Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, in particular to an ozone buffer tank device for preventing wastewater backflow. Background Technique

[0002] At present, environmental protection in China is becoming increasingly strict, and the requirements for sewage treatment, high-salt wastewater treatment, and zero discharge of water treatment are getting higher and higher. The ozone catalytic oxidation process is increasingly used to remove high-content and long-chain COD in wastewater, and has increasingly become a process adopted in water treatment environmental protection projects.

[0003] In the ozone catalytic oxidation process, ozone, a main raw material needed, is easy to decompose and cannot be stored or transported. It must be produced on-site and used immediately. After being produced by equipment such as an ozone generator, ozone is transported through an ozone pipeline to a gas-water mixing device near the ozone catalytic oxidation tank. After being mixed with the wastewater to be treated by the gas-water mixing device, it enters the ozone catalytic oxidation tank. To prevent ozone from escaping, the water inlet pipe is usually arranged below the liquid level. The wastewater of the gas-water mixing device is taken from the tank body by a jet pump and transferred to the gas-water mixing device by the jet pump.

[0004] The existing treatment process has some problems, including: (1) The jet pump runs for 24 hours. Once the jet pump fails, a micro-negative pressure state will be formed in the ozone pipeline, and the wastewater in the ozone catalytic oxidation tank will be sucked into the ozone transmission pipeline and then enter the ozone generator, damaging the ozone generator. The ozone generator equipment is expensive, and once damaged, the loss is serious; (2) Usually, a check valve is installed on the ozone pipeline. However, if the check valve is damaged during operation, the same problems will occur in the whole system, and it is impossible to make a timely judgment and take relevant emergency measures.

The safety valve is connected to a safety valve outlet pipe, and the safety valve outlet pipe is connected to the tail gas destroyer at the top of the ozone catalytic oxidation tank.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the automatic valve of the ozone inlet pipe is interlocked with the liquid level gauge. When the liquid level in the ozone buffer tank body rises to the set value, the automatic valve of the ozone inlet pipe is closed.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the automatic valve of the ozone inlet pipe, the check valve of the ozone outlet pipe, the evacuation valve, and the safety valve are all subjected to rust removal, purging, and degreasing treatments.

[0028] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, an ozone buffer tank device for preventing wastewater backflow provided by the present utility model includes: an ozone buffer tank body 1, an ozone inlet pipe 3 is provided at the top of the ozone buffer tank body 1, and an ozone inlet pipe automatic valve 4 is provided on the ozone inlet pipe 3; an ozone outlet pipe 7 is provided in the upper part of the ozone buffer tank body 1, and an ozone outlet pipe check valve 8 is installed on the ozone outlet pipe 7; a liquid level gauge 9 is installed at the lower part of the ozone buffer tank body 1; a pressure gauge 2 and a safety valve 5 are further provided at the top of the ozone buffer tank body 1, the safety valve 5 is connected to a safety valve outlet pipe 6, and the safety valve outlet pipe 6 is connected to a tail gas destroyer at the top of the ozone catalytic oxidation tank;

[0030] The ozone buffer tank device of the present utility model is applied to an ozone catalytic oxidation system. Among them, the ozone catalytic oxidation system includes an ozone generator, a wastewater tank, and an ozone catalytic oxidation tank. The ozone generator is sequentially connected to an ozone buffer tank and a gas-water mixing device. The wastewater tank is also connected to the gas-water mixing device through a jet pump, and the gas-water mixing device is connected to the ozone catalytic oxidation tank; specifically, the ozone buffer tank body 1 is connected to the ozone generator through the ozone inlet pipe 3 and is connected to the gas-water mixing device through the ozone outlet pipe 7; the ozone generator, the ozone inlet pipe automatic valve 4, the evacuation valve 11, and the liquid level gauge 9 are connected to an electrical control device; an evacuation pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the ozone buffer tank, and an evacuation valve 11 is provided on the evacuation pipe 10; the evacuation valve 11 is connected to the electrical control device;

[0031] When the ozone catalytic oxidation system operates normally, the ozone generated by the ozone generator is transported out through the ozone pipeline, and successively passes through the ozone inlet pipe 3, the ozone inlet pipe automatic valve 4, the ozone buffer tank, the ozone outlet pipe 7, and the ozone outlet pipe check valve 8 until it reaches the gas-water mixing device and enters the ozone catalytic oxidation tank;

[0032] Under normal operating conditions, the safety valve 5 is closed and the evacuation valve 11 is closed;

[0033] The pressure gauge 2 and the automatic valve are both connected to the electrical control device. When the pressure measured by the pressure gauge 2 exceeds the set value, the electrical control device controls the safety valve 5 to open, and discharges the ozone in the ozone buffer tank body 1 to the tail gas destroyer at the top of the ozone catalytic oxidation tank until the pressure in the ozone buffer tank body 1 returns to the normal level;

[0034] The liquid level gauge 9 monitors the liquid level in the ozone buffer tank body 1. When the wastewater backflows due to a system failure, the liquid level rises. When the liquid level rises to the set value, the electrical control device controls the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe to close and the ozone generator to stop;

[0035] With the ozone generator closed and the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe in the closed state, the fault is checked manually. After confirming safety, the electrical control device controls the drain valve 11 to open, and drains the backflow wastewater in the ozone buffer tank body 1. After the wastewater is drained, the drain valve 11 is closed.

[0036] After the ozone catalytic oxidation system fault is eliminated and the wastewater is drained, the ozone generator and the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe are restarted, and the ozone catalytic oxidation system resumes normal operation.

[0037] In the present utility model, the liquid level gauge 9 is a static pressure liquid level gauge.

[0039] In the present utility model, the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe is a pneumatic on-off ball valve. The automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe is interlocked with the liquid level gauge 9. When the liquid level in the ozone buffer tank body 1 rises to the set value, the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe is closed. In the present utility model, when the liquid level reaches 100 mm, the ozone inlet automatic valve is closed.

[0040] In the present utility model, the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe, the check valve 8 of the ozone outlet pipe, the drain valve 11 and the safety valve 5 are all treated by rust removal, purging and degreasing.

[0041] In the present utility model, the drain valve 11 must be opened only when the entire ozone catalytic oxidation system is shut down. When the operator needs to manually open the drain valve 11, the operator needs to wear protective equipment; if the ozone buffer tank is placed indoors, all doors and windows need to be opened to keep the air circulating.

[0047] Step 4: The liquid level gauge 9 monitors the liquid level in the ozone buffer tank body 1. When the liquid level rises to the set value, it is judged that the ozone catalytic oxidation system fails and causes wastewater backflow;

[0048] Step 5: The electrical control equipment controls the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe to close and the ozone generator to stop;

[0049] Step 6: Manually check and eliminate the fault;

[0050] Step 7: The electrical control equipment controls the drain valve 11 to open, drain the backflow wastewater in the ozone buffer tank body 1, and close the drain valve 11 after the wastewater is drained;

[0051] Step 8: Restart the ozone generator and the automatic valve 4 of the ozone inlet pipe, and the ozone catalytic oxidation system resumes normal operation.
