Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a device and method for realizing deep denitrification and sludge reduction by continuous flow A / O in-situ hydrolysis acidification coupled with short-cut denitrification anaerobic ammonia oxidation, and belongs to the technical field of biological wastewater treatment, which is widely applicable to municipal wastewater treatment plants with low COD / N. BACKGROUND

[0002] In most areas of China, the organic matter concentration of the influent in municipal wastewater treatment is generally low, which cannot meet the demand for denitrification. Therefore, in the face of increasingly stringent wastewater discharge standards, wastewater treatment plants have to add additional carbon sources to complete the denitrification requirement. On the one hand, this greatly increases the operating cost of the wastewater treatment plant; and the addition of a large amount of carbon source also causes an increase in the production of excess sludge, and the difficulty and cost of sludge treatment and disposal also increase.

[0003] As an autotrophic denitrification technology, anaerobic ammonia oxidation can directly utilize nitrite to oxidize ammonia nitrogen to nitrogen, without the need for additional carbon source, thereby greatly saving aeration energy consumption and reducing sludge production. Short-cut denitrification reduces nitrate to nitrite, which can provide an important substrate for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process. Compared with short-cut nitrification, this technology is more stable and easy to control, and is particularly suitable for low COD / N municipal wastewater treatment. Therefore, the application of short-cut denitrification anaerobic ammonia oxidation technology to wastewater treatment plants not only eliminates the dependence on carbon source, but also reduces sludge production.

[0004] The treatment and disposal of excess sludge has become a key problem that cannot be ignored in the operation of wastewater treatment plants, and wastewater treatment generally exists the phenomenon of "paying more attention to water and less attention to sludge". At present, the treatment of sludge mostly needs additional anaerobic digestion facilities, which not only increases the investment and operating cost, but also many wastewater treatment plants do not reserve land, which makes it difficult to implement. If the excess sludge can be hydrolyzed and acidified in-situ in the biochemical tank, not only the sludge treatment problem can be solved, but also carbon source can be provided for the denitrification process, which can solve the problems of denitrification and sludge treatment at the same time.

[0005] In summary, the present method combines in-situ hydrolysis acidification with short-cut denitrification anaerobic ammonia oxidation in the continuous flow treatment system widely used in wastewater treatment plants, in order to realize deep denitrification and sludge reduction of low COD / N municipal wastewater. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims to provide a device and method for realizing deep denitrification and sludge reduction by continuous flow A / O in-situ hydrolysis acidification coupled with short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation. The specific principle is as follows: wastewater and residual sludge enter an anoxic biochemical tank according to a certain proportion, and backflow sludge and backflow nitrated liquid also enter at the same time. In the anoxic biochemical tank, fermenting functional bacteria can hydrolyze and acidify the difficult-to-biodegrade organic matter in raw water and residual sludge, and convert them into small-molecule biodegradable organic matter, thereby realizing sludge reduction while producing carbon source. Short-cut denitrification bacteria utilize the biodegradable organic matter in raw water and produced in the hydrolysis acidification process to perform short-cut denitrification to convert nitrate into nitrite. Anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria on the biofilm utilize the nitrite produced in the short-cut denitrification process to directly oxidize the ammonia nitrogen in raw water and produced in the hydrolysis acidification process into nitrogen. The whole process realizes on-site production and use of carbon source and nitrite, and realizes the synergistic effect of fermenting functional bacteria, short-cut denitrification bacteria and anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria. The sludge-water mixture is separated in a sedimentation tank, and the supernatant enters a subsequent pure biofilm aerobic biochemical tank to complete nitrification of residual ammonia nitrogen and further removal of residual organic matter. The aerobic biochemical tank adopts a pure biofilm system, which can advantageously enrich nitrifying bacteria and has high nitrification efficiency.

The sludge-water mixture sequentially passes through the subsequent compartments of the anoxic biochemical tank (5) and then enters the sedimentation tank (8) for sludge-water separation, the supernatant enters the intermediate water tank (10) and then enters the aerobic biochemical tank (12) through a secondary lifting pump (11), sequentially flows through the subsequent compartments of the aerobic biochemical tank (12) and then flows out from the effluent pipe.
