Operation of the pre-boiler (pre-evaporation) installation

water treatment.

The chemical treatment plant is intended for the preparation of feed water for evaporation plants and chemically purified water for feeding the heating network.

Water treatment scheme - two-stage sodium - cationization. Productivity - 45 t/hour.

1. The essence of the Na-cationization process.

1.1Softening of raw water on filters occurs by filtering raw water through a backfill material - cation exchanger, which is a synthetic resin capable of exchanging its own cations (Na+) for calcium and magnesium cations dissolved in water.

1.2This method of water treatment is called the “Ion exchange method”. In general, the process of ion exchange with an active sodium ion can be represented in the form of the following equations:

2 NaK + Ca (HSO3 ) 2  2 NaNSO3 + SaK2

2 NaK+ Mg(NSO3 ) 2  2 NaNSO3 + MgTO2

The reaction with CaCl2 and other hardness salts proceeds similarly, where TO- a part of the cation exchange molecule that is insoluble in water, has a negative charge and acts as a monovalent anion.

As can be seen from the above reactions, instead of calcium and magnesium salts in the treated water, an equivalent amount of easily soluble bicarbonate sodium salts is formed, as a result of which the hardness is reduced to 10 and below µg eq/l, and the alkalinity and ionic composition of the water remain unchanged due to the replacement of calcium ions and magnesium to the strongly alkaline sodium ion. As a result of the ion exchange reaction, the total salt content of chemically purified water increases slightly, as a result of the replacement of calcium and magnesium with sodium.

All HVO filters, except mechanical ones, are filled with imported cation exchange resin. similar to the domestic cation exchanger KU-2-8.

When the filter is put into operation, ion exchange first occurs in the upper layers of the cation resin loaded into the filter and, as the upper layers are depleted, it drops lower and lower, until hardness salts leak into the chemically purified water. This means that complete replacement of ions has occurred Na to ions Sa And Mg and the filter should be put out for regeneration.

During regeneration, which is carried out with a solution of table salt NaWITHl , ions Na+ displace hardness ions from the cation exchanger Ca2+ And Mg2+ , which are discharged into the sewer with regeneration water. Ion substitution Ca2+ And Mg2+ to ions Na+ proceed according to the following formula:

SaK2 + n2NaWITHl SaSl2 + 2 NaTO

MgTO2 + n2NaWITHl MgWITHl2 + 2 NaTO

Where - P - excess table salt against the calculated ratio of exchanged ions. Thus, the cation exchanger is ready for use again.

Technical data and brief description of tailings equipment.

1. The HVO equipment includes:

2. Cation filters They are cylindrical vessels equipped with a lower drainage device, consisting of a central collector and a system of pipes emanating from both sides along the entire perimeter of the filters.

In the upper part of the drainage pipes emanating from the central collector, slots 0.3 - 0.4 mm wide are made to drain water and trap cation exchange resin grains. All drainage devices are made of stainless steel.

All filters are equipped with an overhead distribution device. in the form of rays emanating from the central pipe.

The distribution device is designed to drain water during loosening of the cation exchanger and when the filter operates in a counterflow pattern. Filter No. 4 can operate in a countercurrent scheme and is equipped with an upper distribution device with slotted beams to prevent the removal of cation resin. The beams are arranged in three tiers (to increase the filter capacity), the beams of the remaining filters are made with holes with diameters of 8-10 mm for uniform distribution of water over the filtration area.

The inner surface of the filter and the bottom are covered with anti-corrosion protection. The bottom of the filter, up to the drainage device, is concreted. Quartz sand of a fraction of 1-3 mm with a layer thickness of up to 100 mm is poured on top to prevent clogging of the rays and reduce the removal of the fine fraction of cation exchange resin from the filter.

There are two hatches at the top and bottom of the filter. The upper hatch is used to inspect the level of the filled material and the condition of the upper distribution device, and the lower hatch is used to carry out repair work and unload the cation exchanger. The filter is equipped with two sampling points: the left one is for sampling raw water, the right one is for sampling chemically treated water. (When filter No. 4 operates in a counter-flow pattern, the selection points will be used in reverse). The filters are equipped with two pressure gauges at the inlet and outlet of water from the filter to monitor the operating pressure and compaction of the backfill material by pressure difference.

3. Wet salt storage bin used for storage and preparation

concentrated salt solution (26%). The bunker consists of two cells with a volume of 18 m3 that do not communicate with each other. Each cell is equipped with a well for collecting salt solution and its own salt pump. The concrete walls and bottom of the wet salt storage bin are protected by waterproof insulation.

4. Salt pumps serve for supplying a concentrated salt solution to the chemical treatment plant, into the salt measuring tank, as well as for mixing the saline solution in the cells and pumping the saline solution from one cell to another.

5.Salt measuring tank (salt solvent) serves for measuring the amount of saline solution required for regeneration, when preparing a working salt solution and for filtering a concentrated salt solution supplied from wet storage cells.

List and brief description of equipping chemical control equipment with chemical control devices.

The HVO is equipped with the following chemical control devices:

salinity meter (hardness meter) for the maximum salt content of chemical substances behind the barrier filter

brine concentrator

water supply flow meter for loosening filters of the first stage of cleaning

flow meter for water outlet from the waste water treatment plant (behind barrier filters)

a flow meter for the consumption of chemical chemicals after the intermediate tanks of chemical chemicals.

When a large amount of hardness salts leaks behind the barrier filter, an alarm is triggered and the warning light comes on. See “Operating instructions for the CWA salt content alarm behind the barrier filter.”

The procedure for preparing for start-up, start-up, shutdown and maintenance of the water treatment plant during operation.

1. Before putting it into operation, it is necessary to check whether there are any defects that prevent the filter from turning on:

leaks of valves and pipelines.

serviceability of sampling points. pressure gauges and air vents.

free access to the filter and proper lighting.

2. To put filters No. 5 and 6 into operation, open fittings No. 2, the outlet of chemically treated water from the filter, then open fittings No. 1, the water supply to the filter, and the air vent. When water appears from the vent, it must be closed.

3. When filter No. 4 is put into operation using a counterflow scheme, open valves No. 2a and No. 3. When filter No. 4 is put into operation according to the usual scheme, open valves No. 1/F-4, 2/F-4

4. While the filter is operating, you must monitor:

pressure on the filter according to the pressure gauge. The pressure should not exceed 0.6 MPa (6 kgf/cm2)

for the removal of cation exchange resin from the filter, from the right sampling point (for filters No. 5-9), hourly during the selection of chemically treated water for analysis. If the removal of at least a few large grains of cation exchange resin is detected, the filter should be immediately turned off and taken out for repairs to determine the cause cation exchanger getting into chemically treated water.

make an hourly entry in the statement about the consumption of chemically treated water

based on the pressure difference (readings of pressure gauges at the inlet and outlet of water from the filters). The pressure drop across the filter depends on the water flow and should not be

higher than indicated in the table:

If the pressure drop increases above that indicated in the table, the filter is taken out for repair to determine the cause.

5. When turning off the filter for regeneration, you must:

close valves No. 1 and No. 2 sequentially (on filters No. 5-9)

open the air vent and reduce the pressure on the filter to 0

Record the duration of filter operation in hours in the regeneration log.

When filter No. 4 is operating in a counterflow pattern, close valves No. 2a/F-4, 3/F-4

6. Due to the prolonged operation of barrier filters, the pressure drop on them may be higher than that indicated in table No. 1. In this case, the barrier filter must be loosened with chemically purified water for 5-10 minutes, and then put back into operation.

Filter regeneration.

1. The filter regeneration process includes 3 operations:

loosening

skipping salt

washing

Note: When filter No. 4 operates in a counterflow pattern. regeneration takes place without the “Loosening” operation. After turning off the filter, you must immediately pass salt through it in accordance with clause 5.3.

2.Loosening the filter .

2.1. Loosening the filter is necessary to eliminate compaction of the caked mass of cation exchange resin and to ensure free access of the regeneration solution to the cation exchange resin grains. In addition, during loosening, fine particles, sludge, corrosion products, and worn-out particles of cation exchanger accumulated in the cation exchanger layer and on its surface are removed. The duration of the filter operation largely depends on the quality of the loosening operation. those. technical and economic indicators of HVO operation.

2.2. When loosening the cation exchanger, water is supplied to the lower part of the filter through the lower drainage device and discharged through the upper distribution device and air vent.

2.3. When loosening it is necessary:

open the vent on the filter

open valve No. 4 (drainage)

open valve No. 3 for water supply for loosening

2.4. The water consumption for loosening is controlled by a flow meter installed on the water treatment plant and is regulated by valve No. 4. Water consumption for loosening should be 3-4 l.sec/m2 or 18-20 m3/hour.

2.5. The duration of the loosening operation is until clean water free of foreign impurities comes out from the left sampling point. but no more than 40 minutes. During loosening, the HVO operator takes water samples every 5 minutes from the left sampling point to check the quality of loosening.

2.6. After finishing the loosening process, close sequentially:

valve No. 3 - water supply for loosening

valve No. 4 - drainage

AQUA-Compositeprovides services in the field selection of reagents and equipment for establishing the correct water-chemical regime of steam, water-heating boiler houses and cooling systems










INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTAINING WATER CHEMICAL REGIME




1. Organize a water chemistry regime in order to ensure reliable operation of pipelines and other equipment without damage and reduced efficiency caused by metal corrosion. Avoid the formation of scale, deposits and sludge on heat transfer surfaces of equipment and pipelines in boiler rooms, heat supply and heat consumption systems.

2. The organization of the water-chemical operating mode of the equipment and its control is carried out by trained personnel of the chemical laboratory or structural unit organizations. The organization has the right to attract other specialized organizations to monitor the water chemistry regime.

3. The frequency of chemical control of the water-chemical regime of equipment is established by a specialized commissioning organization, taking into account the quality of the source water and the condition of the operating equipment.
Frequency of quality control of source, make-up and network water, as well as water at points of the distribution network of heat sources and heating networks with open system heat supply is determined in accordance with the requirements of sanitary standards and regulations. Based on the frequency, a chemical control schedule for the water chemistry regime is drawn up.

4. The choice of methods for deaerating the feedwater of steam boilers and the makeup water of the heating network, methods for recharging boilers and recharging heat supply systems, and developing water treatment technologies should be carried out by a specialized (design, commissioning) organization, taking into account the quality of the source (raw) water, the purpose of the boiler room, and sanitary requirements to the coolant, requirements determined by the design of heat-consuming equipment, safe operating conditions, technical and economic indicators and in accordance with the requirements of manufacturers. The intra-boiler water chemistry regime and its correction are determined by a specialized commissioning organization based on thermal testing. Operation of boilers without pre-boiler or intra-boiler water treatment is not allowed. Any changes in design schemes and equipment designs that may affect the operation of water treatment plants, as well as the water chemistry of the boiler house, are agreed upon with a specialized (design, commissioning) organization.

5. Equipment, pipelines and fittings of water treatment plants and condensate purification plants, as well as building structures, the surfaces of which come into contact with a corrosive environment, are protected with a special anti-corrosion coating or made of corrosion-resistant materials.

6. Boiler rooms are accepted for operation only if the water treatment plant equipment is in good working order, including when the filters are fully loaded and equipped with control and measuring instruments. The composition of the water treatment plant and the method of deaeration (vacuum, atmospheric deaerator) are determined by a feasibility study during the design.

7. In all controlled sections of the steam-water path, they are installed with refrigerators to cool samples to 20-40 °C. Sampling lines and cooling surfaces of refrigerators are made of stainless steel.

8. Before putting thermal power plants into operation, you should: establish the operation of the water treatment and deaeration system with the involvement of a specialized organization, test the strength and density of the deaerator and water treatment devices for feed and make-up water. If there is no steam in the steam boiler room to operate the deaerator, before starting the boiler, it is only necessary to perform a test for the strength and density of the deaerator and adjust the hydraulic part of the apparatus;
subject the boiler to reagent or water with the involvement of a specialized organization (the method of flushing the boiler, depending on local conditions, is determined by the commissioning organization). If necessary, before connecting the boiler, the devices and heat and water supply lines to which the hot water boiler is connected are washed. The boiler can be put into operation only after its flushing has been completed, when the hardness and content of dissolved oxygen in the water in front of the boiler meet the requirements of these Rules; the concentration of iron compounds should not exceed the limit values ​​by more than 50%.

9. For thermal power plants, taking into account the requirements of manufacturers, these Rules and other regulatory and technical documents, instructions for maintaining the water chemistry regime and operating instructions for the installation (installations) for pre-boiler water treatment with regime maps are developed, which must indicate:

Periodically, at least once every 3 years, with the involvement of a specialized organization, carry out an audit of water treatment equipment and its adjustment, thermochemical tests of steam and hot water boilers and adjustment of their water chemical regimes, based on the results of which the necessary adjustments should be made to the operating instructions water chemistry regime, as well as in the operating instructions for installations for pre-boiler water treatment and in the regime maps of the water chemistry regime. In this case, changes are made to the regime maps and instructions for maintaining the water chemistry regime and operating pre-boiler water treatment plants, and they themselves are re-approved.
Before the specified period, regime maps should be revised in cases of damage to boilers for reasons related to their water chemical regime, as well as when reconstructing boilers, changing the type of fuel or basic parameters (pressure, productivity, temperature of superheated steam), water chemical regime and water treatment installations, when the requirements for the quality of source and treated water change.

12. In boiler houses, an annual internal inspection of the main equipment (drums and boiler manifolds) and auxiliary equipment of water treatment plants (filters, warehouses for wet storage of reagents, equipment for corrective treatment, etc.) is organized with the drawing up of reports approved by the technical manager.
Internal inspections of equipment, sampling of sediments, cutting out pipe samples, drawing up inspection reports, as well as investigation of accidents and malfunctions associated with the water chemistry regime should be carried out by the personnel of the relevant technological workshop with the participation of the personnel of the chemical workshop (laboratory or relevant department), and when in the absence of such, with the involvement of representatives of commissioning organizations under the contract.

13. In addition to the internal inspection of the equipment, samples of the most heat-stressed boiler pipes are cut out, as well as samples of deposits and sludge are taken from heaters, pipelines and other equipment.
The frequency of cutting samples of pipes of boiler equipment is established by a specialized commissioning organization when setting up the water-chemical regimes of equipment, taking into account the schedules for major repairs of equipment with the inclusion of this value in the instructions for maintaining the water-chemical regime, but not less often than through:
15,000 hours of operation of boilers operating on liquid and gaseous fuels or a mixture of them;
18,000 hours of operation of boilers operating on solid fuel or a mixture of solid and gaseous fuel.

14. The frequency of water heating equipment is set so that the specific contamination by deposits on the most heat-stressed areas of the heating surfaces of the boiler by the time it is stopped for cleaning does not exceed:
for steam boilers - 500 g/m2 when operating on gaseous and solid fuels, 300 g/m2 when operating on liquid fuel; for hot water boilers - 1000 g/m2.
For network heaters, cleaning should be carried out when the temperature rise exceeds the established standards or the hydraulic resistance increases by more than 1.5 times compared to the design data.
The method of cleaning equipment, as well as the need to take other measures to prevent corrosion and the formation of deposits, are determined by a specialized commissioning organization depending on the quantity and chemical composition deposits, as well as based on internal inspection data of the equipment. To assess the effectiveness of chemical cleaning of equipment, control samples of pipes are cut out before and after cleaning.

15. The quality of boiler water and additional water for feeding steam boilers, as well as the quality of feed water components (condensate from regenerative, network and other heaters, water from drainage tanks, tanks of low points, condensate reserve tanks and other flows) is established in the regime maps for water management -chemical regime of thermal power plants based on the results of thermochemical tests and equipment adjustment. The quality of these waters must be such that compliance with feed water quality standards is ensured. If the components of the feed water are contaminated, causing a violation of the standards, they are cleaned or discharged before being returned to the cycle.
The quality of saturated steam of steam boilers is established in water-chemical regime charts based on the results of thermal-chemical tests.

16. Direct addition of hydrazine and other toxic substances to the make-up water of heating networks and network water is not allowed.
and for corrective treatment of make-up and network water, undergo hygienic assessment in the prescribed manner for use in hot water supply practice. The residual content (concentration) of substances in water should not exceed hygienic standards.

17. Each case of supplying untreated water to feed the heating network is noted in the operational log, indicating the amount of water supplied and the source of water supply. The quality control of network water in the supply and return pipelines of each outlet is carried out using special samplers.

18. In the boiler room, it is necessary to keep a log (statement) on water treatment and the water-chemical regime of boilers to record the results of analyzes of water, steam, condensate, reagents, on boiler purging and maintenance operations of water treatment equipment in accordance with the approved regime map and the frequency of chemical control. Each time the boiler is stopped to clean the internal surfaces of its elements, a description of the physical and mechanical properties and thickness of deposits, scale and sludge is made in the water treatment log.

19. On reserve raw water lines connected to softened water or condensate lines, as well as to feed tanks, two shut-off devices and a control valve between them are installed. The shut-off elements must be in the closed position and sealed, the control valve is open. 22. for thermal power plants are established by the requirements of the manufacturer of equipment for thermal power plants. In the absence of these quality requirements, state standards should be followed.
