Direct discharge not only wastes water resources but also causes environmental pollution. Existing boiler wastewater treatment devices suffer from problems such as complex treatment processes, low equipment integration, poor salt resource recovery, and high energy consumption. For example, traditional treatment devices have relatively independent treatment units with insufficient compact connections, resulting in a large footprint; during salt recovery, the fractional crystallization effect is poor, the impurity salt rate is high, and the resource utilization rate is low; at the same time, there is a lack of effective linkage control between devices, making it difficult to adjust treatment parameters in real time according to changes in water quality, affecting treatment efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a boiler wastewater recycling device that is compact in structure, functionally integrated, has good salt resource recovery effect, and low energy consumption.
