Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler wastewater recycling technology, and in particular to a comprehensive utilization system for power plant wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] In the power industry, boiler drum wastewater is typically expanded and flash-evaporated in a continuous discharge expansion tank. The saturated steam after flash evaporation is then utilized in a deaerator or steam network, while the saturated water is directly discharged into a stationary discharge expansion tank, resulting in significant waste heat and water resource losses. Traditional methods for treating continuous discharge wastewater fail to fully and effectively utilize the energy and water resources in the discharged boiler water, increasing energy losses and fuel consumption at the power plant. Furthermore, the direct discharge of boiler water after expansion causes thermal pollution and substantial water waste. Therefore, we propose a comprehensive utilization system for continuous discharge wastewater from power plants. Utility Model Content

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a power plant continuous discharge drainage integrated utilization system, comprising: a steam drum 1, a continuous discharge expansion tank 2 at one end of the steam drum 1, a deaerator 3 at one end of the continuous discharge expansion tank 2, a water pump 8 at the end of the continuous discharge expansion tank 2 away from the deaerator 3, an electric shut-off valve 9 at one end of the water pump 8, a second shut-off valve 15 at the end of the electric shut-off valve 9 away from the water pump 8, a regulating valve 14 between the two second shut-off valves 15, and a throttling valve 16 between the two second shut-off valves 15 regulating the branch bypass. Two second shut-off valves 15 are connected to a boiler water pipeline 4 at the ends away from the electric shut-off valve 9. A first shut-off valve 12 is installed at one end of the boiler water pipeline 4. A check valve 13 is installed at one end of the first shut-off valve 12. An atomizing nozzle 5 is installed at the end of the check valve 13 away from the first shut-off valve 12. A back pressure turbine exhaust steam pipeline 6 is installed on one side of the atomizing nozzle 5. A pressure gauge 10 is installed at the end of the atomizing nozzle 5 away from the back pressure turbine exhaust steam pipeline 6. A temperature gauge 11 is installed at the end of the pressure gauge 10 away from the atomizing nozzle 5. A steam manifold 7 is connected to one end of the temperature gauge 11.
[0022] The outlet of steam drum 1 is connected to continuous blowdown expansion tank 2; the upper end of continuous blowdown expansion tank 2 is connected to deaerator 3; the lower end of continuous blowdown expansion tank 2 is connected to boiler water pipeline 4, and boiler water pipeline 4 is connected to one end of atomizing nozzle 5; the other end of atomizing nozzle 5 is connected to back compressor exhaust steam pipeline 6; back compressor exhaust steam pipeline 6 is connected to steam collector header 7; boiler water pipeline 4 is equipped with water pump 8 and various valves; continuous blowdown expansion tank 2 is connected to one end of water pump 8; the other end of water pump 8 is connected to electric shut-off valve 9, electric shut-off valve 9 is connected to regulating valve 14 pipeline; regulating valve 14 pipeline is connected to first shut-off valve 12; first shut-off valve 12 is connected to check valve 13, check valve 13 is connected to atomizing nozzle 5; pressure gauge 10 and temperature gauge 11 are installed at the inlet end of steam collector header 7.
[0023] The recycling control system includes on-site measurement point layout, information acquisition, and automatic control algorithms to achieve automated operation of continuous drainage utilization.
[0024] In this embodiment, the system starts from the steam drum 1, flashes the steam drum drain in the expansion tank 2, and then passes the saturated steam into the deaerator 3 for thermal deaeration. The saturated water is then pressurized by a water pump and enters the boiler water pipeline 4, where it is sprayed through atomizing nozzles 5 into the external steam supply pipeline for heat exchange. The atomizing nozzles 5 are connected to the back pressure turbine exhaust steam pipeline 6. Finally, the steam, cooled to the rated temperature, is collected in the steam header 7. The system is also equipped with a water pump 8, an electric shut-off valve 9, a regulating valve 14, and a manual throttle valve 16 to ensure precise regulation of water flow and pressure. The operating status of key components is displayed locally via pressure gauges 10 and thermometers 11. The recovery control system utilizes automated control algorithms to optimize water resource usage, ensuring stable and reliable system operation and improving energy efficiency.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the system starts circulating through steam drum 1. The water from steam drum 1 flows into continuous expansion tank 2 through a pipeline. After expansion by continuous expansion tank 2, the high-temperature and high-pressure saturated water undergoes flash evaporation under the expansion pressure. The saturated steam is passed into deaerator 3 for thermal deoxygenation. The saturated water is discharged through the bottom of continuous expansion tank 2 and pressurized by water pump 8.
[0027] Next, the regulated saturated water enters the atomizing nozzle 5 through the boiler water pipeline 4. At the nozzle, the water is atomized and sent to the external steam supply pipeline for heat exchange. Simultaneously, the atomizing nozzle 5 connects to the back-compressor exhaust steam pipeline 6, recovering the desuperheated steam at its rated temperature through the steam collector header 7. The system is also equipped with a water pump 8 and a series of valves such as an electric shut-off valve 9, a regulating valve 14, and a manual throttle valve 16 for precise control of water flow and pressure. The water pump 8 ensures a continuous water flow, the electric shut-off valve 9 controls the opening and closing of the flow rate, and the regulating valve 14 and throttle valve 16 adjust the water flow rate and pressure as needed to ensure the efficient operation of the desuperheating system.
[0028] Finally, the system's water recovery control system monitors the temperature changes of the externally supplied steam in real time through multiple temperature measuring points set up on the external steam supply pipeline. This data is fed back to the system via automated control algorithms, helping to regulate and optimize water resource use. Through precise water flow regulation and real-time monitoring, the system can continuously ensure the efficient utilization of wastewater, reduce energy waste, and improve system stability and reliability, ultimately achieving the beneficial effects of energy conservation and environmental protection.
