DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] The following describes a methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a quenching tower 1, a filtering circulation tank 3, an inorganic membrane filter 5, a stripping tower 6 and a quenching water concentrate storage tank 7.

[0040] The filter circulation tank 3 is connected to the quench tower 1 via a pipeline to transport the quench water to be treated in the quench tower 1 to the filter circulation tank 3. For example, a quench water booster pump 2 is provided on the pipeline between the filter circulation tank 3 and the quench tower 1, and the quench water booster pump 2 is used to boost the quench water to be treated in the quench tower 1 and then transport it to the filter circulation tank 3.

[0041] The inorganic membrane filter 5 is connected to the filter circulation tank 3 via a pipeline to transport the quenching water in the filter circulation tank 3 to the inorganic membrane filter 5 for filtration treatment, and the concentrated solution filtered by the inorganic membrane filter 5 is returned to the filter circulation tank 3 for recirculation. For example, a membrane filtration circulation pump 4 is provided on the pipeline between the inorganic membrane filter 5 and the filter circulation tank 3, and the membrane filtration circulation pump 4 is used to drive the quenching water to circulate between the inorganic membrane filter 5 and the filter circulation tank 3.

[0042] The stripping tower 6 is connected to the inorganic membrane filter 5 via a pipeline, so that the clear liquid filtered out by the inorganic membrane filter 5 is transported to the stripping tower 6 .

[0043] The quench water concentrate storage tank 7 is connected to the inorganic membrane filter 5 via a pipeline, so that a portion of the concentrate filtered out of the inorganic membrane filter 5 is extracted and transported to the quench water concentrate storage tank 7. The amount of concentrate extracted from the concentrate filtered out of the inorganic membrane filter 5 accounts for 10% of the amount of clear liquid filtered out of the inorganic membrane filter 5.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the quench water containing oil and catalyst is pressurized by the quench water booster pump 2, the quench water temperature reaches 120°C, and the pressure reaches 1.3MPaG. After passing through the regulating valve 101, it enters the filter circulation tank 3, wherein the regulating valve 101 controls the quench water flow entering the inorganic membrane filter 5, 101 and the pressure gauge 202 of the filter circulation tank 3 realize single-loop control, and after the clear liquid output of the inorganic membrane filter 5 is adjusted, the regulating valve 101 automatically controls the pressure of the entire system to keep the system pressure at 1.3MPaG.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, after the quenching water enters the filtration circulation tank 3, it is sent to the inorganic membrane filter 5 after passing through the membrane filtration circulation pump 4. Five membrane filtration circulation pumps 4 are arranged, three in operation and two in reserve. One membrane filtration circulation pump 4 corresponds to one inorganic membrane filter 5. Each inorganic membrane filter 5 does not interfere with each other. The membrane filtration circulation pump 4 adopts variable frequency control to ensure the circulation amount of quenching water in each filter to prevent catalyst deposition.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the quenching water passes through the membrane filtration circulation pump 4, and each inorganic membrane filter 5 is provided with two groups of filtration modules, which are connected in series and vertically distributed. The quenching water enters from the bottom of the first group of filtration modules, is sent out from the bottom of the second group of filtration modules, and then flows back to the filtration circulation tank 3 to complete the whole cycle.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the ceramic membrane tubes inside each group of filter modules are distributed vertically in a circular shape, which is similar to the arrangement of a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger. The quenching water enters from the bottom, passes through the circular channel in the ceramic membrane tube, flows out from the top, and enters the top of the second group of filter modules. The quenching water enters from the top of the second group of filter modules and flows out from the bottom through the circular channel in the ceramic membrane tube. The quenching water in the ceramic membrane tube flows along the surface of the inorganic ceramic membrane, forming fluid shear conditions on the membrane surface. The filtered clear liquid enters the shell side through the ceramic membrane gap. The shell sides of the two groups of filter modules are connected by pipes. The filtered clear liquid passes through the regulating valve 104 to the stripping tower 6 to achieve the filtering purpose.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the regulating valve 104 controls the clear liquid extraction flow rate. For example, a single inorganic ceramic membrane filter can process 23.5m 3 / h, the outlet regulating valve 104 realizes single-loop control and cooperates with the inlet regulating valve 101 to achieve automatic control as a whole.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, a remote pressure gauge 204 is provided at the filter inlet, a remote pressure gauge 205 is provided at the top of the pipeline connecting the outlet of the first group of filter modules with the second group of filter modules, a remote pressure gauge 206 is provided at the outlet of the shell side clear liquid side, and a remote pressure gauge 207 is provided at the outlet of the second group of filter modules. The operation status of each inorganic membrane filter 5 is monitored online through the above remote pressure gauges to determine whether regeneration is required.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, before the outlet of the inorganic membrane filter 5 returns to the filter circulation tank 3, a concentrated solution is produced and sent to the quench water concentrated solution storage tank 7. For example, the concentrated solution production of a single inorganic ceramic membrane filter is 2.5m 3 / h, to prevent the catalyst from gradually depositing during the inorganic membrane filtration cycle. The concentrated solution production flow rate is controlled by the regulating valve 105. The regulating valve 105 and the concentrated solution flow meter 203 realize single-loop control and realize automatic control of the concentrated solution production.

[0051] Therefore, the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system of the embodiment of the present invention can effectively filter the catalyst particles in the fluidized bed methanol to olefins wastewater, has strong treatment capacity, occupies a small area of ​​the device, improves the liquid-solid separation efficiency, reduces energy consumption and wastewater discharge, and reduces equipment blockage and maintenance costs.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes: a plate and frame filter press 9, a screw conveyor 10 and a plate and frame filtrate liquid storage tank 11.

[0053] The plate-frame filter press 9 is connected to the quench water concentrate storage tank 7 via a pipeline to transport the concentrate in the quench water concentrate storage tank 7 to the plate-frame filter press 9 for compression and filtration. For example, a concentrate booster pump 8 is provided on the pipeline between the plate-frame filter press 9 and the quench water concentrate storage tank 7, and the concentrate booster pump 8 is used to pressurize the concentrate in the quench water concentrate storage tank 7 and then transport it to the plate-frame filter press 9.

[0054] The screw conveyor 10 is connected to the plate-frame filter press 9 so that the filter cake compressed by the plate-frame filter press 9 is conveyed to the waste hopper through the screw conveyor 10 .

[0055] The plate-frame filter clear liquid storage tank 11 is connected to the plate-frame filter press 9 via a pipeline, so that the clear liquid filtered by the plate-frame filter press 9 is transported to the plate-frame filter clear liquid storage tank 11. The plate-frame filter clear liquid storage tank 11 is also connected to the quenching tower 1 via a pipeline, so that the clear liquid is transported back to the quenching tower 1 for recycling. For example, a plate-frame clear liquid booster pump 12 is provided on the pipeline between the plate-frame filter clear liquid storage tank 11 and the quenching tower 1, and the plate-frame clear liquid booster pump 12 is used to pressurize the clear liquid in the plate-frame filter clear liquid storage tank 11 and transport it to the quenching tower 1.

[0056] The concentrated liquid extracted from the inorganic membrane filter 5 enters the quench water concentrated liquid storage tank 7 and passes through the quench water concentrated liquid booster pump 8 (one open and one standby), and the temperature reaches 100°C and the pressure reaches 0.8MPaG, and is sent to the plate and frame filter press 9 for filtration. The plate and frame filter press 9 adopts a two-open and one-standby method. The filtered clear liquid is sent to the plate and frame filtered clear liquid storage tank 11, and then sent to the quench tower 1 for recycling after passing through the plate and frame clear liquid booster pump 12 (one open and one standby). After the filtered filter cake is formed, the filter plate is pulled open by the plate pulling trolley of the plate and frame filter press 9. The filter cake falls into the screw conveyor 10 due to gravity, and is transported to the waste hopper by the bolt conveyor and then loaded for processing.

[0057] It should be noted that after the inorganic membrane filter 5 has been running for a period of time, when the pressure difference between the pressure gauge 206 on the clear liquid side and the pressure gauge 204 on the quench water inlet side is greater than 0.25 MPaG, the inorganic ceramic membrane needs to be regenerated. Regeneration uses independent pipeline equipment, mainly using 8% sodium hydroxide solution and 8% nitric acid solution for regeneration, so that the membrane surface is thoroughly cleaned and the filtration flux is fully restored. The entire regeneration process is automatically controlled by programmable valves.

[0058] Among them, the steam, nitrogen, fresh water and desalted water used for regeneration are all connected by external public works, and the sodium hydroxide solution and nitric acid solution used for regeneration are configured in corresponding liquid tanks and can be recycled and reused.

[0059] The inorganic membrane filter 5 undergoes regeneration through drainage, steam purging, alkali washing and nitrogen purging, fresh water rinsing, acid washing and nitrogen purging, fresh water rinsing, and desalted water rinsing, and then regeneration is completed and ready for use. Since the acid and alkali solutions share the same regeneration pipeline, part of the acid and alkali solutions in the pipelines before and after the cleaning liquid pump 15 are discharged to the neutralization tank 16 through a program-controlled valve to be neutralized into a neutral solution, and are regularly sent to sewage treatment.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the drainage stage during the regeneration process of the inorganic membrane filter 5:

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a steam supply device 17 , which is connected to the inorganic membrane filter 5 via a pipeline so as to purge the inorganic membrane filter 5 with steam.

[0124] The control logic of the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system of the embodiment of the present invention adopts an automatic control system that uses the pressure gauge 202 of the filter circulation tank 3 to control the quench water flow meter 201 of the filter circulation tank 3. That is, the signal of the pressure transmitter of the filter circulation tank 3 is connected to the DCS, and the DCS controls the opening of the liquid inlet valve 101 according to the change of pressure, so as to change the flow of the quench water entering the filter circulation tank 3 to change the pressure of the filter circulation tank 3, thereby achieving the purpose of stably controlling the pressure of the filter circulation tank 3.

[0125] The automatic control system is used to control the back pressure of the clear liquid side of the first and second components of the inorganic membrane filter 5 by the clear liquid flow rate out of the inorganic membrane filter 5, and adjust the clear liquid flow rate. That is, the signal of the inorganic membrane clear liquid electromagnetic flowmeter transmitter is connected to the controller, and the controller controls the opening of the first and second filter component outlet automatic regulating valve according to the change of the flow rate, changes the back pressure of the permeation side of the first and second components, and adjusts the clear liquid flow rate of the first and second components, so as to achieve the purpose of stably controlling the clear liquid flow rate of the inorganic membrane filter 5.

[0126] The discharge flow rate of the concentrated liquid from the inorganic membrane filter 5 is adjusted by the solid content of the concentrated liquid from the inorganic membrane filter 5, and the automatic control system for controlling the solid content of the concentrated liquid at the outlet of the filter is adopted. That is, according to the solid content of the concentrated liquid, the signal of the electromagnetic flowmeter transmitter of the inorganic membrane concentrated liquid is connected to the DCS controller, and the controller controls the opening of the concentrated liquid discharge automatic regulating valve 105 according to the set flow parameters, and changes the discharge flow rate of the concentrated liquid, so as to achieve the purpose of stably controlling the solid content of the concentrated liquid from the inorganic membrane filter 5.

[0127] In summary, the methanol to olefins wastewater treatment system of the embodiment of the present invention uses the membrane filtration circulation pump 4 to force circulation filtration, the filtration flow is large, and the catalyst in the wastewater is not easy to deposit. In addition, during the circulation process of the concentrated liquid, 10% of the clear liquid output is extracted and sent to the plate and frame filter press 9, further preventing the catalyst from being gradually deposited during the inorganic ceramic membrane filtration circulation process.

[0128] The filtration method adopts the cross-flow filtration method. The liquid in the filter is a cross-flow and tangential flow process. The liquid flows along the surface of the inorganic ceramic membrane, forming fluid shear conditions on the membrane surface, making it difficult for pollutants to stay on the membrane surface. The inorganic ceramic membrane can be used for a long time and repeatedly.

[0129] One of the inorganic membrane filters 5 in the system is always in the regeneration stage to ensure that the output of the clear liquid is continuous and stable.

[0130] The membrane filtration circulation pump 4 adopts frequency conversion control. During the regeneration stage of the inorganic ceramic membrane filter, the filtration circulation pump frequency is reduced to the minimum, and the frequency is increased when the regeneration is completed and put into use. The whole process is controlled by the central control, which reduces manpower and keeps the regeneration time to the shortest.

[0131] The following describes a method for treating methanol-to-olefins wastewater according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is used for any of the above-mentioned methanol-to-olefins wastewater treatment systems.

[0133] The quench water booster pump 2 is used to send the quench water to the filter circulation tank 3, and then to the inorganic membrane filter 5 for filtration through the membrane filtration circulation pump 4. The inorganic membrane filter 5 is arranged vertically. After entering the inorganic membrane filter 5, the quench water is filtered by cross-flow. The filtered clear liquid goes to the stripping tower 6, and the concentrated liquid returns to the filter circulation pump for continuous circulation. The inorganic membrane filter 5 adopts a three-in-one standby mode, and each inorganic membrane filter 5 corresponds to a membrane filtration circulation pump 4.

[0134] A portion of the concentrated liquid (10% of the clear liquid production) is produced and sent to the quench water concentrated liquid storage tank 7, and then sent to the plate and frame filter press 9 for filtration via the concentrated liquid booster pump 8. The filtered clear liquid returns to the quench tower 1, and the filter cake formed by filtration is loaded onto a truck through a screw conveyor 10 for processing. The plate and frame filter press 9 adopts two in operation and one in reserve.

[0135] After a long period of operation, when the pressure difference between the clear liquid extraction side and the filter inlet pressure is greater than 0.25 MPaG, the inorganic ceramic membrane is regenerated. The regeneration equipment includes an alkaline washing liquid tank 13, an acid washing liquid tank 14, a cleaning liquid pump 15, a steam supply device 17, a nitrogen supply device 18, a fresh water supply device 19, and a demineralized water supply device.

[0136] The inorganic ceramic membrane to be regenerated is isolated by a programmable valve and the liquid is discharged to the quench water concentrate storage tank 7.

When the inorganic ceramic membrane is regenerated, the programmable valve is opened in sequence to drain, steam purge, alkali wash and nitrogen purge, fresh water rinse, acid wash and nitrogen purge, fresh water rinse, and desalted water rinse. After completing the above steps, the online cleaning of the inorganic ceramic membrane filter is completed.
