    摘要: A spent caustic treatment process addresses the shortcomings with traditional Wet Air Oxidation Systems. The process can treat either refinery or sulphidic spent caustic streams with CODs of up to 50,000 mg/L. The process uses >90% oxygen as an oxidising agent. A horizontal, tubular reactor is operated at pressures between 100 and 170 Bar (ideally 145-165 Bar). The reactor has an operating temperature of between 120° C. and 320° C., ideally 280° C. to 300° C. A closed heat transfer medium circulation loop is utilised for heat recovery from the reactor effluent stream to the spent caustic feed stream. The invention allows for a COD reduction of 75 to 99.9%.

    摘要: The invention relates to a process for treating a waste lye of a lye scrub using an oxidation reactor (100), the waste lye and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas mixture being introduced into the oxidation reactor (100) and steam being introduced into the oxidation reactor (100). It is provided that the steam is at least partially introduced by means of a steam feeding device (10), which has a cylindrical section (11) with a centre axis (12) and a wall (13), the centre axis (12) being aligned perpendicularly, a number of groups of openings (14) being formed in the wall, each of the groups comprising a number of the openings (14), and the number of openings (14) of each of the groups being arranged in one or more planes (15) that is or are in each case aligned perpendicularly to the centre axis (12). A corresponding installation and also a corresponding oxidation reactor (100) are likewise the subject of the present invention.

    摘要: A gas-dissolving device can dissolve a gas in a liquid at a high concentration, and can maintain the concentration of a dissolved gas even in a state in which a circulation operation has been stopped. The gas-dissolving device of the present invention comprises: a dissolving tank for receiving a liquid and a gas from each of a circulation pump and a gas source, and discharging a liquid/gas mixture with an increased dissolved gas concentration in the liquid; and a pressurization dissolving part which is fluidically connected to the dissolving tank, and which has a wound coil portion or a plurality of bent portions to further increase the concentration of the dissolved gas, and thus discharge a high-concentration-gas solution. The dissolving tank includes: a plurality of dispersing trays, which are each formed in a shape of having an inclined surface extended in the outer downward direction; and a plurality of water-collecting trays, which are each formed in a shape of having an inclined surface extended in the inner downward direction and each have a through-hole formed at the lower end thereof, wherein the plurality of dispersing trays and the plurality of water-collecting trays are alternately arranged in the vertical direction.

    摘要: A cost-effective system and method dissolves gas, such as oxygen, into water in a manner that prevents gas bubble carry over by using a bubble capture system (BCS). The system and method further eliminates or minimizes turbulence at the suction and discharge of a pump using an energy dissipation header (EDH). The BCS can create a top-down flow that permits bubbles to rise faster than the velocity of the downward flow of water. The EDH can use a pipe design, such as a slotted pipe design, that permits a maximum system water flow. The technology can be applied to water bodies to mitigate eutrophication and may also be applicable in other fields, such as wastewater lift stations, fish farms, oil and gas industry, tidal applications with low flushing rates, and winter under ice oxygenation to prevent fish kills.
