[0002] Against the backdrop of environmental protection and sustainable development, wastewater treatment technology is undergoing unprecedented innovation. Traditional wastewater treatment monitoring has problems, necessitating technological innovation to improve treatment efficiency and reduce costs. Algal membrane reactors, combining physical filtration, adsorption, and biodegradation, can effectively remove pollutants from water sources, especially nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus; microalgae photosynthesis produces oxygen, reducing system aeration intensity and saving energy. Furthermore, the attached growth system requires less energy input to recover biomass.

[0003] Algal membrane reactors, as a cutting-edge water and wastewater treatment technology, have attracted widespread attention due to their unique advantages. However, existing algal membrane reactors still have the following drawbacks: the algal species are currently fixed, and the selection of algal species is done manually. However, in practical applications, the pollutants in wastewater are uncertain. When faced with complex or diverse pollutants, overfitting is likely to occur, meaning that the model performs well on training data but has poor generalization ability on new data, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of wastewater treatment.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an algal membrane reactor, a decontamination optimization method, an online monitoring method, and related equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Step S2: Add pure microalgae stock solution using a dosing pump;

[0018] Step S3: Use a blower to aerate and agitate the algae-water mixture to support the growth of microalgae;

[0061] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the algal membrane reactor described in this embodiment includes an aeration system, a light system, a microalgae cultivation system, a membrane separation system, a water production tank, an algae production tank, a water pump, and an intelligent control system.

[0062] The aeration system provides oxygen to the microalgae cultivation system through a blower to support the photosynthesis and growth of the microalgae, while simultaneously stirring the algae-water mixture to ensure full contact between the microalgae and the wastewater, thereby improving treatment efficiency.

[0063] The lighting system provides the light source needed for microalgae growth, promotes photosynthesis, converts light energy into chemical energy, and helps remove organic matter and nutrients from wastewater.

[0064] The microalgae cultivation system, as the main site for microalgae growth, provides a suitable environment for microalgae to grow and reproduce by adding pure microalgae stock solution, while treating pollutants in wastewater.

[0065] Membrane separation systems utilize ultrafiltration membrane materials to efficiently separate microalgae from treated water, achieving algae-water separation. This allows the treated water to be reused or further treated, while the microalgae are collected for other uses.

[0066] The product water tank collects the clean water treated by the membrane separation system. This water can be reused or discharged, or returned to the front end of the treatment process for further treatment.

[0067] Algae production tanks collect concentrated microalgae, which can be further processed, such as centrifuged for concentration, and then stored or transported for use as feed.

[0070] The entire algal membrane reactor is designed to achieve high efficiency and automation in wastewater treatment by integrating these components, while simultaneously recovering valuable microalgal biomass and realizing resource recycling. Specifically: wastewater flows into the microalgae cultivation system (photobioreactor) by gravity, pure microalgae stock solution is added by a dosing pump, a blower aerates and agitates the algae-water mixture, the expanded algae-water mixture enters the membrane tank, a backwash pump draws out the effluent, which is then reused or returned to the upstream advanced treatment unit.

[0077] Step S6: The backwash pump draws out the effluent, which can be reused or returned to the front-end deep treatment unit.

[0078] Step S7: Algae Concentration and Storage. The concentrated algae solution enters the algae tank, is centrifuged and concentrated, and stored for external use as feed.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown in the example, the parts not detailed in this embodiment are as shown in Example 1. This embodiment provides a decontamination optimization method for an algal membrane reactor, including the following steps:

[0081] Step A1: Obtain the water quality characteristics of the wastewater to be treated and determine the main pollutants that need to be removed from the wastewater;

[0082] Step A2: Screen algae species from existing algae species to remove the main pollutants;

[0083] Step A3: Algal strain adaptation training. Adaptation training is conducted on the selected algal strains to obtain their growth and pollutant removal capabilities in specific wastewater environments.

[0084] Step A4: Under laboratory conditions, conduct small-scale experiments on algae strains to optimize key parameters for wastewater treatment. Key parameters include total phosphorus removal rate, total nitrogen removal rate, high salt ion removal rate, and biomass accumulation.

[0085] It should be noted that laboratory conditions include hydraulic retention time, aeration rate, reaction system temperature, and light intensity. The laboratory environment is adjusted by changing these variable parameters.

[0086] Step A5: Repeat steps A1-A4 until a suitable algal species for treating the current wastewater is obtained, and design an algal membrane reactor based on the algal species.

[0087] Step A6: Optimize algal growth conditions by controlling reaction system parameters: these parameters include hydraulic retention time, aeration rate, reaction system temperature, and light intensity.

[0088] Step A7: Based on adjusting the hydraulic retention time and aeration rate, obtain the key parameters of the algae species in treating wastewater under the current wastewater environment; evaluate whether the algae are efficient in treating the wastewater based on the key parameters;

[0089] Step A8: Assess whether the algal strain is suitable for treating the wastewater; if not, return to step A6 for algal strain screening; if yes, record the experimental parameters and the preserved algal strain.

[0090] Example 3

[0091] like Figure 3As shown in Example 2, the parts not detailed in this embodiment are described below. This embodiment provides an online monitoring method for effluent water quality based on an algae membrane reactor. By monitoring water quality indicators online and automatically adjusting operating parameters according to preset allowable ranges, the stable and efficient operation of the reactor is ensured. The method includes the following steps:

[0092] Step B1: Start the reactor and begin operating the algal membrane reactor;

[0093] Step B2: Based on the results of the laboratory pilot experiment, preset the operating parameters of the reactor;

[0094] Step B3: Based on the treatment objectives and discharge standards, set the allowable range of effluent water quality indicators;

[0095] Step B4: Use a water quality monitoring probe to monitor the water quality indicators of the reactor effluent in real time;

[0096] Step B5: Determine water quality indicators by comparing the monitored water quality indicators with the preset allowable range; if the water quality indicators are not within the preset allowable range, the reactor's operating parameters will be automatically adjusted via the transmission controller.

[0097] Step B6: If the water quality indicators meet the preset range, keep the current operating parameters unchanged and continue to monitor the water quality; this emphasizes the importance of automated monitoring and adjustment in the operation of the algae membrane reactor, ensuring the continuity of the treatment process and the stability of the water quality.

[0098] Based on the response mechanism of key parameters of water quality and algae growth, an intelligent operation system was constructed. Microalgae species were determined according to the characteristics of wastewater quality. The ratio of nutrients for algae growth was determined in a small-scale test. The experimental parameters were recorded according to the overall optimization parameters of the effluent quality. The algae species that can effectively treat wastewater were preserved for subsequent application to treat specific wastewater and realize the recycling of resources.

[0099] Specifically, this embodiment cultivates microalgae species that can efficiently remove characteristic pollutants from production wastewater with different water quality characteristics. Through the construction of a self-controlled integrated algal membrane reactor and the establishment of a cloud management platform, it achieves intelligent operation that comprehensively assists in the treatment of wastewater in the food industry.

[0100] To address the persistent pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and high salinity in food industry wastewater resource recovery, a targeted cultivation method using microalgae was employed for the efficient removal of characteristic pollutants from the water. For wastewater with specific water quality characteristics, existing algal strains preserved in the laboratory were screened, and the algae were isolated and purified from the wastewater. The growth of microalgae and their water purification efficiency under specific water quality conditions were investigated using a small-scale laboratory setup. The microalgae strains cultivated in the laboratory that efficiently purify characteristic pollutants possess unique bioactive growth factors. After cell wall disruption, the CGF functional substance in *Chlorella vulgaris* can enhance the regeneration capacity of normal cells by more than 25%, producing higher-quality cells. The effects of different environmental parameters on microalgae growth and pollutant purification efficiency were investigated, and a model was established to provide data models and a theoretical basis for subsequent industrial production applications.

[0101] Microalgae can effectively perform photosynthesis, converting toxic substances such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and phosphate into organic compounds and producing oxygen, thus increasing dissolved oxygen levels. The laboratory-cultured microalgae strain MAR-73I I achieved a COD removal rate of 70%–73%, a total nitrogen removal rate of 70%–85%, a total phosphorus removal rate of 80%–95%, and an ammonia nitrogen removal rate of 60%–72%. The microalgae exhibited good biomass growth, with biomass increasing from an initial 0.3 g / L to a maximum of 1.13 g / L within a 7-day hydraulic retention time. For specific microalgae water purification effects, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5-6 As shown.

[0102] The MAR algal membrane reactor enables continuous flow operation for wastewater treatment. By adjusting the external light source and aeration intensity, the autotrophic and heterotrophic growth processes of microalgae are controlled, enhancing the stability of the wastewater treatment process. The company's independently developed high-flux, anti-fouling novel ultrafiltration membrane material possesses highly efficient separation performance, achieving algae-water separation without disrupting microalgae growth. The low surface energy of the membrane material prevents microalgae from clogging the membrane pores, ensuring that the effluent meets reuse standards.

[0103] The equipment incorporates online monitoring and automated parameter adjustment technology for effluent water quality, integrates with pretreatment technologies such as coagulation sedimentation and filtration, combines water quality indicators such as algae density, nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter, and couples process indicators such as water volume and transmembrane pressure difference to construct an intelligent operation platform.

[0104] Based on real-time data acquisition from the equipment, the oxygen demand and wastewater inflow are accurately calculated, and the parameters of the blower, light source and other parameters are automatically adjusted to achieve stable operation of the biochemical section, reduce energy consumption and chemical consumption and reduce human operation.

[0105] Specifically, the equipment's online monitoring and automated parameter adjustment technology for effluent water quality involves integrating pretreatment technologies such as coagulation sedimentation and filtration, combining water quality indicators such as algae density, nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter, and coupling process indicators such as water volume and transmembrane pressure difference to build an intelligent operation platform. This platform further optimizes the design, operation, and management parameters of the MAR algae membrane process package by incorporating machine learning and other methods.

[0106] Through the cloud platform module, the control center can uniformly command and dispatch, effectively avoiding or reducing economic losses caused by substandard operation and maintenance and production, and significantly reducing operation and maintenance and labor costs. It can also monitor and optimize the entire sewage treatment process, ensuring the efficiency and stability of sewage treatment.

[0107] At the effluent end of the photobioreactor, an online water quality monitoring system is established. This system, centered on online automatic analysis instruments, integrates sensing technology, automatic measurement technology, automatic control technology, computer application technology, and related specialized analysis software and communication networks to form a comprehensive online automatic monitoring system. Based on real-time data acquisition from the equipment, it accurately calculates oxygen demand and wastewater inflow, automatically adjusting parameters such as blowers and light sources to achieve stable operation of the biochemical section, reduce energy and chemical consumption, and minimize manual operation. Figure 7 As shown, intelligent monitoring can maintain the microalgae in the reactor within a healthy range.

[0108] Specifically, this involves real-time monitoring of water quality and wastewater process indicators based on sensors; various sensors are used to monitor physical, chemical, and biological parameters in water in real time. Common sensors include water temperature sensors, pH sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, chemical oxygen demand (COD) sensors, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) sensors, and ammonia nitrogen sensors.

[0109] A smart operation platform for MAR wastewater treatment equipment is constructed, enabling unified command and dispatch from the control center. This effectively avoids or reduces economic losses caused by substandard operation and maintenance, and significantly reduces operation and maintenance and labor costs. The platform provides a clear view of the production status of each process stage of the wastewater treatment equipment through a visual process display, assisting managers in accurately controlling the plant's operational status. Equipment management is visualized and digitized, facilitating optimal utilization of equipment and personnel and supporting refined management of wastewater treatment operation and maintenance. The cloud platform also provides hierarchical management via mobile APP applications, allowing each wastewater treatment site to view process data and reports for different wastewater treatment projects via mobile internet.
