What is the principle of FGR in low-nitrogen gas boilers?
Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) is one of the most effective techniques employed in modern boiler systems to achieve low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a group of pollutants responsible for smog formation and acid rain. To truly appreciate the value of FGR and its widespread adoption in boiler technology, it's essential to delve into the underlying principles and its benefits.
1. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) in Boiler Combustion:
When fuel is burned in boilers, several by-products are formed. Among these are nitrogen oxides, which emerge primarily from the nitrogen content in the combustion air. NOx formation is predominantly influenced by combustion temperatures: the higher the temperature, the more NOx is generated. In boiler operations, particularly in high-temperature zones, these oxides can form in significant amounts, leading to environmental challenges.
2. The Essence of FGR:
FGR, or Flue Gas Recirculation, is a technique wherein a portion of the flue gas produced post-combustion is reintroduced (or 'recirculated') back into the boiler's combustion chamber. This recirculated flue gas, being rich in carbon dioxide and water vapor, is less oxygen-concentrated than the fresh intake air.
3. How FGR Reduces NOx Formation:
The inclusion of this recirculated flue gas effectively reduces the overall oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber and, more critically, reduces peak combustion temperatures. Remember, it's the high temperatures that drive NOx formation. By tempering these temperatures, FGR directly impacts and curtails the generation of nitrogen oxides.
4. Benefits Beyond NOx Reduction:
Apart from curbing NOx emissions, FGR can also enhance boiler efficiency. By recirculating flue gases, there's a moderation in the combustion process, leading to more complete fuel burn and reduced fuel wastage.
5. Integrating FGR in Boiler Systems:
While the principle of FGR might sound straightforward, its integration into boiler systems demands precision. Too much recirculation can lead to incomplete combustion, while too little might not achieve the desired NOx reductions. Hence, the right balance is critical.
