Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning waste liquid treatment technology, and in particular to a waste liquid neutralization device. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchangers, as key equipment in industries such as nuclear power, thermal power, heating, and chemical engineering, primarily function to cool their hot media systems using cooling water, maintaining the normal and efficient operation of the equipment. Improving and maintaining the cleanliness of heat exchangers can reduce the temperature difference between the heat exchanger terminals, increase heat exchange efficiency, save plant power consumption, and ensure the safe operation of the cooling system.
[0003] The new and efficient cleaning method currently in use is electromagnetic pulse cleaning. Electromagnetic pulse cleaning enables online cleaning of heat exchangers without disassembly. However, since the heat exchanger is mostly filled with warm water, it is prone to scaling. Ordinary physical cleaning can only remove debris inside the heat exchanger, while hard scale on the plates requires the addition of chemical agents for dissolution and cleaning. This chemical cleaning solves the scaling problem of heat exchangers, allowing them to maintain a high-efficiency heat exchange state.
[0004] In recent years, with the implementation of environmental protection policies, the issue of wastewater treatment has become increasingly important.
[0005] To address existing cleaning issues, there is a need for a scientifically designed, safe, stable, practical, and convenient heat exchanger cleaning waste liquid neutralization and treatment device to achieve online and environmentally friendly cleaning of heat exchangers. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, achieve neutralization of heat exchanger cleaning wastewater, realize online and environmentally friendly cleaning of heat exchangers, and achieve environmentally friendly wastewater discharge, this application provides a wastewater neutralization device.
[0007] The waste liquid neutralization device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution.

To open, simply loosen the rotating handle and swing the swing rod in all directions, and the manhole cover can be flipped open. The opening and closing operation of the manhole is simple and reliable.
[0016] Optionally, a fixed flange is provided on the top of the filter housing, the filter screen is placed on the fixed flange, the connecting flange is pressed onto the filter screen, and bolted to the fixed flange.
[0017] Optionally, a splash guard ring is provided above the spiral guide vanes inside the filter housing.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the anti-splash guard ring, the cleaning waste liquid can be effectively prevented from splashing due to excessive flow rate when it enters the filter shell from the inlet pipe, thus reducing the impact.
[0019] Optionally, the storage tank is equipped with a level gauge.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and installing a level gauge, it is convenient to observe the liquid level in the storage tank.
[0021] Optionally, the storage tank is provided with an overflow pipe, and the overflow pipe is provided with an overflow valve.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up overflow pipes and overflow valves, excessive pressure inside the storage tank is prevented, thus ensuring operational safety.
[0023] Optionally, the storage tank is provided with a sampling port, and a sampling valve is provided at the sampling port.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the sampling port and sampling valve are designed to facilitate the sampling and testing of cleaning waste liquid in the storage tank, thus improving convenience.
[0025] Optionally, a lifting ring is provided on the top of the liquid storage tank.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rings facilitate the hoisting and relocation of this liquid storage tank.
[0027] Optionally, the bottom of the storage tank is provided with a base, and the sewage pump is mounted on the base via a sewage pump mounting bracket.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the base facilitates support for the liquid storage tank.
[0029] Optionally, the bottom of the liquid storage tank is provided with support wheels, which include two braked directional wheels at one end and two braked swivel wheels at the other end.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, and by using braked directional wheels and braked swivel wheels, the waste liquid neutralization device of this application can be easily moved.
