Abstract

A method of preventing high temperature corrosion on a heat exchanging surface of a biomass boiler, including: a first feeding step, supplying a first biomass fuel to the boiler; a deposition step, performing combustion on the first biomass fuel during initial operation of the boiler, and forming an inert deposition layer on a surface of a heat exchanger of the boiler; a second feeding step, supplying a second biomass fuel different from the first biomass fuel to the boiler; and a normal combustion step, performing combustion on the second biomass fuel. A direct contact of an alkali metal chloride with a metal pipe wall is prevented by forming an inert deposition layer on the surface of the heat exchanger of the boiler in the deposition step, thereby establishing a physical barrier between the heat exchanging surface and the alkali metal chloride to prevent corrosion on the metal pipe wall.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A boiler combustion method using biomass as fuel, comprising:
a first feeding step, supplying a first biomass fuel to a boiler, wherein the first biomass fuel is a mixture of kaolin and a second biomass fuel in the first feeding step, a chlorine content of biomass in the first biomass fuel is below 0.2% in the first feeding step, and a ratio of mass of kaolin in the first biomass fuel to a total mass of alkali metal and chlorine elements is from 2:5 to 6:5 in the first feeding step;
a deposition step, performing combustion on the first biomass fuel during initial operation of the boiler, and forming an inert deposition layer on the a surface of a heat exchanger of the boiler;
a second feeding step, supplying the second biomass fuel to the boiler; and
a normal combustion step, performing combustion on the second biomass fuel; and
a drying step, performing a drying process on the boiler after the first feeding step or the normal combustion step, wherein the drying step includes at least one of the following processing steps:
an airtight processing step, performing airtight processing on a boiler door of the boiler to prevent the inert deposition layer from absorbing moisture in the air;
a waterproof processing step, coating the heat exchanger with a waterproof material to prevent the inert deposition layer from absorbing moisture in the air; and
a purging and drying processing step, supplying gas for drying to an inside of the boiler to purge and dry moisture adhered to the surface of the inert deposition layer.

2. The boiler combustion method using biomass as fuel according to claim 1 , wherein initial operation of the boiler is a time range from a starting-up time of the boiler to a time 48 hours after starting-up.

3. The boiler combustion method using biomass as fuel according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a detection step detecting a thickness of the inert deposition layer after the deposition step,
wherein the second feeding step is performed after the detection step is completed.

4. The boiler combustion method using biomass as fuel according to claim 1 , wherein a mass percentage of the kaolin in the first biomass fuel is variable during feeding in the first feeding step.
