Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of slurry pipeline transportation, and particularly relates to a slurry concentration adjusting system and method for a settling-filtering centrifuge. BACKGROUND
[0002] The settling-filtering centrifuge plays a key role in the coal slurry dehydration process of pipeline transportation, and the solid-liquid separation efficiency directly affects the quality of the final product of the pipeline coal slurry. As a core control parameter, the settling-filtering centrifuge feeding concentration is generally high, far greater than the optimal feeding concentration of the settling-filtering centrifuge, under the condition of ensuring the transportation capacity and reliability, due to the influence of the front-end pipeline transportation process. The excessively high concentration will lead to an increase in the load of the settling-filtering centrifuge, a decrease in the separation efficiency, and even cause the equipment to be blocked. The excessively low concentration will reduce the processing capacity and increase the energy consumption. At present, the pipeline coal slurry is directly fed into the settling-filtering centrifuge dehydration system without concentration adjustment, which leads to poor solid-liquid separation effect of the settling-filtering centrifuge, high product moisture, and product quality that cannot meet the user requirements. In addition, the concentration change of the pipeline coal slurry leads to unstable operation of the settling-filtering centrifuge and high failure rate. SUMMARY

An outlet of the circulating water pool is connected to the centrifuge feeding buffer tank through a circulating water pipeline. A second flow meter and an electric ball valve are arranged on the circulating water pipeline. Centrifugal liquid of the settling-filtering centrifuge is connected to a centrifugal liquid barrel through a pipeline.

[0010] Further, the first flow meter, the concentration meter, the second flow meter, the electric ball valve and the pumps of the adjusting system are connected with a PLC control system.

[0029] like Figure 1 The system shown is a coal slurry concentration adjustment system for a sedimentation filter centrifuge feed, comprising a centrifuge feed buffer tank 5, a sedimentation filter centrifuge 6, and a circulating water tank 12. A first flow meter 3 and a concentration meter 4 are installed on the feed pipe of the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5. The outlet of the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation filter centrifuge 6. The outlet of the circulating water tank 12 is connected to the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 via a circulating water pipeline. A second flow meter 15 and an electric ball valve 14 are installed on the circulating water pipeline. The centrifuged liquid from the sedimentation filter centrifuge 6 is connected to a centrifuged liquid tank 7 via a pipeline. The outlet of the centrifuged liquid tank 7 is connected to the inlet of a thickener 10. The overflow port of the thickener 10 is connected to the inlet of the circulating water tank 12.
[0030] The feed pipe of the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 is connected to the slurry storage tank 1. The coal slurry in the storage tank 1 is transported to the centrifuge feed buffer tank by the feed pump 2. The dewatered product of the sedimentation filter centrifuge 6 is transferred to the product coal shed by the scraper conveyor.
[0031] The outlet of the centrifugal liquid tank 7 is connected to the inlet of the centrifugal liquid pump 8, the outlet of the centrifugal liquid pump 8 is connected to the thickener stabilizing tank 9, and the outlet of the thickener stabilizing tank 9 is connected to the inlet of the thickener 10. The underflow from the thickener 10 enters the dewatering system of the fine particle filter press via the underflow pump 11.
[0032] The outlet of the circulating water pool 12 is connected with the inlet of the dilution water pump 13, and the outlet of the dilution water pump 13 is connected to the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5. The first flow meter 3, the concentration meter 4, the second flow meter 15, the electric ball valve 14 and the pumps of the regulating system are connected with the PLC control system.
[0033] After the pipe coal slurry reaches the terminal station, it is stored in the slurry storage tank 1. The coal slurry in the slurry storage tank 1 is fed into the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 through the slurry feeding pump 2. The first flow meter 3 and the concentration meter 4 are installed on the centrifuge feed buffer tank feed pipeline for monitoring the flow and concentration of the coal slurry fed into the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5. The water for adjusting the concentration of the coal slurry in the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 comes from the circulating water pool 12. The water in the circulating water pool 12 is fed into the centrifuge feed buffer tank 5 through the dilution water pump 13. The second flow meter 15 and the electric ball valve 14 are arranged on the feed pipeline. The dewatered product of the settling and filtering type centrifuge 6 is transferred to the product coal shed through the scraper conveyor. The settling and filtering type centrifuge liquid enters the centrifuge liquid barrel 7, and then is transported to the thickener stable tank 9 through the centrifuge liquid pump 8 for buffering, and then enters the thickener 10 for concentration and clarification. The underflow of the thickener 10 enters the fine particle filter press dewatering system through the underflow pump 11. The overflow of the thickener 10 finally returns to the circulating water pool 12. Part of the circulating water in the circulating water pool 12 is used as dilution water, and the remaining part enters the wastewater treatment station.
[0034] The dilution to the target concentration is The target concentration is calculated by the following formula:

From the above formula, we can get:
[0037]
[0038] Therefore, according to the data measured by the flow meter 3 and the concentration meter 4 on the centrifuge feed buffer tank feed pipeline and the target concentration to be diluted, the actual dilution water amount can be detected by the second flow meter 15 arranged on the circulating water pipeline to control the opening size of the electric ball valve 14 on the circulating water pipeline, so that the dilution water flow and the required value reach dynamic balance.
[0039] When the coal slurry concentration of the feeding of the sedimentation filter centrifuge is 53%, the product moisture is high, through multiple test research, when the feeding concentration is about 40%, the dewatering effect of the sedimentation filter centrifuge is better, and the water content is below 22%. The application solves the technical problem of adjusting the best feeding concentration range of the sedimentation filter centrifuge in the high-concentration pipe-conveying coal slurry dewatering system.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: the specific embodiments of the present application can still be modified or replaced by the same, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
