Desulfurization waste water recycling and zero discharge system and method

The invention relates to a desulfurization waste water recycling and zero discharge system and method. The desulfurization waste water recycling and zero discharge system comprises a desulfurization tower, a filter and a nanofiltration device which are sequentially connected, wherein a scale inhibitor dosing device is arranged at the inlet of the nanofiltration device, the concentrated water outlet of the nanofiltration device is connected with the desulfurization tower, the fresh water outlet of the nanofiltration device is connected with a saline water concentrating device, the fresh water outlet of the saline water concentrating device is connected with a fresh water tank, the concentrated water outlet of the salt water concentrating device is connected with a crystallizer, and the condensed water outlet of the crystallizer is connected with the fresh water tank; a drying encapsulating machine is arranged at the solid outlet of the crystallizer. The desulfurization waste water recycling and zero discharge system has the advantages that desulfurization waste water discharged from the desulfurization tower is filtered and then is fed into the nanofiltration device, nanofiltration concentrated water returns to the desulfurization tower, nanofiltration fresh water is treated by virtue of the salt water concentrating device and then is crystallized by virtue of the crystallizer, the obtained fresh water is recycled in the fresh water tank, and salt is separated out, dried into crystallized salt and transported outside after being encapsulated, so that zero discharge of the desulfurization waste water is realized, quality of the recycled fresh water is improved, and a chemical agent and operating cost are saved.

Fully integrated NF-thermal seawater desalination process and equipment

InactiveUS20060157410A1High yieldEffectively and efficiently dealGeneral water supply conservationReverse osmosisDistillationEngineering
An optimal thermal seawater desalination process is disclosed, which combines two or more substantially different water pretreatment processes in a unique manner and in a special configuration, hereto unknown to prior desalination arts, to produce a high yield of high quality fresh water, including potable water. In this process a two stage NF membrane pretreatment unit (NF2) with an energy recovery turbo charger (TC) device in between the stages or equipped with an energy recovery pressure exchanger (PX) is synergistically combined with at least one thermal desalination unit to form a dual hybrid of NF2-Thermal (FIG. 4 ), or alternatively the two stage NF2 unit is synergistically combined with a two stage SWRO unit (SWRO2) with an energy recovery TC in between the stages or combined with one stage SWRO (SWRO1) equipped with an energy recovery TC or PX system and the reject from the SWRO2 or SWRO1 unit is made make-up to a thermal unit to form a tri-hybrid of NF2-SWRO2 reject-Thermal (FIG. 5 ). In both the cases of di- or trihybrids the thermal unit is equivalent to a multistage flash distillation (MSFD) or multieffect distillation (MED) or vapor compression distillation (VCD) or thermal reheat (RH) evaporator. Typically a process of this invention using the two stage NF2 initial pretreatment step will perform a semi-desalination step by reducing feed TDS by about 35 to 50%, but most important, especially to the thermal seawater desalination process, it removes the water recovery limiting, scale forming hardness ions of Ca++ and Mg++ by better than 80% and their covalent anions of sulfate to better than 95% and bicarbonate to about 65%. The removal of scale forming hardness ions, especially SO4=, and bicarbonates allowed for the operation of thermal unit in the above hybrids at top brine temperature (TBT) much greater than its present TBT limit by the singular conventional process of 120° C. for MSFD and operation of MED or VCD or RH unit at TBT much higher than their present TBT limit of 65-70° C., with many advantages gained by this process over prior art sweater desalination processes. The process of this invention exceeds all prior thermal seawater desalination arts in efficiency, including water yield, product water recovery ratio and unit water cost as well as in energy consumption per unit product which is equivalent or less than other efficient prior art seawater thermal desalination processes. By this process, an NF product recovery ratio of 75 and 80% or better is achieved from the high salinity Gulf sea (TDS≈45,000 ppm) and about an equal product recovery ratio is also obtained from the SWRO or thermal unit when it is operated on NF product for a total water recovery ratio in excess of 52% for seawater

Rotary annular crossflow filter, degasser, and sludge thickener

ActiveUS20090159523A1Accelerate scrubbing reactionAvoid emissionsLiquid degasificationSludge treatmentHigh energySludge
A rotating annular crossflow filter shears radially outward flowing axial feed between counter-rotating coaxial centrifugal impellers. A radial impedance of flow at the impeller periphery slows the radially outward flow and increases residence time of feed between the impellers. Shear lift ejects solids from the boundary layer at the filter surface, and ejected solids collect by centrifugation at the impeller periphery, where they thicken into a sludge and are extruded. Gases, oils, floating solids, and fractions having a specific gravity less than water evolve into radial vortices and are sucked radially inward and out from between the impellers by an axial pump. Three way phase separation proceeds continuously in one pass through a simple mechanical device having a long residence time for feed in the processing zone.
Opposing rugose portions of counter-rotating impeller surfaces cause audio frequency pressure pulses. At the impeller periphery, the pressure pulses milk liquid out of sludge. At the portion of the radial passage prior to the filter, pressure pulses evolve gases and degassed cavitation bubbles inactivate microbes. Degassing of the high energy forced periodic cavitation bubbles between the impellers removes the cushion of noncondensibles which would otherwise absorb energy on compression, therefore implosion becomes extremely violent and a barrage of high pressure pulses and ultraviolet light pulses inactivates microbes.
Applications include field water purification, municipal and industrial wastewater degassing and sludge thickening, swimming pool filtration, effluent dewatering, wine and beverage degassing and clarification, fruit crushing, olive oil dewatering, produced brine and drilling mud processing, manure slurry dewatering and degassing, and recovery of solvents and fine suspended solids from fluid mixtures such as wastewater from machining operations.
