Heavy oil treatment of gas turbine plant control system

Heavy oil treatment of gas turbine plant control system

1. System overview

 

The automatic control system of 70 m3/h heavy oil treatment unit matched with a gas turbine set of an electric power company is a set of heavy oil dewatering and desalting system. The heavy oil is used for combustion after being treated. The burning flue gas generates high temperature steam and generates electricity. The automatic control system mainly realizes the automatic control function of heating section, adding demineralizer and demulsifier section and desalination section.

The whole system consists of crude oil tank, heat exchanger, high temperature heater and two-stage desalination tank. Crude oil is first injected into the heat exchanger. The residual heat from the reflux of the crude oil is used to preheat the crude oil. The addition of demineralizer and demulsifier is convenient for the salt in the heavy oil. Separation and heavy oil separation, and then into the steam heater to further heat to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, and finally in the desalination tank using electric field positive and negative stage will be the heavy oil in the positive and negative ions to both sides to achieve the purpose of desalination and water removal.

Heavy oil has a high viscosity at room temperature, so it needs to be heated to reduce its viscosity in order to facilitate salt precipitation from the heavy oil; in addition, because the oil molecules usually encapsulate salt ions, adding demineralizers and demulsifiers can effectively separate the two. In the desalination tank, the proportion of water is greater than the proportion of oil, water will sink into the bottom of the tank, salt is sucked to both sides by vertical electric field, part of the salt will be dissolved in water, together from the sewage valve in the form of sewage discharge. The treated heavy oil also has some residual heat. In order to improve the efficiency of the system, the waste heat is recovered and used to preheat the crude oil to be processed. This treatment can make the crude oil to be processed temperature higher at the inlet of the steam heater. The treated heavy oil needs to be tested before it enters the net oil tank. If the oil and water content reaches the industrial target, it can be put into the net oil tank, otherwise it will be recovered to the crude oil tank.

Heavy oil is injected with water to dissolve the salt ions that will be separated before entering the two-stage desalination tank. The injection of the primary desalination tank is partly from the purified water, the other from the sewage of the secondary desalination tank (because the quality of the secondary desalination sewage is better than that of the primary desalination sewage, so it can be recycled); the injection of the secondary desalination tank, because of the higher technical requirements, all comes from the purified water. The drainage of the primary desalination tank is all discharged from the sewage outlet because of its poor quality; the drainage of the secondary desalination tank is partly recovered for the injection of the primary desalination tank and partly discharged from the sewage outlet because of its good quality. These operations can be achieved by automatic control of water injection shut-off valve and drain valve.

 

Sampling test must be carried out before the basic treated heavy oil enters the clean oil tank. When the water cut is more than 0.5% measured by the water cut analyzer, the oil tank is automatically switched over to the crude oil tank and the oil purifying valve is closed. When the water cut is less than 0.5%, the clean oil tank can not be cut back automatically. After the content of sodium and potassium salt is qualified, the oil tank is switched over to the clean oil tank by manual instruction. The oil return valve is closed. The setting value of the analyzer can be adjusted manually.

 

 

Two, system requirements

 

1. the reliability of the control system is very high, and redundant structure design is adopted.

2. In order to avoid manual operation can not meet the requirements of precision, the control system has a one-button start-up function, high control accuracy requirements.

3. the system has good networking function and can be connected with the DCS system of gas turbine.

4. The selected control system adopts a general design scheme, which is universal, reliable and maintainable.

5. the control software has good flexibility, which is convenient for adjusting and modifying the control mode.

 

Three, system configuration and function realization

 

According to the control requirements of the system, the PLC-300 series controller of SIEMENS company and the remote I/O system of UniMAT ET200M slave station of UniMAT company are used to form the control station of the system, and the operation station of the system is built by WinCC man-machine interface software and upper computer unit.

 

In order to avoid the loss caused by the abnormal shutdown of the control system, redundant structure is used in the control system. Redundant systems are divided into software redundancy and hardware redundancy. Software redundancy is a low-cost solution for SIEMENS to achieve redundant functions. It can be used in control systems with low switching time requirements for master-standby systems. The biggest advantage of software redundancy relative to hardware redundancy is that it costs less. Although the redundant switching time is slightly longer than hardware redundancy (about 100 ms), it implements all the functions of CPU redundancy, power redundancy, communication redundancy, template hot-swap and so on. It is a good solution in the case of less strict switching time requirements.

 

1. The system adopts CPU315-2DP redundancy and CP343-1 industrial Ethernet synchronization to ensure high synchronization performance.

 

2. WinCC supervisory software connects with redundant CPU through industrial Ethernet. When the main CPU fails to switch to the standby CPU, WinCC can automatically switch to the standby CPU without human intervention.

 

According to the control needs, a key boot function is designed. When the external conditions have automatic working conditions, the automatic boot key can be clicked to automatically carry out heavy oil treatment without human intervention.

1. There are many equipments in the system which need to be adjusted by PID, such as heavy oil flow rate, liquid level of two-stage desalination tank, etc. After dynamic setting on the WinCC screen, the corresponding display frame of PID adjusting parameters can be seen by clicking on the device with the mouse, and the hand automatic switching, proportional gain, integral coefficient and differential coefficient of the device can be displayed in real time.

2. WinCC human-computer interface has rich drawing function and dynamic display function. It can express the complex process clearly and succinctly, and decompose the heavy oil treatment process into several relatively independent pictures. The control attributes and dynamic events on the screen are set intuitively and connected with the input and output points of the PLC equipment in real time, so that users can see the running status of the field equipment on the PC at any time.

3. The alarm record in WinCC software can set the alarm upper and lower limits of any digital or analog quantity. After configuring the alarm box on the screen, the alarm variable, alarm time and alarm information can be displayed. If necessary, the alarm sound can also be set through the global script, and the alarm sound effect can be eliminated after the alarm is confirmed.

4. WinCC software can archive the variables which need long-term observation trend, and observe the trend of some variables at any time when the system is running. It is convenient to compare and observe some of the same types of variables, and can also magnify the local observation. The trend chart has the function of dynamic change and real-time increase.

5. For the operator station and engineer station in the upper computer, the privilege protection should be set for the actions of their respective operating ranges in order to facilitate system security. For the operation of important equipment, a prompt window is set on the operation station, and only after the operator confirms, can the operation be realized. On-site more equipment, such as the main and backup water injection pumps, generally have automatic and manual switching, in order to facilitate when one of the equipment failures or maintenance when it is disconnected from the system.

6. main monitoring interface

Four use effect analysis

This control system achieves the expected purpose in heavy oil processing. Selecting soft redundant system according to the importance of heavy oil processing system in practice can realize the switching of main and standby systems when necessary, improve the stability of the system, and save the system cost to a certain extent. The system is in good condition after being put into operation.

Application in waste incineration power plant project

Application in waste incineration power plant project

1. Summary

 

Waste incineration can reduce, recycle and make harmless waste treatment, and recover its heat for power generation and heating. Garbage incineration has become the main way of garbage disposal in some developed countries. This garbage incineration power plant is a total investment of 410 million yuan garbage incineration power plant in Guangdong Province and Canada, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters. There are four incinerators, four waste heat boilers and two 6MW turbine generators. The four production lines are designed to dispose of 600 tons of garbage per day. The annual power generation capacity is 8797 kWh. A ton of garbage can generate no less than 300 KWh of electricity.

The core technology of this project is the third generation of CAPS technology in the world, namely the gas-controlled solid waste thermal decomposition technology. Four CAPS pyrolysis furnaces have been built by using this technology. The steam generated by four waste heat boilers is supplied to two 6MW steam turbines to generate electricity, which really realizes the conversion of waste into resources.

 

Two. Refuse incinerators and related equipment

 

The garbage incinerator in this garbage incineration plant is a forward-push, multi-stage mechanical grate incinerator made in Canada. The third generation of gas-controlled solid waste thermal decomposition technology (CAPS) has been applied in the incinerator, which can effectively reduce the toxic gases produced by incineration.

 

1. garbage bin structure

 

The garbage is transported to the treatment plant after being transported to the garbage bin. The new trash can be stored in the warehouse for 3 days and then can be burned in the furnace. After fermentation and leachate discharge, the calorific value of the garbage can be increased and the garbage can be easily ignited. In the warehouse, the garbage can be sent to the front hopper with a crane grab.

 

2. combustion chamber and incinerator grate structure

 

The refuse incinerator is a reciprocating, pushing and multistage mechanical grate incinerator. The incinerator consists of a feeder and eight combustion grate units, including two-stage grate in the drying section, four-stage grate in the gasification combustion section and two-stage grate in the burnout section. The temperature inside the incinerator is controlled within 700 C. The burnt out waste from the last stage grate left the incinerator and fell into the ash bin.

 

1) feeder and fire door.

 

The feeder is pushed into the combustion chamber from the fire door through the feeder (Loading Ram). The feeder is only responsible for feeding, providing no combustion air and isolation from the combustion zone through the fire door. The fire door remains closed when the feeder is retracted. Closing the fire door can separate the furnace from the outside and maintain the negative pressure inside the furnace. At the same time, there is a temperature measuring point at the entrance of the combustion chamber. When the garbage temperature of the inlet of the combustor is too high, the solenoid valve will control the sprayer sprayed after the fire door to prevent the rubbish from the feeding chute from igniting the garbage in the hopper when the fire door opens.

 

2) combustion grate

 

The eight stage combustion grate is divided into two stages: dry grate, four stage gasifying combustion grate and two stage burnout section. Each stage of the grate is equipped with a hydraulic driven pulse pushing device. The 8-stage pushing device (pusher) pushes the garbage in a certain order, so that the garbage entering the incinerator is pushed to the next grate by the pusher in coordination with the various grates. Evenly distributed holes on the grate are used to discharge the primary air needed for combustion. The primary air supplied for combustion is supplied by a primary air duct below the grate. In the process of grate pushing, refuse is subjected to heat radiation from burner and furnace, and is blown by primary air. Moisture evaporates rapidly and burns on fire.

 

3) burner layout

 

There are two main combustors in the combustion chamber, as shown in figures two 17, 18. There are temperature measuring points above the combustion grate in the incinerator. When the incinerator is started up and the combustion temperature is below the requirement, the burner 17 feeds oil to support combustion. Burner 18 is located at the outlet of the furnace for reburning unburned refuse. The air required for the burner is supplied by a combustion fan common to four incinerators (as shown in Figure 27). The air required for the burner to burn is clean air inhaled by the atmosphere. When the combustion fan fails or the air supply is insufficient, the partial air supply of the fan is supplied to the burner by the bypass (shown in Fig. 26).

 

 

 

3. two combustion chamber flue

 

Two the main part of the combustion chamber is a cylindrical flue, and there is no smoke angle caused by pipes. The purpose of setting the secondary combustion chamber is to make the flue gas stay more than 2S at about 1000 C under the theoretical air volume of 120 ~ 130%, so that the harmful gas can be decomposed in the furnace. There is a secondary burner at the entrance of the secondary combustion chamber. When the system detects that the smoke temperature at the exit of the secondary combustion chamber is less than a certain value, the secondary combustion will be ignited. The two wind enters the two combustion chamber at the entrance of the two combustion chamber. The secondary combustion chamber has two outlets leading to the waste heat boiler, and each outlet has a hydraulically driven baffle to control the flue gas entering.

 

4. one or two winds system

 

Each incinerator is equipped with a blower. The blower sucks air from the garbage dump and also sucks gas leaking from the lower part of the chamber pusher to the outside of the incinerator. This arrangement of air supply is to ensure that the garbage bin is in a state of micro-negative pressure, to avoid gas leakage from the garbage bin. The air supply enters the waste heat boiler, passes through the two-stage air preheater of the waste heat boiler and enters a large mixing header (Fig. 221). Then it enters the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber of the incinerator as one and two secondary air respectively. The header can also accept the air supply from the bypass of the exhaust heat boiler. The primary air leaving the header is divided into two pipelines: pipeline 1 (fig. 210-1) leads to three ducts for air supply to the 1-3 grate, and another pipeline 2 (fig. 210-2) leads to five ducts for air supply to the 4-8 grate. The primary air supply to the grate can dry garbage, cool the grate and supply the air needed for combustion. The air volume control valve on line 1 should be adjusted according to the temperature of the inlet of the incinerator. The air volume control valve on line 2 should be adjusted according to the temperature and oxygen content of the furnace. The air volume in the furnace should be 70~80% of theoretical air volume. The two wind goes through the pipeline (Fig. two 25) to the two chamber. The two wind supply is 120~130% of theoretical air volume.

 

5. row ash system

 

The ash discharged from the incinerator falls into the ash tank. The arrangement direction of the two parallel ash troughs is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the incinerator, and the ash troughs of the four incinerators are transversely connected. The hydraulically driven ash separator (Fig. two, 23) selects ash to fall into a certain ash tank. Ash conveyor belt at the bottom of the ash tank is responsible for transporting four slag from the incinerator to the ash tank. Ash trough is required to ensure that there is a certain level of water to immerse ash.

 

6. flue gas treatment equipment

 

The flue gas discharged from the waste heat boiler enters the semi-dry gas scrubber first, and the slaked lime slurry is sprayed into the tower by atomizer from the top of the tower to neutralize the acidic gas in the flue gas, which can effectively remove HC.

Three, refuse incineration power plant waste incinerator in the advantages of pollutant control

 

Dioxins in domestic waste incineration flue gas is a common concern in the world in recent years. Dioxins have caused great harm to the environment. Effective control of the generation and diffusion of dioxins is directly related to the promotion and application of waste incineration and waste power generation technology.

 

1. the structure of dioxins

 

The molecular structure of dioxins is 1 or 2 oxygen atoms connecting 2 benzene rings substituted by chlorine. Two oxygen atoms are linked called polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), and one oxygen atom is called polychlorinated dibenzo-furan (PCDF). Collectively referred to as dioxin (dioxin). The most toxic 2,3,7,8-PCDD is 1000 times more toxic than potassium cyanide. Dioxin is highly toxic to mammals, soluble in water and good in thermal stability.

2. generation principle of dioxin in waste incinerator

 

The sources of dioxins in incinerators are petroleum products and chlorinated plastics, which are the precursors of dioxins. The main way of production is combustion generation. There are a lot of NaCl, KCl and so on in domestic waste, and S elements are often produced in incineration. And salts containing Cl elements react to form HCl when there is oxygen. HCl is also generated by the CuO reaction generated by oxidation of Cu. The study found that the final catalyst for dioxin production is the C element (CO).

 

3. Superiority of Incinerator with Gas Controlled Solid Waste Thermal Decomposition Technology in Suppressing Dioxin Production

 

Gas-controlled pyrolysis incinerator divides the incineration process into two combustion chambers, the first combustion chamber for waste thermal decomposition temperature is controlled within 700 C, so that the waste decomposes at low temperature under anoxic conditions, when metal elements such as Cu, Fe, Al will not be oxidized, so there will not be some, will greatly reduce the amount of dioxins; L production is affected by residual oxygen concentration, so anoxic combustion can reduce the production of HCl, and it is difficult to generate a large number of HCl in self-reducing atmosphere. Because the gas-controlled waste incinerator is a solid bed, it will not produce smoke and dust, and there will be no unburned carbon residue into the secondary combustion chamber. The combustible components in the garbage are decomposed into combustible gases, and two oxygen chambers with sufficient oxygen are used to burn. The temperature of the secondary combustion chamber is about 1000 C and the flue length makes the flue gas stay more than 2s, which ensures the complete decomposition and combustion of toxic organic gases such as dioxins at high temperature.

 

In addition, the use of bag filter avoids the use of electrostatic precipitation of Cu, Ni, Fe particles on the formation of dioxins catalysis.

 

 

 

 

Four. Waste heat boiler equipment

 

The waste heat boiler of refuse incineration power plant is flue-type waste heat boiler. The flue gas flow direction is changed five times in the boiler. Boiler pressure 4MPa, evaporation 15t/h. The structure of HRSG is shown below. Water walls are arranged in the furnace, flue and high temperature flue gas inlet.

 

1. flue gas flow

 

As shown in Figure 4, flue gas enters the waste heat boiler from the secondary combustion chamber of the incinerator through the upper or lower flue (flue gas passes through the lower part without passing through the water wall K). First, it passes through the second stage superheater E, the first stage superheater F, the second stage air preheater G, and then enters the main furnace from the lower part and exchanges heat with the water wall. After changing the angle at the upper outlet of the furnace, it passes through the first economizer I, the first air preheater H and the second economizer J in turn, and the flue gas leaves the waste heat boiler from the flue N.

 

2. air supply process

 

As shown in Figure 4, the air coming from the blower enters the waste heat boiler through pipeline A, passes through two stages of air preheater H and G heat exchange in the furnace, and then leaves the boiler through the pipeline.

 

3. soda process

 

As shown in Fig. 4, the feed water at 145 C passes through two economizers J and I (the economizer is equipped with a feed water bypass), enters the boiler drum L and the supercooled water in the drum from the descending tube into the lower header, is heated by the water wall in the furnace at a constant pressure under 4 MPa, and the steam enters the two superheaters F and E at 400 C, leaving the boiler and enters the steam main tube.

Five. Turbo generator sets and auxiliaries system

 

The four waste heat boiler of MSW incineration power plant is equipped with two steam turbines. The main steam system adopts centralized master control, and two turbo generators are arranged longitudinally in the workshop. The steam turbine adopts 6MW condensing steam turbine produced by Guangzhou Scot. Design inlet pressure 3.9MPa, inlet temperature 390 degree, rated steam 35t/h.

 

The unit is equipped with two stage steam ejector and first stage gland seal air ejector. Design a primary air supply deaerator. The condensing mode of the unit is water cooling, and the mechanical ventilation cooling tower is the two cycle water cooling system. The circulating water flow is guaranteed by the circulating water pump. The circulating water system is cooled by the air cooler and the lubricating oil station simultaneously. The condensate water enters the deaerator through the condensing pump through the steam seal heater. The low pressure feedwater at the outlet of the deaerator is boosted through the feed water pump and then enters the waste heat boiler. Four furnaces and two machines are equipped with two deoxidizers. In addition to the condensate entering the deoxidizer, there are chemical water supplement (temperature, flow rate) and the drainage of the drainage tank sent by the drainage pump.

Six. Introduction of control scheme

 

1. control system plan for incinerator and boiler

Control system plan for incinerators and boilers

 

 

 

 

The control of incinerator and boiler system includes the control of public system, four incinerators and four waste heat boilers.

 

 

 

 

1.1 hardware composition

 

The system adopts PROFIBUS + PROFINET structure in hardware composition. 5 blocks Siemens 317-2 PN/DP CPU were used to control the public system and four sets of incinerator waste heat boiler systems respectively. CPU 317-2 PN/DP has large capacity program memory and can be used for demanding applications. It can realize distributed intelligent system based on component automation in PROFInet. It can be used as a PROFINET I/O controller for running distributed I/O on PROFINET. And together with centralized I / O and distributed I / O, it can be used as the central controller in the production line, and can be used for large-scale I / O configuration or distributed I / O structure. In addition, CPU has higher processing power for binary and floating point operations.

In this system, CPU 317-2 PN/DP through the PROFIBUS interface constitutes the control equipment of PROFIBUS network, read the data of each I/O station on the PROFIBUS bus. At the same time, it is equipped with PROFINET interface, which can communicate with PC through PROFINET to realize the high-speed data monitoring and control function with PC.

The I / O station adopts ET200S modular distributed I / O station with protection level IP 20, which can be used in Zone 2. By using "bit" templating design, the requirements of automation tasks can be accurately adapted.

In the control of motor, the traditional control method is not adopted. Instead, the SIEMENS motor protection and control device 3UF5 SIMOCODE-DP is adopted. In addition to controlling motor start and stop, it also integrates overload protection, thermistor used for motor overheat protection, grounding fault protection, turn-off protection, current value detection functions in one. 3UF5 SIMOCODE-DP connects to the PROFIBUS bus through the PROFIBUS communication port and becomes a PROFIBUS slave station to communicate with PLC.

The blower is controlled by SIEMENS frequency converter, and the air volume can be adjusted by frequency conversion. This is a scheme often used in power plant air supply system.

 

Three-phase AC drive system voltage source frequency conversion speed SIEMENS vector control inverter is with IGBT inverter, full digital technology with voltage intermediate loop inverter. Together with Siemens three-phase AC motors, it provides high-performance, most economical solutions for all industrial applications and applications. SIEMENS is based on the drive technology of the system. A universal and modular standard series device SIEMENS vector control series inverter is a series of universal and modular products. The power range of the standard set is from 0.55 kW to 2300 kW. The three-phase AC grid voltage that covers the whole world is 380 V to 690 V.

 

The operator station uses 5 IPC to monitor and operate the system. One of them monitors the public system, and each incinerator-HRSG system is monitored by an industrial computer. IPC and three PLC connect to PROFINET through network cable and switch to exchange data.

1 Introduction

China's electric arc furnace smelting process has been lagging behind before the 1980s. After decades of development, the smelting process and control performance gradually catch up with the international level. Especially in magnesium oxide smelting, UniMAT PLC system has been affirmed by the equipment manufacturing customers, realizing automatic control, reducing manual workload and equipment damage and economic losses caused by manual misoperation.

 

2 working principle

Electric arc furnace smelting is a kind of low voltage and high current working mode. Electric energy is injected into graphite electrode, and an arc is formed between electrode and ore. The arc temperature is as high as 3000 C, which can effectively melt magnesium carbonate ore. The electric arc furnace mainly consists of electric arc furnace transformer, graphite electrode, lifting arm, moving furnace body, frequency conversion motor, control system and so on. Graphite electrodes are fixed on the lifting arm respectively, and the distance between graphite electrodes and ore is adjusted by the forward and reverse drive of frequency conversion motor, thus realizing the current control, ensuring the three-phase current balance and realizing the automatic control. Figure 1 describes the main components of the electric arc furnace.

UniMAT CPU226 has 24DI and 16DO; extensible 7 IO modules; integrates 2 communication ports, all supporting PPI communication; program storage space is 20K, user data storage space is 10K; uses FLASH technology to maintain power-down for a long time, without battery support, can save data for up to 10 years; special AES iterative encryption algorithm, protection Intellectual property rights.

 

 

4 control process

 

The core idea of the control system is to control the distance between graphite electrode and ore material, so as to control the current. The key node is the accuracy and stability of current and voltage signal acquisition. In order to achieve the above purposes, EM231 analog input module is selected to collect A, B, C three-phase current and voltage, and EM232 analog output module is used to provide - 10V to 10V voltage signals for inverter operation. The CPU processes the signals collected by EM231 and EM232, and realizes the automatic operation of the equipment according to the preset program. Figure 2 describes the corresponding functions of each PLC module of the control system. (forwarding password: UniMAT UN200 series PLC)

Fig. 2 function of PLC module

The system can realize two automatic and manual control modes. In automatic operation, the CPU collects feedback signals such as voltage and current and compares them with current settings, calculates them, and adjusts the analog voltage output to control the motor's forward and backward running frequency. During manual operation, the positive and negative frequencies of the motor are adjusted by operating the buttons on the control panel. Manual operation takes precedence over automatic operation when abnormal equipment occurs.

 

 

 

The system has the functions of fault alarm, failure shutdown and so on. When the equipment fails, there is a sound photoelectric alarm function, prompting the operator to respond, if there are serious faults such as current overrun, motor blockage, equipment automatic shutdown.

5 concluding remarks

The industrial control environment of the equipment is abominable, with transformers up to 20000KVA or more; graphite electrodes and materials directly produce high temperature arc; 3-phase 4-wire power supply system; complex electromagnetic environment, the CPU and module stability and anti-interference ability have higher requirements. Through verification, the UniMAT PLC module passed the harsh environment test.
