Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a low-energy consumption evaporation crystallization system and process for treating saline wastewater from power plants using heat pump technology. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most landfill leachate is recovered using membrane technology, and the membrane concentrate (salt, heavy metals, and difficult-to-degrade organic matter) is reinjected into the landfill. As time goes by, the water quality of the landfill leachate deteriorates dramatically, and the existing treatment processes are overwhelmed and have been partially shut down (biochemical and membrane processes).
[0003] Waste incineration power plants and coal-fired power plants contain a large amount of "waste heat" that needs to be cooled (turbine cooling water, generator cooling water, transformer cooling water, etc.) and high-temperature flue gas. In addition, various membrane processes need to treat concentrated water containing salt water. The current practice is to directly mix it with coal powder or dry garbage for incineration, causing furnace corrosion and the high salt content of the fuel affects the recovery and use of fly ash in the later stage. The existing evaporation process has a large demand for high-grade heat sources (industrial electricity, steam), but has not utilized low-grade heat sources and has not explored other uses, resulting in the waste of low-grade heat sources and no value. Low-grade heat sources also require resources to collect and cool down to meet production process requirements.
[0004] Therefore, it is crucial to utilize the above waste heat sources to optimize the saline wastewater treatment process in power plants. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-energy evaporation crystallization system and process for treating saline wastewater from power plants using heat pump technology.
[0006] The essence of the low-temperature evaporation technology of the evaporation tower in the present invention is to use the air temperature difference to affect the different water carrying capacity under normal pressure (the saturated vapor pressure of water vapor increases with the increase of temperature). The saturated vapor pressure of water vapor increases with the increase of temperature; the water vapor content in the air is very low under room temperature conditions, but when it is close to the boiling point of water (80°C) and above, the water vapor content in the air can be close to 75% to 90%. After heating, the salty wastewater of the power plant transfers the steam (humid air) in the evaporation tower to the condensation tower through wind, condenses and releases latent heat. The light components in the evaporation tower are continuously reduced, and the heavy components (salt, organic matter, heavy metals, etc.) are continuously accumulated to become concentrated mother liquor, and the final destination is incineration or crystallization; the sensible heat in the condensation tower is utilized, and reused after cooling by a cold source (cooling water, chilled water) or discharged after meeting the standards.

[0014] The water vapor outlet at the top of the evaporation tower is connected to the inlet at the bottom of the condensation tower, and the condensation tower is used to condense the water vapor in the evaporation tower into recyclable water.
[0015] In the present invention, the evaporation tower adopts low-temperature positive pressure evaporation technology.
[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heat pump assembly is connected to an external cooling circulation tower, which is used to provide an external waste heat source for the heat pump assembly and receive the low-temperature refrigerant of the heat pump assembly.

[0031] The second object of the present invention is to provide a low-energy evaporation and crystallization process for treating saline wastewater from power plants using heat pump technology, using the above system, comprising the following steps:
[0032] The salty wastewater collection tank of the external power plant transports the wastewater to the evaporation tower through the liquid inlet pump. The evaporation tower evaporates and concentrates the wastewater, and the evaporated water vapor is obtained at the top and the concentrated wastewater is obtained at the bottom.

[0045] A portion of the low-temperature refrigerant produced by the condenser is sent to the external circulation tower.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the blower delivers the cold air generated by it to the evaporation tower.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0048] (1) The system provided by the present invention introduces an evaporation process to complete the terminal disposal of desalted water in power plant boilers and membrane concentrate in landfills. It can complete evaporation and concentration at normal pressure until the crystallized salt begins to crystallize, eliminating the continuous deterioration of water quality caused by disorderly discharge of desalted water and reinjection of landfill leachate (membrane concentrate). The wastewater fundamentally removes difficult-to-degrade organic matter, salt, heavy metals, etc. from the system, and the produced water can be directly reused as boiler inlet water or directly used as circulating water to supplement the cooling circulation system. It is very friendly to the stable operation of the wastewater system and also reduces the large amount of heat source waste caused by the incineration of concentrated liquid.
[0049] (2) The system provided by the present invention adopts a normal pressure and low temperature evaporation process, which is safe and reliable in daily production, has no dangerous control points, and is relatively friendly to production safety and personnel operation; and uses air as a power source to continuously drive the evaporated secondary steam, and the humid air can be repeatedly recycled after condensation.
[0050] (3) The system provided by the present invention is not affected by changes in water quality (salt type, high-boiling organic matter, low-boiling organic matter content) in terms of treatment efficiency and treatment effect. The produced water can be directly reused due to its mild evaporation effect and excellent water quality.
[0051] (4) The system provided by the present invention uses a low-temperature evaporation process, taking into account the waste heat source, which is mainly the exhaust steam from waste incineration power generation and coal-fired power generation, turbine cooling water, etc. (all of which are relatively low-grade heat sources), and converts them into high-temperature heat sources through a heat pump component and provides them to a heat exchanger.
[0052] (5) Considering that the COP value is the largest in the optimal operating state of the heat pump, the temperature gradient is large, the energy level span is large, the greater the input power, the lower the energy efficiency ratio, and for the evaporator heat exchange, in principle, as long as the heat source is greater than the set evaporation temperature, heat exchange can be carried out. However, if the logarithmic temperature difference is small, the heat exchanger area is large (precious metals are used for the heat exchanger), and the equipment is not economical.
[0053] (6) In the system provided by the present invention, the heat pump component outputs a hot water source temperature of 45°C to 85°C, which is particularly suitable for low-temperature evaporation processes. Due to the low-temperature evaporation temperature (55 to 100°C), the heat pump component and the low-temperature evaporation process are used to complement each other, and the waste heat and residual heat generated by the power plant are used to "treat waste with waste", which also promotes the green and sustainable development of the power plant.
[0054] (7) The heat pump assembly in the system provided by the present invention refers to a heat pump unit that can recover 20-55°C and provide hot water at 65-95°C, and uses a compressor to continuously extract energy from a low-temperature heat source to supply a condenser.
[0055] In general, the present invention adopts a combination of low-temperature atmospheric pressure evaporation technology and heat pump technology, and uses "waste heat and residual heat" to supplement the heat of the low-temperature atmospheric pressure evaporation technology, completes the low-energy consumption operation of the power plant's saline wastewater treatment, and promotes the green and sustainable development of the power plant.
