Sustainable Production Chapter: Production Management Plan for Industrial Resource Reuse

● Background

In the oil and natural gas industry, flue gas recirculation is a mature technology for achieving low nitrogen emissions from gas boilers. However, the problems encountered in practical applications such as combustion stability, boiler stability, decreased boiler efficiency, increased gas consumption, and increased steel consumption cannot be ignored. Reasonable control of flue gas recirculation rate can balance low nitrogen emissions and boiler thermal efficiency. However, due to the inevitable decrease in boiler thermal efficiency after the use of FGR, it is necessary to improve the boiler thermal efficiency, minimize the impact of FGR on boiler thermal efficiency, and better achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

To this end, we realize boiler combustion optimization and flue gas recirculation reburning control by integrating flowmeter, edge computing gateway and Internet of Things platform, so as to improve energy efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions, and realize the convenience of remote monitoring and data analysis.

Install a suitable flowmeter near the combustion outlet, such as a vortex flowmeter, to measure the flue gas flow and transmit the flowmeter data to the edge computing gateway.
2. edge computing Gateway
Set edge computing gateway, collect flowmeter data in real time, and conduct pre-processing. Edge computing can reduce the amount of data transmission and improve the transmission efficiency.
3. Internet of Things Platform Connection
The edge computing gateway is connected to the Internet of Things platform and transmits the flowmeter data to the cloud. The Internet of Things platform integrates data and integrates with the boiler combustion control system.
4. Boiler combustion optimization

5. Smoke circulation and reignition control
By using a flow meter to measure the recovery amount of flue gas and matching it with the combustion air flow rate through the Internet of Things platform, precise control of the circulating flow rate is achieved.
6. Real time monitoring and remote control
The Internet of Things platform provides a real-time monitoring interface, allowing engineers to remotely access, monitor boiler combustion and circulation reburning in real-time, and make adjustments.
7. Data analysis and report generation
The Internet of Things platform analyzes flow meter data, combustion parameters, and combustion efficiency, generates reports, displays the trend of combustion efficiency changes, and helps optimize decision-making.
8. Real time alerts and notifications

The IoT platform is equipped with a real-time alarm mechanism, which automatically sends out alarm notifications in case of abnormalities, ensuring the safety of system operation.
