Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical production, and particularly discloses a chemical cooling circulating water turbidity control system. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in the chemical production process, circulating water is used as the cooling medium for most chemical plants. It is mainly used for cooling production equipment and facilities. The heat is removed through the circulating cooling water system to maintain the stable operation of the production equipment within an appropriate temperature range. Circulating water is used as a cooling medium. After absorbing the heat generated by the equipment in the heat exchanger, the heat is dissipated into the environment through the cooling tower or other cooling facilities, and then circulated back to the equipment for cooling. If turbid circulating water is not properly treated during long-term circulation, it will cause a series of problems such as microbial growth, severe scaling and increased corrosion, all of which will have a negative impact on equipment efficiency and production processes. After maintaining water supply indicators by adding chemical agents such as flocculation, sterilization, corrosion inhibition and scale inhibitors, it is very easy for microorganisms to overgrow due to improper addition of agents, causing scaling substances in the system pipes to dissolve in the circulating water, resulting in an increase in the turbidity index of the circulating water. In addition, because the circulating water system is an open system, dust will carry a large amount of impurities into the circulating water during severe weather such as strong winds, causing the turbidity index of the circulating water to increase. When the operating indicators are reduced through system drainage replacement, on the one hand, due to the large designed circulation volume of the circulating water system, the drainage replacement requires a large discharge volume, resulting in a waste of water resources and an increase in production and operation costs. On the other hand, the large-scale discharge of circulating water will increase the operating load of the subsequent sewage treatment equipment, making it difficult to guarantee sewage discharge indicators. This is contrary to the national policy of zero wastewater discharge and makes it difficult to achieve environmentally friendly production of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a chemical cooling circulating water turbidity control system and an application method thereof, so as to solve the problem that during the long-term cooling process of chemical equipment by circulating water, the turbidity of the circulating water is continuously increased because the circulating water is easily polluted by chemical detergents or the environment, which ultimately affects the cooling effect of the chemical equipment.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A chemical cooling circulating water turbidity control system includes a circulating water pool, a circulating water pump and a cooler. The circulating water pool, the circulating water pump and the cooler are connected to form a circulating water circuit. A filter is connected to the pipeline between the water inlet of the circulating water pool and the cooler. The water outlet of the filter is connected to the circulating water pool. The water inlet of the filter is also connected to a slurry pool. The slurry pool is connected to a filter press, and the water outlet of the filter press is connected to the circulating water pool.
[0006] Furthermore, a first shut-off valve is provided on the pipe between the water inlet of the filter and the slurry pool, a second shut-off valve is provided on the pipe between the water inlet of the filter and the cooler, a third shut-off valve is provided on the pipe between the water outlet of the filter and the circulating water pool, a fourth shut-off valve is provided on the pipe between the water inlet of the second shut-off valve and the water outlet of the filter, a second pressure gauge is provided at the water inlet of the filter, a third pressure gauge is provided at the water outlet of the filter, and the first shut-off valve, the second shut-off valve, the third shut-off valve, the fourth shut-off valve, the second pressure gauge and the third pressure gauge are all connected to the PLC controller.
[0007] Furthermore, a liquid level gauge is provided in the slurry pool, and a third valve, a slurry pump and a fourth valve are provided in sequence on the pipeline between the outlet of the slurry pool and the filter press, a sixth valve is provided at the water outlet of the filter press, and the liquid level gauge, slurry pump, third valve, fourth valve and sixth valve are all connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] The utility model adds a filter, a slurry pool, a slurry pump, a filter press and other equipment to the existing cooling circulating water loop, so that the PLC controller controls the opening of the second shut-off valve and the third shut-off valve, and simultaneously closes the first shut-off valve and the fourth shut-off valve, thereby ensuring that the circulating water enters the circulating water pool for stable heat exchange and cooling after being filtered by the filter, thereby effectively reducing the turbidity of the heat exchange and cooling circulating water and improving the cooling effect of the chemical equipment.
[0011] In the utility model, when the pressure difference between the second pressure gauge and the third pressure gauge of the filter is ≥500kPa, the PLC controller controls the first shut-off valve and the fourth shut-off valve to open, and closes the second shut-off valve and the third shut-off valve at the same time, so that the circulating water flows upward from the bottom of the filter to realize backwashing of the filter. The slurry water after backwashing enters the slurry pool. When the liquid level gauge detects that the slurry water level in the slurry pool is not lower than 70% of the slurry pool capacity, the slurry pump is turned on and the slurry water is transported to the filter press for filtration. The clean slurry water after filtration is pumped back into the circulating water pool, thereby improving the cleanliness of the circulating water and its overall recycling rate.
[0012] In the utility model, the fourth valve and the sixth valve are controlled to be closed, and the filtered sludge is collected by the sludge collecting tank. At the same time, the fifth valve is opened, and the slurry pump continues to pump the slurry water in the slurry pool into the circulating water pool, effectively avoiding the overflow and external discharge waste of the circulating slurry water in the slurry pool when the filter press discharges sludge or a filter press failure occurs.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a chemical cooling circulating water turbidity control system includes a circulating water tank 1, a circulating water pump 2 and a cooler 3. The circulating water tank 1, the circulating water pump 2 and the cooler 3 are connected to form a circulating water circuit. A filter 4 is connected to the pipeline between the water inlet of the circulating water tank 1 and the cooler 3. The water outlet of the filter 4 is connected to the circulating water tank 1. The water inlet of the filter 4 is also connected to a slurry tank 5. The slurry tank 5 is connected to a filter press 7, and the water outlet of the filter press 7 is connected to the circulating water tank 1.
[0018] A first shut-off valve 13 is provided on the pipeline between the water inlet of the filter 4 and the slurry pool 5, a second shut-off valve 14 is provided on the pipeline between the water inlet of the filter 4 and the cooler 3, a third shut-off valve 15 is provided on the pipeline between the water outlet of the filter 4 and the circulating water pool 1, a fourth shut-off valve 16 is provided on the pipeline between the water inlet of the second shut-off valve 14 and the water outlet of the filter 4, a second pressure gauge 23 is provided at the water inlet of the filter 4, and a third pressure gauge 24 is provided at the water outlet of the filter 4, and the first shut-off valve 13, the second shut-off valve 14, the third shut-off valve 15, the fourth shut-off valve 16, the second pressure gauge 23 and the third pressure gauge 24 are all connected to the PLC controller 9.
[0019] A liquid level gauge 21 is provided in the slurry pool 5, and a third valve 17, a slurry pump 6 and a fourth valve 18 are provided in sequence on the pipeline between the outlet of the slurry pool 5 and the filter press 7. A sixth valve 20 is provided at the water outlet of the filter press 7, and the liquid level gauge 21, the slurry pump 6, the third valve 17, the fourth valve 18 and the sixth valve 20 are all connected to the PLC controller 9.
[0020] A connecting pipe is provided between the water outlet of the slurry pump 6 and the circulating water tank 1 . A fifth valve 19 is provided on the connecting pipe, and the fifth valve 19 is connected to the PLC controller 9 .
[0021] During the specific application of the present invention, a portion of the circulating water drawn out from the cooler 3 continues to circulate and cool through the circulating water pool 1, and the other portion of the circulating water enters the filter 4 for filtration after the PLC controller 9 controls the opening of the second shut-off valve 14 and the third shut-off valve 15, while closing the first shut-off valve 13 and the fourth shut-off valve 16. This ensures that the circulating water passes through the filter 4 and then enters the circulating water pool 1 for stable heat exchange and cooling. A preset filter 4 is then selected. When the pressure difference between the second pressure gauge 23 and the third pressure gauge 24 of the filter 4 is greater than the set value, the PLC controller 9 controls the opening of the first shut-off valve 13 and the fourth shut-off valve 16, while closing the second shut-off valve 14 and the third shut-off valve 15. The circulating water flows upward from the bottom of the filter 4. After the filter 4 is backwashed for the set time, the slurry water after backwashing enters the slurry pool 5. The PLC controller 9 then controls the opening of the third valve 17, the fourth valve 18 and the sixth valve 20, while closing the fifth valve 19. When the level meter 21 detects the slurry water in the slurry pool 5, the slurry water in the slurry pool 5 is cooled. When the liquid level is not lower than 70% of the capacity of the slurry pool 5, the PLC controller 9 controls the slurry pump 6 to open and transport the slurry water to the filter press 7 for filtration. When the liquid level meter 21 detects that the slurry water level in the slurry pool 5 is not higher than 30% of the capacity of the slurry pool 5, the PLC controller 9 controls the slurry pump 6 to close and stop transporting the slurry water. The slurry circulating water filtered by the filter press 7 flows back to the circulating water pool 1. Then the PLC controller 9 controls the first shut-off valve 13 and the fourth shut-off valve 16 to close, and opens the second shut-off valve 14 and the third shut-off valve 15 at the same time, so that the filter 4 can filter the cooling circulating water normally. After the filter 4 has gone through the set operating cycle, the PLC controller 9 controls the fourth valve 18 and the sixth valve 20 to close, and the sludge collecting tank 8 of the filter press 7 collects the filtered sludge. At the same time, the fifth valve 19 is opened, and the slurry pump 6 continues to pump the slurry water in the slurry pool 5 to the circulating water pool 1 for recycling, avoiding the waste of slurry water discharged. The re-filtration of the entire circulating water and the recycling of the slurry water effectively reduce the turbidity of the cooling circulating water, improve the recycling rate of the filtered slurry water, and improve the current problem of long-term cooling of chemical equipment by circulating water, because the circulating water is easily affected by chemical detergents or environmental pollution, and the turbidity continues to increase, which ultimately affects the cooling effect of the chemical equipment. Therefore, the control system has good practicality.
