Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and relates to a sewage treatment device and method, in particular to a short-process sewage treatment device and method based on a MABR process, which can ensure water quality and has obvious energy-saving effect. BACKGROUND

[0002] The membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a treatment process for realizing degradation of pollutants in sewage by using a biofilm system attached and grown on the surface of a carrier through an oxygen permeable membrane as the carrier. The MABR realizes bubbleless aeration and molecular oxygen transmission by virtue of its special material properties, and greatly improves the oxygen transmission efficiency compared with other aeration systems. However, in the actual operation process, the gas supplied by the MABR membrane system is directly discharged into the atmosphere or further utilized for gas stirring of sewage after oxygen transmission. For multiple MABR systems, the amount of gas is large, and there is still a large amount of oxygen in the gas after oxygen transmission which is not utilized, and the direct discharge causes great resource waste. In addition, the gas stirring of sewage requires an increase in the supply pressure, and the utilization rate of the gas is very low, which is a process of increasing energy consumption. In order to further save energy and increase the oxygen transmission efficiency of the MABR, a new MABR operation process is needed.

[0003] The conventional integrated sewage treatment process needs to design anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic processes to realize the effects of denitrification, phosphorus removal and COD removal, which results in a long process, large occupation and many devices of the treatment equipment, and also leads to complex control. In addition, the conventional aerobic process often needs to be realized by aeration, and the aeration process releases the original or generated wastewater in the treatment process into the atmosphere, thereby causing air pollution.

[0004] For the MABR sewage treatment process, a matching filtration and sedimentation system also needs to be designed. The conventional secondary sedimentation tank often has the problem of mud running, which results in unqualified effluent. In addition, there are problems of poor impact resistance and poor sanitary conditions. The use of filtration equipment will result in an increase in equipment investment, an increase in the occupation area and complex control.

[0005] Therefore, a short-process, easy-to-control, stable, small-occupation-area, reliable and safe device and operation process has great significance. SUMMARY

[0006] The problems to be solved by the present application include: 1. the problems of long process, more configuration and complex control of the current integrated device; 2. the problem of poor sedimentation effect and poor effluent quality of the conventional sedimentation tank; 3. the problem of high energy consumption of the conventional sewage treatment device; and 4. the problem of air pollution caused by odor or volatile gas of the conventional sewage treatment process.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the first aspect of the present application provides a short process sewage treatment equipment based on MABR process, the short process sewage treatment equipment of the present application has good effluent water quality, simple process, less equipment configuration, obvious energy saving effect, environmental protection safety and land saving.

[0008] The second aspect of the present application provides a short process sewage treatment method based on MABR process, the treatment method of the present application has short process, simple operation, obvious energy saving effect and good effluent water quality.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0010] Firstly, the present application provides a short process sewage treatment equipment based on MABR process, the short process sewage treatment equipment comprises a water distribution system, a MABR reaction zone, a MABR membrane assembly, a gas supply and flushing system, a clear water zone, an automatic backwashing control system, a water production system and a liquid level control system.

[0013] In the present application, the MABR membrane assembly is placed in parallel with the water flow direction in the high-load MABR reaction zone, which mainly functions to ensure the sufficient contact between the pollutants in the influent and the MABR membrane assembly, and to reduce the head loss (or resistance loss) in the operation process, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system.

[0014] The MABR membrane assembly is placed vertically to the water flow direction in the low-load MABR reaction zone, which mainly functions to further react the remaining pollutants in the area after the removal effect of the high-load MABR reaction zone, and the vertical placement not only ensures the sufficient contact between the pollutants and the MABR membrane, but also more importantly traps the sludge, thereby ensuring the effluent effect.

[0015] As a preferred scheme of the present application, the short process sewage treatment equipment is in a cylindrical structure, and sequentially comprises a sedimentation zone, a water distribution zone, a high-load MABR zone, an automatic backwashing control system, a low-load MABR zone, a clear water zone from bottom to top, and the height of the short process sewage treatment equipment is greater than 4m; and the water production system is arranged in the clear water zone.

Too small spacing also has the problem of high filtration resistance, increasing the operating energy consumption. Therefore, the present application sets the spacing between the woven MABR hollow fiber membrane filaments to be 0.3-0.6 mm.

[0025] S2: When the MABR membrane assembly resistance of the low load MABR zone increases, the backwashing automatic control system is started, the sewage to be treated in the short-flow sewage treatment equipment is discharged to the adjusting tank by the backwashing automatic control system, and the liquid level of the clear water zone is lowered;

[0026] S3: The liquid level of the reaction tank clear water zone is lower than the pump stop limit gauge, the water inlet pump is closed, the clear water zone water flows reversely to backwash the MABR membrane wire of the MABR membrane assembly of the low load MABR zone, and the flushing aeration system at the lower part of the MABR membrane assembly is operated to flush the MABR membrane wire of the MABR membrane assembly of the low load MABR zone;

[0027] S4: When the liquid level in the reaction tank is lowered to the installation position of the backwashing automatic control system, the backwashing automatic control is destroyed, the backwashing is stopped, the water level in the treatment device is no longer lowered, and the liquid level reaches the pump starting limit point;

[0028] S5: The water inlet pump is started, and the sewage treatment process S1 is carried out.
