Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly relates to a gas collecting and separating tank for efficiently removing sludge foam. Background Art

[0002] In the treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater, anaerobic reaction is basically a necessary process, and anaerobic reactors such as UASB, IC and EGSB are usually selected. However, in actual projects, when anaerobic reactors are under shock load or high load, especially when the sugar content in the influent is high, the extracellular polymers produced are highly hydrophilic, which easily produces highly hydrophilic sludge foam. The production of biogas easily brings the sludge foam into the top gas collecting tank. The sludge foam is highly hydrophilic and difficult to dissipate, resulting in increased pressure in the exhaust pipe, which may eventually cause the three-phase separator to deform or shift. In severe cases, the three-phase separator floats as a whole, causing irreparable losses. Utility Model Content

The connection between the stirrer 3 and the gas collecting tank 1 adopts a flexible rubber seal. The connection between the gas collecting tank 1 and the stirrer 3 is provided with a sealing water tank 4, which is used for water pressure sealing of the connection between the stirrer 3 and the gas collecting tank 1. The stirrer is provided with a stirring impeller 3-1, and the stirring impeller 3-1 is composed of stirring bars 3-3 arranged along the circumferential direction of the stirring shaft 3-2; the air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the top of the gas collecting tank 1, and the air outlet pipe 5 is provided with a negative pressure pump 5-1.
