Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically a remote control system for wastewater treatment equipment based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] Existing wastewater treatment and control technologies have significant bottlenecks:
[0003] Firstly, the control mode is rigid. Most sewage treatment plants use a fixed DO concentration setpoint of 2.0 to 3.0 mg / L and rely on manual or PID adjustment of the aeration rate.
[0004] Because microbial metabolism has a strong nonlinear characteristic, when the influent load increases suddenly, insufficient DO can easily lead to excessive ammonia nitrogen in the effluent, while when the load drops suddenly, excessive aeration can cause energy waste—the energy consumption of the aeration system accounts for more than 50% of the total energy consumption of the plant, and the traditional control mode has higher energy consumption than the intelligent system.
[0005] Secondly, the monitoring dimensions are lacking. Traditional SCADA systems only collect basic parameters such as flow rate and COD, and lack monitoring of key indicators of sludge activity, which leads to inaccurate calculation of the microbial metabolic model (OUR) and makes it impossible to accurately guide aeration control.
[0006] Third, data quality defects. The raw sensor data suffers from noise interference and time-series misalignment issues. For example, there is a lag between the influent load data and the DO response. The existing system lacks an effective wavelet noise reduction and time-series alignment mechanism, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of the prediction model.
[0007] At the control system level, traditional PLC and SCADA systems have inherent limitations: high expansion costs, difficulty in fault tracing, and inability to achieve global optimization.
[0008] Furthermore, existing technologies are not sufficiently adaptable to complex operating conditions. When parameters such as influent COD and flow rate fluctuate drastically, adjustment methods relying on human experience are inadequate and cannot meet the stringent requirements of the Class I discharge standard.
[0009] Therefore, developing a control system that can dynamically adapt to load fluctuations, integrate multi-dimensional sensing, and realize remote intelligent decision-making has become the key to breaking through existing technological bottlenecks and meeting the dual needs of environmental protection and energy conservation.
[0010] To this end, the present invention provides a remote control system for wastewater treatment equipment based on the Internet of Things. Summary of the Invention

This represents the saturation concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water under the current operating conditions. This represents the actual dissolved oxygen concentration in the aeration tank. The rate of change of dissolved oxygen concentration over time;
[0036] Higher sludge activity leads to higher oxygen utilization efficiency. The total oxygen transfer coefficient of the aeration system is corrected by adjusting the ATP concentration. : ,in, This is the corrected total oxygen transfer coefficient for the aeration system. Based on the actual activity of the current sludge, As a baseline sludge activity, To correct the index;
[0037] ORP mutations reflect an imbalance between DO supply and demand. An ORP compensation term is introduced to compensate for ORP; when ORP > 200mV, OUR increases by a factor of 1.2. .
[0038] As one embodiment, the specific process of the optimization layer outputting the optimal DO concentration setting value that achieves the standard for effluent and minimizes aeration energy consumption is as follows:

[0041] Piecewise function Based on the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the effluent Whether the standard is met or not, the threshold for meeting the standard is 5mg / L, and the reward is calculated in two cases:
[0042] When the standard is met The lower the concentration of hydrogen ammonia, the closer the reward is to 1;
[0043] When not meeting the standard The higher the ammonia nitrogen concentration, the greater the absolute value of the negative reward;

[0053] when At that time, the load fluctuation was in a stable state, maintaining a fixed DO concentration range;
[0054] when At that time, the load fluctuation was in a state of sudden increase, and the DO concentration range needed to be expanded;
[0055] when At that time, the load fluctuation was in a state of sudden drop, and the DO concentration range needed to be compressed.
[0056] As one embodiment, the specific process of dynamically generating the DO concentration setpoint range is as follows:
[0057] The optimal DO concentration value output based on the load-DO concentration-energy consumption dynamic correlation model Based on the load status, DO concentration ranges are dynamically generated. ;

[0062] As one embodiment, the specific process of the linkage adjustment aeration device is as follows:
[0063] Based on the dynamically generated DO concentration setpoint range, the fan operating parameters are dynamically adjusted. When the load fluctuation is a sudden increase, the fan is allowed to operate at its maximum over-power limit. When the load fluctuation is a sudden decrease, the no-load energy consumption is reduced by frequency reduction. , For operating frequency, For the rated frequency, This refers to the operating power of the fan after frequency reduction.
[0064] The number of operating fans is dynamically adjusted according to the load: , The number of operating wind turbines. This represents the total number of operating wind turbines. This indicates rounding up.
[0065] On the other hand, the present invention provides a remote control method for wastewater treatment equipment based on the Internet of Things, including:
[0066] Step 1: Construct a multi-dimensional real-time sensing network, use the multi-dimensional real-time sensing network to collect multi-dimensional data, and perform noise reduction and time-series alignment processing on the collected multi-dimensional data;
[0067] Step 2: Design the basic layer, intermediate layer, and optimization layer to establish a dynamic correlation model of load-DO concentration-energy consumption. The basic layer outputs the load trend for a future period of time, the intermediate layer quantifies the DO concentration, and the optimization layer outputs the optimal DO concentration setting value that achieves the effluent standard and minimizes aeration energy consumption.

Based on the real-time load and the output of the load-DO concentration-energy consumption dynamic correlation model, dynamically generate the DO concentration setpoint range, and adjust the aeration equipment accordingly.
[0069] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0070] 1. Dynamically adapting to load fluctuations to ensure stable effluent quality compliance: This invention constructs a multi-dimensional real-time sensing network, deploys distributed fiber optic DO sensors and sludge activation sensors, and combines an LSTM network to predict influent load trends, accurately capturing sudden increases and decreases in parameters such as COD and flow rate; then, it quantifies DO demand through a microbial metabolic model and outputs the optimal DO setpoint using the PPO algorithm, avoiding the problem of excessive ammonia nitrogen in effluent caused by insufficient load adaptation in traditional fixed DO control, ensuring that effluent ammonia nitrogen stably meets the compliance threshold, and significantly improving the water quality compliance rate.
[0071] 2. Significantly reduces aeration energy consumption, achieving energy conservation and cost reduction: The optimization layer is designed with a reward function based on the dual objectives of achieving effluent standards and minimizing energy consumption, dynamically generating DO concentration ranges. During sudden load drops, fan frequency reduction reduces idle energy consumption; during sudden load increases, the upper limit of fan overload power is rationally controlled, and the number of operating fans is dynamically adjusted according to the load to avoid over-aeration. Compared to traditional fixed DO control modes, this effectively reduces aeration system energy consumption and significantly improves energy utilization efficiency.
[0072] 3. Improve data quality and model reliability to solidify the foundation of regulation: Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to reduce noise in influent flow and DO concentration data, filtering out noise such as electromagnetic interference and sensor drift. At the same time, the data time sequence is aligned by calculating the water flow residence time, solving the time lag problem between influent load and DO response. This provides high-quality data input for LSTM load prediction models and microbial metabolism models, significantly improving the accuracy of model calculations and avoiding regulation inaccuracies caused by data defects.
[0073] 4. Simplified operation and maintenance process, improved remote control efficiency: Relying on the Internet of Things to build a remote control system, it eliminates the need for manual on-site inspection and adjustment. It can remotely monitor multi-dimensional parameters in real time and automatically adjust aeration equipment based on the output of the dynamic decision system. It is especially suitable for decentralized sewage treatment facilities, reducing manual operation and maintenance costs, shortening fault response time, avoiding the lag of traditional manual adjustment, and improving equipment operation stability and operation and maintenance efficiency. The system is highly adaptable and scalable to different scenarios: The multi-dimensional real-time sensing network supports flexible access to various sensors. The dynamic setpoint decision system can adaptively adjust the DO range and blower control strategy according to the load characteristics of different wastewater types. It can adapt to different treatment scales and different water quality fluctuation scenarios without large-scale hardware modification, meet the control requirements after the upgrade of environmental protection standards, and has strong promotion and application value.
