Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aquaculture water treatment, and in particular relates to a seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal and its startup operation. Background Art
[0002] Seawater recirculating aquaculture systems are an environmentally friendly, intensive aquaculture model that efficiently utilizes water resources and produces high aquaculture yields. Due to their advantages of water and land conservation, high-density intensive production, and controlled emissions, they have rapidly developed and been applied both domestically and internationally. A comprehensive water treatment system is crucial to the success of seawater recirculating aquaculture. Through a series of water treatment processes, including sedimentation, flotation, microfiltration, and biological purification, they effectively remove particulate pollutants such as feces and leftover bait, as well as dissolved organic matter, and convert the highly toxic ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in the water into less toxic nitrate nitrogen. However, due to the lack of further nitrate and phosphorus removal capabilities, recirculating aquaculture systems often accumulate large amounts of nitrate nitrogen and reactive phosphate. High concentrations of nitrate nitrogen can lead to slow fish growth, reduced survival rates, and decreased immunity. Current aquaculture practices primarily rely on water exchanges to reduce nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the circulating water. This not only results in significant waste of water resources and energy, but the discharge of high-concentration nitrogen and phosphorus wastewater can also easily lead to eutrophication of nearshore waters. Furthermore, under high-density, intensive aquaculture conditions, potentially pathogenic microorganisms (such as Vibrio and neuronecrosis virus) are highly susceptible to fish diseases. Aquaculture companies typically administer antibiotics to control disease outbreaks, which not only increases drug costs but also induces the development of antibiotic-resistant genes, leading to increased antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria and the spread of resistant bacteria. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a water treatment system suitable for seawater recirculating aquaculture systems that can simultaneously remove nitrogen and phosphorus while efficiently separating and removing pathogens. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention provides a seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal and its start-up operation, which can not only efficiently separate and remove particulate pollutants such as feces and leftover bait and pathogenic microorganisms continuously generated in the aquaculture water, but also has the function of simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, and can remove pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus and other pollutants continuously generated in the aquaculture water online.

[0009] The clear water area (24) of the precipitator is connected to the circulation pump water suction pipe (31), the circulation pump (3), and the circulation pump pressure water pipe (32) in sequence. The outlet of the circulation pump pressure water pipe (32) is divided into two branches. One branch is connected to the carbon source filter transcending pipe (45), the carbon source filter transcending electric valve (47), and the biological filter water inlet pipe (53) in sequence.

The water inlet, water outlet and drain outlet of the biofilter run-in valve (50) are respectively connected to the biofilter inlet pipe (53), the biofilter outlet pipe (54) and the biofilter drain pipe (55); the biofilter outlet pipe (54) is connected to the ultrafiltration filter inlet pipe (61) corresponding to the ultrafiltration filter (6);
[0012] A hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane assembly (60) is placed inside the ultrafiltration filter (6). The lower part of the ultrafiltration filter (6) is connected to an ultrafiltration filter water inlet pipe (61) and an ultrafiltration filter drain pipe (63), and the upper part is connected to an ultrafiltration filter outlet pipe (62) and an ultrafiltration filter backwash pipe (64). An ultrafiltration filter water inlet valve (65) and a pressure gauge (69) are sequentially arranged on the ultrafiltration filter water inlet pipe (61); the outlet of the ultrafiltration filter outlet pipe (62) is divided into two branches, one of which is connected to the backwash water tank (7) via the ultrafiltration filter outlet valve (66), and the other is connected to the backwash water tank (7) via the ultrafiltration filter backwash valve (68), the ultrafiltration filter backwash pipe (64), the backwash pump outlet pipe (82), the backwash pump (8), and the backwash pump inlet pipe (81); an ultrafiltration filter drain valve (67) is provided on the ultrafiltration filter drain pipe (63).
[0013] The backwash water tank (7) is used to store backwash water for the ultrafiltration filter (6). A backwash water tank overflow pipe (71) is provided on the upper portion of the backwash water tank (7). The outlet of the backwash water tank overflow pipe (71) is placed above the culture pond (1) so that the outflowing water falls into the culture pond (1). The lower portion of the backwash water tank (7) is connected to the backwash pump (8) through the backwash pump inlet pipe (81), and the backwash pump outlet pipe (82) is connected to the ultrafiltration filter backwash pipe (64).
[0014] The biological filler (51) is one or more of ceramsite, ceramic rings or volcanic rocks.

[0016] The volume ratio of the biological filler to the granular activated carbon is 2:1-5:1, and the filling degree is 60%.
[0017] The present invention also provides a start-up operation of a seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, characterized in that the start-up operation is divided into two stages: an autotrophic nitrification system start-up stage and a simultaneous nitrification and denitrification start-up operation stage, wherein:
[0018] The operation method of the autotrophic nitrification system startup phase is as follows: close the carbon source filter inlet valve (46), open the carbon source filter overrun valve (47), the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system at this stage consists of a breeding pond, a precipitator, a circulation pump, a biological filter, an ultrafiltration filter, a backwash tank and a backwash pump. The fully aerated and oxygenated aquaculture water in the breeding pond passes through the precipitator, the biological filter, the ultrafiltration filter in sequence under the drive of the circulation pump and enters the backwash tank, and finally returns to the breeding pond through the backwash tank overflow pipe. The particulate pollutants such as leftover bait and feces in the aquaculture water are removed by the silt settling device, and the fine inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are completely intercepted and removed under the combined filtration of the biological filter and the ultrafiltration filter. Dissolved organic carbon in the water is removed through physical adsorption by granular activated carbon and the subsequent biodegradation of the formed biochar. In addition, the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane assembly, as an attachment carrier for microorganisms, is used in combination with granular activated carbon and biological fillers to enrich high-concentration nitrifying bacteria, significantly shortening the startup time of the autotrophic nitrification system, quickly establishing a mature nitrification system, and achieving efficient removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen. The startup progress of the autotrophic nitrification system is judged by continuously monitoring ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the water outlet of the backwash tank overflow pipe. When the ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in the water are both stably below 0.3 mg / L, the autotrophic nitrification system is started and enters the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage;
[0019] The operation method of the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage is as follows: open the carbon source filter inlet valve (46), close the carbon source filter overflow valve (47), the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system at this stage consists of a breeding pond, a precipitator, a circulation pump, a carbon source filter, a biological filter, an ultrafiltration filter, a backwash water tank and a backwash pump. The aquaculture water in the aquaculture pond passes through the precipitator, the carbon source filter, the biological filter, the ultrafiltration filter in sequence under the drive of the circulation pump and enters the backwash water tank, and finally returns to the aquaculture pond through the backwash water tank overflow pipe. In the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage, the particulate pollutants such as leftover bait and feces in the aquaculture water are removed by the silt collector, and the fine inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are removed by the biological filter. The dissolved organic carbon in the water is removed by physical adsorption and biodegradation of granular activated carbon. At the same time, the slow-release characteristics of organic carbon in seawater, a solid carbon source, are used to induce the production of biological flocs to provide a suitable carbon-nitrogen ratio, which promotes the rapid start-up of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The start-up process of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is judged by continuously monitoring the nitrogen and phosphate content in the water outlet of the overflow pipe of the backwash tank. When the total inorganic nitrogen and phosphate content in the water are stably lower than 2.0 mg / L and 0.5 mg / L, it indicates that the start-up of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is completed and the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification enters the long-term stable operation stage, which can simultaneously remove nitrogen and phosphorus and other pollutants continuously produced in the aquaculture water online.
[0020] Furthermore, the operation of the carbon source filter includes filtration, backwashing and forward washing processes, and the operation method is as follows: the carbon filter run-in valve is adjusted to the filtration state, and the water entering the carbon source filter is filtered from top to bottom through the filter layer. When the filtration time reaches 12 hours, the carbon filter run-in valve is adjusted to the backwash state, and the water entering the carbon source filter is backwashed from top to bottom on the filter layer. The backwash time is 3 to 5 minutes, and then the carbon filter run-in valve is adjusted to the forward washing state. The forward washing time is 1 minute. After the forward washing is completed, the filtration process is entered again.
[0021] Furthermore, the operation of the biofilter includes filtration, backwashing and forward washing processes, and the operation method is as follows: the biofilter conditioning valve is adjusted to the filtration state, and the water entering the biofilter is filtered from top to bottom through the filter layer. When the filtration time reaches 24 hours, the biofilter conditioning valve is adjusted to the backwash state, and the water entering the biofilter is backwashed from top to bottom on the filter layer. The backwash time is 1 to 2 minutes. Then, the biofilter conditioning valve is adjusted to the forward washing state. The forward washing time is 1 minute. After the forward washing is completed, the filtration process is entered again.
[0022] Furthermore, the operation of the ultrafiltration filter includes two processes: filtration and backwashing. The operation method of the filtration process is as follows: close the ultrafiltration filter drain valve and the ultrafiltration filter backwash valve, open the ultrafiltration filter water inlet valve and the ultrafiltration filter outlet valve, and the water from the biological filter enters the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane component of the ultrafiltration filter at a rate of 10 to 25 L / (m 2h) Flux filtration: When the filtration time reaches 6h or the pressure before the membrane rises to 0.1MPa, the ultrafiltration system enters the backwash process; the backwash process is operated as follows: close the ultrafiltration filter inlet valve and ultrafiltration filter outlet valve, open the ultrafiltration filter drain valve and ultrafiltration filter backwash valve, and start the backwash pump at the same time to backwash the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane assembly. The backwash intensity is 60~80L / (m 2 ·h), backwash time 1 to 2 minutes. After the backwash is completed, close the ultrafiltration filter drain valve and ultrafiltration filter backwash valve, open the ultrafiltration filter inlet valve and ultrafiltration filter outlet valve, and resume filtration.
[0023] The advantages of a seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal are:
[0024] 1. The present invention connects the bottom of the aquaculture pond and the water inlet area of the sedimentation tank through a connecting pipe, and the top is set at the same elevation. Only one circulation pump can drive the filtration of the entire synchronous denitrification and phosphorus removal seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system, as well as the backwashing and forward washing of the carbon source filter and the biological filter. During operation, it is only necessary to pre-set the operating status of the carbon source filter run-in valve and the biological filter run-in valve to realize the automatic operation of filtration-backwash-forward washing-filtration of the carbon source filter and the biological filter.
[0025] 2. The present invention starts autotrophic nitrification and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification separately, avoiding the local nitrite accumulation during the startup of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, as well as the accumulation of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen caused by the process of nitrate reduction to ammonia, thereby ensuring the water quality safety of the seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system in the initial startup.
[0026] 3. During the startup phase of the autotrophic nitrification system, the combination of a biofilter and an ultrafiltration filter can not only rapidly enrich high-concentration nitrifying bacteria using the ultrafiltration membrane, significantly shortening the startup time of the nitrification system, but also promptly and efficiently convert the highly toxic ammonia nitrogen and nitrite continuously produced in the fish farming water into less toxic nitrates. Furthermore, the system can efficiently intercept and remove inorganic and organic particles, algae, and pathogenic microorganisms in the water, thereby improving the clarity of the aquaculture water and ensuring its biological safety.
[0027] 4. During the startup phase of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, the carbon source filter, biological filter and ultrafiltration filter are combined to give full play to the advantages of the solid carbon source's slow-release properties of organic carbon, the biological filler's long-term enrichment and retention of aerobic simultaneous nitrification and denitrification bacteria, and the ultrafiltration membrane's high-efficiency interception and removal of inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water. This allows for online and simultaneous removal of nitrogen, phosphorus and pathogenic microorganisms from the circulating aquaculture water, overcoming the defects of large-scale accumulation of nitrate nitrogen and active phosphate and long-term enrichment of potential pathogenic microorganisms in conventional recirculating aquaculture systems. This ensures the water quality safety of the seawater recirculating aquaculture system and achieves efficient recycling of aquaculture water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The startup and operation of the seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal of the present invention is divided into two stages: the autotrophic nitrification system startup stage and the simultaneous nitrification and denitrification startup and operation stage, wherein:
[0045] The operation method of the autotrophic nitrification system startup stage is as follows: close the carbon source filter inlet valve 46, open the carbon source filter override valve 47, and the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system at this stage consists of a culture pond 1, a precipitator 2, a circulation pump 3, a biological filter 5, an ultrafiltration filter 6, a backwash tank 7 and a backwash pump 8. The aquaculture water in the culture pond 1 is driven by the circulation pump 3 and passes through the precipitator 2, the biological filter 5, the ultrafiltration filter 6 in sequence to enter the backwash tank 7, and finally returns to the culture pond 1 through the backwash tank overflow pipe 71. Particulate pollutants such as leftover bait and feces in the aquaculture water are removed by the silt collector 2, and fine inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are filtered by the combination of the biological filter 5 and the ultrafiltration filter 6. The dissolved organic carbon in the water is completely intercepted and removed, and the dissolved organic carbon in the water is removed by physical adsorption of granular activated carbon and the biodegradation of the biochar formed thereafter. In addition, the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane assembly 60 is used as an attachment carrier for microorganisms in combination with the granular activated carbon 51 and the biological filler 52 to enrich high-concentration nitrifying bacteria, significantly shortening the startup time of the autotrophic nitrification system, quickly establishing a mature nitrification system, and achieving efficient removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen. By continuously monitoring the ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the water effluent from the backwash tank overflow pipe 71, the startup progress of the autotrophic nitrification system is judged. When the system is running for 20 days, the ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in the water are both stable below 0.3 mg / L (see Appendix Figure 2 ), indicating that the autotrophic nitrification system has been started and entered the synchronous nitrification and denitrification start-up operation stage;
[0046] The operation method of the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage is as follows: open the carbon source filter inlet valve 46, close the carbon source filter override valve 47, and the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system at this stage consists of aquaculture pond 1, precipitator 2, circulation pump 3, carbon source filter 4, biological filter 5, ultrafiltration filter 6, backwash water tank 7 and backwash pump 8. The aquaculture water in the aquaculture pond 1 is driven by the circulation pump 3 and passes through the precipitator 2, carbon source filter 4, biological filter 5, ultrafiltration filter 6 in sequence to enter the backwash water tank 7, and finally returns to the aquaculture pond 1 through the backwash water tank overflow pipe 71. During the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage, the residual bait, Particulate pollutants such as feces are removed by the sedimentation device 2, and fine inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are completely intercepted and removed by the combined filtration of the biological filter 5 and the ultrafiltration filter 6.

When the filtration time reaches 12 hours, adjust the carbon filter run-in valve 40 to the backwash state, and the water entering the carbon source filter 4 is backwashed from top to bottom on the filter layer. The backwash time is 5 minutes, and then adjust the carbon filter run-in valve 40 to the forward washing state. The forward washing time is 1 minute. After the forward washing is completed, enter the filtration process again;

When the filtration time reaches 24 hours, the biofilter conditioning valve 50 is adjusted to the backwash state, and the water entering the biofilter 5 is backwashed from top to bottom on the filter layer. The backwash time is 2 minutes. Then the biofilter conditioning valve 50 is adjusted to the forward washing state. The forward washing time is 1 minute. After the forward washing is completed, the filtration process is entered again.
[0049] In actual operation, the operation of the ultrafiltration filter 6 includes two processes: filtration and backwashing. The operation method of the filtration process is as follows: close the ultrafiltration filter drain valve 67 and the ultrafiltration filter backwash valve 68, open the ultrafiltration filter water inlet valve 65 and the ultrafiltration filter outlet valve 66, and the water from the biological filter 5 enters the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane assembly 60 of the ultrafiltration filter 6 at a rate of 20L / (m 2 h) flux filtration.

The method for starting and operating a seawater circulating aquaculture water treatment system with simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: The startup operation is divided into two stages: the autotrophic nitrification system startup stage and the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage, in which: The operation method of the autotrophic nitrification system startup stage is as follows: close the carbon source filter water inlet electric valve, open the carbon source filter overrun electric valve, this stage of the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system consists of aquaculture pond, sedimentation tank, circulation pump, biological filter, ultrafiltration filter, backwash water tank and backwash pump. The fully aerated and oxygenated aquaculture water in the aquaculture pond is driven by the circulation pump and passes through the sedimentation tank, biological filter, ultrafiltration filter into the backwash water tank in sequence, and finally returns to the aquaculture pond through the backwash water tank overflow pipe. The residual bait and feces in the aquaculture water are removed by the sludge collector, and the fine inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are removed by the biological filter and ultrafiltration filter. The organic carbon in the water is completely intercepted and removed by the combined filtration of the filters, and the dissolved organic carbon in the water is removed by physical adsorption and biodegradation of granular activated carbon. In addition, the hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane module, as an attachment carrier for microorganisms, is used in combination with granular activated carbon and biological fillers to enrich high-concentration nitrifying bacteria, significantly shortening the startup time of the autotrophic nitrification system, quickly establishing a mature nitrification system, and achieving efficient removal of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen. The startup progress of the autotrophic nitrification system is judged by continuously monitoring ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the water outlet of the backwash tank overflow pipe. When the ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in the water are both stably lower than 0.3 mg / L, the startup of the autotrophic nitrification system is completed and the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage is entered; The operation method of the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage is as follows: open the carbon source filter water inlet electric valve, close the carbon source filter overrun electric valve, this stage of the seawater circulating water aquaculture water treatment system consists of aquaculture pond, sedimentation tank, circulation pump, carbon source filter, biological filter, ultrafiltration filter, backwash water tank and backwash pump. Driven by the circulation pump, the aquaculture water in the aquaculture pond passes through the sedimentation tank, carbon source filter, biological filter, ultrafiltration filter in sequence and enters the backwash water tank, and finally returns to the aquaculture pond through the backwash water tank overflow pipe. During the synchronous nitrification and denitrification startup operation stage, the residual bait and feces in the aquaculture water are removed. Through the removal of silt traps, tiny inorganic and organic particles and pathogenic microorganisms in the water are completely intercepted and removed by the combined filtration of biological filters and ultrafiltration filters. The dissolved organic carbon in the water is removed by physical adsorption and biodegradation of granular activated carbon. At the same time, the property of solid carbon sources to slowly release organic carbon in seawater is used to provide a suitable carbon-nitrogen ratio for the production of biological flocs, promoting the rapid start-up of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. By continuously monitoring the nitrogen, nitrogen and phosphate in the water outlet of the backwash tank overflow pipe, the start-up progress of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is judged. When the total inorganic nitrogen and phosphate in the water are stably lower than 2.0 mg / L and 0.5 mg / L, it indicates that the start-up of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is completed and enters the long-term stable operation stage of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, which can simultaneously remove nitrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants continuously produced in aquaculture water online.
