Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this invention through the specific circumstances.
[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] One embodiment of the present invention proposes a low-carbon and stable treatment method for rural domestic sewage in arid and cold regions based on natural energy, comprising:
[0037] Based on the environmental temperature characteristics, the operation is divided into non-freezing and freezing period treatments.
[0038] For the non-freezing period, it is divided into the normal temperature period and the low temperature period; during the normal temperature period, the water temperature is greater than 15℃, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 14h, and the daily treatment capacity is 2.0m³. 3 The system operates for 24 hours per day; during the low-temperature period, the water temperature is 0–15℃, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 18 hours, and the daily treatment capacity is 1.5 m³ / day. 3 / d, runtime 24h;
[0039] During the freezing period, when the water temperature is below 0℃, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 16 hours, and the daily treatment capacity is 0.8–1.0 m³. 3 / d, runtime is 12h.
[0040] The generation and discharge patterns of domestic sewage vary with the seasons, with more occurring in summer and less in winter. Therefore, the system's operation cannot remain static and requires reasonable configuration. This invention, by combining an automatic control system and adjusting energy efficiency and structure, achieves a match between treated water volume and hydraulic retention time.
[0041] Based on temperature characteristics, the system is divided into non-freezing period and freezing period operation and processing.
[0042] During the non-freezing period, when the water temperature is above 15℃, the temperature is suitable for microbial growth, resulting in good biofilm activity and a better system treatment effect. Therefore, the HRT is set at 14h, and the daily treatment capacity is 2.0m³. 3 / d. During the low-temperature period, the low water temperature weakens the activity of microorganisms in the biological stage, reducing the treatment effect. Extending the hydraulic retention time (HRT) maximizes the removal of pollutants using the physical stage. Furthermore, the reduced treatment volume decreases the system's energy consumption, allowing excess electricity to be used for equipment insulation and heating to ensure stable operation. Therefore, the HRT is adjusted to 18 hours, with a daily treatment capacity of 1.5 m³ / day. 3 / d or so.
[0043] During the freezing period, when the water temperature is below 0℃, water consumption is lower in winter than in summer; therefore, the daily treatment capacity is 0.8–1.0 m³. 3 / d, HRT set to 16h, running time 12h. Compared with the normal temperature period, the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen and total phosphorus pollutants in the system fluctuate less during the low temperature period and the freezing period. The system as a whole is relatively stable in operation and can achieve stable and efficient removal of pollutants during the low temperature period and the freezing period.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus used in the processing method includes:
[0045] Wind turbine 1, used to collect wind energy and convert it into electrical energy;
[0046] Photovoltaic panel 2 is used to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy;
[0047] Battery 5 is used to collect electrical energy transmitted by wind turbine 1 and photovoltaic panel 2;
[0048] Inverter 6 is used to convert the DC power from battery 5 into AC power;
[0049] PLC controller 7 is used to control the output of electrical energy transmitted by inverter 6;
[0050] The water treatment tank consists of an equalization tank 12, an anaerobic tank 13, an aerobic tank 14, an anoxic tank 15, an aerobic tank 2 16, a filter tank 17, and a filter tank 2 18, which are connected from left to right.
[0051] Septic tank 11 is used to hold sewage to be treated;
[0052] Inlet pump 101, inlet pump 2 102, and inlet pump 3 103 are used to send sewage from septic tank 11 into equalization tank 12; aeration pump 9 is used to provide aeration for aerobic tank 14 and aerobic tank 2 16; the inlet pump 101, inlet pump 2 102, inlet pump 3 103, and aeration pump 9 are electrically connected to PLC controller 7.
[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the inlet pumps 101, 102, and 103 have different flow rates, allowing for rapid switching during normal temperature, low temperature, and freezing periods, thereby ensuring operation according to the specified hydraulic retention time, daily processing capacity, and operating time. More specifically, the inlet pumps can be peristaltic pumps.
[0054] For example, when the effective volume of the water treatment tank is 1100L, the flow rate of the first inlet pump 101 can be 1389ml / min, the flow rate of the second inlet pump 102 can be 1042ml / min, and the flow rate of the third inlet pump 103 can be 1111ml / min.
[0055] The wind-solar hybrid power generation system proposed in this invention is based on a biophysical coupling treatment process and a thermal insulation and control system, and is matched with different climate characteristics in different seasons for operation and control strategies. The automatic control system of the device mainly consists of a wind turbine 1, a photovoltaic panel 2, a battery 5, a PLC controller 7, a water inlet pump 101, a water inlet pump 202, and a water inlet pump 303. The wind turbine 1 and the photovoltaic panel 2 respectively transmit the collected wind energy and solar energy to the battery 5 for charging. Then, the inverter 6 converts the DC power of the battery 5 into AC power required by the load. The PLC controller 7 controls the start of the water inlet pumps 101, 102, and 103 by identifying the ambient temperature, thereby realizing the adjustment of hydraulic residence time, daily processing capacity, and operating time. The specific water treatment tanks mainly include equalization tank 12, anaerobic tank 13, aerobic tank 14, anoxic tank 15, aerobic tank 2 16, filter tank 17, and filter tank 2 18.

It utilizes the synergistic effect of microorganisms and physical technology to remove pollutants in sewage. The structure is reasonably distributed and has the characteristics of stable and high standard effluent, strong shock resistance and high applicability.

[0057] This device has a wide range of applications, suitable for single-household and multi-household wastewater treatment in rural areas. It offers excellent energy-saving and consumption-reducing effects, is easy to operate and maintain, and ensures effective utilization of abundant natural energy sources while ensuring improved performance.

Depending on the mixing ratio, the combined packing material is evenly distributed at different heights in the reaction tank, ensuring uniform suspension and fluidization throughout the tank, thereby maintaining high biofilm activity. Under normal aeration intensity, the packing material is added at a quantity of 40%–50% of the reaction tank volume, and the biofilm attached to the packing material treats pollutants in the wastewater.
[0063] Furthermore, each of the equalization tank 12, aerobic tank 14, aerobic tank 16, and filtration tank 18 is equipped with sensors for real-time monitoring of dissolved oxygen, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, and pH in the wastewater. Specifically, these are dissolved oxygen, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, and pH sensors, respectively. Additionally, the equalization tank 12 is also equipped with a temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of the wastewater temperature.
[0064] Furthermore, the monitoring sensors in the equalization tank 12, aerobic tank 14, aerobic tank 2 16, and filter tank 2 18, which are used to monitor dissolved oxygen, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, and pH in the wastewater in real time, are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 7; the temperature sensor in the equalization tank 12, which is used to monitor the temperature in the wastewater in real time, is also electrically connected to the PLC controller 7.
[0065] Furthermore, the volume ratio of anaerobic tank 13, aerobic tank 14, anoxic tank 15, and aerobic tank 2 16 is 1:2:1.5:2.5.
[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the equalization tank 12, anaerobic tank 13, aerobic tank 14, anoxic tank 15, aerobic tank 2 16, filter tank 17, and filter tank 2 18 are arranged in the following order: top inlet and bottom outlet, top inlet and bottom outlet, top inlet and top outlet, bottom inlet and bottom outlet, top inlet and top outlet, top inlet and bottom outlet, and finally, the treated effluent is discharged from the top. Each reaction tank is connected by a PVC (20mm) pipe. The septic tank 11 is used to hold domestic sewage.
[0067] Furthermore, the dissolved oxygen concentration in aerobic tank 14 and aerobic tank 26 is 2-4 mg / L; the dissolved oxygen concentration in anoxic tank 15 is 0-0.2 mg / L.
[0068] Furthermore, aeration components 21 are provided at the bottom of both aerobic tank 14 and aerobic tank 26. The aeration components 21 provide oxygen and agitation for the microorganisms in the aerobic tanks.
[0069] Furthermore, a gas flow meter 8 is installed between aeration pump 9 and aerobic tank 14, and between aeration pump 9 and aerobic tank 2 16.

[0071] Furthermore, a flow-through ultraviolet sterilizer 19 is installed at the outlet of filter tank 2 18. Ultraviolet disinfection is performed using the flow-through ultraviolet sterilizer 19. The ultraviolet sterilizer 19 is a Xuelite ultraviolet sterilizer. After treatment by filter tank 1 17 and filter tank 2 18, the color and turbidity of the wastewater are reduced to a certain extent. Further disinfection by the ultraviolet sterilizer 19 further purifies the wastewater.
[0072] Furthermore, the storage battery 5 includes at least one storage battery 5; preferably, the storage battery 5 comprises 12 storage batteries 5.
[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, an insulating heating plate is provided on the outer side of the water treatment tank. Insulating cotton is provided on the outer side of the insulating heating plate. The insulating cotton is wrapped around the four sides of the water treatment tank using a wrapping method, and the thickness of the insulating cotton is 10cm.
[0074] Furthermore, the insulation heating plate monitors the temperature via a temperature sensor and is electrically connected to the PLC controller 7. The heating mode of this insulation heating plate can be adjusted by the PLC controller 7, using high or low power heating based on the amount of power generated, to achieve stable water temperature under different scenarios and ensure the removal effect and operational stability of wastewater treatment.
[0075] In a wastewater treatment method proposed in one embodiment of the present invention, the PLC controller 7 senses the ambient temperature through a temperature sensor in the regulating tank 12 used for real-time monitoring of the temperature in the wastewater, and then controls the start of inlet pump 101, inlet pump 2 102 or inlet pump 3 103, thereby realizing the control of hydraulic retention time, daily treatment capacity and running time.

[0111] Considering the fact that rural water consumption is much lower in winter than in summer, and to ensure the normal operation of the treatment facilities under extreme low-temperature conditions, the operating modes for non-freezing and freezing periods are shown in Table 3.
[0112] For the freezing period, the HRT (Heat Retention Time) is designed to be 16 hours, with a daily processing capacity of 0.8–1.0 m³. 3 / d.
[0113] For non-freezing periods, the system is divided into normal temperature (>15℃) and low temperature (0~15℃) periods, depending on the specific water temperature. During the normal temperature period, the HRT of the equipment is adjusted to 14h, and the daily processing capacity is 2.0m³. 3 / d; During the low-temperature period, the low water temperature weakens the activity of microorganisms in the biological section, reducing the treatment effect. Therefore, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is extended to maximize the removal of pollutants in the physical section, ensuring stable equipment operation. Thus, during the low-temperature period, the HRT is adjusted to 18 hours, with a daily treatment capacity of 1.5 m³. 3 Approximately / d. The COD in the system's effluent is... Cr NH4 + -N, TN, TP, SS, and pH meet the "Pollutant Discharge Standard for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants" The Level 1B standard.

[0116] The average results of water quality testing are shown in Table 4 below.
[0117] Table 4. Average Water Quality Test Results (Unit: ml / L)
[0118]
[0119] In rural areas of Northwest China, the average daily wastewater discharge per person during the non-freezing period (normal temperature period) is 30 L / d. The equipment operates continuously and efficiently 24 hours a day, with effluent COD and NH4 levels... + The concentrations of -N, TN, TP, and SS meet the requirements of the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants". The water quality meets the Class B standard. In rural areas of Northwest China, during the non-freezing period (low temperature period), the average daily drainage volume per person is 25L / d. With the equipment operating continuously for 24 hours a day, the concentration of the effluent can meet the Class B standard. During the freezing period in rural areas of Northwest China, the average daily drainage volume per person is 15L / d. During this period, the equipment operates for 12 hours during the day, and at night, the electricity is prioritized for heat preservation and heating. The concentration of the effluent can also basically meet the Class B standard.
[0120] Table 5. Fecal coliform count (CFU / L) in influent and effluent wastewater
[0121]
[0122] According to the data in the table above, after ultraviolet disinfection by the sewage treatment system, the average reduction rate of fecal coliform bacteria in the sewage was 98.72%, and the effluent met the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Urban Sewage Treatment Plants". The Class A emission standard for fecal coliforms is 10 3 per L.
[0123] Table 6 Comparison of Removal Rates of Various Pollutants by Reactors at Different Stages
[0124]
[0125] Based on a biophysical coupled treatment process and a self-controlled air extraction system, the system employs operational control strategies for different seasons and climatic characteristics. Compared to normal temperature periods, the removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended solids fluctuate within a range of [-4.19%, +3.33%] during low-temperature and freezing periods. COD removal rate shows a slight increase, while TP removal rate shows a slight decrease. The system as a whole operates relatively stably, achieving stable and efficient removal of pollutants during low-temperature and freezing periods. Simultaneously, it effectively solves the problem of winter effluent treatment from underground wastewater treatment equipment in Northwest China.
[0126] In addition, the system's power generation is detected and recorded by corresponding electronic sensors and a PLC (FX2N-40M, Tianjin Jiachuang Technology Development Co., Ltd., China), while power consumption is recorded in real time by an electricity meter. Based on power generation and consumption, the capacity utilization rate is calculated to be 90.63 ± 10.14%.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
