Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly relates to a gas-lift loop flow measurement method for an aeration sedimentation integrated tank. BACKGROUND

[0002] The aeration sedimentation integrated tank, as a water treatment device integrating aeration and sedimentation functions, plays an important role in modern sewage treatment processes. The gas-lift loop reactor, as a core component of the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, realizes efficient mixing and mass transfer processes through the introduction of gas and the driving of loop flow, which is crucial for improving the treatment efficiency. However, the accurate measurement of the gas-lift loop flow has always been a technical difficulty in this field.

[0003] Currently, there are various methods for measuring the gas-lift loop flow, but each has obvious shortcomings. Although the PIV technology, as a non-contact fluid velocity measurement method, has the advantages of high precision and visualization, in the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, due to the special structure of the airlift bioreactor, the tracer particles have multidimensional motion, resulting in uneven flow velocity, which makes it difficult for the PIV technology to accurately measure the flow;

[0004] The volume expansion height method calculates the gas holdup by measuring the change in liquid volume expansion height caused by gas injection, and then estimates the flow of the gas-liquid two-phase. Although this method is simple and intuitive, in actual application, due to the complex structure of the airlift bioreactor of the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, the flow state of the gas-liquid two-phase is difficult to accurately describe, so the error of this method in the measurement of the gas-lift loop flow is large;

[0005] The electrical conductivity pulse tracer method uses the change of electrical conductivity as a tracer to determine the circulation speed of the liquid by measuring the change of electrical conductivity over time. However, in actual application, the change of electrical conductivity is disturbed by various factors, such as temperature, pressure, solution composition, etc., which may lead to inaccurate measurement results;

[0006] The dynamic dissolved oxygen method evaluates the gas-liquid mass transfer performance by measuring the change of dissolved oxygen in water, thereby indirectly reflecting the flow characteristics of the gas-lift loop. However, in the aeration sedimentation integrated tank, the change of dissolved oxygen is not only affected by the gas-liquid mass transfer, but also disturbed by various factors such as aeration air volume, pollutants, activated sludge, etc., so it is also difficult for this method to evaluate the gas-lift loop flow of the airlift bioreactor of the aeration sedimentation integrated tank.

[0007] In summary, the current gas-lift loop flow measurement methods have large errors in precision and application range, and cannot meet the demand for accurate measurement in complex reactor environments.

[0008] Therefore, the present application provides a gas-lift loop flow measurement method for an aeration sedimentation integrated tank to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
