Numerical Simulation Analysis of the Optimized and Transformed 200MW Pulverized Coal Fired Boiler Burner

Abstract:

With the use of computational fluid mechanics software – FLUENT, the numerical simulation computation of combustion process inside a certain 200MW corner tangential firing boiler whose combustor is transformed by the multi-grade efficient low-nitrogen combustion technology was conducted, thus the furnace temperature, velocity, mixture and NOx concentration field at rated conditions before and after the transformation were obtained. The calculation results were highly identical with the industrial test results. The results show that after using the multi-grade efficient low-nitrogen combustion technology, the NOx emissions significantly lowered down with the drop of about 40% compared with the emissions before transformation, while the furnace coking and high temperature corrosion were effectively controlled, achieving good economic and social benefits and providing a reference to the design and transformation of the same types of boilers.
