Abstract

In this study, Seochon Thermal Power Plant No.1 for anthracite coal was tested to find the proper operation range of limestone slurry pH in the absorber tower which can be operated continuously in compliance with the Air Quality Preservation Act and Seocheon Thermal Power Division's internal regulation, sulfur dioxide average emission regulation. When operating the sulfur dioxide concentration [ppm] in the combustion gas flowing into the desulfurization absorption tower at 370, 400, 460 and 550 ppm while the main operating elements such as the flow rate of the combustion gas were fixed, the proper slurry pH Were 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 and 5.1, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to operate with the correlation equation, RpH=0.004×Cin+2.93 derived using sulfur dioxide and the appropriate slurry pH.

본 연구에서는 무연탄용 서천화력발전소 1호기가 대기환경보전법 및 서천화력발전본부 내부 규정인 이산화황 평균 배출 규제치를 준수하며 연속운전 할 수 있는 흡수탑 내부의 석회석 슬러리 pH의 적정 운전범위를 찾고자 실험 하였다. 연소가스의 유량등 주요 운전요소를 고정한 상태에서 탈황 흡수탑으로 유입되는 연소가스 내의 이산화황 농도, Cin[ppm]을 370, 400, 460 그리고 550 ppm으로 변동시키며 운전하였을 때, 탈황 흡수탑 내부 적정 슬러리 pH는 4.4, 4.5, 4.8 그리고 5.1이었다. 따라서, 이산화 황과 적정 슬러리 pH를 이용하여 도출된 상관관계식 RpH=0.004×Cin+2.93을 이용하여 운전하는 것을 추천한다.
