Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of zero discharge of high-salt wastewater, and relates to a secondary steam condensation coupled waste heat utilization system at the end of a high-salt wastewater multi-effect evaporation system. Background Art
[0002] The multi-effect evaporation system is a relatively common technology in the zero-discharge treatment process of high-salt wastewater. This technology connects multiple evaporators in series, and the secondary steam of the previous evaporator is used as the heating steam for the next evaporator. The heating chamber of the next evaporator is the condenser of the previous evaporator, thereby achieving the purpose of saving raw steam and energy. However, the last-effect secondary steam of the multi-effect evaporation system still contains a large amount of heat. Direct condensation, on the one hand, brings about a huge waste of the heat of the secondary steam itself. On the other hand, the condensation process also consumes a large amount of cooling water and increases the power consumption of the centrifugal pump motor. Since the direct use of the last-effect secondary steam to preheat high-salt and high-hardness wastewater can easily lead to scaling of the heat exchanger, how to reasonably utilize the waste heat of the last-effect secondary steam is of great significance to reducing the energy consumption of multi-effect evaporation and concentration of high-salt wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a secondary steam condensation coupled waste heat utilization system at the end of a high-salt wastewater multi-effect evaporation system. The system can realize secondary steam condensation and use its heat to pre-concentrate high-salt wastewater, thereby reducing the energy consumption of multi-effect evaporation and concentration of high-salt wastewater.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the high-salt wastewater multi-effect evaporation system of the present invention comprises a final-effect secondary steam condensation coupled waste heat utilization system comprising an air-cooled condenser, an air humidification spray tower and a high-salt wastewater pipeline;
[0005] The secondary steam outlet of the last-effect flash tank in the high-salt wastewater multi-effect evaporation system is connected to the steam inlet of the finned condenser tube in the air-cooled condenser, and the air outlet of the air-cooled condenser is connected to the inlet on the bottom side of the air humidification spray tower;
[0006] An air outlet is provided at the top of the air humidification spray tower, and a spray device and a packing layer are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the air humidification spray tower. The wastewater discharge port at the bottom of the air humidification spray tower is connected to the top inlet of the flash tank in the high-salt wastewater multi-effect evaporation system, and the high-salt wastewater pipeline is connected to the spray device.
[0007] The secondary steam outlet of the last-effect flash tank in the high-salinity wastewater multi-effect evaporation system is connected to the steam inlet of the finned condenser in the air-cooled condenser through a pipeline.
[0008] It also includes a water-cooled condenser, and the steam outlet of the finned condenser tube in the air-cooled condenser is connected to the steam inlet of the water-cooled condenser.
[0009] The air outlet of the air-cooled condenser is connected with the air inlet of the bottom side of the air humidification spray tower through a communication air duct.
[0010] A fan is arranged at the air outlet of the top of the air-cooled condenser.
[0011] A demister is arranged at the air outlet of the top of the air humidification spray tower.
[0012] In operation, cold air enters the air-cooled condenser from the air inlet of the bottom of the air-cooled condenser, and sweeps over the surface of the finned condensing tube, in the process, the secondary steam is condensed in the finned condensing tube, and the cold air is heated to form dry unsaturated air.
[0013] In operation, the unsaturated air enters the air humidification spray tower, and is in countercurrent contact with the high-salinity wastewater at the filler layer for heat and mass transfer, so that the moisture in the high-salinity wastewater evaporates into the air and is carried away, thereby pre-concentrating the high-salinity wastewater.
[0014] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In the operation of the high-salinity wastewater multi-effect evaporation system terminal secondary steam condensation coupled waste heat utilization system, the secondary steam of the last effect is used to indirectly heat air to become dry unsaturated air, and the dry unsaturated air is used to directly contact and exchange heat with the high-salinity wastewater, so that the high-salinity wastewater is pre-concentrated, thereby effectively utilizing the low-grade waste heat of the secondary steam, directly reducing the energy consumption and operating cost of the subsequent evaporation and concentration system; at the same time, after pre-condensation by the air-cooled condenser, the cooling water required for condensation of the secondary steam of the last effect and the power of the motor of the corresponding pump are greatly reduced, having an energy-saving effect.

Under the suction action of the fan 7, the cold air enters the air-cooled condenser 6 from the air inlet at the bottom of the air-cooled condenser 6 and passes over the surface of the finned condenser tube 5. In this process, the secondary steam condenses in the finned condenser tube 5, and the cold air is heated to form dry unsaturated air; the remaining uncooled secondary steam enters the water-cooled condenser 8 and is further condensed. The unsaturated air heated by the secondary steam enters the air humidification spray tower 1 and contacts the high-salt wastewater in countercurrent at the packing layer 4 for heat and mass transfer, so that the moisture in the high-salt wastewater evaporates into the air and is carried away, thereby pre-concentrating the wastewater.
