Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] It involves the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically the collection and detection of greenhouse gases in aeration tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Wastewater treatment plants are a vital component of modern urban infrastructure, and their operation is directly related to environmental protection and public health. However, these facilities emit large amounts of greenhouse gases during their biochemical treatment processes, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Methane has a warming potential dozens of times higher than carbon dioxide; therefore, the emissions from wastewater treatment plants are particularly important to consider in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
[0003] Biological treatment structures in wastewater treatment plants, such as aeration tanks, are often critical points for greenhouse gas emissions. However, due to the large surface area and depth of the wastewater contained in aeration tanks, significant differences exist in the mass transfer between wastewater, sludge, and greenhouse gases at different locations, leading to exceptionally complex and variable conditions for greenhouse gas release. Currently, greenhouse gas emission detection typically relies on monitoring devices installed at fixed locations on the water surface. However, this method has significant limitations, including large detection errors and a lack of applicability of data processing results to the entire tank.
[0004] In summary, existing detection devices suffer from the following main problems due to fixed detection locations, lack of spatial location information for gas samples, and insufficient representativeness of greenhouse gases: 1. Greenhouse gas collection and detection equipment is bulky, making it inconvenient to move and position within structures such as aeration tanks, resulting in poor representativeness of the detection data; 2. Existing technologies have low accuracy in greenhouse gas detection, making it difficult to accurately assess greenhouse gas emissions from aeration tanks; 3. Existing methods for greenhouse gas collection and detection rarely consider the differences in wastewater at different depths and locations within the corridor, limiting the reference value of the detection results.

[0051] The air pump 3 is used to extract the gas inside the water inlet cylinder 9;
[0052] Gas detection box 2, used for gas detection;
[0053] The water inlet inner cylinder 9 is cylindrical, and the area between the inner and outer side walls of the cylinder serves as a receiving area.
[0054] The accommodating area is evenly divided into at least four even-numbered independent compartments;
[0055] Each of the compartments has through holes near its bottom and top surfaces, which serve as a lower water inlet 5 and an upper air outlet 4.
[0056] The air pump is connected to the gas detection box 2 via a hollow hose 26.
[0057] Implementation Method 2: This implementation method further defines the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for an aeration tank provided in Implementation Method 1. The device has 8 independent compartments, which are separated by grid plates 18.
[0058] Implementation Method 3: This implementation method further defines the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for an aeration tank provided in Implementation Method 2. The device also includes a linkage structure, which includes:
[0059] A three-way pipe is used to connect the two opposing upper air outlets 4, and the other passage of the three-way pipe serves as a gas sampling pipe 13 connected to the air pump 3.
[0060] The three-way pipe can rotate along the axis of the water inlet inner cylinder 9;
[0061] The lower T-shaped transmission rod is coaxially connected to the three-way pipe, and both ends are fixed on the inner wall of the rotating drum. The outer diameter of the rotating drum is the same as the inner diameter of the cylinder. The rotating drum is provided with corresponding through holes. The position of the through holes corresponds to the position of the lower water inlet 5, and the axis of the through holes is 45 degrees away from the axis of the upper air outlet 4 connected to the three-way pipe.
[0062] Implementation Method 4: This implementation method further defines the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for an aeration tank provided in Implementation Method 3, wherein the three-way pipeline is driven to rotate by a stepper motor.
[0063] Implementation Method 5: This implementation method further defines the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for an aeration tank provided in Implementation Method 1, and also includes a floating ring 6, which is disposed on the outer wall of the device and is used to adjust the volume of water discharged by the device.

[0065] Implementation Method Seven: This implementation method further defines the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for an aeration tank provided in Implementation Method One.

[0070] The steps for fitting greenhouse gas release potential-pressure curves based on release potential under different pressures.
[0071] Compared with the prior art, the innovations of this invention are as follows:
[0072] 1. New chamber structure: The lower part of the chamber is closed, and water is introduced through the inlet hole for indirect sampling and testing, which can reduce the disturbance of factors such as water flow and wind changes in the aeration tank. At the same time, the chamber is evenly divided into eight compartments, and testing can be carried out in four working compartments in sequence.
[0073] 2. Linked Sampling Mode: By controlling the seven linkage rods with a rotary motor to achieve staggered hole alignment, it is possible to link sampling and testing, thereby enabling sequential and continuous water sampling and gas detection in two symmetrical compartments of the eight-compartment system. This ensures the balance of the tank while also allowing for the detection of water samples at different depths.
[0074] 3. Movement and positioning methods: The floating ring 6 and the inlet counterweight enable the box to float up and down at a single detection point; the sliding track 14 and rope traction enable the box to move to multiple points in the aeration tank corridor, and the positioner 24 enables precise positioning, thus making the data processing results more accurate and representative.
[0075] 4. Detection method: Based on the real-time detection and analysis of data using infrared carbon dioxide gas sensors, laser-based nitrous oxide gas sensors, and laser-based methane gas sensors, the negative pressure suction method can change the pressure difference between the chamber environment and the outside environment, accelerating the escape of greenhouse gases from the water.
[0076] 5. Data processing method: A scatter plot of the trend of gas concentration-negative pressure value was generated, and regression fitting was used to obtain the variation law of greenhouse gas concentration and negative pressure value; a trend curve and trend equation of emission amount-negative pressure value were generated to evaluate the greenhouse gas emission of aeration tank under different pressure conditions.
[0077] Implementation Method Nine: This implementation method provides a computer storage medium for storing a computer program. When the computer program is read by the computer, the computer executes the method provided in Implementation Method Five.
[0078] Implementation Method 10: This implementation method provides a computer, including a processor and a storage medium. When the processor reads a computer program stored in the storage medium, the computer executes the method provided in Implementation Method 5.
[0079] Implementation Method Eleven: This implementation method provides a specific example to describe the above implementation method in detail, as follows:
[0080] The configuration of the scheme is as follows:
[0081] The gas detection chamber 2 is a hollow chamber, internally equipped with a gas sensor, a temperature and pressure integrated sensor 22, and a positioner 24. Specifically, the carbon dioxide gas concentration is detected by an infrared gas sensor, the nitrous oxide gas concentration by a laser-type nitrous oxide gas sensor, and the methane gas concentration by a laser-type methane gas sensor. Correspondingly, the pressure change value and temperature are detected and fed back by the temperature and pressure integrated sensor 22; the positioner 24 can verify the position of the chamber at a single point.
[0082] Baffle 15: Used to prevent water sample from being submerged up to the position of the upper air outlet 4.
[0083] Flow meter: measures the flow rate of gas in the chamber during the measurement and detection cycle.
[0084] To ensure that the cylindrical tank achieves a communicating vessel state (i.e., the internal and external liquid levels are equal) in water and does not sink due to water ingress, the tank must meet the following two conditions when tested after being submerged in water:
[0085] 1. The water level inside the tank needs to be higher than the opening so that water can enter and be level with the external water surface.
[0086] 2. Even after water enters the tank, the buoyancy of the tank is still sufficient to support its weight and prevent it from sinking.
[0087] Ensure the immersion depth is greater than h:
[0088] Let the immersion depth be h1 (h ≤ h1 ≤ maximum liquid level in the tank), then the buoyancy F1 can be expressed as:
[0089] F1=ρ*A*d*g+F 浮动圈6
[0090] When the outer wall radius of the box is r1 and the inner wall radius is r2
[0091] A = (r1 - r2)^2
[0092] Let the net weight of the main body of the box (without water) be m1, and the weight of the counterweight base plate be 25 m2.
[0093] The weight G1 of the box can be expressed as:
[0094] G1 = m1*g + m2*g,
[0095] To achieve a immersion depth greater than h, the buoyancy force must be greater than or equal to the weight, i.e.:
[0096] ρ*A*h1*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6 ≥m1*g+m2*g,
[0097] Ensure sufficient buoyancy to support the tank and its weight after water ingress:
[0098] When water enters the tank, its mass increases. Let the mass of the water entering be m3, then the volume of the water entering is v2 = m3 / ρ. After the water enters, the total mass of the tank is M = (m1 + m2 + m3), and the depth of the liquid surface in the tank at this point is h3. The buoyancy F2 can be expressed as:
[0099] F2=ρ*A*(h3)*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6,
[0100] The total weight G2 of the box can be expressed as:
[0101] G2 = (m1 + m2 + m3) * g,
[0102] To ensure sufficient buoyancy to support the tank and its weight after water ingress, the following conditions must be met:
[0103] ρ*A*(h3)*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6 ≥(m1+m2+m3)*g,
[0104] Combining the two conditions above, we can obtain the following inequality:
[0105] When all working compartments are full of water, the tank will not sink. Assume the total mass of the tank and counterweight base plate is M, and the maximum immersion depth is H. The following conditions must be met:
[0106] ρ*A*H*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6全充满+ F 配重底板25 ≥Mg,
[0107] In summary:
[0108] ρ*A*h1*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6部分充满 ≥m1*g+m2*g,
[0109] ρ*A*(h3)*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6部分充满 ≥(m1+m2+m3)*g,
[0110] ρ*A*H*g+ρ*v1*g+F 浮动圈6全充满+ F 配重底板25 ≥Mg.
[0111] When using,
[0112] 1. Before conducting any testing, the following steps must be performed to ensure everything is in order:
[0113] 2. Ensure that the water inlet hole on the inner water inlet cylinder 9 is aligned.
[0114] 3. Place the water inlet inner cylinder 9 at the beginning of the corridor to be tested.
[0115] 4. Control the air nozzle 11 to release the gas inside the floating ring 6, so that it is in a semi-filled state.
[0116] 5. Pull one end of the rope attached to the pull ring 10 to move the greenhouse gas collection and detection device in the aeration tank.
[0117] 6. Use positioner 24 to position the device at the first test point.
[0118] 7. Secure the rope by tying the other end to the anchor post.
[0119] After fixing, proceed with the following steps:
[0120] 8. Lower the device so that the water inlet hole of the inner water inlet cylinder 9 is aligned with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the working section, and start water intake.
[0121] 9. Start the vacuum pump 3 to extract the gas, and test the gas concentration under different negative pressures.
[0122] 10. Record the concentrations of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane gases and their changes.
[0123] 11. Measure pressure changes and temperature, as well as gas extraction flow rate, using sensors.
[0124] Once the gas concentration in working compartment (1) has stabilized, perform the following steps:
[0125] 12. The first pulse signal command is transmitted to drive the device to perform a second fixed-angle rotation.
[0126] 13. Align the water inlet hole of the inner cylinder 9 with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the working compartment (2) and start water intake.
[0127] 14. Continue gas extraction and testing.
[0128] Once the gas concentration in working compartment (2) has stabilized, perform the following steps:
[0129] 15. A second pulse signal command is sent to drive the device to perform a third fixed-angle rotation.
[0130] 16. Align the water inlet hole of the inner cylinder 9 with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the working section (3) and start water intake.
[0131] 17. Continue gas extraction and testing, following the same principle.
[0132] 18. Repeat the above steps until the periodic testing of the first preset point is completed. After completion, move the device to the second preset test point and then perform the test according to the same working mode.
[0133] 19. Repeat these steps to complete the testing of all locations step by step.
[0134] Specifically,
[0135] Before conducting the testing, ensure that the water inlet hole on the inner cylinder 9 is aligned. Then, place it at the beginning of the test corridor and simultaneously control the air pump 27 to release gas from the floating ring 6 through the air nozzle 11 and hollow hose 26, leaving it partially filled. Pull one end of the rope, which is secured to the pull ring 10, to move the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for the aeration tank. Use the locator 24 to position the device at the first test point. After moving the device to the test point, secure the other end of the rope to the fixed stake.
[0136] After fixing, the greenhouse gas collection and detection device for the aeration tank is lowered. The water inlet hole on the inner cylinder 9 is aligned with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the corresponding working compartment composed of partitions to form a passage for water to enter. Since the gas sampling tube 13 is misaligned with the lower water inlet hole 5, it is aligned with the upper air outlet hole 4 on the working compartment. Since there is no liquid in the working compartment, no air is pumped out. Due to the principle of communicating vessels and the buoyancy of the floating ring 6, the water in the working compartment will eventually reach a stable state. After reaching a stable state, the tank will stop taking in water. At this time, the first pulse signal command is sent to start the stepper motor 8 to drive the linkage rod 7 to control the water inlet cylinder 9 and the gas sampling tube 13 to rotate at a fixed angle on the sliding track 14 for the second time. The water inlet hole on the water inlet cylinder 9 is aligned with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the working compartment to form a passage and start water intake. As the water intake begins to descend, the working compartment is closed due to the obstruction of the wall of the water inlet cylinder 9. The gas sampling tube 13 rotates synchronously and aligns with the upper air outlet hole 4 on the working compartment to form a gas passage. At this time, the air pump 3 is turned on to extract air. The concentration of gas flowing through the gas sampling tube 13 is detected under negative pressures of -0KPa, -10KPa, -20KPa, and -30KPa respectively. The concentration values of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane gas in the wastewater of the working compartment and their changes are recorded in real time by the gas sensor. Specifically, the carbon dioxide gas concentration is detected by an infrared gas sensor, the nitrous oxide gas concentration is detected by a laser-type nitrous oxide gas sensor, and the methane gas concentration is detected by a laser-type methane gas sensor. Correspondingly, the pressure change value and temperature are detected and fed back by the integrated temperature and pressure sensor 22, and the gas extraction flow rate is measured by the flow sensor 16.
[0137] After the gas concentration in the working compartment stabilizes, a second pulse signal command is emitted, activating the stepper motor 8 to drive the linkage rod 7, controlling the water inlet cylinder 9 and the gas sampling tube 13 to rotate a third time at a fixed angle on the sliding track 14. The water inlet hole on the water inlet cylinder 9 aligns with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the working compartment, forming a passage for water intake. The gas collection and detection device continues to descend with the water intake, and the gas sampling tube 13 rotates synchronously, aligning with the upper air outlet hole 4 on the working compartment to form a gas passage. At this time, the vacuum pump 3 is activated for air extraction and detection, using the same detection method as above. The working compartment remains closed due to the obstruction of the water inlet cylinder 9 wall, and the gas sampling tube 13 rotates synchronously. After the gas concentration in the working compartment stabilizes, a third pulse signal command is emitted, controlling the working compartment for air extraction, detection, and water intake according to the same working principle as the first and second pulse commands. Similarly, after the gas concentration and water inlet values in the working compartments have stabilized, a fourth pulse signal command is sent to control the first compartment to perform air extraction and water inlet. At this time, the linkage structure is in its initial state. The water inlet hole on the inner cylinder 9 aligns with the lower water inlet hole 5 on the corresponding working compartment composed of partitions to form a passage and begin secondary water inlet. The gas collection and detection device continues to descend until a stable equilibrium state is reached. After reaching a stable equilibrium state, the air pump 27 is controlled to inflate the floating ring 6 through the hollow hose 26 connected to the air nozzle 11, so that it is completely filled, thereby causing the greenhouse gas collection and detection device of the aeration tank to float to the water surface. The vent pipe 12 is opened to release the residual sewage in the tank.
[0138] Repeat the measurement three times to complete the periodic detection work at the first preset point. After completing the detection work at the first preset point, move the greenhouse gas collection and detection device of the aeration tank to the second preset point and conduct the detection work in the same working mode as the first test point.
[0139] Repeat the above steps to gradually complete the testing of all locations.
[0140] Working principle and explanation:
[0141] Selection of sampling points and movement and fixation of the detection device:
[0142] Sampling point selection: Before the detection begins, image recognition and manual sampling detection methods are used to determine feature points with detection value.
[0143] The container's movement and fixation: Horizontal movement is achieved via ropes. Three pull rings 10 are evenly distributed along the top outer edge of the container, with two ropes looped onto the track at a 120° angle for horizontal movement. The track is placed parallel to the corridor. On the other side, one end of a single rope is fixed to the container, while the other end can be manually swung to allow manual pushing of the container forward. On the other side of the corridor, fixed posts are provided, to which ropes can be tied to stabilize the container's position. When the container is pulled to a preset location, an internal locator 24 checks and controls its position to minimize deviations that may be caused by manual traction. For vertical movement, floating rings 6 and inlet counterweights are used.
[0144] Before starting the single-point testing work, the gas in the floating ring 6 is released by controlling the air nozzle 11 to partially fill it, thereby reducing the buoyancy of the box and allowing it to sink through the water intake, but not completely sink to the bottom.
[0145] During the testing process, as water is sequentially introduced into each working compartment, the counterweight of the chamber gradually increases, causing the chamber to begin to sink. By controlling the water inlet holes in a staggered manner, water is introduced into one working compartment while the other three are stopped. Each water introduction causes the chamber to sink to a certain depth, and continuous water introduction causes continuous changes in the liquid level. By controlling the air valve to inflate the floating ring 6, the testing chamber can be made to float vertically at a single point.
[0146] Gas sample collection and detection:
[0147] The working principle involves using a suction pump to generate negative pressure, accelerating the diffusion of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane from the liquid inside the chamber. Due to the staggered linkage structure, gas sample collection and detection are synchronized with the water inlet of the working compartment, ensuring that gas extraction and detection are performed in the i-th compartment simultaneously with water inlet in the (i+1)-th compartment. By adjusting the suction pressure of the vacuum pump, greenhouse gases inside the chamber can be collected and detected under different pressure conditions.
[0148] Plotting the gas release trend curve:
[0149] The data records include instantaneous gas pressure, concentration, and flow rate values in gas sampling tube 13. These data can be processed using Excel regression fitting tools to generate trend lines and trend equations reflecting greenhouse gas release under different pressure conditions. These trend lines and equations help analyze and understand greenhouse gas release trends and potential.
[0150] The specific data processing steps are as follows:
[0151] Adjust the working pressure of the vacuum pump until the negative pressure value stabilizes at -10 kPa, that is, when the pressure value inside the chamber stabilizes at 91 kPa. Observe the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor and record the concentration value at time intervals longer than the sensor response time. When the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor stabilizes, calculate the average concentration value C1 based on the concentrations recorded within this time period. Calculate the pumping volume from the start of adjusting the working pressure to the point where the concentration value stabilizes at C1 using the performance parameters of the vacuum pump and the flow meter detection value, and record it as V1. Multiply V1 by the stable concentration C1 to obtain the release evaluation value f1 under the negative pressure condition of -10 kPa. Calculate the cumulative release value F1 = f1 under -10 kPa.
[0152] Adjust the working pressure of the vacuum pump until the negative pressure value stabilizes at -20 kPa, i.e., the pressure value inside the chamber stabilizes at 81 kPa. Observe the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor and record the concentration value at time intervals longer than the sensor response time. When the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor stabilizes, calculate the average concentration value C2 based on the concentration values recorded within this time period. Calculate the pumping volume from the start of adjusting the working pressure to the point where the concentration value stabilizes at C2 using the performance parameters of the vacuum pump and the flow meter detection value, and record it as V2. Multiply V2 by C2 to obtain the release evaluation value f2 under the negative pressure value of -20 kPa. Summing f1 and f2 gives the cumulative release value F2 under the negative pressure value of -20 kPa.
[0153] Adjust the working pressure of the vacuum pump until the negative pressure value stabilizes at -30 kPa, i.e., the pressure value inside the chamber stabilizes at 71 kPa. Observe the change in the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor. When the concentration detection value of the methane gas sensor stabilizes, calculate the average concentration value C3 based on the concentration values recorded during this period. Calculate the pumping volume from the start of adjusting the working pressure to the point where the concentration value stabilizes at C3 using the performance parameters of the vacuum pump and the flow meter readings. Record this volume as V3. Multiply V3 by the stabilized concentration C3 to obtain the release assessment value f3 under the negative pressure condition of -30 kPa. Summing f1, f2, and f3 yields the cumulative release value F3 under the -30 kPa condition.
[0154] Under normal pressure, i.e., when the pressure inside the chamber is 101 kPa, the amount of gas spontaneously released from the gas detection chamber is called the normal release value F0.

[0156] Data fitting steps:
[0157] Plotting discrete points: Using Excel's charting tools, with the negative pressure value P as the X-axis and the release amount F as the Y-axis, select XY scatter plot to plot the data points.
[0158] Fitting a trendline: Use Excel's trendline function to select the best-fit curve for the discrete points.
[0159] Formula derivation: Using Excel's trendline function, the equation for the approximate fitted curve is derived.
[0160] Fitting results: A trend line of release amount versus negative pressure and its equation F(P) are formed.
[0161] The equation F(P) is defined as a release-negative pressure regression model.
[0162] Figure 10 The curve shown describes the release potential of a certain volume of mixture in the tank under a certain pressure. Extending the curve to the left to intersect the Y-axis, we can obtain the conventional release value F0 under 1 atmosphere. As the negative pressure test continues, the cumulative release value will approach a certain value, denoted as Fm. Fm can predict the ultimate potential release of a certain volume of mixture in the tank.
[0163] Practical applications of these models and parameters may require experiments and data collection, followed by analysis and fitting of the data using Excel or other tools to derive appropriate trend lines and equations. These models and parameters can be used to study the behavior of gas release and concentration changes under different pressure conditions.
