Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and specifically relates to a method for treating wastewater from factory farming. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of aquaculture, factory farming has gained widespread attention due to its high efficiency and intensive nature. However, this model also presents challenges in treating aquaculture wastewater. Factory farming wastewater contains large amounts of pollutants such as uneaten feed, feces, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and nitrate. Direct discharge of such wastewater would cause serious environmental pollution. Therefore, developing effective wastewater treatment methods is of paramount importance.

[0003] Existing factory-scale recirculating aquaculture systems typically employ sedimentation or vertical filters for initial filtration. While sedimentation facilitates solid-liquid separation, it is time-consuming, requires a large sedimentation tank area, and impacts filtration efficiency. Furthermore, static sedimentation is susceptible to environmental influences, leading to re-mixing of solids and liquids during effluent discharge, affecting the filtration quality of the effluent. Vertical filters, while effective in the short term, accumulate impurities between the screens over long-term operation, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, wasting significant manpower, and reducing filtration efficiency. Biological treatment methods such as constructed wetlands and biofilters are also used in effluent treatment, but they have limitations. For example, constructed wetlands require large areas, and their treatment efficiency is significantly affected by seasons and climate; biofilters are less effective at removing COD. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for treating wastewater from industrialized aquaculture, thereby achieving efficient recycling of aquaculture wastewater.

[0005] This invention provides a method for treating wastewater from industrialized aquaculture, comprising the following steps:

[0006] The aquaculture wastewater is introduced into a sedimentation tank for sedimentation to obtain settled wastewater. The sedimentation tank contains water-blocking facilities, and the sedimentation time is 1 to 3 hours.

[0007] The settled effluent is introduced into an ecological purification pond for 2-4 hours to obtain primary ecologically purified effluent. Submerged, floating-leaved, and emergent plants are planted in the ecological purification pond, and silver carp, catfish, crucian carp, freshwater shrimp, snails, and freshwater mussels are stocked. The ecologically purified effluent is then introduced into an aeration tank for disinfection. The aeration tank is equipped with suspended biological packing columns and evenly distributed microporous aeration heads at the bottom. The density of the biological packing columns is 5000-8000 columns / acre, and the density of the microporous aeration heads is 220-250 heads / acre. The biological packing columns consist of packing material and microorganisms. The packing material is one or more of biochar, volcanic rock, and ceramsite, and the microorganisms are Spirulina, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Micrococcus luteus.

[0008] Preferably, the volume ratio of the sedimentation tank, the ecological purification tank, and the aeration tank is 200~300:350~450:900~1200; the depth of the sedimentation tank is 2.5m~3.5m, the depth of the ecological purification tank is 1.5m~2.5m, and the depth of the aeration tank is 1m~2m; preferably, the water-blocking device includes a brush and a biological chamber, which are arranged vertically along the water flow direction, with a front-to-back and left-to-right spacing of 30cm~50cm.

[0009] Preferably, the submerged plants include Vallisneria natans and Hydrilla verticillata, the floating-leaved plants include water lilies, and the emergent plants include reeds and cattails; the planting area of ​​the submerged plants accounts for 20% of the ecological purification pond, the planting area of ​​the floating-leaved plants accounts for 20% of the ecological purification pond, and the planting area of ​​the emergent plants accounts for 20% of the ecological purification pond.

[0010] Preferably, the stocking density is 50 to 100 silver carp per mu, 30 to 50 catfish per mu, 100 to 200 crucian carp per mu, 10 to 20 kg of freshwater shrimp per mu, 150 to 300 kg of snails per mu, and 40 to 50 kg of freshwater mussels per mu.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of spirulina to packing material is 0.2~2:1; the mass ratio of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Micrococcus luteus is 2~5:1~3:1~2; the total mass ratio of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Micrococcus luteus to packing material is 0.01~0.02:1; and the number of viable bacteria per gram of bacteria is ≥5~10×10⁻⁶. 8 The present invention does not have any particular limitation on the source of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and Micrococcus luteus, and conventional commercially available products are all acceptable.

[0012] Preferably, the distance between the top of the aeration head and the bottom of the biological packing column is 1m.

[0013] Preferably, the biological packing column is a ring structure with a height of 1.5m to 2.5m, an inner diameter of 5 to 8cm, and an outer diameter of 7 to 10cm.

[0014] Preferably, the specific surface area of ​​the biological packing column is 2.5 mm². 2 / g~4mm 2 / g.

[0015] Preferably, the disinfection process takes 30 to 60 minutes.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] This invention first uses sedimentation in the effluent, effectively removing most suspended solids and large particulate impurities, significantly reducing turbidity and creating favorable conditions for subsequent ecological purification treatment. The water-blocking facilities in the sedimentation tank increase water flow and residence time, allowing suspended solids more time to settle, improving sedimentation efficiency and further enhancing the pretreatment effect. Through this preliminary treatment in the sedimentation tank, this invention reduces the pollutant load entering the ecological purification tank, lowers the treatment pressure on the ecological purification tank, extends its service life, and improves the overall operational efficiency and stability of the effluent treatment system.

[0018] Planting submerged, floating-leaved, and emergent plants in ecological purification ponds creates a multi-layered ecological purification system. Stocked aquatic animals such as silver carp, catfish, shrimp, snails, and clams form a synergistic biological purification system with the plants. Submerged plants absorb nutrients from the water and inhibit excessive algae growth; floating-leaved plants block sunlight, lower water temperature, and reduce algae reproduction; emergent plants absorb pollutants through their roots and provide habitats for aquatic animals; silver carp and catfish feed on plankton, effectively controlling plankton levels and reducing eutrophication; and benthic animals such as shrimp, snails, and clams further purify the water by consuming organic matter and algae in the sediment. Their activities also promote the release and diffusion of pollutants in the sediment, enhancing the water's self-purification capacity.

[0019] The aeration tank is equipped with uniformly distributed biological packing columns. These high-surface-area packing materials provide numerous attachment sites for microorganisms, significantly increasing the contact area between the microorganisms and the water. This not only facilitates the adsorption and decomposition of organic matter and nutrients in the water by microorganisms but also improves the purification efficiency of the entire treatment system. The biological packing columns employ a ring structure, which further optimizes the packing layout and ensures that water flow can fully penetrate the packing, thereby maximizing contact efficiency.

[0020] The biological packing column is composed of one or more of biochar, volcanic rock, and ceramsite, materials with good adsorption properties and biocompatibility. Microorganisms attached to the packing include Spirulina, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Micrococcus luteus. These microorganisms form a biofilm on the packing surface, efficiently decomposing organic matter and nutrients in the water. Spirulina effectively removes inorganic nitrogen (such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and nitrate) and inorganic phosphorus (such as phosphate) from the effluent. When Spirulina is co-cultured with Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, and Micrococcus luteus, a stable algae-microbe symbiotic system can be formed in the aquatic environment. This symbiotic system effectively promotes the growth of Spirulina and accelerates the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from the aquaculture effluent. Furthermore, Spirulina also has a good enrichment effect on certain heavy metals. When Micrococcus luteus is co-cultured with Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis, the ecological purification effect can be further enhanced, effectively increasing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3) in the effluent. 4+ -N), nitrate (NO3) - The removal rate of -N) improves the ability to degrade recalcitrant organic matter.

[0021] This invention places microporous aerators at the bottom of the pool. The numerous bubbles generated by these aerators rise and come into full contact with the water, increasing the dissolved oxygen content. This high dissolved oxygen environment is beneficial to the metabolic activities of microorganisms, particularly nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. These microorganisms can convert ammonia nitrogen in the water into nitrates, and then, through denitrification, convert the nitrates back into nitrogen gas, releasing it into the atmosphere, thus effectively removing nitrogen from the water. Simultaneously, the aeration process also promotes the oxidation and precipitation of phosphorus in the water, further reducing the phosphorus content.

[0022] A 1-meter distance is maintained between the top of the aeration head and the bottom of the biological packing column. This design not only prevents the aeration head from being blocked by the packing but also ensures that air bubbles can fully penetrate the packing layer, improving aeration efficiency. The aeration tank design takes into account the uniform distribution of water flow and the cutting effect of air bubbles, reducing water flow short-circuiting and dead zones, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0023] This invention combines physical, biological, and chemical treatment methods, enabling efficient treatment of effluent in a short time while reducing the footprint and operating costs of treatment equipment, thus offering high economic efficiency and practicality. After treatment using this method, the effluent reuse rate is no less than 80%, and the treated effluent quality meets national discharge standards. Detailed Implementation
