The marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] The marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplary, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a marine aquaculture tail water treatment system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The marine aquaculture tail water treatment system 10 of the present application can be used for marine aquaculture tail water treatment.
[0031] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the seawater aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 , the seawater aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a seawater aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. A seawater aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 comprises an inlet pump 100, a system main treatment tank 200, a bacteria-algae bed 300, and a plant floating bed 400. The inlet pump 100 is connected to the system main treatment tank 200 via an inlet pipe. The inlet pump 100 is used to input seawater aquaculture tailwater into the system main treatment tank 200. The bacteria-algae bed 300 and the plant floating bed 400 are both arranged in the system main treatment tank 200. The bacteria-algae bed 300 is used to expand the cultivation of beneficial bacteria and algae species. The plant floating bed 400 is used to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus in the water of the system main treatment tank 200 through the developed root system of the planted plants, thereby achieving the purpose of water purification.
[0033] The aforementioned marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10, based on the traditional three-pond, two-dam system, develops ecological purification units in the marine aquaculture field to construct a marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10, achieving efficient removal of organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus, thereby providing a new method for actual marine aquaculture tailwater treatment. Specifically, the marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 proposed in this application has the advantages of small footprint and low energy consumption. It primarily utilizes an algae / bacteria-shellfish-plant method, offering advantages such as green cleaning, and can efficiently degrade organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorus in marine aquaculture tailwater.
[0034] In some embodiments, the seawater aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 further includes a filter 500. The filter 500 is provided on the water inlet pipe and is located between the water inlet pump 100 and the system main treatment tank 200. The filter 500 is used to intercept most of the suspended matter in the aquaculture tailwater. It should be noted that the filter 500 of the present system only provides the function of intercepting large-particle suspended matter, and its form may also be in the form of a sedimentation tank or any form that achieves the same effect. Preferably, the filter 500 includes a filter screen, activated carbon, a flocculant, and the like.
[0035] In some embodiments, the bacteria-algae bed 300 provides favorable biofilm formation conditions for the expansion of beneficial bacteria and algae species. The beneficial bacteria cultivated in the bacteria-algae bed 300 include one or more of EM bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria.
[0036] EM bacteria, short for "Effective Microorganisms," is a mixture of beneficial microorganisms, including lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and photosynthetic bacteria, in specific proportions. These microorganisms are commonly found in nature and have been combined through specialized cultivation techniques to promote plant growth, improve soil structure, and increase crop yields. EM bacteria have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to the following: Agriculture: In agricultural production, EM bacteria can be used as a biofertilizer to improve soil quality, promote crop growth, and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, thereby achieving the goal of ecological agriculture. Environmental remediation: EM bacteria are also used to treat organic waste, such as kitchen waste and livestock manure, by accelerating the decomposition of organic matter, reducing odors, and converting waste into valuable fertilizer or energy resources. Aquaculture: In aquaculture, EM bacteria can help purify water quality, improve the aquatic environment, promote the healthy growth of aquatic organisms, and increase aquaculture efficiency.
[0037] Photosynthetic bacteria are a class of prokaryotic microorganisms that can use light energy for photosynthesis. Unlike green plants and other algae, photosynthetic bacteria have a unique photosynthetic mechanism. They typically perform photosynthesis in anoxic environments and do not produce oxygen. These bacteria are mainly divided into several different categories, including purple sulfur bacteria, green sulfur bacteria, purple non-sulfur bacteria, and green non-sulfur bacteria. Characteristics of photosynthetic bacteria: Anoxygenic photosynthesis: Photosynthetic bacteria do not release oxygen during photosynthesis because they use other compounds such as hydrogen sulfide or organic acids as electron donors rather than water. Strong adaptability: Photosynthetic bacteria can survive in a wide range of environments, including freshwater, seawater, hot springs, salt lakes, and even in some extreme conditions. Diverse nutritional modes: In addition to photosynthesis, some photosynthetic bacteria can obtain energy through fermentation or respiration, demonstrating strong metabolic flexibility.
[0038] Denitrifying bacteria are microorganisms that, under anoxic conditions, reduce nitrate to nitrite, and then to nitrogen gas. This process, known as denitrification, is a crucial step in the nitrogen cycle. Denitrification helps reduce nitrate levels in water and soil, preventing eutrophication and soil pollution.
[0039] Nitrifying bacteria are microorganisms that oxidize ammonia or ammonium ions into nitrates. This process, called nitrification, is a key step in the nitrogen cycle.
[0040] In some embodiments, the algae species cultivated in the bacterial and algal bed 300 include Chlorella, a genus of the Chlorophyta phylum, which has a strong ability to purify water.
[0041] It should be noted that the algae / bacteria can be any beneficial algae or bacterial species with water treatment effects. Preferably, the algae is Chlorella, a genus of the Chlorophyta phylum with strong water purification capabilities. The beneficial bacterial species are mainly EM bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria, with denitrifying and nitrifying bacteria added as appropriate.
[0042] In some embodiments, the plant floating bed 400 is further connected to a breeding cage 600. Aquatic economic species including oysters are cultured in the breeding cage 600. The aquatic economic species including oysters in the breeding cage can synergize with the algae and bacteria in the algae bed to achieve the absorption and fixation of nitrogen and phosphorus. Considering the closed loop of the ecosystem and the need for timely renewal of aging algae species, a hoisting breeding cage 600 is placed on the plant floating bed 400. On the one hand, oysters, as secondary consumers, can synthesize their own cell structures by consuming excess algae in the system through filter feeding, thereby achieving the ultimate fixation of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus. The oysters in the breeding cage 600 can achieve a synergistic effect with the algae / bacteria to efficiently fix organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus. On the other hand, products such as oysters as economic products can also bring certain economic benefits.
[0043] In some embodiments, preferably, the breeding cage 600 is connected to the bottom of the plant floating bed 400 .
[0044] In some embodiments, the marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 further includes a circulating waterwheel 700. The circulating waterwheel 700 is disposed within the main treatment tank 200 of the system. The circulating waterwheel 700 is used to circulate and agitate the water in the main treatment tank 200 of the system and maintain the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water in the main treatment tank 200 within a certain range.
[0045] In some embodiments, the marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 further includes a drainage well 800. The drainage well 800 is located adjacent to the main treatment tank 200. A drainage channel 900 is connected to the water outlet at the upper portion of the main treatment tank 200. The main treatment tank 200 is connected to the drainage well 800 via the drainage channel 900.
[0046] In some embodiments, the marine aquaculture tailwater treatment system 10 further includes an outlet interception device 1000. The outlet interception device 1000 is disposed at the outlet of the system main treatment tank 200. The outlet interception device 1000 is used to intercept solid debris from the purified water discharged from the system main treatment tank 200.
[0047] In some embodiments, the plant floating bed 400 is a seahorse floating bed. Floating plants and emergent plants, including seahorses, are planted in the seahorse floating bed. Seahorses can absorb nitrogen and phosphorus in sewage through their developed root systems to achieve the purpose of water purification.
[0048] In some embodiments, there are multiple bacterial and algal beds 300.
[0049] In some embodiments, there are multiple floating plant beds 400 .
[0050] It should be noted that the carrier fillers used in the bacteria-algae bed 300 and the plant floating bed 400 are not limited to specific products such as the bacteria-algae bed 300, but include any carrier materials that are conducive to the symbiosis of bacteria and algae biofilm.
[0051] The main advantages of the system for treating marine aquaculture effluent proposed in this application are as follows: it utilizes a symbiotic system of bacteria and algae to fix organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus, without the need for additional chemical agents, etc., making it greener and cleaner; the constructed ecological chain of algae / bacteria + shellfish + plants has the dual attributes of pollutant removal and economic effects; it effectively addresses the technological gap in the field of marine aquaculture effluent treatment and has a specific and good removal effect on marine aquaculture effluent.

[0056] (4) This patent has the dual attributes of pollutant removal and economic crop collection, providing favorable economic value conditions for the construction of actual projects.
[0057] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0058] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily.
