Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an ECBR sewage treatment process. Background Art

[0002] At present, the domestic sewage treatment process technologies in my country still have their own defects. The traditional process has low efficiency in nitrogen and phosphorus removal; the sludge stability is poor; it operates in an intermittent cycle and has high requirements for automatic control; it is costly and consumes a lot of electricity. Therefore, the ECBR sewage treatment process is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an ECBR sewage treatment process to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical scheme: ECBR sewage treatment process, comprising the following steps: In step 1, filtering treatment: domestic sewage is collected from a pipe network and discharged into a filter tank, and three sets of filter screens need to be installed at the area where the domestic sewage passes through the filter tank, so that when the domestic sewage is transported, it can be initially filtered and large particles of impurities can be removed through the filter screen; Step 2: Water quality adjustment: Use a sewage pump to pump the domestic sewage filtered in step 1 into the regulating tank, then add a neutralizer into the regulating tank, and use an aeration device to aerate the sewage, which will promote the combination of carbon dioxide and water molecules, reduce the alkalinity of the sewage, and promote the respiration of microorganisms to produce acidic substances, thereby reducing the pH value and adjusting the water quality; Step 3: Electrolytic treatment: The sewage is pumped into the micro-electrolysis (physical and chemical) tank in the regulating tank, where the sewage is electrolyzed to break the molecular chains of some difficult-to-degrade substances; Step 4: Degradation and sedimentation: After the sewage comes out of the micro-electrolysis (physicochemical) tank, it enters the circulating aerobic tank to biodegrade the organic matter in the wastewater and settle the sludge; Step 5: Disinfection: The effluent from the circulating aerobic pool is disinfected with ultraviolet light to meet the discharge requirements.

[0005] Preferably, in the step 1, the pore size of the first filter screen is 50-80 mm, the pore size of the second filter screen is 6-40 mm, and the pore size of the third filter screen is 2-5 mm.

[0006] Preferably, when adjusting the water quality of the sewage in the regulating tank in step 2, a temperature detection device is required to monitor the temperature of the sewage, and the temperature is required to be between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius.

[0007] Preferably, when adjusting the water quality of the sewage in the regulating tank in step 2, it is necessary to use a dissolved oxygen detection device to monitor the dissolved oxygen concentration of the sewage, and the dissolved oxygen concentration is required to be between 4-6 mg. If the dissolved oxygen concentration is too low, the dissolved oxygen concentration can be increased by increasing the aeration time and increasing the aeration intensity.

[0008] Preferably, after the water quality of the sewage in the regulating tank is regulated in step 2, its pH value is required to be between 6.5 and 8.5.

[0009] Preferably, after the neutralizing agent is added to the regulating tank in step 2, a water pump is required to circulate the sewage in the regulating tank.

[0010] Preferably, in step 4, a small anoxic zone is formed by cutting off the vertical areas near the four sides in the aerobic tank, and the water flow driven by the gas will partially flow in from the upper part of the baffle. There is no oxygen supplement in this area, and the dissolved oxygen of the incoming mud-water mixture will decrease rapidly. When it settles to the bottom folding plate area, the dissolved oxygen is almost exhausted, and the products of ammonia oxidation in the aerobic zone are denitrified and denitrified here.

[0011] Preferably, a double-sided guide plate is added to one side of the anoxic zone in the aerobic pool in step 4, and the negative pressure formed between the guide plates by the water flow generated by the aeration rising airflow is used to automatically return the sludge from the sedimentation zone, replacing the traditional mechanical return. At the same time, the guide plate separates the treatment pool into an aerobic zone (aeration zone) and an anaerobic zone (sludge sedimentation, clean sewage diversion zone). Driven by the water flow, the sewage and sludge automatically circulate repeatedly between the aerobic zone and the anaerobic zone. Beneficial Effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an ECBR sewage treatment process, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The ECBR sewage treatment process adopts electrochemical technology to electrolyze sewage, and electrolysis breaks bonds, breaks walls and performs physicochemical treatment on macromolecular organic matter in sewage, thereby electrolyzing macromolecular organic matter into small molecular organic matter and inorganic matter; among which small molecular organic matter floats up to the next biochemical treatment step, providing carbon source for subsequent biochemical treatment, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent biochemical treatment, and the circulating aerobic tank of this process automatically completes the previously dispersed processes such as aerobic (aeration) and anaerobic circulation, clean water sludge separation, and sludge return in one treatment tank. Compared with the method that requires the use of multiple treatment tanks, the volume of the equipment is smaller. At the same time, the circulating aerobic tank does not use pump return, but uses water flow to return sludge without breaking up the aerobic biological groups formed in the aerobic zone, thereby improving the treatment capacity of the aerobic biological groups, and the circulating aerobic tank has a high efficiency in degrading COD and ammonia nitrogen treatment capacity, does not need to manually control the return ratio of sludge, and is easy to manage.

[0013] 2. In the ECBR sewage treatment process, the sludge can be deposited in the anoxic zone of the aerobic tank, which is easy to accumulate specialized bacteria, prevent the muddy water from flowing out quickly, and allow it to have a certain residence time to allow denitrification to fully react, so that the water flow has a more reasonable flow state, prevent the muddy water or gas water from flowing back and destroy the anoxic environment. After the transformation, a main aerobic zone and four anoxic zones are formed in the same aerobic reactor. After aeration, most of the sludge is in the aerobic zone for carbon oxidation and ammonia oxidation. A small part of the muddy water mixture will flow into the anoxic zone with the water flow. The newly generated nitrite and nitrate can use the sufficient carbon source for denitrification, which greatly increases the denitrification efficiency, saves energy consumption, and improves economic benefits. The process has the advantages of strong impact resistance, low energy consumption, simple maintenance and management, and quick results. It is suitable for areas that urgently need to solve the problem of rural domestic sewage pollution and have less land and water resources. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
