Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology for industrialized recirculating aquaculture, and particularly to a protein separator foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device for industrialized aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] In factory-scale recirculating aquaculture systems, protein skimmers remove fine particulate matter and organic solutes from the water using the principle of air flotation, reducing the purification load on biological filters. However, the protein skimmer generates numerous tiny bubbles that lift organic impurities to the top. These impurities are then periodically backwashed by a jet pump. This process leads to several problems: 1. The jet pumps used with the protein skimmers require high head and flow rate, resulting in high energy consumption and increased aquaculture costs; 2. Extensive backwashing causes significant water loss from the aquaculture system, as well as energy loss (the discharged water contains heat, while the replenished water is colder); 3. The discharged foam and water increase the difficulty and cost of subsequent aquaculture wastewater treatment. Therefore, in response to the above problems, industrialized recirculating aquaculture systems lack a reaction device that can both promptly handle foam containing organic impurities and is energy-efficient and practical.

[0003] Therefore, in order to address the above shortcomings, a method for developing a protein separator foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device for industrialized aquaculture is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The water pump's inlet is located at the bottom of the reaction chamber, and its outlet is located at the top of the reaction chamber; the blower's outlet is connected to the top of the reaction chamber via a pipe. The control module is connected to a water pump, a fan, a foam sensor, and a liquid level sensor; The control module controls the water pump to turn on and off based on the signal collected by the foam sensor, and controls the water outlet ball valve at the bottom of the reaction chamber based on the signal collected by the liquid level sensor.

Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0017] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0018] Furthermore, to better illustrate this disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will understand that this disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this disclosure.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 A protein separator foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device for industrialized aquaculture, the device comprising: Includes the reaction device system and control module; The reaction device system includes a reaction chamber, a water pump, and a blower; the water pump is located inside the reaction chamber; the blower is located outside the reaction chamber. The water pump's inlet is located at the bottom of the reaction chamber, and its outlet is located at the top of the reaction chamber; the blower's outlet is connected to the top of the reaction chamber via a pipe. The control module is connected to a water pump, a fan, a foam sensor, and a liquid level sensor; The control module controls the water pump to turn on and off based on the signal collected by the foam sensor, and controls the water outlet ball valve at the bottom of the reaction chamber based on the signal collected by the liquid level sensor.

[0020] Preferably, the inlet of the reaction chamber is connected to the bottom of the foam collection cup at the top of the protein separator via a pipe, and the reaction chamber can be connected to the bottom of multiple foam collection cups at the top of the protein separator simultaneously via pipes.

[0021] Preferably, the reaction chamber is equipped with a pressure gauge to detect the internal pressure of the chamber.

[0022] Preferably, the reaction chamber is equipped with a foam sensor to detect the height and position of the foam.

[0023] Preferably, a liquid level tube and a liquid level sensor are provided outside the reaction chamber, which are used to observe and detect the height of the water level, respectively.

[0024] Preferably, the reaction chamber has a water outlet in the lower part and a waste discharge outlet at the bottom.

[0025] Preferably, the reaction chamber is provided with an air inlet.

[0026] Preferably, the outlet of the water pump is connected and fixed to the top of the reaction chamber, and the outlet is annular with uniformly fine holes facing downwards.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, the foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device can connect to one or more protein separators simultaneously. When foam appears in the collection cup at the top of the protein separator, the control module controls the fan to extract air from the reaction chamber, creating a negative pressure effect in the reaction chamber. The foam in the foam collection cup at the top of the protein separator enters the reaction chamber of the extraction and liquefaction device through the connecting pipe at the bottom. As the foam increases over time and rises, it will touch the foam sensor. Based on the information collected by the foam sensor, the control module controls the water pump to spray the foam through the outlet at the top of the reaction chamber, breaking up the foam in the chamber and dissolving it to prevent the foam from rising continuously. When the foam level falls below the detection height of the foam sensor, the water pump automatically stops spraying. When there is a lot of liquid in the foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device, the control module also controls the ball valve 9 at the outlet to open based on the information collected by the liquid level sensor, allowing the water to flow by gravity into the microfiltration tank for further filtration before returning to the aquaculture system. When there is a little liquid in the foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device, the control module also controls the ball valve 9 at the outlet to close based on the information collected by the liquid level sensor. Particulate impurities accumulated in the foam will periodically be discharged into the waste pipe by opening the ball valve 10 at the bottom of the foam intelligent extraction and liquefaction device. A smart foam extraction and liquefaction device for protein separators in factory-scale aquaculture can reduce the configuration of jet water pumps in protein separators, thus reducing energy consumption. It can also return the clean water after foam extraction to the recirculating aquaculture system, greatly reducing the loss of water in the aquaculture system itself, as well as reducing energy loss (the discharged water contains heat, while the replenished water is at a lower temperature). It can also greatly reduce the difficulty and cost of subsequent aquaculture wastewater treatment.

[0028] This application enables intelligent operation, reduces labor costs, and the device can be connected to one or more protein separators simultaneously to achieve intelligent extraction and liquefaction of foam.
