Instrument Automation in Petrochemical Wastewater Treatment Process

Automation of temperature measuring instruments

In the petrochemical wastewater treatment process, the temperature test of wastewater requires the application of various temperature-measuring instruments. The thermal resistance temperature measuring instruments and thermocouple temperature measuring instruments are preferred to obtain the temperature data of each link in the wastewater treatment process, providing a basis for reasonable control of the temperature data in the production process. Temperature determines the quality of sewage treatment. If the sewage in petrochemical production is discharged at will, it will inevitably lead to serious environmental pollution accidents. It is the best choice for petrochemical wastewater treatment to strengthen the treatment of petrochemical wastewater to make its water quality meet the quality standard of reuse or discharge and be reused.

The temperature transmitter shall be used to remotely transmit the temperature data measured on-site, so as to convert the thermal signal into an electrical signal. The secondary instrument shall be used to display and output, and the automatic instrument system of petrochemical production shall be combined to implement the automatic control function. Automatically adjust the temperature of sewage to meet the needs of the sewage treatment process. 

The automation of temperature measuring instruments can sense the temperature of sewage in real-time, providing the best data information for removing toxic and harmful components in sewage. If the water temperature is too high, it will lead to a waste of heat energy. If the water temperature is too low, it cannot achieve the treatment effect. Through the application of temperature transmitters, various automatic control instrument systems are interlocked to reasonably adjust the temperature of each process of sewage treatment and improve the effect of sewage treatment.

The collection and processing of temperature data, through the automatic instrument system of petrochemical wastewater treatment, analyzes the temperature changes in each process link, realizes remote regulation and management, and avoids affecting the effect of wastewater treatment due to temperature rise or fall. According to the automation of temperature measuring instruments, the petrochemical wastewater treatment process is optimized, and heat exchange treatment measures are implemented to reduce the loss of heat energy and utilize the residual heat, so as to reduce the cost of petrochemical production and continuously improve the economic benefits of petrochemical production.

Automation of pressure measuring instruments

Pressure data is the key data of petrochemical wastewater treatment. The precision of pressure measurement directly affects the safety of the petrochemical wastewater treatment process. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the pressure of each treatment device to prevent accidents of pressure vessels and ensure the smooth operation of the treatment process. For example, the application of a pressure filter tank can maintain a sufficient filtering effect and avoid high pressure in the tank, which will affect the separation and treatment effect of mechanical impurities in sewage.

Various pressure-measuring instruments shall be optimized. Combined with the measurement of the pressure gauge, a pressure transmitter shall be selected and applied to improve the accuracy of pressure measurement and meet the pressure requirements of the petrochemical wastewater treatment process. The pressure measurement is combined with the petrochemical wastewater production process. When the pressure exceeds the design pressure data, the emergency treatment program is started immediately, and the pressure relief treatment is implemented by opening the outlet valve. If the pressure of the container is too low, turn down the outlet valve or turn up the inlet valve to maintain sufficient pressure on the container so that it can operate efficiently and continuously improve the efficiency of sewage treatment.

In order to better control the flow of sewage, promote the improvement of sewage treatment effect, ensure the sewage treatment capacity, and provide the most reliable sewage treatment program for petrochemical production, the sewage treatment capacity shall be increased as much as possible according to the treatment capacity of the equipment. Prevent the occurrence of poor water treatment effects caused by excessive flow, which will affect the smooth implementation of the petrochemical wastewater treatment process.

The detection and control of the liquid level is a measure to ensure the safe operation of the vessel. The liquid level gauge and the float level controller are used to timely reflect the liquid level of the pressure vessel, and the petrochemical wastewater treatment process is reasonably adjusted to ensure the optimal treatment capacity. Research and apply liquid level transmitters to monitor the change of liquid level in real-time. If the liquid level is too high and exceeds the set value, automatically discharge the fluid, keep the liquid level of the container at the best position, and promote the progress of the sewage treatment process. The high and low liquid levels shall be treated in real time to prevent tank-blowing accidents during petrochemical wastewater treatment, which will affect the safety of petrochemical wastewater treatment.

Automation of online analyzer

The application of various online analytical instruments can solve the detection problems of oxygen content, BOD, and COD indicators in petrochemical wastewater treatment.
