Definitions

• the invention relates to the deposit control in water bearing systems, particularly in open recirculating cooling water systems.
• additives are on the market that can be added to the recirculating water in order to specifically avoid corrosion, scaling or fouling. These additives are normally fed at a feeding rate needed to maintain a relatively constant concentration in the recirculating water. The feeding rate is typically controlled to replace the amount of the additives that are consumed within the recirculating system and that are removed with the blowdown stream.
• composition of the recirculating water changes unexpectedly.
• Such unexpected changes can have various causes.
• the temperature and thus also the composition of the fresh water (makeup water) that is added to the system varies over the year.
• key operation indicators such as pH value, electrical conductivity, and the like are not directly linked to deposit formation. Even if electrical conductivity and pH value are stable over time, undesired scaling may occur. Ongoing processes may compensate one another. For example, when the pH value is decreased for some reason, this may lead to an increase of the concentration of e.g. basic CaC0 3 in the recirculating water thus increasing the pH value again. Furthermore, a sudden change of the pH value, for example, can have various reasons. The pump that supplies acid or base to the recirculating water may be broken, the pH meter may be broken, the storage tank containing acid, base or buffer may be empty, and the like. Therefore, a key operation indicator may change for various reasons that all have the same consequence of undesired deposit formation.
• US 2009/0277841 discloses a process for operation of evaporative recirculating cooling systems.
• the method is said to eliminate or reduce discharge from the system without creating any localized corrosive or scaling conditions as a result of the treatment process.
• the described measurement and control system generally comprises an array of measurements, a means of implementing control logic, and an array of control actions including activating an ion exchange device to treat makeup water.
• the measurements include one or more of pH, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, corrosiveness, scaling tendency, treatment additive dosage level, and treatment additive residual of the makeup, treated makeup, and recirculating water.
• US 2010/0176060 and US 2013/0026105 disclose the control of scaling in a cooling water system with C0 2 based upon measurements of the cooling water's pH, alkalinity and Ca 2+ concentration.
• a further problem is that the formation of certain deposits is irreversible. This is particularly the case for scaling. While sophisticated anti-scaling additives are available on the market that are capable of effectively avoiding the deposition of the scaling on surfaces at appropriate dosages, they are usually not capable of removing the scaling once it has been deposited. In consequence, the dosage of anti-scaling additives in the recirculating water is typically kept higher than really necessary in order to avoid scaling formation, just to ensure that no scaling is irreversibly formed.
• the object of the present invention is solved by a method for controlling deposit formation in a liquid bearing system comprising a main system and a subsystem, wherein a liquid is transported inside the main system and/or the subsystem, the method comprising the step of altering a property of the liquid inside the subsystem such that it differs from the property of the liquid inside the main system in a manner that deposit formation inside the subsystem is more promoted than inside the main system.
• the subsystem as a watchdog or as an early warning system, because it has been surprisingly found that artificial process conditions can be established that promote deposit formation, i.e. that are harsher process conditions with respect to deposit formation.
• the liquid that is processed under such harsher process conditions tends to form deposits, in particular scaling, inside the subsystem ahead of the recirculating liquid that is processed under the current operational conditions of the liquid bearing system inside the main system.
• the main system and the subsystem are configured such that the liquid has access to both the main system and the subsystem.
• the concentration of a treatment chemical inside the subsystem is the same as the concentration of the treatment chemical inside the main system advantageously.
• the treatment chemical may be configured such that the treatment chemical comprises antideposit components.
• the liquid is recirculated inside the liquid bearing system.
• treatment chemicals are fed to the liquid bearing system all the time, wherein the composition of the treatment chemical is changed as soon deposit formation is detected inside the subsystem.
• the artificial process conditions can be adjusted over a broad range so that different degrees of harshness are possible.
• a buffer between the harsher conditions in the bypass and the current conditions in the operational water bearing system can be freely adjusted to allow for a comparatively early or for a comparatively late initiation of counter measure, respectively.
• the deposit formation is derived from detecting a key operation indicator such as pH value, electrical conductivity and the like.
• the pipes of the main system and the subsystem are made from the same material.
• the subsystem comprises a detection device for detecting the deposit formation. Consequently it is advantageously possible to detect a key performance indicator directly.
• a key performance indicator according to the invention is a property that is directly linked to the presence or absence of a deposit, particularly corrosion, scaling, and/or fouling. It has been surprisingly found that deposit control can be substantially improved when it is not based on monitoring of key operation indicators such as the pH-value, but on monitoring of key performance indicators instead, namely deposit formation, as corrosion, scaling and fouling for instance.
• the subsystem is a bypass. It has been surprisingly found that the monitoring of key performance indicators can advantageously be performed in a bypass wherein artificial process conditions that promote deposit formation are set inside the bypass. Once a significant change of key performance indicators is detected under the artificial conditions within the bypass, e.g. the beginning of scaling, appropriate
• countermeasures may be initiated, e.g. by increasing the dosage of anti-scaling additive.
• the condition of the liquid, in particular of recirculating water, in the bypass differs from the condition of the liquid in the main system.
• the temperature and/or the flow velocity of the recirculating water in the bypass is/are higher than that of the recirculating water in the main system.
• At least one property of the liquid inside the subsystem is manipulated by a manipulation device.
• the liquid inside the subsystem and the liquid in the main system have only one non-equivalent property.
• the subsystem represents the main system as closely as possible advantageously.
• artificial process conditions can be established without substantially altering the thermal conditions of the system.
• the temperature of the recirculating water in the bypass does not need to be changed compared to the temperature of the recirculating water in the operational water bearing system.
• liquid inside the subsystem is configured such that a Reynolds number of the liquid inside the subsystem is greater than 8,000 and preferably between 10,000 and 20,000.
• the deposit formation will be accelerated, if the Reynolds number is greater inside the subsystem than inside the main system and the Reynolds number inside the subsystem is greater than 8,000 and preferably between 10,000 and 20,000.
• the stream inside the bypass is not laminar but turbulent, whereas the stream in main system is not turbulent but laminar.
• the Reynolds number depends on the density, the viscosity, the flow velocity and the dimensions of the liquid.
• a first flow velocity of the liquid inside the subsystem is configured such that the first flow velocity inside the subsystem is greater than a second flow velocity inside in the main system.
• the volume flow of the liquid in the bypass is higher than that of the liquid in the main system.
• the volume flow or the first velocity in the bypass is higher by at least 0.01 m/sec, more preferably by at least 0.05 m/sec, still more preferably by at least 0.1 m/sec, yet more preferably by at least 0.15 m/sec, most preferably by at least 0.2 m/sec, and in particular by at least 0.25 m/sec than the flow velocity of the liquid in the main system.
• the temperature of the recirculating water in the bypass does not significantly differ from the temperature of the recirculating water in the operational water bearing system.
• the temperature difference is not more than 1 °C, more preferably not more than 0.5°C, most preferably not more than 0.2°C.
• the first flow velocity inside the subsystem is mainly realized by a pumping device.
• the flow velocity may easily be adjusted by a suitable pump inside the bypass.
• the kinetic energy entrained by the pump in order to increase the first flow velocity of the liquid in the bypass is much lower than the energy that would otherwise be entrained by increasing the water temperature in the bypass.
• a hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or atmospheric pressure of the main system is only used for acceleration.
• the current situation in the main system is very closely reflected by the current situation in the bypass at favored conditions with respect to deposit formation.
• the deposit formation is detected by means of ultrasound, wherein an ultrasonic signal is emitted and a reflected ultrasonic signal is detected.
• the measurement provides information about the thickness and/or composition of the deposit. Suitable methods and devices to measure key performance indicators by means of ultrasound are known from the prior art. These methods and devices preferably also monitor the temperature so that additional conclusions can be drawn from the temperature values.
