[0002] Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology, a wastewater treatment process combining ultrafiltration / microfiltration membrane separation with activated sludge, has developed rapidly due to its advantages such as good effluent quality, small footprint, and low sludge production. Currently, MBR projects with a capacity of over 10,000 tons account for more than 10% of the total wastewater treatment capacity. However, due to the high-precision membrane retention and long sludge age characteristics of the MBR process, the sludge contains high levels of impurities such as sand, slag, and microplastics, resulting in a low MLVSS / MLSS ratio in the activated sludge, typically only 0.4-0.5. To ensure wastewater treatment efficiency, wastewater treatment plants need to maintain a high sludge concentration, leading to low oxygen transfer efficiency, rapid membrane fouling, and long sludge age making dewatering difficult.

Wastewater enters the MBR unit after passing through a pretreatment unit 1. The MBR unit comprises an anaerobic tank 2, a pre-anoxic tank 4, an aerobic tank 5, a post-anoxic tank 7, and a membrane tank 9 arranged sequentially. Agitators 3 are installed in the anaerobic tank 2, the pre-anoxic tank 4, and the post-anoxic tank 7 of the MBR unit, an aerator 6 is installed in the aerobic tank 5, and a membrane module 10 is placed in the membrane tank 9. The membrane tank 9 in the MBR unit can be aerated using a blower 8 or controlled for membrane fouling using a vibrating motor 11. When aeration is used with a blower, the air-to-water ratio in the membrane tank is 6-10. When a vibrating motor is used, the membrane module 10 achieves horizontal reciprocating motion via the vibrating motor 11, with a vibration frequency of 0.5-1Hz and an amplitude of 5-10cm. In the MBR system, reflux 1 is as follows: reflux from the end of the pre-anoxic tank 4 to the front of the anaerobic tank 2, with the ratio of reflux flow rate to influent flow rate being the reflux ratio R1; reflux 2 is as follows: reflux from the end of the aerobic tank 5 to the front of the pre-anoxic tank 4, with the ratio of reflux flow rate to influent flow rate being the reflux ratio R2; reflux 3 is as follows: when the membrane tank uses blower 8 for aeration, reflux from the end of membrane tank 9 to the front of the aerobic tank 5, with the ratio of reflux flow rate to influent flow rate being the reflux ratio R3; when the membrane tank uses vibrating motor 11, reflux from the end of membrane tank 9 to the front of the pre-anoxic tank 4, with the ratio of reflux flow rate to influent flow rate being the reflux ratio R3.

The inlet of the feed pump 12 is located in the return channel of the MBR membrane tank 9, the return outlet is located in the water distribution channel of the MBR membrane tank 9, and the sludge discharge outlet is located before the excess sludge discharge pump. The sludge property improvement unit 13 is equipped with an intelligent control module that adjusts operating parameters, including feed flow rate, sludge discharge ratio, and operating time, in real time based on information such as influent and effluent water quality and sludge concentration.
[0043] In this embodiment, the sludge property improvement unit 13 is connected to the MBR membrane tank 9 through an inlet and a return outlet. Excess sludge from the MBR unit is discharged through the sludge discharge outlet of the sludge property improvement unit, replacing the conventional sludge discharge method of the MBR unit. Online sludge concentration (MLSS) meters and water quality monitoring instruments are installed in the influent and MBR membrane tank 9 to monitor sludge concentration and effluent water quality. Combined with the influent water quality, a suitable range for sludge concentration in the MBR unit is determined.
[0044] In this embodiment, specifically, the sludge property improvement unit 13 is equipped with an intelligent control module. A pressure gauge and a flow meter are installed at the feed inlet, and an online MLSS meter and a flow meter are installed at the sludge discharge outlet.

[0047] 1) After pretreatment, the wastewater to be treated enters anaerobic tank 2 and is mixed with sludge. Under anaerobic stirring conditions, it stays for 1-3 hours with MLSS of 3-5 g / L.
[0048] 2) The sludge mixture from anaerobic tank 2 is pushed into pre-anoxic tank 4 and held for 4-6 hours under stirring conditions, with MLSS of 6-8 g / L.
[0049] 3) The sludge mixture from the pre-anoxic tank 4 is pushed into the aerobic tank 5 and stays for 4-6 hours under aeration and oxygenation conditions. The DO concentration in the aeration zone of the aerobic tank is 0.5-2 mg / L and the MLSS is 8-10 g / L.
[0050] 4) The sludge mixture from aerobic tank 5 is pushed into anoxic tank 7 and held for 3-4 hours under stirring conditions, with MLSS of 8-10 g / L.
[0051] 5) The sludge mixture from the post-anoxic tank 7 is pushed into the membrane tank 9, where it stays for 1.5 hours. The MLSS is 12-15 g / L. The membrane tank separates the sludge and water by pumping the permeate.
[0052] 6) The reflux ratio R1 is 100%-200%, the reflux ratio R2 is 200%-600%, when the membrane tank 9 uses the blower 8 to aerate and control membrane fouling, the reflux ratio R3 is 400%-500%, and when the membrane tank uses the vibrating motor 11 to control membrane fouling, the reflux ratio R3 is 200%-300%.
[0053] 7) The sludge mixed liquor from MBR membrane tank 9 is pumped into sludge property improvement unit 13 through the feed inlet located in the return channel of MBR membrane tank 9. The sludge from the return inlet returns to the water distribution channel of MBR membrane tank 9, and the remaining sludge is discharged from the sludge discharge outlet. The daily sludge discharge volume is determined by calculation based on the influent and effluent water quality and the sludge concentration in the membrane tank. The calculation process is as follows:

[0058] The remaining sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge port of sludge property improvement unit 13, according to the MLSS of the sludge discharge port. 排 and its relationship with MBR membrane pool 9MLSS 膜 Adjust the MLSS concentration ratio (MLSS factor) to control the feed and discharge flow rates. The discharge flow rate should be 5%-15% of the unit's feed flow rate to ensure adequate MLSS concentration at the discharge port. 排 The concentration ratio is between 1.4 and 4 times, while the inlet pressure is controlled within a safe and economical range (≤0.3MPa).
[0059] Furthermore, based on the MLSS of the sludge discharge port 排 Calculate and control the operating time of the sludge property improvement unit (13) based on EAS and sludge discharge flow rate:
[0060]
[0061] Where T represents the operating time of the sludge property improvement unit, in hours; MLSS 排Q indicates the sludge concentration at the sludge discharge point, in g / L; 排 The flow rate at the sludge discharge outlet is expressed in m. 3 / h.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, during operation of the modified MBR system, the MBR unit is inoculated with ordinary activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. The MBR unit has a treatment capacity of 8,000-10,000 tons / day, a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 18-22 hours, and the membrane tank is aerated using blowers. The MLSS concentration in the membrane tank is 12-15 g / L, and the initial MLVSS / MLSS ratio is 0.43-0.45. The sludge activation modification unit is connected to the membrane tank through an inlet and an overflow outlet, and the feed pump has a feed flow rate of 50-60 m³ / h. 3 / h, intermittent operation, inlet flow rate set to 50-60m³ / h 3 The sludge discharge flow rate is 5%-15% of the feed flow rate, and the daily sludge discharge operation time is 8-16 hours. After nearly two months of continuous operation, the residual sludge concentration ratio at the discharge port is 1.4-4 times, the MLVSS / MLSS is 15%-25% lower than the feed, and the MBR unit's MLVSS / MLSS is increased to 0.52-0.55. After treatment by the original dewatering system, the moisture content of the transported sludge is reduced by 5%-10%, the blower energy consumption is reduced by about 10%, and the overall operating cost is reduced by about 5%-10%.
[0063] In summary, the improved MBR system and operation method described in this embodiment of the invention include an MBR unit and a sludge property improvement unit connected by pipelines. Wastewater, after pretreatment, enters the MBR unit. The sludge mixture is pumped into the sludge property improvement unit from the inlet via a feed pump. At the return outlet, the MLVSS / MLSS ratio of the MBR unit is increased, enabling the system to operate with low sludge concentration. This helps improve system aeration efficiency while reducing membrane fouling rate. At the sludge discharge outlet, sludge thickening and inorganic matter enrichment are achieved. New water plants may not need to design sludge thickeners, and existing water plants can surpass their existing sludge thickeners. Furthermore, it can reduce the moisture content of residual sludge at the effluent or reduce the dosage of sludge dewatering agents, thereby reducing investment and operating costs.
