Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wet dust removal equipment, specifically to a wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] Steel mills and power plants employ various production processes involving ash removal. Different processes result in different dust characteristics. For example, slag dust from sintering and pelletizing processes, steelmaking processes, and salt-containing iron oxide dust from vortex diffuser processes generate dusty flue gas containing large amounts of water vapor. When using baghouse dust collectors or sintered plate dust collectors, the filter media easily clogs and becomes unusable. Only wet scrubbers can solve this problem. Wet scrubbers typically employ a spray atomization process, requiring a circulating pool for spray circulation and slag / water storage. Due to space limitations, the circulating pool is usually a flat-bottomed or slightly inclined pool. Since the pool area is small, using a traveling sludge suction machine or grab bucket crane would be too expensive and require too much space. Therefore, this invention proposes a wet scrubber circulating pool cleaning system to reduce project costs, protect the environment, improve working conditions for workers, and achieve high-efficiency dust removal. Summary of the Invention

[0007] One end of the fire water bag is connected to the fire water inlet of the mixing tank, and the other end is connected to the sewage outlet of the dredging robot.

[0008] An ultrasonic level gauge and a pressure relief pipe are also installed on the upper part of the mixing tank; the ultrasonic level gauge is electrically connected to the automatic control box.

[0009] The slag discharge pump is matched and installed on the side of the mixing tank and electrically connected to the automatic control box. Its input end is connected to the inner cavity of the mixing tank through a mixing pipe. A mixer is matched and installed on the mixing pipe.

[0010] The flocculant dosing tank is matched and installed next to the mixing tank; a dosing metering pump is also matched and installed between the slag discharge pump and the flocculant dosing tank; the dosing metering pump is electrically connected to the automatic control box; the input end of the dosing metering pump is connected to the inner cavity of the flocculant dosing tank through a pipe, and the output end of the dosing metering pump is connected to the mixer through the dosing pipeline; the flocculant dosing tank pumps the flocculant solution through the dosing metering pump and the dosing pipeline into the mixer to mix with the sludge in the slag discharge pipeline;

[0011] The plate and frame filter press is matched and installed on one side of the flocculant dosing tank and electrically connected to the automatic control box. Its input end is connected to the output end of the slag discharge pump through the slag discharge pipeline. The return end of the plate and frame filter press is connected to the inside of the circulation tank through the return pipe. The slag discharge pump pumps ash and slag into the plate and frame filter press through the slag discharge pipeline. The clear water separated by the plate and frame filter press is discharged back to the circulation tank through the return pipe.

[0012] The wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system includes: a dosing hopper for adding chemicals, a chemical agitator for stirring chemicals, and a water supply pipe for supplying water, all installed on the flocculant dosing tank; the chemical agitator is electrically connected to the automatic control box.

[0013] The wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system includes a sludge agitator installed on the mixing tank for stirring sludge; the sludge agitator is electrically connected to the automatic control box.

[0014] The wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system further includes a cable reel box; the cable reel box is electrically connected to the automatic control box; and the cable reel box is also electrically connected to the dredging robot via a cable.

[0015] The wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system includes: an automatic control box comprising an electrical control box, a PLC controller, and an AC contactor KM1; the electrical control box contains the AC contactor KM1 and circuit breakers QF0~QF1 connected in series; one end of the coil of the AC contactor KM1 is connected to the current output terminal of the circuit breaker QF1, and the other end of the coil of the AC contactor KM1 is electrically connected to the slag discharge pump; the contact switch of the AC contactor KM1 is electrically connected to the coil of the AC contactor KM1; terminal A1 of the AC contactor KM1 is connected to the neutral wire, and terminal A2 is electrically connected to the output port of the PLC controller 102; simultaneously, the PLC controller is connected to the neutral wire and the live wire; the input port of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the ultrasonic level gauge.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model's wet dust collector circulating pool cleaning system adopts a highly efficient cleaning process to achieve automatic cleaning and sludge-water separation in the dust collector's circulating water pool. The circulating pool cleaning uses an underwater dredging robot, which can effectively remove silt and debris from the bottom of the water, improving operational efficiency and safety. This utility model's cleaning system can ensure that it will not cause secondary pollution to the water area during the cleaning process.

[0019] While sludge-dredging robots offer many advantages, they also present challenges. Because the robots move continuously within the water tank, their sludge suction is not continuous, making direct connection to a plate and frame filter press impossible. The sludge must be stored in a mixing tank to a certain volume before being continuously pumped into the filter press via a discharge pump. Therefore, a fixed sludge removal system and a plate and frame filter press are required. The sludge is transferred from the storage tank to the mixing tank for storage and mixing before being pumped into the filter press to achieve sludge-water separation. Furthermore, the sludge discharged by the sludge-dredging robot has a very small particle size, easily clogging the filter plates of the plate and frame filter press. Therefore, flocculants need to be added for granulation, shaping the sludge into particles of a suitable size for filtration by the filter press before safely separating the sludge and water.

[0020] This utility model replaces the existing traveling suction sludge machine and grab bucket machine for ash removal, reduces project costs, protects the environment, improves workers' working conditions, effectively meets the requirements of high-efficiency ash removal, saves a lot of water and reduces water consumption, and achieves the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection.
