Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sludge treatment, in particular to a sludge reduction system. Background Art

[0002] The number of sewage treatment facilities has also increased rapidly. These sewage treatment facilities have generated a large amount of residual sludge. The current sludge disposal methods include landfill, land utilization, incineration and building material utilization. All disposal methods require the sludge moisture content to be 60% or less. However, after conventional mechanical dehydration, the sludge moisture content is generally around 80%. Therefore, it must be deeply dehydrated or dried. The high-pressure dehydration and low-temperature drying currently suitable for sewage treatment plants can reduce the moisture content to below 60%. However, high-pressure dehydration requires the addition of chemicals to condition the sludge, affecting its outlet; and low-temperature drying has high energy consumption.

[0003] Electro-osmosis dehydration technology is an emerging sludge deep dehydration technology. Its basic principle is to use an external DC electric field to make negatively charged sludge particles and positively charged water move in opposite directions to achieve the separation of mud and water in the sludge. Through electro-osmosis dehydration, the moisture content of sludge can be reduced from 80% to below 60%. No chemicals need to be added during the process, which does not affect subsequent treatment and disposal; the energy consumption is lower than low-temperature drying, which is particularly suitable for sewage treatment plants.

[0004] Using electro-osmosis dehydration, the dehydration section from 80% to 60% moisture content is more economical, and further reducing the moisture content requires higher energy consumption. The sludge after electro-osmosis dehydration is in the form of thin sheets with a thickness of about 2 mm, high porosity, and a temperature of about 40~50°C, which is very conducive to ventilation and drying without the need for heating.

[0005] However, after dehydration by electro-osmosis, the sludge needs to be forcedly ventilated, and most of the existing ventilation methods use fans to generate wind to remove moisture from the sludge. The fans in the prior art are usually fixed in a certain place, which is not convenient for quickly drying the sludge and reduces the efficiency of drying. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a sludge reduction system which can avoid the need for forced ventilation of the sludge after dehydration by electro-osmosis. Most of the existing ventilation methods use fans to generate wind to remove moisture from the sludge, and the fans in the prior art are usually fixed in a certain place, which is not convenient for quickly drying the sludge and reduces the drying efficiency.

[0007] The utility model provides a sludge reduction system, comprising a sludge pool, wherein the sludge in the sludge pool is pumped to a preliminary dehydrator for dehydration, the discharge port of the preliminary dehydrator is connected to the feed port of a screw conveyor, the discharge port at one end of the screw conveyor is connected to the feed port of an electro-osmosis dehydrator, the discharge port of the electro-osmosis dehydrator is connected to the feed end of an air-drying mechanism, the air-drying mechanism is connected to a support plate, and a movable air-drying component is installed on the upper side of the support plate.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the air-drying mechanism comprises a conveyor belt having a plurality of mesh holes.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, the discharge port of the conveyor belt is connected to the feed port of the sludge storage bin.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the mobile air-drying component includes a screw rod rotatably arranged on the upper side of the support plate, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to one end of the mobile fan.

[0011] In a specific implementation manner, a limiting rod is installed on the support plate located on the upper side of the screw rod, and one end of the mobile fan is slidably connected to the limiting rod.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of inclined air-drying fans are installed on both sides of the support plate, and the air-drying fans on both sides are staggered.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, a slide groove is symmetrically provided at one end of the support plate, a rectangular plate is slidably arranged in the slide groove, and a hygroscopic silica gel layer is arranged in the rectangular plate.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, a cylinder is installed on one side of the support plate, and a piston end of the cylinder is connected to one side of the rectangular plate.

[0015] In a specific implementation, a slide rail is provided on one side of the two slide grooves, a hollow tube is slidably connected inside the two slide rails, an opening is opened on the upper side of the hollow tube, a plurality of air outlet pipes are provided on the lower side of the hollow tube, and a plurality of heating tubes are installed on both sides of the hollow tube.

[0016] In a specific implementation manner, clamping plates are provided on both sides of the opening on the upper side of the hollow tube, and the distance between the two clamping plates is adapted to the size of the mobile fan.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the sludge reduction system provided by the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The utility model does not store and ferment the primary dehydrated sludge entering the electro-osmosis machine in a silo, nor does it squeeze and transport it through a sludge pump. The sludge has low electrical conductivity, and the energy consumption of the electro-osmosis dehydrator is reduced. The mud cake after electro-osmosis dehydration is dried using a forced ventilation drying method, which has a significant energy-saving effect and produces less odor. The sludge after electro-osmosis dehydration is in the form of thin flakes and does not need to be crushed before entering the air-drying mechanism. No chemicals are added during the process, and there is no secondary pollution. Subsequent treatment and disposal are not restricted, thereby achieving environmental protection and energy saving, low treatment cost, no secondary pollution, flexibility, and strong practicality.

[0019] 2. The utility model drives the mobile fan to air-dry the sludge through the rotation of the screw rod, and at the same time combines with the air-drying fans staggered on both sides of the support plate to improve the air-drying efficiency. Then the cylinder descends with the hygroscopic silica gel to contact the sludge just entering the conveyor belt, absorbs moisture on the sludge, and further enhances the air-drying efficiency.

The fans in the prior art are usually fixed at a certain location, which is not convenient for quickly drying the sludge, reducing the efficiency of drying. Therefore, after research, a sludge reduction system is provided. When in use, the rotation of the screw rod prompts the mobile fan to dry the sludge, and at the same time, the drying fans staggered on both sides of the support plate are combined to improve the efficiency of drying. Then, the cylinder with hygroscopic silica gel descends to contact the sludge that has just entered the conveyor belt, absorbing moisture from the sludge, thereby solving the above defects.

[0032] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] Among them, the air-drying mechanism 5 includes a conveyor belt 51, and a plurality of mesh holes 52 are opened on the conveyor belt 51. Wind can pass through the mesh holes 52 to improve the air-drying efficiency of the sludge. The discharge port of the conveyor belt 51 is connected with the feed port of the sludge storage bin 6, and the air-dried sludge enters the sludge storage bin 6 for storage. Since the conveyor belt 51 receives the flaky sludge transported out from the electro-osmosis dehydrator 4, the sludge will not fall when passing through the mesh holes 52 of the conveyor belt 51.
