Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a biological nitrogen removal system for vertical-flow short-cut nitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonium oxidation, belonging to the technical field of sewage treatment. Background Technique

[0002] The short-cut nitrification / denitrification technology is a newly emerging biological nitrogen removal technology in recent years. Compared with the traditional AO biological nitrogen removal, this technology oxidizes ammonia nitrogen at the nitrite nitrogen stage and converts it into ammonia nitrogen by denitrification and discharges it, omitting the conversion process of intermediate nitrate nitrogen. It can accelerate the reaction process while reducing the aeration and carbon source supply, effectively reducing the operation cost; the anaerobic ammonium oxidation technology is another newly emerging biological nitrogen removal process. This process can save 60% of the aeration volume compared with the traditional process, does not require additional carbon source addition, and has the advantages of short hydraulic retention time, high treatment efficiency, and small floor area. The prerequisite for this process is a stable supply of nitrite nitrogen, and the product of short-cut nitrification is exactly nitrite nitrogen. Therefore, a large number of scholars have also coupled the two processes to achieve a low-consumption and high-efficiency biological nitrogen removal method.

[0003] The short-cut nitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonium oxidation technology has the advantages of saving operation energy consumption, not requiring organic carbon source, and being applicable to high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater. However, to achieve the stable operation of this process, there are also relatively strict external conditions, such as higher temperature, low C / N, low dissolved oxygen, etc. In the northern or western alpine regions, a large amount of energy is often consumed for heat preservation.

[0004] At present, the commonly used reaction forms are continuous reaction tanks and sequencing batch reactors. In the operation of continuous reaction tanks, there are problems such as difficult precise adjustment of aeration and easy occurrence of over-aeration, which easily leads to a decrease in nitrite yield and affects the treatment effect of the entire reaction; although the sequencing batch reactor can flexibly control the aeration time, there are problems such as small treatment water volume and low treatment efficiency, and it is difficult to effectively treat wastewater on a large scale. Whether it is a continuous or sequencing batch reaction form, there are still various limitations in actual operation. Content of the Utility Model

[0035] The aeration system 6 is connected to the gas collection hood 3 through a pipeline, and a blower B17 is installed on the pipeline.

[0036] A three-phase separator A8 and an exhaust pipe 9 are arranged at the top of the anaerobic zone 4. The exhaust port at the top of the exhaust pipe 9 is located inside the gas collection hood 3. The nitrogen gas generated in the anaerobic zone 4 is transported into the top gas collection hood 3 to avoid the impact of the generated nitrogen gas on the aerobic zone microorganisms.

[0037] The water distribution system and the aeration system 6 can provide an appropriate upward flow rate for the formation of granular sludge, avoid the deflocculation of granular sludge, and in order to prevent the dissolved oxygen in the anaerobic zone 4 from being too high, the aeration system 6 draws air from inside the gas collection hood 3.

[0038] The aerobic zone 5 is composed of a MABR membrane aeration bioreactor. The MABR membrane aeration bioreactor is connected to a blower A16 through a pipeline. A biofilm for the growth of microorganisms adheres to the outer surface of the hollow fiber membrane. Air supplies oxygen to the biofilm through the hollow fiber membrane to achieve efficient micro-aeration, and at the same time ensure that the sludge is in a suspended state and will not deposit at the bottom of the tank. A water distribution system is arranged at the bottom of the aerobic zone 5. The water distribution system is connected to a carbon source and alkalinity inlet 10. The water distribution system can evenly distribute the carbon source and alkalinity, and can ensure the stable operation of the shortcut nitrification reaction.

[0039] An overflow weir 11 with a serrated structure is arranged at the top opening end of the sleeve 2.

[0040] A three-phase separator B12 is installed in the separation zone.

[0046] The specific working principle of the present utility model:

[0047] The present utility model is divided into three parts: anaerobic zone, aerobic zone, and separation zone from bottom to top. The wastewater uniformly enters the reactor through the bottom water distribution system of the tank. In the anaerobic zone, the uncompletely converted organic nitrogen is completely converted into ammonia nitrogen. Then, through the aerobic zone, a short-cut nitrification reaction occurs to convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrite nitrogen, which is then refluxed to the anaerobic zone again through the reflux system in the pool wall part. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction occurs between ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen here to generate nitrogen gas and be discharged, realizing biological nitrogen removal.

[0048] Specific wastewater treatment process: The wastewater to be treated uniformly enters the bottom of the anaerobic zone from all around the system. A microporous aeration system is provided at the bottom of the anaerobic zone, and the inlet gas is the oxygen-free gas in the system gas collection hood. The purpose is to provide negative pressure for reflux to ensure the stability of the reflux layer and at the same time provide an upward flow rate for the granular sludge.

[0049] The wastewater flows upward, passes through the anaerobic zone, and ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen are converted into ammonia nitrogen and discharged through anaerobic ammonium oxidation granular sludge, realizing biological nitrogen removal. At the same time, a part of the organic nitrogen in the influent is ammoniated to improve the nitrogen removal effect. A three-phase separator is provided at the top of the anaerobic zone, which can separate the anaerobic granular sludge from the water and at the same time transport the generated nitrogen gas to the top gas collection hood to avoid the impact of the generated nitrogen gas on the microorganisms in the aerobic zone.

[0050] The wastewater continues to flow upward and enters the aerobic zone, reacting with the biofilm attached to the surface of the MABR membrane-aerated bioreactor. The microorganisms convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrite nitrogen, providing raw materials for the anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction. Air permeates oxygen from the inside to the outside through the hollow fiber membrane, reducing sludge production while improving the oxygen utilization rate. A water distribution system is provided at the bottom of the aerobic zone, which can provide carbon source and alkalinity in time when the short-cut nitrification reaction is unstable to ensure the stability of the reaction. An overflow weir is provided at the upper part of the aerobic zone, and the treated water of the reaction flows through the overflow weir and completes reflux in the reflux layer.

[0051] The wastewater continues to flow upward. A three-phase separator is also provided at the upper part of the reactor to separate mud, water, and gas. The effluent is transparent and clear, and the separated gas is briefly collected in the top gas collection hood and then discharged through the gas outlet.

[0052] The above is an example of the best implementation mode of the present utility model, and the parts not described in detail are all common general knowledge in the art. The protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the content of the claims, and any equivalent transformation based on the technical disclosure of the present utility model is also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
