Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seawater treatment equipment, in particular to an anti-scaling device for a seawater multi-effect evaporation concentration system. Background Art

[0002] Since the production process of using heat energy to concentrate seawater was put into use, it has been possible to use concentrated seawater for salt production and refining, and to use the generated condensed water instead of desalted water for soda ash production, which has significant economic benefits. However, as the operation time increases, the heating tubes of each effect heating chamber and the walls and pipes of the separation chamber are scarred, and even some heating tubes are scarred and blocked, which greatly reduces the heat transfer effect of each effect heating chamber, and the operating load and seawater evaporation volume continue to decrease, seriously affecting the seawater evaporation and concentration effect of the multi-effect system. By analyzing the scarred samples, it was found that the main component was calcium carbonate. Therefore, how to inhibit the scarring of concentrated seawater during the evaporation process is a difficult problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently.

[0003] The existing application number is CN200910246277.1, which is a pickling system for low-temperature multi-effect seawater desalination equipment, comprising: an acid tank, an acid adding pump, a cleaning main pipe, a cleaning liquid inlet valve, a sprayer, an inter-effect connecting pipe, a brine discharge pipe and a brine discharge pump; wherein the acid tank is connected to the cleaning main pipe through the acid adding pump, and the sprayers of each effect evaporator are connected in parallel to the cleaning main pipe through their own cleaning liquid inlet valves; when in use, when the scaling condition of the heat exchange tube bundle in the multi-effect evaporation and seawater concentration system meets the pickling requirements, the acid adding pump is started, and the pickling liquid is sprayed onto the heat exchange tube bundle through the cleaning main pipe and the sprayer to clean the dirt deposited on the heat exchange tube, and after the pickling liquid is cleaned, it is transported back to the cleaning main pipe through the brine discharge pump for cyclic use.

[0004] The existing technology has the following disadvantages when in use: 1. During pickling, each effect heating chamber needs to be emptied and cleaned when each effect heating chamber is not working, which reduces the efficiency of seawater evaporation and is not conducive to ensuring production; 2. During the operation of each effect evaporator, as the pipeline scars, the evaporation amount of seawater continues to decrease, the working efficiency of each effect pipeline continues to decrease, affecting production capacity; 3. It is necessary to manually confirm in advance whether pickling is required. If there is a manual error, pipeline blockage is likely to occur. Utility Model Content

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following outstanding features:

[0009] In the production process, the utility model adds acid solution of a certain concentration and a certain proportion to the seawater multi-effect evaporation concentration system to adjust the pH value of the seawater in the production process, thereby inhibiting the formation of calcium carbonate scars, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of each effect heating chamber.
