Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly relates to an intelligent chemical dosing module for a sewage treatment system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of sewage treatment, the AO+MBR system, which combines the AO (anoxic-aerobic) process with the MBR (membrane bioreactor) technology, has been widely adopted. This combination not only effectively removes pollutants such as organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in sewage, but also meets relatively high sewage treatment standards. To ensure the normal progress of microbial metabolic activities and the high efficiency of the denitrification and phosphorus removal process, it is usually necessary to add appropriate amounts of carbon sources and phosphorus-removing chemical agents to this system.
[0003] However, in traditional operations, whether it is manual chemical dosing or an automated chemical dosing method based on fixed time intervals and preset dosages, it is difficult to meet the requirements of modern sewage treatment. The former has problems such as low accuracy, high labor intensity, and slow response; the latter lacks flexibility, cannot respond in a timely manner to changes in water quality and quantity, and is prone to improper use of chemical agents, either too much or too little, which in turn affects the treatment effect and cost control.
[0004] With the development of the intelligent and refined trend in the water treatment industry and the continuous improvement of the requirements for effluent quality, the development of an intelligent chemical dosing module has become particularly crucial. This advanced solution can monitor and adapt to changes in the system state in real time, and automatically adjust the quantity of chemical agents required according to the actual water quality and quantity conditions. It can accurately dispense chemical agents, avoid waste and over-dosing, thereby improving the treatment efficiency and ensuring the compliance of the effluent. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments
[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention, the following further illustrates the present invention with specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments cited are only for the illustration of the present invention and not for the limitation of the present invention.
[0018] As Figure 1 shown, an intelligent chemical dosing module for a sewage treatment system includes a sewage treatment system and an intelligent chemical dosing module. The sewage treatment system includes an anoxic tank 1, an aerobic tank 2, and an MBR tank 3 connected in sequence. An aeration and stirring system 21 is provided in the anoxic tank 1, an aeration system 22 is provided in the aerobic tank 2, and an MBR membrane module 23 is provided in the MBR tank 3. The anoxic tank 1 is externally connected to a biochemical tank influent pipe 14, and a biochemical tank influent flowmeter 7 provided on the biochemical tank influent pipe 14 is connected to the PLC 18 through a signal transmission line 16; The intelligent chemical dosing module includes a chemical storage unit 5, a water quality and quantity monitoring unit, a PLC 18, a chemical dosing execution unit, etc. The chemical storage unit 5 includes a carbon source storage tank and a phosphorus removal chemical storage tank. A stirring and mixing device 4 is provided in both the carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank. The carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank are both provided with liquid level sensors 6 and are connected to the PLC. The water quality and quantity monitoring unit includes an influent water quality online monitoring system 20 and an effluent water quality online monitoring system 19 connected to the PLC 18. The chemical dosing execution unit includes a metering pump 26 and a chemical dosing pipe 15. One end of the chemical dosing pipe 15 is installed into the anoxic tank 15, and the other end is divided into two paths and installed into the carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank respectively. On the chemical dosing pipe 15 near the carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank within the intelligent chemical dosing module, there are a chemical dosing pipe flowmeter 8, a chemical dosing pipe electric control valve 9, a chemical dosing pipe damper 10, a chemical dosing pipe back pressure valve 11, a chemical dosing pipe pressure relief valve 12, a chemical dosing pipe ball valve 13, and a pressure sensor 24, all of which are connected to the PLC 18 through a signal transmission line 16. A Y-type filter 25 is also provided at the position near the water outlet ends of the carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank on the chemical dosing pipe 15.
[0019] The carbon source storage tank and the phosphorus removal chemical storage tank are connected to tap water through a tap water pipe, and a tap water pipe electric control valve 17 connected to the PLC 18 through a signal transmission line 16 is provided on the tap water pipe.
[0020] An intelligent algorithm based on logic control is preset in the PLC 18. This algorithm can comprehensively consider factors such as influent water quality, water quantity, the metabolic state of microorganisms in the biochemical reaction tank, effluent water quality requirements, and the historical data of system operation, and dynamically adjust the dosing amounts of the carbon source and the phosphorus removal chemical. For example, when the influent COD content is low and the ammonia nitrogen content is high, the algorithm determines that the carbon source in the system is insufficient and needs to increase the dosing amount of the carbon source to promote the denitrification reaction; when the total phosphorus content in the biochemical reaction tank exceeds the set threshold, the algorithm automatically increases the dosing amount of the phosphorus removal chemical.
[0021] The PLC 18 is connected to a remote monitoring center through wireless communication. Staff can view in real time information such as the operation status of the intelligent chemical dosing module, water quality monitoring data, and chemical dosing records in the remote monitoring center. At the same time, the remote monitoring center can also send control instructions to the PLC 18 to perform remote operation and parameter adjustment on the intelligent chemical dosing module, realizing intelligent remote management.
[0022] Working principle Use the influent flowmeter of the biochemical tank, the online effluent water quality monitoring system, and the influent water quality monitoring system to detect in real time the influent flow rate and the water quality parameters (such as COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, etc.) of the influent and effluent entering the "AO + MBR sewage treatment system", and transmit the data to the PLC. The PLC receives the data and analyzes the data information through the internally preset algorithm. Based on the logic control and historical data, the PLC dynamically adjusts the demand for carbon source and phosphorus removal agents to meet the specific requirements of the sewage treatment process; After the PLC calculates the required dosage of the agent, it sends a clear control instruction to the dosing execution unit. The metering pump controls the flow rate through frequency conversion according to the received instruction information, and at the same time adjusts the electric control valve of the dosing pipe, precisely extracts and transports an appropriate amount of carbon source or phosphorus removal agent from the agent storage unit: carbon source storage tank or phosphorus removal agent storage tank, and transports it to the designated position of the sewage treatment system through the dosing pipe. During the dosing process, the dosing pipe flowmeter and pressure sensor set on the dosing pipe monitor the dosing flow rate and the pressure in the dosing pipeline in real time, and feedback the data to the PLC. The PLC monitors and adjusts the dosing process in real time according to the feedback data to ensure the accuracy and stability of dosing. At the same time, the liquid level sensor monitors the liquid level of the agent in the carbon source storage tank or phosphorus removal agent storage tank in real time. When the liquid level is lower than the set lower limit value, the PLC issues an alarm to remind the staff to replenish the agent, and at the same time opens the electric control valve of the tap water pipe to replenish tap water.
[0023] Since the PLC is connected to the remote monitoring center through wireless communication, the staff can also view in real time information such as the operating status of the intelligent dosing module, the water quality monitoring data, and the dosing records through the remote monitoring center. If parameter adjustment or remote operation of the dosing module is required, control instructions can be sent to the PLC end through the remote monitoring center.
