DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In the following, the present application will be further described in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, and it should be noted that the embodiments described below or the technical features between the embodiments can be combined in any manner to form new embodiments without conflict.

[0016] Embodiment:

[0017] Please combine Figure 1The large seawater desalination system of the embodiment comprises a seawater main pipe 3, a reverse osmosis membrane group 9, an energy recovery device 17, a reverse osmosis membrane group water inlet pipe 4, an energy recovery device water inlet pipe 18, a reverse osmosis membrane group concentrated water return pipe 15, a high-pressure seawater pipe 14, a mixing pipe 11, a concentrated water discharge pipe 16, and a water production pipe. The seawater main pipe is provided with a water supply pump 2. The seawater main pipe 3 is connected to the reverse osmosis membrane group water inlet pipe 4 and the energy recovery device water inlet pipe 18. The energy recovery device water inlet pipe 18 is connected to the lower end inlet of the energy recovery device 17. The reverse osmosis membrane group concentrated water return pipe 15 is connected to the reverse osmosis membrane group 9. The outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane group concentrated water return pipe 15 is connected to the upper end inlet of the energy recovery device 17. The inlet of the high-pressure seawater pipe 14 is connected to the upper end outlet of the energy recovery device 17. The outlet of the high-pressure seawater pipe 14 and the outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane group water inlet pipe 4 are connected to the inlet of the mixing pipe 11. The outlet of the mixing pipe 11 is connected to the water inlet side of the reverse osmosis membrane group 5. The lower end outlet of the energy recovery device 17 is connected to the concentrated water discharge pipe 16. The water outlet side of the reverse osmosis membrane group 9 is connected to the water production pipe.

[0018] The reverse osmosis membrane group water inlet pipe 4 is provided with a high-pressure pump 5.

[0019] The high-pressure seawater pipe 14 is provided with a booster pump 13.

[0020] The water production pipe comprises a front water production pipe 8 and a rear water production pipe 10. The front water production pipe 8 is connected to the water outlet side of the front end of the reverse osmosis membrane group 9. The rear water production pipe 10 is connected to the water outlet side of the rear end of the reverse osmosis membrane group 9.

[0021] The mixing pipe 11 and the energy recovery device water inlet pipe 18 are both connected to a chemical cleaning water inlet pipe 7. The rear water production pipe 10 and the reverse osmosis membrane group concentrated water return pipe 15 are both connected to a chemical cleaning circulation pipe 12. The chemical cleaning water inlet pipe 7 and the chemical cleaning circulation pipe 12 are both provided with valves.

[0022] The seawater main pipe 3, the reverse osmosis membrane group water inlet pipe 4, the energy recovery device water inlet pipe 18, the reverse osmosis membrane group concentrated water return pipe 15, the concentrated water discharge pipe 16, and the water production pipe are all provided with valves 6.

[0023] The seawater main pipe 3 is provided with a scale inhibitor and a reducing agent dosing point 1 at the inlet of the water supply pump.

[0024] The reverse osmosis membrane element adopts a multi-section arrangement mode, is highly integrated, and can realize large-scale seawater desalination work in a small footprint. The reverse osmosis membrane elements are arranged in a multi-section series in a single membrane shell, and the membrane shells are arranged in parallel in the vertical and horizontal directions. The membrane shell spacing is small. In the same space range, the number of membrane elements can be increased according to the arrangement mode, thereby greatly improving the water production capacity of the reverse osmosis membrane group equipment. In a large seawater desalination project of 100,000 tons or more, the water production capacity of a single reverse osmosis membrane group equipment is greatly improved, which means that the number of reverse osmosis membrane groups can be reduced, thereby reducing the fixed asset investment of water pumps and pipelines, and reducing the project footprint. The high integration of the reverse osmosis membrane element can optimize the system pressure distribution, enable the system to operate at a lower energy consumption, improve the energy utilization efficiency, and thereby reduce the operating cost.

[0025] The seawater is lifted by the feed pump and is divided into two paths. One path is lifted by the high-pressure pump and enters the reverse osmosis membrane group. The other path enters the energy recovery device. The seawater entering the energy recovery device exchanges energy with the high-pressure concentrated water flowing back in the reverse osmosis membrane group. The low-pressure seawater becomes high-pressure seawater, is lifted by the booster pump, and is combined with the water discharged by the high-pressure pump to enter the reverse osmosis membrane group through the mixing pipeline. The high-pressure concentrated water becomes low-pressure concentrated water and is discharged through the concentrated water discharge pipeline. The water produced by the reverse osmosis membrane group is divided into front water and rear water, which enter the water production tank through their respective pipelines. According to the characteristics of the reverse osmosis membrane, a scale inhibitor and a reducing agent dosing point are arranged at the inlet of the reverse osmosis membrane group feed pump, and are continuously dosed to prevent the membrane element from scaling and being oxidized, and to ensure the normal use of the reverse osmosis membrane group. The above process is the normal working process of the reverse osmosis membrane group.

[0026] The chemical cleaning inlet pipe and the chemical cleaning circulation pipe are arranged to realize the daily flushing and maintenance of the membrane group by switching the valves of the reverse osmosis membrane group.

[0027] In the entire reverse osmosis process, many monitoring points of operating parameters are arranged. The flow rate and pressure obtained by real-time monitoring are used to start and stop the reverse osmosis membrane group. When the reverse osmosis equipment is normally operating, the real-time monitoring of the flow rate and pressure can also be used to find problems in time and ensure the normal operation of the reverse osmosis membrane group.

[0028] Real-time monitoring points of orp, ph, and residual chlorine are arranged at the inlet of the reverse osmosis feed pump to monitor whether the water quality meets the operating parameter range of the reverse osmosis membrane, and to ensure the normal operation of the reverse osmosis device and protect the reverse osmosis membrane element. Conductivity monitoring points are arranged on the inlet and outlet pipelines of the reverse osmosis membrane group to monitor the water quality of the inlet and outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane group in real time. The desalination rate data of the reverse osmosis device can be obtained from the monitoring values, which can be used as a basis for whether to perform chemical cleaning on the membrane group.

[0029] The start and stop process of the reverse osmosis equipment is as follows:

[0030] Start: start the water pump→ start the booster pump→ close the membrane group and pipeline exhaust valve→ start the high-pressure pump→ the equipment reaches the production operation

[0031] Stop: stop the high-pressure pump→ stop the booster pump→ stop the water pump→ open the membrane group exhaust valve to release pressure

[0032] The above embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present application shall belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
