Mixed-combustion furnace position I. Tasks of this position: Make full use of the gas generated during gas production, gas production slag and coal powder, as well as hydrogen extraction exhaust gas and residual fuels available in the plant (such as white coal ash and coal gangue) to be burned in combination within the mixed-combustion furnace. The heat released from this combustion is used to heat the qualified boiler water, turning it into steam; this steam is then superheated through a superheater to become qualified superheated steam, thereby meeting the steam requirements of all processes in the plant. The ultimate goal is to achieve safe, economic, and stable production. II. Process parameters for this position
1. Pressure: Boiler pressure ≤ 3.82 Mpa; drum pressure: 1.0–1.5 Mpa; air chamber pressure: 4–7 Kpa; pressure in the mixed-fuel furnace: –0.01 to –1 Kpa.
2. Temperature: Temperature of the fuel layer in the mixed-fuel furnace: 900–1000°C; temperature of the deaerator: 102–105°C; temperature of the flue gas at the inlet of the steam superheater: 900–980°C; temperature of the flue gas at the outlet of the air preheater: ≤170°C; temperature of the steam in the steam superheater: ≤450°C; temperature of the steam at the outlet of the desuperheater: ≤220°C.
3. Liquid level: Liquid level in the boiler drum: 50–150 mm; liquid level in the deaeration tank: 600–1200 mm.
4. Composition of exhaust gases: CO2: 14–16%; CO: ≤0.1%; O2: ≤10%.

III. Operating procedures for this position
1. Preparation:
1) Conduct a thorough inspection of the mixed-fuel furnace. If no abnormalities are found, use water seals to seal the recovery gas and reverse exhaust gas systems in order to prevent backflow of gas. 2) Set the boiler water level control slightly below the normal level, keeping the water level at 1/2. 3) Load the furnace with feed material, adjust the thickness of the material layer, and prepare wood and charcoal. 4) Open the steam valve of the zero furnace as well as the vent valve of the superheating section; after controlling the water level in the dust removal tower, start the induced draft fan to adjust the amount of air drawn in. 2. Driving: 1) Once the system has been replaced, place wood in the furnace and light it using an ignition source. 2) Burn an appropriate amount of wood first, then add enough charcoal; once the charcoal has burned out, close the stove door to get ready to start cooking. 3) First, start the blower and adjust its air supply volume according to the temperature of the material layer; then start the coal feeder. Once the temperature of the material layer no longer changes significantly, use the coal feeding rate to regulate its temperature. 4) Monitor the temperature in the middle of the furnace; once it reaches above 1000°C, start the secondary fan to regulate the temperature there. 5) After starting the boiler, closely monitor the boiler water level, the superheater steam temperature, as well as the temperature and pressure of the desuperheater. 6) Once the temperature of the mixed combustion charge layer and the temperatures in each section are normal, drain the water from the water seal for the recovered gas. Then introduce the gas generated through recovery and the air supply, while also setting the liquid level of the water seal for the hydrogen extraction reverse exhaust at an appropriate level before allowing reverse exhaust to occur. 7) Once combustion is operating normally at the boiling state, close the superheater zero-pressure steam valve and the superheating section vent valve. Adjust the parameters according to the standard process specifications: the superheater steam temperature should be ≤450°C, the steam temperature at the exit of the desuperheater should be ≤240°C, and the steam pressure should be ≤1.6 MPa. Additionally, adjust the temperatures, pressures, and liquid levels at all other sections and points to ensure that qualified superheated steam is produced. 3. Parking: 1) Before parking, close the relief valve and air distribution first; then inform the gas production team and hydrogen extraction team to stop supplying blow air and reverse exhaust air. Finally, seal it with a water seal to prevent backflow of gas. 2) Stop the coal feeder, blower, and secondary fan. 3) After shutting down the boiler, pay attention to the drum liquid level and steam pressure. 4) Stop the induced draft fan when the furnace temperature drops to around 300°C. IV. Key points for normal operation of this position: 1. Strictly control the process parameters; generally, the bed temperature should be maintained between 900°C and 1000°C. 2. Upon taking over, check the furnace condition and flush the level gauge promptly. 3. Ensure that the pressure in the furnace does not exceed 3.82 MPa. 4. When feeding material into the furnace, it should be distributed evenly through both pipes; do not rush to avoid air leakage. 5. Keep track of fuel conditions, as well as the situations related to blowing air and reverse gas release at all times, adjust the coal supply accordingly, and control the fluctuations in furnace temperature. 6. Maintain a negative pressure in the furnace chamber of -0.01 to -1 KPa. V. Safety operating procedures for this position 1. Keep the control room clean, with the instrument panels free of dust. 2.

Once adjustment is complete, closely monitor the fluctuations in the motor and current levels, ensuring that the motor current remains within the normal range. 5. In the event of any abnormality, activate the backup pump immediately, then shut down the pump to identify the cause and carry out repairs. VII. Common accidents in this position and their handling 1. Over-temperature Handling methods: 1) Reduce the temperature of the flue gas in each section by increasing the air supply volume. 2) Reduce the superheater temperature by increasing the water supply rate. 3) Reduce the superheater temperature by venting. 4) Lower the temperature of the deaeration tank by closing the continuous blowdown valve and the steam valve. 2. Overpressure – Handling method: Reduce the load, stop supplying blowing gas, and open the vent valve. 3. Water hammer: Treatment methods: Release air through the air release valve and increase the flow rate of the feed water. 4. Handling of boiler fire out: First, shut off the vent gas and air supply; inform the gas production team to stop supplying blowing air; and seal the water seal properly. To prevent backflow of air, stop the coal feeder, primary fan, secondary fan, and exhaust fan, and maintain the boiler water level within the normal range. Boiling furnace I.
