[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0048] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0050] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] Reference Figures 1-4 A continuous flow aerobic granular sludge self-recirculation reactor includes a support section and a barrier section. The support section is used to support the barrier section to prevent water flow dispersion. The barrier section is located inside the support section and is used for the removal of pollutants.

[0053] The support includes a base plate 1, a first baffle plate 2, and a second baffle plate 3. The second baffle plate 3 is fixed at both ends of the top of the base plate 1, and the first baffle plate 2 is fixed on both sides of the top of the base plate 1. The first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 are fixed together, so that the sludge mixture can flow inside the support composed of the base plate 1, the first baffle plate 2, and the second baffle plate 3. The two sides of the inside of one end of the second baffle plate 3 are respectively fixed with an inlet pipe 4 and an outlet pipe 5, so that water can enter the interior of the support through the inlet pipe 4 and be discharged through the outlet pipe 5 after circulation.

[0054] In this embodiment, a water pump is fixed at the end of the water inlet pipe 4 away from the second barrier plate 3. The input end of the water pump is located in the water inlet tank, so that water can be fed into the interior of the support part through the water pump and the water inlet pipe 4.

[0055] The barrier includes:

[0056] The partition plate 6 is fixed inside the support part and is used to divide the support part into a first cavity and a second cavity;

[0057] Water flow hole 7 is located inside one end of partition plate 6 and is used to allow water inside the first cavity to enter the second cavity through water flow hole 7;

[0058] The return hole 8 is located inside the other end of the partition plate 6 and at the top of the water flow hole 7. It is used to allow water inside the second cavity to flow back into the first cavity through the return hole 8.

[0059] The first turbulence component is located inside the first cavity and is used to turbulent the water entering through the water inlet pipe 4;

[0060] The first turbulence assembly includes a turbulence element, a third partition 11, and a fourth partition 12. The fourth partition 12 is fixed to the top of one side of the partition 6, and the third partition 11 is fixed to the top of one side of the partition 6 and at one end of the fourth partition 12. This allows water to pass through the bottom of the third partition 11 and the fourth partition 12 before entering the interior of the second cavity through the water flow hole 7. A turbulence element is installed on one side of the partition 6 and at the end of the third partition 11 away from the fourth partition 12. This allows water that enters the interior of the first cavity through the water inlet pipe 4 to be turbulent by the turbulence element and then flow into the bottom of the third partition 11.

[0061] The flow-disrupting component includes a first baffle 9 and a second baffle 10. The first baffle 9 is fixed to the top of one side of the baffle 6 and is located at the end of the return hole 8 near the water inlet pipe 4, so that the water entering through the water inlet pipe 4 can only flow through the gap between the bottom of the first baffle 9 and the bottom plate 1. The second baffle 10 is fixed to the bottom of one side of the baffle 6 and at one end of the first baffle 9, so that the water flowing through the bottom of the first baffle 9 can only continue to flow through the top of the second baffle 10.

[0062] Preferably, an aerobic zone is formed inside the first cavity and between the third partition 11 and the first partition 9, and an anoxic zone is formed inside the first cavity and at the end of the first partition 9 away from the third partition 11.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are two sets of flow-dispersing components. In other embodiments, the number can be set as needed, so that the water flow can be made smooth by the flow-dispersing components.

[0064] The second turbulence component, located inside the second cavity, is used to turbulent the water entering the second cavity.

[0065] The second turbulence assembly includes a fifth partition 13, a sedimentation plate 15, and a sixth partition 16. The fifth partition 13 and the sixth partition 16 are fixed to the top of the other side of the partition plate 6 and to both ends of the return hole 8, respectively. The sixth partition 16 is located at the end of the fifth partition 13 near the water flow hole 7, so that water can enter the second cavity through the water flow hole 7, and then enter between the fifth partition 13 and the sixth partition 16 through the bottom of the sixth partition 16. When the water level is high, it flows back into the first cavity through the return hole 8. A flow groove 14 is opened at the top of the interior of the fifth partition 13, and the bottom end of the flow groove 14 is located at the bottom of the return hole 8, and the top end of the flow groove 14 is located at the top of the return hole 8. The sedimentation plate 15 is fixed at an incline on the bottom of one side of the partition plate 6 and at the bottom end of the fifth partition 13, so that the sludge can settle by its own weight and the incline of the sedimentation plate 15.

[0066] Preferably, an aerobic zone is formed inside the second cavity and between the fifth partition 13 and the partition plate 6, an anoxic zone is formed inside the second cavity and at the end of the sixth partition 16 away from the fifth partition 13, and a sedimentation zone is formed inside the second cavity and at the end of the fifth partition 13 away from the sixth partition 16.

[0067] In this embodiment, an existing timing control system is also included, which can automatically control the aeration time.

[0068] The operation process of the continuous flow aerobic granular sludge self-recirculation reactor and method provided by this invention is as follows: During operation, influent enters the first chamber through the influent pipe 4. The water then flows through the turbulence of the first baffle 9, second baffle 10, third baffle 11, and fourth baffle 12, before flowing into the second chamber through the water flow hole 7. Inside the second chamber, due to the liquid level difference, the water enters the aerobic zone through the bottom of the sixth baffle 16. The water then flows through the flow channel 14 and the bottom of the fifth baffle 13 into the sedimentation zone. Simultaneously, the sludge in the sedimentation zone sinks due to gravity and passes through the sedimentation plate 15. The tilting mechanism allows larger particles to settle and flow back into the aerobic zone of the second chamber. Simultaneously, the rising air bubbles generated by aeration in the aerobic zone of the second chamber cause the liquid level to rise. At this point, the liquid level difference between the aerobic zone and the aerobic zone in the first chamber promotes the self-recirculation of sludge, causing it to flow back into the aerobic zone of the first chamber. At the same time, the rising air bubbles in the aerobic zone of the first chamber also cause the liquid level to rise, thus promoting the self-circulation of sludge between the first and second chambers through the liquid level difference, forming an internal circulation of granular sludge. Furthermore, the use of a pressure differential drive system avoids damage to the AGS by peristaltic pumps, and the post-anoxic aerobic tank and aerobic tank improve the removal efficiency of pollutants.

[0071] S1: Water enters the first cavity through the water inlet pipe 4 and forms turbulence through the first partition 9, the second partition 10, the third partition 11 and the fourth partition 12;

[0072] S2: The water flowing through the bottom of the fourth partition 12 enters the second cavity through the water flow hole 7 and forms turbulence through the sixth partition 16 and the fifth partition 13;

[0073] S3: Through the sedimentation plate 15, the particles and sediment in the sedimentation zone of the water flow in the second chamber settle by their own weight and flow into the aerobic zone of the second chamber.

[0074] S4: Controls aeration in the aerobic zone inside the second chamber, and achieves liquid reflux between the second and first chambers through the reflux hole 8.
