Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a system and method for recycling wastewater from aquaculture in saline-alkali land. Background Technology

[0002] Saline-alkali land aquaculture (especially shrimp farming) is an important direction for the development and utilization of saline-alkali land resources. It can revitalize idle saline-alkali land resources and enrich the industrial layout of aquaculture. However, this model has always faced the dual constraints of water shortage and wastewater pollution. The uneaten feed, feces, and nitrogen and phosphorus organic matter contained in the wastewater not only waste precious freshwater resources if directly discharged, but also exacerbate eutrophication of surrounding water bodies and disrupt the regional ecological balance. Therefore, wastewater recycling has become a core requirement for the sustainable development of the saline-alkali land shrimp farming industry. Currently, microbial wastewater treatment technology has become the mainstream technology for aquaculture wastewater treatment due to its low cost, lack of secondary pollution, and good degradation effect. It naturally degrades pollutants through the metabolic action of microorganisms, aligning with the development concept of green aquaculture. However, saline-alkali land shrimp farming wastewater has unique characteristics of high salinity and high alkalinity. Existing microbial treatment technologies are mostly developed based on freshwater aquaculture scenarios, and have significant shortcomings in the screening of salt-tolerant microorganisms and the design of synergistic effects of microbial communities, resulting in pollutant removal effects that are difficult to meet the treatment requirements of saline-alkali land shrimp farming wastewater.

[0003] When existing microbial treatment technologies are applied to the treatment of shrimp tailwater in saline-alkali land, several shortcomings are exposed that make them difficult to adapt to actual production: First, the connection between the microbial treatment unit and the aquaculture cycle is seriously insufficient. The salinity and pH of the treated tailwater lack precise control, and large fluctuations in parameters can easily cause stress to shrimp, significantly reducing the survival rate. Moreover, the system design does not fully consider the characteristics of water scarcity in saline-alkali land and does not optimize the recycling chain, resulting in low water resource utilization. Second, the nutrients in the tailwater are not utilized as resources. Existing technologies only focus on the degradation and removal of pollutants, converting nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the tailwater into sludge sediment. This not only wastes nutrient resources but also increases the cost of subsequent sludge treatment. At the same time, the application mode of a single microbial community also leads to insufficient nitrogen and phosphorus degradation efficiency in high-salt environments, which cannot meet the actual production needs of shrimp farming in saline-alkali land. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a system and method for recycling and treating wastewater from aquaculture in saline-alkali land, which solves the problems of insufficient integration between existing microbial treatment units and aquaculture cycles, as well as the failure to utilize wastewater nutrients as a resource.

S4. The conditioned wastewater is transported to the microalgae culture tank of the nutrient resource utilization unit. After inoculating microalgae and culturing for 3-5 days, the microalgae liquid is returned to the shrimp pond at a volume ratio of 5%-10% through the feed conversion module.
