Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to a microbial strain culture device. Background Art

[0002] The biological method uses microorganisms to convert organic pollutants into inorganic substances to achieve water purification. In this process, microorganisms need to attach to a carrier to form a biofilm. Elastic fillers are widely used in sewage treatment due to their good elasticity and wear resistance. The biofilm formation method directly affects the effect of the biofilm. Traditional methods include natural biofilm formation and artificial biofilm formation. Natural biofilm formation relies on environmental microorganisms. The process is simple but time-consuming and the effect is unstable. Artificial biofilm formation quickly forms a biofilm by adding microorganisms, but the operation is cumbersome and costly. Existing methods often cannot evenly control the spacing between elastic fillers, resulting in different biofilm thicknesses, which in turn affects the treatment efficiency. At the same time, the complexity and high cost of the operation also limit its large-scale application. Utility Model Content

[0030] In summary, this embodiment includes the following unit structures:

[0031] Inlet and outlet unit structure: The water inlet of the microbial culture vessel is arranged on the lower part of the left wall to connect the water inlet facilities. The water inlet flow rate and time can be set according to the actual working condition analysis. The water outlet is arranged on the upper part of the right wall to connect the water outlet facilities. By connecting the valve and the control device, the output flow rate and drainage time are controlled, and finally the water level in the culture vessel is controlled.

[0032] Aeration unit: The aeration unit is installed at the bottom of the microbial culture vessel, which is divided into two parts: 1) A circular aeration hose is installed at the bottom of the structure, supported by iron brackets at both ends; 2) Multiple microporous aeration disks are arranged in the middle of the circular aeration hose to improve the overall aeration level. The dissolved oxygen level during the culture process is precisely controlled by an external control unit.

[0033] Heating unit: Three heating wires (first heating wire, second heating wire and third heating wire) are installed on the upper, middle and lower side walls of the microbial culture chamber to ensure uniform heating in the chamber, which is suitable for microbial culture that requires temperature control. The heating wires are connected to the automatic control system through wires to ensure that the temperature of the chamber is within a controllable range.

[0034] Gas treatment system: A gas collection disperser is installed on the top of the microbial culture chamber to effectively discharge the gas generated during the culture process through the gas escape holes to prevent gas accumulation from affecting the culture environment.

[0035] When using this embodiment, the incubator is first installed. After the installation is completed, the device system is adjusted, including stability adjustment and aeration system adjustment. Then the culture solution is prepared, and 5L of anaerobic ammonia oxidation seed bacteria and 5L of nutrient solution are used to prepare the mixed culture solution, and the added nutrients include ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite, sodium acetate, and ammonium bicarbonate.

The reaction liquid is evenly mixed and stirred in the whole device through the aeration device at the bottom. After sufficient mixing and reaction, part of the liquid flows out from the water outlet 4 at the top of the side wall of the cylindrical reactor to ensure that the water outlet is unobstructed. If necessary, adjust the residence time of the mixed culture liquid to maintain the water level in the culture vessel at three quarters of the total height.

[0037] The controller 11 automatically adjusts the working state of the heating wire and the aeration hose according to the preset parameters to maintain the best culture environment. Microorganisms grow and reproduce on the surface of the spherical filler 9. During the culture period, part of the culture solution is regularly discharged through the water outlet 4 and fresh culture solution is added through the water inlet 14 to maintain the nutritional balance of the entire system. The operator needs to regularly check the operating status of the intelligent control device and make adjustments according to the actual situation, such as increasing the aeration volume or adjusting the pH value and temperature.
