Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical analysis and industrial online monitoring of denitration systems in thermal power plants, and relates to an intelligent sewage discharge system and method for a urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring. Background Art
[0002] When thermal power plants use the urea hydrolysis process to produce ammonia for flue gas denitrification, chloride ions are an "invisible killer" of corrosion in the urea hydrolyzer itself. Chloride ion control runs through the entire process of "raw material purification - material selection - process design - real-time monitoring." In urea hydrolysis systems, the presence of chloride ions has a significant impact on the corrosion behavior of the equipment itself (especially metal structures). Chloride ions can originate from impurities in the raw urea, process water (such as steam condensate), or equipment cleaning residues. Most thermal power plants discharge urea hydrolyzer wastewater based on empirical cycles. Statistics show that at 150°C and a chloride ion concentration of 50 mg / L, the annual corrosion rate of 316L stainless steel can reach 0.3-0.5 mm / a. Furthermore, the presence of chloride ions can easily cause pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Therefore, controlling chloride ions within the hydrolyzer is crucial to the safe operation of the denitrification system, as severe conditions can lead to system shutdown or even accidents. Existing chloride ion monitoring mainly relies on manual titration methods (such as the molar method and potentiometric titration). However, ammonia and ammonium ions in the hydrolyzate react with silver nitrate to form silver-ammonium complexes. If tested using traditional testing methods, excessive consumption of the titrant (silver nitrate) will result, which cannot truly reflect the chloride ion level in the hydrolyzer, resulting in uncontrolled discharge cycles and increased equipment corrosion risks. Based on the above problems, it is now necessary to develop a chloride ion monitoring method with strong anti-interference, accurate and fast performance to effectively guide the intelligent discharge of urea hydrolyzers in denitrification systems, thereby alleviating the corrosion of the urea hydrolyzer itself during the urea hydrolysis process. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide an intelligent sewage discharge system and method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring. The system and method can guide the intelligent sewage discharge of the urea hydrolyzer and alleviate the corrosion of the urea hydrolyzer body caused by the urea hydrolysis process.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention discloses an intelligent sewage discharge system for a urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring, comprising a urea hydrolyzer, a plate heat exchanger, a sewage discharge barrel, a dilution unit and an automatic online chloride ion monitoring device;
[0005] The outlet of the urea hydrolyzer is connected to the inlet of the shell side of the plate heat exchanger through a blowdown sampling valve. The outlet of the shell side of the plate heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the blowdown bucket. The outlet of the blowdown bucket is successively connected to the inlet of the dilution unit through a variable-frequency injection pump, a filter, and a resin exchange column. The outlet of the dilution unit is connected to the inlet of the automatic on-line chloride ion monitoring device through a variable-frequency injection pump and a water inlet pipe. The outlet of the automatic on-line chloride ion monitoring device is connected to the inlet of the blowdown bucket through a return water pipe. A blowdown valve is connected to the blowdown port of the blowdown bucket.
[0006] A further improvement of the intelligent blowdown system for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring according to the present invention lies in:
[0007] Further, the dilution unit includes a container, a nitric acid automatic adding device, a silver nitrate automatic adding device, and a demineralized water automatic adding device. The outlet of the resin exchange column is connected to the inlet of the container. A stirrer is arranged in the container. The outlets of the nitric acid automatic adding device, the silver nitrate automatic adding device, and the demineralized water automatic adding device are connected to the inlet of the container.
[0008] Further, it also includes an automated intelligent control module panel. The automated intelligent control module panel is connected to the blowdown sampling valve, the blowdown valve, the variable-frequency injection pump, the stirrer, the nitric acid automatic adding device, the silver nitrate automatic adding device, the demineralized water automatic adding device, and the automatic on-line chloride ion monitoring device through connecting wires.
[0009] Further, it also includes a cooling water inlet pipe and a cooling water outlet pipe. The cooling water inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the tube side of the plate heat exchanger. The cooling water outlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the tube side of the plate heat exchanger.
[0010] Further, the filter uses a 0.45μm filter element for filtration.
[0011] Further, the resin exchange column uses hydrogen-type cation resin to remove cations.
[0012] Further, the dilution ratio of the dilution unit is controlled by the automated intelligent control module panel.
[0013] Further, a scale is arranged on the container.
[0014] Further, the automated intelligent control module panel has the function of transmitting data to the cloud in real time and supporting remote monitoring and alarm.
[0015] The present invention discloses an intelligent blowdown method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring, including the following steps:
[0016] Open the blowdown sampling valve. The blowdown liquid of the urea hydrolyzer is cooled by a plate heat exchanger and then stored in a blowdown bucket. The blowdown liquid in the blowdown bucket enters a filter through a variable-frequency injection pump to remove suspended solids, and then enters a resin exchange column to remove cations in the blowdown liquid. It then enters a dilution unit for dilution, and then nitric acid and silver nitrate are added respectively to remove ammonia and react to form silver chloride precipitation. After the reaction is complete, the sample enters an automatic online chlorine ion monitoring device through a variable-frequency injection pump for monitoring. When the measured chlorine ion concentration is within the standard curve range, it is determined whether the measured chlorine ion concentration is greater than or equal to the set threshold. When the measured chlorine ion concentration ≥ the set threshold, control the blowdown sampling valve and the blowdown valve to conduct blowdown; when the measured chlorine ion concentration < the set threshold, keep the blowdown sampling valve in the closed state and maintain the continuous operation of the urea hydrolyzer; when the measured chlorine ion concentration continues to exceed the standard curve range, control the dilution unit to continue diluting until the measured chlorine ion concentration meets the standard curve range.
[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] When the intelligent blowdown system and method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chlorine ion monitoring according to the present invention are specifically operated, continuous sampling is carried out from the bottom of the urea hydrolyzer, and after cooling and pretreatment, the chlorine ion content is monitored online. By comparing the measured chlorine ion content with the preset value, the blowdown frequency and blowdown volume of the urea hydrolyzer are automatically adjusted, and the chlorine ion concentration of the blowdown liquid of the urea hydrolyzer is controlled within the standard curve range. The chlorine ion content of the urea solution is used to guide the intelligent blowdown in the urea hydrolysis process, thereby effectively alleviating the corrosion of the urea hydrolyzer body during the urea hydrolysis process; compared with the traditional testing and blowdown methods, this system can intelligently control the blowdown of the urea hydrolyzer and has simple operation, and at the same time provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the flue gas denitration process in thermal power plants.
[0019] Furthermore, the automation intelligent control module panel integrates functions of filtration, dilution, and masking. By adding an acidic medium (nitric acid), the decomposition of urea is inhibited, the interference of NH3 is reduced, and at the same time, the interference of metal cations is selectively removed by pretreatment with hydrogen-type cation resin. Finally, the chlorine ion content is monitored in real time by an online spectrophotometer, and the data is transmitted to the cloud in real time, supporting remote monitoring and alarm functions to avoid manual operation errors.

[0042] Example 2
[0043] This embodiment discloses an intelligent sewage discharge method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring. The intelligent sewage discharge method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring is realized based on the intelligent sewage discharge system for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring. The intelligent sewage discharge system for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring includes a sewage sampling valve 1, a plate heat exchanger 2, a cooling water inlet pipe 3, a cooling water outlet pipe 4, a sewage bucket 5, a sewage discharge valve 6, a variable-frequency injection pump 7, a filter 8, a resin exchange column 9, a dilution unit 10, a container 11, a stirrer 12, a nitric acid automatic adding device 13, a silver nitrate automatic adding device 14, a demineralized water automatic adding device 15, a chloride ion automatic on-line monitoring device 16, a raw water pipe 17, a return water pipe 18, an automated intelligent control module panel 19 and a connecting wire 20. The specific connection relationship is as shown in Example 1.
[0044] Specifically, the intelligent sewage discharge method for the urea hydrolysis process based on chloride ion monitoring includes the following steps:
[0045] Open the sewage sampling valve 1. The sewage discharge liquid of the urea hydrolyzer is cooled by the plate heat exchanger 2 and then stored in the sewage bucket 5. The sewage discharge liquid in the sewage bucket 5 enters the filter 8 through the variable-frequency injection pump 7 to remove suspended solids, and then enters the resin exchange column 9 to remove cations such as ammonium, iron, and calcium in the sewage discharge liquid. Then it enters the dilution unit 10 for dilution, and then nitric acid and silver nitrate are added respectively for ammonia removal and reaction to generate silver chloride precipitate. During the reaction, the temperature control systems of the stirrer 12 and the container 11 are always in the open state.
