Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of seawater desalination, and in particular to a thermal seawater production smooth system. Background Art

[0002] Seawater desalination refers to the technology and process of obtaining fresh water from seawater. It is a water treatment technology that removes most of the salts in seawater so that the treated seawater can meet the standards for domestic and production water. At present, there are dozens of directions for seawater desalination, and the main ones that have reached commercial scale are reverse osmosis and distillation, namely membrane method and thermal method. In the existing technology, steel, petrochemical, and power generation companies usually use steam generated by by-products or exhaust steam after power generation to desalinate seawater by thermal methods. However, in the actual production process, the amount of steam or exhaust steam is not stable, so the load of thermal seawater desalination needs to be adjusted accordingly, which is not conducive to the stability of the device and the water output cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application aims to at least to some extent solve the technical problem that the water production in the thermal seawater desalination process cannot be guaranteed due to insufficient steam. To this end, the present application provides a thermal seawater production smooth system.

[0004] In the first aspect, a thermal seawater production smooth system provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a temperature reduction and pressure reduction device, which is provided with an inlet end for connecting to external low-pressure steam, and is used to adjust the temperature and pressure of the external low-pressure steam to standard values; a negative pressure steam expansion and mixing device, the inlet end of the negative pressure steam expansion and mixing device is connected to the outlet end of the temperature reduction and pressure reduction device; a thermal seawater desalination device, the thermal seawater desalination device is connected to the steam turbine through a delivery pipe, the steam turbine is used to provide exhaust steam to the thermal seawater desalination device, and the outlet end of the negative pressure steam expansion and mixing device is connected to the inlet end of the thermal seawater desalination device.

Through the above structure, it is possible to effectively prevent the external low-pressure steam generated by the sintering waste heat boiler from being insufficient or the steam pressure and flow rate of the external low-pressure steam from fluctuating. The high-pressure steam is reduced in pressure to 0.4 MPa through the second pressure reducing valve, and then is sent into the temperature and pressure reduction device through the steam pipeline to replenish the steam volume of the system.
