Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an aquaculture tail water treatment system based on a membrane aeration biofilm reactor. Background Art
[0002] Selecting appropriate technology to treat aquaculture tail water and make it meet discharge standards has become one of the current research hotspots.
[0003] Aquaculture tailwater is characterized by high protein content (due to feed, excrement, and other factors), high suspended solids content, high nitrogen and phosphorus levels, and low water transparency. Discharging untreated or substandard aquaculture tailwater directly can lead to a range of ecological and environmental problems, including eutrophication, excessive algae growth, and deteriorating water quality.
[0004] Aquaculture tailwater treatment can be primarily categorized into biological, physical, and chemical methods, with biological methods considered the most cost-effective way to remove tailwater pollutants. The membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a novel water treatment device that combines a membrane separation unit with a biological treatment unit. It leverages the advantages of membrane and biological treatment technologies to achieve efficient water purification and mud-water separation. The membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a novel wastewater treatment device that combines gas separation membrane technology with biofilm water treatment technology. It uses hollow fiber membranes to supply oxygen to the biofilm, achieving wastewater purification and stable biofilm growth.
[0005] At present, most of the biological methods for treating aquaculture tailwater use MBR or MABR alone, which has low treatment efficiency. Even if the two are used in combination, the process is relatively complicated. For example, Chinese patent ZL202310291402.0 discloses a skid-mounted aquaculture tailwater treatment system based on the coupling of MABR and MBR. Although the system comprehensively utilizes MBR and MABR to improve the tailwater treatment efficiency, its structure is relatively complex, and the organic matter, especially the total nitrogen index in the treated tailwater, still has the technical problem of exceeding the discharge standard.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an aquaculture tailwater treatment system that is high-efficiency, low-energy-consuming, and can effectively reduce organic matter emission indicators. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the above technical issues, this utility model proposes a treatment system based on a high-efficiency flotation and membrane aeration biofilm reactor. By combining high-efficiency flotation and membrane aeration biofilm reactors with traditional biochemical treatment, this system effectively reduces the protein, suspended matter, and nitrogen and phosphorus content in tailwater, significantly improving water clarity, and increasing aquaculture tailwater treatment efficiency, saving energy, and reducing carbon emissions.
[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0009] A breeding tailwater treatment system based on a membrane aeration biofilm reactor comprises a grit chamber, a high-efficiency flotation device connected to the grit chamber, the high-efficiency flotation device connected to a primary membrane bioreactor, the primary membrane bioreactor connected to a secondary membrane aeration biofilm reactor, the secondary membrane aeration biofilm reactor connected to a multi-media filter, and the multi-media filter connected to a clear water tank; sludge from the high-efficiency flotation device, the primary membrane bioreactor and the secondary membrane aeration biofilm reactor is discharged into a sludge thickening tank.
[0010] According to a further technical solution, the first-level membrane bioreactor and the second-level membrane aeration biofilm reactor are equipped with Roots blowers to provide oxygen.
[0011] According to a further technical solution, the high-efficiency air flotation device is connected to an air compressor, which provides an air flotation carrier for it.
[0012] According to a further technical solution, the grit chamber and the clear water tank are provided with liquid level control devices to monitor and control the water level.
[0013] In a further technical solution, the sludge concentration tank is provided with a PAM automatic dosing device, which can timely and quantitatively dose PAM, and the PAM plays a flocculation and sedimentation role, effectively improving the sludge concentration efficiency in the sludge tank.
[0014] In a further technical solution, a first lift pump is provided between the grit chamber and the high-efficiency flotation device. A second lift pump is provided between the secondary membrane aeration biofilm reactor and the multi-media filter. The lift pump facilitates pumping sewage / treated sewage into the device for the next process. Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. The high-efficiency flotation device in this utility model generates a large number of small-diameter bubbles in the sewage. The large contact area between the bubbles and the suspended particles in the sewage greatly improves adsorption efficiency. The bubbles adhere to the surface of the suspended particles and quickly float them to the water surface, effectively removing free protein and suspended matter from the sewage. Simultaneously, nitrification and denitrification occur simultaneously in the membrane aeration biofilm reactor, improving oxygen utilization and total nitrogen removal efficiency.
[0017] 2. The high-efficiency flotation of the utility model has the advantages of high efficiency in removing suspended matter, strong adaptability, small footprint, energy saving and environmental protection, simple operation, convenient maintenance and stable and reliable treatment effect. For aquaculture tail water with high organic components and high solid suspended matter content, it can effectively improve the free protein content and suspended matter removal rate of aquaculture tail water.
[0018] 3. This utility model achieves bubble-free aeration and efficient oxygen transfer through the integration of a two-stage membrane aeration biofilm reactor. During operation, oxygen is transferred from the inner membrane through micropores or a dense membrane structure to the outer membrane, supplying oxygen to the biofilm attached to the outer membrane. During this process, the oxygen pressure remains below the bubble point pressure of the membrane assembly. Therefore, oxygen does not form bubbles during transfer, but rather diffuses directly into the biofilm in molecular form, achieving bubble-free aeration. Bubble-free aeration reduces resistance to oxygen transfer and increases the oxygen transfer rate, allowing oxygen to more efficiently enter the biofilm and promote microbial metabolic activity. Due to this high oxygen transfer efficiency, the MABR has a large aeration membrane area per unit volume, resulting in relatively low energy consumption. The membrane bioreactor combines the advantages of membrane technology and biological treatment technology, achieving highly efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The aerobic biofilm (dominated by nitrifying bacteria) in the aerated biofilm reactor and the denitrifying bacteria growing in suspension in the anoxic zone achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, further enhancing the removal of total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen from wastewater. Oxygen-permeable membranes have a higher oxygen utilization rate, which can more effectively reduce total nitrogen concentration when pollutant concentrations are low, complementing membrane bioreactors. They can simultaneously achieve nitrification and denitrification, achieving high pollutant removal efficiency and excellent treatment effects.
[0019] 4. The service life of the MABR membrane fibers in this invention is as long as 10 years; the hydraulic impact loss is small. Even in the typhoon season or when multiple ponds are fished at the same time, the water quantity and quality can stably meet the standards when the impact load is generated, and the safety performance is high.
[0020] 5. This utility model combines high-efficiency flotation, a membrane bioreactor, and a membrane aerated biofilm reactor. On the one hand, it has high treatment efficiency and simultaneously performs nitrification and denitrification, achieving the goal of highly efficient removal of ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, COD, etc., and can effectively reduce the content of protein and total nitrogen in the effluent, improving the effluent quality. On the other hand, the bubble-free aeration and dual-mode design have low energy consumption, high oxygen transfer efficiency, and energy conservation. It has the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption, and small footprint. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
