Abstract

The process of removing corrosive gases from water at TPPs in packed columns of calciners and in columns of thermal deaerators with a storage tank in film mode is considered and a mathematical model is presented for calculating the efficiency of the desorption process. A cell model of the flow structure and an equation for calculating the mass transfer coefficient for a wave flow of a water film over the surface of a packing with artificial roughness are used. The value of the required height of the packing layer is obtained for the given density of irrigation with water and the efficiency of extracting gases dissolved in water. Formulas are given for calculating the parameters of a mathematical model: the coefficient of mass transfer in the wave film, the average velocity of water in the film, the dynamic retention of the liquid in the packing layer and the number of cells for complete mixing of the liquid phase. The possibility of using metal chaotic and regular packings is considered, and the results of calculations of the efficiency of mass transfer and the required height of the packing layer at various operating parameters of the desorption process are presented. The graphs of the required layer height for the given efficiency of mass transfer and the power spent on air supply to the desorber when using various nozzles of domestic and foreign production are presented. The article describes the operation of a thermal deaerator with a storage tank and outdated contact devices in a deaerator column at a TPP. The main mass transfer and hydraulic characteristics of modern nozzles for thermal deaerators are presented. Technical solutions have been developed that can be used when choosing a highly efficient metal chaotic packing with a rough surface, which provides an increase in the mass transfer coefficient in a liquid wave film and, accordingly, the efficiency of mass transfer. A variant for modernization of the deaeration column of the DSA-300 deaerator at the Kazan CHPP-3 by replacing outdated contact devices with a modern chaotic packing is shown. As a result of its application, compliance with the standards of water purification from dissolved oxygen is ensured at various loads on water and steam.
