Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and specifically to a BioWin-based MABR aeration control system and method. Background Technique
[0002] As a new sewage treatment technology, the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) combines the advantages of the biofilm method and bubbleless aeration, and has characteristics such as high efficiency and energy conservation. However, the MABR process is affected by various factors during actual operation, such as dissolved oxygen concentration, substrate concentration, microbial community structure, etc., resulting in unstable treatment effects and difficulty in achieving the best operating state. Taking aeration control as an example, traditional operation control methods often rely on the empirical range of dissolved oxygen, lacking accuracy and scientificity, and unable to fully exploit the energy-saving and carbon-reducing potential of the MABR process.
[0003] As a widely used simulation software, BioWin can perform real-time simulation analysis and even prediction on sewage treatment systems. However, the current method of combining BioWin with the MABR process for optimized operation is not yet perfect, and there is an urgent need to develop a more effective BioWin-based MABR aeration control system and method.

To achieve the above technical features, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A BioWin-based MABR aeration control system is installed in the anoxic section of the sewage treatment system, and includes a monitoring feedforward module, a calculation and control module, and an execution and feedback module.
[0005] The monitoring feedforward module is arranged in the anoxic section and includes a sewage flowmeter, an on-line COD monitor, an on-line TN monitor, an on-line NH3-N monitor, a temperature sensor, an OTE on-line monitor, a DO on-line monitor, and an air flowmeter, which are used to monitor the sewage flow, water quality indicators, sewage temperature, oxygen transfer performance indicators and output feedforward signals; The calculation and control module is arranged in the anoxic section and includes a BW controller and a PLC system. It is connected to the monitoring feedforward module and the execution feedback module. The feedforward signal is input into the BW controller, and through PID control, a regulation signal is output to the PLC system. The PLC system outputs a regulation signal to the execution feedback module and receives the feedback signal from the execution feedback module, and then outputs the feedback signal to the BW controller. The execution feedback module is arranged in the anoxic section and includes a regulating valve and an aeration blower. It is connected to the calculation and control module and is used to receive the regulation signal and output the feedback signal to the calculation and control module.
[0006] Furthermore, the anoxic section includes an anoxic tank, an MABR membrane box, and an aeration pipeline. The MABR membrane box is installed in the anoxic tank, and the aeration pipeline connects the aeration blower to the MABR membrane box.
[0007] Furthermore, the sewage flowmeter is installed at the inlet of the anoxic section. The COD on-line monitor is installed at the inlet and outlet of the anoxic section respectively. The TN on-line monitor is installed at the inlet of the anoxic section. The NH3-N on-line monitor is installed at the outlet of the anoxic section.

The regulating valve and the air flowmeter are installed on the aeration pipeline, and the valve opening signal and the air flow in the aeration pipeline are fed back to the PLC system.
[0008] Furthermore, the sewage flowmeter selects at least one of an ultrasonic flowmeter and an electromagnetic flowmeter. The regulating valve selects at least one of a ball valve, a butterfly valve, and a gate valve. The aeration blower selects at least one of a Roots blower, an axial flow blower, a centrifugal blower, or a suspended blower.
[0009] Furthermore, the theoretical oxygen demand calculation formula pre-stored in the BW controller is:

S3. Establish TOD and OTR variables in the BW controller. Adopt the PID control method to calculate the deviation e(t) = OTR(t) - TOD(t) based on the target value TOD and the actual value OTR, and through the formula: Calculate the control quantity u(t); where, Kp is the proportional coefficient; Ki is the integral coefficient; Kd is the differential coefficient; S4. According to the calculation result of the BW controller, transmit the regulation signal to the PLC system. The PLC system regulates the control valve and the aeration fan, and receives the feedback signals of the opening degree of the control valve and the air flow rate of the aeration pipe to achieve precise control of the aeration system.
