Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and more specifically, relates to a method and apparatus for low-carbon ultra-deep denitrification of urban wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Excessive nitrogen content in wastewater is a key factor contributing to eutrophication. To prevent this environmental problem, wastewater must undergo denitrification treatment before being discharged into natural water bodies. Especially for sensitive water bodies, wastewater discharge standards are more stringent, making advanced denitrification treatment of urban wastewater an inevitable trend.

[0003] For municipal wastewater treatment plants employing traditional denitrification processes, a common practice for achieving advanced denitrification is to add denitrification filters. For example, the Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant successfully reduced its effluent TN concentration to below 4 mg / L by installing a post-denitrification filter. However, operating a denitrification filter not only requires the addition of an extra carbon source, increasing operating costs, but also expands the footprint of the reaction tank, which is a disadvantage in urban areas with limited land resources. Given the necessity of advanced denitrification for municipal wastewater, and the cost and technical challenges of upgrading wastewater treatment plants, exploring a simple, efficient, and economical process upgrade solution is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for low-carbon, ultra-deep denitrification of urban wastewater includes the following steps: Wastewater is transported into a biological treatment tank, which comprises a three-compartment anaerobic zone, a two-compartment aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, and a two-compartment post-anoxic zone; activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant is added to the anaerobic zone, aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, and post-anoxic zone of the biological treatment tank; simultaneously, hydroxylamine solution from a hydroxylamine solution tank is pumped into the front end of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone; the sludge-water mixture flowing out from the post-anoxic zone enters a secondary sedimentation tank for sedimentation, achieving sludge-water separation, and the supernatant is discharged; the settled sludge is separated into bottom flow heavy sludge and overflow light sludge by a hydrocyclone separator, the bottom flow heavy sludge enters the front end of the first compartment of the anaerobic zone of the biological treatment tank; a portion of the overflow light sludge enters the front end of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone of the biological treatment tank, and the remaining overflow light sludge is discharged as surplus sludge.

[0007] As one of the preferred technical solutions, in this application, activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant is inoculated into the anaerobic zone, aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, and post-anoxic zone of the biological treatment tank, and a double reflux technology is used to achieve a sludge concentration of 2200 mg / L~2600 mg / L in the anaerobic zone, and 3600 mg / L~4000 mg / L in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone and post-anoxic zone. The sludge concentration in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone is higher than that in the anaerobic zone. The adjustment operation during operation is as follows:

[0008] 1) The flow rate of heavy sludge returned to the anaerobic zone of the biological treatment tank is 60%~80% of the influent flow rate;

[0009] 2) The flow rate of light sludge returned to the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone of the biological treatment tank is 150%~170% of the influent flow rate;

[0010] 3) The total hydraulic retention time of the biological treatment tank system is 7h~10h, of which the total hydraulic retention time of the anaerobic zone is 3h~4h, the total hydraulic retention time of the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone of the biological treatment tank is 2h~3h, and the total hydraulic retention time of the post-anoxic zone of the biological treatment tank is 2h~3h.

[0012] 5) Add hydroxylamine to the front end of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone in the biological treatment tank;

[0013] 6) The system discharges a portion of the light sludge produced by the cyclone separator daily as excess sludge.

[0014] As one of the preferred technical solutions, in this application, in step 4), the aeration / non-aeration time range of the first compartment in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone of the biological treatment tank is from 5min / 9min to 6min / 8min. When the aeration in the first compartment stops, the second compartment starts aeration, and the aeration / non-aeration time range is from 2min / 12min to 4min / 10min.

Each of the seven compartments is equipped with a stirrer. Aeration heads are installed in two compartments of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, connected sequentially to an air volume regulating valve and a blower. Dissolved oxygen probes are also installed in the two compartments of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone. The system includes an online sensor, where hydroxylamine in the hydroxylamine solution tank is pumped into the first compartment of the aerobic-anaerobic alternating zone of the biological treatment tank via a peristaltic pump. Urban sewage enters the biological treatment tank through an inlet valve, and the effluent from the biological treatment tank enters a secondary sedimentation tank for sedimentation, achieving sludge-water separation. The final effluent is discharged through an outlet valve. The settled sludge in the secondary sedimentation tank is pumped into a hydrocyclone separator for separation. The heavy sludge from the underflow is returned to the first compartment of the anaerobic zone of the biological treatment tank via a heavy sludge return valve, and a portion of the overflowing light sludge is returned to the first compartment of the aerobic-anaerobic alternating zone of the biological treatment tank via a sludge return valve. The remaining light sludge is discharged through a residual sludge discharge valve. The agitator, blower, online sensor, peristaltic pump, and water pump are all connected to the control cabinet.

[0016] A device for low-carbon ultra-deep denitrification of urban sewage includes a biological treatment tank, a secondary sedimentation tank, and a hydrocyclone separator connected in sequence. The biological treatment tank consists of a three-compartment anaerobic zone, a two-compartment aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, and a two-compartment post-anoxic zone. The first compartment of the two-compartment aerobic-anoxic alternating zone is connected to a hydroxylamine solution tank. The bottom of the secondary sedimentation tank is connected to the inlet of the hydrocyclone separator. The bottom of the hydrocyclone separator is connected to the first compartment of the anaerobic zone of the biological treatment tank. The top of the hydrocyclone separator is connected to the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone of the biological treatment tank and a residual sludge discharge valve.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. This invention addresses the challenge of low-carbon, low-energy, and highly efficient ultra-deep biological nitrogen removal from urban wastewater. It achieves dual sludge recirculation by incorporating a sludge hydrocyclone separator. Heavy sludge is recirculated to the first compartment of the anaerobic zone, while a portion of the light sludge is recirculated to the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone. This results in a higher sludge concentration in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone compared to the anaerobic zone, providing a sufficient internal carbon source for endogenous denitrification and promoting its development. Only light sludge is discharged as excess sludge, improving the system's sludge settling properties and preventing sludge bulking. Hydroxylamine is added to the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone, further enhancing the system's performance. It has a higher inhibitory capacity against nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and can rapidly achieve short-cut nitrification. Intermittent aeration creates an alternation between aerobic and anoxic conditions. During aerobic aeration, a small amount of nitrite is generated and then consumed by anoxic denitrification, reducing the possibility of NOB growth and avoiding high concentrations of nitrite that inhibit sludge activity. In addition, intermittent aeration can reduce the aerobic oxidation of internal carbon sources, allowing more carbon sources to be used for post-denitrification. On the other hand, by extending the anaerobic and anoxic stages, the internal carbon source storage and endogenous denitrification of denitrifying bacteria can also be enhanced.

[0024] 2. Compared with traditional A 2 Compared with the O process, this invention has the following advantages:

[0025] 1) By adding hydroxylamine inhibitors, the system mainly inhibits the growth of NOB, achieving short-cut nitrification and reducing aeration volume.

[0026] 2) By adopting alternating aerobic and anoxic methods, the oxidation of internal carbon sources by aerobic processes is reduced, and post-anoxic internal denitrification is enhanced to achieve ultra-deep denitrification.

[0027] 3) Using a sludge hydrocyclone separator to achieve dual sludge recirculation increases the carbon source in the sludge in the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone. Discharging light sludge as excess sludge improves sludge settling properties and avoids sludge bulking in the system.

[0028] 4) This process utilizes more carbon sources within the sludge for denitrification, resulting in lower sludge production in the system.

[0029] 5) This process achieves ultra-deep nitrogen removal through short-cut nitrification and endogenous denitrification, resulting in low wastewater treatment costs. It also eliminates the need for additional denitrification filters, thus requiring a small system footprint. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Using the method of this invention, low-carbon municipal sewage and heavy sludge from the lower end of the return swirl separator 3 enter the front end of the first compartment of the anaerobic zone 6 of the biological treatment tank. Microorganisms in the sludge first decompose proteins into amino acids and peptides, and then convert them into internal carbon sources for storage. The sludge-water mixture flowing out of the anaerobic zone 6 of the biological treatment tank and a portion of the light sludge from the upper end of the return swirl separator enter the front end of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone 7 of the biological treatment tank. By adding hydroxylamine and intermittent aeration, short-cut nitrification-endogenous denitrification is achieved. The sludge-water mixture then enters the post-anoxic zone 8 of the biological treatment tank for ultra-deep denitrification. The sludge-water mixture flowing out of the anoxic zone 8 of the biological treatment tank enters the secondary sedimentation tank 2 for sedimentation, achieving sludge-water separation. The supernatant is discharged, and the settled sludge enters the hydrocyclone separator 3 for sorting. The heavier bottom sludge enters the first compartment of the anaerobic zone 6 of the biological treatment tank to replenish the activated sludge in the anaerobic zone 6. A portion of the lighter overflow sludge enters the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone 7 of the biological treatment tank, increasing the sludge concentration in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone 7 and providing more proteins and other extracellular polymers of activated sludge as usable carbon sources, promoting endogenous denitrification. The remaining light sludge is discharged as excess sludge. This invention can achieve low-carbon, ultra-deep denitrification of urban wastewater.

The adjustment procedures during operation are as follows: 1) The flow rate of heavy sludge returned to the anaerobic zone (6) of the biological treatment tank is 60%~80% of the influent flow rate; 2) The flow rate of light sludge returned to the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone (7) of the biological treatment tank is 150%~170% of the influent flow rate; 3) The total hydraulic retention time of the biological treatment system is 7h~10h, of which the total hydraulic retention time of the anaerobic zone is 3h~4h, the total hydraulic retention time of the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone (7) of the biological treatment system is 2h~3h, and the total hydraulic retention time of the post-anoxic zone of the biological treatment system is 2h~3h. 4) The aerobic-anoxic alternation zone (7) of the biological tank system is divided into two compartments. The dissolved oxygen in each compartment is controlled at 1.5±0.5mg / L during aeration. The aeration / non-aeration time range of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone (7) is from 5min / 9min to 6min / 8min. When the aeration in the first compartment stops, the second compartment starts aeration. The aeration / non-aeration time range is from 2min / 12min to 4min / 10min. 5) Add hydroxylamine to the front end of the first compartment of the aerobic-anoxic alternation zone (7) in the biological treatment tank; The theoretical concentration of hydroxylamine in the aerobic-anoxic alternating zone (7) of the biological treatment tank is set at 5 mg / L, and it is added continuously for 4 hours every day. 6) The system discharges part of the light sludge generated by the cyclone separator (3) as residual sludge every day; the sludge retention time is controlled to be 12 to 14 days.
