2.3 Auditing description

2.3.1 Objective and significance of auditing

2.3.1.1 Objective

Perform production site investigation, documents examination and necessary tests, analyze the

environmental protection condition of enterprise, confirm the environmental protection level,

find out existing problems and risks, analyze and compare the potential for environmental

protection, propose practical measures and suggestions for environmental protection, provide

authentic and reliable environmental protection information to the government, guide the

enterprise to improve the level of environmental management and promote the sustainable

development of economy and environment.

2.3.1.2 Significance

1. Needs for determining and releasing the environmental responsibility of enterprise

The environmental responsibility refers to that born by the enterprise on environmental

pollution treatment and ecological environment protection. The environmental auditing is

applied to monitor, evaluate and identify the above responsibilities of enterprise, identify and

release the responsibilities of the audited enterprise in a fair and special way, identify the scope

and nature of responsibilities and protect the lawful rights of the enterprise.

2. Internal demands for sustainable operation of the enterprise

The enterprise engaging in production, operation, market development, etc. must pay a

particular attention to the environmental image and achievement. The mistake in environmental

policy will bring challenges to the managers, lead to financial failure and even bankruptcy and

liquidation. The enterprise can build a favorable internal and external environmental and

ensure the sustainable development through the emphasis on environmental protection and

active involvement in environmental treatment and protection.

3. Important components for management auditing of enterprise

The environmental auditing supervises and evaluates the environmental management activities

of enterprise in management plan, control procedure and control method, analyzes the internal

factors affecting enterprise management benefit and efficiency, improves the control system for

environmental management, urges the enterprise to rationally develop and utilize

environmental resource in fulfilling the social responsibility. On this regard, the environmental

auditing performing analysis and evaluation to the environmental management system is an

important component of enterprise management and auditing.

4. Needs for developing the internal and domestic market

The environmental auditing can assist the Chinese enterprises to develop the international

market as well as the foreign enterprises to settle in China, thus to make contributions to global

economic integration and realize the objective of “mankind has only one home - the earth”.

3.4 Process flow and drainage process

1. Cogeneration boiler

Boilers 1#~5

# are cogeneration boilers, whose major process flow is: the coal at coal yard is

screened, crushed and conveyed into boiler for burning; the chemical energy of coal inside

boiler is changed to heat energy; the boiler produces steam, which will enter turbine to impel

the generator for changing the mechanical energy into electricity; the electricity is then

supplied to customers through power distribution system. Some steam in turbine will enter

backpressure unit 2# and be discharged at the pressure of 0.981MPa to steam users; some steam

will enter extraction condensing unit and be discharged at the pressure of 0.981MPa to steam

users and for backheating; few steam will act and then be discharged to low pressure heater for

heating the condensed water; the rest steam will work and be discharged to condenser and be

cooled into condensed water by circulating water and be heated by low pressure heater and

then be supplied to the deaerator. Then, it will be heated by high pressure heater together with

the make-up water and then be pumped into boiler to become steam, thus forming a

cogeneration system circulating steam and water.

2. Heat supply boiler

Boiler 6#

is a heat supply boiler, whose major process flow is: the coal at coal yard is screened,

crushed and conveyed into boiler for burning; the chemical energy of coal inside boiler is

changed to heat energy; the boiler produces steam and supplies heat supply network water to

users through pumps; the users apply central heating radiator for heat supply; the heat supply

network water with reduced temperature flows back to the coagulator.

The process flow of boilers 1#~5# and sewage production process are detailed in figure 3.4-1.

The process flow of boiler 6# and sewage production process are detailed in figure 3.4-2.

3. External desulfurzation process

Such process is mainly composed of flue gas system, SO2 absorption system, absorbent

preparation system, gypsum treatment system, wastewater treatment system, etc.

① Flue gas system

When the FGD device is operating, the flue gas from boiler draught fan will enter

absorption tower for desulfuration. Then, after the water mist is removed by demister, the flue

gas will be discharged into the atmosphere by brick flue.

② Absorbent preparation system

Limestone slurry made of limestone will be used as absorbent. Limestone powder will be

delivered to limestone powder silo by pneumatic transmission system, and after being

measured by electric star feeder at the bottom of powder silo and belt weighing feeder, the

limestone powder will be delivered to limestone slurry tank and made into limestone slurry

with the density of 25%. The slurry will be pumped to absorption tower for use. The outlet of

slurry pump is provided with flow rate, density measurement and control devices, which can

perform automatic control according to flue gas and SO2 density.

③ Absorption tower system

The absorption tower system is a vital component of flue gas desulfuration project, mainly

comprising an absorption tower, a demister, a circulating slurry pump and an oxygenization

fan, etc. The absorption tower is a spray tower. The flue gas enters into the high speed

absorption zone of absorption tower, collides with absorption slurry sprayed by nozzle in

reverse direction with a high speed, conducts chemical reaction with absorbent, thus to

remove the sulfur dioxide in flue gas. The purified flue gas will be discharged after demisting.

In the circulating slurry pool of absorption tower, calcium sulfite will be oxidized by air into

calcium sulfate. The gypsum drainage pump will deliver gypsum slurry to gypsum dewatering

system through absorption tower.

④ Gypsum slurry dewatering system

The slurry drained by absorption tower is a mixture of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) and other

salts, including MgSO4, MgCL2, Na2SO4, NaCL, CaCL2, limestone (CaCO3), calcium fluoride

(CaF2), ash content, etc. The gypsum slurry will be delivered to gypsum swirler station by

drainage pump for first dewatering and then buffered by gypsum slurry box and fall on vacuum

belt dewatering machine for secondary dewatering. The residual water quantity of gypsum

discharged by dewatering machine will not exceed 10%. The gypsum will fall into gypsum

storeroom from the trail of vacuum belt dewatering machine.

⑤ Process water system

According to the water quality required by each process, the main water consumption

processes are divided as following: flushing water for FDG’s operation of demister; flushing

water for slurry conveying equipment, running piping, storage tank, belt dewatering machine,

etc.; make-up water for absorption tower slurry pool, water for absorbent preparation system;

water for vacuum pump, cooling water for desulfuration system auxiliary machinery, fan, etc.,

water for slurry pump shaft seal, etc. The process water system will be supplied by reuse water.

All the wastewater will be recycled.

⑥ Wastewater treatment system

The wastewater flowed from gypsum swirler will be pumped into wastewater treatment

system by wastewater pump and it will enter into purified water tank in sequence after

neutralization, sedimentation, flocculation, concentration, purification, etc. Most of the purified

water will be recycled and little water will be used by Botong New Building Materials Co., Ltd.

for ash mixing. The sludge reaching a certain quantity at the bottom of concentration and

purification pool will be delivered into centrifugal dewatering machine for dewatering. The

dewatered gypsum will be transported to Botong New Building Materials Co., Ltd. for

recycling. The water discharged by dewatering machine will be used for dry ash mixing.

The process of desulfuration system is detailed in figure 3.4-3.

4.1.2 Dust pollution prevention and control

1. Dust setting measures for fuel storage and transportation system

Strictly control the loading capacity of coal handling trucks, control loading height less than

carriage height and control truck speed, cover the trucks with tarpaulin, follow the specified

route, forbid coal handling trucks to enter the downtown, in order to control the impact of dust

to the surrounding environment, try to lower the fall when loading and unloading coal so as to

reduce dust, apply semi-closed coal yard for coal storage inside plant, in order to eliminate dust;

coal belt conveyor gallery applies closed design; the transfer stations are provided with

waterpower cleaning facilities to eliminate coal dust and prevent the secondary pollution of

coal dust; the transfer stations, coal breakers, etc. with a large fall will be provided with cloth

bag dedusting device with the efficiency above 99% to eliminate coal dust pollution.

2. Measures for the prevention and control of limestone powder dust

Limestone powder will be transported by airtight trucks which can avoid dust to plant and be

delivered to limestone silo through pneumatic force. The top of limestone powder silo is

provided with cloth bag dirt catchers with dedusting efficiency above 99%. The grain size of

collected dust is larger than 10um. Therefore, the dust collection efficiency can be further

guaranteed and improved.

Boiler slag is large and it will not produce dust during the transportation.

3. Measures for the prevention and control of dust produced by ash silo and temporary slag

yard

An ash and slag separation system is applied. The coal powder ash is delivered to the ash silo

of Botong Building Materials by pneumatic force for comprehensive utilization; the airtight

pipeline system can product little dust despite of the fine grain size. Therefore, the impact to

the surrounding environment and sensitive objectives is little.

4.5 Analysis of energy conservation potential and improvement plan

4.5.1 Operating temperature of boiler

1. Existing problems

Boilers 1#~4

# and the three matching turbines (1

#~3

#) of Botong Thermoelectricity can meet the

requirements for safe operation under 5.29Mpa, 480℃ . However, they are operating under

5.29Mpa, 450℃ and can not achieve the best energy conservation effect.

2. Improvement plan

The improvement is made to boiler outlet through controlling the flow rate of water with

reduced temperature, increasing the heating area of some superheaters, etc. while not changing

coal type, water cooled wall and air preheater. The particular improvement plan is listed below.

(1) Remove all the outer shields from hearth outlet to economizer;

(2) Remove all the high and low temperature superheater pipelines;

(3) Apply 42*4, 15CrMoG pipe for high temperature section, ∮ 42*4, 20G pipe for

low temperature section; keep the number of pipes unchanged, the number of

header unchanged; do not change header for the original superheater and 2-stage

header for water with reduced temperature; adjust the position of header properly;

the number of beams at the top of boiler shall be increased according to the position

of header;

(4) Increase superheater for high and low temperature section in depth; increase 7%

respectively for low temperature section and high temperature section;

(5) Replace spring hanger for main steam pipeline, thicken the thermal insulation;

(6) Replace low temperature section pipeline, change the exhaust gas side of low

temperature section pipe to enamel while keeping the pipe diameter, quantity,

channel, tube plate unchanged.

4.5.2 Turboset operating performance and efficiency

1. Existing problems

The through-flow for turbosets 1#~3

# of Botong Thermoelectricity was designed according to

the level of 1950s to 1960s. As a result, the actual power performance of turboset falls far

behind the current advanced level. The major factors affecting through-flow are:

1. The blade shaped line is designed by the Soviet Union from 1950s to 1960s, which

features poor pneumatic heating power performance, large profile loss, low

efficiency and poor variable working condition.

2. The distribution of some speed ratios and enthalpy drop is irrational. As a result, the

heating power characteristic parameter deviates from the best value and the

efficiency is low.

3. The meridian plane of through-flow is not smooth. The gallery takes the shape of

step, which causes flow separation easily and increases the loss of through-flow.

4. The rotating blades do not match properly with the static blades. The incoming flow

attach angle of blade is large and it increases the loss of attach angle.

5. The top of rotating blades at some stages is not provided with shroud ring, thus

increasing leakage loss and streaming loss.

6. The application of biserial regulating stages with low efficiency affects the heating

power performance of unit.

The above factors lead to the intrinsic defects and deficiency of such unit, affect the economic

benefits and cause energy waste.

2. Improvement plan

In order to improve the performance and efficiency of unit, Botong Thermoelectricity will

improve the unit with the following implementation plan after argumentation in different

aspects.

The improvement to the through-flow will replace all the rotating blades and static blades. The

new clapboard and rotor will apply the following advanced technologies:

(1) New generation “loading” efficient static blade with the following features:

① The maximum pneumatic load of blade surface is placed to the rear of blade

grid passageway (traditionally, the maximum pneumatic load of blade surface is

placed to the front).

② Suction surface and pressure surface are composed of high order continuous

smooth curve.

③ The small circle radius of blade front edge is small with a better flow line shape.

The low loss feature of blade grid can be kept when incoming flow direction

(attack angle) changes in a large scope.

④ The small circle radius of blade trailing edge is small and such feature can

reduce trailing edge loss.

⑤ The maximum thickness of blade profile is large and it can strengthen blade

rigidity.

(2) Crankle coupling three-dimensional molding static blade grid.

(3) Regulating stage meridian plane shrinkage.

(4) Shunt static blade grid for big and small blades.

(5) The rotating blades all apply shroud ring whole circle coupling structure to reduce

vibration stress and strengthen blade.

(6) Increase the number of seal tooth to the excircle of rotating blade top to reduce steam

loss.

(7) All the clapboards are changed to welded clapboards. The high welding precision can

guarantee the pneumatic heating power performance of static blade grid, strength

clapboard rigidity and service life.

Another important principle of the improvement plan is to remain the parameters for safe

operation such as rotor weight, thrust behind axle, etc. unchanged to keep the features of axle

unchanged. Meanwhile, the rotating blade whole circle coupling will be applied to greatly

improve the safety of rotating blade. In addition, the rigidity of loaded new blade profile is far

better than that of the original blade. The rigidity of clapboard is also strengthened. Therefore,

the safety of improved unit is far better than that of previous one.

4.5.3 Frequency control speed regulation device for matching fan of boiler

1. Existing problems

Frequency control speed regulation device is not mounted to high pressure motors of nine fans

matching to boilers 4#~6

# of Botong Thermoelectricity.
