Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification. However, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustration and description purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0047] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] The traditional anaerobic reactor is basically a fully mixed integrated reactor. The reaction zone and the three-phase separator are in the same space, and the position relationship is up and down. The three-phase separator is located above the reaction zone. The three-phase separator is limited by the narrow slit flow rate. The mud-water separation effect is easily disturbed by gas production and rising flow rate, which can easily lead to sludge loss. The design of the anaerobic three-phase separator is a complex process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. In practical applications, flexible adjustments and optimized designs should be made according to specific circumstances to achieve the best treatment effect and operational stability. At the same time, regular maintenance and overhaul are also important measures to ensure the normal operation of the three-phase separator.

[0049] Traditional three-phase separators still have some defects in actual operation: over time, sediment may accumulate inside the separator, causing fouling and blockage; if the gas flow rate is too fast, liquid may be brought into the gas outlet; the gas flow rate affects the sedimentation of sludge and the clarification and separation of liquid; solid particles may not be effectively settled due to improper design of the sedimentation zone; and corrosion of the separator will also seriously affect its service life.

[0050] The partitioned sewage treatment device proposed in the present invention can discharge the biogas of each partition directly into the gas space of the gas collection area 3, reduce the interference of biogas on the mud-water separation process in the sorting area 2, and improve the escape efficiency of biogas in the sorting area 2.

[0051] In order to achieve the above effects, two reaction zones are used as an example. Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, the present invention provides a partitioned sewage treatment device, including a reaction zone 1, a gas collection zone 3, a separation zone 2, a partition 4 and a water pipe, the gas collection zone 3 is connected to the reaction zone 1, the separation zone 2 is separated from the reaction zone 1 and the gas collection zone 3 by the partition 4, the reaction zone 1 transfers the mud-water mixture to the separation zone 2 through the water pipe, the separation zone 2 includes a separation zone 21 and a gas channel 22, the separation zone 21 is located at the bottom of the separation zone 2, and the gas channel 22 connects the separation zone 21 and the gas collection zone 3.

[0052] A partitioned sewage treatment device proposed in the present invention can disassemble the traditional three-phase integrated separator into a gas collection area 3 for collecting biogas, a reaction area 1 for treating sewage and a separation area 2 for separating mud and water. The sewage treatment device is divided into several independent partitions by a partition 4. The biogas of each partition is directly discharged into the gas space of the gas collection area 3 to complete separation and collection. Biogas collection is performed at the front end to the greatest extent, thereby reducing the interference of biogas on the mud and water separation process in the separation area 2.

[0053] The present invention proposes a zoned sewage treatment device, in which a gas channel 22 is arranged in the sorting zone 2. The gas channel connects the separation zone and the gas collecting zone at the bottom of the sorting zone, provides a discharge path for the bottom gas, improves the escape efficiency of biogas in the sorting zone, and at the same time prevents the biogas from interfering with the sludge settled in the sorting zone.

[0054] It should be noted that the gas channel 22 is used to guide the biogas generated by the deposited sludge 9 at the bottom of the gas collecting area 3 to the gas collecting area 3, so as to prevent the biogas generated at the bottom from affecting the settling sludge 9. Therefore, the gas channel 22 can have various forms. For example, a connecting pipe is set to help the biogas to be quickly discharged. For example, in another embodiment, a groove and a waterproof plate can be opened on the partition 4, and the rapid discharge of biogas can be achieved through the passage formed by the waterproof plate and the groove.

[0055] It should also be noted that the above embodiments are described by taking an example in which a sorting area 2 is provided with two reaction areas 1, namely a first reaction pool 11 and a second reaction pool 12. In other implementations, a sorting area 2 can also be provided with one reaction area 1, three reaction areas 1, or four reaction areas 1. For example, a reaction area 1 can also be provided with two sorting areas 2, three sorting areas 2, and so on. Accordingly, the gas collection area 3 and the partition 4 can be adaptively adjusted to achieve the coordinated operation of multiple sorting areas 2 and multiple reaction areas 1. Similarly, the above embodiments are described by taking an example in which the gas collection area 3 includes a first gas collection area 31 and a second gas collection area 32. In other embodiments, the number of gas collection areas 3 can also be changed. Similarly, similarly, the above embodiments are described by taking an example in which the precipitation area 23 includes a first precipitation area 233 and a second precipitation area 234. In other embodiments, the number of precipitation areas 23 can also be changed.

[0056] In order to construct a graded sedimentation system, the sorting zone 2 also includes a sedimentation zone 23, which is located above the separation zone 21. The sedimentation zone 23 is connected to the reaction zone 1 through the water pipe. The sludge 9 separated from the sedimentation zone 23 slides to the separation zone 21, and the mud-water mixture is now settled in the sedimentation zone 23 to achieve preliminary solid-liquid separation. During the natural sedimentation process of the reaction zone 1, the amount of mud in the liquid is greatly reduced, thereby improving the sedimentation efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of the sludge treatment device.

[0057] In order to improve the emission efficiency and emission amount of biogas, an air gap is formed on the partition 4 between the sedimentation area 23 and the gas collecting area 3. The biogas generated in the sedimentation area 23 is collected into the gas collecting area 3 through the air gap. There are two biogas channels, the upper and bottom channels, in the sorting area 2, which significantly improves the escape efficiency of biogas.

[0058] There are many ways to provide a gas channel in the separation zone 21, such as providing a connecting pipe to help quickly discharge the biogas. For example, in another embodiment, a groove and a waterproof plate can be provided on the partition 4 to quickly discharge the biogas through the passage formed by the waterproof plate and the groove. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the separation zone 21 is separated from the gas collection zone 3 by a partition 4, and a gap is formed between the inner wall of the partition 4 and the separation zone 21, and the gap includes the gas channel 22. The gas channel 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the partition 4, which has a simple structure and saves manufacturing costs.

[0059] The structure of the gas channel 22 can also be as follows: Figure 2The air guide plate 5 shown is implemented such that a gap passage 51 is formed between the inner wall of the air guide plate 5 and the inner wall of the partition 4, and the gap passage 51 is connected to the gas channel 22. The gap passage 51 is formed between the air guide plate 5 and the inner wall of the partition 4, thereby constructing a specific route for the gas flow and realizing the directionality of biogas escape.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to improve the mud-water separation efficiency of the sedimentation area 23, an inclined tube filler 231 is provided in the sedimentation area 23, and a mud slide plate 211 is provided in the separation area 21. The inclined tube filler 231 is provided above the mud slide plate 211. In this embodiment, in order to save space, the air guide plate 5 and the mud slide plate 211 are combined to form a baffle, and the mud slide plate 211 is provided between the air guide plate 5 and the inclined tube filler 231. One end of the baffle embraces the inclined tube filler 231, and the other end of the baffle is funnel-shaped to collect the precipitated sludge 9. The sludge 9 in the mud-water mixture improves the separation efficiency through the inclined tube filler 2331 and slides to the mud slide plate 211 and the air guide plate 5. The settled sludge 9 is still kept in a fully mixed state through the biogas. The high solid interception mud-water separation device composed of the inclined tube filler 231, the air guide plate 5 and the mud sliding plate 211 is not limited by the narrow slit flow rate of the traditional anaerobic reactor, has a high surface hydraulic load, and greatly improves the mud-water separation efficiency.

[0061] In order to prevent the inclined tube from being blocked by sludge, a backwash pipe 232 is installed below the inclined tube filler 231. The backwash pipe 232 is used to clean the inclined tube filler 231. A backwash system can be set to regularly clean the inclined tube filler 231 through the backwash pipe 232 to ensure the mud-water separation effect.

[0062] In order to fully realize the resource utilization of wastewater, a gas lift reflux pipe 24 is provided in the separation zone 2, and the gas reflux pipe connects the separation zone 21 and the reaction zone 1 to transfer the sludge 9 in the separation zone 21 to the reaction zone 1, so that the microorganisms in the sludge 9 can continue to participate in the decomposition of pollutants and maintain a sufficient microbial concentration in the reaction system. When there are multiple reaction zones 1, a gas lift reflux main pipe 241 merging multiple gas lift reflux pipes 24 is provided on the upper part of the separation zone 1, so as to facilitate the reflux of multiple reaction zones 1.

[0063] The sludge 9 flows back to the reaction zone 1 through the air lift reflux pipe 24 , and the supernatant continues to pass upward through the inclined tube filler 231 and is collected at the outlet weir 81 above the inclined tube filler 231 for discharge.

[0064] In order to realize the visualization of the whole processing device, each reaction area is placed in a tank body 6, an open area 61 is opened on the upper part of the tank body 6, an observation hole 63 is opened on the top of the tank body 6, and a sealing plate 62 is provided in the open area 61 to keep the observation hole 63 in an open state, so as to monitor the reaction conditions in the reaction tank in real time.

[0065] When the mud-water separation device needs to be repaired or the inclined tube filler 231 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to lower the liquid level appropriately and take it out through the observation hole 63 for replacement. The inclined tube filler can be replaced online without cleaning the tank or stopping production, and the operation is convenient.

[0066] When it is necessary to provide an anaerobic environment in the tank, the sealing cover 64 movably installed outside the observation hole 63 is used to seal the entire reaction tank to provide an anaerobic environment. Aeration stirring pipes are provided at the bottom of the reaction zone 1 and the separation zone 21. The aeration stirring pipes continuously inject air into the sewage to increase the content of dissolved oxygen in the water body and accelerate the decomposition and transformation of pollutants. A sampling port 8 is provided outside the tank body to detect the dynamic changes of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia nitrogen, suspended solids, etc., so as to facilitate real-time control of water quality changes.

[0067] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
