Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of water treatment, in particular to a high-salinity wastewater concentration system with multistage series reverse osmosis membrane groups and a concentration method thereof.
Technical Field
Along with the development of the industry in China, the discharge amount of industrial wastewater is increasing day by day, the major part of the wastewater is high-concentration salt-containing wastewater which has a plurality of hazards to the ecological environment, and the main treatment method in the industry is to utilize high-efficiency salt-tolerant bacteria for treatment or add water for dilution and discharge, so that a large amount of water resources are wasted, and the salt amount discharged into the environment cannot be controlled from the total amount, so that the treatment of the high-concentration salt-containing wastewater becomes a difficult problem which needs to be solved urgently in the domestic environment-friendly industry.
The demand for desalination processes of high salinity brines with total dissolved solids of 50-350g/L is also increasing in the oil, gas, electricity and industry sectors, but current brine dehydration technologies are expensive, energy intensive or limited to low water recovery. The technology of brine dehydration comprises evaporation and non-evaporation methods, the distillation method is the oldest and most common desalination method, the methods are various, such as multiple-effect evaporation, multi-stage flash evaporation, compressed air distillation, membrane distillation and the like, in order to solve the problem of high-concentration brine wastewater treatment, a plurality of evaporation concentration crystallization devices are appeared in recent years, but the devices are basically relatively independent operation units, the energy consumption of each unit operation is relatively high, the energy reuse rate is low, and the energy consumption is far more than the theoretical minimum workload in the evaporation process.
Non-evaporative membrane based technologies can reduce the energy intensity of desalination and brine dehydration processes, and reverse osmosis, forward osmosis and pressure assisted forward osmosis provide multiple ways to dehydrate brine on semi-permeable membranes, and in these membrane processes only reverse osmosis directly dehydrates brine, and forward osmosis and pressure assisted forward osmosis require a second process, most commonly a forward osmosis or heat draw solute regeneration step, to produce a pure water permeate.
Non-evaporative membrane based processes are closer to the thermodynamic minimum of desalination separations but their effectiveness in treating high salinity brines is limited, and reverse osmosis membranes have limited water recovery for brines with TDS > 50g/L because the water pressure cannot exceed the membrane rupture pressure.
There is therefore a great need for a new scalable process for concentrating brine prior to crystallization or treatment. To this end, we have developed a process for dewatering high-concentration brine using multiple stages of series reverse osmosis modules by using water pressure to transport water through a semi-permeable membrane to resist the osmotic pressure differential between the feed and permeate, while also reducing the osmotic pressure differential across the membrane by brine sweep on the permeate side. This modification enables the delivery of water to recover water from a hydraulically driven membrane process even when the osmotic pressure of the feed exceeds the rupture pressure of the membrane.

Taking a four-stage series reverse osmosis membrane group as an example, the concentration of a first-stage feeding material is 55g/L, a high-pressure pump on a first-stage feeding pipe is pressurized to 65bar, and after the first-stage feeding material is treated by the first-stage reverse osmosis membrane group with the osmotic pressure of 25bar, the concentration of a first-stage sweeping circulation feeding pipe and a concentrated solution discharged by an external discharge pipe is 110 g/L; the second stage feeding concentration is reduced to 40g/L, the high-pressure pump on the second stage feeding pipe is pressurized to 65bar again, after the treatment of a second stage reverse osmosis membrane group with the osmotic pressure of 25bar, the reflux concentration of the second stage blowing circulation feeding pipe is 80g/L, the third stage feeding concentration is reduced to 25g/L, the high-pressure pump on the third stage feeding pipe is pressurized to 65bar again, after the treatment of a third stage reverse osmosis membrane group with the osmotic pressure of 25bar, the reflux concentration of the third stage blowing circulation feeding pipe is 50g/L, the fourth stage feeding concentration is reduced to 10g/L, the high-pressure pump on the fourth stage feeding pipe is pressurized to 65bar again, after the treatment of a fourth stage reverse osmosis membrane group with the osmotic pressure of 8bar, the reflux concentration of the fourth stage blowing circulation feeding pipe is 20g/L, and the final product water discharge pipe discharges the product water with the concentration of 0.1g/L, the water recovery rate reaches 50 percent.
The invention also provides a method for concentrating high-salinity wastewater of a multistage series reverse osmosis membrane module, which comprises the steps that raw liquid to be purified passes through a purifying device formed by connecting the 1 st, 2, 3. the N-stage reverse osmosis modules in series, the raw liquid to be purified passes through a 1 st stage feed pipe of the evolution device, is pressurized by a high-pressure pump and then is connected to the high-pressure side of the 1 st stage reverse osmosis module, concentrated waste liquid is discharged from the high-pressure side of the 1 st stage reverse osmosis module by an external discharge pipe, and penetrating fluid generated at the low-pressure side of the 1 st stage reverse osmosis module flows into the high-pressure side of the 2 nd stage reverse osmosis membrane module by a 2 nd stage feed pipe to be used as feed; the concentrated solution on the high-pressure side of the second-stage reverse osmosis membrane module circulates back to the low-pressure side of the first-stage reverse osmosis module through the purging circulation feeding pipe to be used as supplementary feeding material; a pressure exchanger is arranged between the 2 nd-stage feeding pipe and the blowing circulation feeding pipe; penetrating fluid generated at the low-pressure side of the 2 nd-stage reverse osmosis module flows into the high-pressure side of the 3 rd-stage reverse osmosis membrane group through the 3 rd-stage feed pipe to be used as feed; the concentrated solution on the high-pressure side of the 3 rd-stage reverse osmosis membrane module is circulated back to the low-pressure side of the 2 nd-stage reverse osmosis module through a sweeping circulating feeding pipe to be used as supplementary feeding material; a pressure exchanger is arranged between the 3 rd progressive material pipe and the blowing circulation material inlet pipe; … … N reverse osmosis modules are circulated; and penetrating fluid generated at the low-pressure side of the Nth-stage reverse osmosis membrane group is product water and is discharged through a product water discharge pipe.
Wherein, the permeable membrane in the reverse osmosis module of the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 … … N-1 st stage in the method adopts a flat membrane with counter flow; the permeable membrane of the Nth-level reverse osmosis module in the system adopts a conventional reverse osmosis membrane; applying pressure of a high-pressure pump on the No. 1, 2 and 3 No. N grading feed pipe to 50-70 bar; the water recovery rate of the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd grade N reverse osmosis module is 30-60%.
The method is characterized in that the diluted purging concentration is higher, the target recovery rate cannot be achieved through reverse osmosis membranes, the diluted purging substance is pressurized and sent to a second-stage reverse osmosis membrane group, the equivalent permeate volume can be achieved through the lower purging substance concentration due to the fact that the diluted purging substance concentration is lower than the original feeding concentration, the diluted feeding material is re-concentrated by the second-stage reverse osmosis membrane group and flows back to the previous-stage reverse osmosis membrane through the purging flow, the low-pressure side concentration of the previous-stage reverse osmosis membrane group is reduced, the low-pressure percolate of the second-stage reverse osmosis membrane group enters the high-pressure side of the next-stage reverse osmosis membrane group to serve as the feeding material, therefore, each reverse osmosis membrane group can achieve equivalent permeability, the multi-stage reverse osmosis membranes are continuously and circularly purged in series, the scanning concentration is continuously reduced until the scanning concentration of the conventional reverse osmosis membrane is low enough, and finally the permeate produced on the low-pressure side of the Nth-stage reverse osmosis membrane group is the product water, is discharged through a product water discharge pipe.
The test shows that:
the purification process of the multistage reverse osmosis membrane group can improve the water recovery rate: the feed pressure was set to 65bar with a recovery of 54% for a sweep with total dissolved solids TDS of 35g/L and zero for a total dissolved solids TDS of 55g/L and 50% for a sweep with total dissolved solids TDS of 75g/L, which sharply decreased to 4% with increasing feed concentration.
For a given feed concentration, the use of a brine reflux purge can improve the recovery of high concentration brine: the highest TDS of the total dissolved solids of the fed materials can reach 145g/L, the highest TDS of the recovered high-concentration brine can reach 200g/L, and the recovery rate is more than 30 percent.
As the concentration of the cleaning is gradually increased, the recovery rate of fresh water and the required energy consumption of the reverse osmosis membrane group are increased by setting the number of stages: when the first scan total dissolved solids TDS range is 100-225g/L, the yield of produced water per square meter increases from 17% to 42%, the number of modules increases from 3 to 7 modules, and the energy consumption increases from 5.7kWh to 14 kWh.
Increasing membrane area helps to increase fresh water recovery: however, increasing membrane area, while increasing fresh water recovery, also increases membrane pressure drop, salinity permeability, and capital and operating costs. We set the fresh water recovery rate to 35% -40% and adjust the concentration of the first reverse osmosis module feed to maintain constant recovery per variable membrane area, from 9m3Increased to 13m3The reduction of total dissolved solids TDS in the first stage was from 185 to 165g/L and 215 to 190g/L, the number of membrane groups was from 5 to 4 and from 7 to 5, and the recovery was 35% and 40%, respectively.
In addition to feed and purge concentrations, feed pressure, recovery, number of modules, energy consumption and module size, the performance of the membranes of reverse osmosis membrane modules also has an impact, and ideal membranes need to have high membrane rupture pressures and low structural parameters.
While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
