Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to an MBR sludge return optimization system. Background Art
[0002] In today's sewage treatment field, membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been widely used due to its advantages such as efficient solid-liquid separation ability, high biomass and small footprint. During operation, the microorganisms in the bioreactor degrade and transform pollutants such as organic matter in the sewage.
[0003] However, over time, existing MBR systems began to experience issues with sludge return. The entire MBR sludge return water entered the biochemical tank. This prolonged return flow resulted in excessive sludge levels in the biochemical tank, which in turn increased the operational burden on the MBR. This resulted in an increasing amount of sludge accumulation in the biochemical tank, leaving the problem of excessive sludge in the tank unresolved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The utility model aims to provide an MBR sludge return optimization system which can reduce the operating burden of an MBR pool.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] The MBR sludge return optimization system is characterized in that it includes a clarifier, a biochemical tank and an MBR tank connected in sequence, the MBR tank is connected to the biochemical tank pipeline through a return pipe, a return pump is provided on the return pipe, a tee is also provided on the return pipe, an interception pipe is connected to the tee, the other end of the interception pipe is connected to the clarifier, and a regulating valve is also provided on the interception pipe.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0008] By intercepting a portion of the sludge that returns to the biochemical pool, the sludge content in the biochemical pool is reduced, reducing the operating burden of the MBR pool and further reducing the cleaning frequency of the MBR pool, thereby extending the operating cycle. At the same time, the inlet and outlet water indicators of the MBR pool are well controlled, and the amount of sludge return can be adjusted at any time through the valve, effectively extending the service life of the MBR membrane.
[0009] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it according to the contents of the specification, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0015] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0016] See Figure 1 The MBR sludge return optimization system shown in a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a clarifier 1, a biochemical tank 2 and an MBR tank 3 connected in sequence.

The tee is connected to an intercepting pipe 7. The other end of the intercepting pipe 7 is connected to the clarifier 1. A regulating valve 6 is also provided on the intercepting pipe.
[0017] Working principle:
[0018] By installing a tee and an intercepting pipe on the existing return pipe, a portion of the sludge return water from the MBR tank 3 to the biochemical tank 2 is diverted to the clarifier tank 1 for dosing, sedimentation, and filtration. The diversion flow rate can be adjusted by the regulating valve 6. Through this process, the flow rate of the sludge return water to the biochemical tank 2 can be adjusted according to the situation, thereby reducing the sludge content in the biochemical tank 2 and alleviating the operating burden of the MBR tank 3, thereby extending the service life of the MBR membrane.
