Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a closed-circulation water spray pretreatment system. Background Art

[0002] In the water treatment industry, closed-loop water systems require cooling through spray systems during high summer temperatures. Conventional spray systems in the prior art feed desalted water into a spray pool, which is then pressurized by a spray pump and atomized into spray nozzles. This enhances the heat exchange efficiency of the air cooler and reduces the return temperature of the circulating water. Due to the high summer temperatures, microorganisms proliferate in the spray pool, and dust and sand that fall into the pool can easily clog the spray nozzles, resulting in poor atomization and a failure to achieve cooling. This results in the closed-loop water system's feedwater temperature failing to meet the operational requirements of the plant's main process units. Maintaining the closed-loop water system requires significant annual labor and material resources to replace the spray nozzles, significantly increasing the system's maintenance and replacement costs. Furthermore, desalted water is prepared by mixing process condensate, turbine condensate, and raw water into a desalted water tank. This desalted water is then pumped to various devices, resulting in a temperature typically between 35°C and 40°C. This high temperature is detrimental to cooling the closed-loop water system.

[0029] The present embodiment provides a closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 to address the existing problem of requiring significant annual labor and material investment in replacing spray nozzles 600, significantly increasing the system's maintenance and replacement costs. Furthermore, the desalted water used in existing closed-loop water systems typically has a temperature between 35°C and 40°C, making it difficult to cool the system. The closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplary, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the closed-circulation water spray pretreatment system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The closed-circulation water spray pretreatment system 10 of the present application can be used for cooling a closed-circulation water system.

[0031] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 , the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] For example, see Figure 1As shown, a closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 includes a filter device 100, a reverse osmosis device 200, a spray water booster pump 300, a sterilizing device 400, a high-pressure spray water pump 500, and a spray nozzle 600, which are connected in sequence. The filter device 100 is used to connect to a water source. The filter device 100 is used to filter the incoming water from the water source. The reverse osmosis device 200 is used to perform reverse osmosis treatment on the filtered water. The spray water booster pump 300 is used to pressurize the produced water after reverse osmosis treatment. The sterilizing device 400 is used to add a sterilant to the pressurized produced water for sterilization to form spray water. The high-pressure spray water pump 500 is used to transport the sterilized spray water to the spray nozzle 600. The spray nozzle 600 is used to cooperate with the closed-loop water circulation system to achieve cooling of the closed-loop water circulation system.

[0033] The closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10, through optimization and improvement, incorporates a spray pretreatment device to improve the water quality of the nozzle inlet, avoid clogging of the spray nozzle 600, and ensure long-term stable operation of the closed-loop water supply while reducing the cost of inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the closed-loop water spray system. The addition of the spray pretreatment facility allows the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 to appropriately improve the quality of the incoming spray water, thereby reducing the cost per ton of spray water.

[0034] In some embodiments, the filtration device 100 includes a sand filtration device 101. Sand filtration device 101 is connected between a water source and an osmosis device. Sand filtration device 101 is used to filter incoming water from the source to remove large particles of impurities. Sand filtration device 101 is used in drinking water treatment to remove suspended matter from the water source and improve water quality. It is also used in sewage treatment as a deep treatment method after secondary treatment to further purify water quality.

[0035] The sand filter device 101 is a common water treatment technology, mainly used to remove suspended solids, colloidal substances and some dissolved organic matter in water. It is widely used in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, industrial water purification and other fields. The following are some basic features and working principles of the sand filter device 101: The working principle includes: (1) Filtration process: Raw water enters the top of the sand filter through the water inlet pipe and then flows downward through the filter material layer (mainly quartz sand). In this process, suspended solids and colloidal substances in the water are intercepted by the filter material, and clean water flows out from the bottom and is discharged through the outlet pipe. (2) Backwashing process: As the filtration proceeds, impurities will gradually accumulate in the filter material layer, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency and an increase in head loss. Therefore, regular backwashing is required to remove dirt on the filter material. Backwashing is to reverse the direction of the water flow, that is, to flush the filter material layer from bottom to top, and remove the intercepted impurities from the filter tank.

[0036] In some embodiments, the sand filter device 101 comprises the following components: (1) filter media: typically a multi-layer structure, with the top layer being coarse sand, the middle layer being fine sand, and the bottom layer being gravel. This design facilitates better interception of particles of different sizes. (2) water distribution system: including an inlet water distributor and an outlet water collector to ensure that the water flow is evenly distributed throughout the filter bed. (3) flushing system: used for backwashing operations, including a flushing water pump and corresponding pipeline valves. (4) support layer: located below the filter media, composed of larger-sized gravel, which supports the filter media and prevents it from being lost with the water flow.

[0037] In some embodiments, the filtration device 100 further includes an ultrafiltration device 102. The ultrafiltration device 102 is connected between the sand filtration device 101 and the osmosis device. The ultrafiltration device 102 is used to perform ultrafiltration treatment on the produced water after filtration by the sand filtration device 101 to remove suspended impurities, colloids, and microorganisms in the water.

[0038] In some embodiments, the filtration device 100 further includes a safety filter 103. The safety filter 103 is connected between the sterilization device 400 and the high-pressure spray water pump 500. The safety filter 103 is used to remove large particles of impurities and dead microorganisms from the spray water formed after the sterilization treatment by the sterilization device 400.

[0039] In some embodiments, the filter diameter of the security filter 103 is 3 μm-5 μm.

[0040] In some embodiments, the sterilization device 400 includes a sterilizing agent pipeline mixer. In this application, it is necessary to ensure the desalination rate of reverse osmosis. High conductivity of the reverse osmosis product water can easily lead to salt buildup and blockage in the closed-loop water heat exchange tube bundle, affecting the heat exchange effect. Therefore, adding a sterilizing agent pipeline mixer to add non-oxidizing sterilizing agents can effectively kill microorganisms and prevent their growth. Simultaneously, the design of a 5μm safety filter 103 before the high-pressure spray water pump 500 can effectively intercept microbial corpses, fine sand, and other impurities that could clog the spray nozzle 600, thereby preventing clogging of the closed-loop water spray nozzle 600.

[0041] In some embodiments, the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 further includes a raw water tank 700. The raw water tank 700 is connected between the water source and the filter device 100, and is used to store raw water from the water source.

[0042] In some embodiments, the raw water tank 700 also collects the water that falls to the ground after spraying from the spray nozzle 600 through a collection device. The closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 recycles the water that falls to the ground generated by the spray nozzle 600, effectively reducing the temperature of the spray water, further facilitating cooling of the closed-loop water supply, and ensuring the closed-loop water supply temperature. The present application recycles the water that falls to the ground generated by the spray nozzle 600 back into the raw water tank 700, reprocesses it, and then sprays it, effectively reducing the temperature of the spray water to approximately 20°C, further facilitating cooling of the closed-loop water supply, and ensuring the closed-loop water supply temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments, the water source of the raw water tank 700 includes recycled wastewater. This application utilizes chemical recycled wastewater as the raw material for spray water preparation, achieving the reuse of chemical wastewater. This also reduces treatment costs compared to traditional chemical plant closed-loop water systems that use desalinated water for spray water, potentially saving approximately 1.5 yuan per ton in water treatment fees.

[0044] In some embodiments, the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 further includes a reverse osmosis water production tank 800 . The reverse osmosis water production tank 800 is connected between the reverse osmosis device 200 and the spray water booster pump 300 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the reverse osmosis device 200 performs desalination treatment on the filtered water, the conductivity of the reverse osmosis water produced by the reverse osmosis device 200 is ≤50us / cm, and the reverse osmosis water produced by the reverse osmosis device 200 flows into the reverse osmosis water tank by gravity.

[0046] In summary, the closed-loop water spray pretreatment system 10 of the present application pre-treats the incoming water, improves the incoming water quality of the spray nozzle 600, avoids fouling and clogging of the spray nozzle 600, ensures the long-term stable operation of the closed-loop water supply, and saves the inspection, maintenance and replacement costs of the closed-loop water spray system. Compared with the traditional closed-loop water system that uses desalted water as water for spray cooling, resulting in a high cost per ton of water, the present application adds a spray pretreatment, which can appropriately reduce the water quality of the spray water, thereby reducing the cost per ton of spray water. Furthermore, the present application recycles the water that falls to the ground after the spray nozzle 600 is sprayed, and the water that falls to the ground is collected in the raw water tank 700. The temperature of the water that falls to the ground is relatively low, which can reduce the water temperature of the water source in the raw water tank 700, and can effectively reduce the temperature of the spray water, which is more conducive to cooling the closed-loop water and ensuring the closed-loop water supply temperature.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0048] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
