Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial waste gas and wastewater purification, specifically relating to a device for separating and sealing off recycled waste liquid. Background Technology

[0002] Adsorbents are commonly used materials for separating target components from gases or liquids, and typically possess recyclable properties. Adsorbent regeneration refers to the process of removing or decomposing the adsorbate adsorbed on the adsorbent surface using physical or chemical methods without damaging the original structure of the adsorbent, thereby restoring its adsorption performance and allowing the adsorbent to be reused. Regeneration enables the recycling of adsorbents, reduces treatment costs, and minimizes waste generation. Currently, commonly used regeneration methods include thermal regeneration, chemical regeneration, biological regeneration, microwave radiation, and solvent regeneration. Among these, thermal regeneration is the most widely used and technologically mature method. It typically involves heating the adsorbent with a high-temperature medium, causing the adsorbed pollutants to detach from the adsorbent and thus restoring its adsorption function. Common methods include hot air regeneration, steam regeneration, and inert gas regeneration.

[0003] With the increasing use of adsorbent regeneration processes in industry, the proper treatment of the regenerated wastewater, a pollutant, has become a significant environmental issue. Appropriate equipment and methods should be selected based on the composition and properties of the wastewater to ensure its rational, safe, and efficient treatment and recycling, thereby achieving the goals of environmental protection, economic efficiency, and safeguarding human health.

[0004] Currently, the recycled wastewater is directly sent to sewage treatment plants. If the wastewater contains special media, it needs to be recycled by qualified manufacturers. Direct sewage treatment sometimes involves large volumes of wastewater with complex compositions, which conventional sewage treatment methods may not be able to handle entirely. The treated wastewater is discharged directly, usually in an open manner, which easily generates VOCs, resulting in a poor working environment. Furthermore, environmental protection measures need to be considered, increasing investment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problems in the prior art described above. To this end, it provides a device for separating and sealing regenerated waste liquid. The regenerated waste liquid first undergoes gas-liquid separation in a gas-liquid separator. Some of the entrained gas in the waste liquid is separated into a gas phase, which is discharged through an air venting pipeline. Then, the liquid phase after gas-liquid separation undergoes oil-water separation in the same separator. The upper layer of wastewater after oil-water separation is transported to a wastewater treatment unit for treatment through a wastewater discharge pipeline, while the lower layer of waste liquid after oil-water separation is sent for external treatment through a waste liquid discharge pipeline. The entire external discharge process is automatically controlled by an automatic control system.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a device for separating and sealing regenerated waste liquid, including: a waste liquid cooler and a gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator has a first lower baffle and a second lower baffle extending upwards from the bottom along the material flow direction, but not reaching the top of the gas-liquid separator, dividing the internal space into a front space, a middle space, and a rear space. An upper baffle extending downwards from the top, but not reaching the bottom of the gas-liquid separator, is provided in the middle space of the gas-liquid separator.

[0008] A waste liquid discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the middle space of the gas-liquid separator, and a wastewater discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the rear space of the gas-liquid separator.

[0009] The tube-side inlet of the waste liquid cooler, i.e., the hot medium inlet, is connected to the waste liquid source pipeline. The shell-side inlet of the waste liquid cooler, i.e., the cold medium inlet, is connected to the circulating water supply pipeline. The shell-side outlet, i.e., the cold medium outlet, is connected to the circulating water return pipeline. The tube-side outlet of the waste liquid cooler, i.e., the hot medium outlet, is connected to the waste liquid inlet separator pipeline. The waste liquid inlet separator pipeline enters from the top of the front space of the gas-liquid separator and extends to the lower part or bottom of the front space of the gas-liquid separator. The top gas phase inlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the pressurizing gas pipeline. The top gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the flare system through the venting gas pipeline. The bottom liquid phase outlet of the rear space of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the sewage treatment unit through the wastewater discharge pipeline. The bottom liquid phase outlet of the middle space of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the waste liquid discharge pipeline.

[0010] Further, the heights of the first lower baffle and the second lower baffle are 0.75±0.05D and 0.7±0.05D, respectively, and the height of the upper baffle is 0.5±0.05D. Preferably, the heights of the first lower baffle and the second lower baffle are 0.75±0.02D and 0.7±0.02D, respectively, and the height of the upper baffle is 0.5±0.02D. More preferably, the heights of the first lower baffle and the second lower baffle are 0.75D and 0.7D, respectively, and the height of the upper baffle is 0.5D, where D is the inner diameter or internal space height of the gas-liquid separator. The first lower baffle, the second lower baffle, and the upper baffle traverse the entire transverse space, that is, they are connected to the side walls on both transverse sides of the gas-liquid separator.

[0011] Furthermore, the positions of the first and second lower baffles are such that the front and rear spaces each account for 10-30% of the total interior space, preferably 15-25%, for example 20%, and the middle space accounts for 40-80% of the total interior space, preferably 50-70%, for example 60%. The upper baffle can be positioned between the first and second lower baffles, preferably closer to the second lower baffle, and can consist of one or more upper baffles, for example, two.

[0012] Furthermore, the waste liquid cooler adopts a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with the shell side being a circulating water system and the waste liquid flowing through the tube side.

[0013] Furthermore, the gas-liquid separator is horizontal and cylindrical, comprising a cylindrical body and end caps located on both sides of the cylindrical body for sealing. A first support is installed at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator for support and fixation. An external heat tracing pipe (e.g., a steam heat tracing pipe) is installed outside the gas-liquid separator to maintain a certain temperature inside, for example, around 80°C. The gas-liquid separator has a material inlet (connected to the waste liquid inlet pipe), a steam inlet, a coke oven gas inlet, a vent, a first thermometer port located at the top of the middle space, a liquid outlet located at the bottom of the front space, an oil outlet located at the bottom of the middle space, a water outlet located in the rear space, a second thermometer port located at the bottom of the middle space, a safety valve port, an upper inlet of the liquid level gauge in the rear chamber of the separator, a lower inlet of the liquid level gauge in the rear chamber of the separator, an upper inlet of the liquid level gauge in the front chamber of the separator, a lower inlet of the liquid level gauge in the front chamber of the separator, an upper inlet of the interface gauge, a lower inlet of the interface gauge, a first external heat tracing pipe steam inlet, a first external heat tracing pipe steam outlet, a second external heat tracing pipe steam inlet, a second external heat tracing pipe steam outlet, a first manhole, and a second manhole.

[0014] Furthermore, the device also includes an automatic control system, which includes a control system, a separator mid-cavity interface gauge, a separator rear-cavity level gauge, a first valve, and a second valve. A separator rear-cavity level gauge is installed in the rear space of the gas-liquid separator, and a second valve is installed on the wastewater discharge pipeline. The separator rear-cavity level gauge is communicatively connected to the control system, and the control system is communicatively connected to the second valve. The separator rear-cavity level gauge on the gas-liquid separator transmits a level signal to the control system, which then controls the opening and closing of the second valve, i.e., controls the wastewater discharge. A separator mid-cavity interface gauge is installed in the middle space of the gas-liquid separator, and a first valve is installed on the wastewater discharge pipeline. The separator mid-cavity interface gauge is communicatively connected to the control system, and the control system is communicatively connected to the first valve. The separator mid-cavity interface gauge on the gas-liquid separator transmits a level signal to the control system, which then controls the opening and closing of the first valve, i.e., controls the wastewater discharge. The separator's intermediate cavity interface gauges may include a first and a second intermediate cavity interface gauge, respectively installed in the upper and side parts of the intermediate space of the gas-liquid separator. The separator's rear cavity level gauges may include a first and a second rear cavity level gauge, respectively installed at the top and bottom of the rear space of the gas-liquid separator. When the height of one interface gauge reaches a set value, the automatic valve (first valve) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline opens for external discharge. The interface gauges are generally interlocked at 50-60% of their range. When the liquid level of the interface gauge reaches a set low value (for example, a liquid level of 200mm at the bottom of the tank is typically considered), the automatic valve (first valve) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline closes to stop external discharge. When the height of one level gauge reaches a set value, the automatic valve (second valve) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline opens for external discharge. When the liquid level of the level gauge reaches a set low value, the automatic valve (second valve) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline closes to stop external discharge. Preferably, the level gauge in the rear chamber of the first separator is a radar level gauge, and the level gauge in the rear chamber of the second separator is a magnetic float level gauge. The level gauges in the rear chambers of the first and second separators can be installed on the top and side of the gas-liquid separator.

[0015] Furthermore, a liquid level gauge is installed in the front space of the gas-liquid separator to detect the amount of liquid entering the separator.

[0016] Furthermore, a density meter is also installed in the middle space of the gas-liquid separator. The density meter can be installed on the lower side of the tank to monitor the oil-water separation status.

[0017] Furthermore, the waste liquid cooler adopts a shell-and-tube heat exchanger; the gas-liquid separator adopts a horizontal gas-liquid separator; and the first valve and the second valve are pneumatically operated automatic control valves.

[0018] The process using the above-mentioned regenerated waste liquid separation and closed-loop discharge device includes the following steps: The regenerated waste liquid (i.e., the regenerated waste liquid from the deoiling and denaphthalene removal tower in coke oven gas utilization, with a temperature of approximately 250±5℃ before cooling) enters the waste liquid cooler through the regenerated waste liquid feed pipeline, where it exchanges heat with the circulating water (with a temperature of approximately 32±5℃ before heat exchange) entering the waste liquid cooler through the circulating water supply pipeline. The circulating water after heat exchange (with a temperature of approximately 40±5℃ after heat exchange) is discharged through the circulating water return pipeline, and the cooled regenerated waste liquid ( The cooled regenerated waste liquid (temperature approximately 80±5℃) enters a gas-liquid separator (temperature maintained at 70~80℃) for gas-liquid and oil-water separation (generally allowed to stand for 1~3 hours, preferably 2 hours). The separator has two baffles (a first lower baffle and a second lower baffle) at the bottom, dividing the container into front, middle, and rear spaces. An upper baffle is also installed in the middle section. The front space receives liquid and acts as a buffer, while the middle space allows for static separation (impurities settle at the bottom). The rear space stores the separated upper layer of clear water. A steam tracing pipe is installed on the outer wall of the separator, and a separator thermometer and pressure gauge are located on the top of the tank to control the separator's operating temperature and pressure. Waste liquid first enters the bottom of the front space of the separator through the inlet pipe. During this process, gas-liquid separation occurs. The process gas mixed in the liquid automatically rises to the upper space of the separator. The separated gas phase can be discharged through the vent pipe at the top of the container. The liquid phase overflows into the middle space through the first lower baffle as the liquid level rises. The middle space has the largest volume. The liquid undergoes static stratification separation in this space. The upper water overflows into the rear space through the second lower baffle. At the same time, an upper baffle is provided in the middle to avoid disturbance of the liquid and ensure that the upper water can flow smoothly. The mixture of oil, naphthalene and other substances settles at the bottom of the middle space. Thus, the rear of the separator is mainly composed of upper water, while the middle part is mainly composed of a mixture of oil, naphthalene and other substances with higher density. Two interface gauges (first separator cavity interface gauge and second separator cavity interface gauge) are installed in the middle of the separator tank. When the height of one interface gauge reaches the set value, the automatic valve (first valve) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline opens to discharge the liquid. When the liquid level of the interface gauge reaches the set low value, the automatic valve (first valve) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline closes to stop the discharge. Two level gauges (first separator rear cavity level gauge and second separator rear cavity level gauge) are installed at the rear of the separator tank. When the height of one level gauge reaches the set value, the automatic valve (second valve) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline opens to discharge the liquid. When the liquid level of the level gauge reaches the set low value, the automatic valve (second valve) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline closes to stop the discharge. A level gauge (separator front cavity level gauge) is installed in the front space of the separator to detect the amount of liquid entering the separator. A densitometer is also installed in the middle to measure the density properties of the stratified media. Sight glasses are installed on the drainage and discharge pipelines for easy observation of the discharge process.The liquid discharge is carried out by pneumatic conveying. The pressing gas can be nitrogen, compressed air, process gas, etc., and the conveying pressure is 0.2~0.6MPa.

[0019] The recycled waste liquid first enters the bottom of the front space of the gas-liquid separator. This front space serves as a buffer to receive the liquid. As the liquid level rises, it overflows through the first lower baffle into the middle space, which has the largest volume. The oil-water interface level rises, allowing the oil and water to separate. The upper layer of water overflows through the second lower baffle into the rear space. Oil, naphthalene, and other mixtures settle at the bottom of the middle space. An upper baffle is also installed in the middle space to prevent fluid disturbance and ensure proper oil-water stratification. The gas phase separated from the liquid is released through the vent. The material is discharged into the flare system via the feed line. The liquid phase separated by gas-liquid separation undergoes further oil-water separation. When the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator is 85-95% of its height, preferably about 90%, the pressurizing gas enters the gas-liquid separator through the pressurizing gas feed line and is sent out under pressure. The liquid phase after oil-water separation is pressurized by the pressurizing gas and discharged from the gas-liquid separator. The wastewater in the liquid phase after oil-water separation is sent to the sewage treatment plant through the wastewater discharge pipeline, and the waste liquid in the liquid phase after oil-water separation is transported out for treatment through the waste liquid discharge pipeline.

[0020] Furthermore, the regenerated waste liquid is the waste liquid generated by using steam to regenerate the adsorbent or packing material; preferably, the main components of the regenerated waste liquid include water, oil and naphthalene; for example, the regenerated waste liquid is the regenerated waste liquid from the oil and naphthalene removal tower in coke oven gas utilization or the regenerated waste liquid in the process of coal gas purification and gas pretreatment.

[0021] Furthermore, the pressing gas is selected from nitrogen or process gas, and the process gas is selected from coke oven gas or raw material gas; the conveying pressure of the pressing gas is 0.4~0.6MPa.

The device has a small number of components, a small footprint, and the entire treatment process is completely closed, achieving closed and automatic discharge of waste liquid. There is virtually no VOC emission during the treatment process, effectively maximizing environmental protection and efficiency. Existing technologies typically involve direct discharge, which easily generates VOCs, creates a poor working environment, and requires environmental protection measures, increasing investment. With this utility model, the entire system is closed, eliminating VOC emissions, providing a friendly operating environment, and eliminating the need for separate environmental protection measures, thus saving on investment. Venting into the flare is also for safety and environmental protection reasons, preventing combustible gases and VOCs from entering the atmosphere. Attached Figure Description

The liquid (the temperature of the cooled regenerated waste liquid is approximately 80±5℃) enters the gas-liquid separator 6 (temperature maintained at 70~80℃) for gas-liquid separation and oil-water separation (generally, it is allowed to stand for 1~3 hours, preferably 2 hours). The separator has two baffles (the first lower baffle and the second lower baffle) at the bottom, dividing the container into three spaces: front, middle, and rear. An upper baffle is also installed in the middle section. The front space is for receiving liquid and acting as a buffer, receiving the buffer solution. The middle space is for standing separation (impurities settle at the bottom), and the rear space stores the separated upper layer of clear water. A steam tracing pipe 22 is installed on the outer wall of the separator, and a separator thermometer 17 and a separator pressure gauge 23 are installed on the top of the tank to control the working temperature and pressure of the separator. Waste liquid first enters the bottom of the front space of the separator through the inlet pipe. During this process, gas-liquid separation occurs. The process gas mixed in the liquid automatically rises to the upper space of the separator. The separated gas phase can be discharged through the vent pipe at the top of the container. The liquid phase overflows into the middle space through the first lower baffle 12 as the liquid level rises. The middle space has the largest volume. The liquid is settled and separated into layers in this space. The upper water overflows into the rear space through the second lower baffle 13. At the same time, an upper baffle 14 is provided in the middle to avoid disturbance of the liquid and ensure that the upper water can flow smoothly. The mixture of oil, naphthalene and other substances settles at the bottom of the middle space. Thus, the rear of the separator is mainly the upper water, while the middle part is mainly the mixture of oil, naphthalene and other substances with higher density. Two interface gauges (interface gauge 16 in the first separator cavity and interface gauge 21 in the second separator cavity) are installed in the middle of the separator tank. When the height of one interface gauge reaches the set value, the automatic valve (XV01) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline opens to discharge the liquid. When the liquid level of the interface gauge reaches the set low value, the automatic valve (XV01) of the interlocked waste liquid pipeline closes to stop the discharge. Two level gauges (level gauge 18 in the rear cavity of the first separator and level gauge 19 in the rear cavity of the second separator) are installed at the rear of the separator tank. When the height of one level gauge reaches the set value, the automatic valve (XV02) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline opens to discharge the liquid. When the liquid level of the level gauge reaches the set low value, the automatic valve (XV02) of the interlocked wastewater pipeline closes to stop the discharge. The front space of the separator is equipped with a level gauge (separator front chamber level gauge 15) to detect the amount of liquid entering, while the middle is equipped with a densitometer (separator densitometer 20) to measure the density properties of the stratified medium. The drainage and liquid discharge pipelines are equipped with sight glasses 24 to facilitate observation of the external discharge.The liquid discharge is carried out by pneumatic conveying. The pressing gas can be nitrogen, compressed air, process gas, etc., and the conveying pressure is 0.2~0.6MPa.

[0047] The recycled waste liquid first enters the bottom of the front space of the gas-liquid separator 6. This front space serves as a buffer to receive the liquid. As the liquid level rises, it overflows through the first lower baffle 12 into the middle space. The middle space has the largest volume, causing the oil-water interface level to rise and allowing for separation. The upper layer of water overflows through the second lower baffle 13 into the rear space. Oil, naphthalene, and other mixtures settle at the bottom of the middle space. An upper baffle 14 is also installed in the middle space to prevent fluid disturbance and ensure proper oil-water stratification. The gas phase separated from the liquid... The liquid phase separated by the gas-liquid separation is discharged into the flare system through the venting pipeline. The liquid phase is further separated into oil and water. When the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator 6 is 85-95% of its height, preferably about 90%, the pressurizing gas enters the gas-liquid separator 6 through the pressurizing gas inlet pipeline. The liquid phase after oil-water separation is pressurized by the pressurizing gas and discharged from the gas-liquid separator 6. The wastewater in the liquid phase after oil-water separation is sent to the sewage treatment through the wastewater discharge pipeline. The waste liquid in the liquid phase after oil-water separation is transported out for treatment through the waste liquid discharge pipeline.

[0048] In the above process, the entire treatment process is completely closed, realizing the closed and automatic discharge of waste liquid. There is basically no VOC emission during the treatment process, so there is no need to consider environmental protection measures separately, which can save this part of the investment.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, the regenerated waste liquid is the waste liquid generated by using steam to regenerate the adsorbent or packing material; preferably, the main components of the regenerated waste liquid include water, oil and naphthalene; for example, the regenerated waste liquid is the regenerated waste liquid from the oil and naphthalene removal tower in coke oven gas utilization or the regenerated waste liquid in the process of coal gas purification and gas pretreatment.

[0050] In another preferred embodiment, the pressing gas is selected from nitrogen, process gas, and the process gas is selected from coke oven gas or raw material gas; the conveying pressure of the pressing gas is 0.4~0.6MPa. Example 1
