[0045] Specifically, one end of the water suction pipe 115 is detachably connected with the water inlet pipe 116 through the water distribution bucket 101, the water inlet pump 102 is installed with the main reactor 117 through the water inlet pipe 116, one end of the gas-liquid lifting pipe 110 located inside the main reactor 117 is installed with the gas collection hood 108, a filter screen is arranged on the water suction pipe 115, the biogas outlet 113 is detachably installed on the side of the gas-liquid separation chamber 114 away from the gas-liquid lifting pipe 110, the backflow pipe 112 is installed on the side of the gas-liquid separation chamber 114 close to the gas-liquid lifting pipe 110, one end of the backflow pipe 112 away from the gas-liquid separation chamber 114 is connected with the water inlet pipe 116, one end of the external circulation pipe 109 is installed on one side of the main reactor 117, and the other end of the external circulation pipe 109 is connected with the water inlet pipe 116.
[0046] Further, the main reactor 117 is made of cylindrical organic glass, with an inner diameter of 24 cm, a height of 192 cm, an effective volume of 62 L, and is equipped with ORP, pH online monitoring and temperature control devices, and the volume of the water distribution bucket 101 is 500 L.
[0047] Further, the water distribution bucket 101 provides a simulated wastewater for preparing the device to run, the wastewater in the water distribution bucket is pumped into the bottom of the reactor 117 by the water inlet pump 102, the water inlet of the reactor is discharged from the upper water outlet 111 by entering from the bottom; the wastewater and sludge are contacted at the bottom of the reactor 117, and the organic matter in the wastewater is removed by anaerobic digestion at the bottom of the reactor.
[0048] Anaerobic digestion will produce a large amount of gas, gas and water flow upward; gas upward movement in the process of being collected by the gas hood 108, the gas collected after the same reactor on the top of the biogas outlet 113 to exclude. For ease of detection of the internal conditions of the reactor, the reactor is equipped with a sufficient amount of sampling port 104, 105, 106, 107, to ensure that the reactor can be taken to each position of the water sample.
[0049] The reactor is equipped with an external circulation pump 103, in the initial stage of the reactor start due to the small amount of gas production reactor mass transfer effect is poor, can open the external circulation pump 103 to increase the reactor mass transfer effect.
[0050] Specifically, the start-up phase, sludge is added to two parallel reactors, sludge inoculation amount MLSS = 20 g·L -1 , one of the reactors added composite agents, the amount of 5% of the sludge dry weight, and the use of external circulation pump to mix the agent and sludge evenly; another reactor as a blank control without adding agents.
[0051] By controlling the water bucket 101 in the water C:N:P is 300:5:1, in which the carbon source is provided by glucose, sodium acetate and milk powder, nitrogen source is provided by urea, phosphorus source is provided by dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, water temperature is 30 ℃; reactor start-up initial COD is 6000 mg·L -1 , the pH is adjusted to 6.5-8.0 by sodium carbonate.
[0052] In the initial stage of start-up, the reactor is subjected to smothering exposure to activate microorganisms, during which the external circulation pump is opened twice a day, each time for 0.5 h, to ensure sufficient mass transfer effect, until the COD removal rate reaches 50% after the start of continuous water.
[0053] The initial reactor volume load is 3 kg·(m 3 ·d) -1 , the continuous water COD concentration is 3000 mg·L -1 , when the reactor COD removal rate reaches 70%, the reactor volume load is increased by 50% by shortening the hydraulic retention time, until the design load (composite agent reactor COD removal rate is stable to reach more than 90% load) is reached.
[0054] The seed sludge of the experiment is taken from the residual sludge after extrusion of a secondary sedimentation tank of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, with a moisture content of 82%, VSS / TSS of 0.38, washed by a sieve with a pore size of 0.58 mm, inoculated with flocculent sludge with a particle size of less than 0.58 mm, and the water used in the experiment is artificial simulated wastewater, the carbon source of the simulated wastewater is provided by glucose, sodium acetate and milk powder, the nitrogen source is provided by urea, and the phosphorus source is provided by dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, the COD:N:P ratio of the simulated wastewater is 300:5:1, the initial concentration of the influent COD is 6000 mg·L-1, and the pH is adjusted by sodium carbonate.
[0055] The results are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the COD removal rate of the reactor with the addition of the composite medicament stably reaches more than 90% in 40 days, which is 12 days faster than the control group.
[0056] At the same time, further analysis shows that with the start-up process of the reactor, the gas production of both reactors shows an upward trend, and when the design load of 23.7 kg·(m 3 ·d) -1 ) is reached, the upward trend of the gas production of the reactor with the addition of the medicament is significantly accelerated, while the control is relatively flat.
[0057] During the entire start-up process, the COD removal rate and the gas production of the reactor with the addition of the medicament are higher than those of the control. The COD removal rate and the gas production of the reactor with the addition of the medicament reach 96% and 0.49 m 3 ·(kgCOD·d) -1 , respectively.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] Under the conditions of Example 1, the particle size distribution of the granular sludge and the settling performance of the granular sludge are analyzed, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 .
[0060] It can be seen that the proportion of granular sludge in different particle size ranges in the reactor with the addition of the medicament is higher than that in the reactor without the addition of the medicament, indicating that the granulation degree of the reactor with the addition of the medicament is higher.
[0061] The settling performance of the granular sludge in the blank control reactor at the completion of the start-up shows that the settling performance of the reactor with the addition of the medicament is better.
[0062] In summary, the present application discloses a composite medicament applied in an upflow anaerobic sludge bed, which controls the reaction conditions by adding the composite medicament, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid start-up and stable operation of the reactor, while enhancing the microbial activity, shortening the start-up time of the reactor, and facilitating operation.
