Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly to a deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic enhancement of functional filter media. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the full implementation of the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants" (GB 18918-2002), the total nitrogen (TN) emission limit has been further tightened, and there is an urgent need for sewage treatment plants to upgrade their standards. However, existing denitrification filters have many inherent defects in technical principles, structural designs, and operation modes. Traditional filters mostly adopt the upper-inlet or side-inlet mode, with uneven water flow distribution, which is prone to form "preferential flow channels", resulting in uneven hydraulic retention time distribution, large fluctuations in TN removal efficiency, and the need to overdose carbon sources to compensate for inefficient areas, leading to a sharp increase in operating costs. In addition, the carbon source mixing mechanism is backward, and the effective utilization rate is less than 60%. A large amount of carbon source is lost without participating in denitrification, and at the same time, the excessive carbon source will also cause an increase in the chemical oxygen demand COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand, the oxygen equivalent consumed by reducing inorganic substances and organic substances (generally organic substances) that need to be oxidized in a water sample measured by a chemical reaction) in the effluent, triggering the risk of secondary pollution.

[0003] The nitrogen gas generated by the denitrification reaction has a lower density than water. When the traditional filter adopts the upper-inlet mode, the nitrogen gas stays in the pores of the filter material, resulting in a sharp increase in the pressure loss of the filter and an increase in the backwashing frequency. Frequent backwashing not only increases energy consumption but also causes filter material wear and shortens the replacement cycle. In addition, conventional filter materials such as quartz sand and anthracite only serve as carriers for biofilms, lacking the functions of carbon source slow release or gas conduction. Under the condition of low-carbon source influent, the activity of denitrifying bacteria is inhibited due to insufficient carbon source, and the TN removal rate drops sharply. Existing slow-release carbon source materials have poor matching between the carbon release rate and denitrification requirements and cannot meet the needs of long-term stable operation. Traditional filter bricks only bear the functions of load-bearing and basic water distribution, and the hole distribution does not consider the correction of edge effects, and there is no gas conduction channel inside, resulting in uneven water distribution and gas conduction blind areas, further exacerbating the gas blockage problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic enhancement of functional filter media to overcome the problem that the hole distribution of filter bricks in the prior art does not consider the correction of edge effects, resulting in uneven water distribution and gas conduction blind areas, and further exacerbating the gas blockage problem.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic enhancement of functional filter media, including: A filter tank module, which includes a building tank body and several modified filter layers, for providing a basic space for treating nitrogen-containing sewage; An influent module, which is connected to the bottom of the filter tank module and is used to transport the nitrogen-containing sewage into the building tank body; A filter media module, which is arranged inside the filter tank module and is located above the influent module, and is used to adsorb small-molecule organic matters in the nitrogen-containing sewage and provide attachment sites for denitrifying bacteria; A collection module, which is connected to the filter tank module and is used to continuously collect the nitrogen and nitrogen-free wastewater obtained after treating the nitrogen-containing sewage; A detection module, which is respectively connected to the filter tank module, the influent module and the collection module, and is used to detect the water flow direction and water flow velocity of the nitrogen-containing sewage to determine the water flow stability characterization parameters, and obtain the inclination angles and inverted hole passing rates of each modified filter layer; A treatment control module, which is respectively connected to the filter tank module, the influent module and the detection module, and is used to determine whether the current layer of water flow is normally distributed according to the water flow stability characterization parameters, determine whether to adjust the corresponding modified filter layer according to the judgment result of normal water flow distribution combined with the inclination angles of each modified filter layer, and determine whether there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission according to the inverted hole passing rate of the modified filter layer to determine whether to increase the number of modified filter layers.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the modified filter layer is composed of honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with a nano-hydrophilic coating; Among them, a number of spiral flow-through holes are arranged inside the honeycomb diversion filter bricks.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the influent module includes: A lower influent diversion unit, which is used to transport the nitrogen-containing sewage into the building tank body at a preset water flow velocity; A stratified water distribution unit, which is connected to the lower influent diversion unit and is used to divide the nitrogen-containing sewage into several vertically upward filtered water flows.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the filter media module includes functional filter media and volcanic rock activated carbon; Among them, the functional filter media is composed of ceramic fiber, modified zeolite and silane coupling agent.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the deep-bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the water flow direction and water flow velocity of the nitrogen-containing sewage detected by the detection module specifically include the first water flow direction and the first water flow velocity of each filtered water flow, and the second water flow direction and the second water flow velocity of the water flow at the outlet of each first-layer modified filter layer; Among them, the quantities of the first water flow direction and the first water flow velocity are the same as the quantity of the filtered water flow; The quantities of the second water flow direction and the second water flow velocity are the same as the quantity of the outlets of the modified filter layer.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the detection module constructs a characterization vector group of the filtered water flow according to all the first water flow directions and the corresponding first water flow velocities, and calculates the sum vector, the average deviation of the modulus length and the average value of the modulus length of the characterization vector group; The detection module determines the water flow stability characterization parameter according to the ratio of the average deviation of the modulus length to the average value of the modulus length and the angle of the sum vector.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the detection module obtains the number of the outlets of the modified filter layer where bubbles continuously appear within a preset time, and takes the ratio with the total number of the outlets of the corresponding modified filter layer to obtain the inverted pore passing rate of each modified filter layer.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the process control module determines whether the water flow distribution of the current layer is normal according to the water flow stability characterization parameter, including: If the water flow stability characterization parameter is less than or equal to the standard stability characterization parameter, the water flow distribution of the current layer is normal; If the water flow stability characterization parameter is greater than the standard stability characterization parameter, the water flow distribution of the current layer is abnormal.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the process control module is configured to adjust the current modified filter layer in combination with the tilt angle in response to the determination result of abnormal water flow distribution of the current layer, specifically including: If the tilt angle is not 0, the process control module calibrates the tilt angle of the current modified filter layer; If the tilt angle is 0, the process control module increases the diameter of the outlets of the current modified filter layer.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, the process control module determines whether there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission according to the inverted pore passing rate of the modified filter layer, including: If the inverted pore passing rate is greater than the standard passing rate, the process control module determines that there is no abnormality in nitrogen emission and does not increase the number of modified filter layers.

[0015] If the passing rate of the inverted holes is less than or equal to the standard passing rate, the processing control module determines that the nitrogen emission is abnormal and increases the number of modified filter layers.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows. Through innovative filter material design, intelligent detection and dynamic regulation modules, the present invention achieves efficient denitrification treatment effects. The system uses honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with nano-hydrophilic coatings, and the internal diversion holes are connected to the swirl channels, which can effectively guide the water flow to rise evenly and optimize the path, reduce the short-circuit phenomenon, improve the nitrogen discharge efficiency at the same time, and reduce the risk of air blockage. The filter material module composed of ceramic fiber, modified zeolite and silane coupling agent not only improves the adhesion performance of denitrifying bacteria, but also realizes the slow-release function of carbon source and improves the utilization rate of carbon source. The detection module constructs a water flow characterization vector group to accurately evaluate the water flow stability, and combines with the processing control module to dynamically adjust the inclination angle or outlet diameter of the filter layer to ensure uniform water flow distribution. In addition, the system intelligently judges whether the nitrogen emission is abnormal according to the passing rate of the inverted holes, and increases the number of filter layers when necessary to further refine the water flow and bubbles, ensuring the smooth discharge of gas. The present invention not only significantly reduces the carbon source dosage and backwashing frequency, reduces the operating cost, but also improves the stability of the effluent quality, makes the total nitrogen concentration of the effluent reach the standard stably, and prolongs the service life of the filter material, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of the sewage treatment plant.

[0017] In particular, in the present invention, through the synergistic effect of the detection module and the processing control module, the accurate evaluation and regulation of the water flow stability of the denitrification deep bed filter are realized. The detection module constructs a characterization vector group based on the water flow direction and speed, and then calculates the sum vector, the average deviation of the modulus length and the average value of the modulus length, and determines the water flow stability characterization parameter in combination with the sum vector angle to determine the uniformity of the water flow in the filter. In addition, the average deviation angle of the flow velocity vector is statistically calculated. The processing control module judges whether the current layer of water flow meets the water flow uniformity according to the comparison between the water flow stability characterization parameter and the standard stability characterization parameter, which not only ensures the uniform distribution of the water flow in the filter, optimizes the denitrification effect, but also reduces the gas discharge resistance and improves the overall operation efficiency, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of sewage treatment.

[0018] In particular, in the present invention, through dynamic adjustment and intelligent control, the problems of uneven water flow distribution and abnormal gas emission in the denitrification deep bed filter are effectively solved. When it is detected that the water flow does not meet the uniform condition, the processing control module can take targeted measures according to the specific situation. This dynamic adjustment method not only improves the uniformity of the water flow, but also reduces the resistance and energy consumption during the operation of the system. In addition, the scheme judges whether the nitrogen emission is abnormal by monitoring the inverted hole passing rate of the modified filter layer. When the inverted hole passing rate is lower than the standard value, the system automatically adds another layer of modified filter layer to refine the water flow and bubbles, ensuring the smooth discharge of gas, and can effectively cope with the high gas generation rate, guaranteeing the stable operation of the system.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 as shown in the figure, which is a structural block diagram of a deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a deep bed denitrification water treatment system with synergistic effect of functional filter media, including: A filter tank module, which includes a building tank body and several modified filter layers, and is used to provide a basic space for treating nitrogen-containing sewage; An inlet module, which is connected to the bottom of the filter tank module and is used to transport the nitrogen-containing sewage into the building tank body; A filter media module, which is arranged inside the filter tank module and above the inlet module, and is used to adsorb small molecule organic matters in the nitrogen-containing sewage and provide attachment sites for denitrifying bacteria; A collection module, which is connected to the filter tank module and is used to continuously collect the nitrogen gas and nitrogen-free wastewater obtained after treating the nitrogen-containing sewage; A detection module, which is respectively connected to the filter tank module, the inlet module, and the collection module, and is used to detect the water flow direction and water flow velocity of the nitrogen-containing sewage to determine the water flow stability characterization parameters, and obtain the inclination angle and inverted hole passing rate of each modified filter layer; A processing control module, which is respectively connected to the filter tank module, the inlet module, and the detection module, and is used to determine whether the current layer of water flow is normally distributed according to the water flow stability characterization parameters, determine whether to adjust the corresponding modified filter layer according to the judgment result of normal water flow distribution combined with the inclination angle of each modified filter layer, and determine whether there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission according to the inverted hole passing rate of the modified filter layer to determine whether to increase the number of modified filter layers.

[0025] In implementation, the number of modified filter layers is not less than 2.

[0026] The collection module is provided with a gas collection channel along the water flow direction. Nitrogen gas rises with the water flow to the gas collection area and is discharged, reducing the eddy current resistance by about 30% - 50%. The co-directional flow of gas and water can prevent the formation of gas film accumulation on the surface of the filter media, reduce gas blockage, and the backwashing frequency is reduced by more than 30%. At the same time, nitrogen gas is continuously discharged with the water flow, without the need to frequently trigger the exhaust valve, and the nitrogen discharge period can be extended to 8 - 12 hours.

[0027] In the above embodiments, through innovative filter media design, intelligent detection, and dynamic regulation modules, efficient denitrification treatment effects are achieved. The system uses honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with nano-hydrophilic coatings, and the internal diversion holes are connected to the spiral flow channels, which can effectively guide the water flow to rise evenly and optimize the path, reduce the short-circuit phenomenon, improve the nitrogen gas discharge efficiency, and reduce the risk of air blockage. The filter media module composed of ceramic fiber, modified zeolite, and silane coupling agent not only improves the attachment performance of denitrifying bacteria but also realizes the slow-release function of carbon sources and improves the utilization rate of carbon sources. The detection module constructs a water flow characterization vector group to accurately evaluate the water flow stability, and combines with the treatment control module to dynamically adjust the inclination angle or outlet diameter of the filter layer to ensure uniform water flow distribution. In addition, the system intelligently judges whether the nitrogen emission is abnormal according to the inverted hole passing rate, and increases the number of filter layers when necessary to further refine the water flow and bubbles, ensuring the smooth discharge of gas. This not only significantly reduces the carbon source dosage and backwashing frequency, reduces the operating cost, but also improves the stability of the effluent quality, makes the total nitrogen concentration of the effluent reach the standard stably, and prolongs the service life of the filter media, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of the sewage treatment plant.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown in Figure 2 is a schematic diagram for comparing the contact angle modification of the nano-hydrophilic coating in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a sectional view of the honeycomb diversion filter brick in the embodiment of the present invention, and the modified filter layer is composed of honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with nano-hydrophilic coatings; Among them, a number of spiral-shaped diversion through-holes 2 are arranged inside the honeycomb diversion filter brick.

[0029] In practice, the top of the honeycomb diversion filter brick is an inverted conical diffusion hole 1, which further disperses the water flow and avoids short-circuiting. Through the guidance of the internal diversion holes, the water flow rises evenly from the bottom, and then the water flow path is further optimized through the spiral flow channel, so that the water flow forms a spiral movement on the surface of the filter brick, increasing the contact time between the water flow and the filter media and improving the efficiency of the denitrification reaction. At the same time, this connection design also helps to discharge nitrogen gas and reduce the air blockage phenomenon.

[0030] In practice, each honeycomb diversion filter brick has at least two spiral-shaped diversion through-holes 2, Figure 3 and there are 9 spiral-shaped diversion through-holes 2 in

[0031] It can be understood that after the water flow rises evenly from the internal diversion holes, the path is further optimized through the spiral flow channel, reducing the short-circuit phenomenon. Nitrogen gas can follow the water flow and be discharged smoothly through the internal diversion holes and the spiral flow channel, reducing air blockage. In addition, it can also increase the contact time between the water flow and the filter media, making the denitrification reaction more complete.

[0032] The nano-hydrophilic coating uses a silica / titania-based sol-gel coating to transform the filter surface from hydrophobic (contact angle > 90°) to super-hydrophilic (contact angle < 10°), enabling water to spread rapidly in a thin film rather than as discrete water droplets, reducing local high-speed flow regions and avoiding short circuits.

[0033] Specifically, the steps for obtaining a honeycomb flow-guiding filter brick covered with a nano-hydrophilic coating include: (1) Raw material weighing: TEOS, deionized water, ethanol, and nitric acid are weighed in a molar ratio of 1:4:1:0.05. (2) Preparation of the precursor solution: Deionized water and ethanol are mixed to obtain a mixed solution containing deionized water and ethanol. TEOS is added dropwise to the above mixed solution while continuously stirring to obtain the precursor solution. (3) Hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction, under the condition of room temperature (25 ± 2 °C) or water bath heating (40 - 60 °C); the pH of the precursor solution is finely adjusted to alkaline (pH 9 - 10) by ammonia water to inhibit excessive hydrolysis, and then nitric acid is slowly added to adjust the pH to 8 - 10 to promote the hydrolysis reaction. Stir continuously for 30 minutes until the solution becomes transparent to form a stable sol, and continue to stir the stable sol for 6 - 12 hours for the polycondensation reaction to form a semi-transparent sol. (4) The filter brick substrate (such as HDPE, ceramic) needs to be treated by plasma or chemical etching to increase surface roughness and active groups (including -OH and -COOH), improve the coating adhesion. High-pressure airless spraying (pressurizing the semi-transparent sol to a pressure of 10 MPa - 15 MPa by a pressure pump) or electrostatic spraying (electrostatic voltage 60 - 90 KV, pressure set at 0.3 - 0.5 MPa) is used to control the coating thickness to 200 - 500 nm. After spraying, heat treatment is carried out at 80 - 120 °C for curing, and baking is carried out for 2 - 4 hours to accelerate gel curing and form a stable coating structure. (5) Use a contact angle measuring instrument to verify the hydrophilicity. By measuring, the contact angle is reduced from 108° before modification to about 10°, that is, the preparation of the honeycomb flow-guiding filter brick covered with a nano-hydrophilic coating is completed. It can be understood that if the nano-hydrophilic coating is too thick, there is a risk of cracking; if the nano-hydrophilic coating is too thin, it will lead to insufficient coating coverage, affecting the spread of the water film layer.

[0034] Specifically, the inlet module includes: A lower inlet flow-guiding unit for delivering the nitrogen-containing sewage to the building pool body at a preset water flow rate. A layered water distribution unit connected to the lower inlet flow-guiding unit for dividing the nitrogen-containing sewage into several vertically upward filtered water flows.

[0035] In implementation, the quantity of the filtered water flow is determined according to the bottom area of the building pool body. The filtered water flows are spaced equally in the vertical direction, and the filtered water flows in different columns are spaced equally in the horizontal direction. Preferably, the spacing in each direction is 30 cm to 50 cm.

[0036] Specifically, the filter media module includes functional filter media and volcanic rock activated carbon. Among them, the functional filter media is composed of ceramic fiber, modified zeolite, and silane coupling agent.

[0037] In implementation, the compressive strength of the ceramic fiber ≥ 0.80 MPa, and the mass ratio of the ceramic fiber, modified zeolite, and silane coupling agent is 5:4:1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the volcanic rock activated carbon is arranged on the upper part of the functional filter media.

[0039] Specifically, the steps for obtaining the functional filter media include: (1) Prepare the ceramic fiber. Mix quartz sand, alumina powder, and calcium carbonate in proportion, place them in a high-temperature furnace and melt at 1600 - 1700 °C to form a glass liquid. The glass liquid is ejected through a platinum-rhodium alloy spinneret (aperture 10 - 15 μm) and enters the 200 - 300 °C air quenching zone to form primary fibers. The primary fibers are subjected to porous drawing through a bunching cylinder (drawing ratio 1:5 - 1:10) to eliminate bubbles and control the diameter, cut the primary fibers, and screen out fibers with a length of 10 - 15 mm for moisture-proof packaging to obtain the ceramic fiber. (2) Prepare the modified zeolite. Mix zeolite powder and ammonium nitrate in a mass ratio of 1:8, place them in a 90 °C water bath and stir for 4 hours, centrifuge and wash until neutral, then dry at 120 °C and calcine at 500 °C for 3 hours to remove crystal water and expand pores. (3) Prepare the functional filter media. Configure a silane coupling agent ethanol solution (silane coupling agent concentration 5%, solvent is ethanol), immerse the prepared ceramic fiber and modified zeolite in it, stir for 2 hours under the condition of a constant temperature of 60 °C and then centrifuge and dry. Bake the centrifuged and dried composite filter media in a nitrogen atmosphere at 200 °C for 2 hours to fix the functional groups and obtain the functional filter media.

[0040] It can be understood that the modified zeolite increases the porosity through acid treatment (specific surface area ≥ 800 m² / g), preferentially adsorbs small molecule organic substances in water (such as sodium acetate, glucose, amino acids, etc.), and slowly releases them under anoxic conditions for directional cultivation of biofilms. The microporous structure (pore diameter 5 - 10 μm) of the ceramic fiber matrix provides high attachment sites for denitrifying bacteria, and the internal carbon source utilization rate is increased to more than 40%.

[0041] Specifically, the water flow direction and water flow velocity of the nitrogen-containing sewage detected by the detection module specifically include the first water flow direction and the first water flow velocity of each filtered water flow, and the second water flow direction and the second water flow velocity of the water flow at the outlet of each first-layer modified filter layer; Among them, the quantities of the first water flow direction and the first water flow velocity are the same as the quantity of the filtered water flow; The quantities of the second water flow direction and the second water flow velocity are the same as the quantity of the outlet of the modified filter layer.

[0042] In implementation, obtain the bubble movement direction and bubble movement velocity of the uppermost filter bricks of each modified filter layer in the vertical direction of the filtered water flow. Obtain the continuous movement images of the bubbles by setting high-speed cameras (≥1000 fps, such as Phantom VEO 410) in multiple directions. Combine image processing techniques, use displacement vector angles to calculate the bubble movement direction, and determine the bubble movement velocity according to the shooting time interval and the positions of the bubbles in different images, so as to equivalently determine the water flow direction and water flow velocity at the outlet of the corresponding layer.

[0043] In implementation, there is a spacing of at least 1 cm between any two adjacent modified filter layers.

[0044] The detection module also obtains all the third water flow directions and the third water flow velocities at the outlet of the second-layer modified filter layer, until all the (n + 1)-th water flow directions and the (n + 1)-th water flow velocities at the outlet of the n-th layer modified filter layer.

[0045] Specifically, the detection module constructs a characterization vector group of the filtered water flow according to all the first water flow directions and the corresponding first water flow velocities, and calculates the sum vector, the average deviation of the modulus length, and the average value of the modulus length of the characterization vector group; The detection module determines the water flow stability characterization parameter according to the ratio of the average deviation of the modulus length to the average value of the modulus length in combination with the angle of the sum vector.

[0046] In implementation, the water flow stability characterization parameter is determined according to the product of the ratio of the average deviation of the modulus length to the average value of the modulus length and the ratio of the angle of the vector to the standard water flow deviation angle.

[0047] The detection module determines the water flow stability characterization parameters of each modified filter layer in the same way.

[0048] Specifically, according to the path of the bubble movement, analyze the water flow trajectory through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation, and statistically analyze the average deviation angle of the flow velocity vector. According to the "Outdoor Drainage Design Standard" GB 50014-2021, the design of the filter tank water distribution system should ensure that the deviation angle is about ≤5°, and the standard water flow deviation angle is 5°.

[0049] Specifically, within a preset time, the detection module obtains the number of filter layer outlets where bubbles continuously appear in each modified filter layer, and compares it with the total number of filter layer outlets of the corresponding modified filter layer to obtain the inverted hole passing rate of each modified filter layer.

[0050] In implementation, the preset time is not less than 60 s, and preferably 120 s.

[0051] In this embodiment, a high-speed camera is used to observe the surface of the diversion filter brick, and the ratio of the number of open inverted holes to the total number of inverted holes per unit area is counted. Quantitative analysis is performed through image processing software to obtain the number of filter layer outlets where bubbles appear. In implementation, it can also be replaced by other methods that can determine the number of filter layer outlets where bubbles appear, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, it is a logic diagram for the present invention embodiment to determine whether the water flow in the current layer is evenly distributed. The processing and control module determines whether the water flow in the current layer is evenly distributed according to the water flow stability characterization parameter, including: If the water flow stability characterization parameter is less than or equal to the standard stability characterization parameter, the water flow in the current layer is evenly distributed; If the water flow stability characterization parameter is greater than the standard stability characterization parameter, the water flow in the current layer is abnormally distributed.

[0053] In implementation, the standard stability characterization parameter is selected within the range of [0.1, 0.15].

[0054] It can be understood that the allowable uneven coefficient K of the denitrification deep bed filter is ≤ 15%, and the deviation angle of the water flow in the ideal state in the vertical direction is less than 3°. At this time, the water flow uniformity is the best, and the gas discharge resistance is small.

[0055] In the present invention, through the collaborative action of the detection module and the processing and control module, accurate evaluation and regulation of the water flow stability of the denitrification deep bed filter are achieved. The detection module constructs a characterization vector group based on the water flow direction and speed, and then calculates the average deviation and average value of the modulus length of the sum vector, and determines the water flow stability characterization parameter in combination with the angle of the sum vector to determine the uniformity degree of the water flow in the filter. In addition, the average deviation angle of the flow velocity vector is statistically calculated. The processing and control module then judges whether the water flow in the current layer conforms to the water flow uniformity according to the comparison between the water flow stability characterization parameter and the standard stability characterization parameter, which not only ensures the uniform distribution of the water flow in the filter, optimizes the denitrification effect, but also reduces the gas discharge resistance and improves the overall operation efficiency, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of sewage treatment.

[0056] Specifically, the processing and control module is configured to adjust the current modified filter layer in combination with the tilt angle in response to the determination result of the abnormal distribution of the water flow in the current layer, specifically including: If the inclination angle is not 0, the processing control module calibrates the inclination angle of the current modified filter layer; If the inclination angle is 0, the processing control module increases the diameter of the outlet of the current modified filter layer.

[0057] In implementation, the increased amount of the diameter of the outlet of the modified filter layer is determined according to the product of the difference between the water flow stability characterization parameter and the standard stability characterization parameter and the current diameter.

[0058] Specifically, the processing control module determines whether there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission according to the inverted hole passing rate of the modified filter layer, including: If the inverted hole passing rate is greater than the standard passing rate, the processing control module determines that there is no abnormality in nitrogen emission and does not increase the number of modified filter layers.

[0059] If the inverted hole passing rate is less than or equal to the standard passing rate, the processing control module determines that there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission and increases the number of modified filter layers by one layer.

[0060] In implementation, the standard passing rate is 80%.

[0061] It can be understood that when the passing rate ≥ 70%, it is generally considered that the gas can be effectively discharged with little impact on the system. For high-load denitrification (large gas production) scenarios, generally, the passing rate needs to be greater than 80% to cope with the high gas generation rate. Increasing the number of modified filter layers can further refine the water flow and bubbles to ensure the smooth discharge of gas.

[0062] In the present invention, through dynamic adjustment and intelligent control, the problems of abnormal water flow and abnormal gas emission in the denitrification deep bed filter are effectively solved. When it is detected that the water flow does not meet the uniform condition, the processing control module can take targeted measures according to the specific situation. This dynamic adjustment method not only improves the uniformity of the water flow but also reduces the resistance and energy consumption during the operation of the system. In addition, the solution determines whether there is an abnormality in nitrogen emission by monitoring the inverted hole passing rate of the modified filter layer. When the inverted hole passing rate is lower than the standard value, the system automatically adds one layer of modified filter layer to refine the water flow and bubbles to ensure the smooth discharge of gas, which can effectively cope with the high gas generation rate and ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0063] Example 1 Originally, a traditional up-flow deep bed denitrification filter was used, and the TN of the effluent fluctuated between 8 and 12 mg / L (national standard requirement ≤ 10 mg / L), the carbon source cost accounted for 38%, and the backwashing frequency was 48 h / time.

[0064] Reconstruction goal: TN stable ≤ 5 mg / L (local environmental protection requirement), carbon source cost reduced by 30%, and backwashing cycle extended to more than 72 h.

[0065] Filter tank reconstruction: The inlet water uses honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with nano hydrophilic coating to replace the original perforated pipe water distribution system, and uses honeycomb filter bricks (material: HDPE+nano SiO 2 Hydrophilic coating), spiral distribution of diversion holes; set up double-layer composite filter material, the lower layer is functional filter material (particle size 3-5mm, carbon release rate 15mg / (L·h)), the upper layer is volcanic rock activated carbon loaded with denitrifying bacteria (particle size 2-4mm). Install a jet mixer at the bottom of the filter tank, and dynamically adjust the amount of sodium acetate added in combination with an online nitrate sensor (C / N ratio reduced from 4.5 to 3.2).

[0066] Operation parameters: hydraulic load: 8 m³ / (m²·h); effluent TN: ≤5 mg / L, COD / TN ratio: 2.8~3.5; This embodiment reduces the amount of carbon source added by 30%.

[0067] Example 2 In the treatment of high-nitrate wastewater in the industrial park, the influent TN is as high as 80-120 mg / L (mainly nitrate), and the C / N ratio is only 1.5-2.0. The original process uses two-stage AO (anoxic-aerobic process) + ordinary filter tank, and the effluent TN is ≥25 mg / L, which cannot meet the park's ≤15 mg / L requirement.

[0068] Filter tank reconstruction: The inlet water uses honeycomb diversion filter bricks covered with nano hydrophilic coating, replacing the original perforated pipe water distribution system, and using honeycomb filter bricks (material: HDPE+nano SiO 2 Hydrophilic coating), spiral distribution of diversion holes; set up double-layer composite filter material, the lower layer is functional filter material (particle size 3-5mm, carbon release rate 15mg / (L·h)), the upper layer is volcanic rock activated carbon loaded with denitrifying bacteria (particle size 2-4mm). Bottom water inlet multi-stage honeycomb diversion filter brick: replace the original perforated pipe water distribution system, use honeycomb filter brick (material: HDPE+nano SiO 2 Hydrophilic coating), spiral distribution of diversion holes (edge ​​hole density +20%). Install a jet mixer at the bottom of the filter tank, and dynamically adjust the amount of sodium acetate added in combination with an online nitrate sensor (C / N ratio drops from 4.5 to 3.2).

[0069] Operation parameters: hydraulic load is 0.5 m³ / (m²·h); outlet water TN≤15 mg / L; Carbon source supplement: Only 30 kg / d of methanol needs to be added (the original process requires 150 kg / d), and the filter brick slowly releases the carbon source to meet 60% of the demand; The denitrification rate increased to 0.35 kg NO 3 - -N / (m³·d).
