Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sludge resource utilization, and particularly relates to a two-stage continuous sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis full-chain resource utilization process. Background Art

[0002] Most sewage treatment plants adopt the activated sludge process, generating a large amount of surplus sludge. The huge sludge output has seriously increased the operating cost of sewage treatment plants. Sludge is a complex organic mixture containing a large amount of macromolecular proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, and contains more microorganisms and pathogens. If the sludge is not harmlessly treated, it will pose a great threat to the environment. Therefore, realizing sludge reduction, resource utilization, and harmlessness is of great significance to the economic and social development.

[0003] The hydrothermal hydrolysis technology is an efficient hydrothermal treatment method. By means of high temperature and high pressure, it destroys the sludge cell wall and extracellular polymer, promotes the disintegration of the colloid structure and the release of intracellular organic matter, and at the same time promotes the hydrolysis of macromolecular organic matter into small molecule substances, which is beneficial to improving sludge dewatering and realizing sludge resource utilization. The efficiency of simple sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis is relatively low, so currently, alkali hydrothermal hydrolysis is mainly used, and the batch tank indirect heating process is mostly adopted; resulting in problems such as slow sludge heating, insufficient hydrothermal hydrolysis, difficult dehydration of hydrolysis liquid, serious pipeline corrosion, and the inability to directly utilize the filter press mud cake, which hinders the popularization and application of the hydrothermal hydrolysis technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a two-stage continuous sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis full-chain resource utilization process, which can solve the problems of long time consumption, incomplete reaction, difficult dehydration of hydrolysis liquid, inability to directly utilize the filter press mud cake, and pipeline corrosion in traditional batch sludge alkali hydrothermal hydrolysis.

[0005] Its technical solution is as follows: A two-stage continuous sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis full-chain resource utilization process, characterized in that it includes the following steps: Step (1): Mix sludge, carbon-rich waste, dosing water, and saturated steam evenly in the first steam-sludge mixing device to form high-temperature slurry; Step (2): Transport the prepared high-temperature slurry to the first hydrolysis and heat preservation unit for the first hydrolysis to obtain the primary sludge hydrolysis liquid; Step (3): Output the obtained sludge hydrolysis liquid to the first flash evaporation device to break the sludge cell wall, and at the same time recover the flash evaporation steam to the steam-sludge mixing device; Step (4): Re-heat the flash-evaporated primary hydrolysis liquid and saturated steam through the second steam-sludge mixing device, and then perform secondary heat preservation hydrolysis in the second hydrolysis and heat preservation unit; Step (5): Output the hydrolyzate after secondary hydrolysis to a secondary flash evaporation device to break the sludge cells again, while recovering the flash steam and reducing the temperature of the sludge hydrolyzate. Step (6): Output the hydrolyzate after secondary flash evaporation to a solid-liquid separation device to collect the filtrate and dry residue.

[0007] Further, in step (6), the secondary hydrolyzate is first temporarily stored and cooled in a cooling tank, and then solid-liquid separation is achieved through a plate and frame filter press device.

[0008] Further, in step (7), in the denitrification system, first adjust the pH to 9 - 10 by adding an alkaline agent, and use the stripping method for denitrification. The alkaline agent can be calcium oxide or sodium hydroxide, and the pH of the filtrate after denitrification is reduced to between 7 and 8.

[0009] Further, in step (7), the dry residue separated by solid-liquid separation is first crushed in the derived fuel preparation system, then mixed and extruded with wood chips to form fuel rods, and biomass-derived fuel is formed using low-temperature drying technology. The drying temperature is 80 - 100°C, the water content of the dry residue is reduced to less than 30%, the mass ratio of wood chips to the dry basis of the dry residue is 0.1 - 0.2, and the calorific value of the sludge-derived fuel is controlled at 2000 - 2500 kcal / kg. Further, in steps (1) and (4), the saturated steam is purchased from a nearby thermal power plant or obtained using a steam boiler, the temperature is 180°C - 200°C, and the steam-sludge mixing device is a spiral cone steam-sludge mixing device. Further, the outer surfaces of the hydrolysis heat preservation unit, flash evaporation device, and low-temperature drying device are all made of heat preservation materials.

When the dosage of the carbon-rich waste powder is 30% of the dry basis of the sludge, the secondary hot hydrolysis temperature is 150 °C, and the holding time is 50 minutes, the COD content of the filtrate generated by the solid-liquid separation system reaches 34,900 mg / L. The carbon-nitrogen ratio of the filtrate after denitrification is as high as over 80, and the moisture content of the filter cake after hydrolysis filtration is 48.5%. When preparing the derived fuel, when the dosage of the carbon-rich waste is 15% of the dry basis of the dry residue and the moisture content is 25%, the calorific value of the sludge-derived fuel is 2,285 kcal / kg, which is about 45.7% of the calorific value of lignite. Therefore, the present invention solves the technical problems of incomplete hydrolysis of municipal sludge, poor solid-liquid separation effect, and difficult outlet of dry residue filtrate, and realizes the full-chain energy and resource utilization of sludge.
