Detailed Implementation Manner

[0021] Example 1

[0022] A reclaimed water reuse and rainwater collection and utilization system for highway service areas includes a sewage treatment unit, a rainwater collection unit and a water-saving irrigation unit.

[0023] The sewage treatment unit includes a grille 1, a lift pump house 2, an MBR reactor 3, a sewage disinfection tank 4, a reclaimed water storage tank 10 and a reclaimed water reuse pump 11 connected in sequence; the rainwater collection unit includes an initial rainwater runoff device 5, an underground reservoir 6, a coagulation sedimentation tank 7, a filtration tank 8, a rainwater disinfection tank 9, a reclaimed water storage tank 10 and a reclaimed water reuse pump 11 connected in sequence; the water-saving irrigation unit includes a micro-sprinkler irrigation system 12 and a drip irrigation system 13.

[0024] The grille 1 selects a planar, inclined mechanical grille such as the XGS-300 type, and the grid bar gap is determined according to the size of the impurities in the sewage, which is used to intercept large particle suspended solids in the sewage; the lift pump house 2 adopts a small rectangular reinforced concrete structure, and 3 WQR5-10-1.1 type submersible sewage pumps are installed inside, 2 are used and 1 is reserved, which is used to lift sewage and adjust the water volume.

[0025] The MBR reactor 3 adopts the membrane bioreactor technology and selects the integrated ZWM-200 type equipment with a built-in flat membrane module. The membrane pore size of the membrane module is below 0.1 micron. Through biological treatment and membrane separation technology, biological treatment and membrane separation of sewage are carried out to effectively remove pollutants such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the sewage, achieve efficient solid-liquid separation, and ensure the effluent water quality.

[0026] The sewage disinfection tank 4 adopts chlorine dioxide disinfection and is equipped with an HB-1000 type chlorine dioxide generator. Disinfection treatment is carried out according to the treatment water volume and water quality requirements to kill pathogenic microorganisms in the water and ensure the disinfection effect.

[0027] The reclaimed water storage tank 10 adopts a reinforced concrete structure, undergoes anti-floating treatment, and is equipped with a liquid level control system. The reclaimed water reuse pump 11 transports the reclaimed water to water use points such as toilet flushing and greening irrigation in the service area according to the water demand of the water use points.

[0028] The initial rainwater runoff diversion device 5, at the beginning of rainfall, in order to reduce the later treatment cost, diverts and discharges the rainwater with a certain rainfall in the early stage according to the actual situation.

[0029] The capacity of the underground storage tank 6 is designed according to the average annual rainfall and water demand of the service area and is used to collect and store rainwater.

[0030] Coagulating agents such as polyaluminum chloride are added into the coagulation sedimentation tank 7 to cause the impurities in the rainwater to coagulate and precipitate.

[0031] The filtration tank 8 selects quartz sand as the filter material to filter the residual particles and further improve the rainwater quality.

[0032] The rainwater disinfection tank 9 adopts chlorine dioxide disinfection and is equipped with an HB-1000 type chlorine dioxide generator to kill the pathogenic microorganisms in the rainwater.

[0033] The micro-sprinkler irrigation system 12 is used for large-area lawns. Water is sprayed on the plant branches and leaves and the ground through micro-sprinklers for irrigation. The irrigation pipe network adopts a layout combining loop and branch shapes, is equipped with an intelligent control system, monitors parameters such as soil humidity, air temperature, and light through sensors, automatically controls the irrigation volume and time, and realizes precise irrigation. A filtering device is set at the head of the irrigation pipe network to remove impurities and prevent clogging of the drip heads and sprinklers.

[0034] The drip irrigation system 13 is used for vegetation such as flowers and trees that require more precise water demand. Water is slowly, evenly, and quantitatively dripped into the soil near the roots of the plants through drip heads.

[0035] A treatment method based on the reclaimed water reuse and rainwater collection and utilization system of highway service areas:

[0036] 1) Sewage treatment method: In actual operation, the sewage generated in the highway service area enters the grille 1, which intercepts large particles of suspended solids and other debris. The sewage is lifted and adjusted by the lifting pump room 2 and then stably sent to the MBR reactor 3. According to the sewage flow and water quality of the service area, 3 sets of integrated ZWM-200 MBR equipment are selected. In the MBR reactor 3, microorganisms degrade organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the sewage, and the membrane components intercept microorganisms, suspended solids, etc., to achieve solid-liquid separation, which can ensure that the effluent water quality meets the standard. During operation, the parameters such as dissolved oxygen, sludge concentration, pH value in the MBR reactor 3 are regularly monitored, and the operating parameters such as aeration volume and sludge discharge volume are adjusted in time according to the monitoring results to ensure the stable operation of the MBR reactor 3. The effluent of the MBR reactor 3 enters the sewage disinfection tank 4, and enters the reclaimed water storage tank 10 after the pathogenic microorganisms in the water are disinfected and killed by chlorine dioxide. The reclaimed water stored in the reclaimed water storage tank 10 is transported to the water-saving irrigation unit or other water use points in the service area by the reclaimed water reuse pump 11 according to the water demand. The quality of the reclaimed water in the reclaimed water storage tank 10 should be tested regularly to ensure that all indicators meet the standards for reclaimed water reuse.

[0037] 2) Rainwater treatment method: The roofs of service area buildings, parking lots and roads are the main collection surfaces. After reasonable slope design, rainwater flows into the collection pipe. The rainwater first passes through the initial rainwater discharge device 5 for discharge treatment, and then is collected into the underground water storage tank 6 through the transmission pipe made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials, and then enters the coagulation sedimentation tank 7, the filter tank 8 and the rainwater disinfection tank 9 for treatment. The coagulation sedimentation tank 7 adds coagulants such as polyaluminium chloride to condense and precipitate impurities; the filter tank 8 uses quartz sand filter material to filter residual particles; the rainwater disinfection tank 9 uses chlorine dioxide for disinfection to kill pathogenic microorganisms. The treated rainwater enters the reclaimed water storage tank 10, and the reclaimed water is reused by the reclaimed water reuse pump 11 for road cleaning, toilet flushing, etc., or enters the water-saving irrigation system. An intelligent control system is introduced to monitor parameters such as rainwater collection volume in real time and automatically control the operation of related equipment.

[0038] 3) Water-saving irrigation method: The water-saving irrigation system adopts a combination of drip irrigation system 13 and micro-sprinkler irrigation system 12 according to the vegetation distribution and water demand characteristics. The intelligent control system accurately controls the irrigation amount and time according to the sensor data, and monitors the soil moisture in real time through the soil moisture sensor. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the irrigation system is started, and the irrigation is stopped when it reaches the appropriate range. A filtering device is set at the head of the irrigation network to remove impurities and prevent clogging of drippers and sprinklers.

[0039] It is necessary to regularly maintain the equipment of the entire system, check the operation of equipment such as the grille 1, the submersible sewage pump in the lift pump house 2, and the chlorine dioxide generator in the sewage disinfection tank 4, clean up sundries, and check the sealing and wear conditions, etc. Clean the membrane module of the MBR reactor 3 according to regulations. The cleaning is divided into daily maintenance cleaning and chemical cleaning. The daily maintenance cleaning uses reverse flushing with clean water, and the chemical cleaning uses agents such as sodium hypochlorite and citric acid. Determine the cleaning frequency according to the membrane fouling situation.

[0040] During daily operation, continuously optimize the system. By analyzing the long-term accumulated water quality and water volume data, further accurately adjust the process parameters of sewage treatment and rainwater treatment. For example, according to the water quality changes of sewage and rainwater in different seasons and different traffic flows, dynamically adjust the aeration volume of the MBR reactor 3, the dosage of coagulant in the coagulation sedimentation tank 7, etc., to ensure the treatment effect while reducing the operation cost. For the water-saving irrigation unit, deeply study the water demand laws of different vegetation at different growth stages, and combine the real-time monitored soil humidity, meteorological data, etc. to continuously optimize the intelligent irrigation strategy. Introduce machine learning algorithms to analyze historical irrigation data and vegetation growth conditions, predict the optimal irrigation volume and irrigation time under different conditions, and achieve more accurate water resource utilization. Establish a perfect equipment file management system, and detailedly record information such as the purchase time, installation location, maintenance records, and repair history of each piece of equipment. Through regular equipment inspections and data analysis, predict in advance the possible failures of equipment, take preventive maintenance measures, reduce the impact of sudden equipment failures on system operation, and extend the service life of equipment.
