Abstract

A water treatment system of the present invention for effluent generated in a plant facility includes: a flue gas treatment system that performs treatment of boiler flue gas from a boiler; and a spray drying device that includes a spraying unit, which sprays effluent generated, for example, in a cooler of the plant facility, and that performs spray drying using part of the boiler flue gas. The water treatment system draws the effluent is discharged into the spray drying device so as to dry the sprayed liquid by the part of the flue gas.

Claims (19)

1 . A water treatment system comprising:

a flue gas treatment system that performs treatment of boiler flue gas; and

a spray drying device that includes a spraying unit, which sprays effluent generated in a plant facility, and that performs spray drying using some of the boiler flue gas.

2 . The water treatment system according to claim 1 , further comprising a desalination device that removes salt content present in the effluent, wherein

the spray drying device performs spray drying of concentrated water from which salt content has been concentrated by the desalination device.

3 . The water treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the desalination device includes a membrane separating unit.

4 . The water treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the desalination device removes bivalent salt content present in the effluent.

5 . The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein

the flue gas treatment system includes a wet desulfurization device, and

the spraying unit of the spray drying device has separator liquid, which is obtained by separating gypsum from the wet desulfurization device, introduced thereto and performs spray drying of the separator liquid along with the effluent.

6 . A water treatment method comprising:

flue gas-treating that includes performing treatment of boiler flue gas; and

spray-drying that includes spray drying using a spray drying device that has a spraying unit, which sprays effluent generated in a plant facility, and that performs spray drying using some of the boiler flue gas.

7 . The water treatment method according to claim 6 , further comprising desalinating that includes removing salt content present in the effluent, wherein

the spray-drying, by the spray drying device, includes performing spray drying of concentrated water from which salt content has been concentrated by the desalinating.

8 . The water treatment method according to claim 7 , wherein the desalinating includes membrane-separating.

9 . The water treatment method according to claim 7 , wherein the desalinating includes removing bivalent salt content present in the effluent.

10 . The water treatment method according to claim 6 , wherein

the flue gas-treating includes wet-desulfurizing, and the spray-drying has separator liquid, which is obtained by separating gypsum at the wet-desulfurizing, introduced thereat and includes performing spray drying of the separator liquid along with the effluent.
