Using numerical methods, studies have been carried out to determine the effect of the introduction of the technology of two-stage combustion of high-ash Karaganda coal on the main characteristics of heat and mass transfer processes in the furnace of the BKZ-75 boiler at Shakhtinskaya TPP (Kazakhstan). Various regimes of supplying additional air into the combustion space, the volume of which varied from 0% (traditional basic version) to 30% of the total volume of air required for fuel combustion, have been investigated using 3D computer modeling methods. The performed computational experiments made it possible to obtain the distributions of the total velocity vector, temperature fields, concentration fields of carbon monoxide CO and nitrogen dioxide NO2 over the entire volume of the furnace and at the outlet from it. The introduction of the two-stage combustion technology made it possible to optimize the combustion of high-ash coal, since in this case there is an increase in the temperature in the torch core and a decrease in it at the outlet from the furnace, which has a significant effect on the chemical processes of the formation of combustion products. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that an increase in the percentage of air supplied through additional injectors to 18% leads to a decrease in the concentrations of carbon monoxide CO by about 36%, and nitrogen dioxide NO2 by 25% compared to the base case. A further increase in the volume of additional air leads to a deterioration in these indicators. The results obtained will make it possible to optimize the combustion of low-grade fuel in the furnace of the BKZ-75 boiler, increase the efficiency of fuel burnout, reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and introduce a two-stage combustion technology at other coal-fired TPPs.
