  • Patent number: 9994473
    Abstract: A radial flow hydrothermal reactor for a sludge thermal hydrolysis treatment is provided. An outer and an inner cylinder are successively sleeved in a cylindrical body of the reactor. A guiding cylinder is arranged between the outer and the inner cylinder. Guiding pipes are provided on the guiding cylinder. An agitator is arranged in the inner cylinder, so that sludge has low viscosity and good fluidity after reaching reaction parameters. Because an inlet pipe is arranged below the inner cylinder, the sludge enters the inner cylinder from bottom and flows out from top, and the inner cylinder has a diameter not large, which guarantees heating time. Because of a small height-to-diameter ratio of the reactor, the sludge after heating has the good fluidity, and flows outward radially in the outer cylinder. With an increased flowing radius, a flowing velocity decreases, and a hydrothermal reaction proceeds continuously, which guarantees reaction time.

  • Publication number: 20170297941
    Abstract: An indirect heat transfer supercritical water oxidation system includes a supercritical water oxidation reactant system and an intermediate medium circuit. A control method thereof includes controlling two-process pressure and temperature increase, controlling pressure and temperature decrease and controlling normal operation. The present invention focuses on automatic control strategy of engineering practice of the indirect heat transfer supercritical water oxidation system. The system heating process adopts the idea of circulating heating, which effectively reduces the investment of the heating equipment avoids the mismatch between the working pressure of the two processes, and ensures effectiveness of the heat transfer between supercritical pressure fluid in the inner tube and the outer tube of the preheater/heat exchanger during subsequent heating process. The effective control of a reaction temperature and overpressure protection of critical equipment ensure a process effect and system safety.

An outer cylinder and an inner cylinder are successively sleeved in a cylindrical body of the reactor. A guiding cylinder is arranged between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. Guiding pipes are provided on a sidewall of the guiding cylinder. An agitator is arranged in the inner cylinder, so that sludge has low viscosity and good fluidity after reaching reaction parameters in the inner cylinder. Because an inlet pipe is arranged below the inner cylinder, the sludge enters the inner cylinder from bottom and flows out from top, and the inner cylinder has a diameter not large, which guarantees heating time. Because of a small height-to-diameter ratio of the radial flow hydrothermal reactor, the sludge after heating has the good fluidity, and flows outward radially in a large space of the outer cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9328008
    Abstract: A supercritical water oxidation treatment system for organic wastewater with a high salinity crystallizes high-salinity wastewater by a low temperature of liquid oxygen, and decreases an inorganic salt content in the wastewater. Under supercritical water conditions, a hydrocyclone (4) separates most precipitated solid salts in the wastewater, so effectively prevents pipes and the tubular reactor (22) after the hydrocyclone (4) from plugging. Inorganic salts are able to be continuously separated from the system by the hydrocyclone (4) at the bottom of a desalination device, In addition, excess oxygen and gaseous products CO2 are recovered by a separation recovery part. The reaction time and the reaction temperature of supercritical water oxidation reaction are lowered due to the installation of a simple post-treatment unit (37). Moreover, the heat of the reactor effluent with a high temperature is recovered in the system, so operation cost of the system is reduced evidently.
