1.2 First de-dusting and gas recovery system of converter

In first de-dusting and gas recovery system of converter, we design two programs, girth wet dust cleaning system and LT dry electricity dust cleaning system. V olume gas recovery >90m3(standard condition)

1) The technical data of the converter

(1) Nominal capacity 160t

(2) The average refining cycle converter 45 min once

(3) Maximum rate of carbon reduction 0.48%/min

(4) Carbon content in molten iron 4.0-4.2%

(6) Temperature of furnace gas ~1500℃

(7) The original volume of furnace gas 97440m3/h(standard condition)

(8) Concentration of dust ~120g/ m3(standard condition)

2) Process of dust cleaning system (wet dust cleaning program)

The temperature of initial waste gas will go down to 900℃after passing through cooling flue. Gas goes into the spray scrubber through the swirling water seal, After going through the spray scrubber, dust over 5 microns in the gas will attach to the basic water spray, Under the action of gravity, integrated washing dust water settles at lowest place in the bottom of the tower and reaches circulating water treatment station through a water seal device, the pipeline and turbid water tank

Through the spray scrubber, the temperature of gas will decrease from 900℃to saturation temperature 75℃, efficiency of dust collection reach 97%. The saturate gas will enter annular gap scrubber through connecting pipe.

The annual tap scrubber provides adjustable girth throat, the micro-pressure difference inside and outside the mouth can translate in the electric signal by the differential pressure transmitter. Led by adjusting the hydraulic actuator unit

action, drive within the venturi tube up and down movement within the cone, the temperature of waste gas in annual tap decrease 7℃, and the outlet temperature is 68℃.

The annual tap scrubber is dual throat, and work flow rate stabilized at 80-100m / s. the minimum design velocity is 60m/s, while the maximum design flow rate is 120m/s, diameter of droplets is between twenty-five and seventy microns, dust removal efficiency can reach 98 ~ 99.9%.

After treatment, concentration of flue gas emission will be <50mg/m3 (standard conditions).

After air with water droplets enters the 90o bend evaporator, due to the subject of inertia and centrifugal effect, Water droplets left behind to the vane of evaporator and wall of the device and shed along the wall, at the lowest point through the pipeline, water seal device and drainage trap ,the droplets reach the circulating water tank station.

In order to achieve better dewatering effect, behind the 90o bend evaporator the re-establishment of a cyclone evaporator is installed to further separated droplets from the flue gas. Water droplets under the action of centrifugal force is separated and collected in the inner wall of the container. After collecting the water at the bottom of the lowest point in the cone, it will reach circulating water tank station through pipeline, water seal and drainage trap.

Fan of waste gas cleaning system is double support, double inlet, single outlet turbine gas blowers with automatic spray cleaning impeller wash system.

The air flow of the fan is 210000 m3/h, the pressure is between 23000Pa and 26000Pa.The equipped motor adopt frequency control to achieve energy saving. After the fan, we equipped a coal gas converter station, a emergency relief valve, a water seal check valve and a V-shaped water seal.

In the system Micro-elements oxygen and CO continuous automatic analyzers are provided and chain with switching station, in order that coal gas recovery and elution convert automatically. When the gas recovery condition meets, convert the valve to recovery state, at that time the converter gas transports to gas tank through the water seal check valve; when the condition is not satisfied, convert the valve to elution state, the converter gas exhausts by the sixty meters high chimney, while the ignition of the coke oven gas electromagnetic valve opens, the ignition device ignite oven gas burner automatically, so the coal gas drain from the chimney get burned. Two minutes later, the ignition of the coke oven gas electromagnetic valve closes automatically. When the switching station convert to recovery state again, the steam automatic purge device in the bottom of bleeding chimney startup, and shut down automatically after a purge of about two minutes.

Upstream of gas switching station, a bypass valve is installed. If the switching station failures, the bypass valve opens, converter gas will diffuse through bleeding chimney.

The system equipped with online temperature, pressure, vibration testing and control systems, controlled by PLC, which has man-machine interface.

(8) Gas blower one set

(9) Riot Frequency conversion motor one set

(10) Overflow water sealing holder three sets

(11) Maintenance crane of 20t one set 3).Process of de-dusting system (dry de-dusting program)

For first gas purification and recovery system, each converter sets up one set (the following description is written for one set). Converter gas purification and gas recovery system uses the LT dry program for cleaning and recycling. The furnace gas mix with a small amount of air at hood mouth, burning coefficient α = 10%, after cooled by the cooling flue, it comes into the purification and recovery system. The LT dry program device mainly comprises gas cooling system, gas purifying and ash conveying system, Safety control system and other ancillary equipment. The purification equipment mainly consists of four electric field round ESP, flue gas dust content after purification was less than 15mg/m3(standard conditions).

The main function for equipments of first gas purification and recovery system is showed as follows (each converter sets up a gas purification and recovery system, the following description is written for one set):

(1) Evaporative cooler

Evaporative cooler is direct cooling gas equipment, which a double nozzle medium spray is set at the top of the cooler for fine spray of water; the amount of water is adjusted according to the hot air exhaust enthalpy. After the procedure, temperature of waste gas will go down to 180℃, and dust concentration of waste gas decreases about 40%

(2) Dry electrostatic precipitator

After cooled by evaporator cooler, the converter waste gas enters dry electrostatic precipitator. In order that the dry electrostatic precipitator has better explosion-proof ability and aerodynamic characteristics, its shell is designed to cylindrical, in the case of converter gas explosion, in order to ensure safety of equipment, there are four scalable explosion venting and automatic reset of the safety valve in the electrostatic precipitator inlet and outlet of the cone parts. Four dry electrostatic precipitators ensure that gas dust concentration can be less than 20mg/m3 (standard condition) after treating by dry electrostatic precipitator with four fields.

Process Design of the Electric Dust Catcher of Converter Gas System

The dust content in the converter gas coming out of gas holder will be as high

as ～l00mg/m3, which can not used in the steel making and rolling system. In order to meet the requirement of consumers, purification will be designed for converter gas to reduce the dust content to l0mg/m3 or below.

The maximum delivery flow of the converter gas recovery system is ～43000m3/h, so two 60000 m3/h plate-type electric dust catchers will be designed.

The electric dust catchers will be located between gas holder outlet and booster,

i.e. the converter gas coming out of gas holder will be sent to electric dust catchers

throughΦ1620x8. Before entering electric dust catchers, the converter gas should pass DN1600 butterfly valve and goggle valve. Converter gas purified in the electric dust catchers will go through goggle valve and electric butterfly valve before entering boosting system.

Control of the electric dust catchers will be realized through computers installed in control room. In order to clean electric dust catchers, continuous and intermittent water spray system will be designed for the electric dust catchers.

In order to achieve automatic control of the electric dust catchers, automatic process detection system will be provided to provide such control functions as spark frequency tracking, peak valve tracking, intermittent discharge and etc., so as to adjust production process intermittently, hence to optimize the working condition of equipment.

In order to assure safe operation of electric dust catchers, micro-oxygen analyzer will be mounted on the gas pipeline before electric dust catchers to give alarm in case of too high oxygen content in converter gas, in which case the high-voltage power supply of electric dust catchers will be cut off automatically.

Meanwhile, the valves on the inlet piping of electric dust catchers will be closed and valves of by-pass will open, so that converter gas can enter boosting system through the by-pass. Self-enclosed relief valve will be mounted on the proper of electric dust catcher to assure safe operation.

(3).Fans and motor

Because the resistance of electrostatic precipitator is small, purification system using axial flow fan, whose motor apply frequency conversion control, and it will greatly reduce power consumption, lower production costs.

（4）Boosting Station of Converter Gas

The converter gas coming out of gas holder has a pressure of ～3.0kPa, which does not meet the requirement of consumers, so a boosting station will be designed.

The main building of the boosting station will be a two-layer structure with two bays. The main production bay will have a span of 9.8m and the auxiliary bay will have a span of 6.0m. Three centrifugal blowers (two work, one standby) will be provided in the boosting station. Besides, one electric mono-rail bridge crane will be designed in the boosting station. The auxiliary bay is mainly for control room, power distribution room and living welfare facilities. Necessary movable firefighting facilities will be provided in power supply and distribution room.

Main technical parameters of converter gas boosters:

- Type: centrifugal blowers

- Inlet flow: 600m3/min

- Pressure rise: 19~21kPa

- Motor power: 400kW

Nitrogen is mainly used for the purging of gas holder, boosters, electric dust catchers and pipelines. The maximum consumption of nitrogen will be 20OOm3/h and the pressure of it will be approximately 0.4MPa. Nitrogen will be used intermittently.

(5) Gas saturator

In order to reduce the gas tank capacity, improve the quality of converter gas, the gas saturator is set up between the switching devices and gas tank, so that the converter gas temperature drops to 70℃.

(1) Explosion-proof measures

In order to ensure production safety, the relationship of the treatment between the explosion and the vent, we should first focus on the explosion, and eliminate all the conditions that may cause an explosion before the explosion.

The low-temperature area downstream of evaporative cooling flue should avoid dead areas, and speed up gas flow rate as far as possible, to prevent the gas retention. Explosion-proof films are set up in all dead corners; explosion-proof seal are set up on related department of the system, so it can vent explosion in the event of an accident. For the locations that gas may leak, all ventilation equipment should be asked to consider in accordance with explosion-proof.

(2) Speed control of gas blower

Gas blower’s speed is controlled by frequency conversion motor, in order to achieve energy conservation. Motor speed is chain with the tilting converter. When the converter tilting to the tapping position, fan shift from high-speed to low speed; when the converter swing to charge hot metal, plus scrap, the furnace goes back to "zero" position, the fan operates at high-speed.

(3) Continuous automatic analysis of gas composition and automatic control of gas switching stations

Continuous automatic analysis of gas composition at the outlet of the fan, when the gas recovery condition meets, open recovery of the gas switching station side automatically, and elution side closed. Otherwise, the gas ignition bleeds.

Two 160 t converters will be built in this project, each converter will be equipped with one set of water cooled flue to cool down high temperature flume and recover gas.

2.2 Composition and characteristics of water cooled flue system of converter

The converter flue is cooled by closed loop circulation soft water. Soft water of ~68℃ passes through the air cooler flows to water inlet pipe by hot water circulation pump and then enter the flue. After heated in the water cooled flue, the hot water is collected to the expansion water tank through the riser at ~88℃ from where it flows through the down comer to the air cooler while being cooled for recycling.

Water in the system will expanded while heated, so expansion water tank is used to compensate such volume expansion. To prevent high temperature water from becoming steam which will affect system operation, nitrogen is used for boosting at the water surface of the expansion tank and the nitrogen pressure is kept between 0.15 and 0.4MPa, which is higher than the saturated pressure of the water in order to make the whole system always kept at saturated status.
