Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial desalination, and particularly to a device and a method for preparing industrial desalted water. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing shortage of water resources, the decreasing annual available amount of surface water, and the increasing annual sewage discharge cost of enterprises, more and more enterprises use industrial sewage instead of surface water as the raw water for industrial desalted water preparation. At the same time, the sewage reuse project has also been widely implemented in China. However, the salt content in industrial sewage is often relatively high, which is difficult to treat and cannot meet the requirements of industrial production and reclaimed water quality. Especially in the chemical industry, in recent years, the application scope and application standards of industrial desalted water in the chemical industry have been continuously expanding and increasing. High-quality desalted water can not only improve the use efficiency but also play a certain role in protecting equipment. Therefore, the development of its preparation process technology has also become a key concern in the chemical industry, which also forces the continuous development and improvement of desalted water treatment technology.
[0003] The desalted water treatment process generally refers to the process of removing strong conductive substances in water and, to a certain extent, removing weak electrolytes such as carbon dioxide in water, which can also be called pure water treatment process or deep desalted water. Currently, the relatively mature desalted water treatment processes on the market include electrodialysis method, ion exchange method, reverse osmosis method, EDI method, etc.
[0004] Ion exchange process: The traditional desalted water treatment process is mainly the full ion exchange process of pretreatment + cation bed + anion bed + mixed bed. The conventional pretreatment methods for surface water are mostly multi-media filtration + activated carbon filtration. The full ion exchange can make the quality of the effluent stable and meet the standards. Experiments have proved that the traditional treatment process is relatively mature, but it also has certain limitations. Due to the limitations of pretreatment and ion exchange processes, the traditional process has defects such as occupying a large amount of space by equipment, complex operation, frequent maintenance, unstable effluent quality, etc. And during the treatment process, flocculants need to be added, consuming a large amount of acid and alkali, which will also cause certain pollution to the environment.
[0005] Full membrane method desalted water process: The full membrane method desalted water process is an organic combination of different membrane processes such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and EDI to achieve efficient removal of pollutants and deep desalination. Its characteristics are high investment, modular combination, less land occupation, convenient operation, replacing ion exchange desalination with reverse osmosis to remove dissolved salts in water; replacing mixed bed deep desalination with EDI, and using electricity instead of acid and alkali to regenerate the resin, which can avoid acid and alkali, but has high power consumption.
[0006] Dual-membrane method + IX desalinated water preparation process: The dual-membrane method + IX desalinated water preparation process combines the ultrafiltration / reverse osmosis dual-membrane method and the traditional mixed-bed process, and is a new process designed according to on-site conditions. Its characteristics are moderate investment, convenient operation, and moderate operating costs.
[0007] Currently, the dual-membrane method with post-treatment is the main desalination treatment process in the market. However, in the current process, the water production recovery rate is between 60% and 75%, resulting in a large amount of water resource loss. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the background technology, the present invention provides a device for preparing industrial desalinated water with a high recovery rate and low operating cost.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention: A device for preparing industrial desalinated water includes a raw water tank, a heat exchanger, a self-cleaning filter, an ultrafiltration module, an ultrafiltration water tank, a reverse osmosis module, a reverse osmosis product water tank, a mixed bed, and a desalinated water tank connected in sequence. A concentrated water reuse module is provided between the reverse osmosis module and the reverse osmosis product water tank. The concentrated water reuse module includes a reverse osmosis concentrated water collection tank with a reverse osmosis membrane, a hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane module connected to the reverse osmosis concentrated water collection tank, and a reverse osmosis raw water tank connected to the hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane module. The reverse osmosis raw water tank is respectively connected to the reverse osmosis concentrated water collection tank and the reverse osmosis product water tank.
[0010] A nanofiltration raw water pump for discharging reverse osmosis concentrated water into the hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane module is provided in the reverse osmosis concentrated water collection tank.
[0011] The reverse osmosis raw water tank and the hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane module are both provided with mud discharge ports.
[0012] It further includes a backwash water reuse module. The backwash water reuse module includes a backwash water collection pool and a high-efficiency sand filter. The backwash water collection pool is respectively connected to the self-cleaning filter, the ultrafiltration module, and the high-efficiency sand filter. The high-efficiency sand filter is connected to the raw water tank.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: This technical solution performs secondary treatment on the reverse osmosis concentrated water of the desalinated water process through the combination of a hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane module and a reverse osmosis membrane, improving the recovery rate of the desalinated water process from 60% - 75% to over 92%. In addition, it can reduce the chemical dosage in the water treatment process and reduce the wastewater discharge. The operating cost is much lower than the traditional process, and it has good energy-saving effects. Brief Description of the Drawings
