The anaerobic and anoxic sections of the biological treatment tank mostly use submersible mixers to mix sludge and water. Nitrification liquid return mostly uses through-wall pumps or submersible sewage pumps. The secondary sedimentation tank is generally equipped with a sludge scraper. Sludge return and excess sludge discharge also use water pumps for power sludge removal. All of these methods require a lot of electricity, which is not in line with the current trend of green and low-carbon development in the sewage treatment industry. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 In this embodiment of the invention, an aerodynamic biochemical treatment system includes a device body 1, which contains an anaerobic zone 3, an anoxic zone 4, an aerobic zone 5, and a secondary sedimentation tank 6. A main water inlet 2 is provided on one side of the anaerobic zone 3.

[0021] The anaerobic zone 3 and the anoxic zone 4 are provided with sealed cavities at their upper parts. Perforated aeration pipes 9 are installed inside the anaerobic zone 3 and the anoxic zone 4. In this embodiment, a top plate is provided at the upper end of the anaerobic zone 3 and the anoxic zone 4. The top plate is sealed to the upper end of the anaerobic zone 3 and the anoxic zone 4. An exhaust hole is provided on the top plate. The exhaust hole is connected to a demister through a pipe. An aeration fan is connected to the air inlet end of the perforated aeration pipe 9. The air outlet end of the demister is connected to the air inlet end of the aeration fan. An oxidation-reduction potential meter and a dissolved oxygen meter are installed inside the anoxic zone 4.

[0022] An aeration unit is provided in the aerobic zone 5. The aeration unit includes a liftable aeration pipe 10 located in the aerobic zone 5. The air inlet of the liftable aeration pipe 10 is connected to a distribution cylinder 7 via an aeration branch pipe 20. Each distribution cylinder 7 is connected to at least one aeration branch pipe 20. Each aeration branch pipe 20 is connected to at least one liftable aeration pipe 10. The air inlet of the aeration branch pipe 20 is connected to an aeration pipe 11. The aeration pipe 11 is connected to a blower. An air distribution box 8 is connected to the aeration pipe 11. The air distribution box 8 is connected to the sludge gas pipeline via a sludge return air lift branch pipe 14.

[0023] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the secondary sedimentation tank 6 is a box-shaped structure with an open top. The secondary sedimentation tank 6 is located in the aerobic zone 5. In this embodiment, the secondary sedimentation tank 6 is made of PP material. The lower part of the secondary sedimentation tank 6 gradually narrows from top to bottom to form a mud bucket shape. Multiple secondary sedimentation tanks 6 are set in the aerobic zone 5. Each secondary sedimentation tank 6 is equipped with a water collection branch pipe 16. All water collection branch pipes 16 are connected to the water collection main pipe 17. A water inlet trough 19 is set at the upper end of the water collection branch pipe 16. The bottom of the water inlet trough 19 is a sloping structure. The water inlet 18 is set at the position of the water collection branch pipe 16 near the bottom of the slope of the water inlet trough 19. The bottom of the slope of the water inlet trough 19 is connected to the water inlet 18 at the upper end of the water collection branch pipe.

[0024] The lower end of the secondary sedimentation tank 6 is connected to a sludge return pipe 15, the other end of which is connected to the anoxic zone 4. A sludge air lift pipe is connected to the sludge return pipe 15. A nitrified liquid return pipe 13 is installed in the aerobic zone 5, the other end of which is connected to the anaerobic zone 3. A nitrified liquid return air lift branch pipe 12 is connected to the nitrified liquid return air lift branch pipe 12, which is connected to the gas distribution box 8. The gas distribution box 8 is equipped with a gas flow meter and a solenoid valve for controlling the air lift. The gas distribution box 8 rationally distributes the gas source to the nitrified liquid return air lift gas source and the secondary sedimentation tank sludge return gas source by controlling the pneumatic or electric valve and the solenoid valve. The gas source can accurately supply gas at various locations. The pipe diameter and number of pipes of the nitrified liquid return pipe and the air lift pipe inside the secondary sedimentation tank can be calculated and set according to the actual treatment volume. A dissolved oxygen meter and a sludge concentration meter are installed in the aerobic zone (if contact oxidation is used, they can be omitted).

[0025] Depending on the influent conditions, this device can be designed with fillers for anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones. The fillers can be of various forms, such as elastic fillers, combined fillers, braided fillers, and suspended fillers. If suspended fillers are used, an interception net must be installed to prevent the fillers from being lost.

[0026] In operation, wastewater enters the device through the main inlet 2, passing sequentially through the anaerobic zone 3, the anoxic zone 4, and the aerobic zone 5. Within the anaerobic and anoxic zones 3 and 4, the perforated aeration pipes 9 at the bottom provide uniform aeration, creating a essentially sealed environment. The air above the anaerobic and anoxic zones 3 and 4 serves as the aeration and mixing air source, aerating and stirring the incoming water. Upon entering the aerobic zone 5, the liftable aeration pipes 10 at the bottom of the aerobic zone 5 begin uniform aeration. Utilizing the external slope of the secondary sedimentation tank 6 as the aerobic zone 5 increases the aerobic reaction time within the same space, improving the effluent quality. After passing through the aerobic zone 5, the wastewater enters the secondary sedimentation tank 6, where static sedimentation occurs. Part of the bottom sludge is discharged through the excess sludge pipe, and another part returns to the front end of the device through the sludge return pipe 15. The upper clear liquid enters the collection branch pipe through the outlet trough, then through the collection branch pipe into the main collection pipe, and finally exits the tank body. The air distribution cylinder 7, located outside the aerobic zone 5, distributes air evenly to provide aeration for the liftable aeration pipe at the bottom of the aerobic zone 5. The air distribution box 8 is equipped with a gas flow meter and solenoid valve to control the air lift. The intelligent air distribution box rationally distributes the air source to the nitrification liquid return air lift air source, the secondary sedimentation tank sludge return air source, and the excess sludge air lift discharge source by controlling pneumatic or electric valves and solenoid valves. The air source can accurately supply air at each location.
