Method and device for treating contaminated water
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method and a device for treating contaminated water in a steam power installation, and to a corresponding steam power installation. According to the invention, steam and water are separated between a first steam-collecting drum of a pressure level and a second steam-collecting drum of a lower pressure level.
1. A method for treating contaminated water in a steam power plant, comprising:
separating water and steam between a first steam drum having a first pressure level and a second steam drum having a second pressure level by a water/steam separator where the first steam drum has a greater pressure level than the second steam drum;
feeding the separated water to the first steam drum; and
feeding the separated steam to the second steam drum,
wherein the separated water contains contaminants and is fed to a collection tank, and
wherein a water and steam separation step is performed between the second steam drum and a third steam drum having a third pressure level that is greater than the first steam drum pressure.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a water and steam separation step is performed between the third steam drum and the first steam drum.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the steam separated between the third steam drum and the first steam drum is fed to the first steam drum.
4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein contaminated water separated between the third steam drum and the first steam drum is fed into the water and steam separation step between the first and second steam drum.
5. A device for treating contaminated water in a steam power plant, comprising:
a first steam drum having a first pressure level;
a second steam drum having a second pressure level less than the first pressure level; and
a first separating device for separating water and steam connected to the first steam drum and the second steam drum,
wherein a third steam drum having a third pressure level greater than the first pressure level is connected to the first separating device for separating water and steam.
6. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first separating device is connected to and supplies separated contaminated water to a collection tank.
7. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first separating device is connected to and supplies separated steam to the second steam drum.
8. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a second separating device for a second water and steam separation operation is arranged between the third steam drum and the first steam drum.
9. The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first separating device is connected to and supplies separated steam to the second steam drum.
10. The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first separating device is connected to the second separating device to supply contaminated water separated during the further water and steam separation operation.
11. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first separating device and/or the second separating device is a separator.
12. A device for treating contaminated water in a steam power plant, comprising:
a first steam drum having a first pressure level;
a second steam drum having a second pressure level less than the first pressure level;
a third steam drum having a third pressure level greater than the first pressure level;
a first separating device for separating water and steam connected to the first, second and third steam drum; and
a second separating device for separating water and steam connected to the third steam drum and the first steam drum.
13. The device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first separating device is connected to the second separating device to supply contaminated water separated during the further water and steam separation operation.
14. The device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the first separating device and/or the second separating devices is a separator.
