Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ammonia-containing wastewater technology, specifically to an ammonia stripping tower ammonia-containing water steam recovery device. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia nitrogen wastewater has a wide range of sources, with large quantities generated from coal chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgical, and landfill industries. This wastewater causes severe pollution and numerous environmental problems. A relatively economical ammonia removal technology for ammonia nitrogen wastewater is the stripping distillation method. The basic principle of stripping distillation is to directly or indirectly introduce high-temperature steam into the ammonia stripping tower. Ammonia nitrogen is recovered from the top of the tower as ammonia-containing water vapor, which mainly consists of ammonia gas, water vapor, and a small amount of non-condensable air.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219009958U (A Distillation Ammonia Removal System) proposes a two-stage condensation method for recovering ammonia-containing water vapor from a stripping tower. It uses a condenser to directly condense the ammonia-containing vapor, and the non-condensable tail gas is sent to a waste gas treatment system. The specific steps of condensation-absorption involve the ammonia-containing vapor passing through a two-stage condenser and an ammonia tail gas treatment device. This patent includes a top reflux tank and an ammonia water storage tank. The main disadvantages are: 1. The heat load released from the condensation of ammonia-containing vapor and the dissolution of ammonia is too high to be economically efficient when using chilled water for cooling. When using circulating cooling water, it is greatly affected by the local wet-bulb temperature. In southern regions with higher wet-bulb temperatures, this can easily lead to low ammonia absorption efficiency and secondary pollution; 2. The heat of the ammonia-containing water vapor is carried away by the circulating water, resulting in a significant waste of energy; 3. It is not suitable for treating high-concentration ammonia.
[0004] The ammonia recovery method proposed in Chinese patent CN104926009A (An Ammonia Nitrogen Wastewater Treatment System) involves condensation followed by absorption. First, a condenser directly cools the ammonia-containing vapor, then an absorption tower with an external cooler absorbs the ammonia, producing finished ammonia water from the absorption tower. Its main disadvantages are: 1. The absorption tower produces high-concentration ammonia water, resulting in high ammonia partial pressure and potential ammonia pollution; 2. The heat from the ammonia-containing vapor is carried away by circulating water, wasting a large amount of energy; 3. It is not suitable for treating high-concentration ammonia.
[0005] Both of the above-mentioned methods for recovering ammonia-containing steam in ammonia stripping towers have disadvantages such as high energy consumption, energy waste, easy generation of ammonia pollution, low operational flexibility, and inability to handle high-concentration ammonia.

[0026] 1.

[0046] The deep cooler 4 includes a fifth inlet, a fifth outlet, a sixth inlet, a sixth outlet and a non-condensable gas outlet 402. The fifth inlet is connected to the third outlet through the second pipe 10. The fifth outlet serves as an ammonia water outlet 401.

[0049] More preferably, the waste heat recovery medium is the effluent from the ammonia stripping tower or saturated pure water.
[0050] The waste heat recovery medium recovers most of the heat from the ammonia-containing steam by exchanging heat with the ammonia stripping tower. The waste heat recovery medium can be the effluent from the ammonia stripping tower, saturated pure water, etc. The waste heat recovered by the waste heat recovery medium flows out of the system as secondary steam through a flash evaporator. Its quality can be improved by a compression or absorption heat pump for use in this system or other systems. The waste heat recovery rate is 40%-90% (relative to the ammonia-containing steam).

[0052] The order in which the booster module 202 and the filter module 201 are arranged is as follows: One arrangement is to place the filter module 201 between the booster module 202 and the atomizing nozzle 203, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown;
[0053] Another method involves placing a booster module 202 between the filter module 201 and the atomizing nozzle 203.

[0059] More preferably, the ratio of the diameter of the upper tower section to the diameter of the lower tower section is 1:1.1-1:2; more preferably, it is 1:1.4.
[0060] More preferably, the exhaust gas capture device 5 uses a circulating spray method to absorb ammonia in the non-condensable gas. Specifically, the exhaust gas capture device 5 is equipped with a spray pump 6 and a cooling heat exchanger 7 on its exterior. The spray pump 6 and the cooling heat exchanger 7 are respectively connected to the upper and lower parts of the lower section tower. The spray pump 6, the cooling heat exchanger 7, and the lower section tower are connected by corresponding pipes to form a spray circulation, and a cold insulation layer is installed outside the corresponding pipes.
[0061] A fourth pipe 12 is also connected to the pipe between the spray pump 6 and the cooling heat exchanger 7. The other end of the fourth pipe 12 is connected to the pure water atomizing device 2.
[0062] The upper section of the tower uses fresh pure water as the absorption medium, while the lower section uses the upper section pure water and the cooled bottom liquid as the absorption medium. When the wet-bulb temperature of the external cooling heat exchanger 7 is less than 15°C, the deep cooler 4 uses ordinary circulating cooling water as the cooling medium. When the wet-bulb temperature is greater than 15°C, the deep cooler 4 uses chilled water as the cooling medium. The pipes connected to the exhaust gas trap 5 are equipped with a cold insulation layer to ensure that the operating temperature is <20°C and the ammonia leakage is less than 0.6 kg / h.
[0063] This ammonia stripping tower ammonia-containing steam recovery unit can be flexibly configured according to the composition of the ammonia-containing steam and the required concentration of recovered ammonia water; including but not limited to the following combinations:

This combination is suitable for recovering waste heat with a heat content of ≥30% and ammonia concentration >25%, and recovering ammonia water with a heat content of ≤18%.
[0066] The third combination: a combination of pure water atomizer 2, primary cooler 3, and exhaust gas capture device 5; this combination is suitable for water with no waste heat recovery, ammonia mass concentration >25%, and ammonia recovery ≤18%;

[0068] The fifth combination is a combined equipment consisting of a waste heat recovery unit 1, a primary cooler 3, and a tail gas capture unit 5. This combined equipment is suitable for recovering waste heat with a heat content of ≥30%, ammonia mass concentration ≤25%, and ammonia water with a heat content of ≤18%.
[0069] The sixth combination is a combination of primary cooler 3, deep cooler 4, and exhaust gas capture device 5. This combination is suitable for applications where waste heat is not recovered, ammonia concentration is ≤25%, and ammonia water with a concentration >18% is recovered.
[0070] The circulating cooling water is prepared by either an open or closed cooling tower, with an initial water temperature of 10℃–35℃ and a temperature difference of 5℃–20℃. The chilled water is prepared by a heat pump refrigeration unit, with an initial water temperature of -20℃–20℃ and a temperature difference of 3℃–20℃. High-purity, high-concentration ammonia water can be extracted from the deep cooler 4 in this device. The purity of the ammonia water meets the industrial ammonia water standard HG / T 5353-2018, with a mass concentration of 5%–50%.
[0071] Taking the first combination as an example, the process flow of this ammonia stripping tower ammonia steam recovery device is as follows: After being collected by ammonia steam pipeline 8, the ammonia steam first enters the waste heat recovery unit 1. The waste heat recovery unit 1 recovers the heat of the ammonia steam through the waste heat recovery medium. The heat recovered by the waste heat recovery medium can be output and reused in the stripping ammonia removal tower or other hot spots in the plant area. The ammonia steam enters the primary cooler 3 after being cooled. At the same time, pure water atomization equipment 2 passes through the first pipeline 9 between the waste heat recovery unit 1 and the primary cooler 3. Pure water is sprayed to form an ammonia gas-liquid mixture, which then enters the primary cooler 3. After being cooled by the primary cooler 3, it enters the deep cooler 4. After being cooled by the deep cooler 4, ammonia water is extracted. Non-condensable gas and a small amount of ammonia gas enter the tail gas capture device 5. The tail gas capture device 5 absorbs the ammonia gas through a circulating spray, and the non-condensable gas that meets the standards is finally discharged. At the same time, the absorbed liquid of the tail gas capture device 5 can be transported to the pure water atomization device 2 through the fourth pipeline 12 to spray the ammonia water vapor in the first pipeline 9.

This also reduces ammonia escape during the discharge of non-condensable gases and alleviates the processing load on the tail gas capture device 5. The waste heat recovery unit 1 is suitable for situations with high waste heat in the ammonia vapor. It can recover most of the heat from the ammonia vapor and then effectively utilize it, avoiding energy waste.
