Benefits of technology

9. In consideration of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for treating an organic waste water which are capable of utilizing compact equipment by reducing the quantity of sludge to be treated.
15. Furthermore, the solubilizing treatment for the sludge is carried out using heat, and under the conditions wherein a sludge solubilization enzyme is produced and secreted from the microorganisms, and solubilization is promoted by the enzyme. The time taken for the solubilizing treatment is determined based on a hydraulic residence time (hereinafter referred to as an "HRT") of treated sludge in the solubilizing treatment device. Consequently, it is possible to avoid a lengthy solubilizing reaction. Therefore, even if the size of the solubilizing tank is reduced, the solubilizing treatment can be performed efficiently.

Problems solved by technology

Such a treatment is not preferred because it requires a large quantity of labor, time, and expense.
However, these methods require a large site area for increasing the residence time.
In the extended aeration method, the sludge is dispersed when a load is reduced, thereby interfering with solid-liquid separation.
In the fixed bed oxidation method, fouling of the sludge results when the load is increased.
Therefore, these methods are not desirable.
However, this method requires operators well-skilled in handling the ozone oxidation column, and has the problem of treating residual ozone.
In addition, the decomposition rate of the excess sludge is not sufficient in the ozone oxidation column.
Furthermore, a large quantity of treated sludge solubilized in the solubilizing treatment device is returned to the aeration tank.
Consequently, the quality of treated water at times is reduced.
It should take a long time to solubilize a large quantity of sludge by using a solubilizing tank of a large capacity.
Thus, the treatment apparatus has a disadvantage that the cost of heating, the maintenance cost, and the like are increased.

(1) Example 1

55. FIG. 1 is a structural diagram schematically showing an apparatus for treating an organic waste water which is suitable for executing a method of the present invention for treating an organic waste water.

56. As shown in FIG. 1, original waste water A stored in organic waste water reservoir I is introduced into a biological treatment tank 3 through a route 2. The original waste water A, which is organic waste water, is subjected to an aerobic biological treatment in biological treatment tank 3. The aerobic biological treatment represents that an organic matter is decomposed into an inorganic matter, such as carbon dioxide or water, by biological oxidation. An aerobic microorganism used is gram-negative or gram-positive bacillus, for example, the Pseudomonas species and the Bacillus species, which have been used in an activated sludge method for sewage treatment. These inoculation bacteria are obtained from a usual sewage treatment plant. In this case, an operation is...

Change in Enzyme Production by Microorganism Corresponding to a Residence Time

71. A yeast-peptone medium, manufactured by DIFCO Co., Ltd., (4 g of yeast extract, 8 g of peptone and 1 liter of water, pH 6.8) was put into a reactor made of glass, and bacillus stearothermophilus SPT 2-1 [FERM P-15395], which was derived from an excess sludge of a sewage treatment plant and preincubated, was raised and concussively incubated at a temperature of 65.degree. C. First, an HRT was set to 36 hours while an incubation solution is continuously supplied. In order to shorten the HRT to a predetermined time, while the quantity of organic matter to be introduced is kept constant, an appropriate quantity of dilution water was added for incubation. A supernatant solution was sampled at each residence time, and each protease activity was measured as follows. More specifically, an equivalent sample was added to 0.7 ml of a solution (5 mg / ml) obtained by suspending azocoal (trade name, manufactured by S...

Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating an organic waste water which are capable of utilizing compact equipment by reducing the quantity of a sludge to be treated. Organic waste water (A) is subjected to an aerobic biological treatment in a biological treatment tank (3). Then, solution (B) obtained by the treatment in the biological treatment tank (3) is solid-liquid separated into treated water (C) and sludge (D) in precipitation tank (5). A portion of the sludge (D) separated in the precipitation tank (5) is returned to the biological treatment tank (3) through a route (6). A portion (E) of the sludge separated in the precipitation tank (5) is concentrated by a concentration device (8). Thereafter, the concentrated sludge (E) is solubilized by thermophilic bacteria in a solubilizing tank (10).
