According to the regulations here, a buffer tank should be installed before the exhaust gases enter the incinerator in order to control their concentration and flow rate. How is this done? What size should the buffer tank be? The exhaust gas flow rate is in the tens of thousands of cubic meters per hour.
The purpose of installing a buffer tank is to maintain a stable flow rate and concentration of exhaust gases entering the incinerator, thereby preventing any impact on the combustion efficiency and treatment performance of the incinerator. The size of the buffer tank depends on the flow rate of the exhaust gas, the expected peak flow velocity, the allowable range of pressure changes, and the system design requirements. The volume of the buffer tank should be large enough to accommodate the additional flow generated by fluctuations in exhaust gas, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the incinerator. To calculate the volume of a buffer tank, specific process parameters are required, such as the maximum and minimum flow rates of the exhaust gas, the normal operating flow rate, and the allowable range of pressure changes. This usually requires a comprehensive decision based on relevant engineering calculations and empirical estimates. If the exhaust gas flow rate is high, it may be necessary to design multiple buffer tanks in parallel or in series to meet the requirements. The specific design should be determined by combining the recommendations of the incinerator manufacturer with relevant environmental protection standards. Typically, such engineering design requires environmental engineering professionals or consulting firms to carry it out based on the actual conditions. .
In my humble opinion, gas buffer tanks don’t provide much buffering effect, as they are not in a \"vacuum\" state and do not have the ability to store exhaust gases; exhaust gases can only be stored if pressure is applied, causing them to be compressed. If it is a liquid, it can have a certain storage capacity; thus, the pressure can be adjusted to maintain a stable flow rate
