Abstract

Supercritical water oxidation is a promising technology for decomposition of industrial wastewater and sludge. However, the system is operated under high temperature and pressure (usually higher than 500 °C and 25 MPa). Corrosion of component materials and salt deposition may lead to leakage or even the burst of the pressure vessel in the SCWO system, resulting in a high level of worry about the safe operation of the system. In this paper, the safety management and accident- control strategies are introduced according to a commercial-scale SCWO plant in China. The safety management strategy refers to the special design and operation strategies of some facilities. Different types of potential accidents are analyzed and the coping strategies for accidents of different levels of severity are described in detail. The strategies are valuable for the safe operation of commercial SCWO plants and other plants operated in high temperature and high pressure.
