Description

Compressed gas energy storage type membrane distillation seawater desalination and desalination system and seawater desalination process thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of desalination and water treatment, relates to a desalination and desalination technology of membrane distillation seawater or brackish water capable of storing energy, and particularly relates to a compressed gas energy storage type membrane distillation seawater desalination and desalination system and a seawater desalination process thereof.
Background
Water resources and energy resources are important bases for survival and development of human society, and the environmental problems caused by excessive exploitation of underground water focus the sight of people on sufficient seawater resources. Nowadays, seawater desalination technology is widely applied worldwide, and can be divided into two types, thermal desalination and membrane desalination, according to the water production principle. The membrane distillation technology belongs to a new seawater desalination technology, and has the advantages of pure distillate, normal-pressure operation and low requirement on an external heat source, so that the membrane distillation technology is widely concerned. However, the membrane distillation process has high energy consumption, and the water production efficiency is different from that of the traditional methods such as reverse osmosis, so that the large-scale industrial popularization is not yet realized. The utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and the like makes membrane distillation promising as a competitive desalination technology. The solar energy drives the membrane distillation seawater desalination system, reduces the unit water production energy consumption of the thermal membrane coupling system to the maximum extent, and has wide prospect for promoting the industrial application of the membrane distillation seawater desalination.
At present, a mode that a low-temperature multi-effect seawater evaporation system (MEE) and a reverse osmosis membrane seawater desalination System (SWRO) are operated in parallel is mostly adopted in a hot membrane coupling system, namely a hot method system and a membrane method system share one seawater pretreatment unit, and then, after inflow seawater is treated by the two systems which are operated independently, prepared fresh water is mixed according to a certain proportion, so that the concentration requirement of water is met. For example, the solar heat collecting pipe bundle type seawater desalination device mentioned in chinese patent CN 109970151 a adopts a hydrophobic microporous membrane for distillation desalination, and places a membrane module above a compound parabolic concentrator, thereby solving the problem of non-uniform concentration effect when solar energy is used for heating. Chinese patent CN105771662A proposes a membrane distillation device using a photovoltaic solar heat pump, which supplies power to the heat pump by means of a photovoltaic power generation technology, and reduces energy consumption for processing feed liquid. Chinese patent CN108083369A proposes an integrated seawater desalination system that utilizes a series-connected photovoltaic photo-thermal module to heat and generate power for a membrane distillation system at the same time, which improves the integration level and convenience between systems. Chinese patent CN101302048A proposes a membrane distillation seawater desalination system, in which the seawater outlet and the steam outlet of the membrane module are connected to a heat pump to realize the recovery of steam heat from seawater, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency. Chinese patent CN103708665A proposes a wind power and solar power complementary seawater desalination system, which is coupled in series with a multi-effect evaporation desalination system to provide inlet water for a membrane desalination unit.
The thermal desalination units of the thermal film coupling system all adopt a multi-effect seawater evaporation system, have higher requirements on physical space and are complex to install and maintain. The thermal method unit does not adopt an effective energy recovery technology, the energy utilization rate is not high, renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and the like for power generation are sensitive to changes of factors such as seasons, climates and the like, the structure of a coupling system is not flexible enough, and the coupling system has great limitation on different process requirements.

Water in the heat collection unit is driven by a circulating pump 9, flows through a solar heat collector 8 for heating, flows into the shell pass of the heater 4 through a water tank 10 for heating seawater in the tube pass of the heater 4, and the temperature of the seawater rises after the seawater absorbs heat. Then enters a membrane distillation assembly 5, the seawater is phase-changed after reaching the evaporation temperature, the preheated strong brine is discharged from a membrane front outlet of the membrane distillation assembly 5, enters a shell pass of a preheater 3 to exchange heat with the inflow seawater (the preheated strong brine loses heat and becomes strong brine), meanwhile, the condensed desalted water is discharged from a membrane rear outlet of the membrane distillation assembly 5, and is proportionally mixed with the strong brine through an adjusting valve 6 and then enters a fresh water collecting tank 7 to obtain the desalted water with the required salinity.
According to the invention, by using the methods of generating power by using renewable energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy and the like and recovering waste heat, the energy utilization efficiency of the membrane distillation system is increased, the energy consumption of the system is reduced, and the water yield is improved; according to the water production requirement and the actual operation condition, the salinity of the produced fresh water is adjusted by utilizing the opening degree of the adjusting valve, so that the method has high flexibility; the energy is stored by combining the compressed gas energy storage unit, and compared with the traditional power supply storage mode, the storage device has better stability; in addition, the whole seawater desalination system has simple and compact structure, saves physical space and is simple and convenient to install and maintain. Meanwhile, the coupling system has good applicability, not only can be used for small-sized seawater desalination processes of ships, islands and coastal areas, but also can be easily coupled with other multistage desalination systems for capacity expansion, and can be used for large-sized seawater desalination processes.
The innovation of the invention is that an energy storage system is also integrated in the conventional membrane distillation system. The membrane distillation has the advantages that the membrane distillation can be driven by renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and the like, but the renewable energy sources are greatly influenced by meteorological conditions and are unstable. Therefore, the energy storage system is used for storing surplus energy for use when the energy obtained by the rain and the like is insufficient. Therefore, in the system of the invention, in the sufficient sunshine period and the sufficient wind power period, the energy obtaining unit can continuously supply power to the compressed gas energy storage unit and the seawater desalination system at the same time, and when the sunshine or the wind power is insufficient, the energy stored by the energy storage unit is released to supply power to the seawater desalination system.
