The zero-emission transformation of desulfurization wastewater in thermal power plants is widely recognized as a technical challenge. The complexity stems from the high salinity, high hardness, high corrosiveness, and fluctuating composition of the wastewater. How to achieve an "zero emission" that is economically viable, efficient, stable, and truly resourceful is the goal that the industry has been striving for. Baohupu Environmental Protection has formed unique advantages in the field of zero-emission of desulfurization wastewater through continuous technological innovation and engineering practice. The three key technical highlights in its classic transformation cases are particularly prominent:
Highlight 1: Comprehensive deep pre-treatment "package" ensures the smooth operation of subsequent processes
Traditional pretreatment often fails to meet the extremely strict water intake requirements for zero discharge. Baohupu Environmental Protection innovatively adopts an enhanced pretreatment process of "high-efficiency chemical softening + special tubular membrane filtration (TMF/UF)":
Precise softening for removing hardness and silicon: Through optimized chemicals and precise control of reaction conditions, deep and stable removal of scaling ions such as calcium, magnesium, and silicon is achieved, with the softening effect far exceeding the conventional level.
Tube membrane filtration: Resistant to high suspended solids and high hardness, it effectively retains micrometer-sized particles, colloids and formed precipitates. The produced water has an extremely low SDI value, providing a "clean" water source for subsequent high-capacity membrane concentration, significantly reducing the risk of membrane fouling and the frequency of cleaning. This step is the key foundation for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire zero-emission system.
Highlight 2: Optimization design of membrane concentration process, achieving efficient reduction in volume and consumption
In response to the high-salt characteristic of desulfurization wastewater, Baohupu Environmental Protection has abandoned the single membrane technology route and adopted a "high-pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO) + disc-tube reverse osmosis (DTRO)" cascade concentration strategy:
HPRO advance: Achieve initial high-pressure concentration under high operational pressure, recovering most of the fresh water.
DTRO Breakthrough: With its open flow channel and extremely strong anti-contamination ability, it is specifically designed to handle the highly saline and high-hardness concentrated water produced by HPRO, achieving extreme wastewater concentration (TDS > 150,000 mg/L or even higher). The overall water recovery rate of the system can reach over 95%. This combination significantly reduces the water volume entering the evaporation crystallization unit (typically reducing by 80-90%), directly reducing the scale and operating costs of the most energy-consuming环节, demonstrating Baohupu Environmental Protection's profound understanding of zero-emission economic efficiency.
Highlight 3: Advanced evaporation crystallization and salt separation technology, achieving "true zero discharge" of resources
This is the core and value of the zero-emission transformation of desulfurization wastewater. The core competitiveness of Baohupu Environmental Protection in this aspect lies in:
Efficient MVR Evaporation Crystallization: Utilizing mechanical vapor re-compression technology, it maximizes the utilization of the latent heat of the secondary steam, and its energy consumption is much lower than that of multi-effect evaporation.
Core breakthrough: Precise salt separation and crystallization: Given the predominant presence of Na⁺, Cl⁻, and SO₄²⁻ in the desulfurization wastewater, Baohupu Environmental Protection has applied and optimized a mature salt separation and crystallization process (such as freezing to crystallize and separate sodium sulfate (halite), or stepwise crystallization under controlled conditions). By precisely controlling parameters such as temperature, concentration, and crystallization rate, industrial anhydrous sodium sulfate that meets the GB/T 6009-2014 standard and industrial dry salt (sodium chloride) that complies with the GB/T 5462-2015 standard have been successfully separated and purified. The production of impurities (mixed salts) has been controlled at an extremely low level (<5%), truly achieving the resource utilization of salt in wastewater instead of merely converting it into solid waste. This has broken through the bottleneck of the "last mile" of zero discharge, significantly enhancing the economic and environmental performance of the project.
