Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular to an industrial circulating aquaculture water treatment system based on electrochemical treatment. Background Art

[0002] Factory-based recirculating aquaculture is not affected by seasons and breaks away from the constraints of the natural environment in traditional aquaculture. It can achieve high-density farming and shorten the farming cycle. It also has the characteristics of saving water and land and ensuring the food safety of aquatic products (no antibiotics). It is the main development model of the aquaculture industry in the future.

[0003] The quality of the water environment of factory-scale circulating aquaculture depends on the purification capacity of the water treatment system. At present, the core of 99% of water treatment systems at home and abroad is biological filtration, relying on biofilm to purify ammonia nitrogen, nitrite and other substances harmful to fish. For example, the announcement number is CN106035190B, and the name is a dual-channel water treatment method for seawater factory-scale circulating water system, which belongs to the field of fishery facilities and equipment technology. It is based on the currently commonly used factory-scale circulating aquaculture system biofilm method for water treatment, and adds a shellfish algae ecological filtration channel, using the principle of harmonious symbiosis of multi-trophic marine organisms such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, algae, and ginseng, through the rapid growth and renewable characteristics of large seaweed, and the ability of shellfish to filter residual bait, feces and other particulate organic matter in the aquaculture water. However, biological filtration also has many problems: the biological fillers in the biological filtration pool need to be nitrifying bacteria biofilmed in advance, especially for marine aquaculture, the biofilm growth time is very long, as short as one month, and as long as more than 2 months, which will lead to delays in production plans and affect the normal production cycle and output; the construction of biological filtration pools requires a large area, about 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the aquaculture area, one is the high civil engineering cost; the other is the large area occupied, which will greatly reduce the production area and reduce the output; the biological filter is the core of the entire circulating water treatment system, once the water quality indicators such as pH value, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen If problems occur, the nitrifying bacteria purification system of the biological filter will be damaged or even collapse, and the entire breeding system will be paralyzed and all the breeding species will face death. At present, the design and discharge of sewage in most biological filter pools are defective, and the aging biofilm shedding is not handled in time. Over time, it will greatly affect the purification efficiency of the biological filter, and also affect the quality of aquaculture, such as increasing the earthy smell of fish, which seriously affects the taste of fish. The nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter degrade ammonia nitrogen into nitrite and nitrate. During the degradation process, it is easy to cause excessive nitrite, which greatly increases the risk of fish poisoning. Summary of the invention
