Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a PTFE dual-membrane coupled hardening and ammonia removal system for gasification ash water treatment, which is particularly suitable for gasification ash water reuse systems and belongs to the field of membrane water treatment. Background Art

[0002] Coal gasification is a key technology in my country's coal chemical production and an important means of achieving clean utilization of coal resources. However, the gasification process generates a large amount of wastewater with high suspended solids, high COD, high ammonia nitrogen, and high hardness. Currently, the problems that need to be addressed with coal gasification ash water are: 1. Scaling in the ash water system; 2. High ammonia nitrogen content. Some manufacturers have temporarily alleviated ash water scaling by adding a certain proportion of scale inhibitors to severely scaled areas, but a serious scaling tendency still exists. Severe scaling in the ash water system will affect the continuous operation of the unit, shorten the operating cycle, and in severe cases, cause unnecessary shutdowns. Only by solving the scaling problem can the safe and stable operation of the gasification unit be guaranteed.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 110171857 A discloses a method for treating ash water from coal slurry gasification containing ammonia. This process involves pressurizing all the ash water from coal slurry gasification and sending it to an evaporation tower, and then treating it with ammonia removal through a stripping tower. This process has disadvantages such as complex flow, large number of equipment, lack of hardness removal, easy system structure, and high hardness of the treated ash water. Utility Model Content

A sludge return pump (1-6) and a sludge discharge pump (1-5) are installed at the sludge pipe at the bottom of the sedimentation zone (1-4).

[0006] The outlet of the high-density tank (1) is connected to the buffer tank (2); the buffer tank (2) is connected to the PTFE ultrafiltration membrane equipment (4) via a pretreatment system (3), which consists of a Y-type filter (3-1), an ultrafiltration feed pump (3-2), and a coarse filter (3-3); the outlet of the pretreatment system (3) is connected to the PTFE ultrafiltration membrane (4) and the intermediate tank (5), and the outlet of the intermediate tank (5) is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger (7) via an intermediate water pump (6), and the outlet of the heat exchanger (7) is connected to the PTFE deammoniation membrane contactor (8).

[0010] Preferably, a portion of the concentrate from the PTFE ultrafiltration membrane (4) is returned to the high-density tank (1).

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The PTFE dual-membrane coupled hardening and ammonia removal system described in this utility model, applied to the treatment of gasified ash water, effectively removes suspended solids, colloids, solid particles and heavy metal ions from the ash water, reduces the ammonia nitrogen content, and can reduce the hardness of the ash water to below 100 mg / L, greatly reducing the difficulty of wastewater treatment.

[0013] 2. The Y-type filter (3-1) is 1.2mm thick, and the coarse filter (3-2) is 1mm thick, forming two-stage interception and distributed filtration.

Since the optimal pH value of the PTFE ammonia removal membrane contactor (8) is 10.5~11.5, no additional alkali solution needs to be added when entering the PTFE ammonia removal membrane contactor (8), reducing the amount of chemicals added and the pH adjustment process.

[0022] The pretreatment system has a 3Y type filter with a thickness of 1.2mm and a coarse filter with a thickness of 1mm, forming two stages of interception and distributed filtration. Multiple coarse filters can be operated in parallel and automatically backwashed.

[0023] An online pH meter is installed in reaction zone 1-1, and an over-alkali monitoring device is installed in the outlet pipe of high-density tank 1 to accurately control the dosage of chemicals.

[0025] The concentrated water from the PTFE ultrafiltration membrane 4 is returned to the high-density tank 1.

[0026] The process of using this system is as follows:

[0027] A PTFE dual-membrane coupled hardening and ammonia removal system for gasification ash water treatment: Ash water enters a high-density tank, effluent enters a buffer tank, a Y-type filter is connected between the buffer tank and the ultrafiltration feed pump, a coarse filter is connected to the outlet of the ultrafiltration membrane feed pump, effluent enters a PTFE ultrafiltration membrane, PTFE ultrafiltration membrane permeate enters an intermediate tank, effluent is pumped by an intermediate water pump to a heat exchanger and a PTFE ammonia removal membrane contactor, and ammonia-removed permeate enters a permeate tank. The above constitutes the gasification ash water hardening and ammonia removal system.

[0028] The influent ammonia nitrogen concentration in a coal gasification ash wastewater treatment plant is 300-500 mg / L, and the hardness is 400-500 mg / L. The effluent requirements are ammonia nitrogen <50 mg / L and hardness <100 mg / L. The treatment capacity is 100 m³ / h. 3 / h.

[0029] ① The pH value of the gasified ash water is adjusted to 10.5~11.5 in reaction zone 1-1. Coagulant and flocculant are added in pre-coagulation zone 1-1 and flocculation zone 1-3. An online excess alkali analyzer is installed at the effluent outlet.
