Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a wastewater treatment and resource recovery control system and its control method, and more particularly to a control system and control method for improving the carbon capture efficiency of a contact stabilization process. Background Technology
[0002] For a long time, wastewater treatment has mainly relied on the aerobic "adsorption-degradation" process of microorganisms to mineralize and decompose organic pollutants. This process is energy-intensive, produces large amounts of carbon, and has a low resource and energy recovery rate. In fact, wastewater is an overlooked energy carrier. For typical domestic wastewater with a COD concentration of 500 mg / L, the organic chemical energy contained can reach 1.93 kWh / m³. 3 If this chemical energy is recovered and utilized, low-carbon operation and even energy self-sufficiency of sewage treatment plants can be achieved. The key to achieving this goal is to recover carbon resources from sewage.
[0003] Enriching and separating organic matter from wastewater is a prerequisite for carbon resource recovery and utilization. Among these technologies, the efficient contact stabilization process is an emerging wastewater carbon capture technology. It utilizes the "famine-feast" cycle of activated sludge microorganisms to capture, flocculate, adsorb, and store carbon sources in wastewater, transferring them to the sludge for separation and removal. Numerous studies have shown that bioflocculation performance is a key factor influencing the rapid capture, adsorption, storage, and separation of different forms of organic matter in wastewater. Therefore, effective bioflocculation management and control are essential for improving carbon capture efficiency.
[0004] The influent to urban wastewater treatment plants in my country typically exhibits highly fluctuating organic matter content and composition. Current contact stabilization processes primarily employ SRT-based operation control methods with constant SRT or constant MLSS, which are unable to adapt to variations in water quality and environmental conditions. This results in significant fluctuations in process biomass and biological activity, poor sludge bioflocculation performance, and inadequate rapid settling and separation of sludge after COD entrainment, leading to low and unstable organic matter capture efficiency in the system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new control system and method to improve the carbon capture efficiency and operational stability of contact oxidation processes under fluctuating water quality and environmental conditions, thus ensuring the efficient recovery and utilization of carbon resources from wastewater. Summary of the Invention

The total effective volume of the contact stabilization process unit was 220L, and the water temperature during operation was 12-24℃. The operating effect of the contact stabilization process unit and the efficiency of organic matter transfer and capture in the raw water were investigated under the control system and method of this invention and under the constant SRT control method. The results are shown in Table 1.

The OUR detection cycle Δt1 was set to 20 minutes, and the detection cycles Δt2 for the electromagnetic flowmeter, MLSS, and SS were set to 5 minutes. During operation, OUR... contactor and OUR stabilizer The measured values were 24.15–44.31 mg O2 / Lh and 28.66–49.80 mg O2 / Lh, respectively. Ratio The concentrations ranged from 0.56 to 1.15 mg / L, and the MLSS ranged from 402.09 to 815.41 mg / L. The SRT ranged from 0.56 to 1.22 during this operating period.
[0120] (2) Using constant SRT control method
[0121] A constant SRT-based control method was adopted, which controls the sludge discharge rate of the contact stabilization process unit by fixing the operating SRT value. The SRT was controlled between 0.3 and 1.2 days, and the MLSS was between 53 and 1470 mg / L during operation.
[0122] Compared with the constant SRT control method, after operating the control system and method of the present invention, the sludge biological activity VSS / SS of the contact stabilization process unit increased from 0.54-0.67 to 0.63-0.78, an average increase of 40%, and the content of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of microorganisms in the contact zone increased from 230-471 mg COD / VSS to 416-650 mg COD / VSS, an average increase of 43%.
[0123] The above comparisons demonstrate that, by adopting the control system and method of this invention, the bioflocculation activity of the biomass microorganisms in the contact stabilization process unit is enhanced, the extracellular polymer content of the microorganisms is increased, and the capture, adsorption, storage, and separation performance of dissolved, particulate, and colloidal organic matter in wastewater is improved. Ultimately, the ineffective mineralization removal rate of organic matter is reduced from 12%–40% to 7%–25%, an average reduction of 46%, and the capture and transfer rate of organic matter is increased from 25%–65% to 43%–74%, an average increase of 39%. This significantly improves the process's capture efficiency of organic matter in raw water, thereby facilitating the subsequent energy utilization of sludge and enhancing the level of energy utilization.
