Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water treatment in the municipal industry, and particularly relates to a mechanical agitation clarifier. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the clarifier is to carry out water coagulation, remove suspended solids and colloids in the water, and make the raw water get clarified quickly. It uses the sludge in a suspended state as a contact medium to have a contact agglomeration effect with the fine suspended solids in the raw water, and simultaneously carry out the coagulation and sedimentation processes in the same structure.

[0003] The air flotation process is a process in which water, bubbles and flocs, that is, the liquid, gas and solid three-phase contact. According to the contact flocculation theory, the stronger the hydrophobicity of solid particles, the easier it is for the solid and bubble phases to adhere. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out hydrophobic treatment on the solid particles (i.e., impurities) in the water, that is, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of coagulant to the water to form hydrophobic flocs. These hydrophobic flocs are extremely easy to adhere to the negatively charged microbubbles on the surface, forming flocs that can float and separate from the water. The air flotation method is a rapid solid-liquid separation method, which can be completed in only ten-odd minutes, and the effluent turbidity is low and the water quality is stable. Compared with sedimentation tanks and clarifiers, the air flotation tank has the shortest residence time, the shallowest pool depth and the smallest floor area.

[0004] There are many types of existing air flotation tanks, and common ones include traditional horizontal flow air flotation tanks, vertical flow air flotation tanks, vertical folding flow air flotation tanks, comprehensive aeration purifiers and other types. Among them, the traditional horizontal flow air flotation tank is mainly composed of a tank body, an aeration device, a skimming device, a sludge scraping device and other parts. It is simple to operate and easy to maintain, but it has a large floor area and unstable treatment effects. The vertical flow air flotation tank has a compact structure and is mainly composed of a tank body, an aeration device, a central pipe and an overflow weir and other parts. Its treatment effect is more stable than that of the traditional horizontal flow air flotation tank, and it also has a smaller floor area. The vertical folding flow air flotation tank has a higher removal efficiency and also has a smaller floor area, but it has higher design and manufacturing requirements, and the operation and maintenance are also more complex.

[0005] By adding a mixing and flocculation process in front of the air flotation tank, the treatment speed can be increased, the treatment efficiency can be improved, and the treated water quality can be made better. The mixing process can uniformly mix the medicament and water, so that the medicament can be quickly and uniformly diffused into the water, thereby improving the treatment efficiency. The flocculation process can aggregate the suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water to form larger particles, which are more easily removed by the air flotation tank. At the same time, the flocculation process can also improve the coagulation effect of the water and make the treated water quality more stable.

[0006] The traditional methods for adding mixing and flocculation in front of the air flotation tank mainly include the following several types:

[0007] 1. Mechanical stirring flocculation method: This method uses a mechanical stirrer to mix raw water with chemicals, and through the stirring action, the suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water are aggregated together to form larger particles. The advantages of this method are simple equipment and convenient operation, but it has disadvantages such as low treatment efficiency and large floor area.

[0008] 2. Pipe static mixing flocculation method: This method uses the static mixing elements in the pipe mixer to mix raw water with chemicals, and through the vortex action of the mixing elements, the suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water are aggregated together. The advantages of this method are good mixing effect and small floor area, but it has disadvantages such as low treatment efficiency and large chemical consumption.

[0009] 3. Perforated pipe aeration flocculation method: This method uses a perforated pipe aeration device to generate bubbles in the water, and through the upward movement of the bubbles, the suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water are pushed upward, while adding chemicals for coagulation and sedimentation. The advantages of this method are simple equipment and convenient operation, but it has disadvantages such as uneven bubble size and low treatment efficiency.

[0010] In summary, the traditional pre - mixing and flocculation method before the air - flotation tank has the following disadvantages:

[0011] 1. Low treatment efficiency: Due to different water qualities and treatment requirements, the sizes and quantities of suspended solids and colloidal particles are different. The traditional pre - mixing and flocculation method before the air - flotation tank may not be able to completely remove the suspended solids and colloidal particles in the water, resulting in unstable treated water quality.

[0012] 2. Large floor area: The traditional pre - mixing and flocculation method before the air - flotation tank usually requires a large floor area to construct facilities such as sedimentation tanks and reaction tanks, increasing the construction cost.

[0013] 3. Excessive or insufficient chemical addition: The traditional pre - mixing and flocculation method before the air - flotation tank needs to add appropriate chemicals to promote the coagulation and sedimentation effect. However, the types and concentrations of chemicals will affect the treatment effect. Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments and optimizations according to different water qualities and water treatment requirements, which increases the complexity and difficulty of operation.

[0014] 4. Inconvenient operation and management: The traditional pre - mixing and flocculation method before the air - flotation tank requires manual operation and management, such as adding chemicals and monitoring water quality, increasing the labor cost and management difficulty.

[0015] The traditional mechanical stirring clarifier is relatively complex. For this reason, the applied and authorized utility model "A Single - Reaction - Chamber Mechanical Stirring Clarifier" is a mechanical stirring clarifier with a relatively simple structure. The structure of the authorized utility model "A Single - Reaction - Chamber Mechanical Stirring Clarifier" is as Figure 1 shown. Utility Model Content

[0038] In the related art, the traditional method of adding mixing and flocculation before the air flotation pool has disadvantages such as low treatment efficiency, large floor area, excessive or insufficient chemical agent addition, and inconvenient operation and management. The present utility model proposes a process combining a clarifier and an air flotation pool, so that the clarification and air flotation processes are effectively combined, which can cope with various water qualities such as complex water quality and high-algae water, and solves the problems existing in the combination method of the existing mixing and flocculation and the air flotation pool.

[0039] Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The upper-layer plan view and the lower-layer plan view of a mechanical agitation clarifier according to an embodiment of the present utility model are shown.

[0040] In the related art, the water treated by the air flotation process faces the problem of separating clear water and fine sludge. In the embodiments of the present invention, by installing a clear water collection tank and a slag discharge tank at the upper part of the tank body and setting the top height of the clear water collection tank to be level with the tank wall, the clear water can flow smoothly into the clear water collection tank without carrying sludge, and at the same time, the slag discharge tank can also smoothly collect the sludge, solving the problem of discharge after the water treatment process.

[0044] In the related art, since the pool body is mostly circular, it is more difficult to arrange when multiple pool bodies are arranged, and the floor area is relatively large.
