Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seawater, wastewater, and sewage treatment technology, and relates to a mechanical steam recompression control system and optimization method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, my country's energy structure is characterized by "abundant coal, scarce oil, and limited gas." Coal and water are the two major resource elements for developing new coal chemical industries. However, my country's coal and water resources are generally distributed in reverse order, with most coal bases located in the water-scarce northwest region. Coal-fired power plants consume large amounts of water, resulting in significant wastewater discharge. Direct discharge of this wastewater would cause irreversible environmental damage. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the wastewater from coal-fired power plants before discharge. However, the main component of coal-fired power plant wastewater is Cl... - , Na + Ca 2+ For wastewater that is difficult to treat, traditional treatment methods mainly include biological, physical, and physicochemical methods. Evaporation and concentration technology is also a commonly used method in wastewater treatment. Figure 1 This is a typical wastewater treatment process. Wastewater undergoes sedimentation and filtration to remove impurities, and then reverse osmosis and evaporation crystallization technologies to obtain fresh water and concentrated brine, thus realizing the resource utilization of wastewater.

[0003] Evaporation concentration technology can not only produce fresh water, but also recover salt after certain crystallization processes, thus possessing economic value. However, traditional evaporation concentration technology involves large equipment, complex systems, high steam consumption, and low conversion efficiency, failing to achieve energy-saving and economical effects. This hinders its application and development in wastewater treatment. Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) technology, on the other hand, uses a compressor to pressurize the secondary steam generated by evaporation, raising its temperature, and then re-enters the evaporator as a heat source to release energy, creating a continuous cycle. Its classic structural principle is as follows: Figure 2The energy of the secondary steam can be fully utilized in the normal operation of the whole system except for the steam input when starting the system and the power consumption of the compressor. Due to the re-compression technology of the MVR, a large amount of steam and condensate water is saved in the whole process, and the cost of waste water treatment is greatly saved. However, in order to realize more energy saving of the whole system, the process of the MVR technology needs to be considered and optimized, so that the energy efficiency and economic indicators of the system can be optimized. According to the steady-state mathematical simulation results of the system, under the premise that the evaporation capacity, the feed quantity and the feed temperature are constant, only reducing the system power consumption as the optimization target will cause the heat exchange area to be too large, and then cause the initial investment of the system to be high, the land occupation to be large and the like; only reducing the heat exchange area as the optimization target will cause the system power consumption to be too large, the operation cost of the system to be increased and the energy saving requirement to be not met. Therefore, the two operating parameters of the compression temperature rise and the evaporation temperature have a relatively optimal combination value, so that the total power consumption and the total heat exchange area of the system are relatively small.

[0004] On the basis of analyzing the MVR system process in the water treatment process, the application establishes a strict mathematical model of the MVR system, can calculate the evaporation temperature and the compression temperature rise suitable for the current working condition according to the input and output data of the real-time operation of the system, so that the total power consumption and the total heat exchange area of the system are the optimal combination value, and the application provides protection for the factory to select a suitable evaporator.

The data conversion module converts the collected analog quantities into corresponding digital quantities. The human-machine interface module sets the physical properties of the vapor compression re-evaporation system, the data acquisition cycle, and the required data acquisition parameters. The central processing module stores the mathematical model and thermophysical parameters of the vapor compression and re-evaporation system. It also receives and stores data from the data acquisition module and the processed data from the simulation and parameter decision modules, sending the results to the display module. The simulation module, based on the received data, calls the system program to calculate the optimal compression temperature rise and evaporation temperature, as well as the total power consumption and heat exchange area, and sends the results to the display and parameter decision modules. The parameter decision module compares and analyzes historical data to determine if the compression temperature rise and evaporation temperature are optimal, and sends the results to the display module. The display module shows the calculation results from the simulation and parameter decision modules.

[0042] The application sets the best operating condition by analyzing the working condition of the feed water and the system operation. The traditional design often sets the system parameters to reduce the system power consumption, but this will cause the heat exchange area to be too large, and further cause the system initial investment to be high, the land occupation to be large and other problems; and only considering the heat exchange area will make the system power consumption too large, the system operation cost is increased and does not meet the energy saving requirement. The application analyzes and calculates the input and output data of the real-time operation of the steam compression re-evaporation system parameters, involves the calculation of the property parameters under the modeling combined with mathematics, gives the evaporation temperature and the compression temperature rise suitable for the system, and guarantees the best economic operation cost of the system.

[0061] Step A3: The central processing module checks the obtained feed water parameters, and if they meet the requirements, it enters step A4, otherwise it enters step A2;

[0062] Step A4: The central processing module calls the simulation calculation module according to the internally stored vapor compression re-evaporation system model, the simulation calculation module calculates the optimization problem of the central processing module to obtain the optimal evaporation temperature and compression temperature rise under the current working condition, as well as the total power consumption and total heat exchange area under this condition, and sends them to the central processing module;

[0063] As Figure 4 shown, the vapor compression re-evaporation system model is established through the following sub-steps:

[0064] Sub-step B1.1: Assume the salt concentration in the steam is 0; assume energy losses from the evaporator, heat exchanger, pipes, and pump are negligible; assume the condensate is entirely liquid, i.e., the mass percentage concentration of the condensate steam is X. d Set the value to 0; establish a model for the vapor compression and re-evaporation system:

[0065] The system material balance equation is: M f =M d +M b M f X f =M b X b +M d X d ;

[0066] Among them, M f M represents the feed mass flow rate. d M represents the mass flow rate of condensed steam water. b X represents the mass flow rate of concentrated brine. f X represents the mass percentage concentration of the feed water. b X represents the mass percentage concentration of concentrated saline solution. d This indicates the mass percentage concentration of condensed steam.

[0067] In the preheater: Q HEX1 =M d C pd (T d -T do ) = M f1 C pf (T i1 -T i );Q HEX2 =M b C pb (T b -T bo ) = M f2 C pf (T i2 -T i );

[0068] Among them, Q HEX1 Q HEX2 C represents the heat generated in the two heat exchangers. pd C pf C pb M represents the specific heat capacity of condensate, feed water, and concentrated brine, respectively. f1 M represents the feed mass flow rate after passing through heat exchanger 1. f2 T represents the feed mass flow rate after passing through heat exchanger 2. i T represents the temperature of the feed water. bT represents the temperature of the concentrated brine at the evaporator outlet, which is the boiling point temperature of the feed water to the evaporator. d T represents the temperature of the condensate at the evaporator outlet. bo T represents the temperature of the concentrated brine produced after passing through heat exchanger 2. do T represents the temperature of the condensate after passing through heat exchanger 1. i1 This indicates the temperature (T) of the feed water after heat exchange in heat exchanger 1. i2 This indicates the temperature of the feed water after heat exchanger 2.

[0069] In the evaporator: Q out =M d λ vp +M f ·C pf (T b -T f );Q in =M d λ d +M d ·C pv (T s -t d );Q in =Q out ;

[0070] T vp =T b -BPE;BPE=f·Δ0′; Δ0′=69.8×C b 3 -8.15×C b 2 +5.19×C b ;

[0071] T vp =T v ; ΔT = T d -T b Q e =U e ·A e ·LTMD;

[0072]

[0073] Among them, Q out Q in T represents the heat generated inside and outside the tubes of the evaporator, respectively. f Cp represents the temperature of the feed water after preheating through two heat exchangers. v λ represents the specific heat capacity of the steam above the demister; vp , λ dH s denotes the latent heat of the steam below the demister and the latent heat of the steam inside the tube, T s denotes the temperature of the superheated steam, T vp denotes the temperature below the demister, BPE denotes the boiling point elevation, and f denotes the correction factor, T v denotes the temperature above the demister, Q e denotes the heat transfer of the evaporator, U e denotes the total heat transfer coefficient; Δ0' denotes the boiling point elevation of the solution at normal pressure, r denotes the latent heat of vaporization of water at the specified pressure, and C b denotes the concentration of brine, and ΔT denotes the difference between the condensing steam temperature at the outlet of the evaporator and the boiling point temperature of the feed water.

[0074] In the compressor:

[0075] H s = 2499.15 + 1.955 x T s - 1.927 x 10 -3 - 1.927 x 10 s 2 ; W fre = (H s - H v ) x 0.000277 x ε / η com .

[0076] where H v denotes the specific enthalpy of the saturated steam, H s denotes the specific enthalpy of the superheated steam, ε denotes the compression ratio, η com denotes the efficiency of the compressor, and W fre denotes the power of the variable frequency compressor.

[0077] Sub-step B1.2: Establish an optimization objective function for the steam compression re-evaporation system, with the minimum total heat exchange area of the system and the minimum total power consumption of the system as the optimization objectives, and with the evaporation temperature T e and the compression temperature rise ΔT bs as the optimization variables for optimization control:

[0078] The optimization model expression is:

[0079] where x is the optimization variable, that is, the evaporation temperature and the compression temperature rise, g1(x) is the first objective function, g2(x) is the second objective function, S eva+pre denotes the total heat exchange area of the evaporator and the heat exchanger, W com denotes the total power consumption of the compressor, and the constraint condition is the system material balance equation and the energy balance equation in the evaporator in sub-step B1.1, and the superscripts L and U denote the upper and lower limits of the variable.

[0080] Sub-step B2.1: Solve the model of sub-step B1.2 using genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal scheme. For a solution, if it meets the constraint condition, it is called a feasible solution, and if it does not meet the constraint condition, it is called an infeasible solution. For a feasible solution, the dominance relationship in the solution set of the steam compression re-evaporation system model is defined according to the degree of approaching the target. If feasible solution a is superior to or not worse than feasible solution b in terms of system energy consumption and heat exchange area target, then solution a dominates solution b. In the genetic algorithm, all solutions in the population that are not dominated by any other solution constitute the non-dominated solution, which is called the non-dominated solution set.

[0081] As shown in Figure 5 , the specific solving steps are as follows:

[0082] Sub-step C1: Substitute the initial value of the system model, set the model information and algorithm parameters.

[0083] Sub-step C2: Randomly generate an initial population, and record the iteration number gen = 1.

[0084] Sub-step C3: Solve the system total energy consumption target function value and heat exchange area target function value corresponding to each individual in the population.

[0085] Sub-step C4: Perform fast non-dominated sorting and crowding calculation on the initial population.

[0086] Sub-step C5: Determine whether the first generation of sub-population has been generated. If it has been generated, set the evolution generation number gen = 2, otherwise, perform non-dominated sorting and selection, Gaussian crossover and mutation on the initial population to generate the first generation of sub-population and set the evolution generation number gen = 2.

[0087] Sub-step C6: Combine the parent generation and the child generation.

[0088] Sub-step C7: Determine whether a new parent population has been generated. If not, calculate the target function of the individuals in the new population and perform fast non-dominated sorting, crowding calculation, elite strategy and other operations to generate a new parent population; otherwise, go to sub-step C8.

[0089] Sub-step C8: Perform selection, crossover and mutation operations on the generated parent population to generate a child population.

[0090] Sub-step C9: Determine whether the maximum number of iterations has been reached. If not, set the evolution generation number gen = gen + 1 and return to sub-step C6; otherwise, the algorithm ends and outputs the optimal control variables T e and ΔT bs under the condition of maximum fitness, and calculates the total heat exchange area S eva+pre and the total power consumption W com of the system under the corresponding condition.

[0091] Step A5: the parameter decision module compares the data G1 obtained in this cycle, including the evaporation temperature, the compression temperature rise, the total power consumption of the system and the total heat exchange area, with the data G (m=1, 2, …, n, n is the current cycle number) obtained in previous cycles, analyzes and judges whether the current data is the optimal solution under the working condition, and then transmits the optimal result data after comparison to the central processing module, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the system. m

[0092] Step A6: the central processing module transmits the received data to the display module, and the display module displays the current time t1, the evaporation temperature T e , the compression temperature rise ΔT bs , the total power consumption W com of the system and the total heat exchange area S eva+pre ; an operator or an engineer sets the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger and the parameter values of the compression temperature rise and the evaporation temperature of the system according to the values of the display module.

[0093] The current time is recorded as t2, if t2-t1<t c , the waiting continues; otherwise, step A2 is turned to start a new round of data acquisition. t c The setting of the parameters will affect the time range of data acquisition. If in a stable environment of the feed, the influence of t c parameters on the result is not large; if in the case of unstable feed, different values of t c will obtain the optimal solution in the current time period.

[0094] The optimization results under the current working condition are shown in the following table:

[0095]

[0096] * Change rate = (after optimization-before optimization) / before optimization × 100%

[0097] From the data in the table, it can be seen that the evaporation temperature and the compression temperature rise after optimization are higher than the original set values selected according to experience, thereby changing the inlet and outlet steam pressure, reducing the compression ratio of the compressor, and reducing the energy consumption of the system. It can be seen that the mechanical vapor recompression control system and the optimization method proposed in the application have actual energy-saving effect.

For those skilled in the art to which the application belongs, certain simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and all of them should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the application.​
