Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, in particular to an improved EGSB wastewater treatment device and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The EGSB anaerobic reactor is a new type of anaerobic reactor after the UASB. It consists of a complete system of a water distributor, a three-phase separator, a gas collecting chamber and an external water inlet system. The organic matter in the wastewater entering the EGSB anaerobic reactor through the sewage pump is fully in contact with the sludge at the bottom of the anaerobic tank, and most of it is treated and absorbed. The high hydraulic load and high gas production load make the sludge and organic matter fully mixed. The sludge is in a fully expanded state, and the mass transfer rate is high, which greatly improves the anaerobic reaction rate and organic load. The generated biogas rises to the top and passes through the three-phase separator to separate the sludge, sewage and biogas. The EGSB anaerobic reactor is a new type of reactor developed on the basis of the UASB anaerobic reactor. The EGSB reactor makes full use of the anaerobic granular sludge technology, and provides the reactor with sufficient rising flow rate through external circulation to maintain the expansion of the granular sludge bed and the mixing inside the reactor.

[0003] The existing EGSB anaerobic reactor still has some defects. For example, the wastewater returned through the water distributor is not treated cleanly, which can easily clog the nozzle of the water distributor itself and affect the wastewater treatment effect. Based on this, we designed an improved EGSB wastewater treatment equipment that can clean the nozzle of the water distributor to prevent it from clogging and stir the wastewater.
