Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sludge treatment, and in particular relates to a sludge reduction treatment system based on a CASS process. Background Art

[0002] The main ways to reduce sludge include thermal drying, composting, incineration, sludge digestion and process reduction. Thermal drying evaporates the water in the sludge by heating, reducing the moisture content. It is suitable for large-scale treatment, but the cost is relatively high. Composting uses the organic matter in the sludge for fermentation to generate heat for evaporating water. It is suitable for sludge with a high organic content, occupies a large area, and is difficult to treat odor. Incineration converts sludge into ash through high-temperature combustion, with significant reduction effects, but the cost is high. Sludge digestion uses oxygen to convert sludge into carbon dioxide and water. It is effective and requires professional equipment and management. Process reduction reduces sludge production by optimizing the sludge treatment process. It is effective and requires professional technical support.

[0003] The CASS process is a modified sequencing batch activated sludge process. By adding a bioselector to the SBR tank, it achieves a continuous water inlet and intermittent drainage operation mode. It combines anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic conditions to improve the nitrogen and phosphorus removal effects. However, the sludge treatment process produces a large amount of sludge. Conventional sludge reduction technology mainly focuses on the back-end treatment of sludge. Through physical or chemical methods, the sludge microorganisms are broken to release the water in the microbial cells. The water is then squeezed out by filter pressing to reduce the water content of the sludge, thereby achieving the purpose of sludge reduction. The disadvantage of this method is that it consumes a lot of energy and has high operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sludge reduction treatment system based on the CASS process.

[0005] The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0010] Furthermore, control valves are respectively provided on the pipeline between the CASS biochemical reaction unit and the BSR reaction unit, the pipeline between the temporary bacteria culture unit and the BSR reaction unit, and the pipeline between the CASS biochemical reaction unit and the temporary bacteria culture unit.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] 1) The activated sludge treated by the BSR reaction unit in the temporary culture unit can be used as a culture medium for bacterial strains, without the need for additional nutrients. The dominant bacterial strains of sludge that have been domesticated and expanded and added into the system at one time improve the biodegradability of microbial debris while maintaining the biochemical treatment effect of sewage, thus ensuring the stable operation of the sewage treatment system;

[0013] 2) During the transportation process, the residual sludge after treatment in the CASS biochemical reaction unit is treated in the BSR reaction unit. The microorganisms on the sludge surface undergo electrochemical reactions, inactivating their cells and even breaking their cell walls, thus achieving in-situ sludge reduction.

[0018] Example

[0019] A sludge reduction treatment process using the above system comprises the following steps:
