Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rural water supply technology, and in particular to a flow-through rural decentralized water supply water quality purification and pipeline biofilm cultivation device and method. Background Technology

[0002] The newly promulgated GB5749-2022 "Standards for Drinking Water Quality" has removed some water quality indicators and limits for small-scale centralized and decentralized water supply in rural areas from GB5749-2006. Urban and rural areas now adhere to a unified drinking water quality standard, placing higher demands on rural water supply quality assurance. Rural decentralized water supply often uses groundwater, spring water, and mountain streams as sources, resulting in relatively good water quality. The main problem is microbial contamination, with turbidity rising due to factors such as rainfall. Sedimentation and disinfection can be used to purify the water. However, currently, rural decentralized water supply often involves no disinfection or intermittent chlorination, frequently leading to severe microbial contamination in tap water or excessive chlorination resulting in the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts. There is a lack of suitable and optimized disinfection processes for rural decentralized water supply. Simultaneously, the growth and shedding of biofilms in water supply pipelines can easily cause microbial growth in the water, leading to secondary pollution and severe exceedances of microbial indicators in tap water. Therefore, the synergistic control of water quality purification and biofilm growth in rural decentralized water supply pipelines has attracted widespread attention.

[0003] Biofilms are important carriers of pathogenic microorganisms in water supply systems, and their growth and shedding are mainly affected by factors such as disinfection methods and dosages, water quality, pipe materials, and water flow rates. Currently, the collection and analysis of biofilms in actual rural decentralized water supply pipelines relies primarily on replacing abandoned water supply pipes, lacking cultivation devices and methods for biofilms in rural decentralized water supply pipelines under different disinfection methods or pipe materials. Most existing biofilm cultivation devices are laboratory simulation devices such as circular reactors and concentric reactors, or scaled-down simulation devices of circulating urban pipe networks, which differ significantly from the characteristics of actual pipelines and cannot accurately reflect the true state of biofilm growth in rural water supply pipelines. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible, convenient, widely applicable, and adaptable decentralized water supply water purification and pipeline biofilm cultivation device and method that can be selected from multiple disinfection methods or pipe materials, allows for adjustable flow rates, and is tailored to the realities of rural areas. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a flow-through type rural decentralized water supply water purification and pipeline biofilm cultivation device and method, comprising: a submersible pump 1, an electrical control box 5 installed on the submersible pump 1, a sand filter tank 2 installed on one side of the submersible pump 1, a water storage tank 4 installed on the side of the sand filter tank 2 away from the submersible pump 1, a bypass pipe 3 connecting each pair of the submersible pump 1, the sand filter tank 2, and the water storage tank 4, and a stirring and disinfection water tank 7 installed on the side of the water storage tank 4 away from the sand filter tank 2. A valve 14 is installed on one side away from the water storage tank 4. A flow control pump 12 is installed between each pair of the water storage tank 4, the stirring disinfection water tank 7, and the valve 14. A concentrated disinfectant tank 6 is installed on the stirring disinfection water tank 7. A flow meter 13 is installed on the side of the valve 14 away from the flow control pump 12. A flow-through water supply pipe 8 is installed on the side of the flow meter 13 away from the valve 14. A flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, a multi-slide biofilm sampling device 10, and a sampling port 11 along the pipe are respectively installed on the flow-through water supply pipe 8.

[0053] In this embodiment, the submersible pump 1 is activated to draw source water into the sand filter tank 2 for filtration and turbidity removal, and then into the water storage tank 4. Alternatively, when the turbidity of the source water is below 0.2 NTU, the source water directly enters the water storage tank 4 through the bypass pipe 3. When the water level in the water storage tank 4 is less than 1 / 3 of its capacity, the electrical control box 5 automatically controls the activation of the submersible pump 1 to replenish the tank. Water exits from the bottom 0.5 m of the water storage tank 4 and is drawn by the flow control pump 12 into the stirring disinfection water tank 7, which is equipped with a concentrated disinfectant tank 6, and the disinfection contact time is adjusted. Sufficient concentrated sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) disinfectant is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6 in advance, and the stirring disinfection water tank 7 has a built-in agitator to ensure sufficient disinfection contact for 30 minutes. The flow control pump 12 adjusts the addition rate of the concentrated solution to achieve a preset residual chlorine level of 0.3–0.5 mg / L in the outlet water of the stirring disinfection water tank 7. Without activating the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 at the water supply pipe and faucet end, a single NaClO disinfection method is adopted. Water from the agitated disinfection tank 7 is directly supplied to the flow-through water supply pipe 8. The flow rate in the water supply pipe is adjusted to a preset velocity of 0.1 m / s via a flow control pump 12, flow meter 13, and valve 14. Before starting the device, the flow-through water supply pipe 8 is constructed of polyethylene (PE) pipe with threaded connections in an S-shape. Biofilm carriers made of polypropylene (PP), stainless steel (SS), and copper (Cu) are pre-assembled onto the biofilm sampling device and fixedly installed on the side of the water supply pipe. The device is then continuously operated, and water samples are periodically taken from the faucet and along the pipe to analyze the changes in water quality in the rural decentralized water supply system under NaClO disinfection. Figure 7 The figure shows the change in total bacterial count in rural decentralized water supply under single NaClO disinfection, with no disinfection treatment as a control. Simultaneously, the piston assembly 16 of the biofilm sampling device along the pipeline was periodically removed to obtain circular slides and square slides of different materials from different pipe materials under single NaClO disinfection. Further analysis of the biofilm growth characteristics was conducted, such as... Figure 8 The image shows the morphology of the biofilm on PP and SS pipes under the single NaClO disinfection effect.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the multi-slide biofilm sampling device 10 includes a water supply pipe connecting component 17, a circular biofilm slide 15 is provided on one side of the water supply pipe connecting component 17, a square slide 18 of different materials is provided in the circular biofilm slide 15, a piston assembly 16 is provided on the side of the circular biofilm slide 15 away from the water supply pipe connecting component 17, and a screw cap 19 is provided at one end of the piston assembly 16.

[0056] In this embodiment, ClO2 concentrate is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6, and the flow rate of the ClO2 concentrate is adjusted by the flow control pump 12 to achieve a preset ClO2 residue in the disinfectant tank outlet of 0.1–0.3 mg / L. The rest is the same as in specific implementation example 1: the device is continuously operated, and water samples are periodically taken from the tap and along the water supply route to analyze the changes in water quality of the rural decentralized water supply under the action of ClO2 disinfection. Figure 9 The figure shows the change in total bacterial count in rural decentralized water supply under single ClO2 disinfection, with no disinfection treatment as the control. Figure 10 The image shows the morphology of the biofilm on PP and SS pipes under single ClO2 disinfection.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the circular biofilm carrier 15 is made of different materials such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, and its diameter is the same as the diameter of the opening on the side of the pipe wall. It can also be vertically inserted into the square carrier 18 of different materials. The piston assembly 16 can be directly embedded into the circular biofilm carrier 15 and fixed with a screw cap 19 of the same size. The water supply pipe connecting component 17 is connected and fixed to the side of the water supply pipe by threaded connection. The multi-carrier biofilm sampling device 10 is deployed every 5 to 10 meters along the water supply pipe. By changing the material of the biofilm carrier, when it is necessary to collect biofilm, the piston assembly 16 of the biofilm sampling device can be directly disassembled to take out the in-situ circular biofilm carrier 15 and the square carrier 18 of different materials.

[0059] In this embodiment, no disinfectant is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6, and the ultraviolet lamps at the water supply pipe and faucet end are kept off. The source water is pumped by submersible pump 1 into the sand filter tank 2, water storage tank 4, and a stirring disinfectant tank 7 (without disinfectant), and then directly into the water supply pipe, delivering it to the faucet. The device operates continuously, periodically taking water samples from the faucet, water samples along the pipeline, and biofilm along the pipeline. The rest is the same as in specific implementation example 1. The results are as follows: Figure 11 The figure shows the changes in total bacterial count in decentralized rural water supply systems without disinfection treatment. Figure 12 The image shows the morphology of biofilm on PP and SS pipes without sterilization treatment.

[0060] Example 4

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, one end of the flow-through water supply pipe 8 is provided with a flow-through ultraviolet disinfection metal casing 22, a flow-through ultraviolet disinfection glass protective cover 21 is provided in the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection metal casing 22, and a flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamp 20 is provided in the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection glass protective cover 21.

[0062] In this embodiment, no disinfectant is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp at the faucet end is kept off. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp before the water supply pipeline is started and kept running continuously. The power of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp before the pipeline is 28 W, and the ultraviolet dose is 40 mJ / cm2. The source water enters the sand filter tank 2, the water storage tank 4, and the stirring disinfection tank 7 without disinfectant via the submersible pump 1. Then it is disinfected by the ultraviolet lamp before the water supply pipeline and then enters the water supply pipeline to be delivered to the faucet. The rest is the same as in specific implementation example 1. The device is continuously operated, and water samples are taken from the faucet, water samples along the pipeline, and biofilm along the pipeline at regular intervals. The results are as follows: Figure 13 The figure shows the change in total bacterial count in rural decentralized water supply systems under UV disinfection before the water supply pipeline, with no disinfection treatment as a control. Figure 14 The image shows the morphology of the biofilm on PP and SS pipes under UV disinfection before the water supply pipeline.

[0063] Example 5

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 15 As shown, one end of each of the two flow-through water supply pipes 8 is connected to the two ends of the same side of the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection metal casing 22. The flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamp 20 is installed in the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection glass protective cover 21, and one end of the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection glass protective cover 21 is installed in the flow-through ultraviolet disinfection metal casing 22.

[0065] In this embodiment, no disinfectant is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet disinfection lamps before the water supply pipeline and at the faucet end are activated and kept running continuously. The power of each ultraviolet disinfection lamp is 28 W, and the ultraviolet dose is 40 mJ / cm². The source water is pumped by submersible pump 1 into the sand filter tank 2, the water storage tank 4, and the disinfectant-free stirring disinfection tank 7. After being disinfected by the ultraviolet lamps before the water supply pipeline, it enters the water supply pipeline, then undergoes ultraviolet disinfection at the faucet end, and finally reaches the faucet. The rest is the same as in specific implementation example 1. The continuously operating device periodically collects water samples from the faucet, water samples along the pipeline, and biofilm along the pipeline. The results are as follows... Figure 15 The figure shows the change in the total number of bacterial colonies in rural decentralized water supply under dual UV disinfection treatment at the pipe front and tap end.

[0066] Example 6

[0067] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the sand filter tank 2 is covered with pebbles. The lower part of the sand layer is 1-2 mm sand, accounting for 2 / 3 of the total sand, and the upper part of the sand layer is 0.2-0.5 mm sand, accounting for 1 / 3 of the total sand. The sand filter tank 2 is equipped with an overflow pipe 3. When the turbidity of the source water is less than 0.2 NTU, the water is drawn directly through the overflow pipe 3 into the water storage tank 4.

[0068] In this embodiment, a combined NaClO / ultraviolet disinfection treatment is adopted. NaClO is added to the concentrated disinfectant tank 6, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp at the faucet end of the water supply pipeline is turned on and kept running continuously. The water purification efficiency of rural decentralized water supply and the growth characteristics of pipeline biofilm under the combined disinfection of NaClO / ultraviolet are studied. The rest is the same as in specific implementation example 1.

[0069] Example 7

[0070] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the water tank 4 has water intake at the top and sludge discharge at the bottom, with an outlet 0.5 meters from the bottom. The water tank 4 is equipped with a level gauge; when the water volume in the tank is less than 1 / 3, the electrical control box 5 automatically starts the submersible pump 1 to replenish the tank. The stirring disinfection tank 7 is equipped with a concentrated disinfectant tank 6, which can add different disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide for chemical disinfection studies. The disinfectant is pumped in through a flow control pump 12, and the flow rate and concentration of the concentrated disinfectant can be adjusted via the flow control pump 12 and valve 14 to ensure the disinfectant concentration in the outlet water of the stirring disinfection tank 7 meets the requirements. Flow control pumps 12 are installed at both the front and rear of the stirring disinfection tank 7 to control the hydraulic residence time to meet the required disinfection contact time. The stirring disinfection tank 7 has a built-in mixer, which mechanically agitates the water to ensure sufficient contact between the water and the disinfectant.

[0071] In this embodiment, a single NaClO disinfection treatment is adopted, but the source water does not undergo turbidity removal treatment in the sand filter tank 2 and enters the water storage tank, disinfection tank and water supply pipeline directly through the bypass pipe 3. The effect of turbidity on the total number of colonies and the growth of pipeline biofilm in rural decentralized water supply under the single NaClO disinfection is studied. The rest is the same as in specific embodiment 1.

[0072] Example 8

[0073] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, the flow-through water supply pipeline 8 is 30-120 meters long with a diameter of DN25, which is a common length and diameter for rural water supply. Its flow-through, non-circulating design better suits the actual rural water supply situation. The pipeline is arranged in a compact S-shape and is made of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or stainless steel, with threaded connections between pipes. Various biofilm sampling devices 10 and water inlets are installed along the flow-through water supply pipeline 8, and a faucet is installed at the end of the pipeline. A flow control pump 12 and a flow meter 13 are installed before the flow-through water supply pipeline 8 to adjust and monitor the flow rate of the water in the pipeline. Flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 are installed before the flow-through water supply pipeline 8 and at the faucet end, with an ultraviolet dose of 10-40 mJ / cm². These lamps can be turned on and off separately or simultaneously. Single or dual ultraviolet disinfection methods can be designed according to experimental research, and it can also be used in conjunction with disinfectants to form an ultraviolet / chemical disinfection combination process. This is used to conduct research on water quality purification and pipeline biofilm growth control in rural decentralized water supply systems under the comparison of various disinfection methods.

[0074] In this embodiment, the ground-flow water supply pipe 8 can be disassembled and replaced with materials such as PVC or ductile iron, so as to study the influence of different pipe materials on the water purification efficiency of rural decentralized water supply and the growth characteristics of pipe biofilm. The rest is the same as in specific embodiment 1.

[0075] Working principle:

[0076] like Figure 1-15 As shown, submersible pump 1 starts, drawing water from the source and conveying it to sand filter tank 2 for preliminary filtration to remove suspended solids and particles, reducing the turbidity of the water. When the turbidity of the source water is below 0.2 NTU, the water can directly enter the storage tank 4 through bypass pipe 3. The storage tank 4 is equipped with a level gauge. When the water level is below 1 / 3 of the total capacity, the electrical control box 5 will automatically control submersible pump 1 to replenish water, ensuring sufficient water for subsequent treatment.

[0077] Preliminary treated water is pumped from the bottom of the storage tank 4 to the mixing and disinfection tank 7 via the flow control pump 12. In the mixing and disinfection tank 7, the disinfectant (sodium hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide) stored in the concentrated disinfectant tank 6 is added to the water. A mixer ensures that the water and disinfectant are evenly mixed, providing sufficient contact time to guarantee the disinfection effect. The flow control pump 12 and flow meter 13 are used to regulate and monitor the water flow rate in the water supply pipeline, ensuring that the preset flow rate and disinfectant concentration are reached, achieving effective water purification.

[0078] Water passing through the agitated disinfection tank 7 is then transported to the flow-through water supply pipeline 8. Within the flow-through water supply pipeline 8, flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 and various biofilm sampling devices 10 are used for further treatment and monitoring. The flow-through ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 are activated at appropriate times to provide physical disinfection, while the biofilm sampling devices 10 help analyze biofilm growth within the pipeline under different disinfection conditions. During system operation, water samples from faucets and along the pipeline are periodically sampled and analyzed to monitor changes in water quality and total bacterial count. Simultaneously, the piston assembly 16 of the biofilm sampling device 10 can be removed to collect biofilm slides for analysis of biofilm growth characteristics and morphology. These measures ensure water safety and hygiene, providing a research basis for the natural growth and control of biofilm within the pipeline.
