Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater and sludge treatment technology, and in particular to an intelligent sludge discharge and dewatering dosing control system for wastewater treatment plants based on big data analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Wastewater treatment plants are important public welfare projects, and sludge from these plants is an inevitable byproduct of wastewater treatment. The transportation and treatment of sludge is a key focus of wastewater treatment plants. Generally, each sedimentation tank and advanced treatment unit in a wastewater treatment plant discharges or recycles a portion of the sludge, which is then transported to a thickening or storage tank, and subsequently pumped to dewatering or drying incineration equipment for volume reduction before being disposed of off-site.

[0003] Traditional sludge pumps operate intermittently, with start and stop times set according to schedule. This simple and crude operating method can easily lead to untimely sludge discharge, posing a risk of sludge spillage and affecting the effluent quality of wastewater treatment plants. Alternatively, excessive sludge discharge can result in excessively low solids content in the discharged sludge, increasing the operating load of the thickening and dewatering equipment, as well as increasing energy consumption, as well as the consumption of chemicals and labor.

[0004] Moreover, in order to ensure that the dewatered sludge meets the required moisture content, traditional wastewater treatment plants often add excessive amounts of flocculants, resulting in serious waste of resources and contradicting my country's dual-carbon policy.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve intelligent and optimal sludge discharge and dewatering dosing from the overall perspective of the entire sludge discharge and dewatering dosing system, improve the efficiency and stability of sludge discharge and dewatering, and at the same time save energy, reduce consumption, and operate in a low-carbon manner has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0046] If any one or more of the following parameters—SS, pH / ORP, BOD, COD, NH3-N, TP, and TN—fail to meet the standards in any set of data at any sampling time, then the control strategy for the sludge pump at the previous sampling time is not advisable.

[0047] If the microwave sludge concentration meter at the sludge outlet of the dewatering equipment detects that the sludge moisture content is below standard in any set of data at any of the sampling times, then the dosage control strategy at the previous sampling time is not advisable.

[0087] Example

[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent sludge discharge and dewatering dosing control system for wastewater treatment plants based on big data analysis includes wastewater treatment facility 2, microwave sludge concentration online monitoring and wastewater quality and quantity online monitoring (these two features are highlighted in red below), as well as sludge flow meter 5 and dosing flow meter 11.

[0089] The wastewater treatment facility 2 is connected to the sludge storage tank, thickening tank or conditioning tank 7 through the sludge pipe 12, and then connected to the dewatering equipment 8.

[0090] The wastewater quality and quantity online monitoring system is the wastewater quality and quantity monitoring system 3 installed in the pretreatment section 2-1 and the advanced treatment section 2-3 of the wastewater treatment facility 2;

[0091] Between the pretreatment section 2-1 and the advanced treatment section 2-3 is the biochemical reaction and sedimentation tank 2-2;

[0092] The deep treatment section 2-3, the biochemical reaction and sedimentation tank 2-2, and the pretreatment section 2-1 are respectively connected to the sludge storage tank, the thickening tank or the conditioning tank 7 through the sludge pipe 12. The sludge pipe 12 connected to the sludge storage tank, the thickening tank or the conditioning tank 7 is equipped with a sludge pump 4, a sludge flow meter 5 and a microwave sludge concentration meter 6.

[0093] Three microwave sludge concentration meters 6 are installed between the deep treatment section 2-3, the biochemical reaction and sedimentation tank 2-2, the pretreatment section 2-1 and the sludge storage tank, thickening tank or conditioning tank 7 for online monitoring of microwave sludge concentration.

[0094] The sludge pipe 12 between the sludge storage tank, thickening tank or conditioning tank 7 and the dewatering equipment 8 is equipped with a sludge pump 4, a sludge flow meter 5 and a microwave sludge concentration meter 6 in sequence.

[0095] The dewatering equipment 8 is connected to the dosing pump 9 via the dosing pipe 13, and a microwave sludge concentration meter 6 is installed at the sludge outlet.

[0096] The dosing pipe 13 is equipped with a dosing flow meter 11;

[0097] It also includes a big data analysis and control platform 1 that connects each water quality and quantity monitoring facility 3, each sludge pump 4, each sludge flow meter 5, each microwave sludge concentration meter 6, dewatering equipment 8, dosing pump 9 and dosing flow meter 11 via communication cable 14;

[0098] The big data analysis and control platform 1 analyzes and calculates the data obtained from the communication cable 14 before performing control, specifically as follows:

[0099] Step 1: The big data analysis and control platform 1 acquires the data accumulated in the early stage;

[0100] The initial data accumulation consists of historical data or data obtained through simulation using the mechanistic model formula 2, specifically including:

[0101] The influent / effluent flow rate, SS, pH / ORP, BOD, COD, NH3-N, TP, and TN of each part of the wastewater treatment facility 2.

[0102] The operating status, frequency, and power of the dosing pump 9, the dewatering equipment 8, and each sludge pump 4.

[0103] Instantaneous values ​​for each microwave sludge concentration meter 6 and each sludge flow meter 5;

[0104] Step 2: Establish a basic database and store the previously accumulated data into the basic database;

[0105] Step 3: Search the basic database to determine if each set of data is complete; if any set of data has missing values, search the next set of data; if any set of data is complete, perform the subsequent steps for each complete set of data.

[0106] Step 4: Search the basic database and perform distortion and compliance checks on each complete set of data;

[0107] Step 5: Establish an effective database by storing all complete group data that have passed the distortion and compliance checks into the effective database;

[0108] Step 6: Perform data preprocessing and dimensionality reduction on all data within the valid database;

[0109] Step 7: Perform cluster analysis and association rule analysis;

[0110] Step 8: Establish a machine learning operation model through big data analysis and robot learning methods, and provide a variety of sludge discharge and dewatering chemical control strategies to meet the standards for effluent, sludge discharge and dewatering solids content.

[0111] Step 9: Using a low-carbon assessment model, conduct a low-carbon assessment of all sludge discharge and dewatering chemical dosing control strategies, provide the carbon emission value for each sludge discharge and dewatering chemical dosing control strategy, and provide the optimal control strategy.

[0112] Step 10: Run the completed big data decision optimization control model, i.e. the optimal control strategy, on the big data analysis and control platform 1.

[0113] In this invention, the water quality and quantity monitoring facility 3, sludge pump 4, sludge flow meter 5, microwave sludge concentration meter 6, dewatering equipment 8, and dosing pump 9 are connected to the big data analysis and control platform 1 via communication cable 14. The big data analysis and control platform 1 analyzes and calculates the obtained data before controlling it to achieve the requirements of intelligent and low-carbon operation.

[0114] The big data analysis and control platform 1 achieves advanced control by integrating mechanistic and mathematical principles through data preprocessing, data dimensionality reduction, cluster analysis, association rule analysis, machine learning operation model construction and expert decision optimization model, while also incorporating mechanistic models and low-carbon assessment models.

[0115] In practical applications, the sludge discharge concentration is detected by a microwave sludge concentration meter 6 before being discharged into a sludge storage tank, thickening tank, or conditioning tank 7.

[0116] The operation of the dewatering equipment 8 and the dosing pump 9 is controlled based on the data collected by the microwave sludge concentration meter 6 and sludge flow meter 5 between the dewatering equipment 8 and the sludge storage tank, thickening tank or conditioning tank 7. The accurate dry basis of sludge treatment is calculated by the microwave sludge concentration meter 6 and sludge flow meter 5, which serves as an important basis for dewatering and dosing.

[0117] The big data analysis and control platform 1 discharges sludge as needed based on the sludge concentration collected by the microwave sludge concentration meter 6, which can reduce the load on subsequent sludge pumps 4, sludge storage tanks, thickening tanks or conditioning tanks 7 and dewatering equipment 8, and can extend the service life of these devices and reduce energy consumption.

[0118] A microwave sludge concentration meter 6, installed at the sludge outlet of the dewatering equipment 8, monitors in real time whether the solids content of the dewatered sludge meets the requirements and provides feedback to the big data analysis and control platform 1, forming a closed loop.

[0119] The sludge flow meter 5 installed in the dosing pipe 13 is used to monitor the dosing flow rate, so as to realize the precise control of the dosing amount of the dosing pump 9 by the big data analysis and control platform 1.

[0120] This invention continuously optimizes and achieves precise control of sludge discharge and dewatering dosing through basic mathematical models and analysis of historical operation and control data. By accurately monitoring sludge concentration in real time online, and controlling sludge discharge and dewatering dosing based on the amount of absolutely dry sludge (the product of concentration and flow rate), it can stabilize the moisture content of discharged and dewatered sludge, reduce the total amount of sludge discharged, return flow, treatment volume, dosage, energy consumption, and manual labor for sampling and testing, thereby saving energy, reducing pollution and carbon emissions.

[0121] In some embodiments, each water quality and quantity monitoring facility 3 is installed in the corresponding pretreatment section 2-1 or advanced treatment section 2-3 via a wastewater sampling pipe 31;

[0122] The sludge pump 4, dewatering equipment 8, dosing pump 9, sludge flow meter 5 and microwave sludge concentration meter 6 installed on sludge pipe 12 between sludge pump 4 and dewatering equipment 8, sludge flow meter 5 installed on dosing pipe 13 between dosing pump 9 and dewatering equipment 8, and microwave sludge concentration meter 6 at the sludge outlet of dewatering equipment 8 constitute an intelligent sludge discharge and dewatering dosing control module 10.

[0123] In some embodiments, each sludge pump 4 and dosing pump 9 is a variable frequency pump.

[0124] Each sludge pump 4 and dosing pump 9 is a variable frequency pump, which makes it easier to accurately control the amount of sludge discharged and the amount of chemicals added.

[0125] In practical applications, the starting sludge concentration D for each sludge pump 4 is... Q Concentration D when pump is stopped Z It can be set manually or calculated through a big data analysis and control platform.

[0126] Pump start-up sludge concentration D Q Concentration D when pump is stopped Z The specific formula varies depending on the scale and process of the wastewater treatment plant, and can also be based on the total amount of sludge designed for the plant area, with the sludge concentration at each discharge point calculated in reverse.

[0127] Pump start-up sludge concentration D Q For every 0.1% increase or decrease in TDS, the sludge pump control frequency increases or decreases by m accordingly. m is generally between 1Hz and 3Hz. The value of m can be set manually or calculated through the big data analysis and control platform 1.

[0128] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the big data analysis and control platform 1 includes a hardware support layer, a data support layer, and an application service layer;

[0129] The hardware support layer provides the necessary supporting hardware for the big data analysis and control platform 1, including server 101, storage device 102, communication device 103, computer 104, display device 105, and instruments and meters including water quality and quantity, sludge concentration and flow rate and chemical dosing flow rate.

[0130] The data support layer classifies and stores the collected data, and establishes corresponding models to process, analyze, calculate and evaluate the data, including a basic database 111, an effective database 112, a mechanism model 113, a low-carbon assessment model 114 and a big data decision optimization and control model 115.

[0131] The application service layer provides data display and interaction for wastewater treatment plant supervisors, including display of calculation results 121, display of energy-saving effects 122, monitoring and management of various sludge dewatering and dosing equipment 123, and human-computer interaction 124.

[0132] In some embodiments, step 4 is specifically as follows:

[0133] Step 4.1: Determining whether each set of data is distorted means judging whether the dosage data Q0 satisfies the following formula; if it does not, the data is distorted; if it does, continue to the next step.

[0134]

[0135] Among them, Q y This refers to the dosage of the medicine.

[0136] Both x% and y% are valid judgment standard coefficients, with values ​​ranging from 10% to 50%.

[0137] Step 4.2, the specific judgment for whether each set of data meets the standard is as follows:

[0138] If any one or more of the following parameters in a set of data at any sampling time is not up to standard: SS, pH / ORP, BOD, COD, NH3-N, TP, TN, then the control strategy of sludge pump 4 at the previous sampling time is not advisable.

[0139] If the microwave sludge concentration meter 6 at the sludge outlet of the dewatering equipment 8 detects that the sludge moisture content is not up to standard in any set of data at any sampling time, then the dosage control strategy at the previous sampling time is not advisable.

[0140] Step 4.3: Summarize all group data that passed the distortion and compliance tests.

[0141] In practical applications, the interval between two adjacent sampling times can be set according to requirements.

[0142] In some embodiments, the dosage value Q y The calculation is performed using a mechanistic model formula, as follows:

[0143]

[0144] Among them, Q y For t n Instantaneous flow rate of the drug during a given time period, in units of m³. 3 / h;

[0145] F t The instantaneous sludge flow rate at time t is the inlet flow rate of the dewatering equipment (unit: m³ / s). 3 / h;

[0146] D t The sludge concentration at time t is the inlet sludge concentration of the dewatering equipment at time 8, in %;

[0147] For t n Dry sludge volume over a given period;

[0148] D y The concentration of the prepared reagent is expressed in %;

[0149] k is the dosing coefficient, which is the ratio of dry mud quantity to dosing quantity. The general empirical value is 3 to 5.0, and it can be adjusted.

[0150] In some embodiments, in step 6, a discrete normalization process is used to preprocess all data in the effective database;

[0151] The random forest algorithm is used to perform dimensionality reduction on all data in the effective database.

[0152] In practical applications, using discrete standardization to preprocess all data in the effective database can eliminate the impact of differences in the dimensions and value ranges of various production parameters.
