Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an artificial wetland system for treating the tail water of sewage with enhanced nitrogen removal. Background Art

[0002] The artificial wetland sewage treatment system is a new type of ecological sewage treatment technology developed on the basis of the purification of natural wetlands, and has the characteristics of good pollution purification effect, low operation cost and easy maintenance. Its essence is actually a combination of numerous A1 / O biological nitrogen removal processes. The removal effect of pollutants is affected and restricted by various factors, such as dissolved oxygen in the wetland, air temperature, wetland plants, wetland microorganisms, etc. These factors can all limit the further improvement of the wetland purification effect and become an important factor restricting the popularization and application of wetlands. At present, it is considered that the subsurface flow type artificial wetland is a wetland type with better application effect, but there are still many problems in the subsurface flow type artificial wetland, such as hypoxia inside the wetland. The oxygen transported to the roots by the photosynthesis of aquatic plants can basically only meet the respiration of plant roots. The oxygen required by aerobic microorganisms mainly comes from the reoxygenation of the atmosphere on the water surface, and with the increase of water depth, it becomes an anoxic and anaerobic environment. In winter at low temperature, the water body communicates with the atmosphere, the water temperature decreases, the microbial activity decreases, affecting the nitrogen removal effect. At the same time, after the aquatic plants wither and are harvested in winter, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the root water body is even lower, becoming an anoxic or anaerobic state, and the number of aerobic microorganisms decreases by an order of magnitude, affecting the progress of the nitrification reaction. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model provides an artificial wetland system for treating the tail water of sewage with enhanced nitrogen removal to eliminate the potential safety hazards of the reverse operation of the man-riding vehicle, aiming at solving the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model first proposes an artificial wetland system for treating the tail water of sewage with enhanced nitrogen removal, which includes a plurality of unit wetlands. Each unit wetland includes inlet ditches on both sides, a horizontal subsurface flow type wetland arranged between the inlet ditches on both sides, a vertical subsurface flow type wetland arranged below the horizontal subsurface flow type wetland, and a drainage channel arranged on the drainage side of the unit wetland. The inlet ditch and the horizontal subsurface flow type wetland are separated by a permeable orifice plate. The vertical subsurface flow type wetland includes a water collecting ditch arranged in the middle of the unit wetland and parallel to the inlet ditch. A water collecting pipe is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting ditch, and the outlet of the water collecting pipe is communicated with the drainage channel through a drainage well. Bottom gravel and middle gravel are sequentially arranged from bottom to top in the water collecting ditch to form a vertical subsurface flow type wetland.

[0005] The horizontal subsurface flow wetland includes pits symmetrically arranged on both sides of the collection ditch with the collection ditch as the center to form an aeration area. Multiple microporous aeration pipes are arranged in the aeration area. The microporous aeration pipes are arranged in the same direction as the water collection pipe. The aeration area is filled with bottom gravel. The top surface of the aeration area and the top surface of the collection ditch are successively paved with upper gravel and surface soil from bottom to top to form a horizontal subsurface flow wetland. Aquatic plants are planted on the surface soil.

[0006] In this embodiment, the water inlet ditch is 40 cm deep, and a cover plate is provided on the water inlet ditch for sealing.

[0007] In this embodiment, the width of the horizontal subsurface flow wetland between the two water inlet ditches is 2A, where A ≤ 5 m. The depth of the horizontal subsurface flow wetland is 0.4 m. The width of the collection ditch is 0.8 m, and the depth is (0.2 - 0.25) × A.

[0008] In this embodiment, the width of the aeration area is B, where B < A - 0.4 m, and the depth h of the aeration area > 0.2 m.

[0009] In this embodiment, three microporous aeration pipes are evenly arranged in the aeration area. A porous protection pipe is sleeved outside the microporous aeration pipe. The air inlet end of the microporous aeration pipe is connected to the pipeline of a Roots blower.

[0010] In this embodiment, the particle size of the bottom gravel is 40 - 60 mm, the particle size of the middle gravel is 20 - 40 mm, and the particle size of the upper gravel is 10 - 30 mm.

[0011] In this embodiment, the aquatic plants are reeds, cannas, dracaena sanderiana or cyperus alternifolius.

[0012] Due to the above structure, microporous aeration is formed by arranging microporous aeration pipes at the bottom of the horizontal subsurface flow wetland, thereby increasing the dissolved oxygen in the water. Due to the existence of organic matter in the root exudates of aquatic plants, aerobic microorganisms in the rhizosphere of the soil and gravel multiply vigorously, forming an obvious nitrification reaction area. The organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the tail water enter the vertical subsurface flow wetland after a long-time nitrification reaction. The hydraulic retention times of the two areas are in a ratio of 5 - 6:1. The dissolved oxygen in the water is exhausted, forming an anoxic and anaerobic area. Under the action of denitrifying bacteria, nitrate nitrogen is denitrified to form nitrogen gas, which is discharged with the drainage or discharged into the atmosphere from the wetland.

[0013] To sum up, this structure strengthens the nitrification reaction area and the denitrification reaction area, increases the nitrogen removal efficiency. At the same time, the surface soil on the upper part of the wetland blocks the contact between the water body and the atmosphere, playing a role in water body heat preservation when the winter temperature is relatively low. At the same time, the aeration at the bottom enables the aerobic microorganisms in the roots to still maintain good activity even when the aquatic plants lack photosynthesis in winter, improving the total nitrogen removal rate of the wetland in winter.

The vertical subsurface flow wetland includes a water collection ditch 4 parallel to the water inlet ditch 1 arranged in the middle of the unit wetland. The bottom of the water collection ditch 4 is provided with a water collection pipe 5. The water outlet of the water collection pipe 5 is communicated with the drainage channel 14 through a drainage well 7. The bottom layer gravel 9 and the middle layer gravel 10 are sequentially arranged in the water collection ditch 4 from bottom to top to form a vertical subsurface flow wetland;

[0023] The horizontal subsurface flow wetland includes depression pits symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water collecting ditch 4 with the water collecting ditch 4 as the center to form an aeration zone 3.

The aeration zone 3 is filled with bottom gravel 9. The top surface of the aeration zone 3, the top surface of the water collecting ditch 4 and the bottom surface of the water inlet ditch 1 are flush; The top surface of the aeration zone 3 and the top surface of the water collecting ditch 4 are successively paved with upper gravel 11 and surface soil 13 from bottom to top to form a horizontal subsurface flow wetland, and aquatic plants 12 are planted on the surface soil 13.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the water inlet ditch 1 is 40 cm deep and has a cover plate. The width of the horizontal subsurface flow wetland between the two water inlet ditches 1 is 2A, A≤5m, the depth is 40 cm, the width of the water collecting ditch 4 is 80 cm, and the depth is (0.2 - 0.25)A. The width of the aeration zone 3 is B, B﹤A - 0.4m, and the depth h of the aeration zone 3>20 cm.

[0025] Furthermore, three microporous aeration pipes 8 are evenly arranged in the aeration zone 3. A porous protection pipe is sleeved outside the microporous aeration pipe 8.
