Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for biological
sewage treatment with effects of
nitrogen and
phosphorus synchronous removal and
sludge reduction. The apparatus comprises a water inlet
pipe 1, an anaerobic tank 2, a median
settling tank 3, an intermediate water tank 4, a biological aerated filter (BAF) 5, an anoxic tank 6, a rear
aeration tank 7, a secondary
settling tank 8 and a water outlet
pipe 9 connected in sequence. The method for biological
sewage treatment includes mixing
raw water and P-enriched returned
sludge in the anaerobic tank, utilizing denitrifying
phosphorus removing
bacteria (DPBs) to absorb volatile
organic acid (VFA) and store the same in the form of poly Beta-
hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) while releasing a great quantity of
phosphorus; carrying out removal of residual COD and
nitrification of
nitrogen by the BAF, delivering
nitrification liquor of the BAF and
sludge of the median
settling tank into the anoxic tank together, and utilizing the DPBs in the anoxic tank to carry out denitrifying phosphorus-uptake by taking in-vivo PHB as
energy source and
carbon source and taking NO3<-> as an
electron acceptor; removing residue phosphorus and blowing off
nitrogen gas to avoid sludge floating in the rear
aeration tank, delivering the mixture liquid into the secondary settling tank, discharging supernate, returning a part of sludge containing a great quantity of DPBs and discharging residual sludge. By the method, the problem of conflict between
nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal is solved, quality stability of outlet water is guaranteed, and yield of sludge is low.
