TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of sewage treatment, in particular to a short process sewage treatment process with low dissolved oxygen operation. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the process flow of sewage treatment plant is still relatively long, and the aeration energy consumption is an important part of carbon emission of sewage treatment plant. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a short process sewage treatment process with low dissolved oxygen operation to realize the low-carbon development of sewage treatment technology.
[0003] The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a new sewage treatment technology which utilizes the biofilm of pollutant degrading bacteria enriched on the surface of filler. Through adsorption, interception and degradation on the surface of biofilm, it realizes efficient removal of pollutants. MBBR has the advantages of high volumetric loading, more than 50% reduction in land occupation, high treatment efficiency, simple process, strong impact resistance and easy automation control, and has been widely used in expansion and reconstruction of sewage treatment plants, and has shown broad application prospects in the field of sewage treatment.
[0004] In recent years, more and more studies have found that operating MBBR under low dissolved oxygen conditions can not only greatly reduce energy consumption, but also realize simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and short-cut nitrification and denitrification, thereby realizing short process and efficient nitrogen control. However, MBBR has high requirements for aeration quantity and mixing intensity. If the filler is completely fluidized by aeration, it is difficult to accurately control the dissolved oxygen concentration, and will result in high energy consumption; if the aeration and mechanical stirring are combined, the stirring blade and the filler are easy to be worn, which brings high operation cost. To some extent, this problem restricts the popularization and application of the technology.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a more efficient, low-consumption and sustainable MBBR aeration control strategy for constructing a short process sewage treatment process with low dissolved oxygen operation. This not only helps to further improve the performance and economy of MBBR process, but also provides a new idea and direction for realizing the low-carbon and sustainable development of sewage treatment process. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and provides a short process sewage treatment process with low dissolved oxygen operation.
[0007] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a short process sewage treatment process with low dissolved oxygen operation, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1. The system used in the short process sewage treatment process is composed of a pool body, an aeration system and an aeration control system;

[0019] Further, the first-stage micro-dissolved oxygen reaction zone and the second-stage low-dissolved oxygen reaction zone both contain partitions, the number of partitions n is greater than or equal to 2, the length-width ratio of a single partition is controlled at 1:2~2:1, 1:1 is appropriate, three-dimensional columnar stainless steel interception screens with a pore size of 0.5~2.0 cm are arranged at the water inlet and outlet of the partitions, so as to avoid filler accumulation and blockage at the interception screens.
[0020] Further, the first-stage micro-dissolved oxygen reaction zone is mainly subjected to cyclone aeration, the gas amount accounts for 60%~100%, so as to ensure complete fluidization of the filler; the second-stage low-dissolved oxygen reaction zone has a lower filler stirring requirement, and is mainly subjected to micropore aeration, the gas amount accounts for 60%~100%, so as to ensure that the DO concentration is greater than or equal to 1.5 mg / L.

[0025] Advantages of the present application:
[0026] 1. Short process and high efficiency of denitrification. The present application adopts two-stage biochemical treatment process to realize simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and short-cut nitrification and denitrification under the conditions of micro-dissolved oxygen (DO 0.5-1.5 mg / L) and low-dissolved oxygen (DO 1.5-2.5 mg / L); the process is operated in the mode of mixed activated sludge and biofilm, and a relatively low activated sludge concentration is set, so that the competition and inhibition of suspended sludge to biofilm are reduced under the short process, and the ammonia nitrogen in the effluent meets the standard. Overall, the process greatly shortens the traditional denitrification process flow and significantly improves the denitrification efficiency.
[0027] 2. Energy saving and consumption reduction.

The combination of micro-porous aerator and lift-type cyclone aerator can accurately control the dissolved oxygen concentration, realize low-dissolved oxygen operation, and meet the mixing demand of the filler while avoiding the abrasion of the mechanical stirring blade to the filler, thereby prolonging the service life of the filler and reducing the operation cost.
[0029] 4. Intelligent control. The online monitoring and automatic control system is equipped, the aeration amount and aeration mode are adjusted in real time according to the DO at each stage and the ammonia nitrogen in the effluent, and energy saving and consumption reduction, cost reduction and efficiency improvement are realized.
[0030] 5. Sludge backflow. The sludge and aged biofilm are backflowed to the front end, thereby ensuring the biomass and degradation efficiency. The three-dimensional columnar screen is set in the grid to prevent the filler from being blocked and ensure long-term stable operation.
[0031] 6. Wide applicability. The present process adopts the mixed mode of activated sludge and biofilm, has the advantages of activated sludge method and biofilm method, has strong adaptability to the influent water quality, and can effectively cope with different types of wastewater; the lift-type cyclone aerator is easy to install and disassemble, so the present application is not only suitable for new projects, but also suitable for upgrading and operation optimization.
[0032] In summary, the present application constructs a new low-dissolved oxygen short process wastewater treatment process through process flow optimization, aeration system innovation and intelligent control means, significantly improves the denitrification and phosphorus removal efficiency, helps energy saving and consumption reduction and carbon emission reduction, and provides a new solution for the green and sustainable development of wastewater treatment plants.

The microporous aeration device is installed at the bottom of the MBBR reactor, which is used to generate fine bubbles to improve the dissolved oxygen level in the tank; the liftable cyclone aeration device is installed 0.3 m above the microporous aerator, which generates rotating air flow to suck water under negative pressure, realizes air-water mixing, and provides power to make the carrier in a fluidized state. The control system is used to adjust the operating parameters of the aeration device according to the dissolved oxygen in the reactor and the effluent ammonia nitrogen, so as to achieve the best nitrogen control effect under low energy consumption.
