  Next, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the examples described below, the equipment is a boiler, and the filtration processing unit is a filtration processing unit using a nanofiltration membrane.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of a boiler system including a water supply system of the present invention.
In the figure, a boiler system denoted by reference numeral 1 includes a boiler 2 that heats feed water to generate steam, and a feed water system 3 that supplies feed water to the boiler 2. The water supply system 3 includes a water supply line 4, and treated water generated by reforming the quality of the water supply water on the water supply line 4 is supplied to the boiler 2 as the water supply.

  The boiler 2 is a multi-tube type once-through boiler called a water tube boiler, and this boiler 2 is not particularly shown, but includes an annular lower header and an annular upper header arranged vertically at a predetermined interval. , A plurality of heat transfer tubes disposed between them, a combustion chamber defined by the plurality of heat transfer tubes, and a burner disposed above the combustion chamber and generating steam by heating the feed water in each heat transfer tube It is the boiler of the well-known structure comprised including heating apparatuses, such as.

  The lower header is connected to the water supply line 4 and is provided with a discharge pipe 5 for discharging (blowing) the concentrated water of the can water.

  The plurality of heat transfer tubes and the like are formed using a non-passivated metal. Here, the non-passivated metal will be described. The non-passivated metal refers to a metal that does not passivate naturally in a neutral aqueous solution. Usually, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, chromium, nickel, And metals other than zirconium and the like. Specifically, carbon steel, cast iron, copper, copper alloy, and the like. By the way, carbon steel may passivate in the presence of a high concentration of chromate ions even in a neutral aqueous solution, but this passivation is due to the influence of chromate ions, It's hard to say that it's a natural passivation inside. Carbon steel therefore belongs to the category of non-passivated metals here. In addition, copper and copper alloys are considered to be metals that are unlikely to corrode due to the influence of moisture due to their noble position in the electrochemical column (emf series), but they are naturally passive in neutral aqueous solutions. It belongs to the category of non-passivated metals here.

  The water supply system 3 is supplied with water from a raw water side treated water tank (not shown) in which raw water supplied from water sources such as tap water, industrial water, and groundwater is stored. . Then, the water supply system 3 moves the activated carbon filtration processing unit 6, the water softening processing unit 7, the prefilter 8, the filtration processing unit 9, and the water supply tank 10 to the water supply line 4 from the upstream side toward the downstream side. In order.

  The water supply system 3 includes an electrolyzed water generating device 11. A supply path 12 connected to the water supply line 4 between the water softening unit 7 and the prefilter 8 is connected to the electrolyzed water generating device 11. In the electrolyzed water generator 11, the feed water softened by the water softening unit 7 is supplied from the supply path 12 as raw water, and is electrolyzed to generate alkaline water and acidic water. .

  An alkaline water supply path 13 connected to the water supply tank 10 is connected to the electrolyzed water generator 11. Thereby, the alkaline water produced | generated with the electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 11 is inject | poured into the water supply tank 10 from the alkaline water supply path 13. FIG. Therefore, in this example, the alkaline water injection means described in the claims is constituted by the electrolyzed water generating device 11, the supply path 12, and the alkaline water supply path 13.

  In addition, an acidic water supply path 14 connected to the discharge pipe 5 is connected to the electrolyzed water generator 11. Thereby, the acidic water produced | generated with the electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 11 is inject | poured into the discharge pipe 5 from the acidic water supply path 14. FIG.

  The activated carbon filtration unit 6 is configured as an apparatus for adsorbing and removing an oxidizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite dissolved in the feed water. The oxidizing agent, that is, residual chlorine may oxidize the ion exchange resin (not shown) of the water softening treatment unit 7 disposed on the downstream side of the activated carbon filtration treatment unit 6 to deteriorate the ion exchange ability at an early stage. Moreover, there is a possibility that the filtration capacity (not shown) of the filtration processing unit 9 arranged further downstream is oxidized to deteriorate the filtration ability at an early stage. Therefore, in order to prevent such early deterioration of capacity due to oxidation, the residual chlorine is adsorbed and removed by activated carbon, thereby preventing the early deterioration of the ion exchange capacity and the early deterioration of the filtering capacity. In addition, the water treatment efficiency is improved and stabilized.

  Although not particularly shown, other devices such as the activated carbon filtration processing unit 6 for removing residual chlorine in the water supply include a chemical injection device for adding sodium bisulfite (SBS). It may be applied instead of.

  The water softening unit 7 is configured as an apparatus that ion-exchanges hardness components such as calcium and magnesium contained in the water supply from which the residual chlorine has been removed using an ion-exchange resin (not shown). That is, the water softening process part 7 is comprised as an apparatus for replacing various hardness components contained in water supply with sodium ion, and converting water supply into soft water.

  The pre-filter 8 is configured to prevent the filtering member (not shown) of the filtration processing unit 9 from being clogged with dust or the like in the water supply. This is for removing dust and the like in front of the filtration unit 9.

  The filtration unit 9 captures a corrosion promoting component that causes corrosion of the non-passivated metal of the boiler, captures an alkali component, and transmits a corrosion inhibiting component that contributes to the suppression of the corrosion (not shown) ), And the water supply is filtered by such a filter member.

  In this example, the filtration member is a nanofiltration membrane (NF membrane, NF: Nanofiltration). This nanofiltration membrane is a synthetic polymer membrane such as polyamide-based or polyether-based, and is a liquid separation membrane that can prevent permeation of particles or polymers (with a molecular weight of up to several hundreds) smaller than about 2 nm. In addition, the nanofiltration membrane can be separated from a membrane (UF membrane) having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to 300,000 and a membrane having a molecular weight of about several tens in terms of filtration function. It is a liquid separation membrane having a function located in the middle of the membrane (RO membrane). Incidentally, nanofiltration membranes are commercially available from various companies and can be easily obtained.

Such a nanofiltration membrane captures corrosion promoting components. Here, the corrosion promoting component will be described. The corrosion promoting component means that moisture (here, canned water) adheres to the portion of the boiler 2 where corrosion of the heat transfer tubes (not shown) is likely to occur, particularly inside. , And the one that acts on the inner surface of each heat transfer tube (not shown) that is heated from the outside and promotes its corrosion. Usually, sulfate ions (SO ₄ ²⁻ ), chloride ions (Cl ⁻ ), and others Contains ingredients. Incidentally, both sulfate ions and chloride ions are important as corrosion promoting components. By the way, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B 8223: 1999 specifies various management items and recommended standards regarding the water quality of the boiler water from the viewpoint of suppressing the corrosion of the special circulation boiler including the once-through boiler. In the regulations, the regulation value of chloride ion concentration is set, but it does not mention the sulfate ion concentration in canned water (in other words, it is recognized that sulfate ion is involved in corrosion). Absent). However, researchers of the company of the applicant of the present application, as a result of studying the relationship between water quality and corrosion of canned water for many years, sulphate ions contained in the canned water as the corrosion-accelerating component (not shown) It has been confirmed that it is acting on etc.

  The nanofiltration membrane captures not only the corrosion promoting components but also alkali components such as bicarbonates, carbonates and hydroxides.

And the said nanofiltration membrane permeate | transmits the corrosion inhibitory component which is a component which suppresses corrosion. The corrosion inhibiting component is a component that acts on the inner surface of each heat transfer tube (not shown) of the boiler 2 where corrosion of the heat transfer tube (not shown) is likely to occur, and can suppress the corrosion generated there. That is, it usually contains silica (ie, silicon dioxide (SiO ₂ )). Here, silica is a component usually contained in tap water, industrial water, groundwater, etc. used as feed water, and silica contained in feed water is usually recognized as a scale generating component in each heat transfer tube (not shown). In general, it is considered preferable to suppress the concentration as much as possible. However, as a result of researches on the relationship between water quality and corrosion of canned water over many years, the researchers of the company of the applicant of the present application have found that the silica contained in canned water is the above-mentioned heat transfer tube (not shown) as a corrosion inhibiting component. It is confirmed that it is acting on.

  The water supply tank 10 provided on the downstream side of the filtration treatment unit 9 is softened by the water softening treatment unit 7, and the corrosion treatment component and the alkali component are captured in the filtration treatment unit 9, and the corrosion inhibiting component is transmitted therethrough. The generated treated water flows from the water supply line 4. Further, the alkaline water supply path 13 is connected to the water supply tank 10 so that alkaline water generated by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 flows in.

  The treated water stored in the water supply tank 10 is supplied from the water supply line 4 to the boiler 2 as water supply, and is stored in the lower header (not shown) as can water.

  Next, the flow during operation of the boiler 2 will be described based on the above configuration. When operating the boiler 2, it is necessary to reform the quality of the feed water supplied from the raw water tank (not shown) to generate treated water, and store the treated water in the feed water tank 10 as feed water for the boiler 2. There is. The process up to this point will be described. The feed water flowing through the feed water line 4 flows out from the treated water tank (not shown) at a predetermined pressure by a feed water pump (not shown) having a predetermined discharge pressure. The pressure of the water supply flowing out is set in consideration of pressure loss and the like in each part of the activated carbon filtration processing unit 6, the water softening processing unit 7, the prefilter 8, and the filtration processing unit 9 arranged on the downstream side. And the feed water which flowed out from the said raw | natural water tank first passes the activated carbon filtration process part 6, and will be in the state from which the residual chlorine was removed. Next, the water to be treated passes through the water softening treatment unit 7 and becomes soft water. Subsequently, when the water supply, which is soft water, passes through the nanofiltration membrane in the filtration unit 9, corrosion promoting components such as sulfate ions and chloride ions, and bicarbonates, carbonates, hydroxides, etc. The alkali component is captured by the nanofiltration membrane. That is, the corrosion promoting component and the alkali component are removed from the soft water. On the other hand, the silica contained in the soft water, that is, the corrosion inhibiting component permeates the nanofiltration membrane together with the soft water. The filtered soft water that has been filtered in this way is stored in the water supply tank 10 as water supplied to the boiler 2.

  The water supply stored in the water supply tank 10 is supplied to the boiler 2 via a water supply pump (not shown) disposed between the water supply tank 10 and the boiler 2 and stored as can water in the lower header. The stored can water rises in each heat transfer tube while being heated by the heating device, and gradually becomes steam. And the steam produced | generated in each heat exchanger tube is collected in an upper header, and is supplied to a load apparatus.

  By the way, during the operation of the boiler 2, each heat transfer tube has its lower end portion, that is, the connection portion with the lower header, continuously in contact with the can water. Therefore, each heat transfer tube is likely to corrode under the influence of can water at the lower end portion. In particular, each heat transfer tube is liable to cause local corrosion in addition to thinning corrosion on the inner peripheral surface at the lower end portion, and may cause breakage due to minute holes.

  The above-mentioned local corrosion is a hole-shaped corrosion from the contact surface side of each heat transfer tube with the can water toward the opposite side of the thickness direction, that is, a hole shape generated in the thickness (thickness) direction of each heat transfer tube. Say no corrosion. Hereinafter, such a local corrosion occurrence phenomenon is referred to as “pitting corrosion”, and pitting corrosion caused by this pitting corrosion is referred to as “corrosion”. Incidentally, it is understood that pitting corrosion usually occurs due to the influence of dissolved oxygen in the can water.

  However, according to this example, during operation of the boiler 2, soft water containing a corrosion inhibiting component is supplied to each heat transfer tube as canned water, so that the corrosion inhibiting component contained in the canned water is transferred to each heat transfer tube. It acts on the lower end portion of the heat pipe and suppresses corrosion of the portion. More specifically, the corrosion-inhibiting component suppresses the thinning corrosion at the contact portion of each heat transfer tube with the can water, and also suppresses the generation and growth of pits. Suppresses damage to heat tubes. At this time, since the corrosion promoting component is removed from the can water by the filtration processing unit 9, the above-described corrosion inhibiting action by the corrosion inhibiting component is hardly inhibited by the corrosion promoting component and is effectively exhibited. Become.

  Now, corrosion of each heat transfer tube is suppressed by the corrosion-inhibiting components contained in the can water. This is probably because a corrosion-inhibiting component (particularly silica) acts on the component to form a corrosion-resistant film (corrosion-resistant film) on the inner surface of each heat transfer tube. In particular, dissolved oxygen may cause a local anode to appear in each heat transfer tube, thereby causing pitting corrosion. However, the corrosion inhibiting component (silica) contained in the can water is an anion or a negatively charged micelle. Since it exists, it is easy to adsorb | suck to the above anodes and it is easy to selectively form an anticorrosion film in the said part. Therefore, it is thought that the corrosion inhibitory component (silica) contained in the can water can effectively suppress the progress of pitting corrosion in each heat transfer tube.

  In the said filtration process part, the alkali component in feed water is capture | acquired by the nanofiltration membrane. Therefore, there is a possibility that the pH of the can water in the heat transfer tubes may not increase, particularly in an area where the water quality is low with less alkaline components in the feed water. When the pH of the can water in the heat transfer tube is lower than a predetermined value, the heat transfer tube is easily corroded. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation, in the water supply system 3 of this example, the water supplied on the upstream side of the filtration processing unit 9 is supplied from the supply path 12 to the electrolyzed water generating device 11, and the electrolyzed water generating device 11, alkaline water generated by electrolysis is injected into the treated water in the water supply tank 10. Thereby, the pH of the treated water in the water supply tank 10 can be raised, and the fall of the pH of the can water supplied as water supply from the water supply tank 10 to the boiler 2 can be prevented.

  Concentrated water (can water) in the boiler 2 is drained from the discharge pipe 5 to the outside of the boiler, and this concentrated water shows alkalinity. Therefore, the acidic water generated at the same time as the alkaline water is generated by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 can be injected into the concentrated water flowing through the discharge pipe 5 from the acidic water supply path 14 to neutralize the waste water. .

  As explained above, the water supply line 4 of the boiler system 1 captures the corrosion-promoting component and the alkali component that cause corrosion of the non-passivated metal body of the boiler 2, and the corrosion-inhibiting component that contributes to the suppression of corrosion. By providing the filtration processing unit 9 that performs filtration using a permeating nanofiltration membrane, corrosion that occurs in the heat transfer tube of the boiler 2 can be suppressed without using a chemical.

  Moreover, since the pH fall of the feed water supplied to the boiler 2 can be prevented by injection | pouring of the alkaline water in the feed water tank 10, corrosion of the heat exchanger tube of the boiler 2 by the fall of pH can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the raw water used for electrolysis by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 is not a system different from the water supply system 3 but is supplied water flowing upstream of the filtration unit 9, the electrolyzed water generating device It is not necessary to provide a new supply line for supplying raw material water to 11.

  Moreover, since the raw material water supplied to the electrolyzed water generating apparatus 11 is the feed water softened by the water softening processing unit 7, the generation of scale in the electrolyzed water generating apparatus 11 can be prevented.

  Moreover, the acidic water produced | generated when the alkaline water for inject | pouring into the feed water for the purpose of prevention of pH fall of the feed water supplied to the boiler 2 is produced | generated by the said electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 11 is discharged | emitted by the discharge pipe 5 It can be used effectively by using it for neutralization treatment.

In the present embodiment, the alkaline water generated by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 is injected into the water supply tank 10, but the position where the alkaline water is injected is not limited to this, and filtration is performed. Regardless of the upstream side or the downstream side of the processing unit 9, any position on the water supply line 4 may be used. The position where the alkaline water is injected may be on the upstream side of the filtration unit 9 because the hydroxide ions (OH ⁻ ) in the alkaline water are filtered by the filtration member (nanofiltration membrane, RO membrane, etc.) of the filtration unit 9. This is because it is permeated and contained in the permeated water (water supplied to the water supply tank 10 and the boiler 2) on the downstream side of the filtration processing unit 9.

  In the present embodiment, the supply path 12 for supplying the feed water flowing through the feed water line 4 to the electrolyzed water generating device 11 is connected to the feed water line 4 between the water softening treatment unit 7 and the prefilter 8. The connection is not limited to such a position.

  Moreover, the production | generation of the alkaline water for inject | pouring into the feed water for the purpose of preventing pH fall of the feed water supplied to the boiler 2 is not restricted to what is performed by the said electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 11, For example, OH type shadow Alkaline water may be generated by an ion exchange resin.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the boiler system including the water supply system of the present invention. In the following description, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The water supply system 20 of this example includes a deaeration processing unit 21 between the filtration processing unit 9 and the water supply tank 10. And in the water supply system 20 of this example, the alkaline water supply path 13 is connected to the water supply line 4 between the filtration process part 9 and the deaeration process part 21, and the alkaline water produced | generated by the electrolyzed water production | generation apparatus 11 is It is injected downstream of the filtration processing unit 9 and before the deaeration processing unit 21.

  The deaeration unit 21 mechanically removes the dissolved oxygen contained in the permeated water filtered by the filtration unit 9 and the alkaline water flowing from the alkaline water supply path 13. The deaeration unit 21 includes a deaeration membrane (not shown). The permeated water is circulated through one of the deaeration membranes, and the other is evacuated by a vacuum exhaust means such as a vacuum pump. It has a well-known configuration for degassing dissolved oxygen.

  In such a water supply system 20 of this example, the water supplied from the raw water tank (not shown) passes through the activated carbon filtration processing unit 6, the water softening processing unit 7, the prefilter 8, and the filtration processing unit 9. As in the first embodiment, the water becomes soft water, the corrosion promoting component is captured and the corrosion inhibiting component is permeated, and this water supply is supplied to the deaeration processing unit 21 to deaerate dissolved oxygen. Treated water that becomes soft water containing a corrosion inhibiting component after the deaeration treatment is stored in the feed water tank 10 as feed water to be supplied to the boiler 2.

  In this example, the alkaline water generated by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 flows into the water supply line 4 between the filtration processing unit 9 and the deaeration processing unit 21. Thereby, like 1st Example, the pH fall of the feed water supplied to the boiler 2 can be prevented, and the corrosion of the heat exchanger tube of the boiler 2 by the fall of pH can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the corrosion promoting component is captured and the feed water through which the corrosion inhibiting component permeates is supplied to the boiler 2, corrosion occurring in the heat transfer tube of the boiler 2 can be suppressed without using a chemical. Further, the permeated water filtered by the filtration processing unit 9 and the dissolved oxygen dissolved in the alkaline water from the alkaline water supply path 13 are removed in the deaeration processing unit 21, so that the corrosion inhibition effect can be improved. .

  In the present embodiment, the alkaline water generated by the electrolyzed water generating device 11 is injected into the water supply line 4 between the filtration processing unit 9 and the deaeration processing unit 21, but the alkaline water is injected. The position is not limited to this as in the first embodiment. However, if the alkaline water is injected into the upstream side of the deaeration processing unit 21, the degree of deaeration of the feed water supplied to the boiler 2 can be increased. It is more preferable to inject.
