  • Patent number: 11441774
    Abstract: 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 fue

  • Patent number: 11408318
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device is disclosed provided with a denitration catalyst for reducing and removing nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas using ammonia as a reducing agent in a gas flow passage through which the exhaust gas discharged from a boiler flows, and which injects ammonia into the exhaust gas flowing through the gas flow passage on an upstream side of the denitration catalyst, including multiple disturbing plate support members, and a disturbing plate. The multiple disturbing plate support members are fixedly provided on a downstream side of the denitration catalyst and arranged extending linearly in a flow path cross section to cross the gas flow passage. The disturbing plate includes an exhaust gas flow facing surface exposed on an upstream side and is fixed to the disturbing plate support members so that a position thereof in the flow path cross section can be changed.

  • Patent number: 9283520
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to easily reduce dust having large particle diameter that affects blocking and abrasion to prevent deposition thereof in a reactor. An exhaust gas NOx removal apparatus comprises a NOx removal rector having a catalyst layer for removing nitrogen oxides in a combustion exhaust gas; a duct structure having a stab-up point at which a flow of the exhaust gas changes from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction in an exhaust gas duct on the upstream side of the NOx removal reactor; a tilt thin plate slit in which a number of thin plates are disposed in the duct of the horizontal direction of an inlet of the stub-up point or/and in an inlet of the catalyst layer in the NOx removal reactor in a vertical direction with a slit width smaller than an opening width of the catalyst layer at a predetermined inclination angle relative to the cross-section of an exhaust gas flow path; and a dust collecting/discharging portion attached to the lower end of a tilt thin plate slit.

  • Patent number: 8784740
    Abstract: An exhaust gas denitrizer removes nitrogen oxides from rejoined exhaust gas using a denitrification reactor after supplying ammonia gas to the rejoined exhaust gas made up of main exhaust gas cooled by a fuel economizer by flowing through a main duct and bypass exhaust gas maintained at high temperature by flowing through a bypass duct adapted to bypass the fuel economizer. At a meeting place between the main exhaust gas and bypass exhaust gas in the main duct, three partition plates are installed with plate surfaces turned to an inflow direction of the bypass exhaust gas, partitioning a main exhaust gas channel into a plurality of sub-channels. Upstream-side ends of the partition plates face the incoming bypass exhaust gas by being shifted from one another toward an upstream side of the main exhaust gas starting from an inflow side of the bypass exhaust gas.
