Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of flue gas wet desulfurization wastewater treatment in thermal power plants, and relates to a desulfurization wastewater clarification process based on silicon carbide membrane ultrafiltration technology in thermal power plants. BACKGROUND

[0002] China is a country with coal as the main energy source, and coal-fired power generation is one of the most important ways of coal utilization in China. Among the many air pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants, SO2 is more harmful to the environment and is the main pollutant to be controlled. At present, the existing flue gas desulfurization technologies include wet desulfurization and dry desulfurization, etc. Among them, the wet desulfurization technology is the most widely used. However, during the operation of the wet flue gas desulfurization, desulfurization wastewater containing a large amount of gypsum slurry and salt, as well as a small amount of carbon black, tar, mercury, lead, nickel, arsenic and chromium and other heavy metal ions will be generated, and direct discharge will cause great harm to the environment.

[0003] With the increasing prominence of environmental problems and the increasingly stringent emission standards, the deep treatment and reuse of desulfurization wastewater in thermal power plants will be paid more and more attention. Desulfurization wastewater should be treated by lime treatment, coagulation, clarification, neutralization and other processes before being reused. The use of flue gas evaporation drying or evaporation crystallization and other treatment processes is encouraged to achieve non-discharge of desulfurization wastewater. However, the use of conventional treatment processes such as flocculation sedimentation and clarification separation has high reagent cost, long process, large equipment area, relies on manpower and low automation level. The existing evaporation crystallization and other thermal processes for concentrating and solidifying dissolved salts have complex systems, mainly rely on boiler tail heat flue gas evaporation and rely on boiler flue gas waste heat, have high energy consumption, large maintenance amount and low process reliability. The reason is that the desulfurization wastewater mainly contains a large amount of supersaturated sulfite, sulfate, suspended solids and trace heavy metals. These ions are mixed together, have high suspended solids, high scaling tendency, mixed solution of multiple ions and large variation of components, and must be subjected to appropriate pretreatment and clarification before being subjected to further treatment or recycling. Therefore, how to solve the desulfurization wastewater clarification process has become a problem to be solved for the comprehensive utilization of desulfurization wastewater.

[0004] Thermal power is a large user of water and drainage, and water use accounts for 20% of the total industrial water use. From the perspectives of economic operation and environmental protection, it is of great significance to save water for power generation, improve the reuse rate of circulating water and realize zero discharge of wastewater in thermal power plants. Traditional wastewater treatment in power plants can easily implement various levels of cascade application, and various wastewaters can be solved by traditional mature processes. However, the most concentrated, complex and difficult to treat wastewater is desulfurization wastewater, and its treatment has become a key factor restricting the zero discharge of wastewater in thermal power plants. The demand for zero discharge of desulfurization wastewater in thermal power enterprises is becoming more and more urgent, and it will become an inevitable trend in the future.

[0005] Most of the power plant desulfurization wastewater treatment uses the traditional triple box chemical treatment process, which is highly dependent on chemical agents, has high construction, operation and maintenance costs, and occupies a large area. In this context, in order to solve the problems of high suspended solids in desulfurization wastewater and difficult to precipitate, it is necessary to develop a physical filtration device to abandon the chemical agent treatment process, reduce the construction and operation cost and the load of subsequent wastewater treatment equipment, and realize the stable operation of desulfurization wastewater.

[0011] Step 4, the filtrate through the membrane in step 3 is sent to the clear liquid collection tank, and the separated sludge is sent to the sludge pool,

[0012] The above process further comprises a backflushing step, wherein the backflushing step is:

[0013] The pressure difference between the upstream pipe pressure value P1 and the downstream pipe pressure value P2 of the membrane into which the filtrate of step 2 or step 3 enters is ΔP%=(P1-P2) / P1*100%,

[0014] When the value of ΔP% is 30-40%, the clear liquid backflushing pump is opened, and the backflushing step is operated;

[0015] When the value of ΔP% is 25% or less, the clear liquid backflushing pump is closed, and the backflushing step is stopped;

[0016] The backflushing step is carried out in the first or second silicon carbide filter membrane filter.

[0017] In some preferred embodiments, when the backflushing step is operated, the silicon carbide filter membrane filter stops working.

[0018] In some preferred embodiments, the silicon carbide filter membrane filter starts working when the backwashing step stops.

[0065] Working mode of backflushing process in clarification process of fgd wastewater of thermal power plant

[0066] The present application is based on the clarification process of the desulfurization wastewater of the thermal power plant using the silicon carbide membrane ultrafiltration technology. Another improvement of the prior art is the setting of the clear liquid backwash process. In the prior art, the backwash process is also used in the ultrafiltration system, but there are some deficiencies, such as non-automation, unclear starting point and ending point of the backwash process, etc.

[0067] In the process of purifying water quality, the continuously running clarification process makes the filter layer continuously intercept the pollutants in the water. As the amount of intercepted pollutants increases, the pollutants accumulated on the system membrane of the silicon carbide membrane group will increase, causing the gap to be blocked, and then the filtered water volume decreases, and the filtration efficiency and effect become poor.

[0068] In the clarification process of the desulfurization wastewater of the thermal power plant using the silicon carbide membrane ultrafiltration technology, the pressure difference before and after the water of the silicon carbide membrane in the ultrafiltration system is monitored, and then the backwash process is accurately controlled.

[0069] The specific principle is that after the silicon carbide membrane works for a long time, the thickness of the deposited filter material accumulated on the membrane increases. The increase of the deposit will cause the increase of the pressure difference between the two ends of the membrane. Because the more serious the membrane is blocked, the more pressure the fluid needs to accumulate when passing through the membrane. Therefore, in order to prevent the pressure difference between the two ends of the membrane from being too large and causing damage to the filter membrane, the present application designs to timely dredge the deposit on the membrane to reduce the accumulated pressure difference.

[0070] The present application sets pressure gauges between the upstream pipe and the downstream pipe of the fluid entering the membrane, and monitors the values of the two pressure gauges. The difference between the values of the two pressure gauges is the pressure difference of the fluid entering and exiting the two ends of the membrane.

[0071] The pressure gauges of the present application are preferably connected to the centralized control system for intelligent monitoring and control of filtration.

[0072] When the pressure difference rises to a set degree, the wastewater pump will stop working. Then the clear liquid backwash pump is opened, and the backwash starts to run. The backwash fluid enters the ultrafiltration membrane system to perform backwash. When the pressure difference returns to a set degree, the backwash is completed. The backwash fluid is closed again, the filtrate outlet valve is opened again, and the wastewater pump starts to work again to restore filtration. The whole process of backwash repair will be automatically operated.

[0073] The value of the upstream pipe pressure gauge of the fluid entering the membrane is denoted as P1, the value of the downstream pipe pressure gauge is denoted as P2, and the pressure difference of the fluid is ΔP=(P1-P2). In the present application, the relative percentage of the pressure difference ΔP%=ΔP / P1*100% is used to represent the relative value of the pressure difference when calculating the start time of the backwash pump.

[0074] The opening and closing of the start-up time is tested by the relative percentage of the pressure difference of the present application, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the precise control method under the condition of ensuring that the membrane is not damaged are tested. As shown in Table 1.

[0075] Table 1

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] Through the above experiments, in the clarification process of the desulfurization wastewater of the thermal power plant based on the silicon carbide membrane ultrafiltration technology of the present application, the point value of ΔP% when the backflushing pump is opened is between 30-40%, and is preferably 35%.

[0079] It is worth noting that during the period when the backflushing pump is opened, since the cleaning of the blockage accumulated on the membrane is a balanced flushing process, it also takes a certain time to clean and transport these deposits, so the value of ΔP% will remain unchanged for a long period of time. Therefore, in order to ensure complete cleaning, the point value of ΔP% when the backflushing pump is closed is set to be below 25%, and is preferably below 20%.

[0080] At the same time, the cleaning process of the present application further adds cleaning of the deposits accumulated on the filter membrane, and further introduces an acid tank and a descaling cleaning tank, which are connected with a cleaning regenerating pump, and enter the first or second silicon carbide filter membrane filter through the cleaning pipeline II for an auxiliary backflushing step.

[0087] Step 2, the filtrate of the pre-filter 112 of step 1 is filtered by the first membrane filtration circulating pump 114 through the first silicon carbide diaphragm filter 116.

[0090] The above process further comprises a backwashing step, wherein the backwashing step is:

[0091] The pressure difference between the upstream pipe pressure value P1 and the downstream pipe pressure value P2 of the filtrate entering the membrane in step 2 or step 3 is ΔP%=(P1-P2) / P1*100%,

[0092] When the value of ΔP% is 30%, the clear liquid backwashing pump 208 is opened, and the backwashing step is operated;

[0093] When the value of ΔP% is 25, the clear liquid backwashing pump 208 is closed, and the backwashing step is stopped.

[0094] The backwashing step is carried out in the first or second silicon carbide filter membrane filter 116, 120.

[0095] When the backwashing step is operated, the silicon carbide filter membrane filter stops working; when the backwashing step is stopped, the silicon carbide filter membrane filter starts working; the liquid used by the clear liquid backwashing pump comes from the circulating clear liquid collection tank 210.

[0096] The liquid used by the clear liquid backwashing pump 208 enters the first or second silicon carbide filter membrane filter 116, 120 through the cleaning pipe I to carry out the backwashing step.
