Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sludge conditioning, concentration and dehydration in sewage treatment plants, and in particular to a production process for sludge conditioning and dehydration in sewage treatment plants. Background Art
[0002] More than a decade ago, the state introduced a new sludge disposal standard (sewage treatment plant dewatering sludge moisture content ≤ 80%, deep dewatering mixed landfill sludge moisture content ≤ 60%), the water treatment industry, a high-pressure mechanical filter press dewatering process or thermal drying dewatering process and other deep dewatering processes, but the current sewage treatment plant sludge conditioning dewatering production process, has not made any changes, still using the old method, the current sludge conditioning dewatering production process, the distribution of dewatering tasks in each section is unreasonable, it is difficult to meet the standards, the production cost is high; the current process does not follow the mechanical dewatering machine The dewatering principle requirements of the dewatering device (low sludge viscosity and elasticity, less intermittent water and capillary water, less use of polyacrylamide, and the presence of a pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channels) make it difficult to produce sludge that meets the standards, and the production cost is high, especially for high-organic matter sludge (organic matter content ≥ 65%). At the same time, the new process developed later also puts forward the same principle requirements for the sludge conditioning and dewatering production process of sewage treatment plants (low sludge viscosity and elasticity, less intermittent water and capillary water, less use of polyacrylamide, and the presence of a pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channels).
[0003] The current sludge conditioning and dehydration production process is as follows: the thin sludge after biochemical treatment in the sewage treatment plant flows into the sludge storage tank or the concentration tank. After being concentrated into thick sludge, polyacrylamide is added in the pipeline, mixed, and stirred in a mixing barrel before entering a belt filter press or a stacked screw dehydrator for mechanical dehydration to produce semi-solid sludge. At this point, the sludge conditioning and dehydration production process of the sewage plant is completed. Then, after a deep dehydration process such as mechanical filter pressing or thermal drying, it is produced into solid sludge, which is then landfilled, incinerated, or recycled. This is the entire sludge disposal process.
[0004] In the current sludge conditioning and dewatering production process, the dehydration tasks are unreasonably allocated in the sludge-water separation and concentration section, the polyacrylamide flocculation section, and the mechanical dewatering (belt machine gravity dewatering, wedge dewatering, and medium-high pressure dewatering) and other dewatering process sections. In the sludge-water separation and concentration process section of sludge, dehydration is the easiest and the cost is extremely low. It should complete more than 50% of the dehydration tasks of the whole process. However, in the concentration and dewatering production process of most sewage treatment plants, only less than 20% of the dehydration tasks of the whole process are completed. Some even do not dehydrate, leaving more than 50% of the dehydration tasks of the process to the limited mechanical dewatering to complete. The task is too heavy and the mechanical dewatering cannot be achieved, resulting in difficulties in meeting the sludge dehydration standards in sewage treatment plants. In addition, mechanical dewatering machines are very difficult to handle sludge with too much intermittent water and capillary water, and are also difficult to handle sludge with too much elasticity and viscosity. Mechanical dewatering requires a pressure skeleton and a hydrophobic channel. Therefore, the principle of the sludge conditioning and dewatering production process is: gradually decreasing and segmental dehydration, each section tries its best to dehydrate, and the dehydration in the previous section should create favorable conditions for the dehydration in the subsequent section, reduce the intermittent water and capillary water of the sludge, and reduce the viscosity and elasticity of the sludge to create a sufficient pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channel for mechanical dewatering; the dissolved oxygen in the sludge is one of the reasons for the large amount of intermittent water and capillary water. Therefore, during the sludge conditioning process, the water pressure and time should be used to release the dissolved oxygen, and at the same time, the sludge density should be increased and the microscopic intermittence of the sludge mass should be reduced. However, in the current sludge conditioning, polyacrylamide is directly used for flocculation, and the microscopic intermittence of the sludge mass is too large, which is another reason for the excessive intermittent water and capillary water in the sludge; moreover, when directly using polyacrylamide to condition the sludge, the dosage of polyacrylamide will be very large, which will increase the elasticity and viscosity of the sludge and damage the pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channel. Therefore, in view of the above problems, a sewage treatment plant sludge conditioning and dewatering production process is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a sewage treatment plant sludge conditioning and dewatering production process to solve the problem that in the dehydration process sections such as the sludge-water separation and concentration section, the polyacrylamide flocculation section, and the mechanical dewatering (belt machine gravity dewatering, wedge dewatering, and medium-high pressure dewatering), the dehydration task allocation is unreasonable. In the sludge-water separation and concentration process section, dehydration is the easiest and the cost is extremely low. More than 50% of the dehydration task of the whole process should be completed. However, in the concentration and dewatering production process of most sewage treatment plants, only less than 20% of the dehydration task of the whole process is completed, and some even do not dehydrate, leaving more than 50% of the task of the process to the limited mechanical dewatering to complete. The task is too heavy and the mechanical dewatering cannot be achieved, resulting in difficulties in meeting the sewage treatment plant sludge dewatering standard. In addition, it is very difficult for mechanical dewatering machines to handle sludge with too high content of intermittent water and capillary water, and it is also difficult to handle sludge with too high elasticity and viscosity. Mechanical dewatering requires a pressure skeleton and a hydrophobic channel. Therefore, the principle of the sludge conditioning and dewatering production process is: gradually decreasing and segmental dehydration, each section tries its best to dehydrate, and the dehydration in the previous section should create favorable conditions for the dehydration in the subsequent section, reduce the intermittent water and capillary water of the sludge, and reduce the viscosity and elasticity of the sludge to create a sufficient pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channel for mechanical dewatering; the dissolved oxygen in the sludge is one of the reasons for the large amount of intermittent water and capillary water; during the sludge conditioning process, the water pressure and time should be used to release the dissolved oxygen, and at the same time, the sludge density should be increased and the microscopic intermittence of the sludge mass should be reduced. However, in the current sludge conditioning, polyacrylamide is directly used for flocculation, and the microscopic intermittence of the sludge mass is too large, which is another reason for the too large intermittent water and capillary water of the sludge; and directly using polyacrylamide to condition the sludge will result in a large amount of polyacrylamide, which will increase the elasticity and viscosity of the sludge and damage the pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channel. In order to reduce the intermittent water and capillary water of the conditioned sludge, and also to reduce the elasticity and viscosity of the conditioned sludge, and at the same time increase the pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channel, it is necessary to reduce the addition amount of polyacrylamide and add a certain amount of iron salt or aluminum salt first; and use the pool depth pressure and time to release the dissolved oxygen to further reduce the intermittent water and capillary water; in order to further reduce polyacrylamide, control the conditioned sludge concentration within the range suitable for polyacrylamide to exert its effect, and ensure the reaction time and the best conditions; in order to further reduce the mechanical dewatering task, add a flocculation and concentration process section.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A sewage treatment plant sludge conditioning and dewatering production process, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Ferric salt or aluminum salt addition process section: Before the sludge enters the thickening tank or the sludge storage tank, ferric salt or aluminum salt is added. Through uniform stirring, the inorganic salts are fully dispersed, and according to the sludge concentration and sludge volume, the dosing concentration, dosing amount, stirring speed, and stirring time of ferric salt or aluminum salt are matched to reduce the viscosity and elasticity of the sludge. At the same time, it provides a microscopic pressure skeleton and a hydrophobic channel for the subsequent mechanical dewatering process, and also provides a microscopic hydrophobic channel for the deep dehydration and heat drying process, and can reduce the interstitial water and capillary water of the conditioned sludge;

During the dewatering process, the gravity and pressure dewatering time are optimized and lengthened, and the pressure is adjusted to maintain the pressure difference between the upper and lower belts for dewatering.
[0015] For the sludge conditioned by the present invention, in the belt gravity dewatering process section, the dewatering effect is slightly inferior to that of the sludge in the traditional conditioning process, and the gravity dewatering time needs to be longer than the current process; while in the belt pressure section, the dewatering effect is significantly better than that of the sludge in the traditional conditioning process, and the greater the pressure, the more obvious it is.

[0021] As a further optimized content of the present invention, wherein: in the process section of adding polyacrylamide in step three, polyacrylamide is added through a pipeline mixer.

In the present invention, by reasonably allocating the tasks of each dewatering process section, in the mud - water separation and concentration process section, more than 50% of the dewatering tasks are completed, reducing the burden of mechanical dewatering and improving the overall dewatering efficiency. By lengthening the residence time and water pressure, dissolved oxygen is released and the sludge density is increased. By introducing ferric salts or aluminum salts for conditioning, the sludge viscosity and elasticity are reduced, the pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channels of the sludge are increased, and the interstitial water and capillary water of the sludge are reduced. The polyacrylamide addition process is optimized to use less polyacrylamide, reduce the elasticity and viscosity of the sludge, and less damage the pressure skeleton and hydrophobic channels of the sludge. A new flocculation and concentration process section is added to increase the sludge static settling time, enhance the structural stability of the sludge, utilize the water pressure to concentrate the sludge, and further reduce the mechanical dewatering tasks, thereby improving the mechanical dewatering and deep dewatering effects. Therefore, the process of the present invention reduces the difficulty of mechanical dewatering, reduces the moisture content of the produced sludge by at least 5 percentage points compared with the original process, reduces the water content of the sludge produced by the sewage treatment plant by more than 25% compared with the original process, and also reduces the production process cost of the subsequent sludge deep dewatering.
[0027] 2. In the present invention, the chemical dosing cost of the production process of the present invention is 47.9% of that of the original production process. The production process of the present invention reduces the use of polyacrylamide by 67% compared with the original production process. Since polyacrylamide is very difficult to degrade and will cause pollution to water and soil, therefore, a large reduction in the use of polyacrylamide can not only facilitate mechanical pressure filtration dehydration, but also reduce the degree of harm to the environment and increase the economic value of sludge resource utilization.
