[0032] In view of the following description, these and other features of the present specification, as well as the operation and function of the related elements of the structure, and the economy of the combination and manufacture of the parts can be significantly improved. Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification.

[0033] Beer wastewater originates from different process stages of beer production, including saccharification, fermentation, filling, bottle washing and daily sewage, etc. Among them, the wastewater from the saccharification process has the highest organic matter content, with COD of 5000-10000 mg / L, which is weakly acidic wastewater (pH 5-7); the organic matter content of the wastewater from the fermentation process is second, with COD of 2000-3000 mg / L, which is also weakly acidic wastewater (pH 5-7); the organic matter content of the wastewater from the filling process is relatively low; the wastewater from the bottle washing process is mainly alkaline wastewater (pH 8-14).

[0034] The physical and chemical properties of wastewater generated in different process stages vary greatly. Wastewater from saccharification and fermentation processes is mainly discharged intermittently, while filling and bottle washing processes are relatively continuous. In addition, beer production often has the characteristics of off-season and peak season, and the differences in drainage timing and physical and chemical properties of different processes bring great challenges to the stable operation of beer wastewater treatment technology.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the commonly used water treatment process, various types of brewing wastewater in production first enter the regulating tank, and then enter the pretreatment system, anaerobic system, aerobic system, and water outlet unit in turn, and then meet the discharge standards. Compared with the traditional water treatment process, the present invention adds a water inlet regulating unit, which includes a yeast pool and a regulating device. The yeast pool is connected to the pretreatment unit. The yeast pool includes yeast liquid. The regulating device can detect the COD value of the regulating pool and the yeast pool, and adjust the volume of the yeast liquid added to the pretreatment unit based on the detected COD value. By real-time monitoring of the COD value of the waste yeast liquid and the COD value of the wastewater in the regulating tank, the yeast liquid is mixed with the brewing wastewater in the pretreatment stage to achieve the compounding of the wastewater, thereby solving the problem of large fluctuations in the water quality of the wastewater inlet.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to treat waste yeast, the present invention uses waste yeast liquid as yeast liquid. It is understandable that in another embodiment, yeast that has been fermented by beer but is still active can be used. In addition, since the organic matter in the waste yeast liquid can also help the anaerobic unit in the wastewater treatment system to produce more biogas, in another embodiment, organic matter can be added to the regulating system to increase the biogas production of the wastewater treatment system.

[0037] The regulating device includes a front-end COD online monitoring system, a metering pump and a first control system. The COD online detection system is used to detect the COD values ​​of the regulating tank and the yeast tank. The metering pump is connected to the waste yeast tank and the pretreatment unit. The first control system is connected to the COD online monitoring system and adjusts the frequency of the metering pump according to the COD value obtained by the detection, so that the waste yeast liquid is mixed with the brewing wastewater in the pretreatment section to achieve the compounding of the wastewater.

[0038] In order to facilitate the regulation of the COD value of the brewing wastewater inlet, the COD value in the yeast pool used is higher than the COD value of the wastewater in the regulating pool, so as to stabilize the COD value of the brewing wastewater inlet and reduce the fluctuation of the brewing wastewater inlet. The waste yeast liquid used in this embodiment often has a large COD value and can be directly used in the yeast pool. In another embodiment, if the COD value in the yeast pool is too small, industrial wastewater, organic matter and other substances can be added to the yeast pool to increase the COD value in the yeast pool.

[0039] The final water outlet unit is provided with a water outlet buffer tank, which has a water outlet and a water inlet, and the water outlet is higher than the water inlet, so that the water flow of the water outlet buffer tank is from bottom to top and overflows to the external drainage point. Since the general online monitoring system is tested every 2 hours, the volume of the water outlet buffer tank is calculated based on the amount of treated water that can be stored for 2 to 4 hours, which can leave enough buffer time for wastewater treatment.

[0040] A circulation unit is also provided in the water outlet unit, and the circulation unit includes a circulation pump and a circulation pipeline, and the circulation pipeline connects the water outlet unit and the regulating tank. The circulation pump system transports the wastewater in the water outlet unit to the regulating tank through the circulation pipeline to reprocess the overflowed wastewater. The flow rate of the circulation pump is 2 to 3 times the processing volume, which is equivalent to pumping the water in the water outlet buffer tank back to the regulating tank through the circulation pump, and no wastewater will be discharged during the pumping process.

[0041] The circulation unit also includes a second control system and a water outlet monitoring system. The second control system controls the operation of the circulation pump. The online monitoring system detects the wastewater index of the water outlet unit and compares it with the preset index. If any of the wastewater indexes of the water outlet unit is higher than the preset index, the second control system starts the circulation pump. The preset indexes include wastewater indexes including chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen and total phosphorus. Taking the standard of water quality for sewage discharge into urban sewers (GB_T31962-2015) as an example, when any index data of online monitoring is greater than or equal to the preset index value for starting the circulation pump, the circulation pump is automatically started to pump the wastewater back to the regulating tank. The specific values ​​are shown in Table 1 below.

[0042] Table 1 Schematic diagram of preset indicators and water output indicators

[0043]

[0044] It can be understood that the above-mentioned indicator data are set according to the conventional indicators in wastewater, and the detection indicators in different wastewater can be adjusted, such as detecting the pH value and dissolved oxygen of the wastewater effluent.

[0045] Through the operation of the second control system and the effluent monitoring system, wastewater that is close to exceeding the standard can be pumped back in time, which can not only avoid the risk of effluent exceeding the standard due to wastewater fluctuations, but also dilute the pumped back wastewater with the raw water, thereby reducing the impact of wastewater fluctuations. Ultimately, it is ensured that the effluent always meets the standard stably.

[0046] The water outlet detection system is also connected to the alarm located in the central control room. When any of the wastewater indicators is higher than the preset indicator, the alarm will be activated to remind relevant staff to make timely adjustments.

[0047] 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.
