Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seawater and saline wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a design structure of a combined optimization reverse osmosis system and a mechanical vapor recompression system, so that the total annualized cost of the combined system is minimized. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, the scarcity of fresh water resources has become a global environmental problem. With the development of social economy and the gradual advancement of industrialization, the discharge of industrial wastewater has caused varying degrees of pollution of water resources. With the growth of the world's population today, people's demand for fresh water is increasing, so that many areas in the world have become or are becoming short of fresh water. For industrial high-salt wastewater, seawater desalination technology is urgently needed to achieve wastewater desalination treatment and minimize the pollution of discharged industrial wastewater. On the one hand, it can reduce the pollution of water resources, and on the other hand, the treated fresh water can be used for people's daily life, alleviating the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources. At present, most coal chemical projects use the "dual membrane" reuse technology of "ultrafiltration + reverse osmosis" to treat industrial wastewater. Among them, reverse osmosis technology is currently the main method of use due to its simple structure, easy operation, high fresh water quality and short engineering construction period.
[0003] Reverse osmosis technology uses pressure as a driving force to separate the fresh water and salt water of coal-fired power plant wastewater through a reverse osmosis membrane. The main components of the high-concentration brine after separation are Cl - 、SO4 2- 、Na + , Ca2 + If inorganic salt ions such as chlorinated salt are directly discharged, it will not only cause environmental pollution but also waste resources. Therefore, the concentrated brine produced by the reverse osmosis system is concentrated and crystallized through a mechanical vapor compression system to obtain a saturated salt solution that can be crystallized and more fresh water, further improving the utilization rate of coal-fired power wastewater. The saturated salt solution can be further purified and separated to obtain high-purity salt products that meet market demand, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc.
[0004] The concentrated brine produced by the reverse osmosis system can be used as the feed of the mechanical vapor compression system for concentration and crystallization. Since the flow rate and concentration of the concentrated brine produced by the reverse osmosis system are determined by the quality of its feed water and the design structure, these factors not only affect the reverse osmosis system itself, but also directly affect the feed conditions of the mechanical vapor compression system. The heat exchange area of the evaporator and heat exchanger of the mechanical vapor compression system will also affect the design and operating costs of the system. It can be seen that the design structure of the reverse osmosis system and the design structure of the mechanical vapor compression system will affect the annualized total cost of the entire system. Therefore, it is very meaningful to conduct a joint optimization analysis of the two to determine the optimal design structure.
[0005] At present, reverse osmosis systems and mechanical vapor recompression systems are usually optimized independently, and the design of reverse osmosis systems usually relies on special design software provided by domestic and foreign membrane manufacturers. These software help designers design systems by simulating and calculating the operating parameters under a given scheme, such as fresh water quality and system feed water pressure. However, due to the arbitrariness of setting the scheme, the design process may undergo repeated revisions from infeasible to feasible, and the target optimality of the final scheme cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, the design of mechanical vapor recompression systems usually aims at minimum energy consumption and optimizes the heat transfer area to reduce investment costs. However, this single optimization method does not take into account the mutual influence between the two. For example, different reverse osmosis system design structures will produce different brine salt concentrations and flow rates, which will affect the operation of the mechanical vapor recompression system, and then affect the water production and economic costs of the entire system.
[0006] In contrast, joint optimization can optimize at the overall system level, including all feasible design solutions through the superstructure network model, taking into account the design structure, equipment heat exchange area and operating conditions of the reverse osmosis system and mechanical vapor recompression system. By combining investment costs, operating costs and design variables, joint optimization can obtain the optimal system structure, thereby avoiding local optimal or even unfeasible design solutions that may appear in separate optimization. Joint optimization can improve the rationality and economy of the design.
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the current design modes of reverse osmosis systems and mechanical vapor recompression systems, the present invention proposes a joint design optimization method for mechanical vapor recompression systems and reverse osmosis systems. The method establishes a strict mechanism model based on the treatment requirements of coal-fired power wastewater and the principle of reverse osmosis. By combining the superstructure network model, the reverse osmosis process model, and the mechanical vapor recompression system model, the joint system is optimized with the lowest total annualized cost as the optimization goal, and the joint system design structure with the lowest total annualized cost is obtained. In the design of the reverse osmosis system, the superstructure network model covers design variables such as the number of pressure vessels, the number and type of membrane elements in the pressure vessels, and the amount of concentrated water reflux. The reverse osmosis system can select and optimize between multiple design structures. In the design of the mechanical vapor recompression system, two design variables, the heat transfer area of the evaporator and the heat exchanger, are covered. The total annualized cost includes the investment cost and operating cost of the joint system. Summary of the invention

The stream entering the boosting node is pressurized by a vacuum pump or directly enters the corresponding reverse osmosis node.

[0024] Step 2: Establish the reverse osmosis unit model:
[0025] Step 2.1, establish the connection model between the reverse osmosis superstructure network and the reverse osmosis process model:

[0033] Solvent transport parameter A w and solute transport parameter B s is a function of temperature: Where N memtype Indicates the number of membrane elements, A j is the intrinsic solvent transport parameter of the membrane element used in the jth reverse osmosis stage, B j is the intrinsic solute transport parameter A of the membrane element used in the jth reverse osmosis k , B k is the inherent transport parameter of the kth reverse osmosis membrane element model under standard conditions, x j,k It is a 0-1 variable. When the j-th reverse osmosis pressure vessel uses the k-th type of membrane element, it takes the value of 1, otherwise it takes the value of 0. α1, α2 and β1 represent constants, and T represents the Kelvin temperature at which the system operates.
[0034] Considering the influence of concentration polarization in the reverse osmosis process, the concentration polarization phenomenon is that the salt concentration on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane increases and the osmotic pressure increases. In order to maintain the original water flux, the external pressure must be increased: concentration polarization value Among them C b(z) represents the salt concentration of concentrated water at position z in the reverse osmosis membrane channel, k c(z) It represents the membrane mass transfer coefficient at the position z in the reverse osmosis membrane channel.
[0035] Solute mass transfer coefficient k c(z) Obtained by the following equation: Re (z) =ρ (z) V (z) d e / μ(z) Sc (z) =μ (z) / (ρ (z) D AB(z) );

The inlets of the two heat exchangers are connected to the concentrated water flowing out of the concentrated water outlet of the reverse osmosis superstructure network, and the outlets of the two heat exchangers are connected to the circulating pump through pipelines.

[0115] The first boosting node is used as the feed water inlet. A portion of the feed water (mixed with a portion of the concentrated water / fresh water produced by any reverse osmosis membrane) is transported to the first reverse osmosis node through a high pressure pump (HPP) and then enters the first reverse osmosis stage (stage 1). The concentrated water / fresh water stream produced by the first reverse osmosis stage can enter any boosting node. The concentrated water / fresh water that enters the i-th boosting node enters the j-th reverse osmosis stage after passing through the corresponding j-th reverse osmosis node; the concentrated water or fresh water stream produced by any reverse osmosis stage can enter any boosting node.

[0132] Step 2: Establish the reverse osmosis unit model:
[0133] Step 2.1, establish the connection model between the reverse osmosis superstructure network and the reverse osmosis process model:
[0134] Q f =Q RO,j / N pv,j ; C f =C RO,j ;P f =P RO,j ;like Figure 2 As shown, Q f , C f , Pf Respectively represent the feed water flow, salt concentration and pressure of the reverse osmosis section, N pv,j Represents the number of pressure vessels in the jth reverse osmosis stage.
[0135] Step 2.2: According to the law of conservation of materials in the reverse osmosis process of each reverse osmosis section, establish the solution conservation and flow conservation equations: Q f =Q p -Q r ;Q f C f =Q p C p +Q r C r ; where C p represents the salt concentration of fresh water produced by the reverse osmosis stage, C r Indicates the salt concentration of the concentrate produced by the reverse osmosis stage.

When the j-th reverse osmosis pressure vessel uses the k-th type of membrane element, it takes the value of 1, otherwise it takes the value of 0. α1, α2 and β1 represent constants, and T represents the Kelvin temperature at which the system operates.
[0142] Considering the influence of concentration polarization in the reverse osmosis process, the concentration polarization phenomenon is that the salt concentration on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane increases and the osmotic pressure increases. In order to maintain the original water flux, the external pressure must be increased: concentration polarization value Among them C b(z) represents the salt concentration of concentrated water at position z in the reverse osmosis membrane channel, k c(z) It represents the membrane mass transfer coefficient at the position z in the reverse osmosis membrane channel.

[0147] Reverse osmosis membrane solvent flux J v(z) and solute flux J s(z) Satisfaction: J s(z) =J v(z) ×C p(z) ;
[0148] Without considering the influence of pollutants on the system during the reverse osmosis process, following the law of conservation of materials and the mechanism shown above, the change of the pressure loss Pd(z) in the reverse osmosis membrane channel along the channel is expressed as: λ (z) =6.23K λ Re (z) -0.3 ; K λ is the empirical parameter related to the membrane element, λ (z) is the friction coefficient at position z in the reverse osmosis membrane channel.
[0149] Due to the pressure in the reverse osmosis membrane channel So there is
[0150] And when z=0, P b(0) =P f ; When z = L, P b(L) =P r L is the length of the membrane channel, z = L refers to the end of the membrane channel, P r It is the concentrate pressure at the outlet of the reverse osmosis section.

[0152] When z = 0, When z = L, h sp is the height of the feed interval channel. Qr is the concentrated water flow rate at the outlet of the reverse osmosis section.
[0153] Solute concentration (salt concentration) C in the reverse osmosis membrane channel b(z) The changes along the channel can be expressed as:
[0154] And when z=0, C b(0) =C f , when z=L, C b(L) =C r . C r It is the salt concentration of the concentrate at the outlet of the reverse osmosis section.
[0155] According to the above formula, when the fresh water pressure P p When is 0, given the feed water flow, pressure, and salt concentration of the jth reverse osmosis node, the final fresh water flow Q at the outlet of the corresponding reverse osmosis section can be obtained. p and freshwater salt concentration C p .
