Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a process and system for NO x removal at coal burning power plants, which includes introducing ammonia that is liberated upon drying a mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products having a pH of at least 9.5, to a coal burner in the power plant.
- the present invention is also directed to a process and system of fueling a coal burner of a power plant with coal and a dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products.
- the present invention is further directed to the dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products made by the processes of the present invention.
- Organic waste has traditionally been disposed of by incineration, primarily in stand-alone plants designed for a particular waste.
- Wet waste such as dewatered sewage sludge filter cake, requires supplemental fuel to initiate and sustain burning, and sludges are not self-burning until solids contents are greater than about 30 %.
- Dry organic waste such as paper and cardboard are net energy producers and municipal refuse incinerators that use these feedstocks are capable of significant power generation.
- dried animal manures like broiler chicken litter which contains sawdust that is used as bedding, can have a solids content in excess of 75 % and can be incinerated with out supplemental fuel. Methods of more efficiently disposing of organic waste are desirable.
- NO x created during the burning of coal can react with volatile organic compounds in the presence of heat and sunlight to form ozone.
- Gaseous ammonia in the form of commercial anhydrous ammonia and its main derivative, urea, are currently used in treating fossil fuel combustion exhausts for NO x removal. This is a very expensive process, however. Therefore, inexpensive sources of ammonia or methods of recycling ammonia are desirable.
- the present invention is directed to processes and systems for NO x removal at coal burning power plants, which include introducing ammonia liberated upon drying a mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products having a pH of at least about 9.5 or 10, to a coal burner in the power plant.
- the liberated ammonia that is introduced to the coal burner by the present processes and system may supplement commercial anhydrous ammonia or urea added to the coal burner for NO x removal.
- the present invention is also directed to processes and systems of fueling a coal burner of a power plant with coal and a dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products.
- the coal is preferably pulverized coal.
- the dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products is a source of supplemental fuel to the coal burner.
- the present invention is further directed to the dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products made by the processes of the present invention.
- the mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products optionally additionally contains lime.
- the mixture is dried to preferably at least 90 % solids. The drying preferably takes place in a direct or indirect dryer and preferably uses waste heat from the power plant.
- organic waste used in the process of the present invention include, but are not limited to, dewatered sewage sludge filter cake, various animal manures, pulp and paper waste, shredded paper and cardboard, food waste, and other organic industrial waste.
- Figure 1 is a flow diagram of the organic waste drying and fuel feed system of the present processes and systems.
- the present inventors have arrived at a system that synergistically incorporates the processes of drying organic waste, and reducing NO x emissions at a
- waste heat and by-products
- a process is provided for NO x removal at coal burning power plants, which
- the process includes supplying liberated ammonia from waste treatment to a coal burning power plant.
- the process includes mixing organic waste with coal combustion by-products to form an organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture having a pH of at least 9.5, preferably at least 10.
- a U.S. Provisional Application filed on April 20 2001 entitled "Methods for Controlling Ignitability of Organic Waste with Mineral By-Products" which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, the addition of coal combustion by-product to organic waste prior to drying prevents fires and explosions that are common in conventional organic materials drying.
- the process of the present invention then includes drying the organic waste- coal combustion by-product mixture to at least 90% solids, preferably at least 95% solids, most preferably as near 100% solids as possible, thus forming a "dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture" and causing ammonia to be liberated from said organic waste.
- the liberated ammonia is introduced into a coal burner of a coal burning power plant for NO x removal.
- Examples of organic waste that are mixed with coal combustion by-products in the processes and systems of the present invention include, but are not limited to, sewage sludges, such as dewatered sewage sludge filter cake, various animal manures, pulp and paper waste, shredded paper and cardboard, fermentation waste, food waste, and other industrial organic waste. What is meant by the named types of waste would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- sewage sludges such as dewatered sewage sludge filter cake, various animal manures, pulp and paper waste, shredded paper and cardboard, fermentation waste, food waste, and other industrial organic waste. What is meant by the named types of waste would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the ammonia in these wastes is converted to free gaseous ammonia, particular, organic waste such as sewage sludges, animal manures, fermentation biomass, and some food waste are high in protein and ammonia.
- Organic wastes that are particularly suitable for use in the present invention contain ammonia that is liberated under certain
- Coal combustion by-products may include by-products from the coal burner from which NO x is removed by the process of the present invention or coal
- coal combustion by- • products examples include, but are not limited to the following by-products: fly ash, fluidized bed ash, flue gas desulfurization byproducts, lime, calcium hydroxide, and calcium carbonate, h particular, preferred coal combustion by-products include alkaline mineral by-products.
- Fly ashes are the mineral residues of burning coal for electricity generation. Fly ash can be collected from the smoke stack of a burner (or furnace) by bag houses, electrostatic precipitators, or in down washes. Fly ashes have variable fineness, solids content, and chemical composition. Preferable fly ashes for use in the present invention are dry ashes. The chemical composition of ash depends on the type of coal that is burned.
- coals from the western U.S. are typically high in calcium and thus, may contain a higher lime content than coals from the eastern U.S. Eastern coals are often higher in pyrite (FeS 2 ), which oxidizes on burning to SO 2 , producing an acidic fly ash.
- FeS 2 pyrite
- Fly ashes are high in silicon, and are often in the form of a spherical glass. Some fly ashes are high in residual carbon in the form of charcoal and these are effective in absorbing biosolids odors.
- Fluidized bed ash refers to ash that is produced in a fluidized bed burner, in which a mixture of pulverized coal and limestone is burnt as a suspended, i.e., fluid, mass, the purpose of the limestone being to react with SO 2 produced from the oxidation of pyrite in the coal.
- Flue gas desulfurization by-product is a general term referring to a range of products formed when lime or limestone are used to remove SO 2 produced from the oxidation of pyrite in the coal.
- FGDs may be pure gypsum (CaSO 4 .2H 2 O), anhydrite (CaSO 4 ), or CaSO 3 .
- FGDs may also contain fly ash, unburnt carbon and unreacted lime.
- Lime (CaO), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) ), and limestone, as calcite (CaCO 3 ) or dolomite (CaMg(CO 3 ) are commercial alkaline products familiar to those skilled in the art.
- FIG. 1 An example of the processes of the present invention is depicted in Figure 1.
- organic waste from source 1 and one or more coal combustion by-products from source 2 are added to a mixer 3 in which the organic waste and coal combustion by-products are mixed with one another to form an organic waste- coal combustion by-product mixture having a pH of at least about 9.5, preferably at least 10.
- the mixing additionally includes mixing lime with the organic waste and coal combustion byproducts.
- the organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture is then transferred to a dryer 4.
- the organic waste and coal combustion by-products are mixed directly in the dryer 4 eliminating the need for a separate mixer 3.
- a dryer 4 dries the organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture to at least 90% solids, preferably 95%o solids, forming a dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture.
- Commercial dryers which may be used to accomplish such drying, are available in two forms, direct and indirect.
- a dryer according to the present invention may include at least one direct dryer or indirect dryer. Direct dryers use heated air in direct contact with the organic waste.
- exhaust stack gases from the power plant are used directly or waste steam or hot water from the power plant are used with a heat exchanger to heat air for drying.
- indirect dryers are used, which heat metal surfaces that come in contact with the organic waste.
- waste steam or hot water from the power plant is used to heat the drying surfaces via a heat exchanger in which the waste steam or water is used to heat oil, the fluid normally used in indirect dryers.
- suitable dryers include direct concurrent flow dryers, horizontal single, double and triple pass indirect dryers, and vertical counter flow rotating disk indirect dryers.
- the heat for the drying may include using waste heat 5 from the coal burning power plant in addition to or instead of heat from another source, such as a steam turbine 11 in the embodiment depicted in Figure 1.
- the power plant waste heat 5 used in the drying maybe in the form of hot exhaust gases, steam or hot water, for example, and may be used with direct or indirect dryers.
- the amount of ammonia or urea to be introduced to the coal burner for NO x removal may be determined by those skilled in the art.
- the process includes reacting scavenged exhaust gasses from the drying step with at least one reactive material to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the exhaust gasses and thereby decrease any carbon emissions from the drying step.
- suitable reactive materials may include, for example, Ca(OH)2-
- One embodiment of the present invention includes a process where the coal combustion by-product is an alkaline mineral by-product and the drying step produces a by-product that may be useful, for example, as a soil additive to substitute for agricultural limestone to neutralize soil acidity.
- a further embodiment of the present invention is the by-product produced by this process.
- Another embodiment of the present invention includes feeding the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture to a coal burner as supplemental fuel, along with coal.
- the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture may be suitable as a supplemental fuel because its caloric content is similar to that of coal. For example, undigested sewage sludge has a caloric content similar to that of coal, approximately 10,000 BTU per pound.
- the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture is preferably mixed with the coal prior to being fed to the coal burner.
- the coal is pulverized coal.
- FIG 1 An example of this embodiment is also depicted in Figure 1.
- the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture leaves the dryer 4 and is carried in stream 8 to the coal feed 9 where the coal feed is mixed with the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture prior to being introduced to the coal burner 6.
- a further embodiment of the present invention includes the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture formed by the above-described processes. This mixture may be used for example, as a soil additive or may be added to a coal burner of a power plant as depicted for example as feed stream 8 in Figure 1.
- the present invention is further directed to systems including a coal burner, a coal feed to the coal burner, and an ammonia feed to the coal burner, where the ammonia feed includes ammonia liberated upon drying a mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products, where the mixture has a pH of at least 9.5, preferably at least 10.
- the steps involved in these systems, such as drying a mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-products, and the ingredients of the system, such as the organic waste and coal combustion-by products, are as described above with regard to the processes of the present invention.
- the coal feed includes coal and the dried mixture of organic waste and coal combustion by-product as described above.
- the coal is pulverized coal in this embodiment.
- One preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a process in which organic waste is mixed with coal combustion by-products, with or without lime, to raise the pH of the mixture above 9.5. The mixture is then dried to at least 90 % solids in a direct or indirect dryer using waste heat from the power plant. Liberated ammonia from the organic waste is introduced into the burner for NO x removal, and the dried organic waste-coal combustion by-product mixture is mixed with pulverized coal as supplemental fuel.
- fly ash with or without lime is added to organic waste to achieve a pH preferably greater than 10 and to aid in drying to high solids without the problem of fires or explosions.
- Hot exhaust gases, steam, hot water, or a combination of these heat sources scavenged from the power plant may be used to dry, in a direct or indirect dryer, the fly ash-organic waste mixture to a solids content of at least 95%, preferably near 100 %.
- Exhaust gases from the dryer, containing free ammonia from the organic waste are piped into the coal burner to supplement ammonia addition to the coal burner for NO x removal.
- the dried fly ash-organic waste mixture is conveyed to the coal feed area of the power plant and mixed with coal prior to or after coal pulverization to serve as a supplemental fuel source.
- the dried fly ash-organic waste mixture can be used as a soil additive.
- An anaerobically digested sewage sludge is mixed with spent fluidized bed coal ash containing 10 % by weight CaO at a coal-fired power plant burning high-S coal. Fly ash and sludge are mixed to form a mixture having a pH of 12 or above.
- the mixture is introduced into a vertical counter-current indirect dryer with rotating plates in which the rotating plates are heated with excess steam from the power plant.
- the sludge contains 2 % by dry weight of ammonia. Due to the high pH, ammonia is released from the sludge in the dryer and is exhausted and piped to the coal burner to supplement anhydrous aimnonia or urea used for NO x control from the coal burner.
- the mixture is dried to > 95 % solids.
- the dried mixture is conveyed by covered belt to the coal feed hopper where it is further mixed with coal. This mixture is fed into the coal pulverizer and thence into the burner.
- the mixing of high CaO fly ash with sludge results in the formation of Ca(OH) 2 .
- the concurrent introduction of exhaust air from the plant results in carbonation of the Ca(OH) 2 to form CaCO 3 .
- the presence of CaCO 3 in the dried mixture reduces the amount of commercial limestone required by the power plant for sulfur removal.
- the processes and systems of the present invention are advantageous over previously known processes because combining organic waste drying with the addition of alkaline coal combustion by-products at a power plant allows the ammonia in the organic waste to be utilized for NO x removal, while taking advantage of the fuel value of the dried organic waste.
- the present processes and systems also provide flexibility in resource utilization in that the dried alkaline organic waste can be used either as fuel or as a separate product that can be applied to land as a soil additive.
