Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sludge treatment technology, and more specifically, relates to a nomadic sludge solidification production line equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, beach silt treatment mainly involves using cutter suction dredgers for dredging and transporting, followed by solidification processes such as thickening and dewatering. Traditional beach silt cutter suction processes suffer from the following problems: First, silt is easily splashed during the suction process, causing secondary pollution and impacting the surrounding environment; second, solid-liquid separation efficiency is low, and the grading effect is poor, making it difficult to meet the classification and disposal requirements of silt with different particle sizes; third, the high moisture content of the silt leads to poor dewatering, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent treatment. In engineering practice, mechanical cutter suction dredgers are currently used in conjunction with thickening and dewatering equipment for treatment. However, this method suffers from problems such as large equipment size, large footprint, and high construction difficulty, and the process easily generates large amounts of odor and dust, seriously impacting the surrounding environment.

[0062] The specific implementation of the nomadic sludge solidification production line equipment of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0063] The nomadic sludge solidification production line equipment of the present invention mainly consists of five parts: a cutter suction dredging mechanism, a pumping and conveying mechanism, a screening and reduction mechanism, a concentration and sedimentation mechanism, and a pressure filtration and dewatering mechanism. The various mechanisms are connected and sealed through pipes and flanges.
[0064] The cutter suction dredging mechanism mainly consists of a closed-type cutter head and a cutter drive shaft. The closed-type cutter head adopts an integral stainless steel structure with a cylindrical outer shell. The outer diameter of the cylinder is between 450 mm and 650 mm, and the length is 1.8 to 2.2 times the outer diameter. The bottom inlet has a conical structure with a cone angle of 75 to 85 degrees. The bottom diameter of the inlet is 0.6 to 0.7 times the outer diameter of the outer shell, and the top outlet has a diameter of 0.4 to 0.5 times the outer diameter of the outer shell. The internal cutter head uses high-strength materials. Made of wear-resistant alloy steel, the cutter head consists of 6 to 8 spiral cutting blades, each with a spiral angle of 38 to 42 degrees and a blade thickness of 12 to 15 millimeters. The gap between the outer edge of the blade and the inner wall of the outer casing is controlled between 28 and 32 millimeters. The auger drive shaft is made of 45# quenched and tempered steel with a shaft diameter of 80 to 100 millimeters. It is connected to the output shaft of the auger motor via a spline. The auger motor has a power of 22 to 30 kilowatts and a speed of 180 to 220 revolutions per minute. The special structural design of the enclosed auger head not only effectively prevents environmental pollution caused by sludge splashing, but also ensures high sludge suction efficiency and conveying capacity through reasonable gap setting and spiral angle design.
[0065] The pumping and conveying mechanism adopts a twin-screw pump structure, including a pump housing, twin-screw rotor, and transmission mechanism. The pump housing is manufactured using an integral casting process, and the material is QT450-10 ductile iron. The inner diameter of the housing is 180 mm to 220 mm, and the length is 4.5 to 5.5 times the inner diameter. The twin-screw rotor consists of a driving screw and a driven screw, which achieve synchronous counter-rotation through precision meshing gears. The screws are made of 42CrMo after quenching and tempering, with a helix angle of 48 degrees to 52 degrees and a pitch of 1.2 to 1.5 times the outer diameter of the screw. The radial clearance between the screw and the inner wall of the pump housing is controlled between 0.15 mm and 0.25 mm. The transmission mechanism includes a pump motor, a reducer, and a coupling. The pump motor power is 37 kW to 45 kW, and the speed is 980 rpm to 1450 rpm. The speed is reduced to 280 rpm to 320 rpm by the reducer. This twin-screw pump has the advantages of stable delivery, good sealing, and low wear, making it particularly suitable for conveying sludge with a high solids content.
[0066] The screening and volume reduction mechanism is the core component of the entire production line. It adopts a three-stage tandem screening structure. Each screening box is a rectangular structure, manufactured using carbon steel welding technology. The box length is 2400 mm to 2800 mm, the width is 1200 mm to 1500 mm, and the height is 800 mm to 1000 mm. The screens are made of stainless steel woven mesh. The screen aperture diameter of the first-stage screen is 70 micrometers to 75 micrometers, and the screen aperture diameter of the second-stage screen is 55 micrometers to 60 micrometers. The third-stage screen has a mesh diameter of 45 to 50 micrometers and an inclination angle of 15 to 20 degrees. A multi-row spray system is installed above the screen, with fan-shaped nozzles at a spray pressure of 0.3 to 0.4 MPa and a nozzle spacing of 200 to 250 millimeters. A V-shaped guide trough at the bottom of the screening chamber has a 60-degree inclination angle and a bottom width of 100 to 120 millimeters, used to collect the oversize material and guide it into the collection hopper. Simultaneously, a 2.2 kW vibrating motor is installed on the outer wall of the screening chamber, with a vibration frequency of 960 to 1440 rpm. This motor is connected to the chamber via a shock-absorbing device consisting of four sets of spring dampers, each with a stiffness coefficient of 60 to 80 kN / m. This multi-stage screening structure design not only improves screening efficiency but also produces a more uniform particle size product.
[0067] The concentration and sedimentation mechanism employs a conical sedimentation tank structure. The tank body is constructed from welded carbon steel, with the inner wall coated with anti-corrosion material. The top diameter of the sedimentation tank is 3000 mm to 3500 mm, and the total height is 2.0 to 2.5 times the top diameter. The cone bottom angle is 55 to 65 degrees. Eight to ten layers of annular baffles are installed on the inner wall of the tank. These baffles are made of stainless steel, with a thickness of 4 mm to 6 mm, and evenly spaced guide holes with a diameter of 30 mm to 40 mm are formed on the surface of the baffles. The vertical spacing between adjacent baffles is 400 mm to 500 mm. An overflow weir is installed at the top of the sedimentation tank, with an adjustable weir height. It is connected to a storage tank via four to six return pipes, with a diameter of 100 mm to 150 mm. A pneumatic butterfly valve is installed at the conical sludge discharge port, enabling automatic sludge discharge via a PLC control system. This multi-layered baffle structure design significantly improves sedimentation efficiency and reduces sedimentation time.
[0068] The filter press dewatering mechanism adopts a plate and frame filter press structure. The filter press housing is welded from carbon steel profiles, with a length of 4000 mm to 4500 mm, a width of 1500 mm to 1800 mm, and a height of 1800 mm to 2000 mm. The filter plates are made of polypropylene, with dimensions of 1250 mm × 1250 mm and a thickness of 45 mm to 50 mm. The surface of each filter plate has a raised grid depth of 2 mm to 3 mm and a grid spacing of 15 mm to 20 mm. The filter plates are slidably installed in the housing by four guide rods made of 45# steel, with a diameter of 60 mm to 80 mm and a chrome-plated surface. The spacing between adjacent filter plates is 25 mm to 30 mm. The extrusion pressure is provided by hydraulic cylinders with a working pressure of 15 MPa to 20 MPa. The sealing rings on the edges of the filter plates are made of nitrile rubber, with a cross-sectional diameter of 20 mm to 25 mm and a hardness of 65 to 70 Shore A. This filter press structure not only has a large filtration area, but also has a good filtration effect and low moisture content in the filter cake.
[0069] During operation, the sludge suction dredging mechanism is first activated, using a closed-loop cutter head to suction the sludge from the bottom of the pool. The shredded sludge is then transported through a closed pipeline to a screening and reduction mechanism by a twin-screw pump. After three-stage screening, solid particles of different sizes are separated. The oversize material is collected via a guide trough and transported off-site in a closed vehicle. The undersize material enters a concentration and sedimentation mechanism for mud-water separation. The supernatant is returned to a storage tank for recycling. The bottom sludge is dewatered by a filter press to obtain sludge cakes with a moisture content of 40% to 50%. The sludge cakes are then stacked, dried, and transported off-site for disposal. The entire process is conducted in a closed environment, effectively preventing the emission of dust and odors, and meeting environmental protection requirements.
[0070] In practical applications, the nomadic sludge solidification production line equipment of this invention has the following advantages: The closed-loop cutter head design avoids the splashing problem encountered in traditional sludge dredging processes; the use of twin-screw pumps ensures the stability and reliability of sludge transport; the three-stage screening structure improves grading efficiency, resulting in products with uniform particle size; the multi-layer flow-guided sedimentation tank shortens sedimentation time and improves processing efficiency; and the filter press system employs a large-area filter plate design, significantly improving dewatering performance. Furthermore, the entire system adopts a modular design, allowing each processing unit to be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs, demonstrating strong adaptability and widespread application value.
[0071] Based on the above-described specific embodiments, this invention further optimizes and limits the structural parameters of each key component and their interrelationships to improve the overall performance and working efficiency of the equipment.
[0072] In the structural design of a closed-type auger head, to ensure suction efficiency and prevent clogging, the structural relationship between the outer shell and the internal auger was studied in depth. Through fluid dynamics analysis and verification with a large amount of experimental data, the optimal structural parameter relationship was determined: the ratio of the outer diameter to the inner diameter of the outer shell satisfies... The gap h between the spiral cutting blade and the inner wall of the outer shell needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the viscosity of the sludge. A larger value is used when the sludge has a low water content, and a smaller value is used when the water content is high. The ratio of the outer shell length to the outer diameter meets the following requirements. This structural proportion ensures sufficient suction space while avoiding excessive equipment weight. Simultaneously, the shape of the spiral cutting blade needs to satisfy Archimedes' spiral equation r = r0 + kθ, and its derivative equation... This indicates that the pitch coefficient k is a constant, and this design ensures that the cutting blade can cut and transport the silt evenly.
[0073] For the structural optimization of the three-stage screening box, the relationship between the screen inclination angle and screening efficiency was the primary consideration. By establishing a dynamic model of the screen inclination angle and material movement, the optimal inclination angle relationship was determined.
[0074] This angle range ensures that the material slides down evenly under gravity while also allowing sufficient time for thorough screening. The screen mesh size is designed using a geometric progression. This progressive aperture design not only improves classification efficiency but also avoids clogging problems caused by fine particles in single-stage screening.
[0075] The key to a thickening and sedimentation mechanism lies in the structural design of the conical sedimentation tank and the arrangement of the annular baffle. Through fluid dynamics analysis, the optimal structural proportions of the sedimentation tank were determined: the ratio of total height to top diameter satisfies... The cone bottom angle β is controlled between 55 and 65 degrees. To optimize the arrangement of the annular guide vanes, an area reduction coefficient is introduced to ensure that the area ratio of adjacent guide vanes meets the following requirements. Where λ is the area decay coefficient, with a value ranging from 0.1 to 0.2. This gradual change in area ensures sufficient settling area while avoiding secondary suspension of the bottom sludge.
[0076] The core of a filter press mechanism lies in the pressure distribution and spacing control between the filter plates. By establishing a pressure transmission model, the pressure distribution equation at any position on the filter plate is obtained:
[0077] The pressure attenuation coefficient μ needs to be adjusted according to the moisture content of the sludge; at the same time, the ratio of the filter press plate spacing to the total length needs to meet the following requirements. This structural design ensures sufficient filtration area while avoiding seal failure caused by excessive local pressure.
[0078] In the overall production line layout, a complete spatial layout model was established by optimizing the positional relationships between various processing units. The height difference between the centerlines of each processing unit satisfies an arithmetic sequence relationship, and the connecting pipes between adjacent units follow the shortest path principle, with pipe turning angles not exceeding 45 degrees. This layout not only reduces conveying losses but also facilitates equipment maintenance and repair. Simultaneously, the distance between each processing unit also needs to consider process requirements and equipment maintenance space, generally controlled between 1.5 and 2.0 times the maximum size of the equipment.
[0079] The innovations in these optimized designs and parameter constraints are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the structural relationships of each key component are described through rigorous mathematical models, making the design and manufacturing of the equipment more precise and controllable. Second, continuously differentiable mathematical functions are introduced to describe the shape and positional relationships of the components, facilitating parameter optimization and adjustment. Third, exponential relationships are used to describe pressure distribution and area changes, which better reflects actual engineering characteristics. Finally, the determination of the range of each parameter is based on a large amount of experimental data and engineering practice experience, demonstrating strong practicality and reliability. Through these optimized designs, the processing efficiency and operational stability of the equipment are significantly improved, providing a new technical solution for sludge treatment engineering.
[0080] Specifically, the principle of this invention is as follows: The nomadic sludge solidification production line equipment of this invention is based on fluid mechanics, solid-liquid separation, and pressure filtration theories. Through system structural optimization and process innovation, it achieves efficient and environmentally friendly sludge treatment. First, in the design of the closed-type cutter head, the shape and gap of the cutter are optimized using fluid mechanics principles, creating a special flow field structure between the cutting blade and the outer shell. This ensures sufficient shearing action while avoiding splashing caused by eddies. The rational design of the spiral cutting blades, utilizing the spiral propulsion principle, improves the sludge conveying efficiency. Second, in the pumping system, a twin-screw pump structure is adopted. Through the synchronous counter-rotation of the two screws, a closed conveying cavity is formed. Utilizing the volumetric conveying principle, stable sludge conveying is achieved. The special surface design of the screws ensures good sealing while reducing power consumption. In the screening system, based on particle classification theory, through multi-stage series connection and a reasonable screen inclination design, the synergistic effect of gravity and vibration is utilized to improve screening efficiency. Simultaneously, the screen adopts a special weaving structure, ensuring sufficient passing area while avoiding clogging. In the sedimentation system, laminar flow sedimentation theory is utilized, and the multi-layered guide plates extend the water flow path, increase sedimentation time, and improve sludge-water separation. The spiral arrangement of the guide plates creates a stable flow field structure, preventing short-circuiting. In the filter press system, based on capillary action and mechanical filtration principles, the structure and arrangement of the filter plates are optimized to increase the effective filtration area and improve dewatering efficiency. The rational design of the pressure distribution avoids seal failure caused by excessive local pressure. All processing units in the entire system are arranged according to material flow patterns, utilizing gravity transport to reduce energy consumption and improve operating efficiency. Through the application of these innovative technological principles, the environmental pollution problems inherent in traditional sludge treatment equipment have been successfully solved, achieving efficient and environmentally friendly sludge treatment.

The twin-screw rotor is made of 42CrMo heat-treated steel with a helix angle of 50 degrees, a pitch of 282 mm, and a radial clearance of 0.2 mm between it and the inner wall of the pump housing. The transmission mechanism uses a 42 kW pump motor with a speed of 1420 rpm, which is reduced to 295 rpm by a reducer with a reduction ratio of 4.8. The pumping pipeline uses stainless steel pipe with an outer diameter of 219 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm, and the pipeline connection uses DN200 flange connections.
[0085] The three-stage screening chamber of the screening and volume reduction mechanism is made of Q345B carbon steel, with a length of 2650 mm, a width of 1350 mm, and a height of 920 mm. The screens are woven from 904L stainless steel wire, with the first-stage screen having an aperture of 72 microns, the second-stage screen 58 microns, and the third-stage screen 46 microns, and the screen tilt angle is 18 degrees. The spray device uses fan-shaped nozzles with a spray pressure of 0.35 MPa and a nozzle spacing of 220 mm. The guide trough has a V-shaped structure with a wall inclination angle of 60 degrees and a bottom width of 110 mm. The vibrating motor has a power of 2.2 kW and a vibration frequency of 1150 rpm. The shock absorption device uses four sets of spring shock absorbers, each with a spring stiffness coefficient of 72 kN / m.
[0086] The conical sedimentation tank of the concentration and sedimentation mechanism is made of Q345B carbon steel with an epoxy resin anti-corrosion coating on the inner wall. The tank has a top diameter of 3200 mm, a total height of 7360 mm, and a cone base angle of 62 degrees. Nine layers of annular baffles, made of 316L stainless steel (5 mm thick), are installed on the inner wall, with 35 mm diameter baffle holes and a vertical spacing of 460 mm between adjacent baffles. The overflow weir has an adjustable structure and is connected to an 85 cubic meter water storage tank via six 125 mm diameter return pipes.

[0092] Table 3 Filtration parameters for sludge with different solid contents:
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] During actual operation, key process parameters are dynamically adjusted based on on-site monitoring data. During the sludge suction operation, the cutter head burial depth is controlled between 75% and 85% of the sludge layer thickness, and the cutter rotation speed is adjusted between 185 and 205 revolutions per minute depending on the sludge moisture content. The pumping system's working pressure is consistently maintained between 0.8 and 1.2 MPa, with the motor speed adjusted via a frequency converter to adapt to different operating conditions. The screening system maintains optimal grading results by adjusting the vibration frequency and spray pressure, keeping the moisture content of the oversize material below 85%. The sludge interface height in the sedimentation tank is controlled between 2.5 and 3.2 meters via an online monitoring system; the sludge discharge frequency is automatically increased when the interface rises. The filter press system uses a segmented pressurization method, with an initial pressure of 8 MPa, increasing by 2 MPa every 10 minutes until the set pressure is reached.
[0096] During a complete work cycle, the equipment has a processing capacity of 75 to 95 cubic meters of undisturbed sludge per hour. After treatment, the oversize material is divided into three grades according to particle size: the first grade has a particle size greater than 72 micrometers, accounting for 15% of the total; the second grade has a particle size between 58 and 72 micrometers, accounting for 25% of the total; and the third grade has a particle size between 46 and 58 micrometers, accounting for 30% of the total. After sedimentation and pressure filtration, the undersize material has a moisture content reduced to between 42% and 48%, and the sludge cake strength meets the requirements for stockpiling. The residual water generated by the system is treated and reused in the spray system, with the makeup water volume being only 8% to 12% of the total system water volume.
[0097] In terms of environmental protection, strict sealing and deodorization measures are implemented during equipment operation. Air curtains are installed in the suction operation area to prevent the spread of odors. The pumping pipeline adopts a double-layer structure with insulation material filling the middle, providing both thermal insulation and soundproofing. Both the screening and filtration systems are located in sealed chambers, which maintain a slight negative pressure. Exhaust gases are treated by activated carbon adsorption before being discharged in compliance with standards. System operating noise measured at 1 meter from the equipment does not exceed 85 decibels, and vibration levels meet environmental protection requirements.
[0098] The entire treatment project lasted 85 days, treating a total of 138,500 cubic meters of beach silt, with an average daily treatment capacity of 1,629 cubic meters. The equipment operated stably, with a mechanical reliability rate exceeding 98%, requiring only two planned maintenance checks. After treatment, the depth of the beach silt decreased by 0.8 meters to 2.5 meters, and the water quality significantly improved, with transparency increasing 2.5 times. Environmental monitoring showed no secondary pollution during the treatment process, and the air quality in the residential area met standards at 100%, earning praise from surrounding residents.
[0099] The project implementation process accumulated a wealth of practical experience. First, the modular design of the equipment demonstrated significant advantages, facilitating transportation and installation. The weight of a single module was kept below 8 tons, and the maximum size did not exceed 6 meters, making road transport convenient. Second, the application of the automated control system greatly reduced manual operation, with key process parameters automatically adjusted, improving operational efficiency and safety. Third, the equipment's corrosion protection measures were effective; key components used corrosion-resistant materials, and the outer wall was coated with a special anti-corrosion coating, ensuring long-term stable operation. Finally, the equipment was easy to maintain; major wear parts used standard parts, and spare parts were readily available, reducing maintenance costs.
[0100] Example 2:
[0101] Taking a silt treatment project at a coastal city's bathing beach as an example, the total treatment area reached 82,000 square meters. The silt thickness was unevenly distributed, with the deepest point at 4.2 meters, the shallowest at 0.6 meters, and an average thickness of 2.1 meters. The silt contained a large amount of shell fragments and sea sand. Because the treatment area was adjacent to a tourist resort, strict requirements were placed on environmental protection and operating hours, and the impact of sea tides needed to be considered. In this embodiment, the nomadic silt solidification production line equipment was built on two parallel-operating flatbed boats. The main boat was 32.5 meters long and 15.8 meters wide, and the auxiliary boat was 22.5 meters long and 12.5 meters wide, with a total equipment power of 265 kilowatts.
[0102] Considering the unique characteristics of coastal silt, the structural parameters of the enclosed cutter head were optimized. The outer shell adopts a double-layer structure, with an inner layer made of wear-resistant alloy steel and an outer layer made of 316L stainless steel. The outer diameter is 620 mm, the inner diameter is 542 mm, and the total length is 1285 mm. Based on fluid dynamics analysis, the outer shell structure must satisfy the following relationships:
[0103] Where h is the gap between the helical cutting blade and the inner wall of the outer casing, and is taken as 39 mm. The ratio of the outer casing length to its outer diameter satisfies: Sufficient mixing space was ensured.
[0104] The built-in reamer is made of high-chromium tungsten alloy steel and consists of 8 spiral cutting blades. The spiral equation satisfies:
[0105] r = 85 + 26θ, where r is the distance from any point on the helix to the axis (in millimeters), θ is the rotation angle (in radians), the initial radius r0 is 85 mm, and the pitch coefficient k is 26. The blade thickness is 16 mm, and the hardness reaches HRC62. The auger drive shaft is made of 42CrMo material, with a shaft diameter of 108 mm, and is connected to a 38 kW auger motor via a coupling, with an operating speed of 185 rpm.
[0106] The screening and volume reduction system employs a special screen arrangement scheme, with the inclination angles of the three-stage screens meeting the following requirements:
[0107] In the formula, H represents the screen height difference of 580 mm, and L... s The horizontal projected length of the screen is 2636 mm. The ratio of the screen aperture diameters of the three-stage screen meets the following requirements: Where d1 is taken as 75 micrometers, d2 is calculated to be 45.5 micrometers and d3 is 27.6 micrometers. The screening box is made of Q345B carbon steel, with a length of 3200 mm, a width of 1850 mm and a height of 1150 mm.
[0108] The structural parameters of the conical sedimentation tank satisfy the following relationship:
[0109] In the formula H c The total height of the sedimentation tank is 8460 mm, D c The top diameter is 3600 mm, and the cone base angle β is 62 degrees. The area distribution of the annular guide vane satisfies: In the formula S n Let Sn be the area of the nth layer of guide vanes, and S0 be the area of the top layer guide vane, which is 10.18 square meters. A total of 12 layers of guide vanes are installed. The guide vanes are made of 2205 duplex stainless steel, with a thickness of 6 mm and a guide hole diameter of 42 mm.
[0110] The pressure distribution of the filter press system satisfies:
[0111] In the formula, P0 is the feed end pressure (22 MPa), x is the distance from the feed end, and L... p The total length of the filter press plates is 4850 mm. The ratio of the filter press plate spacing to the total length is: Therefore, the spacing between the filter press plates was determined to be 121 mm. The filter press plates are made of modified polypropylene, with dimensions of 1500 mm × 1500 mm and a thickness of 52 mm.
[0112] The equipment demonstrated excellent adaptability during actual operation, especially in treating coastal silt containing shell fragments. The processing data is summarized below.
[0113] Table 4. Operating parameters corresponding to tidal conditions:
[0114]
[0115] Table 5. Screening parameters for different shell contents:
[0116]
[0117] Table 6. Filtration parameters under different salinity conditions:
[0118] salinity(‰) Filtration time (min) Final pressure (MPa) Moisture content (%) 20 to 25 62 18 46 25 to 30 68 19 48 30 to 35 75 20 50 35 and above 82 21 52
[0119] In actual operation, the equipment effectively copes with the challenges brought by tidal changes. During high tide, a stable feed rate is maintained by adjusting the cutter head depth and rotation speed; during low tide, a movable guide channel ensures continuous operation. The system is equipped with automated salinity compensation control, automatically extending the filtration time and increasing the filtration pressure when the feed salinity increases. For areas with high shell fragment content, screen clogging is avoided by increasing the vibration frequency and washing pressure.
[0120] The entire treatment project lasted 125 days, treating a total of 186,500 cubic meters of coastal silt, with an average daily treatment capacity of 1,492 cubic meters. The equipment demonstrated high reliability, with a mechanical integrity rate of 96.5%. The treated coastal area showed a significant reduction in silt depth, a marked improvement in water quality, and has been restored to its scenic function, reopening to tourists. The project accumulated valuable experience in coastal silt treatment, providing important technical references for similar projects.
