Abstract

A treatment apparatus for treating wastewater produced by purification of an energy gas and containing at least an ammonium ion includes a decompression facility for reducing a pressure of the wastewater, an alkaline agent addition facility for adding an alkaline agent to the wastewater whose pressure has been reduced, and an ammonia stripping facility for stripping ammonia in the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added.

Claims (37)

1 . A treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater for treating wastewater produced by purification of an energy gas and containing at least an ammonium ion and a chloride ion, the treatment apparatus comprising:

a decompression facility for reducing a pressure of the wastewater;

an alkaline agent addition facility for adding an alkaline agent to the wastewater whose pressure has been reduced; and

an ammonia stripping facility for stripping ammonia in the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added.

2 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 1 ,

wherein the decompression facility includes a decompression container having an interior space for reducing the pressure of the wastewater to be lower than a pressure upstream of the decompression facility, and

wherein the decompression container includes:

a wastewater inlet for introducing the wastewater into the interior space;

an alkaline agent inlet for introducing the alkaline agent into the interior space; and

a wastewater outlet for discharging the wastewater containing the alkaline agent and reduced in pressure.

3 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 2 ,

wherein the decompression facility is configured to reduce a pressure of the interior space to a target pressure equal to or higher than an atmospheric pressure.

4 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 1 ,

wherein the alkaline agent addition facility is configured to add the alkaline agent into a connection pipe connecting the decompression facility and the ammonia stripping facility.

5 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 1 , comprising:

a pH meter for measuring a pH of the wastewater after the stripping; and

a control device for controlling an addition amount of the alkaline agent,

wherein the control device is configured to control the addition amount of the alkaline agent based on the pH measured by the pH meter.

6 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 5 ,

wherein the control device is configured to control the addition amount of the alkaline agent such that the pH measured by the pH meter is 8 to 12.

7 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 1 ,

wherein the ammonia stripping facility includes a heating facility for heating the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added.

8 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 7 ,

wherein the heating facility includes a heat exchanger for performing heat exchange between a heating gas and the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added.

9 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 7 ,

wherein the heating facility includes a steam injection device for injecting steam to the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added.

10 . The treatment apparatus for energy gas purification wastewater according to claim 7 ,

wherein the heating facility includes a tower container, and

wherein the tower container includes:

an inlet for introducing the wastewater to which the alkaline agent has been added;

a heating part for heating the introduced wastewater;

a wastewater outlet for discharging the heated wastewater; and

a gas outlet for discharging ammonia stripped by heating of the wastewater.

11 . A treatment method for energy gas purification wastewater for treating wastewater produced by purification of an energy gas and containing at least an ammonium ion and a chloride ion, the treatment method comprising:

a decompression step of reducing a pressure of the wastewater;

an alkaline agent addition step of adding an alkaline agent to the wastewater after reducing the pressure; and

an ammonia stripping step of stripping ammonia in the wastewater after adding the alkaline agent.
