Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an energy self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system and method, belonging to the technical field of sewage treatment. Background Art

[0002] Urban sewage treatment plants are an important part of urban infrastructure. They can effectively remove pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from sewage, and play a key role in improving water environment quality and ensuring water ecological safety. However, the traditional sewage treatment system adopts the "high energy consumption in exchange for high water quality" model, which is contrary to the concept of sustainable development in the "dual carbon" era. In particular, the biological denitrification process in the traditional sewage treatment system, which removes nitrogen through the metabolic activities of nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria, consumes a lot of energy and carbon sources, and produces a large amount of residual sludge, while emitting a large amount of greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an energy-self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system for the future.

[0003] The membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) coupled with the short-range nitrification / anaerobic ammonium oxidation (PN / A) process is an energy-efficient biological denitrification technology for sewage, which can achieve low-cost and high-efficiency denitrification of urban sewage. Among them, MABR is a new type of oxygen supply device with the significant advantages of high oxygen mass transfer efficiency and low secondary pollution. The PN / A denitrification process has overturned the traditional nitrification / denitrification process, which can greatly reduce aeration energy consumption, carbon source consumption, excess sludge production and greenhouse gas release. The combination of the two can effectively reduce the energy consumption and material consumption input in the sewage denitrification process, and is an economically feasible and environmentally friendly new biological denitrification technology. In addition, sewage contains abundant organic chemical energy. By capturing and extracting organic chemical energy and converting it into electrical energy, part of the energy consumption in the sewage treatment process can be offset, and even energy self-sufficiency can be achieved. Therefore, with the PN / A-MABR biological denitrification process as the core, supplemented by front-end carbon capture technology, an energy-self-sufficient sewage treatment system is constructed to achieve deep decontamination of mainstream and sidestream sewage, which is of great significance to promoting the synergistic efficiency of pollution reduction and carbon reduction in urban sewage treatment. Summary of the invention

[0015] Furthermore, the second hydrophobic breathable membrane is any one of a hollow fiber membrane, a plate membrane, a roll membrane, and a tubular membrane.

[0016] (Note: The structure of the mud-membrane composite PN / A-MABR is introduced above, and its specific working principle and effect are also specially introduced later) Further, the carbon capture unit is composed of a high-load activated sludge process reaction tank, and the first and second sedimentation tanks connected to the high-load activated sludge process reaction tank. The bottom of the first and second sedimentation tanks can also be connected to the high-load activated sludge process reaction tank through the first sludge return unit. The organic matter in the sewage is captured in the high-load activated sludge process reaction tank. The effluent of the high-load activated sludge process reaction tank enters the first and second sedimentation tanks for mud and water separation. The effluent of the first and second sedimentation tanks enters the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit, and a part of the concentrated sludge at the bottom can be returned to the high-load activated sludge process reaction tank through the first sludge return unit, and the remaining concentrated sludge enters the anaerobic digestion unit. Of course, the carbon capture unit of the present invention is not limited to the device using the high-load activated sludge process, and other devices that meet the carbon capture requirements can also be used as pretreatment units, such as the use of primary enhanced chemical treatment, magnetic coagulation process devices, etc.

[0017] Furthermore, the pure membrane type PN / A-MABR unit is provided with a plurality of first MABR membrane modules composed of a first hydrophobic breathable membrane; the first hydrophobic breathable membrane is any one of a hollow fiber membrane, a plate membrane, a roll membrane, and a tubular membrane, and the packing density of the membrane area is 150 to 200 m 2 / m 3 The hydraulic retention time (HRT) of the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit is 6-8h, the liquid phase DO is less than 0.05 mg / L, and the biofilm thickness on the first hydrophobic breathable membrane is 400-800 μm.

Of course, the deep denitrification unit of the present invention is not limited to the combination of the denitrification biochemical tank and the second secondary sedimentation tank, and other deep denitrification devices are also possible, such as a sulfur autotrophic denitrification biochemical tank.

[0019] Furthermore, the three-stage treatment unit consists of a coagulation sedimentation tank, a V-type filter tank and an ultraviolet disinfection channel connected in sequence, which can remove pollutants such as phosphorus, suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, etc. The removal rate of phosphorus in the influent can reach 98%, the removal rate of suspended solids can reach more than 90%, and the effluent E. coli is within the standard range.

[0020] The anaerobic digestion unit can use sludge for anaerobic fermentation (fermentation temperature is 30°C), the reaction time is 15 to 20 days, the external carbon source adsorbed by the sludge and the internal carbon source of the microorganisms are fully anaerobically decomposed and methane is produced. Furthermore, the anaerobic digestion unit can be connected to the methane collection and utilization unit, and the methane produced by anaerobic decomposition in the anaerobic digestion unit can enter the methane collection and utilization unit for efficient recovery and energy conversion. Furthermore, the anaerobic digestion unit can not only receive sludge from the carbon capture unit and the deep denitrification unit, but other substances that can be fermented to produce methane can also be used as raw materials for anaerobic digestion, such as food waste.

[0021] The sludge dewatering unit can use centrifugal, filter belt, plate and frame dewatering machines to separate the digested liquid and sludge in the digested sludge. The dewatering performance of the digested sludge is improved by adding sludge conditioners such as polyacrylamide, and the moisture content is reduced from 95% to 98% to 60% to 80%.

[0022] Furthermore, the sludge dewatering unit may be connected to a sludge disposal unit, and the sludge disposal unit may further process and dispose of the dewatered sludge cake.

[0023] Furthermore, the anaerobic digestion unit is connected to the carbon capture unit via the first excess sludge discharge unit; the anaerobic digestion unit is connected to the deep denitrification unit via the second excess sludge discharge unit. (Note: The above is an introduction to the structural composition, and the introduction to the method steps is below, so there is no lack of the step of "obtaining denitrified sewage" here)

[0024] The energy self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system is used in treating urban sewage.

[0025] A method for treating sewage using an energy self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system comprises the following steps:

[0026] (1) The sewage enters the carbon capture unit and is treated by the carbon capture unit to obtain low-carbon nitrogen-containing sewage and carbon-rich sludge; the low-carbon nitrogen-containing sewage is discharged to the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit, and the carbon-rich sludge is discharged to the anaerobic digestion unit; most of the organic matter in the sewage is captured in this unit;

[0027] (2) After the low-carbon nitrogen-containing sewage is treated by the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit, the initial denitrification sewage is obtained and discharged to the deep denitrification unit;

[0028] The low-carbon and nitrogen-containing sewage undergoes the Anammox short-process autotrophic denitrification process in the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit; ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) are attached to the surface of the first hydrophobic breathable membrane in the form of biofilms, AOB mainly grows in the aerobic layer inside the biofilm, and AnAOB mainly colonizes in the anoxic layer outside the biofilm; under the cooperation of AOB and AnAOB, most of the NH4 + be removed;

[0029] (3) After the initial denitrification wastewater is treated in the deep denitrification unit, deep denitrification wastewater and sludge are obtained. The deep denitrification wastewater is discharged to the tertiary treatment unit, and the sludge is discharged to the anaerobic digestion unit;

[0030] The deep denitrification unit uses biological denitrification technology to remove the remaining NO3 - and NH4 + Further removal plays an important role in ensuring that the effluent meets the standards;

[0031] (4) After the deep denitrification wastewater is treated in the tertiary treatment unit, the reclaimed water is obtained and reused or discharged to the corresponding receiving water body;

[0032] After denitrification and carbon removal, the sewage is deeply treated in the tertiary treatment unit (including coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, etc.) to remove pollutants such as phosphorus, suspended solids, and pathogenic bacteria. The water quality of the obtained reclaimed water meets the Class A standard of "Pollutant Discharge Standard for Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants" GB18918-2002;

[0033] (5) After the sludge is treated in the anaerobic digestion unit, a sludge-water mixture is obtained and discharged to the sludge dewatering unit;

[0034] The residual sludge discharged from the carbon capture unit and the deep denitrification unit is anaerobically digested in the anaerobic digestion unit. The external carbon source adsorbed on the sludge surface and the carbon source within the microorganisms are converted into methane in the anaerobic digestion unit. The generated methane gas can be used to generate electricity through the methane collection and utilization unit, thus realizing resource utilization while reducing the sludge.

[0035] (6) After the sludge-water mixture is treated in the sludge dehydration unit, sludge digestion supernatant and dehydrated water cake are obtained. The supernatant is discharged to the sludge membrane composite PN / A-MABR unit, and the dehydrated water cake can enter the sludge disposal unit for further treatment and disposal;

[0036] (7) The supernatant of sludge digestion is treated by the mud-membrane composite PN / A-MABR unit to obtain denitrified wastewater, which is discharged to the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit;

[0037] The supernatant of high-ammonia-nitrogen sludge digestion undergoes Anammox autotrophic denitrification in the mud-membrane composite PN / A-MABR unit; AOB is attached to the aerobic area on the surface of the second hydrophobic breathable membrane in the form of a biofilm, and AnAOB exists in the anoxic liquid phase in the form of Anammox granular sludge; AOB and AnAOB are each in a suitable ecological niche, achieving efficient and low-consumption denitrification of the supernatant of high-ammonia-nitrogen sludge digestion, and the effluent of the side-stream mud-membrane composite PN / A-MABR unit is discharged to the mainstream pure membrane PN / A unit.

[0038] The nitrogen metabolism process of the mud-film composite PN / A-MABR unit is as follows: in the MABR, there is a heterogeneous mass transfer feature, O2 enters the biofilm from the membrane cavity, and is transferred from the inner layer of the biofilm to the outer layer of the biofilm, NH4 + The AOB in the biofilm uses the O2 provided by the second hydrophobic and breathable membrane as an electron acceptor to diffuse the NH4 + Oxidized to NO2 - ; NO2 produced - Diffusion from the biofilm into the liquid phase, and combined with the residual NH4 + Under the action of AnAOB, it is converted into N2 and a small amount of NO3 - , completing the autotrophic denitrification process of nitrogen-containing sewage. AOB mainly grows in aerobic biofilms, and AnAOB mainly exists in anoxic liquid phases, which effectively alleviates the contradiction between the two in the regulation of DO ecological factors. At the same time, it can avoid the problem of limited matrix mass transfer caused by excessively thick biofilms in pure membrane PN / A-MABR and the loss of AnAOB caused by biofilm shedding. The specific working process is:

[0039] (1) Inoculate the mud membrane composite PN / A-MABR with traditional nitrification and denitrification activated sludge, control the sludge concentration to 2000-4000 mg / L, and use the sequencing batch method to carry out biofilm cultivation of hydrophobic breathable membrane; pump nitrogen-containing sewage (sludge digestion supernatant) from the inlet tank into the mud membrane composite PN / A-MABR, stop the water inlet after it is full (turn off the inlet pump), turn on the aeration pump to blow air into the second MABR membrane assembly (control the aeration pressure to 10-30 kPa), and turn on the internal reflux pump to circulate the sewage in the mud membrane composite PN / A-MABR (the flow rate of the internal reflux pump is adjusted according to the actual operating conditions); take water samples regularly to measure the NH4 + When the concentration is lower than 20 mg N / L, the aeration pump and the internal reflux pump stop working, and the supernatant is discharged to the outlet tank after the sludge settles. The above operation is repeated again to accelerate the biofilm culture of microorganisms on the surface of the hydrophobic breathable membrane.

[0040] (2) When obvious microorganisms are observed to be attached and growing on the surface of the hydrophobic breathable membrane, the sludge in the PN / A-MABR composite membrane is drained and the system starts to operate in a continuous inlet and outlet mode with an internal recirculation ratio of 3 to 10. The gas flow meter and tail gas regulating valve are adjusted to achieve low-pressure aeration (the pressure gauge displays a value of 0 to 10 kPa), and NOB suppression washing is performed to start the short-range nitrification system.

[0041] (3) NH4 in the PN / A-MABR composite mud membrane + The concentration is less than 30-50 mg N / L (it is recommended to be modified to: less than 50, preferably less than 30), and the nitrite accumulation rate [NAR; NAR = NO2 - -N / (NO2 - -N+ NO3 - -N)] reaches more than 90%, inoculating AnAOB into the mud-film composite PN / A-MABR to complete the construction of the mud-film composite PN / A-MABR process; the AnAOB is inoculated in the form of Anammox granular sludge;

[0042] (4) During the operation of the PN / A-MABR composite mud film, the gas flow meter and the tail gas regulating valve are adjusted according to the DO value on the DO meter to control the aeration pressure (0-10 kPa), so that the PN / A-MABR composite mud film biofilm is controlled to be an aerobic environment and the liquid phase is controlled to be an anoxic environment (DO < 0.05 mg / L). In this way, the ecological niche distribution of AOB and AnAOB is regulated so that AOB is mainly enriched in the aerobic biofilm and AnAOB is mainly present in the anoxic liquid phase; NH4 + First oxidized to NO2 under the action of AOB - , NO2 -and the remaining NH4 + It is converted into N2 under the action of AnAOB, and the low-energy denitrification of nitrogen-containing wastewater is achieved through the synergistic denitrification of AOB and AnAOB; the purified water is discharged from the outlet to the outlet tank.

[0043] The energy self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system and method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] (1) Using carbon capture technology to achieve carbon redirection in sewage treatment and tap into the organic chemical energy in sewage will help sewage treatment plants approach the goal of energy self-sufficiency;

[0045] (2) MABR is used to supply oxygen to the biological treatment system, with high oxygen mass transfer efficiency and low aeration energy consumption;

[0046] (3) Using the PN / A autotrophic denitrification process to denitrify mainstream and sidestream wastewater can significantly reduce aeration energy consumption, carbon source consumption, excess sludge production and greenhouse gas emissions;

[0047] (4) Coupling MABR with PN / A denitrification process can fully combine the advantages of both processes to improve the quality and efficiency of biological denitrification of sewage.

[0048] In the energy-self-sufficient urban sewage treatment system of the present invention, the mainstream urban sewage passes through the carbon capture unit, the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit, the deep denitrification unit and the tertiary treatment unit in sequence to complete the removal of pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, and then the tail water is discharged in compliance with the standards; the supernatant of the side stream sludge digestion completes the Anammox autotrophic denitrification in the mud membrane composite PN / A-MABR unit, and the effluent enters the pure membrane PN / A-MABR unit. The present invention organically combines various process units to achieve low-carbon and high-efficiency pollution removal of mainstream and side stream sewage, and has universal engineering application value. The present invention is scientifically and rationally designed and is a sewage treatment system that can be widely applied to current and future sewage treatment plants.

[0068] The carbon capture unit 1 is composed of a high-load activated sludge reaction tank 8 and a first secondary sedimentation tank 9 connected to the high-load activated sludge reaction tank 8 (the bottom of the first secondary sedimentation tank 9 is also connected to the high-load activated sludge reaction tank 8 through a first sludge return unit 10). Organic matter in urban sewage is captured in the high-load activated sludge reaction tank 8, with an MLSS of 5000 mg / L, an HRT of 20 to 30 min, and a sludge retention time (SRT) of 3 to 5 d.

In the anoxic tank 16, DO <0.05 mg / L, denitrifying bacteria use external carbon sources (such as sodium acetate) / microorganisms Internal carbon source to remove about 10% of TN in the influent; in the aerobic tank 17, DO is 1-3 mg / L, and nitrifying bacteria further oxidize residual NH4 + -N, the removal rate is 5% to 10%. A part of the mud-water mixture at the end of the aerobic tank 17 enters the anoxic tank 16 through the nitrification liquid return unit 18, and the remaining mud-water mixture enters the second secondary sedimentation tank 15 for mud-water separation.
