TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly relates to an intelligent controller and method for an aerobic section of an AAO process of a sewage treatment plant. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the aerobic section of the AAO process of a sewage treatment plant, a blower is usually used for aeration to provide dissolved oxygen, and a stirrer is used to maintain the mixing state of the water body to ensure that microorganisms and pollutants are in sufficient contact. However, in existing engineering applications, the blower and the stirrer are independently controlled. Even when the blower provides a large amount of oxygen and the gas turbulence has a stirring effect, the stirrer is still in a constant-on state, causing problems of energy waste and redundant operation of equipment. There is a lack of an effective linkage control mechanism to avoid the energy consumption superposition caused by the "repeated operation" of the blower and the stirrer. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an intelligent controller and method for an aerobic section of an AAO process of a sewage treatment plant. The method can avoid repeated stirring of the water body in the aerobic section under strong aeration by interlocking control of the blower and the stirrer, save about 20%-30% of the energy consumption of the stirrer, and effectively reduce the power consumption per unit of water quantity.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: An intelligent controller for an aerobic section of an AAO process of a sewage treatment plant, comprising: a state detection unit that acquires the running states of the blower and the stirrer in real time through a current sensor or a digital quantity input module; a water quality detection unit that detects real-time water quality data; a control host that receives the state signals of the blower and the stirrer and the water quality data, and executes an embedded linkage control logic; an output control unit that linkage controls the start and stop of the blower and the stirrer.

[0005] Preferably, the output control unit is a relay or a thyristor.

[0006] Preferably, the control host is a PLC or an embedded chip.

[0008] The application also provides an intelligent control method for an aerobic section of an AAO process of a sewage treatment plant, which is performed by using the intelligent controller for the aerobic section of the AAO process of the sewage treatment plant. X(t) = [d(t), o(t), g(t), L(t)]; In the formula, d(t) is the real-time dissolved oxygen concentration (mg / L); o(t) is the real-time oxidation-reduction potential (mV); g(t) is the real-time stirring intensity index; and L(t) is the influent load coefficient, which is dimensionless. The output vector is: Y(t) = [B(t), M(t)]; In the formula, B(t) ∈ {0, 1} represents the state of the air blower, 0 = off, and 1 = on; and M(t) ∈ {0, 1} represents the state of the stirrer, 0 = off, and 1 = on.

[0009] Preferably, the control logic comprises rule one: sufficient dissolved oxygen and sufficient stirring, that is, when the following conditions are met: d(t) > Dhigh, g(t) ≥ Gmin; Execution: B(t) = 0, M(t) = 1; In the formula, Dhigh = 2.5 mg / L, and Gmin = 0.6.

[0010] Preferably, the control logic comprises rule two: insufficient dissolved oxygen or abnormal oxidation-reduction potential, that is, when one of the following conditions is met: d(t) < Dlow, o(t) < Omin; Execution: B(t) = 1, M(t) = 0; In the formula, Dlow = 1.5 mg / L, and Omin = 100 mV.

[0011] Preferably, the control logic comprises rule three: insufficient stirring intensity, that is, when the following condition is met: g(t) < Gcrit; Execution: B(t) = 1, M(t) = 1; In the formula, Gcrit = 0.4.

[0012] Preferably, the control logic comprises a time sequence control rule: When it is detected that B(t) changes from 0 to 1, the controller immediately outputs M(t) = 0, and the response delay is ≤ 50 ms; When it is detected that B(t) changes from 1 to 0, a timer t = 0 is started, and when t ≥ Ns, the default N = 30, M(t) = 1 is output.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes abnormal power failure recovery control rules: After system restart, if d(t) < Dlow, the blower is started first; if d(t) >= Dlow, the agitator is started to maintain mixing.

[0014] The present application can achieve the following beneficial effects: The present application has significant energy saving effect, and can make the operation of the sewage plant more economical. Through the interlocking control of the blower and the agitator, repeated stirring of the water body in the strong aeration state in the aerobic section is avoided, the agitator energy consumption is saved by about 20%-30%, the unit water treatment power consumption is effectively reduced, and the green operation of the sewage plant is facilitated.

[0015] The present application has simple structure, easy integration and modification. The controller has exquisite structure and clear modules, without the need to greatly modify the original electric control system, only the current detection module and control output need to be connected in series between the blower and the agitator, so that the linkage can be realized, the installation and debugging period is short, and the cost is low.

[0026] As shown in the following table:

[0027] The present application uses the above key monitoring parameters as control logic input, and combines water quality in real time to control the blower and the agitator in linkage, so that the aerobic section is in the best operating state in real time.

[0028] In the control process, the present application includes the following control rules: Rule one: when the dissolved oxygen is sufficient and the agitation is sufficient, i.e. when the following conditions are met: d(t)>Dhigh, g(t)≥Gmin; Execution: B(t)=0, M(t)=1; Wherein: Dhigh=2.5mg / L, Gmin=0.6; Rule two: when the dissolved oxygen is insufficient or the oxidation-reduction potential is abnormal, i.e. when one of the following conditions is met: d(t)<Dlow, o(t)<Omin; Execution: B(t)=1, M(t)=0; Wherein: Dlow=1.5mg / L, Omin=100mV; Rule three: when the agitation intensity is insufficient, i.e. when the following condition is met: g(t)<Gcrit; Execution: B(t)=1, M(t)=1; Wherein: Gcrit=0.4.
