Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency denitrification system, method and application based on two-stage MABR. BACKGROUND

[0002] Membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a new membrane wastewater treatment process, which utilizes hydrophobic hollow fiber membranes to transfer oxygen to the wastewater treatment system, and at the same time, the biological membrane formed on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane degrades the pollutants in the wastewater. Membrane aeration can release fine bubbles or even achieve aeration without bubbles, and the oxygen utilization rate is high, which can effectively reduce the aeration energy consumption of the wastewater treatment process. Since oxygen is transferred from the membrane to the solution, the biological membrane can realize the layered structure of the inner and outer aerobic and anoxic zones, and the inner and outer aerobic and anoxic zones are beneficial to the growth of nitrosation / nitrification bacteria and denitrifying bacteria, respectively, which can realize integrated nitrification and denitrification. The patent disclosure of Chinese patent CN119118362A points out that the electron donor and acceptor in the biological membrane of MABR have the characteristics of "reverse diffusion", so it is easy to control the nitrosation reaction, and it is feasible to combine it with anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction.

[0003] At present, there are studies combining MABR with anaerobic ammonia oxidation to achieve efficient denitrification of low-carbon and nitrogen-containing ammonia nitrogen wastewater. However, in a single MABR unit, the PN / A process effluent contains nitrate nitrogen, making it difficult to break through 90% of the total nitrogen removal rate; when denitrifying bacteria and anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria coexist, organic matter is not only a necessary carbon source for the denitrification process, but also inhibits the activity of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, and the two are difficult to effectively coordinate. The existing MABR system mostly adopts single-stage design or multi-stage series design with a single denitrification mechanism, and has not fundamentally solved the limitations of a single denitrification mechanism and the contradiction between denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation mechanisms in terms of carbon source demand.

[0004] Increasing the number of pool bodies can improve the denitrification effect, but it does not realize the deep coupling of different denitrification paths (such as PN / DN and PN / A). The contradiction between carbon source balance and dissolved oxygen in the denitrification system still exists.

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to reduce the inhibition of carbon source on anaerobic ammonia oxidation and further remove nitrate nitrogen produced by anaerobic ammonia oxidation, and to connect reactors mainly based on short-cut nitrification and denitrification and reactors mainly based on short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation in series and set backflow, so that the total nitrogen removal rate is higher than 90%.

[0019] 1) Start-up phase

[0020] The first carrier is not arranged in the MABR-PN / DN reactor, the first-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / DN reactor, is inoculated with nitrifying sludge, the sludge concentration MLSS is 3000-5000 mg / L, NH4Cl is introduced, the solution NH4 + -N concentration is 100 mg / L, NaHCO3 is used to adjust the pH to 7.5-8.0, the dissolved oxygen is controlled to be 1.0-1.2 mg / L, the hydraulic retention time is controlled by adjusting the influent flow, and the reactor dissolved oxygen is controlled by adjusting the aeration pressure, until the nitrite accumulation rate in the reactor effluent is higher than 90%, and obvious biofilm is formed on the membrane surface, the sludge-water mixture is poured out, and denitrifying sludge is inoculated, the sludge concentration MLSS is 3000-5000 mg / L, and the first carrier of the MABR-PN / DN reactor is added at the same time, the filling rate is 15-45%, NH4Cl and glucose are introduced, the solution NH4 + -N concentration is 100 mg / L, COD is 200 mg / L, NaHCO3 is used to adjust the pH to 7.5-8.0, the dissolved oxygen is controlled to be 0.3-0.5 mg / L, and the total nitrogen removal rate is >50% when the start-up is considered to be successful;

The second-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / A reactor, is inoculated with nitrifying sludge at a MLSS concentration of 3000-5000 mg / L. NH4Cl is then introduced to increase the NH4 content of the solution. + The nitrogen (N) concentration is 100 mg / L. The pH is adjusted to 7.5–8.0 with NaHCO3, and the dissolved oxygen is controlled at 1.0–1.2 mg / L. The hydraulic retention time is controlled by adjusting the influent flow rate, and the dissolved oxygen in the reactor is controlled by adjusting the aeration pressure.

The mud-water mixture is then poured out, and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria with a VSS of 4000–5000 mg / L are inoculated. Simultaneously, the second carrier of the MABR-PN / A reactor is added, with a filling rate of 15–45%.

[0056] The first-stage MABR-PN / DN reactor: the influent is simulated high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater prepared by mixing NH4Cl and glucose, NH4 +- N concentration of 100 mg / L, COD concentration of 150 mg / L, pH adjusted to 8 with NaHCO3, dissolved oxygen controlled to 0.5 mg / L by adjusting aeration flow rate and aeration pressure, hydraulic retention time of 8 h, and temperature of 25℃.

[0057] Second-stage MABR-PN / A reactor: influent was the effluent of the first-stage MABR-PN / DN reactor, and the dissolved oxygen was 0.2 mg / L. The hydraulic retention time was 8 h, the temperature was 32℃, and the reflux ratio was 50%.

[0058] The water quality parameters during stable operation are shown in Table 1. After the first-stage MABR-PN / DN treatment, the COD decreased from 150 mg / L in the influent to 60-65 mg / L, so the inhibition of organic matter on the anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction in the second-stage MABR-PN / A was greatly reduced, and the total nitrogen removal rate of the system was higher than 92%.

[0059] Table 1, water quality of effluent of each stage of the two-stage MABR in Example 2

[0060]

[0061] Comparative Example 1

[0062] The first-stage MABR-PN / DN reactor used in Example 2 was used to treat the ammonia-nitrogen-containing wastewater, but was not used in combination with the second-stage MABR-PN / A reactor. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 2.

[0063] The simulated high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater was prepared by mixing NH4Cl and glucose, and the concentration of NH4 + - N concentration of 100 mg / L, COD concentration of 150 mg / L, pH adjusted to 8 with NaHCO3, dissolved oxygen controlled to 0.5 mg / L by adjusting aeration flow rate and aeration pressure, hydraulic retention time of 8 h, and temperature of 25℃.

[0064] The water quality parameters during stable operation are shown in Table 2. Due to the low carbon-nitrogen ratio (1.5:1) in the influent, there was a problem of insufficient carbon source for denitrification in the MABR-PN / DN reactor, resulting in a total nitrogen removal rate of only about 50%.

[0065] Table 2, water quality of influent and effluent in Comparative Example 1

[0066]

[0067] Comparative Example 2

[0068] The second-stage MABR-PN / A reactor used in Example 2 was used to treat the wastewater, but was not used in combination with the first-stage MABR-PN / DN reactor. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 2.

[0069] The simulated high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater was prepared by mixing NH4Cl and glucose, NH4 + The concentration of -N was 100 mg / L, the concentration of COD was 150 mg / L, the pH was adjusted to 8 by NaHCO3, the dissolved oxygen was controlled to be 0.1 mg / L by aeration flow and aeration pressure, the hydraulic retention time was 16 h, and the temperature was 32 DEG C.

[0070] The water quality parameters in the stable operation are shown in Table 3. Due to the inhibition of COD on the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process in the MABR-PN / A reactor, the total nitrogen removal rate of the system is less than 20%.

[0071] Meanwhile, by comparing Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the first-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / DN reactor, and the second-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / A reactor, have a synergistic effect, which can synergistically improve the denitrification effect of the prepared high-efficiency denitrification system on ammonia-nitrogen-containing wastewater.

[0073]

[0074] Comparative Example 3

[0075] A two-stage MABR-PN / A process was constructed by using the same second-stage MABR-PN / A reactor as that in Example 2 to treat ammonia-nitrogen-containing wastewater.

[0076] The simulated high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater was prepared by mixing NH4Cl and glucose, NH4 + The concentration of -N was 100 mg / L, the concentration of COD was 150 mg / L, the pH was adjusted to 8 by NaHCO3, the dissolved oxygen was controlled to be 0.1 mg / L by aeration flow and aeration pressure, the hydraulic retention time was 16 h, and the temperature was 32 DEG C.

[0077] The water quality parameters in the stable operation are shown in Table 4. In the two-stage MABR-PN / A, the first-stage anaerobic ammonia oxidation is significantly inhibited by COD, and the total nitrogen removal rate is only 10%; the COD concentration in the second stage is slightly lower than that in the first stage, and the inhibition of anaerobic ammonia oxidation is also reduced. However, the two-stage MABR-PN / A system is still greatly affected by COD, and the total nitrogen removal rate is less than 50%, which is lower than that of the MABR-PN / DN and MABR-PN / A series systems.

[0079]

[0080] Meanwhile, it can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2-3 that the first-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / DN reactor, and the second-stage MABR reactor, i.e., the MABR-PN / A reactor, have a synergistic effect, and can synergistically improve the denitrification effect of the prepared high-efficiency denitrification system on ammonia-nitrogen-containing wastewater.

[0081] Therefore, the high-efficiency denitrification reactor and method based on two-stage MABR have the characteristics of high denitrification rate, reduced aeration energy consumption and less carbon source requirement, and are suitable for high-ammonia-nitrogen and low-carbon-nitrogen-ratio wastewater treatment.

[0082] The system of the present application utilizes the series connection design of the MABR-PN / DN and the MABR-PN / A, reduces the adverse effect of organic matter in wastewater on the treatment of high-concentration ammonia-nitrogen wastewater by anaerobic ammonia oxidation, and realizes denitrification by returning the nitrate nitrogen produced by the MABR-PN / A to the first-stage MABR-PN / DN, breaks through the denitrification limitation of a single reactor and a single denitrification path, and the total nitrogen removal rate of the system is higher than 90%.

[0083] Although the embodiments of the present application are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, those skilled in the art can understand that various substitutions, changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application and the appended claims, and therefore, the scope of the present application is not limited to the disclosed content.
