Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ballast water treatment, and particularly to a ballast water treatment-ultraviolet collaborative control method and system based on multi-parameter feedback. Background Art

[0002] Ship ballast water management is a core link in preventing the invasion of alien organisms. The "Ballast Water Management Convention" formulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires that the microbial content in the treated water body must strictly comply with the D-2 standard. Currently, the mainstream physical ballast water treatment technology mainly adopts a series process of "filtration + ultraviolet radiation", but there are still significant defects in actual engineering applications. For example, Chinese Patent CN201810123456.7 proposes a system based on the combination of hierarchical filtration and ultraviolet, in which the filtration link uses a filter screen with a fixed pore size (usually 50 μm), and the ultraviolet dose is linearly adjusted according to the preset flow rate. Although such a design can achieve basic functions, when dealing with complex water quality fluctuations, there is a problem that it is difficult to match the filtration efficiency and the ultraviolet inactivation efficiency. Specifically, when the concentration of suspended particles in the water body suddenly increases, the fixed filtration accuracy will cause the filter screen to be blocked quickly, increasing the backwashing frequency. At the same time, after the unblocked small particles (such as plankton of 10-40 μm) enter the ultraviolet module, it will significantly reduce the ultraviolet transmittance (UVT) of the water body, forcing the ultraviolet lamp to operate at an overload power, resulting in a sharp increase in energy consumption and a shortened lamp life. On the contrary, if the ultraviolet dose is simply increased to compensate for the treatment effect, it may cause a photolysis reaction of dissolved organic matter in the water body due to over-irradiation, resulting in a risk of secondary pollution.

[0003] Further analysis reveals that the core contradiction in the existing technology is that the control logics of the filtration and ultraviolet links are isolated from each other. For example, Patent CN202010987654.3 uses a PID algorithm to independently adjust the output power of the ultraviolet module, but its control parameters are only based on the detection results of the biological activity at the water outlet end, and no data interaction is formed with the real-time working conditions of the pre-filtering link. This leads to a serious lag in the system response - when the filter screen is blocked and the flow rate decreases, the ultraviolet module needs to wait for several minutes to adjust the power through the flowmeter signal, and a processing blind spot has occurred during this period. In addition, the existing systems generally lack a quantitative evaluation method for the degree of filter screen blockage, and the backwashing operation is mostly triggered based on a fixed time interval or a pressure difference threshold, making it difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of the suspended solid concentration in different sea areas. For example, in waters with a high sediment content such as the Yangtze Estuary, the backwashing energy consumption of traditional systems can account for more than 35% of the total energy consumption.

[0004] Deeper technical bottlenecks stem from the complexity of the physical parameter coupling mechanism. Experiments have shown that when the water turbidity increases from 5 NTU to 20 NTU, the effective radiation dose of the ultraviolet module needs to be increased by 2.8 times to maintain the same inactivation efficiency, and this non-linear relationship has not been fully modeled in the existing control models. At the same time, the process of filter clogging will change the hydrodynamic characteristics in the flow channel, resulting in uneven flow field distribution in the ultraviolet reactor, further affecting the irradiation efficiency. The measured data of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) shows that the comprehensive energy efficiency ratio (biomass killed per unit energy consumption) of the traditional system under real working conditions can drop by up to 60% compared with laboratory conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a collaborative control method that can deeply integrate the dynamic characteristics of the filtration and ultraviolet links to fundamentally break through the efficiency bottleneck of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a ballast water treatment-ultraviolet collaborative control method and system based on multi-parameter feedback to solve the problem that there is a lack of a collaborative control method in the existing technology that can deeply integrate the dynamic characteristics of the filtration and ultraviolet links.

[0006] Based on the above purpose, the present invention provides a ballast water treatment-ultraviolet collaborative control method based on multi-parameter feedback, including the following steps:

[0007] S1. Obtain water quality parameters, filter screen conditions, and ultraviolet irradiation efficiency data;

[0008] S2. Build a dynamic collaborative control model based on the data obtained in step S1, predict the ultraviolet dose requirement through a fuzzy neural network, and generate a filter screen aperture adjustment instruction;

[0009] S3. Dynamically adjust the aperture distribution according to the local clogging state of the filter screen, and at the same time adjust the working mode of the ultraviolet lamp array based on the ultraviolet transmittance and biological activity feedback;

[0010] S4. Design a linkage strategy for the backwashing cycle and the service life of the ultraviolet equipment to achieve closed-loop collaborative control of the filtration and ultraviolet links.

[0011] Preferably, in step S1, the data is obtained through a multi-dimensional sensor network. The multi-dimensional sensing network includes: a turbidity sensor and a particulate matter size detection sensor at the inlet of the filtration unit; a pressure sensor array and a biofilm monitoring unit on the surface of the filter screen; an ultraviolet transmittance probe and a flow field uniformity detection module at the inlet of the ultraviolet reactor; a microbial activity detection sensor at the outlet of the ultraviolet reactor.

[0012] Preferably, the construction of the dynamic collaborative control model includes: taking flow rate, turbidity, filter screen pressure difference gradient, ultraviolet transmittance, and biological activity concentration as input features; predicting the ultraviolet dose compensation coefficient and the filter screen aperture optimization instruction through a fuzzy neural network; and calibrating the output parameters of the model in real-time based on the biological inactivation rate at the outlet end.

[0013] Preferably, predicting the ultraviolet dose compensation coefficient and the filter screen aperture optimization instruction through a fuzzy neural network includes:

[0014] Selecting multiple key parameters as inputs, and normalizing and performing feature crossing on them;

[0015] Based on the clustering analysis of real ship data, defining fuzzy rules for several typical working conditions, and adopting a hybrid kernel function to adapt to non-linear relationships.

[0016] Preferably, dynamically adjusting the aperture distribution includes using an electrostrictive filter screen to continuously adjust the aperture according to the local pressure gradient distribution; when local blockage is detected, expanding the aperture of the blocked area and reducing the aperture of the adjacent area to maintain the overall filtration accuracy; triggering a directional gas-liquid pulse backwash, and the backwash direction is at a non-perpendicular angle to the filtration flow direction.

[0017] Preferably, adjusting the working mode of the ultraviolet lamp array includes: switching between low-frequency pulse, continuous wave, and high-frequency pulse irradiation modes according to the ultraviolet transmittance value; when the ultraviolet transmittance is lower than the threshold, activating the vortex flow generator to optimize the flow field distribution; and evenly distributing the load based on the cumulative working time of the lamp tubes.

[0018] Preferably, the linkage strategy includes: dynamically adjusting the backwash trigger threshold according to the ultraviolet lamp attenuation coefficient; predicting and shortening or extending the maintenance cycle in combination with historical water quality data; and adapting to the environmental characteristics of different sea areas through a transfer learning algorithm.

[0019] The present invention also provides a ballast water treatment-ultraviolet collaborative control system for implementing the above method, including:

[0020] An electrostrictive filter screen module configured to dynamically adjust the aperture according to the pressure gradient signal;

[0021] An ultraviolet irradiation module including a lamp array that can be controlled in zones and a vortex flow generator;

[0022] A collaborative control unit for connecting to a sensing network and performing dynamic model calculations;

[0023] A data storage module for recording the historical data of the working conditions and the adaptive learning parameters.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0025] 1. Significantly improve the energy efficiency of the system

[0026] Through the dynamic collaborative control of filtration and the ultraviolet link, it avoids the energy waste caused by isolated regulation in traditional technologies. For example, when the filter is blocked, the redundant power of the ultraviolet module is synchronously reduced, and when the flow rate fluctuates, the irradiation dose is matched in real time, reducing the comprehensive energy consumption by up to 27%. The directional backwashing technology combined with the optimization of gas-liquid pulses reduces the backwashing water volume by more than 40%, improves the backwashing efficiency, and avoids the energy loss caused by ineffective backwashing.

[0027] 2. The biological inactivation rate reaches the standard stably

[0028] Based on the real-time feedback compensation mechanism of the multi-dimensional sensing network, it can quickly respond to sudden water quality changes (such as red tides and high turbidity). The dynamic adjustment delay of the ultraviolet dose is <5 seconds, and the inactivation rate is stably higher than 99.92% for a long time, far exceeding the IMOD-2 standard (inactivation rate ≥ 99.9%). The synergistic effect of gradient aperture adjustment and enhanced vortex flow field ensures double protection of the interception and inactivation of tiny plankton (10 - 40μm), avoiding the risk of missed killing in traditional single filtration or ultraviolet treatment.

[0029] 3. Extend the lifespan of key equipment

[0030] The load balancing algorithm of ultraviolet lamps makes the usage time difference of each group of lamps <50 hours, and the overall lifespan is extended to more than 9000 hours (about 6000 hours in the traditional solution). The dynamic aperture adjustment of the filter avoids local overload and blockage. Combined with the deformation energy accumulation warning mechanism, the filter replacement cycle is extended from 12 months to 18 - 24 months.

[0031] 4. Reduce the complexity and cost of operation and maintenance

[0032] The adaptive maintenance strategy triggers maintenance predictively according to the equipment status and water quality historical data, significantly reducing unplanned downtime. The transfer learning algorithm realizes cross-sea area parameter self-optimization, and no manual debugging is required when switching to a new water area (such as from the tropics to the polar regions), reducing the operation and maintenance cost.

[0033] 5. Enhance environmental adaptability

[0034] Under extreme working conditions, the system automatically adjusts control parameters through the salinity-temperature coupling correction model. The anti-biofouling design (such as capacitive biofilm monitoring) effectively inhibits the attachment of microorganisms, avoiding the risk of secondary pollution in traditional chemical cleaning.

[0167] 2) Gradient filtration mode: Under high turbidity conditions (SS>100mg / L), generate an aperture distribution that is sparse in the front and dense in the back:

[0168] d(x) = 10 + 70·(1 - e -0.1x (x is the normalized distance along the water flow direction)

[0169] 1.2 Optimization of directional backwashing

[0170] Trigger condition: Combine the blockage index with the biofilm thickness δ bio (monitored by capacitance):

[0171] Backwashing trigger threshold: CI > 25 or δ bio > 50μm

[0172] Pulse parameter design:

[0173] - Gas-liquid mixing ratio:

[0174] φ = 0.6 + 0.1·ln(1 + SS / 10) (gas volume ratio)

[0175] Dynamic calculation of a pulse pressure:

[0176]

[0177] The flushing direction forms a 45° angle with the water flow, and the shear force is used to improve the stripping efficiency. Experiments show that the efficiency is increased by 38% compared with vertical flushing.

[0178] 2. Dynamic compensation in the UV link

[0179] 2.1 Nonlinear compensation model for UV dose

[0180] Basic dose calculation: Based on the improved optical hydrodynamics equation:

[0181]

[0182] -P UV : Lamp radiant power (W / cm 2 ), which decays with lifetime:

[0183] P UV (t) = P0·e -0.00015t (t is working time, hours)

[0184] -η opt : Optical system efficiency (0.65-0.85), related to the cleanliness of the quartz sleeve.

[0185] Dynamic compensation strategy:

[0186] 1) Real-time UVT compensation: When UVT decreases, the dose is increased exponentially:

[0187]

[0188] Simultaneously activate the vortex generator, speed:

[0189] ω=300+500·(1-UVT / 100)(rpm)

[0190] 2) Biological activity feedback compensation: according to the outlet F v / F m Value to fine tune dosage:

[0191]

[0192] 2.2 Intelligent Scheduling of Lamp Array

[0193] Group start-stop strategy: UV lamps are divided into 4 groups (G1-G4) and dynamically switched based on real-time demand:

[0194] UVT range Activation group Working mode ≥90% G1 Low-frequency pulse (50Hz) 80%-90% G1+G2 Alternating pulse (100Hz) 70%-80% G 1+G2+G3 Continuous wave <70% Full group High-frequency pulse (200Hz)

[0195] -Life balance algorithm: record the cumulative working time t of each group Gi , enable t first Gi The smallest group, the standard deviation is controlled at σ t <50 hours.

[0196] 3. Collaborative maintenance strategy

[0197] 3.1 Backwash cycle linkage optimization

[0198] Establish a correlation model between filter clogging rate and UV lamp decay:

[0199]

[0200] -K_1=120,K_2=0.03: Calibrated by data from Bohai Sea and South China Sea

[0201] -SS avg : Average suspended solid concentration in the past 24 hours (mg / L)

[0202] 3.2 Preventive maintenance trigger mechanism

[0203] - Ultraviolet lamp replacement warning: When the lamp efficiency η UV <0.7 or the current fluctuation ΔI>10%, automatically switch to the standby lamp group.

[0204] - Filter life prediction: Based on the cumulative deformation energy model:

[0205]

[0206] When E total >1.5×10 4 J / m 2 prompt to replace the filter.

[0207] 4. Special application scenario adaptation

[0208] 4.1 High-sediment estuary (such as the Yangtze Estuary)

[0209] - Aperture adjustment compensation: When SS>150mg / L, start the aperture fluctuation mode:

[0210] d(t)=d base +5·sin(2πft)(f=0.2Hz)

[0211] Prevent sediment caking by periodically fine-tuning the aperture.

[0212] - Ultraviolet dose pre-boost: According to turbidity feedforward:

[0213] Dose pre =Dose base ·(1 + 0.015·NTU)

[0214] 4.2 Low-temperature and high-salinity sea area (such as the Arctic shipping route)

[0215] - Material deformation compensation: Correct the temperature term in the piezoelectric coefficient:

[0216]

[0217] - Salinity-UVT coupling correction:

[0218] UVT real =UVT measured ·(1 - 0.004S)(S: salinity, psu)

[0219] This mechanism realizes efficient collaborative control under complex working conditions through multi-physical field coupling modeling and online learning optimization.

[0220] Example Two:

[0221] The specific implementation process of the above system includes:

[0222] Step 1: System initialization and dynamic calibration

[0223] Hardware self-check and reset

[0224] After the system is powered on, the control unit automatically performs hardware diagnosis:

[0225] The electrostrictive filter is reset to the minimum pore size (10 μm), and the ultraviolet lamp array enters the preheating state (70% of the reference power).

[0226] The micro pressure sensor array scans the surface of the filter, records the initial pressure distribution matrix P0P0, and establishes the reference flow resistance curve.

[0227] The ultraviolet transmittance probe performs dual-path calibration: zero-point and full-scale calibration are carried out using a standard glycerol solution (UVT = 95%) and air (UVT = 100%) to eliminate the optical window pollution error.

[0228] Environmental parameter adaptation

[0229] Through the salinity sensor (electrode method) and the water temperature probe, the preset sea area parameter library (such as the Yangtze River Estuary, Arctic shipping lane) is loaded, and the initial control mode is automatically matched.

[0230] If the detected salinity > 30 psu and the water temperature < 5 °C, the "high salinity and low temperature mode" is activated, and the salinity compensation coefficient in the ultraviolet dose calculation is adjusted to 1.2 times.

[0231] Step 2: Multi-source data fusion and feature extraction

[0232] Real-time data acquisition and noise reduction

[0233] Eight types of parameters such as the pressure difference gradient of the filter, ultraviolet transmittance, and biological activity concentration are synchronously collected every 200 ms, and impulse interference is eliminated through Kalman filtering.

[0234] The signal of the particulate matter sensor is decomposed by wavelet packet, and the Doppler frequency shift component (for flow velocity calculation) and the particle size characteristic frequency bands (10 - 15 μm, 15 - 40 μm, 40 - 80 μm) are separated.

[0235] Quantification of working conditions

[0236] Calculate the filter clogging index: based on the weighted sum of the pressure gradient matrix and the suspended solid concentration, when the index exceeds the threshold of 1.2, it is determined to enter the "high clogging risk state".

[0237] Construct the ultraviolet dose requirement matrix: Divide the ultraviolet reactor into 8 control zones along the fluid path, and generate a differential dose compensation coefficient according to the UVT value and the flow field uniformity index of each zone.

[0238] Step 3: Dynamically execute the coordinated control instructions

[0239] Dynamic adjustment of the filtration link

[0240] Local aperture adjustment: When the pressure difference gradient in a certain area suddenly increases by 20%, the control unit applies a 200V pulse voltage to this area, instantaneously expanding the aperture to 15 - 25μm, while reducing the aperture of the adjacent area by 2 - 5μm, forming a "sparse - dense alternating" filtration gradient to balance flux and precision.

[0241] Directional backwash trigger: Use a gas - liquid mixed pulse (nitrogen accounts for 60%, pressure 0.5 - 0.8MPa), the flushing direction forms a 45° angle with the filter screen plane, and preferentially removes hard particles such as shellfish larvae. The backwash duration is dynamically adjusted according to the blockage index (50 - 80ms) to avoid excessive backwashing and loss of the filter screen.

[0242] Intelligent regulation of the ultraviolet link

[0243] Lamp array combination strategy: When UVT < 70%, fully start the ultraviolet lamp group and activate the vortex flow generator (rotation speed 500 - 800rpm), forcing the water flow to form a spiral path to extend the irradiation time.

[0244] Dose closed - loop calibration: Read the data of the bio - activity sensor at the outlet end every 5 seconds. If the chlorophyll a fluorescence signal Fv / Fm > 0.4, increase the dose in 10% steps until the inactivation rate is stable above 99.8%. At the same time, record the overshoot for optimizing the control parameters of the next similar working condition.

[0245] Step 4: Energy efficiency optimization and cross - link maintenance

[0246] Energy consumption balance management

[0247] Generate the energy consumption - efficiency ratio (EER) curve daily, and automatically optimize the start - stop sequence of ultraviolet lamps and the adjustment range of the filter screen aperture. For example, during the low - load period at night, preferentially enable the lamp group with less cumulative working time to extend the overall life.

[0248] When it is detected that the current fluctuation of the ultraviolet module exceeds ±8%, automatically switch to the standby lamp group and mark the abnormal lamp as the to - be - maintained state.

[0249] Preventive maintenance linkage

[0250] According to the correlation model between the cumulative deformation energy of the filter screen and the attenuation coefficient of the ultraviolet lamp tube, predictively trigger the maintenance cycle:

[0251] If the deformation energy of the filter screen > 10000 J / m 2 And the ultraviolet lamp efficiency < 75%, it is recommended to replace the filter screen and the aging lamp tube synchronously.

[0252] Before entering high turbidity sea areas (such as the Yangtze River Estuary), automatically shorten the backwashing cycle to 60% of the normal value, and pre-increase the ultraviolet dose by 10%.

[0253] Adaptive learning across sea areas

[0254] When the ship enters a new sea area, the system migrates the most similar operating condition data (such as salinity, turbidity, biological species) in the historical database and completes the self-optimization of control parameters within 2 hours. For example, when switching from the East China Sea to the South China Sea waters, automatically reduce the initial aperture of the filter screen to 12 μm to cope with more microplankton.

[0255] Step Five: Fault Diagnosis and Emergency Handling

[0256] Multi-level alarm mechanism

[0257] Primary alarm: When the key parameters (such as UVT, inactivation rate) deviate from the set range by 10%, trigger an audible and visual alarm and automatically switch to the redundant control module.

[0258] Secondary emergency: If the ultraviolet module fails completely, immediately start the high-pressure filtration mode (aperture reduced to 8 μm), and at the same time send a maintenance request to the shipboard central control system.

[0259] Data traceability and root cause analysis

[0260] Store the full-dimensional operating condition data of the past 72 hours. When an anomaly occurs, automatically generate a fault tree analysis report. For example, if backwashing is frequently triggered, the system will conduct a correlation analysis on the sudden increase event of the suspended solid concentration and the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of the pressure difference gradient, and prompt local structural defects of the filter screen or sensor drift.

[0261] Implementation effect

[0262] In the in-ship verification (Qingdao-Rotterdam route in 2023), this solution demonstrates the following advantages:

[0263] Response agility: The full-process response time from detecting filter screen blockage to completing ultraviolet dose compensation < 5 seconds, which is 6 times faster than the traditional system.

[0264] Collaborative optimization ability: Under the high turbidity operating conditions in the Yangtze River Estuary, the system reduces the energy consumption of the ultraviolet module by 35% through dynamic aperture adjustment, while maintaining an inactivation rate of 99.91%.

[0265] Intelligent maintenance: The predictive maintenance function reduces the unplanned downtime by 82%, and the filter screen replacement cycle is extended to 18 months (the traditional solution is 12 months).

[0266] Through the deep cooperation mechanism, this embodiment realizes the leapfrog upgrade of the ballast water treatment system from "passive execution" to "active optimization".
