TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coolant glycol purification, in particular to a coolant glycol high-efficiency purification system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the methionine production field, the complex process steps have strict requirements for temperature control, especially in the low-temperature reaction and material cooling process, which puts forward high standards for the performance of the coolant. Glycol can maintain liquid state in extreme temperature environment due to its excellent low-temperature fluidity and stable heat transfer, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the refrigeration system. At the same time, its sensitive response to temperature changes can realize precise regulation of the reaction system temperature, effectively avoiding the problem of unstable product quality caused by temperature fluctuations. In addition, glycol has good compatibility with various media in the methionine production process and is not easy to react chemically, which can ensure the safety and reliability of the production process, so it has become an ideal coolant widely used in the industry.
[0003] However, during long-term operation, the glycol cooling system faces multiple technical problems: on the one hand, the heat transfer efficiency is significantly reduced due to the formation of a heat insulation layer on the wall of the heat exchange pipe caused by temperature difference accumulation; on the other hand, the introduction of inorganic and organic impurities during operation causes an imbalance in ion concentration, leading to liquid suspension or emulsification, which destroys the stability of the system; in addition, glycol is prone to oxidation, causing the system to acidify and accelerating the degree of equipment corrosion, shortening the service life of the equipment. The existing treatment technology mainly uses a single purification method, which is difficult to realize the coordinated regulation of impurity removal, ion purification and system acid-base balance, and lacks an automatic control mechanism, which cannot accurately adapt to water quality fluctuations under different working conditions, resulting in low purification efficiency and high equipment maintenance cost.

[0042] c. The four sets of systems are independent, and the water introduced and the ethylene glycol lost during treatment need to be calculated and added separately.
[0043] d. The four sets of systems are independent, and continuous or intermittent treatment each has advantages and disadvantages.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2 The application also provides an efficient coolant glycol purification method based on the efficient coolant glycol purification system.
[0072] S1, pretreatment flocculation turbidity removal
[0073] The coolant glycol GW to be treated is delivered by the GW transfer-in pump to the decoloring tank, 20% concentrated ammonia water is injected to adjust the pH to about 9.5 (first stage), after uniform stirring, 20% ferrous sulfate solution is injected at about 0.1-1% until the color becomes black green and there is no white suspended matter, after stirring for 5-20 min, 0.1-0.5% of activated carbon dry powder is added and stirring is continued for 10-30 min, finally 0.1% PAM is added dropwise with a maximum of 0.2% and uniform stirring is performed, and then the filter is started.
[0074] Under the action of the stirrer, the ferrous sulfate hydrolysis forms flocculation bodies to adsorb suspended matter, the activated carbon adsorbs pigments and organic matter, and the PAM promotes flocculation body coagulation and sedimentation; the pH value is adjusted to 9.5 by real-time monitoring of the concentrated ammonia water by the pH sensor, and the treated mixed liquid flows into the filter.
[0075] S2, flow splitting and cation removal by the cation bed
[0076] The filtered liquid is dynamically distributed to different treatment paths according to the water quality detection results at the flow splitting node:
[0077] The first flow splitting branch: as a high ammonia nitrogen wastewater branch, the wastewater with NH4 + > threshold value enters the D101 resin tank filled with strong acid cation exchange resin to remove ammonium ions NH4 + and other cations by ion exchange. In the first flow splitting branch, the filtrate only uses D101 resin adsorption to remove excess ammonia into the system, the weak acid resin has a large capacity and has a small effect on the water content of the system, but the salt-forming ions cannot be removed.
[0078] The second flow splitting branch: as a conventional wastewater branch, the wastewater with NH4 + < threshold value enters the D001 cation bed tank filled with strong acid styrene cation exchange resin to deeply remove cations. In the second flow splitting branch, the filtrate enters the D001 cation bed tank, is soaked, and then flows into the buffer tank (pH < 3) by itself, the buffer tank flows into the D201 anion bed tank (pH about 7-8, the pH of the first few batches may be greater than 8, and the pH is adjusted after mixing with the last batches), is soaked, and then flows into the temporary storage tank by itself, and a large amount of D001 resin is used.
[0079] In addition, the filtrate can also use D101 resin adsorption, excess ammonia is removed into D001 positive bed tank, soak after self-flow into buffer tank (pH <3), buffer tank into D201 negative bed tank (pH about 7~8, the first batch of pH because D201 can be greater than 8, and adjust the pH after mixing with the latter batch), soak after self-flow into the temporary storage tank. The advantages of the first shunt branch and the second shunt branch are combined, but a set of resin tank needs to be added.
[0080] The D101 resin tank and D001 resin tank both use countercurrent regeneration process, and 5% sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid solution is injected regularly, and pure water is washed to restore the exchange capacity of the resin.
[0081] S3, buffering and pH adjustment
[0082] The liquid treated by the D101 resin tank and the D001 resin tank flows into the first buffer tank and the second buffer tank respectively; real-time monitoring can also be performed through the pH sensor, and dilute sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide solution is added to the buffer tank to accurately adjust the pH value to 7.0±0.5, so as to ensure that the liquid entering the negative bed tank is neutral and avoid the impact of acid and alkali on the negative bed resin.
[0083] S4, negative bed de-anion
[0084] The buffered liquid is combined into the D201 negative bed tank, which is filled with strong basic styrene anion exchange resin. When the outlet conductivity of the conductivity instrument is greater than 10 μS / cm, the regeneration program is triggered, that is, 5% sodium hydroxide solution is first injected, and then pure water is washed to neutral to restore the adsorption capacity of the resin.
[0085] Among them, before the regeneration of the resin, the dry resin is controlled, the valve of the resin tank is closed, acid and alkali solution is added for soaking, and after the soaking is completed, the desalinated water is soaked several times and then sprayed to neutral and chloride and sodium ion <50ppm. Controlling the dry resin requires a certain amount of time to ensure that less water is introduced. In order to reduce the loss of GW, a small amount of water can be used to spray the resin before regeneration.
[0086] In addition, before the next step, five-step intermittent regeneration can also be performed, and the process is as follows:
[0087] When the inlet and outlet conductivity difference of the resin tank is less than or equal to 5 μS / cm, the five-step regeneration process is started:
[0088] a. Vacuum drying: turn on the vacuum unit (-0.05 MPa) to quickly drain the residual ethylene glycol between the resin layers and recover to the temporary storage tank.
[0089] b. Pulse regeneration: through the pulse regeneration pump, the regenerant (acid / alkali solution) and compressed air are alternately injected to form pulse shock and strengthen the regeneration effect.
[0090] c. Temperature change flushing: first flush with 40℃ hot water for 5min, then flush with 25℃ pure water until pH neutral, remove residual regenerant.
[0091] d. Ultrasonic activation: start the ultrasonic control cabinet (40kHz), make the resin particles vibrate at high frequency, strip the adsorbed impurities, and restore activity.
[0092] e. Gradient water replenishment: inject pure water according to 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% gradient, balance the water content of the resin layer, and prevent sudden changes from causing breakage.
[0093] S5, closed loop verification and reuse of purified liquid
[0094] The treated ethylene glycol is stored in a temporary storage tank and is monitored in real time by an online conductivity meter and a pH sensor. If the conductivity is greater than 10 μS / cm or the pH is out of the range of 6.5-7.5, it is automatically returned to the D201 negative bed tank for secondary treatment. When the standard is met, it is delivered to the refrigeration system for circulation by a frequency conversion pump. Meanwhile, a PLC control cabinet optimizes the parameters of each link according to historical data, including the amount of reagent added and the regeneration cycle, to form a closed loop control system, ensuring the purification efficiency and stability.
[0095] In view of the problem that the high color and turbidity of ethylene glycol leads to low heat transfer efficiency of the internal system, the present application adopts a flocculation impurity removal color and turbidity removal process. By adding a flocculating agent, suspended particles in water are aggregated to form flocculent bodies, which adsorb organic impurities in water, further efficiently removing the color and turbidity of ethylene glycol, improving the color and turbidity removal effect, and realizing that the turbidity test is not higher than 10 NTU and the colority test is not higher than 50 APHA.
[0096] In view of the problem that ethylene glycol contains a large amount of inorganic impurities during long-term use, and the ions are over-standard, leading to serious corrosion of pipe equipment. The present application adopts an ion exchange process, fills cation and anion exchange resins, adsorbs cation and anion impurities in ethylene glycol, deeply removes inorganic impurities in the running process of ethylene glycol, realizes that the chloride ion is <700 ppm, the sulfate radical is <2500 ppm, the iron is <2 ppm, and the total alkalinity is <1100 ppm.
[0097] To sum up, the application realizes intelligent regulation and control of the whole purification process by the cooperation of the PLC control unit and multiple types of sensors, and accurately adapts to different water quality conditions; the pretreatment reagent device cooperates with the decoloring tank and the filter to effectively remove suspended solids, pigments and impurities, thereby providing basic conditions for subsequent treatment. The double shunt branch cooperates with the D101 resin tank, the D001 positive bed tank and the D201 negative bed tank to form a multi-stage ion exchange system, and specifically removes anions, cations and ammonia nitrogen.
