Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of municipal drainage, in particular to a fermentation device and method for recovering carboxylic acid while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, a large number of sewage plants add a large amount of additional carbon sources such as methanol, acetic acid, sodium acetate, propionic acid, glucose, etc. due to the lack of carbon sources required for nitrogen and phosphorus removal in sewage. In recent years, the requirements for effluent quality are continuously improved, and the demand for carbon sources is gradually increasing, which doubles the energy consumption of sewage plants. In addition, the treatment and disposal of a large amount of sludge generated during sewage treatment is difficult, and the resource utilization of sludge needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] Recent studies have shown that sludge generated in sewage treatment plants (mainly including sludge generated in the pretreatment link and residual sludge generated in the biological treatment link) contains a large amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, etc., which are all slow organic carbon sources. If they are converted into efficient organic carbon sources (such as carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, etc.), they can be used to significantly promote the nitrogen and phosphorus removal process in the biological reaction tank, and by adjusting the pH value and the concentration of trace elements in the sewage, the metabolic balance of functional microorganisms in the reaction tank can be regulated, thereby inhibiting the metabolic activity of non-functional microorganisms (such as methanogenic bacteria), avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane, and achieving the goal of carbon emission reduction. Therefore, the preparation of efficient organic carbon sources-carboxylic acids from sludge is particularly important for promoting the low-carbon operation of sewage plants.

[0004] At present, the research on sludge fermentation at home and abroad mainly focuses on the mechanism of acid production under different sludge fermentation conditions, and the theoretical analysis is heavy, and the development progress of equipment for actual engineering application is relatively slow. The requirements of bacteria on pH value, temperature, etc. in the process of sludge anaerobic fermentation are relatively complex, and in actual large-scale engineering application, most of the existing equipment are limited to adding drugs to the sludge for pretreatment, or only consider the form of the equipment to meet the fermentation conditions, etc., and the cost of drug addition and temperature control is high. For example, the invention patent with the application number 202211043645.4 “Preparation method of carbon source for primary sludge in sewage plant”, only adjusts the pH value to the isoelectric point to pretreat the sludge; the utility model patent with the application number 202321878183.8 “Device for producing acid by anaerobic fermentation of residual sludge based on potassium ferrate” pretreats the sludge by adding reagents. Such technologies weaken the process control of sludge fermentation itself, and have not been widely used in engineering.

[0108] The application method process flow of the fermentation device for recovering carboxylic acid while reducing greenhouse gas emission implemented according to the example is shown in Figure 9 The fermentation device collects all primary sludge and residual sludge from the primary sedimentation tank and sludge concentration tank in the sewage treatment plant to ferment and recover carboxylic acid, controls the reaction parameters to avoid the production of methane and other greenhouse gases during sludge fermentation, and adds the produced carboxylic acid to the biological reaction tank to realize the coordinated removal of COD, N, P and other pollutants and CO2, N2O, NO and other greenhouse gases in the sewage.

[0109] As Figure 11 The carboxylic acid is continuously transported to the treatment capacity of 30000 m 3 / d sewage treatment plant biological reactor (including anaerobic tank, anoxic tank and aerobic tank), after adding sludge fermentation liquid, the abundance of the main phosphorus removal key microorganisms in the anaerobic tank was significantly improved, Flavobacterium, Candidatus Accumul ibacter, Thauera and Dechloromonas, their abundance increased by 115%-149% compared with the blank group. At the same time, the addition of carboxylic acid also increased the abundance of key denitrification microorganisms, including Hyphomicrobium, Terrimonas and Pseudomonas. Figure 12 As shown in the results, after adding sludge fermentation broth, the abundance of the main denitrifying microorganisms in the reaction tank, Hyphomicrobium, Terrimonas, and Pseudomonas, increased by 106%-112% compared to the blank control. The carboxylic acids produced by the new process achieve clean and efficient wastewater biological treatment. Fermentation broth containing a certain amount of propionic acid (which accounts for more than 30% of the total carboxylic acids) achieves better nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates (an average increase of 25.4% and 31.3%, respectively), reduces CO2, N2O, NO, and sludge production (an average reduction of 71.1%, 65.3%, 23.4%, and 43.1%, respectively), and reduces the addition of chemical carbon sources in wastewater treatment plants by 38-100%. The process works as follows: the fermentation broth contains trace elements such as propionic acid and copper ions. The former enables the functional microorganisms to synthesize more polyhydroxyvaleric acid (PHV) during the anaerobic stage, resulting in the rate of its oxidative decomposition to generate energy and reducing power during the aerobic and anoxic stages more closely matching the rate of phosphorus absorption and denitrification, promoting phosphorus absorption and denitrification and reducing the production of CO2, N2O, and NO. The latter, a key component in the active center of various denitrifying reductases, promotes denitrification and reduces the accumulation of intermediate products. The input of this carboxylic acid can steadily increase the COD of the bioreactor by 57.2 mg / L, significantly promoting nitrogen and phosphorus removal, and saving a large amount of external carbon source addition. The direct economic benefits generated by the carbon source savings amount to 3.23 million yuan / year, while the indirect economic benefits generated by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions such as methane amount to 8 million yuan / year.

[0114] In summary, the fermentation device for recovering carboxylic acid while reducing greenhouse gas emission of the present application is used for collecting and processing all primary sludge and excess sludge from a sewage treatment plant to ferment and recover carboxylic acid, and can also ferment and produce carboxylic acid by mixing municipal kitchen waste and sludge, generate a specific ratio of carboxylic acid mixture through the operation and reaction parameter control of the fermentation device, significantly reduce the emission of methane and other greenhouse gases generated during fermentation, and the recovered carboxylic acid mixture can be added to the biological reaction tank of the sewage treatment plant to achieve clean and ultra-clean sewage treatment and the simultaneous and efficient removal of greenhouse gases such as CO2, N2O and NO during the reaction process, and the supernatant can be separated and purified to recover carboxylic acid industrial products to achieve resource recovery.

[0115] Compared with the effect of commonly purchased acetic acid chemicals as a supplemental carbon source in sewage treatment plants, the fermentation liquid containing a certain amount of propionic acid (which accounts for more than 30% of the total carboxylic acid) generated by the fermentation device of the present application from organic waste such as sludge and kitchen waste can obtain better nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates (an average increase of 25.4% and 31.3%, respectively), while producing less N2O, CO2 and sludge (an average reduction of 71.1%, 23.4% and 43.1%, respectively). The mechanism by which the increase in the proportion of propionic acid greatly improves the efficiency of sewage treatment is that propionic acid can make the sewage treatment functional microorganisms synthesize more polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) in the anaerobic stage, so that the rate of energy and reducing power produced by its oxidation and decomposition in the aerobic and anoxic stages is more matched with the rate of phosphorus absorption and denitrification, promoting phosphorus absorption and denitrification and reducing the production of CO2 and N2O.

[0116] Compared with the prior art, the fermentation device and method for recovering carboxylic acid while reducing greenhouse gas emission of the present application have at least the following advantages:

[0117] 1. Substrate metabolism regulation and greenhouse gas emission reduction

[0118] The present application combines hydraulic circulation and medicament regulation, and realizes uniform disturbance and reflux of sludge through the hydraulic circulation assembly, thereby improving the completeness and efficiency of the sludge fermentation process. The substrate metabolism regulation includes the regulation of pH value, temperature and trace element concentration in the fermentation device, which ensures the stability and optimization of the fermentation environment, promotes the conversion of sludge into efficient organic carbon sources (such as carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and valeric acid), and through the addition of the above-mentioned efficient organic carbon sources to the biological reaction tank, the abundance of denitrifying key microorganisms (such as Hyphomicrobium, Stenomphium and Pseudomonas, with an abundance increase of 6%-12%) can be significantly improved, the expression of denitrification key genes (such as polyphosphate kinase, PHA synthase and NO reductase) can be enhanced, denitrification can be promoted, the metabolic balance of functional microorganisms in the reaction tank can be regulated, the metabolic activity of non-functional microorganisms (such as methanogenic bacteria) can be inhibited, the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane can be avoided, and the goal of carbon emission reduction can be achieved.

[0119] 2. Integrated fermentation and product decanting separation

[0120] The integrated design of the fermentation container, decanting assembly and skimmer realizes efficient separation and direct utilization of fermentation products. The decanting assembly transports the fermentation-produced carboxylic acid supernatant to the nitrification tank, promoting the denitrification and phosphorus removal process, while the residual sludge after fermentation continues to enter the original sludge treatment process. This design simplifies the operation process, reduces the secondary treatment steps, and enables the fermentation products to be directly and efficiently applied to the wastewater treatment system.

[0121] 3. Energy-saving and environmentally-friendly insulation design

[0122] The present application maintains the temperature in the fermentation container between 35-55℃ using insulation equipment, fully utilizing the heat generated by sludge fermentation, without the need for a large amount of additional heat input. The present application provides a variety of low-energy insulation and heat exchange methods, which can be selected according to actual needs. Compared with the high-energy additional heating method of the prior art, the present application significantly reduces energy consumption, saves resources, and improves the environmental friendliness and economy of the device.

[0123] 4. High degree of automation and real-time monitoring

[0124] The present application studies the carboxylic acid concentration S V The calculation formula allows continuous monitoring of the temperature, pH and water quality inside the fermentation container by monitoring the electronic control assembly, and real-time adjustment of the operating parameters of each component based on the monitoring results to ensure that the device is in the best operating state. The high degree of automation and real-time monitoring function improves the operational stability and ease of operation of the device, reducing manual intervention and operational errors.

[0125] 5. No need for additional microbial strains

[0126] The integrated device of the present application can operate automatically after starting without the need for additional microbial strains, relying on its own system circulation and regulation to achieve efficient fermentation of sludge. This not only reduces operating costs, but also reduces the use of chemical agents and potential environmental impact, making the entire treatment process more environmentally friendly.

[0127] For those skilled in the art, various corresponding changes and modifications can be made to the above-described technical solutions and concepts, and all such changes and modifications should be within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
