How to effectively reduce the low NOx produced during oilfield steam boiler combustion?

Background technology

As the main production position at the present stage of oilfield production, heavy oil thermal recovery plays a key role in the stable supply of crude oil in China. Steam injection boiler, the key equipment of heavy oil thermal recovery, is not only an important guarantee for heavy oil production.

With the continuous strengthening of environmental requirements, protecting water resources and controlling air pollution have become the key points restricting heavy oil production. How to achieve environmental protection and provide energy for heavy oil production has become the key research direction of heavy oil production technology. It is very important and urgent to study the steam injection boiler with low flue gas emission.

From 2013 to 2014, the technical testing center conducted a flue gas index test on 16 steam injection boilers in use, including 6 sets of crude oil, 8 sets of fuel oil (residue), and 2 sets of natural gas. From the test results, the flue gas discharged by burning natural gas can basically meet the standard, while others can not meet the standard.

According to the formation mechanism of nitrogen oxides, nitrogen compounds in the flue gas are mainly divided into thermal type, fuel type and fast type NOx, of which the generation amount of fast type NOx is very small and can be ignored. Thermal NOx means that when the furnace temperature is above 1350 ℃, nitrogen in the air is oxidized to generate NOx at high temperatures.

When the temperature is high enough, thermal NOx can reach 20%. Fuel type NOx refers to the NOx generated by the organic nitrides in the fuel during combustion, and its amount mainly depends on the mixing ratio of air and fuel. Fuel type NOx accounts for about 75% ~ 90% of the total NOx generation.

The beneficial effects of this unit are: the emulsifier can emulsify the fuel oil, the emulsified fuel oil produces a “micro explosion” effect in the combustion process, can improve the combustion process, the vaporization and heat absorption of water in the emulsified fuel reduces the working medium temperature and the maximum combustion temperature, significantly reduces the thermal cracking reaction of the fuel oil and inhibits the formation of soot. According to the measured flame temperature, the PLC controller, The automatic air regulating valve in the secondary air duct is automatically adjusted to control the input of secondary air, which can effectively improve the combustion in the second half of the flame, ensure the complete combustion of fuel and ensure the combustion efficiency under the condition of less NOx generation.
