Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concentrated wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a structure for the recovery, purification and reuse of concentrated wastewater in food processing. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing needs of industrial and agricultural production and residential life, the use of pure and ultrapure water is growing. RO (reverse osmosis) equipment, as a method of producing pure water, is widely used in these sectors. RO equipment works by forcing water through a reverse osmosis membrane under pressure, removing ions from the water. The removed ions produce concentrated water, resulting in a large amount of this concentrated water. Due to its high conductivity and total salt content, this concentrated water is often used for makeup water in industrial circulating water systems and discharged into sewers. However, when used for makeup water, the high conductivity and total salt content of the concentrated water can significantly affect the water quality of the circulating water over a long period, causing abnormal operation and damage to workshop equipment. Discharging it into sewers also increases the load on wastewater treatment, raising wastewater discharge costs and treatment load. In the RO (reverse osmosis) water treatment process at factory water stations, a large amount of concentrated water is typically generated. Traditionally, this concentrated water is directly discharged, resulting in water waste and potential environmental pollution.
[0003] To address these shortcomings, a simple, easy-to-implement, and highly efficient structure for the recovery, purification, and reuse of processing concentrate in food processing is proposed. Utility Model Content
