In mature electric field retrofits, there is not much space reserved for zero-emission systems. Therefore, an acceptable compromise is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a zero-discharge treatment system for desulfurization wastewater. This system uses a water tank and an intermediate water tank. If the water in the water tank does not meet the standards, it will be returned to the wastewater inlet pipe. The intermediate water tank can act as a buffer to prevent the evaporator crystallizer from having no water when the water in the water tank is substandard. In addition, by utilizing the waste heat of the water in the condenser, the energy consumption of the evaporator crystallizer can be reduced.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a zero-discharge treatment system for desulfurization wastewater, comprising a wastewater inlet pipe, a multi-stage overflow tank, and a clarification tank connected in sequence. The overflow outlet of the clarification tank is connected to a water tank, which supplies water to an evaporator crystallizer.

The steam discharge outlet of the crystallizer is connected to a condenser. An intermediate water tank is provided between the water tank and the evaporator crystallizer. The water in the intermediate water tank serves as a cold source for the condenser. The water tank is connected to the wastewater inlet pipe via a return pipe and a pump.

[0008] In the above-mentioned zero-discharge treatment system for desulfurization wastewater, there are two condensers connected in parallel and switched by a switching valve; the cold source for one condenser is the condensation water inside the factory; the cold source for the other condenser is the water in the intermediate water tank.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0016] This solution uses a water tank and an intermediate water tank. If the water in the water tank does not meet the standards, it will flow back to the wastewater inlet pipe. The intermediate water tank can act as a buffer to prevent the evaporator crystallizer from having no water when the water in the water tank is not up to standard. In addition, by utilizing the waste heat of the water in the condenser, the energy consumption of the evaporator crystallizer can be reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with its embodiments. It should be noted that, in this description, unless specific conditions are specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all commercially available conventional products.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] refer to Figure 1A zero-discharge treatment system for desulfurization wastewater includes a wastewater inlet pipe 1, a multi-stage overflow tank, and a clarification tank 2 connected in sequence. The overflow outlet of the clarification tank 2 is connected to a water tank 3, which provides water to an evaporator crystallizer 4. The evaporator crystallizer 4 is used to concentrate and crystallize inorganic salts in the water. The solid discharge outlet of the evaporator crystallizer 4 is connected to a dehydrator 5. The steam discharge outlet of the crystallizer is connected to a condenser 6. An intermediate water tank 7 is provided between the water tank 3 and the evaporator crystallizer 4. The water in the intermediate water tank 7 serves as a cold source for the condenser 6. The water tank 3 is connected to the wastewater inlet pipe 1 through a return pipe and a pump.

[0021] In production, to reduce the floor space required, this embodiment only sets up one multi-stage overflow tank for flocculation and sedimentation. However, this carries the risk that the water quality in tank 3 is unstable, while the evaporator crystallizer 4 has high water quality requirements, which could lead to production stoppage. To address this issue, this embodiment adds an intermediate tank 7, which collects qualified water from tank 3. Input of unqualified water is suspended. Generally, when the water in tank 3 is unqualified, it is not completely drained to wastewater inlet pipe 1, as clarifier 2 continuously replenishes water into tank 3. When water from tank 3 enters wastewater inlet pipe 1, the sludge content of the entire system is diluted, and the water quality improves after a period of time. Once the water quality in tank 3 is detected to be qualified, drainage to wastewater inlet pipe 1 is stopped, and water is instead injected into tank 3. When the water quality in tank 3 is unqualified, not only is the water returned to the wastewater discharge pipe, but the pH is also adjusted and the amount of flocculant used is increased in the multi-stage overflow tank to regulate the water quality in clarifier 2.

[0022] Preferably, there are two condensers 6 connected in parallel, and the two condensers 6 are switched by a switching valve; the cold source of one condenser 6 is the condensing water inside the factory; the cold source of the other condenser 6 is the water in the intermediate water tank 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, the water in the intermediate water tank 7 is used to condense the steam most of the time. When the water tank 3 needs to return water to the wastewater inlet pipe 1, the condenser 6 is stopped to avoid overheating of the water in the intermediate water tank 7. The condenser 6 should be switched to another condenser 6.

[0024] Preferably, a solenoid valve 8 is provided between the water tank 3 and the wastewater inlet pipe 1, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the clarification tank 2. The discharge port is connected to an external sludge treatment system 9. The lower part of the clarification tank 2 is a conical part 10, which is used to allow the flocculents in the water to settle at the bottom of the conical part 10. The multi-stage overflow tank includes a pH adjustment tank 11, a sedimentation tank 12, and a flocculation tank 13 connected in sequence. The liquid in the pH adjustment tank 11, sedimentation tank 12, and flocculation tank 13 overflows into the next stage in sequence. The wastewater inlet pipe 1 is connected to the pH adjustment tank 11. The flocculation tank 13 is connected to the clarification tank 2. A stirrer is provided in the pH adjustment tank 11, sedimentation tank 12, and flocculation tank 13.

[0025] The design of the aforementioned clarifier 2 and multi-stage overflow tank is conventional technology in the field, and this embodiment will not impose too many restrictions or descriptions on them. In this embodiment, preferably, the bottoms of the pH adjustment tank 11, sedimentation tank 12, and flocculation tank 13 are all connected to the external sludge treatment system 9. Under normal circumstances, the pH adjustment tank 11, sedimentation tank 12, and flocculation tank 13 do not discharge to the sludge treatment system 9. When maintenance is required, the sludge settled at the bottom needs to be discharged to the sludge treatment system 9.

[0026] To further reduce the footprint, the intermediate water tank 7 can be placed above the multi-stage overflow tank and / or clarifier 2; more preferably, in a factory environment, a steel frame can be built above the multi-stage overflow tank and clarifier 2 to support the intermediate water tank 7; the water tank 3 and the intermediate water tank 7 are connected by a pump.
