Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thermal seawater desalination, and in particular to a system and method for improving the water production ratio of thermal seawater desalination. Background Art

[0002] Desalination refers to water treatment technologies that remove most of the salt from seawater, making the treated water suitable for use as drinking water or boiler feed water. Currently, the mainstream desalination technologies include reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and thermal desalination, with the most common thermal desalination technology being low-temperature multi-effect distillation (LW-MED).

[0003] like Figure 4 As shown, the existing LW-MED process operates based on the countercurrent flow of evaporating steam and seawater feed. The process feed seawater is first introduced into the cold effect, where it partially evaporates by receiving the latent heat of condensation from the steam in the adjacent, hotter effect. The remaining seawater in each effect, slightly heated and concentrated, is then pumped to the next, hotter effect. A portion of the regenerated steam from the low-temperature effect is compressed and recycled back to the first effect via a thermocompressor, significantly improving the process's thermal efficiency and thus the unit's performance ratio.

[0004] In the LW-MED process, cooling water is required through a cooling tower, including:

[0005] 1. The regeneration steam generated in the final effect is split into two paths. One path enters the falling film condenser, where it condenses and heats the incoming seawater to a controlled fixed temperature while also degassing the seawater. The second path of regeneration steam, which is excess from heating the incoming seawater, enters the forced circulation condenser, where it is cooled by cooling water from the circulating cooling tower.

[0006] 2. Non-condensable gases (NCGs) must be removed from the process because they can affect heat transfer efficiency and cause corrosion. NCGs are piped to the tube side of the heat rejection condenser for concentration. Here, along with NCGs from the shell side (seawater side) of the falling film condenser, they are extracted from the process via a three-stage steam ejector pump with a direct contact condenser. The condensate from the direct contact condenser circulates in a closed loop. The NCG condensate is cooled by cooling water from the cooling tower through a plate heat exchanger.

[0007] 3. In order to ensure that the temperature of the first-effect steam condensate (initial temperature of about 68°C) meets the temperature requirements of process water, the first-effect steam condensate is cooled by cooling water from the cooling tower through a plate heat exchanger.

[0008] The above three processes all use cooling water from the circulating cooling tower. After passing through their respective forced circulation condensers (or plate heat exchangers), the temperature rises, and after being gathered into one path, it returns to the circulating cooling tower, exchanges with the air to release heat, and then circulates in a closed loop.

[0009] However, the LW-MED process has the following technical problems:

[0010] 1. When the LW-MED device is in normal operation, multiple circulating cooling towers are usually needed to take away the heat continuously generated during the operation of the device. When several sets of LW-MED devices share one circulating cooling tower system, the reliability and flexibility of the LW-MED device during operation are greatly reduced.

[0011] 2. The circulating cooling tower system continuously takes away the generated heat and eventually enters the atmosphere through air heat exchange, resulting in the loss of heat and working medium.

[0012] 3. To ensure that the circulating seawater of the circulating cooling tower system does not scale, scale inhibitors, bactericides and other reagents need to be added, and continuous water replenishment and pollution discharge are needed to ensure that the system does not corrode and scale, resulting in high maintenance costs and waste of working medium. SUMMARY

[0013] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a system and method for improving the water production ratio of thermal seawater desalination, which can increase the reliability and flexibility of the system, avoid the loss of heat and working medium, reduce the amount of primary effect heat exchange steam and the operation and maintenance cost of the circulating cooling tower system, and improve the water production ratio.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] Figure 3A method for improving the water production ratio of thermal seawater desalination provided by the embodiments of the present application, comprising:

[0103] When the raw seawater temperature is greater than 15 degrees Celsius, the first regulating valve 1, the second regulating valve 2, the third regulating valve 3, the fourth regulating valve 4, and the fifth regulating valve 5 are closed, and the sixth regulating valve 6 and the seventh regulating valve 7 are opened.

[0104] When the raw seawater temperature is less than or equal to 15 degrees Celsius, the sixth regulating valve 6 and the seventh regulating valve 7 are closed, and the first regulating valve 1, the second regulating valve 2, the third regulating valve 3, the fourth regulating valve 4, and the fifth regulating valve 5 are opened.

[0105] Wherein, the raw seawater temperature is the temperature of seawater before entering the seawater desalination system, when the raw seawater temperature is greater than 15 degrees Celsius, the cooling tower works normally to provide cooling water for the NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16, the forced circulation condenser 11, and the condensate water heat exchanger 14; when the raw seawater temperature is less than or equal to 15 degrees Celsius, seawater is used to provide cooling for the NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16, the forced circulation condenser 11, and the condensate water heat exchanger 14, and the cooling tower is closed to further achieve water and electricity saving.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the opening degree of the second regulating valve 2 is less than 60%, and the opening degree of the third regulating valve 3 is less than 58%.

[0107] Wherein, by controlling the opening degree of the second regulating valve 2, the amount of cooling water entering the NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16 can be accurately controlled, so as to control the temperature of the cooling water side and the condensate water side of the NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16; by controlling the opening degree of the third regulating valve 3, the amount of cooling water entering the condensate water heat exchanger 14 can be accurately controlled, so as to control the temperature of the cooling water / condensate water side of the condensate water heat exchanger 14, and the specific parameters are as follows:

[0108] NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16 operating parameters:

[0109]

[0110] Condensate water heat exchanger 14 operating parameters:

[0111]

[0112] In a possible implementation, when the seawater desalination system is shut down in winter or needs to be overhauled, the first emptying valve 8 and the second emptying valve 9 are opened to empty the stored water in the system, so as to achieve winter anti-freezing or facilitate overhauling.

[0113] Technical effects and principles:

[0114] Adopting the control method of the embodiment of the present application, when the seawater temperature is less than or equal to 15 degrees Celsius, the heat energy of the NCG condensate water heat exchanger 16 and the condensate water heat exchanger 14 is recovered to the feed water system through the cooling of the original seawater, avoiding the loss of the working medium and the loss of heat, and the recovered heat is used to heat the feed water. Since the temperature of the feed water of the first effect in the operation of the seawater desalination system is 70°, the amount of steam used for heating the first effect is correspondingly reduced. Guided by the "black box" theory, the boundary of the heat balance of the entire seawater desalination system is researched (taking a single set of seawater desalination system with a design value of 25000 tons / day in a coastal area as a calculation model):

[0115] 1) Calculate the boundary conditions:

[0116] The power steam parameters of the first effect are: pressure 0.5 MPa, temperature 70° (saturated steam with superheat degree of 0°);

[0117] Circulating cooling water: winter inlet water temperature 6°, return water temperature (see table below), flow rate (100+140) t / h;

[0118] The specific heat capacity of the cooling seawater is 3.9795*103 J / (kg.°C) for convenience of calculation (salinity 4.9%, temperature 42℃);

[0119] Latent heat of vaporization: for convenience of calculation, the latent heat is 2675.9 kJ / kg (100℃).

[0120]

[0121] Change of water production ratio:

[0122] The original design of a single set of seawater desalination has a water production of 25000 t / d, and the first effect steam consumption is 69 t / h, and the water production ratio is 15.096 (see the following formula):

[0123] Water production ratio = water production / first effect steam consumption

[0124] = 25000 t / d*24*69 t / h

[0125] = 15.096

[0126] According to the operation mode of the present application, the water production ratio is 15.945, which is calculated as follows:

[0127] Water production ratio = water production / first effect steam consumption

[0128] = 25000 t / d*24*(69-3.675) t / h

[0129] = 15.945

[0130] Through the heat balance as the boundary to calculate, the seawater desalination water production ratio is increased by 0.849 before the technology is improved, and the macroeconomic benefit is obvious.
