Description

A wastewater zero-discharge monitoring method and system Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a wastewater zero-discharge monitoring method and system. Background Technology

[0002] High-salinity wastewater from thermal power plants (such as chemical regeneration wastewater and wet desulfurization wastewater) has a complex composition, and direct discharge would cause serious environmental pollution. Currently, rotary atomization drying technology is one of the mainstream technologies in the power industry to achieve zero discharge of high-salinity wastewater. This technology uses a drying tower, which atomizes the wastewater into droplets using high-speed rotation and sprays them into the drying tower. At the same time, high-temperature flue gas from the thermal power plant is drawn into the drying tower. The high-temperature flue gas and the wastewater droplets exchange heat fully in the drying tower, quickly achieving zero discharge of wastewater.

[0003] The residence time of high-temperature flue gas in the drying tower determines the heat exchange time of the gas-liquid two-phase fluid and is a key parameter affecting the zero-emission effect of wastewater evaporation. At present, the calculation method of residence time is relatively crude. Generally, the average flow velocity of flue gas in the drying tower can only be calculated by the average of the flue gas temperature at the inlet and outlet of the drying tower, and then the residence time of flue gas can be calculated by the height of the drying tower.

[0004] However, since the drying process of wastewater in the drying tower includes two stages—constant-rate evaporation and falling-rate evaporation—the temperature of the flue gas continuously decreases during its downward flow, and the rate of temperature decrease varies, leading to corresponding changes in its flow velocity. Existing methods for calculating residence time cannot reflect the variation of flow velocity with temperature. Calculating flue gas residence time using average temperature and average flow velocity can easily lead to unreasonable operation and control of the zero-discharge wastewater system, resulting in insufficient system output or poor zero-discharge performance, which in turn seriously affects the stable operation of the system.

[0005] In addition, the physical properties of high-temperature flue gas from thermal power plants are somewhat volatile. Since these parameters are unstable and cannot be controlled, when using this high-temperature flue gas to evaporate and dry wastewater, unstable evaporation effects and malfunctions such as wet ash, blockage, and corrosion may occur, which will have a serious adverse impact on the normal operation of the drying tower.

[0006] To ensure zero wastewater discharge, it is necessary to adopt a more reasonable method to calculate the flue gas residence time and adjust the system operating parameters accordingly.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed.

[0008] Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wastewater zero-discharge monitoring method and system that fully considers the variation law of flue gas velocity in the drying tower with temperature, improves the operational stability of the drying tower, and ensures the wastewater drying effect.

[0010] This invention provides a method for monitoring zero wastewater discharge, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1: The wastewater is atomized and sent into the drying tower. High-temperature flue gas is introduced into the drying tower to evaporate and dry the atomized wastewater droplets. The temperature of the flue gas at the outlet of the drying tower, T2, is monitored in real time.

[0012] S2: Obtain the travel time t1 of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage and the travel time t2 during the decreasing-rate evaporation stage, respectively, and obtain the total residence time t of the flue gas based on the travel time t1 and the travel time t2. all , t all =t1+t2;

[0013] S3: Based on the total residence time of flue gas t all The flow rates of wastewater and flue gas are regulated, and the flue gas temperature T2 at the outlet of the drying tower is maintained at 428K-448K.

[0014] In step S1, the upper part of the drying tower is a hollow cylinder, which is the main site for wastewater evaporation and drying; the bottom of the drying tower is a hollow cone, which is mainly used for ash deposition; unless otherwise specified, the drying tower mainly refers to the hollow cylindrical part. A rotary atomizer is installed at the top of the drying tower to atomize the wastewater. The rotation speed of the rotary atomizer is controlled at 12000-18000 r / min, and the particle size of the atomized wastewater droplets is 10-60 μm.

[0015] In step S2, the evaporation process of wastewater droplets inside the drying tower includes two stages: constant-rate evaporation and decelerating evaporation. Constant-rate evaporation occurs in the upper part of the drying tower. In this stage, the moisture on the surface of the wastewater droplets rapidly exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas, causing the flue gas temperature to drop sharply and the wastewater to evaporate quickly. The dissolved salts and suspended solids in the wastewater form a solid shell, which slows down the evaporation rate. Decelerating evaporation occurs in the lower part of the drying tower. Due to the influence of the formed solid shell, the wastewater evaporates slowly, and the flue gas temperature drops slowly.

[0016] After the flue gas enters the drying tower, its vertical velocity can be calculated using the following formula:

[0017] Where: v is the vertical velocity of the flue gas; V is the volumetric flow rate of the flue gas (abbreviated as flue gas flow rate); n is the molar flow rate, calculated from the volumetric flow rate of the flue gas; R is the gas constant; T is the Kelvin temperature of the flue gas; P is the flue gas pressure; S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the drying tower, calculated from the diameter of the drying tower.

[0018] A friction thermometer is installed in the middle of the drying tower, between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage. The friction thermometer is used to detect the critical temperature of the flue gas between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage.

[0019] From the top of the drying tower to the friction-measuring thermometer, the wastewater undergoes a constant-rate evaporation phase. Within this distance, the flue gas temperature drops sharply as it moves downwards. The following linear model simulates the variation of flue gas temperature with vertical distance traveled:

[0020] T = a1L + b1

[0021] Where: L is the vertical movement distance of the flue gas (starting from the top of the drying tower); a1 and b1 are model parameters.

[0022] Let T c T1 is the reading of the friction-feed thermometer (i.e., the critical temperature of the flue gas between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage), T1 is the inlet flue gas temperature, and L1 is the distance of the friction-feed thermometer from the top of the drying tower (i.e., the vertical flow distance of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage, approximately 2.5-5.4m).

[0023] When L = 0, T = T1; when L = L1, T = T c Therefore, a1 and b1 can be obtained using the following formula:

[0024] b1 = T1

[0025] Wherein: T c T1 is the critical temperature of the flue gas between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage; L1 is the inlet flue gas temperature; and L1 is the vertical flow distance of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage.

[0026] Since the vertical velocity of the flue gas is the derivative of the vertical distance traveled and the time of travel, that is:

[0027] The flue gas travel time t (starting from the top of the drying tower) is calculated using the following formula:

[0028] When L = 0, t = 0, we can obtain:

[0029] During the constant-rate evaporation stage, let L = L1, and the movement time of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage can be calculated and denoted as t1.

[0030] That is, the travel time t1 of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage can be obtained by the following formula:

[0031] Where: t1 is the travel time of flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage; P is the flue gas pressure; S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the drying tower; n is the molar flow rate; R is the gas constant; a1 and b1 are model parameters; L1 is the vertical flow distance of flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage.

[0032] From the friction-measuring thermometer to the bottom outlet flue of the drying tower, the wastewater undergoes a slow evaporation phase. Within this distance, the flue gas temperature decreases slowly as it moves downwards. The variation of flue gas temperature with vertical distance traveled is simulated by the following linear function:

[0033] T = a²L + b²

[0034] Where: L is the vertical movement distance of the flue gas (taken as the starting point of the deceleration evaporation, denoted as L2); a2 and b2 are model parameters.

[0035] Let T2 be the outlet flue gas temperature, and h be the height of the hollow cylinder in the drying tower. When L = 0, we have T = T c When L = h - L1, T = T2. Therefore, a2 and b2 can be obtained using the following formulas:

[0036] b2 = T c

[0037] Where: T2 is the outlet flue gas temperature; T c is the critical temperature of the flue gas between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage; h is the height of the hollow cylinder in the drying tower (i.e., the height of the upper hollow cylinder in the drying tower); L1 is the vertical flow distance of the flue gas during the constant-rate evaporation stage.

[0038] The vertical velocity of the flue gas is the derivative of the vertical distance traveled with respect to the time of travel, that is:

[0039] The flue gas travel time t (with the starting point of falling evaporation as the starting point, denoted as t2) is calculated using the following formula:

[0040] When L = 0, t = 0, we can obtain:

[0041] During the slow-evaporation stage, let L = h - L1 = L2, and we can calculate the time of the flue gas movement during the slow-evaporation stage, denoted as t2.

[0042] That is, the travel time t2 of the flue gas during the slowing evaporation stage can be obtained by the following formula:

[0043] Where: t2 is the travel time of flue gas during the falling-rate evaporation stage; P is the flue gas pressure; S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the drying tower; n is the molar flow rate; R is the gas constant; a2 and b2 are model parameters; L2 is the vertical flow distance of flue gas during the falling-rate evaporation stage.

[0044] The total residence time t of the flue gas is determined according to the solids content x of the wastewater as follows: all Control range:

[0045] When the solid content x of the wastewater is x≤10%, the total residence time t of the flue gas is... all The control interval is [30s, 35s), that is, 30s ≤ t all <35s;

[0046] When the solid content x of the wastewater is 10% < x ≤ 20%, the total residence time t of the flue gas is... all The control interval is [35s, 40s), that is, 35s ≤ t all <40s;

[0047] When the solid content x of the wastewater is 20% < x ≤ 30%, the total residence time t of the flue gas is... all The control interval is [40s, 45s], that is, 40s ≤ t all ≤45s.

[0048] In addition, the gas-liquid ratio is adjusted as follows:

[0049] When the total residence time of flue gas t all When the temperature of the flue gas at the outlet of the drying tower is maintained at 428K-448K within the control range, the wastewater flow rate and flue gas flow rate are kept constant.

[0050] When the total residence time of flue gas t all When the flow rate is below the lower limit of the control range, reduce the wastewater flow rate and flue gas flow rate until the total flue gas residence time t is reached. all Within the control range, the outlet flue gas temperature T2 of the drying tower is maintained at 428K-448K, and the reduction rate of gas flow rate is controlled to not exceed the reduction rate of wastewater flow rate.

[0051] When the total residence time of flue gas t all When the flow rates exceed the upper limit of the control range, increase the wastewater flow rate and flue gas flow rate until the total flue gas residence time t is reached. all Within the control range, the outlet flue gas temperature T2 of the drying tower is maintained at 428K-448K, and the increase rate of wastewater flow rate is controlled not to exceed the increase rate of gas flow rate.

[0052] The above control method can obtain the corresponding total residence time t of flue gas based on the variable flow law of flue gas. all At the same time, based on the total residence time t of the flue gas allThe control range coordinates the flow rates of wastewater and flue gas during the operation of the drying tower, thereby effectively overcoming problems such as unstable temperature of the high-temperature flue gas entering the drying tower. This helps to avoid unstable evaporation effects and malfunctions such as wet ash, blockage, and corrosion caused by poor evaporation during the operation of the drying tower, ensuring its stable operation.

[0053] This invention also provides a wastewater zero-discharge monitoring system for implementing the above-mentioned wastewater zero-discharge monitoring method, comprising a drying tower and a controller. A rotary atomizer is installed at the top of the drying tower and connected to a wastewater pipeline. A wastewater regulating valve is installed on the wastewater pipeline. An inlet flue and an outlet flue are respectively installed at the upper and lower parts of the drying tower. A flue gas regulating valve, an inlet thermometer, and a flow meter are installed on the inlet flue. An outlet thermometer is installed on the outlet flue. A friction thermometer and a pressure gauge are installed on the drying tower. The controller includes a calculation module that can calculate the flue gas travel time t1 during the constant-rate evaporation stage, the travel time t2 during the decreasing-rate evaporation stage, and the total residence time t of the flue gas based on data fed back from the inlet thermometer, outlet thermometer, friction thermometer, flow meter, and pressure gauge. all The controller is based on the total residence time t of the flue gas. all The wastewater regulating valve and the flue gas regulating valve are controlled to regulate the wastewater flow and flue gas flow.

[0054] Specifically, the upper part of the drying tower is a hollow cylinder, and the bottom is a hollow cone. The inlet flue and outlet flue are respectively located at the upper and lower parts of the hollow cylinder. A rotary atomizer is used to atomize the wastewater, and the rotary atomizer can be located at the center of the top of the drying tower. A wastewater regulating valve is used to regulate the wastewater flow rate. A flue gas regulating valve is used to regulate the flue gas flow rate. An inlet thermometer is used to monitor the inlet flue gas temperature T1 in real time, and a flow meter is used to monitor the flue gas volumetric flow rate V in real time, which is converted to obtain the molar flow rate n. The inlet thermometer and flow meter can be installed at a depth of 1 / 2 diameter inside the inlet flue, with a spacing of 0.8-1.2m between them. An outlet thermometer is used to monitor the outlet flue gas temperature T2 in real time and can be installed at a depth of 1 / 2 diameter inside the outlet flue. A friction thermometer is used to monitor the critical temperature T between the constant-rate evaporation stage and the falling-rate evaporation stage of the flue gas in real time. c It can be installed at a depth of 1 / 8 of the diameter inside the hollow cylinder; the pressure gauge is used to monitor the flue gas pressure P in real time, and can be installed at 1 / 2 the height of the hollow cylinder and at a depth of 1 / 8 of the diameter inside the hollow cylinder.

[0055] Furthermore, based on the solids content x of the wastewater, the flow path thermometers are set up as follows:

[0056] When the solid content x of the wastewater is x≤10%, the friction temperature gauge should be set at a distance of 4.5-5.4m from the top of the drying tower.

[0057] The solids content x of the wastewater is: 10% < x ≤ 20%. The friction temperature gauge is set at a distance of 3.5-4.4m from the top of the drying tower.

[0058] The solids content x of the wastewater is 20% < x ≤ 30%. The flow temperature meter is set at a distance of 2.5-3.4m from the top of the drying tower.

[0059] This invention establishes a wastewater zero-discharge monitoring method and system based on the characteristics of wastewater during constant-rate evaporation and falling-rate evaporation stages. By monitoring key parameters, it provides a data foundation for establishing a kinetic model. The method and system fully consider the relationship between flue gas velocity and temperature in different evaporation stages, establishing linear models for flue gas movement time and distance, and deriving a kinetic model for calculating the total residence time of flue gas, thus improving the accuracy of the calculation. Furthermore, based on the calculation of the total residence time of flue gas using the kinetic model, corresponding intelligent control methods are formulated for different types of wastewater. This ensures both the wastewater treatment effect and capacity of the drying tower, while effectively overcoming various problems caused by the unstable temperature of the high-temperature flue gas entering the drying tower, improving the operational stability of the drying tower, and guaranteeing the wastewater drying effect.
