Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, specifically to an air flotation oil removal system. Background Technology
[0002] Oily wastewater, after being separated by an inclined plate oil separator, flows by gravity into dissolved air flotation (DAF). DAF employs a partially recirculated pressurized DAF process, with coagulation and flocculation reaction zones at the front end of the flotation. Polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide are added respectively, and flocs are formed through stirring, which is beneficial for pollutant removal. Part of the DAF effluent is pressurized and recirculated to the dissolved air tank, which is connected to an industrial air duct to inject air. Under pressure, the air in the tank dissolves in the water and returns to the front end of the flotation along with the water. The dissolved air release device depressurizes the air to form fine bubbles. Dispersed oil, emulsified oil, and suspended solids in the wastewater can adhere to the fine bubbles and float to the surface, forming a scum layer on the liquid surface before separation. This removes fine dispersed oil and some emulsified oil from the wastewater. The scum produced by flotation is then scraped by a scum scraper to a scum collection tank and flows by gravity to a scum pool. The purified DAF effluent flows into a clear water tank and is pumped to the next stage of treatment (walnut shell filter).
[0003] When dissolved air flotation (DAF) release devices are submerged underwater for extended periods, a large amount of sludge accumulates at the bottom of the flotation tank due to prolonged operation. When the sludge level exceeds the release device outlet, the outlet will become clogged if the flotation system is not used for a long time. Simultaneously, the release device carries water vapor, which can cause internal corrosion. After the flotation system is shut down, rust accumulates at the outlet, mixing with the sludge and forming clumps that block the outlet. This results in the release device failing to release air and produce sludge when the flotation system is restarted, affecting the flotation treatment effect. The release device must then be disassembled and the outlet cleaned, increasing operational risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an air flotation oil removal system that prevents the release device from being blocked by impurities such as sludge and rust, facilitates the next use, saves manpower for disassembly and cleaning, and ensures that the dissolved air flotation process can be put into use quickly.
[0005] To overcome the above difficulties, avoid frequent manual disassembly and cleaning of the release device, ensure rapid commissioning of the air flotation system, and guarantee its treatment effect, this utility model provides an air flotation oil removal system, including a dissolved air tank, an air flotation pool, a release device, a tank inlet line, a tank outlet line, and a purging line.

One end of the pressurized reflux line is connected to the air flotation oil removal device, and the other end is connected to the inlet 2 of the dissolved air tank through the pressurized reflux pump. A pressurization valve is installed upstream of the dissolved air tank.
[0010] Furthermore, a release inlet manual valve is provided on the tank outlet line, and the release inlet manual valve is located upstream of the release device.
[0011] Furthermore, a scum scraper is installed at the top of the flotation tank. The scum scraper is used to remove the scum generated in the flotation tank. The scum is collected in a trough on the side of the flotation tank. The scum in the trough flows into a scum pool outside the flotation oil removal device through a scum discharge pipeline. A scum discharge valve is installed on the scum discharge pipeline.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an air flotation effluent pump, a pump inlet line, and a pump outlet line. One end of the pump inlet line is connected to the air flotation oil removal device, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the air flotation effluent pump. The pump outlet line is connected to the outlet of the air flotation effluent pump. An inlet valve is installed on the pump inlet line, and an outlet valve is installed on the pump outlet line.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an oily wastewater line connected to the air flotation oil removal device.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After adding a ventilation and purging pipeline to the main pipe of the dissolved air flotation release device, the pipeline can be ventilated and purged during the period when the flotation is not in use. The rust in the pipeline and the sludge at the outlet of the release device are blown away, preventing the outlet of the release device from being blocked. This avoids the need for personnel to enter the confined space to disassemble and clean the release device, greatly reducing the operational risks. At the same time, it can also ensure that the dissolved air flotation can be put into use in a timely manner and ensure the sewage treatment effect. Attached Figure Description

[0027] It should be noted that there are two dissolved air flotation devices on site, one in operation and one on standby, serving as backups for each other. The dissolved air flotation system operates intermittently based on the liquid level of the oily wastewater tank.

[0029] It should be noted that a tee should be added before the industrial air pipeline valve of the dissolved air tank 800, and a DN15 pipeline should be led to the manifold of the release device 120. Then, five branch lines should be led to connect to the main pipes of the five release devices 120 respectively. When the air flotation is not in use, the ventilation should be used to purge the release devices 120 to prevent the outlet of the release device 120 from being blocked. When the air flotation is put into use, the ventilation valve should be closed and the ventilation should be stopped.
[0030] In one embodiment, the system also includes a pressurized reflux pump 500 and a pressurized reflux line 510. One end of the pressurized reflux line 510 is connected to the air flotation oil removal device 100, and the other end is connected to the inlet 2 of the dissolved air tank 800 through the pressurized reflux pump 500. A pressurized valve 520 is provided upstream of the dissolved air tank 800.
[0031] In one embodiment, a release device 120 inlet manual valve 310 is provided on the tank outlet line 300, and the release device 120 inlet manual valve 310 is located upstream of the release device 120.
[0032] In one embodiment, a scum scraper 130 is installed at the top of the flotation tank 110. The scum scraper 130 is used to remove the scum generated in the flotation tank 110. The scum is collected in the trough 131 on the side of the flotation tank 110.

A scum discharge valve 1321 is installed on the scum discharge pipeline 132.
[0033] In one embodiment, the system further includes an air flotation effluent pump 600, a pump inlet line 610, and a pump outlet line 620.

[0035] In one embodiment, an oily wastewater line 700 is also included, which is connected to the air flotation oil removal device 100.
[0036] It should be noted that the tank inlet line 200 is connected to the industrial air duct network, and the air comes from the industrial air duct network; the pump outlet line 620 goes to the walnut shell filter; the first chemical zone 140 introduces the first dosing line 141, which comes from the first dosing pump; the second chemical zone 150 introduces the second dosing line 151, which comes from the second dosing pump; and the oily wastewater line 700 comes from the inclined plate oil separator.
[0037] In the above-mentioned air flotation oil removal system, a tee is added before the industrial air inlet dissolved gas tank manual valve 210.

An air supply manual valve 410 is installed on the purge line 400, and the ventilation volume is controlled when the purge line 400 is in use.
[0038] When dissolved air flotation is not in use, close the industrial air inlet valve 210 to stop supplying air to the dissolved air tank 800, close the inlet valve 310 of the release device 120 to prevent air from backflowing into the dissolved air tank 800 during the purging of the release device 120, which would reduce the air volume and affect the purging effect, and open the air supply valve 410 to ventilate and purge the release device 120, cleaning up the sludge, rust, and other impurities accumulated at the outlet of the release device, thereby preventing the release device 120 from becoming clogged.
