Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sludge dehydration, and in particular to a process and system for treating urban sludge by coupling chemical filtration aids with mechanical heat and pressure dehydration. Background Art

[0002] Urban sewage is a general term for sewage discharged into urban sewage systems. Urban sewage mainly includes domestic sewage and industrial sewage, which is generally collected by urban drainage pipes and transported to sewage treatment plants for treatment. Domestic sludge is a regular product of sewage treatment. The sludge discharged from sewage treatment contains a large amount of water. A large amount of water brings many difficulties to the subsequent treatment of sludge, which has always been one of the important issues facing municipal management.

[0003] Sludge dehydration is a high-energy consumption and high-investment process. For this reason, urban sludge in my country has not been effectively treated for a long time. At present, the main methods of sludge dehydration are natural evaporation, mechanical dehydration, evaporation drying and chemical dehydration. The natural evaporation method is to spread the sludge into a thin layer on the sludge drying field. Part of the water contained in the sludge evaporates naturally, and part of it seeps into the soil or filter layer. This method is simple and easy to manage, but it occupies a large area, takes a long time, is greatly affected by the climate, has poor sanitary conditions, and is not effective for some sludge that is not easy to dehydrate. Mechanical dehydration uses mechanical pressure to squeeze out the interstitial water in the sludge. This method has a low dehydration rate and the sludge moisture content is as high as 70% to 80%. The sludge is large in volume and unstable. It is not suitable for direct use and landfill. Incineration is easy to cause secondary pollution and requires secondary dehydration. Evaporation drying dehydration uses heating to evaporate the sludge moisture. This method has a high dehydration rate and the sludge moisture content is below 40%, but it consumes a lot of energy, requires a large investment, occupies a large area, and has high operating costs. Chemical dehydration uses chemicals to destroy the dehydration structure, reduce the affinity between mud and water, and improve the sludge concentration and dehydration performance. This method has a good dehydration effect and the sludge moisture content is below 40%, but the cost of the chemicals is relatively high.

[0004] Therefore, developing low-cost and high-efficiency sludge dewatering methods has become the key to reducing sludge treatment costs and is also a key technical issue in sludge treatment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a process and system for treating municipal sludge by chemical filtration aid and mechanical heat-pressure coupling dehydration, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

A steam switching valve is installed on the pipeline between the steam generating device and the hot-pressing dehydration device.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes:

[0011] A wastewater purifier is used to purify the water removed from urban sludge.

[0012] Preferably, the steam generating device is a boiler.

[0013] A process for treating municipal sludge by chemical filtration aid and mechanical heat-pressure coupling dehydration, comprising the following steps:

[0014] a. The municipal sludge and chemical filter aids are put into the sewage pre-treatment device and fully stirred. The mixed municipal sludge is sent to the hot pressure dehydration device, and the hot pressure dehydration device is sealed;

[0015] b. Steam switch valve, which introduces steam into the hot-press dehydration device to heat the municipal sludge to the process temperature. The steam generated by the steam generating device is in direct contact with the municipal sludge for heating. The hot-press dehydration device is used to couple chemical filtration and mechanical hot-pressing dehydration and shaping of the municipal sludge;

[0016] c. De-mould the dehydrated and shaped sludge and send it to the finished product warehouse after cooling.

[0017] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0018] d. When the water impurities removed by the hot pressure dehydration device are too much, they are purified by the wastewater purifier before discharge.

[0019] Preferably, the operating temperature of the hot pressing dehydration device is 150-220°C.

[0020] Preferably, the working pressure of the hot pressing dehydration device is 5MPa-12MPa.

[0024] 2. The temperature and pressure in the hot-press dehydration device are adjustable, which can better adapt to the fluctuation of the moisture content of the sludge in the sewage treatment plant.

[0025] 3. The moisture content of the filter cake after dehydration can be reduced to below 20%, which can reduce the cost of urban sludge treatment and reduce environmental pollution.
