The invention discloses a device and a method for desalting
seawater by using cold energy of
liquefied natural gas. The method promotes the
seawater to gasify and
solid in a crystallizer by using the balance
pressure difference of vapor between a low temperature and
room temperature so that the aim of desalting the
seawater by using the cold energy of the
liquefied natural gas is fulfilled. The device mainly comprises a water pump, a filter, a degassing
tower, a
vaporizer, the crystallizer and the
vacuum pump. The device and the method are mainly characterized in that: the cold
energy recovery of the
liquefied natural gas and the
seawater desalination are combined and the seawater is gasified at a temperature a little lower than the
room temperature by using the low-temperature cold energy of the liquefied
natural gas so as to realize the
seawater desalination. The device and the method overcome the defects of the difficult ice
crystal washing and separation and poor
desalination effect and the like of the traditional refrigerated
seawater desalination method and have the advantages that: the cold energy of the
natural gas is rationally utilized, the cost is low, the
pollution is little, the
raw water is simply preprocessed; and the concentration range is wide, the
corrosion on equipment is less, the scale is little, no secondary
coolant is required, the
fresh water product can meet the state drinking standards by simple treatment and the like.
