The first inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to an industrial water pipe 10, the second inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a concentrate pipe 11, the third inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a flue gas washing wastewater pipe 12, the first outlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a concentrate return spray main pipe, the concentrate return spray main pipe is connected to the spray gun 3 through a boiler branch pipe 7, the spray gun 3 is connected to a compressed air pipe 8, a compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 is installed on the compressed air pipe 8, a main pipe flow meter 13 is installed on the concentrate return spray main pipe, a first electric regulating valve 15 is installed on the boiler branch pipe 7, a branch pipe flow meter 14 is installed between the first electric regulating valve 15 and the spray gun 3, the main pipe flow meter 13 and the branch pipe flow meter 14 are both communicatively connected to the DCS control system, and the DCS control system is communicatively connected to the compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 and the first electric regulating valve 15 respectively.

This effectively improves the concentrate's absorption capacity. Simultaneously, by installing a main pipe flow meter 13 on the concentrate return main pipe, a first electric regulating valve 15 on the boiler branch pipe 7, and a branch pipe flow meter 14 between the first electric regulating valve 15 and the spray gun 3, the flow rates of the concentrate return main pipe and boiler branch pipe 7 can be detected in real time by the main pipe flow meter 13 and the branch pipe flow meter 14.

[0053] The above is Embodiment 1 of a high-temperature flue gas evaporation system for wastewater treatment concentrate provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of the same system. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 .

[0054] The wastewater treatment concentrate high-temperature flue gas evaporation system in this embodiment includes: a concentrate tank 1, a DCS control system, and spray guns 3 installed on the boiler furnace wall 2. The first inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to an industrial water pipe 10 for cleaning various pipes; the second inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a concentrate pipe 11; the third inlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a flue gas washing wastewater pipe 12; the first outlet of the concentrate tank 1 is connected to a concentrate return spray header, which is connected to the spray guns 3 via a boiler branch pipe 7.

A compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 is installed on the compressed air pipeline 8. A main pipe flow meter 13 is installed on the concentrated liquid return spray main pipe. A first electric regulating valve 15 is installed on the boiler branch pipe 7. A branch pipe flow meter 14 is installed between the first electric regulating valve 15 and the spray gun 3. Both the main pipe flow meter 13 and the branch pipe flow meter 14 are communicatively connected to the DCS control system. The DCS control system is communicatively connected to the compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 and the first electric regulating valve 15, respectively.

[0055] Understandably, this wastewater treatment concentrate high-temperature flue gas evaporation system can automatically adjust the pressure according to the concentrate flow rate through the DCS control system, thereby solving the problems of scaling and burnt-out nozzles caused by long-term low pressure clogging.

[0056] The concentrate return spray main pipe includes a return spray main pipe 6, a first branch pipe 4, and a second branch pipe 5. The first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 5 are arranged in parallel. The first end of the first branch pipe 4 and the first end of the second branch pipe 5 are both connected to the first outlet of the concentrate tank 1. The second end of the first branch pipe 4 and the second end of the second branch pipe 5 are both connected to the return spray main pipe 6. The return spray main pipe 6 is connected to the boiler branch pipe 7. The first branch pipe 4 is sequentially equipped with a first inlet manual valve 17, a first filter 18, a first return spray pump 19, a first outlet manual valve 20, and a first check valve 21. The second branch pipe 5 is sequentially equipped with a second inlet manual valve 22, a second filter 23, a second return spray pump 24, a second outlet manual valve 25, and a second check valve 26. The main pipe flow meter 13 is installed on the return spray main pipe 6. The DCS control system is communicatively connected to the first return spray pump 19 and the second return spray pump 24.

[0057] It should be noted that by setting up the first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 5 in parallel, one of the branch pipes can be used as a backup, so that when one line is under maintenance, the other line can be used to keep the back spray running continuously.

[0058] The main injection pipe 6 is also equipped with a main pipe pressure gauge 27, which is connected to the DCS control system.

[0059] The concentrate return spray header is connected to the concentrate tank 1 via the return header 9. The return header 9 is equipped with a return manual valve 28, which controls the return of excess concentrate to the concentrate tank 1. Specifically, one end of the return spray main pipe 6 is connected to the return header 9 and the boiler branch pipe 7, respectively, and the return header 9 is connected to the return water port of the concentrate tank 1.

[0060] A level gauge 32 is installed inside the concentrate tank 1, and the level gauge 32 is connected to the DCS control system.

[0061] A second electric regulating valve 29 is installed on the industrial water pipeline 10; a third electric regulating valve 30 is installed on the concentrate pipeline 11; and a fourth electric regulating valve 31 is installed on the flue gas washing wastewater pipeline 12. The second electric regulating valve 29, the third electric regulating valve 30, and the fourth electric regulating valve 31 are all connected to the DCS control system.

[0062] A branch pipe manual valve 34 is also installed on the boiler branch pipe 7, and an inlet manual valve is installed on the concentrate pipe 11, the industrial water pipe 10 and the flue gas washing wastewater pipe 12.

[0063] A manual compressed air valve 33 is also installed on the compressed air pipeline 8.

[0064] The spray gun 3 is a two-fluid atomizing spray gun 3. Specifically, the two-fluid atomizing spray gun 3 includes an outer gun tube and an inner gun tube. The boiler branch pipe 7 is connected to the inner gun tube, and the compressed air pipe 8 is connected to the outer gun tube. The liquid enters through the inner gun tube, and the compressed air enters through the outer gun tube, and atomization is achieved at the atomizing section at the end of the spray gun 3. The compressed air pressure can be controlled at 0.3~0.4 MPa, and the concentrated liquid inlet pressure of the spray gun 3 is 0.3~0.4 MPa.

[0065] A method for high-temperature flue gas evaporation of wastewater treatment concentrate based on the above-mentioned high-temperature flue gas evaporation system for wastewater treatment concentrate is disclosed. The method specifically includes: conveying the concentrate from the concentrate tank 1 to the spray gun 3 via the concentrate return main pipe and boiler branch pipe 7; conveying compressed air to the spray gun 3 via the compressed air pipeline 8; and atomizing the concentrate in the spray gun 3 to form fine droplets, increasing the contact area with the high-temperature flue gas, thereby enabling rapid evaporation and combustion. During this process, the main pipe flow meter 13 and the branch pipe flow meter 14 monitor the flow rate of the concentrate return main pipe and boiler branch pipe 7 in real time and transmit the data to the DCS control system. The DCS control system then controls the compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 and the first electric regulating valve 15 to automatically adjust the pressure, ensuring the atomization effect and solving the problem of scale buildup, blockage, and burnout of the spray gun 3 caused by untimely manual on-site intervention.

[0066] Specifically, the inlet end of the concentrate pipeline 11 is connected to the concentrate tank. When the concentrate tank level is below 3m, the third electric regulating valve 30 and the fourth electric regulating valve 31 automatically close.

[0067] When the liquid level in the concentrate tank 1 is higher than 0.3m and lower than 1.5m, the liquid in the concentrate tank 1 is flushed through the first return spray pump 19 or the second return spray pump 24 to flush the concentrate return spray header and boiler branch pipe 7, and finally returned to the furnace through the spray gun 3.

[0068] When the liquid level in concentrate tank 1 drops below 0.4m, the second electric regulating valve 29 automatically opens to replenish water until the liquid level in concentrate tank 1 reaches 1.5m. At this point, the second electric regulating valve 29 closes, completing one water replenishment operation. This process is repeated until the water replenishment is completed three times, at which point the second electric regulating valve 29 completely closes, ending the water replenishment operation.

[0069] When the liquid level in the concentrate tank 1 is below 0.3m, the flushing and back spraying are completed. At this time, the first back spraying pump 19 or the second back spraying pump 24 that is running will be automatically stopped, and the first electric regulating valve 15 will be closed. At the same time, the compressed air pressure regulating valve 16 will be adjusted to increase the pressure (from 0.2MPa to 0.3MPa) to prevent the spray gun 3 from being burned out.

[0070] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
