Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biological sewage treatment, and in particular relates to a device and method for deep denitrification of sewage. Background Art

[0002] As society progresses and people's living standards improve, the amount of sewage generated also increases. When elements like nitrogen and phosphorus in sewage enter water bodies, they can cause water pollution problems like eutrophication. Therefore, sewage treatment is crucial, and the sewage treatment and discharge standards currently formulated by the state are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Because domestic sewage has a low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, the organic matter in the raw water is insufficient for denitrification. Therefore, the traditional biological wastewater treatment processes used by sewage treatment plants require a large amount of carbon source and energy to remove pollutants from the wastewater. This significantly increases treatment costs for sewage treatment plants and also produces a large amount of excess sludge, further increasing the burden on wastewater treatment plants to dispose of the excess sludge.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to the field of sewage treatment to research and develop a sewage treatment method that can achieve deep denitrification without the need for an external carbon source and reduce the production of residual sludge. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention is based on the inventors' discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems: Currently, most solutions to address the low C / N ratio in domestic sewage involve adding carbon sources or employing complex process combinations, which undoubtedly increase sewage treatment costs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop treatment methods and process devices with simple process combinations to reduce the cost of treating low C / N ratio sewage.

[0006] The present invention aims to address, at least to a certain extent, one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, embodiments of the present invention provide a device for deep denitrification of wastewater. This device, which does not require an external carbon source, can address the problem of insufficient carbon sources in wastewater, achieving deep denitrification while saving energy and fully utilizing the carbon source in the raw water. Furthermore, by cultivating granular sludge in a UASB reactor equipped with a dynamic membrane, the dynamic membrane can effectively retain the granular sludge. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the granular sludge's ease of sedimentation, the degree and frequency of membrane fouling can be reduced, the number of membrane cleanings can be reduced, and the service life of the dynamic membrane can be extended.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in the UASB reactor, the granular sludge is combined with the dynamic membrane, which can effectively cope with the impact load of the influent pollutants. Since the granular sludge itself is easy to settle, the possibility and frequency of dynamic membrane pollution can be reduced, and the number of membrane cleanings can also be reduced, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the device; 4. In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a second water inlet on the UASB reactor, the UASB reactor is divided into an anaerobic zone and an anoxic zone, so that the UASB reactor has the dual functions of removing organic matter and denitrification, which is different from the three-stage AOA or two-stage OA process, it can fully and effectively utilize the carbon source in the raw water, achieve deep denitrification, and reduce the reaction volume and floor space; 5.

The anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria use the NO2 produced by the SBR aerobic reactor 8 sent through the second water inlet 32 ​​to produce - -N, remove NH4 from sewage water + -N, while endogenous denitrifying bacteria can remove NO3 produced by anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria --N; After that, the muddy water is further separated by the dynamic membrane 33, and the effluent of the UASB reactor 3 enters the SBR reactor 8 through the intermediate water tank 5 and the second water inlet pump 7. In the SBR aerobic reactor 8, low-oxygen aeration is performed by the aeration pump 11 to control the dissolved oxygen concentration to 0.6 mg / L. Under the action of nitrifying bacteria, NH4 + -N is oxidized to NO2 - -N, the effluent from the SBR aerobic reactor 8 flows into the effluent bucket 6, a portion of the effluent enters the anoxic zone of the UASB reactor 3 from the second water inlet 32 ​​to undergo anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction and endogenous denitrification reaction, and the other portion of the effluent is discharged from the system as the final effluent, and the ratio of the water flow rate of the second water inlet 32 ​​to the water flow rate of the first water inlet 31 is controlled to be approximately 70%.

[0063] After the treatment in this embodiment, the system stabilized for 40 days, and the COD in the effluent of reactor 8 was 22-25 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.2-0.8mg / L, NO2 - -N is 4.9-5.6mg / L, NO3 - -N is 0.2-0.5mg / L, TN≤8mg / L.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] The method is the same as that of Example 1, except that the second water inlet 32 ​​of the UASB reactor 3 is located at a different position, H1=2 / 3H.

[0066] After the treatment in this embodiment, the system was stable for 40 days, and the COD of the effluent of reactor 8 was 25-31 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.5-1.2mg / L, NO2 - -N is 5.5-6.5mg / L, NO3 - -N is 0.5-1.5mg / L, TN≤10mg / L.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] The method is the same as that of Example 1, except that the dissolved oxygen concentration in the SBR reactor 8 in steps (1) and (3) is controlled at 0.8 mg / L.

[0069] After the treatment in this embodiment, the system was stable for 40 days, and the COD of the effluent of reactor 8 was 25-29 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.1-0.6mg / L, NO2 - -N is 4.5-5.5mg / L, NO3 - -N is 0.5-1.5mg / L, TN≤10mg / L.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] The method is the same as that of Example 1, except that the C / N ratio of the test water prepared in step (3) is 2.2-2.3, wherein the COD is 100-120 mg / L, and the NH4 + -N is 45-55 mg / L.

[0072] After the treatment in this embodiment, the system stabilized for 40 days, and the COD in the effluent of reactor 8 was 20-25 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.5-1.5mg / L, NO2 - -N is 4.2-5.5mg / L, NO3 - -N is 0.5-1.3mg / L, TN≤9mg / L.

[0073] Comparative Example 1

[0074] The method is the same as that of Example 1, except that the second water inlet is removed from the UASB reactor 3 , that is, the effluent from the SBR aerobic reactor 8 is not introduced into the UASB reactor 3 .

[0075] After the treatment of comparative example 1, the system was stable for 40 days, and the COD of the effluent of reactor 8 was 25-28 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.8-1.1mg / L, NO2 - -N is about 21-23 mg / L, NO3 - -N is 3.5-5mg / L, TN is about 25mg / L or more. The UASB reactor lacks NO2 - -N substrate, cannot carry out anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction, can only remove organic matter, and cannot carry out denitrification; while the SBR process only sets the aerobic time, can only carry out nitrification reaction, and cannot achieve deep denitrification.

[0076] Comparative Example 2

[0077] The method was identical to that of Example 1, except that the order of installation of the UASB reactor 3 and the SBR aerobic reactor 8 was adjusted. The wastewater first entered the SBR aerobic reactor 8 for short-cut nitrification, then entered the UASB reactor 3 through the first water inlet at the bottom of the UASB reactor 3. The second water inlet of the UASB reactor 3 was omitted. The effluent from the UASB reactor 3 was discharged from the system as the final system effluent.

[0078] After the treatment of comparative example 1, the system was stable for 40 days, and the COD of the effluent of reactor 8 was 25-28 mg / L, and NH4 + -N is 0.6-1.2mg / L, NO2- -N is 20-25mg / L, NO3 - -N is 1.5-3.0mg / L, TN is about 22mg / L or more. The raw water first enters the SBR reactor, aeration removes organic matter, and short-term nitrification produces NO2 - -N, and then the effluent enters the UASB reactor. Due to the low ammonia nitrogen concentration, anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction cannot be carried out. In addition, due to the lack of organic matter, denitrification cannot be carried out. The UASB loses its function and is neither used to remove organic matter nor to achieve deep denitrification.
