Method for recovering process wastewater from a steam power plant
View Patent ↗A method for operating a steam power plant having a water-steam circuit, according to which method the process wastewater produced is collected from the water-steam circuit, in a separated manner according to the degree of contamination thereof, in a number of partial wastewater quantities is provided. At least a first partial wastewater quantity having a first degree of contamination and at least a second partial wastewater quantity having a second degree of contamination are formed in the process. The second degree of contamination is higher than the first degree of contamination. The first partial wastewater quantity and the second partial wastewater quantity are mixed together in such a manner that a combined process wastewater is produced, which is fed to a wastewater treatment plant.
1. A method for operating a steam power plant with a water-steam circuit, in which all process wastewaters arising are collected separately from the water-steam circuit in accordance with a respective degree of contamination thereof in a number of wastewater sub-volumes, wherein at least a first wastewater sub-volume with a first degree of contamination and at least a second wastewater sub-volume with a second degree of contamination are formed, wherein the second degree of contamination is higher than the first degree of contamination, further wherein the first wastewater sub-volume and the second wastewater sub-volume are mixed together in such a way that a combined process wastewater with a largely constant degree of contamination arises, which is fed to a wastewater treatment plant and in that the process wastewater purified in the wastewater treatment plant is largely completely recirculated into the water-steam circuit.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a process wastewater is fed to the second wastewater sub-volume which is taken from a deionization plant comprised by the steam power plant.
3. The method as claimed claim 1 , wherein a process wastewater is fed to the first wastewater sub-volume which is taken from an evacuation system comprised by the water-steam circuit and originates from a water sample taken from the water-steam circuit.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the degree of contamination of the first wastewater sub-volume and the second wastewater sub-volume is determined in each case by measuring conductivity.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wastewater treatment plant comprises an evaporator, which is designed for largely continuous operation.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an additional wastewater sub-volume with clean process wastewaters is separately collected which is taken from a condenser comprised by the water-steam circuit and/or originates from a water sample taken from the water-steam circuit.
7. The method as claimed claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant comprises a steam generator, which takes the form of a once-through boiler, wherein a process wastewater is fed to the second wastewater sub-volume which is taken from a condensate purification device comprised by the once-through boiler.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the steam power plant comprises a steam generator, which takes the form of a circulating boiler.
