system 1 according to the present invention includes an exhaust pipe 10 , a rotary blade unit 20 , a nozzle unit 30 , and a soot collecting unit 40 .

The exhaust pipe 10 is a pipe for supplying exhaust gas containing soot, which is an ignition source generated in the combustion engine (E), to the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR), one end connected to the combustion engine (E) and the other end being connected to a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). Since the combustion engine (E) generates various types of power required for ships by burning fossil fuels, it generates exhaust gas according to the combustion of fossil fuels. Since the exhaust gas generated from the combustion engine E contains a large amount of nitrogen oxide, it is necessary to remove the nitrogen oxide by passing it through a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). In addition, the exhaust gas generated in the combustion engine E also contains soot, which becomes a large amount of ignition source due to incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, so it is necessary to remove it. The exhaust pipe 10 has both ends connected to the combustion engine E and the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR), respectively, so that the exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides generated from the combustion engine E and soot as an ignition source is converted into a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). ) is supplied. Since the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) is a known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. A rotary blade unit 20 is installed on the exhaust pipe 10 .

The rotor blade 20 is a passive rotation structure rotatably coupled by the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust pipe 10, and the rotor blade 20 is rotated by the exhaust gas to create a rotational flow of the exhaust gas, Soot, which is a relatively heavy and particle-rich ignition source contained in the exhaust gas, is separated from the exhaust gas and flows toward the exhaust pipe 10 to be collected by a soot collecting unit 40 to be described later. That is, it is possible to prevent the soot serving as the ignition source separated from the exhaust gas by the rotary blade unit 20 from moving to the rear end of the nozzle unit 30, and thus, the soot serving as the ignition source is a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). Since it is not supplied to the furnace, the reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxide sprayed from the nozzle unit 30 to be described later may be increased.

In addition, by the rotation of the rotary blade unit 20, ammonia and exhaust gas injected from the nozzle unit 30 to be described later can be easily mixed, and the shape of the rotary blade unit 20 is not limited, and the rotation The wing portion 20 includes a plurality of rotary blades 25 .

The nozzle unit 30 is formed on each of the rotor blades 25 of the rotation blade unit 20 and rotates together with the rotation blade 25 , and supplies ammonia from the storage tank 31 connected to one side of the exhaust pipe 10 . Ammonia is injected into the exhaust gas by the centrifugal force of the rotating blade of the rotating blade unit 20. The nozzle unit 30 injects ammonia toward the discharge direction of the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust pipe 10 to increase the reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas in the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) to the exhaust gas. The contained nitrogen oxides can be effectively removed. Here, the nozzle unit 30 is not limited to spraying ammonia, for example, it may receive urea water from the storage tank 31 and inject it into the exhaust gas. When the nozzle unit 30 injects urea water, the urea water may be thermally decomposed in contact with high-temperature exhaust gas to generate ammonia.

The soot collecting unit 40 is a place where soot, which is an ignition source separated from the exhaust gas, is collected, and is formed in the exhaust pipe 10 area opposite to the rotary wing unit 20 . The soot collecting unit 40 has an outlet 10a formed by opening at least a part of the exhaust pipe 10, and a collecting space 40a is formed on the outside of the outlet 10a, so that a suit serving as an ignition source can be collected. .

As described above, since the suit serving as the ignition source contained in the exhaust gas is relatively heavy and has large particles, the rotor blade 20 is rotated by the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe 10 to prevent the exhaust gas from flowing in the rotational direction. is separated from the exhaust gas and flows toward the exhaust pipe 10 . Since the soot collecting part 40 has a collecting space 40a on the outside of the outlet 10a formed by opening a part of the exhaust pipe 10, the soot that flows toward the exhaust pipe 10 is the source of ignition, the collecting space 40a) can be easily captured. Here, the outlet 10a of the soot collecting unit 40 may be formed in the area of the exhaust pipe 10 opposite to the rotary wing unit 20 . Since the outlet 10a is formed to face the rotary wing unit 20, soot that is a source of ignition that does not pass through the rotary wing 20 may be collected in the soot collecting unit 40 through the outlet 10a. The rotary blades of the rotary blade unit 20 are formed in plurality and rotated, so that the soot serving as the ignition source passes through the rotary blade unit 20 and is supplied to the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) as much as possible. In addition, the soot collecting part 40 is formed with a collecting space 40a larger than the outlet 10a, is disposed on the outside of the rotary wing 20, and extends from the outside of the exhaust pipe 10 toward the rotary wing 20. can The collection space 40a is formed to be larger than the outlet 10a and extends from the outside of the exhaust pipe 10 toward the rotor blade 20, so that the suit becomes a source of ignition collected in the collection space 40a through the outlet 10a. It can be prevented from escaping to the outlet (10a) again.

On the other hand, the rotor blade 20 can be implemented in various shapes and structures. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , the rotary blade unit 20 serves as a rotation shaft of the rotary blade, and a first ammonia supply pipe 21 for supplying ammonia to the nozzle unit 30 , and a first ammonia supply pipe 21 . It communicates with and supplies ammonia to the first ammonia supply pipe 21 and may include a second ammonia supply pipe 22 to which the first ammonia supply pipe 21 is rotatably coupled. That is, the structure of the rotor blade 20 of FIG. 5 implements the rotor blade 20 using the first ammonia supply pipe 21 and is formed from the second ammonia supply pipe 22 connected to the storage tank 31 . 1 The ammonia supply pipe 21 is rotatably coupled.

Here, the first ammonia supply pipe 21 is coupled to and communicates with the second ammonia supply pipe 22 connected to the storage tank 31 , so that the ammonia stored in the storage tank 31 is discharged through the second ammonia supply pipe 22 . 1 It is supplied to the ammonia supply pipe 21 and is sprayed from the nozzle unit 30 . The nozzle unit 30 may be implemented as a hole structure in which a part of the first ammonia supply pipe 21 is opened or a separate nozzle member coupled to the hole structure. The first ammonia supply pipe 21 is rotatably coupled to the second ammonia supply pipe 22 is not limited to the coupled state of FIG. 5 , but may be implemented using, for example, the thrust bearing 23 . That is, a through-hole 21a penetrating a part of the second ammonia supply pipe 22 is provided, the end 21b of the first ammonia supply pipe 21 is inserted into the through-hole 21a, and the second ammonia supply pipe ( 22), if the structure in which the thrust bearing 23 is interposed between the end 21b of the first ammonia supply pipe 21 and the second ammonia supply pipe 22 is applied, the first ammonia supply pipe 21 is This can be rotated. At this time, the region of the first ammonia supply pipe 21 inserted into the through hole 21a of the second ammonia supply pipe 22 corresponds to the rotation shaft 21c of the rotor blade 20, and the lateral direction of the rotation shaft 21c The extended area corresponds to the rotary blade 21d, and the thrust bearing 23 is fixed to the second ammonia supply pipe 22 .

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6, the operation|movement of the exhaust gas processing system 1 is demonstrated in more detail.

6 is an operation diagram for explaining the operation of the exhaust gas treatment system.

In the exhaust gas treatment system 1 according to the present invention, soot, which is an ignition source included in the exhaust gas, is separated from the front end of the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) and collected in the soot collecting unit 40, so that the soot serving as the ignition source is a selective catalyst It can be prevented from interfering with the reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxide by being adhered to the catalyst of the reduction reactor (SCR). Therefore, nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas in the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR) can be effectively removed.

Exhaust gas including nitrogen oxides generated from the combustion engine E and soot as an ignition source through the exhaust pipe 10 proceeds to a selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). As the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe 10 is rotated in the rotor blade 20 located in the exhaust pipe 10 at the front end of the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR), the flow in the opposite direction to the flow direction of the exhaust gas is generated. Soot, which is a heavy and large particle ignition source, is separated from the exhaust gas and collected in the collection space 40a of the soot collection unit 40 through the outlet 10a formed in the exhaust pipe 10 . Since the outlet 10a of the soot collecting part 40 is formed in the area of the exhaust pipe 10 opposite to the rotary wing part 20, the suit, which is an ignition source that does not pass through the rotary wing part 20, passes the outlet (10a). It may be collected by the suit collecting unit 40 through the.

Soot, which is a source of ignition, is removed, and exhaust gas containing only nitrogen oxide passes through the rotor blade 20, is mixed with ammonia sprayed from the nozzle unit 30, and is supplied to the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). The soot serving as the ignition source is collected in the collection space 40a at the front end of the nozzle unit 30 and is not supplied to the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR), thereby increasing the reaction of ammonia and nitrogen oxides in the selective catalytic reduction reactor (SCR). The nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas can be effectively removed.
