Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to desalination of seawater, in particular to a device and method for desalination of seawater by utilizing the cold energy of liquefied natural gas. Background technique [0002] The shortage of fresh water resources has become a global problem. Faced with this problem, people turn their attention to the abundant sea water resources. It is very necessary to study economically feasible sea water desalination technology. Desalination is the process of separating seawater into a stream of usable low-salinity seawater) or fresh water) and a stream of high-concentration brine. [0003] At present, seawater desalination methods can be divided into distillation, reverse osmosis, freezing, electrodialysis and hydrate methods, among which the first two methods have been widely used in seawater desalination practice. application. The distillation method realizes seawater desalination through the vaporization process driven by a heat sour...
