Selection of flocculants for black water treatment in space furnaces

2019-07-10View Original

Thread Content

For space heating furnaces, the coal quality is poor – it’s mainly local coal from Guizhou, with an ash content of over 20% and a ash fusion point of around 1500. Moreover, the quality of this coal varies over time, with a pH level of around 6. Various cationic polyacrylamide flocculants were tried, but none proved effective; the turbidity of the ash-water mixture also fluctuates significantly. I would like to ask experts: what type of flocculant is generally used in space heating furnaces these days?

It’s probably due to the quality of the coal; we use that from Zhongnan and Tianmai

Given the long-term fluctuations in coal quality, it cannot be resolved by a single flocculant, or rather, by a single flocculation process.

I’m sorry, I’ve been really busy lately. We have also used those from Central South, and the results were poor as well. The quality of coal varies quite a lot; sometimes it is mixed coal, and the proportion of different coal types used in combustion is also uncertain. Therefore, I am looking for a flocculant with broad compatibility. What brand of flocculant do you use currently? Would it be possible to share that information?

Mm-hmm, that’s right. It seems that the water quality was better at the beginning when the machine was first in use; is it necessary to clean certain equipment on a regular basis? I would be very grateful if an expert could advise me on some auxiliary methods or other approaches related to the manufacturing process

A selection has been made; many different types of flocculants were considered, with cationic polyacrylamides having a high molecular weight generally being the preferred choice. After installing it, it either fails to stay stable or its performance is not as good as that in the small experiments.

If it sometimes works well and sometimes doesn’t, it’s probably not due to the medication. We just haven’t found the root cause yet. Changes in conversion rate as well as variations in the particle size of the coal slurry can both have an impact on water quality

The quality of water varies from time to time due to fluctuations in coal quality; as the type of coal changes frequently and it is burned in combination with other fuels, the proportions involved are also uncertain. Therefore, it is really difficult to maintain excellent water quality over the long term. I’m wondering now whether it’s possible to find a flocculant with high inclusivity, and from the perspective of process management, to ensure water quality as much as possible

If the variations in coal quality are so severe, it is quite difficult to find such a solution; it would be better to have several chemical manufacturers conduct tests

Both Zhongnan and Tianmai are using them; we have two different frameworks. How many cubic meters of wastewater do you discharge?
