Attached Figure Description

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a synergistic high-temperature aerobic fermentation control system for pre-treated sludge. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Combined with appendix Figure 1As shown, a synergistic high-temperature aerobic fermentation control system for pretreated sludge includes a sludge pretreatment module, a dynamic feeding module, a fermentation reaction chamber, and a central control unit. The sludge pretreatment module, dynamic feeding module, fermentation reaction chamber, and central control unit are communicatively connected. The central control unit is also electrically connected to a multi-dimensional data acquisition unit for acquiring real-time parameters within the fermentation reaction chamber. The multi-dimensional data acquisition unit acquires stratified temperature data at different heights and regions within the fermentation reaction chamber, real-time oxygen concentration data, pressure distribution data within the chamber, and humidity and volatile organic compound concentration data of the exhaust gas.

[0040] The multi-dimensional data acquisition unit includes a wireless temperature sensor array distributed along the axial and radial directions of the fermentation reaction chamber, and a multi-component gas analyzer installed at the exhaust port at the top of the chamber.

[0041] The central control unit constructs a three-dimensional temperature field model inside the warehouse based on the acquired layered temperature data. The three-dimensional temperature field model identifies low-temperature dead zones and high-temperature overheating zones, and generates differentiated ventilation strategy instructions.

[0042] The sludge pretreatment module includes a crushing unit, a dewatering unit, and a sludge data monitoring unit.

[0043] The sludge data monitoring unit acquires the humidity data of the gas discharged from the sludge material, and the central control unit issues control commands to the dynamic feeding module based on the acquired humidity data.

[0044] When the gas humidity remains below the preset drying threshold, the dynamic feeding module increases the proportion of sludge with high water content, and the dewatering unit reduces its operating power.

[0045] In one embodiment, the dynamic feeding module includes a material conveying unit, a proportioning adjustment unit, and a feeding monitoring unit;

[0046] The feed monitoring unit acquires feed flow rate and material composition data in real time, and the central control unit issues adjustment commands to the proportional control unit based on the material parameters fed back by the sludge pretreatment module.

[0047] The ratio adjustment unit dynamically adjusts the feed ratio of sludge and conditioning agent according to instructions.

[0048] The inner wall of the fermentation reaction chamber is also equipped with an adjustable layered air distribution plate, which divides the space inside the fermentation reaction chamber into several independent ventilation layers.

[0049] When the oxygen concentration in a certain layer area is detected to be lower than the preset aerobic threshold and the pressure distribution shows that the airflow is obstructed, the central control unit controls the opening of the corresponding layer air distribution plate to increase and increases the wind pressure output of the area. The central control unit also integrates a data storage unit and an early warning unit. The data storage unit records all real-time parameters and control commands collected by the multi-dimensional data acquisition unit.

[0050] When any parameter exceeds the preset safety range, the warning unit issues an audible and visual warning signal.

[0051] In specific implementation, this invention includes the following steps:

[0052] S1: Load the preset drying threshold, aerobic threshold and safe temperature range, and start the multi-dimensional data acquisition unit;

[0053] S2: Real-time acquisition of stratified temperature, oxygen concentration, pressure distribution and exhaust parameters within the fermentation reaction chamber;

[0054] S3: Construct a three-dimensional temperature field model based on the collected layered temperature data to identify low-temperature dead zones and high-temperature overheating zones within the warehouse;

[0055] S4: Based on the humidity data of the gas discharged from the sludge material, dynamically adjust the feeding ratio of the dynamic feeding module and the power of the dewatering unit;

[0056] S5: Based on the identification results of the three-dimensional temperature field model and oxygen concentration data, generate the opening adjustment command and ventilation strategy of the layered air distribution plate;

[0057] S6: Monitors the ratio of volatile organic compound concentration to humidity in the exhaust gas. When the parameter is abnormal, it triggers an early warning and executes emergency control.

[0058] In one embodiment, the preset drying threshold, aerobic threshold, and safe temperature range in S1 are manually modified via the central control unit; the sampling frequency of the fermentation reaction chamber parameters in S2 is 1-5 minutes / time; and the ventilation strategy in S5 includes:

[0059] In low-temperature dead zones, increase the opening of the corresponding layered air distribution panels and the regional air pressure to improve oxygen supply;

[0060] In areas of high temperature and overheating, increase ventilation and reduce wind pressure in the corresponding areas to achieve temperature balance.

[0061] In this invention, a refined and intelligent management of the entire sludge fermentation process is realized. In actual operation, the wireless temperature sensor array can penetrate the material pile and capture the temperature change gradient of the internal microenvironment in real time. The central control unit uses these data to reconstruct a three-dimensional temperature distribution map in real time, thereby accurately locating the local low-temperature incomplete fermentation area or high-temperature inactivation risk area that cannot be detected by traditional single-point monitoring.

[0062] Meanwhile, the system uses the gas humidity in the pretreatment stage as a feedforward signal to dynamically balance the moisture content of the feed material, ensuring the optimal porosity and biological activity environment of the fermentation material from the source. With the independent adjustment mechanism of the layered air distribution plate in the chamber, the system can implement directional air supply for different levels of oxygen demand and heat dissipation needs, which not only avoids energy waste and excessive heat loss caused by large global air volume, but also effectively solves the problem of odorous gas generation caused by local anaerobic conditions.

[0063] By tracking the ratio of volatile organic compounds to humidity in exhaust gas in real time, an early pollution warning mechanism was established. Once an abnormal trend is detected, emergency intervention measures are immediately initiated, ensuring the environmental compliance and operational safety of the entire fermentation process. This significantly improves the efficiency and stability of sludge harmless treatment and provides reliable technical support for the resource utilization of urban sludge.
