Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention specifically relates to a system and method for preventing marine organism attachment in a water treatment system of an offshore converter station, belonging to the field of offshore wind power flexible DC transmission technology. Background Technology
[0002] As an auxiliary device for offshore converter stations, the seawater cooling system (water treatment system) cools the converter valves to ensure stable operation of the valve assembly. Offshore converter stations operate in eutrophic marine environments, making the pipes and equipment of the seawater cooling system and fire-fighting water system highly susceptible to attachment by marine organisms (such as barnacles, mussels, oysters, tube worms, algae, and hydra). The proliferation of marine organisms leads to: reduced effective flow cross-sectional area in the pipes, increased flow resistance, and a significant decrease in heat exchange efficiency; increased pump energy consumption; accelerated metal corrosion; blockage of filters, valves, nozzles, and heat exchanger tube bundles; and in severe cases, even system shutdown, threatening the safe and stable operation of the converter station and causing huge economic losses.

[0027] The upper limit value ΔP_set2 and the lower limit value ΔP_set1 of the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the coarse filter are preset by the integrated control cabinet.
[0028] The inlet and outlet pressures of the coarse filtration unit are monitored by a first pressure transmitter and a second pressure transmitter. The integrated control cabinet obtains the actual inlet and outlet pressure difference ΔP of the coarse filtration unit based on the monitored inlet and outlet pressures.
[0029] If ΔP < ΔP_set1, the seawater pumped out by the seawater pump undergoes dual filtration through a coarse filter and a self-cleaning filter before being circulated into the seawater side of the seawater cooling system.
[0030] A portion of the seawater output from the self-cleaning filter is fed into an electrolysis device for electrolysis, generating a sodium hypochlorite solution that can sterilize seawater. This solution is then stored in a sodium hypochlorite storage tank, and a dosing pump delivers the sodium hypochlorite solution to the inlet of a seawater pump.
[0031] If ΔP_set1 ≤ ΔP < ΔP_set2, the system is in a high-load / high-risk state. The integrated control cabinet controls the coarse filter to start the backwashing or cleaning function and issues an alarm message.

The acoustic transducer emits ultrasonic waves to suppress slime and works synergistically with the sodium hypochlorite solution to achieve enhanced treatment of marine organisms and decontamination of seawater.
[0033] When the system is under high load / high risk, the integrated control cabinet controls the acoustic transducer to operate at rated power, adjusts the current of the electrolysis unit and controls the flow rate of the dosing pump, and the sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit operates at maximum output. At this time, the target residual chlorine concentration C of the sodium hypochlorite solution is... TRC The concentration is 0.5-0.7 mg / L.
[0034] In the second technical solution mentioned above, when ΔP < ΔP_set1, the integrated control cabinet monitors the seawater temperature T and the target residual chlorine concentration C of the sodium hypochlorite solution in real time through temperature transmitters, residual chlorine transmitters, and flow transmitters. TRC and the actual seawater flow rate Q output by the seawater pump cw ,
[0035] If Q cw With a concentration of <30% Q_design and a seawater temperature T <10℃, the system is under high load / high risk. The integrated control cabinet controls the acoustic transducer to operate at rated power, adjusts the current of the electrolysis unit, and controls the flow rate of the dosing pump. The sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit operates at maximum output. At this time, the target residual chlorine concentration C of the sodium hypochlorite solution is... TRC The concentration is 0.5-0.7 mg / L, where the rated seawater flow rate of the seawater pump is Q_design.
[0036] If 30%·Q_design<Q cw<80%·Q_design, and seawater temperature 10℃<T<25℃, the system is in medium load / standard state. The integrated control cabinet controls the acoustic transducer to operate at rated power, adjusts the current of the electrolysis device and controls the flow rate of the dosing pump. The sodium hypochlorite solution exhibits PID control, and the target residual chlorine concentration C TRC The concentration is 0.3-0.5 mg / L.

[0039] ΔP=P in -P out
[0040] The unit of ΔP is kPa or bar.
[0041] In the second technical solution described above, the calculation of the sodium hypochlorite solution dosage, i.e., the output flow rate of the dosing pump, is as follows:

[0044] Q cw The actual seawater flow rate of the seawater pump, in meters per second (m³). 3 / h,
[0045] C TRC Target residual chlorine concentration, in g / m³ 3 That is, mg / L.
[0046] ε: Current efficiency of the electrolysis device.
[0047] ρ: Density of sodium hypochlorite solution
[0048] % active : Effective concentration of sodium hypochlorite solution.
[0049] In the second technical solution described above, the current efficiency ε of the electrolysis device is 0.7-0.85, the density ρ of the sodium hypochlorite solution is approximately 1.02 kg / L, and the effective concentration % of the sodium hypochlorite solution is... active It is 6-10 g / L.
[0050] In the second technical solution described above, the formula for calculating the DC current of the electrolysis device is as follows:
[0051] I_set=(Q NaClO % active ) / (k·ε)
[0052] Where k is the yield of the electrolysis unit, and the unit is kg / (kA·h), which means the number of kilograms of available chlorine that can be produced per kA current for one hour of operation.
[0053] In the second technical solution mentioned above, the dosing mode of the dosing pump includes impact dosing and continuous dosing. The time interval of impact dosing and the time of continuous dosing are set by the integrated control cabinet. When the system is in a low load / low risk state, the dosing pump operates in the continuous dosing mode. When the system is in a high load / high risk state, the dosing pump operates in the impact dosing mode.
[0054] The positive effects of this invention are: the marine biofouling prevention and control system and method of the offshore converter station water treatment system of this invention includes a seawater filtration unit, a sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit, a monitoring unit, and a sound wave generating unit.

The outlet of the seawater pump is connected to the inlet of the coarse filter, the outlet of the coarse filter is connected to the inlet of the self-cleaning filter, and the outlet of the self-cleaning filter is connected to an external seawater cooling system.
[0056] The sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit includes an electrolysis device, a sodium hypochlorite storage tank, and a dosing pump.

The first pressure transmitter, second pressure transmitter, temperature transmitter, residual chlorine transmitter, and flow transmitter are electrically connected to their respective connection terminals in the comprehensive control cabinet.
[0058] The acoustic wave generating unit includes a rectifier cabinet and an acoustic wave transducer. The acoustic wave transducer is located on one side of the seawater pump, and the rectifier cabinet supplies power to the electrolysis device and the acoustic wave transducer.
[0059] The seawater pump, coarse filter, self-cleaning filter, dosing pump, and acoustic transducer are electrically connected to their respective connection terminals in the integrated control cabinet, and the rectifier cabinet is electrically connected to the integrated control cabinet.
[0060] The treatment method includes: pre-setting the upper limit value ΔP_set2 and the lower limit value ΔP_set1 of the inlet and outlet pressure difference of the coarse filter device in the integrated control cabinet; monitoring the inlet and outlet pressures of the coarse filter device by the first and second pressure transmitters; and obtaining the actual inlet and outlet pressure difference ΔP of the coarse filter device from the monitored inlet and outlet pressures by the integrated control cabinet.
[0061] If ΔP < ΔP_set1, the seawater pumped out by the seawater pump undergoes dual filtration through a coarse filter and a self-cleaning filter before being circulated into the seawater side of the seawater cooling system.
[0062] A portion of the seawater output from the self-cleaning filter is fed into an electrolysis device for electrolysis, generating a sodium hypochlorite solution that can sterilize seawater. This solution is then stored in a sodium hypochlorite storage tank, and a dosing pump delivers the sodium hypochlorite solution to the inlet of a seawater pump.
[0063] If ΔP_set1 ≤ ΔP < ΔP_set2, the system is in a high-load / high-risk state. The integrated control cabinet controls the coarse filter to start the backwashing or cleaning function and issues an alarm message.
[0064] If ΔP ≥ ΔP_set2, the system becomes clogged and is in a high-load / high-risk state. The integrated control cabinet controls the coarse filter to start the backwashing or cleaning function, and at the same time issues a "system load reduction" request and interlocks to reduce the operating frequency of the seawater pump. The acoustic transducer emits ultrasonic waves to suppress slime and works synergistically with the sodium hypochlorite solution to complete the enhanced treatment of marine organisms and decontamination of seawater.
[0065] The sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit and the sound wave generating unit described in this invention act at the front end of the seawater pump. Through the cooperation of different treatment units, the sterilization effect is enhanced, and the development of drug resistance in some organisms is avoided. At the same time, the cooperation of multiple biocidal devices and the use of different sterilization modes for different environmental conditions not only reduces energy consumption but also avoids the increased cleaning costs caused by rapid contamination of seawater pipelines due to malfunctions in a single treatment system.
[0066] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0067] Firstly, this invention treats marine organisms using a combination of physical and chemical methods, effectively avoiding the development of drug resistance and ineffectiveness in marine organisms caused by a single agent. It significantly improves the control efficiency for various marine organisms (shellfish, algae, tube worms, etc.) and effectively ensures the system's flow capacity and heat exchange efficiency.
[0068] Secondly, priority should be given to using electrolysis and physical methods to minimize the use of chemical agents and reduce ecological impact.
[0069] Third, intelligent monitoring and early warning can promptly detect potential problems; multiple technologies serve as backups for each other (such as using ultrasound and reagents in case of electrolysis failure) to improve the overall reliability of the system. Attached Figure Description

[0082] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, to prevent the seawater pump from being directly exposed to the seawater environment and to avoid corrosion from the seawater environment, the seawater pump 1 is installed below the sea level, and the outer periphery of the seawater pump 1 is equipped with a seawater pump protective sleeve 15 that isolates it from the seawater environment. The seawater pump protective sleeve 15 can effectively filter out some marine organisms that directly adhere to the seawater pump, thus extending the service life of the seawater pump.
[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the seawater pump and the acoustic transducer, and to ensure that the sodium hypochlorite solution can be uniformly added to the inlet of the seawater pump, the seawater pump protective sleeve 15 includes a sleeve housing 151, an acoustic transducer mounting plate 152, a reagent dosing distribution plate 153, and a filter grid / screen 154.

[0100] The inlet and outlet pressures of the coarse filter device 2 are monitored by the first pressure transmitter 101 and the second pressure transmitter 102. The integrated control cabinet 8 obtains the actual inlet and outlet pressure difference ΔP of the coarse filter device 2 based on the monitored inlet and outlet pressures.
[0101] If ΔP < ΔP_set1, the seawater pumped by the seawater pump 1 undergoes dual filtration through the coarse filter 2 and the self-cleaning filter 3 before being circulated into the seawater side of the seawater cooling system.
[0102] A portion of the seawater output from the self-cleaning filter 3 is fed into the electrolysis device 4 for electrolysis, generating a sodium hypochlorite solution that can sterilize seawater. This solution is then stored in the sodium hypochlorite storage tank 5, and the sodium hypochlorite solution is pumped to the inlet of the seawater pump 1 using the dosing pump 6.
[0103] If ΔP_set1 ≤ ΔP < ΔP_set2, the system is in a high-load / high-risk state. The integrated control cabinet 8 controls the coarse filter 2 to start the backwashing or cleaning function and issues an alarm message.
[0104] If ΔP ≥ ΔP_set2, the system becomes clogged and is in a high-load / high-risk state. The integrated control cabinet 8 controls the coarse filter 2 to start the backwashing or cleaning function, simultaneously issuing a "system load reduction" request and interlocking to reduce the operating frequency of the seawater pump 1. The acoustic transducer 9 emits ultrasonic waves to suppress slime and works synergistically with the sodium hypochlorite solution to achieve enhanced treatment of marine organisms and decontamination of seawater.

The sodium hypochlorite solution generating unit operates at maximum output. At this time, the target residual chlorine concentration C of the sodium hypochlorite solution is... TRC The concentration is 0.5-0.7 mg / L, wherein the rated seawater flow rate of the seawater pump 1 is Q_design.
[0108] If 30%·Q_design<Q cw <80%·Q_design, and seawater temperature 10℃<T<25℃, the system is in medium load / standard state. The integrated control cabinet 8 controls the acoustic transducer 9 to operate at rated power, adjusts the current of the electrolysis device 4 and controls the flow rate of the dosing pump 6. The sodium hypochlorite solution exhibits PID control, and the target residual chlorine concentration C TRC The concentration is 0.3-0.5 mg / L.
[0109] If Q cw With a concentration >80% Q_design and a seawater temperature T >25℃, the system is in a low-load / low-risk state.
