Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular to an airlift circulation measurement method for an aeration-sedimentation integrated tank. Background Art
[0002] As a water treatment equipment integrating aeration and sedimentation functions, the aeration-sedimentation integrated tank occupies an important position in modern sewage treatment technology. Its core component, the airlift loop reactor, achieves efficient mixing and mass transfer processes through the introduction of gas and circulation promotion, which is crucial to improving treatment efficiency. However, the accurate measurement of airlift loop flow has always been a technical difficulty in this field.
[0003] At present, there are many methods for measuring airlift circulation flow, but each has obvious shortcomings. Although PIV technology is a non-contact fluid velocity measurement method with the advantages of high precision and visualization, in the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, due to the structural irregularities of the upflow bioreactor, the tracer particles have multi-dimensional movement, resulting in uneven flow velocity, making it difficult for PIV technology to accurately measure;
[0004] The volume expansion height rule is to estimate the gas holdup by measuring the change in liquid volume expansion height caused by gas injection, and then estimate the flow rate of gas and liquid phases. Although this method is simple and intuitive, in practical applications, due to the complex structure of the upflow bioreactor of the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, the flow state of gas and liquid phases is difficult to accurately describe, so this method has a large error in the measurement of airlift circulation flow;
[0005] The conductivity pulse tracer method uses the change of conductivity as a tracer and determines the circulation rate of the liquid by measuring the change of conductivity over time. However, in practical applications, the change of conductivity is interfered by many factors, such as temperature, pressure, solution composition, etc. These factors may lead to inaccurate measurement results.
[0006] The dynamic dissolved oxygen law evaluates the gas-liquid mass transfer performance by measuring the changes in dissolved oxygen in water, thereby indirectly reflecting the flow characteristics of the airlift circulation. However, in an aerated sedimentation integrated tank, the change in dissolved oxygen is not only affected by the gas-liquid mass transfer, but also by multiple factors such as aeration air volume, pollutants, and activated sludge. Therefore, this method is also difficult to use when evaluating the airlift circulation flow of an upflow bioreactor in an aerated sedimentation integrated tank.
[0007] In summary, the current airlift circulation flow measurement method has large errors in accuracy and scope of application, and cannot meet the needs of accurate measurement in complex reactor environments.
[0008] Therefore, the present application provides an airlift circulation measurement method for an aeration and sedimentation integrated tank to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
