Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a method for monitoring dissolved oxygen in a biofilm, a method for optimizing oxygen supply, a system and equipment. Background Art

[0002] Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) is a new type of sewage treatment process that combines gas separation membrane technology with biofilm sewage treatment technology. This process uses MABR as a microbial carrier and provides bubble-free aeration for microorganisms, forming aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic biological environments from close to the membrane layer to far away from the membrane layer, achieving the effect of simultaneous denitrification and carbon removal. Compared with traditional aeration processes, it has the advantages of low energy consumption, biofilm is not easy to fall off, and high oxygen utilization rate.

[0003] In MABR, oxygen is supplied from the lumen of the membrane fibers and diffuses through the membrane into the biofilm. Therefore, the DO (Dissolved Oxygen) concentration in the biofilm decreases from the inner layer of the biofilm (close to the membrane) along the biofilm thickness to the biofilm-liquid boundary layer; at the same time, nutrients and other pollutants diffuse into the biofilm from the bulk liquid. Compared with traditional biofilm reactors with co-diffusion biofilms, electron acceptors (such as nitrate and nitrite) and electron donors (ammonia nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand) diffuse into the MABR biofilm from opposite directions, forming a special counter-diffusion biofilm.

[0004] Since oxygen diffuses from the inside, it is difficult to monitor the dissolved oxygen in the solution to reflect the oxygen situation in the biofilm. Even if the dissolved oxygen in the solution is zero, the biofilm can still achieve good water purification due to the formation of an aerobic inner layer and an anaerobic outer layer biological environment. The dissolved oxygen situation in the biofilm can be monitored through microelectrodes and other technologies, but microelectrodes are expensive, easy to damage, and difficult to maintain, making them difficult to use in actual working conditions. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0026] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] The monitoring method, optimized oxygen supply method, system, and equipment for dissolved oxygen in the biofilm of the present application are all applied to a membrane aeration biofilm reactor, such as Figure 3 shown, the membrane aeration biofilm reactor includes: an influent tank 1, an effluent tank 5, a gas delivery unit 2, and a biochemical reaction unit 3.

[0028] The inlet of the biochemical reaction unit 3 is connected to the influent tank 1, and a peristaltic pump 6 is provided between the inlet of the biochemical reaction unit 3 and the influent tank 1; the outlet of the biochemical reaction unit 3 is connected to the effluent tank 5; an interfacial mass transfer biofilm assembly 301 is provided in the biochemical reaction unit 3, and the interfacial mass transfer biofilm assembly 301 is perpendicular to the water flow direction.

[0029] The gas delivery unit 2 is connected to the inlet of the interfacial mass transfer biofilm assembly 301 through a gas pipe. The gas delivery unit 2 includes a gas supply device 201, a gas flow meter 202, and a pressure gauge 203. Among them, the gas flow meter 202 is used to adjust and monitor the gas flow, and the pressure gauge 203 monitors the aeration pressure.

[0030] The working principle of the membrane aeration biofilm reactor is specifically as follows.

[0031] The wastewater to be treated containing organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the influent tank 1 is introduced into the biochemical reaction unit 3 through the peristaltic pump 6 and discharged from the outlet to the effluent tank 5 after a certain residence time.

[0032] Before the formal operation of the gas delivery unit 2, membrane hanging needs to be completed. First, a certain amount of nitrifying sludge is added to the biochemical reaction unit 3, and at the same time, wastewater containing ammonia nitrogen is configured to form a nitrifying biofilm on the surface of the interfacial mass transfer biofilm assembly 301. When a thin layer of yellowish-brown biofilm appears on the surface, it is regarded as the completion of membrane hanging.

[0033] During wastewater treatment, the wastewater flows from the inlet tank 1 into the biochemical reaction unit 3, and a pollutant monitor is used to monitor the concentration of pollutants in the influent. After the wastewater to be treated enters the biochemical reaction unit 3, the gas delivery unit 2 supplies gas to the heterogeneous mass transfer biofilm module 301 through a pipeline. The gas is transferred to the biofilm through the membrane filaments. Due to the attenuation of oxygen concentration during the gas transfer process, microorganisms at different distances from the surface of the heterogeneous mass transfer biofilm module 301 exhibit different pollutant removal characteristics. For example, aerobic bacteria (nitrifying bacteria) are in the inner layer, and anaerobic (facultative anaerobic) bacteria (denitrifying bacteria) are in the outer layer, realizing the purification of wastewater. The purified water is discharged from the outlet to the outlet tank 5. A detector for detecting the pollutant concentration is provided in the outlet tank 5.

[0034] The heterogeneous mass transfer biofilm module 301 includes a biofilm and an MABR membrane module, and the biofilm is attached to the MABR membrane module.

[0035] Due to changes in pollutant levels and biofilm states, the dissolved oxygen level in the biofilm will change accordingly. The characteristics of the biofilm can be obtained by image recognition, and the oxygen level can be regulated accordingly. Thereby, a method, an optimized oxygen supply method, a system and equipment for monitoring the dissolved oxygen in the biofilm are provided.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a method for monitoring the dissolved oxygen in a biofilm is provided, including the following steps 101 to 103.

[0037] Step 101, when treating wastewater using a membrane aeration biofilm reactor, obtain image data of the biofilm during the wastewater treatment process.

[0038] Step 102, extract features from the image data to obtain image feature parameters.

[0039] Step 103, input the image feature parameters into a biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model to obtain the effective concentration of dissolved oxygen in the biofilm output by the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model; the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model is obtained by training based on a machine learning model.

[0040] Implementing the above steps 101 - 103 can achieve effective monitoring of the dissolved oxygen in the biofilm at low cost.

[0041] In another exemplary embodiment, in the above step 102, a deep learning algorithm is used to extract image feature parameters. The extracted image feature parameters are used for machine learning model training with the measured concentration of dissolved oxygen in the biofilm to obtain a biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model. The image feature parameters include: the bubble density on the biofilm surface, the surface bubble size, the biofilm thickness, the biofilm color, and the biofilm temperature distribution, etc. The machine learning model is constructed based on the Open CV library.

[0042] In another exemplary embodiment, the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model in step 103 above is obtained by training and optimizing a machine learning model according to a predetermined evaluation index. The machine learning model includes an ACO-BP (Ant Colony Optimization-BackPropagation, a multi-layer feedforward neural network pre-trained based on the ant colony algorithm) neural network.

[0043] In another exemplary embodiment, the prediction accuracy of the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model in step 103 above needs to be verified regularly based on the evaluation index.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an optimized oxygen supply method based on image recognition is provided, which includes the following steps 201-step 204.

[0045] Step 201, when treating sewage using a membrane aeration biofilm reactor, obtain the image data of the biofilm during the sewage treatment process and the water quality monitoring parameters in the biochemical reaction unit.

[0046] Step 202, extract features from the image data to obtain image feature parameters.

[0047] Step 203, input the image feature parameters into the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model to obtain the effective concentration of dissolved oxygen in the biofilm output by the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model; the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model is obtained by training based on a machine learning model.

[0048] Step 204, generate an oxygen supply control signal according to the effective concentration of dissolved oxygen in the biofilm and the water quality monitoring parameters, and adjust the oxygen supply amount of the gas delivery unit.

[0049] In another exemplary embodiment, the water quality monitoring parameters in step 201 above include: influent ammonia nitrogen, effluent ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, COD concentration, and DO concentration in the biochemical reaction unit.

[0050] In another exemplary embodiment, in step 201 above, the image data is also screened and the clearly photographed area is cropped, and the image size, contrast, and brightness are unified.

[0051] In another exemplary embodiment, the specific method for extracting image feature parameters in step 202 is as follows: Install the Open CV library in a Python environment. First, use cv2.imread() to read the image, perform preprocessing such as Gaussian image filtering and edge detection, calculate the number of pixels to obtain the biofilm color information; fit the edge contours, calculate the biofilm thickness based on the circumscribed rectangle of the biofilm contour; perform secondary processing on the preprocessed image, such as grayscaling, binarization, and background removal, and use distance transformation or erosion and dilation to separate and count the microbubbles that may appear on the biofilm surface.

[0052] Obtain the biofilm thermal image data through an infrared detector, use the Open CV library to visualize the temperature distribution characteristics, and normalize the thermal point values to obtain the biofilm thermodynamic parameters.

[0053] In another exemplary embodiment, the machine learning model training process in step 203 is as follows:

[0054] Use the obtained image feature parameters and their corresponding measured dissolved oxygen concentrations in the biofilm (exemplarily, the measured concentration is obtained through microelectrode testing) to construct a model data set, and divide the model data set into a training set and a test set. The model data set can be constructed not only using the measured data of the laboratory system, but also using the data of network open source databases and paper collections, or can be constructed by combining multiple methods, which is not limited here. Use the training set and the test set to train and test the ACO-BP neural network. Further, evaluate the performance of the model through the mean square error, mean absolute error, and determination coefficient, and adjust the hyperparameters to optimize the model fitting effect.

[0055] In another exemplary embodiment, the specific implementation method of step 203 is as follows: Input the intermittently obtained image feature parameters into the biofilm dissolved oxygen prediction model to output the effective dissolved oxygen concentration in the biofilm. The obtained effective dissolved oxygen concentration in the biofilm and the water quality monitoring parameters (including: ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, COD, and DO concentration in the biochemical reaction unit measured in the inlet and outlet pools) are transmitted to the intelligent terminal through a data line. The intelligent terminal selects an adjustment mode according to the dissolved oxygen guidance value of a specific biochemical reaction, mainly including two schemes: adjusting the output power and adjusting the aeration mode, so as to control the aeration volume of the blower and correct the current biofilm dissolved oxygen level.

[0056] In another exemplary embodiment, in step 204, according to the effective dissolved oxygen concentration in the biofilm and the collected and measured water quality monitoring parameters, adjust the control measures of the gas delivery unit to complete the entire optimized oxygen distribution process. Among them, the methods for adjusting the oxygen supply amount of the gas delivery unit include: adjusting one or more of the aeration pressure, gas flow rate, and aeration mode.

[0057] The optimized oxygen supply method based on image recognition in the above embodiments of the present application introduces an image recognition and machine learning module to predict the dissolved oxygen level of the heterogeneous mass transfer biofilm, providing a new optimization method for the regulation of dissolved oxygen in biofilm treatment, and having the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

By inputting the real-time monitoring data into the artificial intelligence model, decision-making parameters can be obtained, the water treatment process is more accurate, and at the same time, it can make a quick response according to the real-time changes of the water quality.

[0060] 3. Easy to expand and applicable to different scenarios. In the present application, for different scenarios, corresponding sample data is set to train and update the machine learning model, and its application in different scenarios can be realized.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, an optimized oxygen supply system based on image recognition is provided, as Figure 3 shown, including an oxygen supply regulating device, an image recognition unit 302, a dissolved oxygen monitoring device 303, and an intelligent terminal 4.

Introduce nitrifying sludge from the aerobic tank of the sewage treatment plant with an MLVSS of 10 g / L into the two biochemical reaction units, maintain the hydraulic retention time at 24 h, and the dissolved oxygen at 1 - 2 mg / L until the nitrifying biofilm is initially formed. The pollutant indexes of the effluent should be stable at this stage. In this example, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate is 80 - 90%, and the total nitrogen removal rate is stable at 40%.

[0070] Comparative Example 1: Configure synthetic wastewater with an ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately 30 mg / L and a COD concentration of approximately 100 mg / L in the inlet sump.

[0071] Comparative Example 2: Configure synthetic wastewater with an ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately 100 mg / L and a COD concentration of approximately 200 mg / L in the inlet sump. The aeration pressure of the gas delivery unit is 2 kPa. The effluent indexes are an ammonia nitrogen concentration of approximately 30 mg / L and a total nitrogen concentration of approximately 70 mg / L. The dissolved oxygen concentration in the biochemical reaction unit is approximately 0 mg / L. According to the oxygen demand value of the nitrification reaction, adjust the aeration pressure to 4 kPa until the dissolved oxygen concentration in R2 is 2 mg / L. After adjustment, the ammonia nitrogen concentration of the effluent is 5 mg / L, and the total nitrogen concentration of the effluent is approximately 70 mg / L; while in R1, according to the predicted effective dissolved oxygen concentration in the biofilm by the optimized ACO - BP model, it is 1.5 mg / L, and the optimized aeration pressure is 3 kPa.
