Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and relates to a feedforward warning and control method and system for a pH adjustment tank in an industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] The wastewater generated by thermal power plants often contains acids or alkalis. During the wastewater treatment process, it is necessary to neutralize the corresponding acids or alkalis in the pH adjustment tank according to the results measured by the on-line instrument. When adding acids or alkalis, the stirring device of the pH adjustment device will also be started simultaneously to fully mix the added acid or alkali agents with the wastewater, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling the pH. However, in field applications, after the acid or alkali agents are added and stirred and mixed by the stirrer, affected by the long measurement time of the pH meter, the measured data has a delay. It is difficult to accurately control the dosage and dosing time of the added medicine. When the input amount of the added medicine is small, the pH cannot be controlled within the required range. When the medicine is added in excess, there is not only a risk of overshoot, but also a waste of the medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and provide a feedforward warning and control method and system for a pH adjustment tank in an industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant, which can adjust the pH value of the wastewater in the industrial wastewater system.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention discloses a feedforward warning and control method for a pH adjustment tank in an industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant, including:

[0005] Measuring the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump;

[0006] Controlling the operation of the alkali dosing metering pump and the acid dosing metering pump according to the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump.

[0007] A further improvement of the feedforward warning and control method for a pH adjustment tank in the industrial wastewater system of the thermal power plant according to the present invention is as follows:

[0008] Further, when the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump is less than 6.5, calculate the running time t of the alkali dosing metering pump within a cycle T, and control the alkali dosing metering pump to add alkali solution to the wastewater according to the calculated running time t of the alkali dosing metering pump within a cycle T.

[0009] Further, the calculation formula for the running time t of the alkali dosing metering pump within a cycle T is:

[0010] t / T = 5Q(10 -E -10 -F ) / 54qp

[0011] Wherein, E is the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump measured, q is the rated output of the alkali dosing metering pump, p is the stroke of the alkali dosing metering pump, F is the target pH value, and Q is the flow rate at the main pipe outlet of the wastewater transfer pump.

[0012] Further, within the statistical period T, the actual working duration of the alkali dosing metering pump is counted. When the calculated running time t of the alkali dosing metering pump is not equal to the actual working duration of the alkali dosing metering pump, an alarm signal is sent and the alarm signal is pushed to the operating personnel to remind them to replenish the medicine or stop dosing in time.

[0013] Further, when the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump is greater than 8.5, the running time t of the acid dosing metering pump within a period T is calculated, and the acid dosing metering pump is controlled to add acid liquid to the wastewater according to the calculated running time t of the acid dosing metering pump within a period T.

[0014] Further, the calculation formula for the running time t of the acid dosing metering pump within a period T is:

[0015] t / T = 36.5Q(10 -14+K -10 -14+L ) / 371.2qp

[0016] Wherein, K is the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump measured, q is the rated output of the acid dosing pump, p is the stroke of the acid dosing pump, L is the target pH value, and Q is the flow rate at the main pipe outlet of the wastewater transfer pump.

[0017] Further, within the statistical period T, the actual working duration of the acid dosing metering pump is counted. When the calculated running time t of the acid dosing metering pump is not equal to the actual working duration of the acid dosing metering pump, an alarm signal is sent and the alarm signal is pushed to the operating personnel to remind them to replenish the medicine or stop dosing in time.

[0018] The present invention discloses a feed-forward early warning system for the pH adjustment tank of the industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant, including:

[0019] A measurement module for measuring the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump;

[0020] A control module for controlling the operation of the alkali dosing metering pump and the acid dosing metering pump according to the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump.

[0021] The present invention discloses a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the feed-forward early warning and control method for the pH adjustment tank of the industrial wastewater system of the thermal power plant are implemented.

[0022] The present invention discloses a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the pH adjustment tank feedforward warning and control method for the industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] When the pH adjustment tank feedforward warning and control method and system for the industrial wastewater system of a thermal power plant according to the present invention are specifically operated, according to the pH value of the water at the outlet of the wastewater transfer pump, the alkali dosing metering pump and the acid dosing metering pump are controlled to work to achieve the feedforward control of the pH adjustment tank. At the same time, within the statistical period T, the actual working duration of the alkali dosing metering pump is counted. When the calculated operating time t of the alkali dosing metering pump is not equal to the actual working duration of the alkali dosing metering pump, an alarm signal is issued; within the statistical period T, the actual working duration of the acid dosing metering pump is counted. When the calculated operating time t of the acid dosing metering pump is not equal to the actual working duration of the acid dosing metering pump, an alarm signal is issued, preventing insufficient dosing from causing the pH not to meet the effluent water quality conditions of the industrial wastewater system, and at the same time, excessive dosing resulting in waste of drugs and causing consequences such as environmental unfriendliness or uneconomicalness.
