Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water treatment technology for coal-fired power plants, and in particular relates to a water island-type water treatment system for coal-fired power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal power plants consume a large amount of water, primarily for cooling, ash removal, and desulfurization processes. As the scale and power generation of thermal power plants increase, water consumption also increases accordingly. Currently, thermal power plants have high water quality requirements, necessitating treatment before use to prevent damage to equipment and the environment. Water island-style water treatment systems achieve efficient water resource utilization and wastewater recycling through integrated water treatment solutions. These systems typically integrate and manage multiple aspects of the power plant, including source water purification, process water treatment, wastewater treatment and reuse, and zero discharge of final wastewater, to achieve the goals of saving construction investment and reducing operating costs. Although island-type water treatment systems have achieved significant results in wastewater recycling, they still have shortcomings in source water treatment. Current island-type systems mainly focus on how to recycle and reuse wastewater, lacking treatment of source water. The sources and quality of source water vary, making it difficult to directly meet the needs of stable power plant operation. In addition, island-type treatment systems involve multiple water treatment units and process links, requiring high coordination and matching between units. If the treatment units are not properly matched, it will affect the operation of the entire system, making it impossible to achieve the goal of zero discharge of terminal wastewater.

[0036] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The utility model is described more specifically in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a water island-type water treatment system for a coal-fired power plant, including:

[0038] Water source treatment module 1 has a first drain outlet and a first sludge discharge outlet;

[0039] Cooling tower 2 has a second drain outlet, and the first drain outlet is connected to the cooling tower 2;

[0040] The circulating water treatment module 3 has a product water outlet, a wastewater outlet, a concentrated water outlet, and a second sludge outlet, with the second outlet connected to the circulating water treatment module 3.

[0042] The industrial wastewater treatment module 5 has a third sludge discharge port, and the wastewater discharge port is connected to the industrial wastewater treatment module 5.

[0043] The desulfurization wastewater treatment module 6 has a fourth sludge discharge outlet, and the third discharge outlet is connected to the desulfurization wastewater treatment module 6; and

[0044] The sludge treatment module 7 is connected to the first, second, third, and fourth sludge discharge ports. This allows the source water to undergo preliminary purification by the source water treatment module. The purified water is then cooled by a cooling tower, and further purified by the circulating water treatment module to produce product water. During operation, the circulating water treatment module also generates concentrated water, wastewater, and sludge. The concentrated water is desulfurized by the desulfurization module, while the wastewater is treated harmlessly by the industrial wastewater treatment module. The wastewater treated by the desulfurization module is then treated harmlessly by the desulfurization wastewater treatment module. The sludge generated by the source water treatment module, circulating water treatment module, industrial wastewater treatment module, and desulfurization wastewater treatment module is then treated harmlessly by the sludge treatment module.

[0045] in, Figure 1 and Figure 3 The letters a and j next to the middle arrows represent the following: "a" is the first drainage outlet, "b" is the first sludge discharge outlet, "c" is the second drainage outlet, "d" is the fourth sludge discharge outlet, "e" is the concentrated water discharge outlet, "f" is the product water outlet, "g" is the wastewater discharge outlet, "h" is the second sludge discharge outlet, "i" is the third drainage outlet, and "j" is the third sludge discharge outlet. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this text, "A" represents source water, and "B" represents produced water. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Solid arrows indicate water delivery paths, while dashed arrows indicate sludge discharge paths.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the water source treatment module 1 in the above technical solution includes a flocculation tank 11 and a sedimentation tank 12. The flocculation tank 11 is connected to the sedimentation tank 12, and the first drain outlet and the first sludge discharge outlet are both located on the sedimentation tank 12. In this way, when the water source enters the flocculation tank, the particulate components in the water are agglomerated into clumps under the action of flocculant, and then precipitate in the sedimentation tank. The supernatant is sent to the cooling tower for cooling treatment, and the sediment in the sedimentation tank is discharged to the sludge treatment module for treatment.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the circulating water treatment module 3 in the above technical solution includes a high-density tank 31, a multi-media filter tank 32, an ultrafiltration device 33, a reverse osmosis device 34, and an ion exchange device 35 connected in sequence. The second drain outlet is connected to the high-density tank 31. The concentrated water outlet is located on the reverse osmosis device 34. The product water outlet and wastewater outlet are both located on the ion exchange device 35. The second sludge discharge outlet is located on the high-density tank 31. The high-density tank is used to precipitate and purify the water sent from the cooling tower. The multi-media filter tank filters and purifies the water treated in the high-density tank. The ultrafiltration device purifies the water filtered by the multi-media filter tank. The reverse osmosis device purifies the water after ultrafiltration. The concentrated water produced is rich in salt and can be desulfurized by the desulfurization module. The purified water after the reverse osmosis device is deionized by the ion exchange device, resulting in deionized water. The wastewater produced after the ion exchange device is treated by the industrial wastewater treatment module.

[0048] The high-density tank 31, multi-media filtration tank 32, ultrafiltration device 33, reverse osmosis device 34, and ion exchange device 35 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the reverse osmosis device 34 described in the above technical solution is arranged in multiple ways in series and / or parallel (it can be in series, parallel, or a combination of series and parallel); this makes the desalination effect of the purified water better.

[0050] The circulating water treatment module 3 in the above technical solution also includes a concentrate collection tank 36. The concentrate outlets of multiple reverse osmosis devices 34 are all connected to the concentrate collection tank 36, which is connected to the desulfurization module 4. This allows the concentrate produced by multiple reverse osmosis devices to be collected by the concentrate collection tank for centralized treatment by the desulfurization system.

[0051] The desulfurization module described in this embodiment can be a membrane concentration device (which can further concentrate the concentrate), a bioreactor, or a Fenton tank, depending on the process requirements.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the ion exchange device 35 in the above technical solution includes a cation exchange device 35a, an anion exchange device 35b, and a mixed bed device 35c connected in series. The product water outlet is located on the mixed bed device 35c. The cation exchange device 35a, anion exchange device 35b, and mixed bed device 35c all have wastewater discharge outlets. This makes the deionization effect of the ion exchange device on the purified water more complete.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the desulfurization wastewater treatment module 6 in the above technical solution includes a desulfurization triple tank 61, a pre-sedimentation tank 62, a triple-effect evaporator 63, a drying device 64, and an ash and slag receiving device 65 connected in sequence. The third drainage outlet is connected to the desulfurization triple tank 61, and the fourth sludge discharge outlet is located on the pre-sedimentation tank 62. In this way, the wastewater generated by the desulfurization module can be neutralized, reacted, and flocculated by the desulfurization triple tank, then settled by the pre-sedimentation tank, then concentrated by the triple-effect evaporator, and further dried by the drying device. Finally, the ash and slag receiving device receives the dried slag for transfer to a harmless treatment facility.

[0054] The heat source for the triple-effect evaporator 63 can be the recovered heat from the flue gas of the power plant.

[0055] The desulfurization triple box 61, pre-sedimentation tank 62 and triple-effect evaporator 63 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The drying device 64 can be an existing drum dryer, flash dryer or rotary spray dryer. The ash receiving device 65 can be a tipping cart, which can transfer ash with high salt content to bags for storage as a de-icing agent.

[0056] The industrial wastewater treatment module 5 described in the above technical solution is an integrated magnetic coagulation device (which is existing equipment and will not be described in detail here); thus, flocculants and magnetic powder can be added to the wastewater, so that the flocs in the wastewater can be further aggregated under the action of the magnetic powder, thereby enabling more thorough treatment of the sludge in the wastewater. The wastewater treated by the industrial wastewater treatment module can be sent to the sewage treatment plant in the factory area for further purification treatment to meet the discharge standards.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sludge treatment module 7 in the above technical solution includes a sludge mixing tank 71 and a dewatering machine 73. The sludge mixing tank 71 is connected to the dewatering machine 73, and the first sludge discharge port, the second sludge discharge port, the third sludge discharge port and the fourth sludge discharge port are all connected to the sludge mixing tank 71. This allows the sludge to be fully mixed in the sludge mixing tank first, and then dewatered by the dewatering machine according to a predetermined process.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the sludge treatment module 7 in the above technical solution also includes a sludge thickening tank 72. The sludge mixing tank 71 is connected to the dewatering machine 73 through the sludge thickening tank 72 (which is prior art and will not be described in detail here). This allows the mixed sludge to be thickened by the sludge thickening tank before being dewatered by the dewatering machine. This ensures that the sludge entering the dewatering machine has a consistent moisture content, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the dewatering machine's operation. In this embodiment, the dewatering machine can be a plate and frame dewatering machine.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
