The core high-efficiency deodorization logic of deodorization towers in different scenarios has its own emphasis, and the specific methods are as follows:
Efficient deodorization of deodorization towers requires matching corresponding process optimization, parameter control, and structural design strategies with equipment types (chemical washing type, biological type, oil specific type, etc.). The core high-efficiency deodorization logic of deodorization towers in different scenarios has its own emphasis, and the specific methods are as follows:
1、 Chemical scrubbing deodorization tower (industrial waste gas, sewage treatment plant, etc.)
This type of deodorization tower relies on acid-base neutralization and oxidation-reduction reactions to decompose odors. The key to efficient deodorization lies in correctly matching reagents and strengthening gas-liquid contact:
1. Grading treatment+drug adaptation
Adopting the three tower series process of "acid washing tower+alkali washing tower+oxidation tower", corresponding reagents are selected for different odor components: the acid washing tower uses dilute sulfuric acid to remove alkaline gases such as ammonia, the alkali washing tower uses sodium hydroxide to capture acidic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, and the oxidation tower uses a mixture of sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide to decompose organic odors such as VOCs, achieving targeted removal.
Real time monitoring of chemical parameters: The acid/alkali washing tower controls the concentration of chemicals through an online pH meter, while the oxidation tower synchronously monitors pH and ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), automatically replenishing chemicals to avoid failure.
2. Optimize the gas-liquid contact method
The acid washing tower and oxidation tower adopt a countercurrent contact design, with exhaust gas flowing from bottom to top and chemicals flowing from top to bottom, increasing the gas-liquid contact area and time; The alkali washing tower adopts gas-liquid co flow to reduce gas flow resistance while ensuring absorption efficiency.
Install double-layer packing and atomizing nozzle to form a uniform liquid film on the surface of the packing or atomize it into small droplets, thereby improving the efficiency of mass transfer reaction.
2、 Biological deodorization tower (in scenarios such as breeding farms and waste transfer stations)
The biological deodorization tower uses microorganisms to degrade odor molecules, and the core of efficient deodorization is to maintain microbial activity and enhance gas-liquid mass transfer:
1. Optimization of fillers and microbial communities
Porous fillers such as ceramic particles, biochar, and activated carbon are selected to increase the attachment area of microorganisms. At the same time, the filler layer is designed as a multi-layer structure to prolong the contact time between odor and microbial communities.
Inoculate a complex functional bacterial community (such as nitrifying bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, sulfur oxidizing bacteria) to specifically degrade different odor components such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, and regularly supplement nutrient solution to maintain bacterial vitality.
2. Environmental parameter control
Maintain the temperature inside the tower at 25-35 ℃ and humidity at 80% -90%, and adjust the spray frequency through an online monitoring system to avoid bacterial death caused by dry or excessively wet packing.
Control the intake load to avoid high concentration odor impacting the microbial community, and if necessary, add a pre-treatment system (such as dust removal and cooling).
3、 Oil specific deodorization tower (for edible oil processing scenarios)
The oil deodorization tower removes odorous substances through physical distillation, and the key to efficient deodorization is to control temperature, pressure, and steam parameters:
1. Vacuum and temperature regulation
Maintain a high vacuum environment with a pressure of 0.27-0.40kPa inside the tower, control the deodorization temperature at 230-270 ℃, lower the boiling point of odorous substances, and allow them to evaporate rapidly at low temperatures, while avoiding excessive oxidation of oils and fats.
Adopting multi-stage steam jet pumps and high-efficiency condensers to ensure stable vacuum inside the tower and prevent the reflux of odorous substances.
2. Steam and process optimization
Control the rate and time of steam introduction to ensure full contact between steam and oil, and carry odor components out of the tower; Choose dry, high-pressure saturated steam to avoid oil emulsification caused by steam containing water.
For high acid value oils, fatty acid flash evaporation pretreatment is carried out before entering the deodorization tower to reduce the source of odor; The supporting active clay dynamic adsorption process adsorbs residual polar odor substances such as aldehydes and ketones.
4、 General and efficient operation guarantee measures
Pre processing stage: Install dust removal, oil removal, and cooling equipment at the front end of the deodorization tower to avoid impurities blocking the packing or affecting reaction efficiency.
Intelligent control system: equipped with sensors for flow rate, concentration, temperature, etc., real-time monitoring of intake composition and treatment effect, automatic adjustment of fan speed, dosage of chemicals, spray frequency and other parameters.
Regular maintenance: Regularly clean the packing, replace aging nozzles, clean the scaling or deposits inside the tower, and ensure smooth gas-liquid circulation.
