Necessity, history, actuality, problems and countermeasures, industrial application prospect of seawater used as cycling cooling water are analysed. When seawater is used as cycling cooling water, waste water discharge quantity and intake quantity of water are small, engineering investment and operation cost are low, and it is more reasonable in economy. It is in favour of saving fresh water resources, easing tensions in industrial water, protecting marine environment of coastal areas, keeping ecological balance, but the corrosion, scaling and biological control problems in the system running, including salt deposition, salt fog splash, erosion, etc of the seawater cooling tower, should be solved well.
Fresh water resources are short in our country, and seawater need be used as industrial cooling waterThe shortage crisis of fresh water resources has become increasingly worse, and the normal activities of human beings are under serious threat, with the rapid development of social economy, population growth and the increasing deterioration of the ecological environment. Our country is ranked as one of the 13 driest countries in the world by the United Nations, and lack of fresh water resources is one of the most serious resource problems in our country. China's coastline is 1.82*10 3 km, and dozens of coastal cities are rich in seawater resources. [1][2][3][4] According to statistics, about 80% of the urban water is industrial water, and about 80% of the industrial water is industrial cooling water. In coastal areas, fresh water resource is very limited, and allowable withdrawal is declining year after year. In coastal and island areas, seawater used as source of thermal power, nuclear power, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical and other industries cooling water, not only can save fresh water, make the limited freshwater resources for maximum use, alleviate contradictory problem of the shortage of fresh water and the industrial development, but also is the important way to solve the shortage of water resources in our country industry, will produce remarkable economic benefit and social benefit. At present, a batch of seawater cooling thermal power plants, nuclear power plants have been set up in China's coastal areas. [4][5][6][7][8][9] The history and status quo of seawater used as industrial cooling water Cooling ways include once-through cooling and cycling cooling when water is used as industrial cooling water.Once-through cooling using seawater is that seawater is discharged directly after it is pumped through simple grid filters and into the condensers or other heat exchange equipments. At present, the cooling way is adopting by most of coastal thermal power plants, because it has a lot of advantages, including that seawater temperature is low and quite stable, seawater resources are rich, stable and reliable, cooling effect is good, operation and management is simple,...
