Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water saving and emission reduction, and relates to a circulating water treatment combined device and process for realizing the water saving and emission reduction of the whole plant. Background Art

[0002] Coal chemical enterprises generally have the environmental protection requirement of "zero" discharge of wastewater. Enterprises often invest a large amount of money in building equipment such as wastewater hardening pretreatment, membrane concentration, and evaporation crystallization. The sewage discharged from the circulating water system, as one of the main incoming waters of the sewage treatment unit, together with other wastewater, enters the double-membrane system after pretreatment. The produced water is reused as reclaimed water and reused as the makeup water of the circulating water again. The RO concentrate is further treated by the membrane concentration unit, and the produced water is reused in the circulating water system, while the concentrate enters the crystallization evaporation unit. During production operation, the double-membrane treatment unit, the membrane concentration unit, and the evaporation crystallization unit all require a large amount of manpower and material resources to maintain the normal operation of the sewage treatment facilities; the excessive sewage treatment volume and the long sewage treatment process make the subsequent treatment units have a large production load. Especially when the water quality of the circulating water system is abnormal and the sewage discharge and replacement volume are increased, the production pressure of the sewage treatment system is further increased, resulting in increased equipment loss and maintenance costs, and ultimately causing the sewage treatment cost to remain high, increasing the operating burden of the enterprise.

[0003] According to the requirements of water use in the process and "zero" discharge of wastewater reuse in coal chemical enterprises, it is generally divided into industrial water treatment systems, demineralized water treatment systems, circulating cooling water treatment systems, wastewater treatment systems, reclaimed water treatment systems, and "zero" discharge treatment systems, etc. The whole-plant water use structure is shown in Figure 1 . From Figure 1 It can be seen that in order to achieve "zero" discharge of the whole-plant wastewater, the industrial water treatment system, the industrial wastewater treatment system, the reclaimed water treatment system, etc. are closely related. For example, if the discharge volume of the circulating cooling water system is large, the treatment pressure of the reclaimed water treatment system and the "zero" discharge system will be large; and for the circulating cooling water system that consumes the reclaimed water volume, if the discharge volume is large, the makeup water volume will be large. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a circulating water treatment combined device and process for realizing the water saving and emission reduction of the whole plant, so as to achieve the target requirement of water saving and emission reduction from the source of the circulating cooling water system, and to help achieve the requirement of approximate "zero" discharge of the whole-plant wastewater.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

The circulating water treatment tank is also connected with an external circulating water make-up pipeline;

[0008] Closed crystallization unit: It includes a second cooling tower, an ECH microcrystal unit that can provide ECH microcrystal agents, and a second unit to be cooled. The ECH microcrystal unit is arranged at the bottom of the second cooling tower. The cooling water that flows down from the upper part of the second cooling tower and is treated with ECH microcrystal agents by adding ECH microcrystal agents through the ECH microcrystal unit also returns to the upper part of the second cooling tower through a first branch. The lower part of the second cooling tower also leads out a second branch to connect to the second unit to be cooled and then returns to the top of the second cooling tower;

[0009] The circulating water treatment tank also leads out a drainage branch to connect to the second cooling tower.

[0010] Further, the electrochemical equipment is placed in the circulating water treatment tank or on a bypass connecting the circulating water treatment tank. When the electrochemical equipment is placed in the circulating water treatment tank, the circulating water treatment tank includes a treatment tank body with an open top.

[0016] The second technical solution of the present invention provides a circulating water treatment combined process for realizing the water saving and emission reduction of the whole plant, including the following steps:

[0017] (1) In the open cooling water treatment unit, the circulating water is cooled and cooled down by the first cooling tower and then sent into the circulating water treatment tank for electrochemical scale inhibition treatment. A part of the treated circulating water returns to the top of the first cooling tower after passing through the first unit to be cooled, and the other part is used as the make-up water for the closed crystallization unit. At the same time, the whole unit also replenishes the circulating water through the external circulating water make-up pipeline;

[0018] (2) In the closed crystallization unit, after the circulating water is cooled by the second cooling tower, a part of it is discharged from the side and sent to the second unit to be cooled for heat exchange, and then returns to the top of the second cooling tower. Another part is discharged into the ECH microcrystal unit, and after purification treatment, it returns to the second cooling tower again.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] (1) It can operate safely and stably under high concentration multiple conditions, greatly reducing the makeup water volume of the circulating water and the dosage of chemicals.

[0021] (2) It can achieve zero discharge of sewage, reducing the wastewater treatment and construction costs.

A second branch is led out from the lower part of the second cooling tower 21 and connected to the second unit to be cooled 23, and then returns to the top of the second cooling tower 21;

[0033] A drainage branch is also led out from the circulating water treatment tank 12 and connected to the ECH microcrystal unit 22.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 as shown. The circulating water treatment tank 12 includes a treatment tank body 121 with an opening at the top, and one or several open electrolytic cells 122 installed in the treatment tank body 121 and communicating with the water body in the treatment tank body 121.

More preferably, an electromagnetic valve 124 is provided at the bottom outlet of the scale removal tank 123. By using the open electrolytic cell 122, the hydrogen and chlorine generated by electrolysis will not be sealed in the tank body, thus avoiding system corrosion caused by the inability to discharge chlorine and hydrogen. At the same time, both the cathode and anode in the electrolytic cell can be made of titanium and coated with a noble metal coating to improve their service life. In addition, through pole inversion and frequency oscillation, the water scale automatically falls off to the scale removal tank 123 at the bottom of the open electrolytic cell 122 and is discharged through the scale removal tank 123, thereby effectively reducing the scaling ions such as calcium and magnesium in the circulating water and crystallizing out the salt substances in the circulating water, which can improve the concentration multiple of the open circulating cooling water system.

[0039] In addition, on the basis of the above combined device, the present invention also provides a combined process for circulating water treatment for realizing the water conservation and emission reduction of the whole plant. Similarly, refer to Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0040] (1) In the open cooling circulating water treatment unit 1, the circulating water is cooled by the first cooling tower 11 and then sent into the circulating water treatment pool 12 for electrochemical scale inhibition treatment. A part of the discharged sewage effluent returns to the top of the first cooling tower 11 after passing through the first cooled unit 13, and the other part serves as the makeup water for the closed crystallization unit 2. At the same time, the circulating water in the circulating water treatment pool 12 is supplemented through an external circulating water makeup pipeline;

The other part is discharged into the ECH microcrystal unit 22, and after purification treatment, it returns to the second cooling tower 21.

[0042] In the above embodiments, any one of them can be implemented alone, or any two or more combinations can be implemented.
