Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of wastewater biological treatment technology, specifically relating to an apparatus and method for treating urban wastewater with a low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio using the SLOAO process. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the discharge of domestic and industrial wastewater has been increasing year by year, and water shortage and pollution problems have become increasingly serious. my country has also imposed stricter requirements on the control of pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Therefore, efficient wastewater treatment has become an environmental problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Due to urban development, changes in residents' water use habits, and problems with municipal pipe networks, wastewater treatment plant influent generally exhibits a low C / N ratio. Theoretical research suggests that in practical applications, a C / N ratio of above 4.00 is generally required to meet the requirements of microbial denitrification. When treating wastewater with a low C / N ratio, ensuring efficient removal of total nitrogen is challenging, but the removal of total phosphorus (TP) can be achieved through advanced treatment with chemical dosing.
[0003] Currently, wastewater treatment plants widely employ the activated sludge process, relying on microorganisms to remove pollutants such as organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus. However, traditional nitrification / denitrification processes, such as the AAO process (a commonly used secondary wastewater treatment process), suffer from high aeration energy consumption, low utilization rate of raw wastewater carbon sources, large external carbon source dosage, and high energy consumption of return pumps when treating low C / N wastewater, leading to high wastewater treatment costs. Therefore, reducing energy and chemical consumption in wastewater treatment while ensuring efficient nitrogen removal, and achieving carbon reduction and efficiency improvement, is a research hotspot in the wastewater treatment industry.
[0004] In summary, the existing technologies have the following problems: (1) Traditional biological treatment processes do not make full use of the carbon source in the original sewage and cannot meet the carbon source requirements of different bacterial groups; (2) Sewage treatment plants need to add additional carbon sources when treating low C / N sewage, which increases the consumption of reagents; (3) The setting of pre-denitrification makes the denitrification efficiency dependent on the size of the internal reflux ratio, which increases the energy consumption of the reflux pump and increases the cost of sewage treatment.
[0005] Therefore, developing a novel wastewater treatment process with high efficiency in nitrogen removal is an important aspect of current research on low C / N wastewater treatment technologies. Summary of the Invention

The wastewater after short-cut nitrification is mixed with another part of the wastewater entering the anoxic tank from the wastewater inlet, and short-cut denitrification and phosphorus release by polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria are carried out. After the reaction, the wastewater is transported to the second aerobic tank for phosphorus uptake and organic matter removal, and then transported to the sedimentation tank to obtain the treated water.

[0014] Step 3: A portion of the wastewater undergoes short-cut nitrification in the first low-oxygen aerobic tank, and then enters the anoxic tank;
[0015] Step 4: The wastewater after the short-cut nitrification reaction is mixed with another part of the wastewater transported to the anoxic tank through the inlet pipe to carry out the short-cut denitrification reaction and the phosphorus release process by polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria.
[0016] Step 5: The wastewater after the reaction in Step 4 is transported to the second aerobic tank, where the dissolved oxygen concentration is controlled at 1.5-2 mg / L to carry out phosphorus uptake and organic matter removal. Then it is transported to the sedimentation tank to obtain the treated water.
[0017] Preferably, step 1 specifically involves: taking activated sludge from a conventional process and inoculating it into the first low-oxygen aerobic tank, aerating it for 1 day to activate the activity of the activated sludge, controlling the dissolved oxygen concentration in the first low-oxygen aerobic tank to be 0.5–0.9 mg / L, and the hydraulic retention time to be 2–4 h, and continuously monitoring the nitrite nitrogen concentration in the effluent of the first low-oxygen aerobic tank.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:
[0044] (1) This application provides an apparatus and method for treating urban low carbon-nitrogen ratio wastewater using the SLOAO process. It has high denitrification efficiency, low aeration energy consumption, no internal backflow, and the carbon source can be added at zero or low levels.

[0045] (2) The method of this application allows a portion of the wastewater to undergo short-cut nitrification in the first low-oxygen aerobic tank. The nitrite generated by the reaction directly enters the anoxic tank and undergoes short-cut denitrification with another portion of the wastewater. This eliminates the step of nitrification liquid recirculation in the traditional process, abandons the setting of pre-denitrification in the traditional denitrification process, and reduces the energy consumption of the internal recirculation pump.
[0046] (3) This application proposes to divert the sewage influent and determines the influent diversion ratio calculation method in combination with the influent water quality, making full use of the carbon source in the original sewage, meeting the carbon source requirements of different spatial bacterial communities, and achieving low / zero carbon source addition;
[0047] (4) The first low-oxygen aerobic tank of this application achieves short-cut nitrification under low dissolved oxygen conditions, reduces the aeration volume and the carbon source demand in the denitrification process, and achieves efficient nitrogen removal;
[0048] (5) The sludge of this application is returned to the first low-oxygen aerobic tank, which activates the sludge activity and enhances the reproduction of the dominant bacteria of short-cut nitrification and denitrification. The application of short-cut nitrification and denitrification in the SLOAO process of this application reduces the reaction time of wastewater in the biological tank, that is, reduces its hydraulic retention time. Compared with the conventional AAO process, it reduces the size of the structure and the floor area. Attached Figure Description
