Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing and dyeing wastewater treatment, in particular to an activated sludge online monitoring device for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment. Background Art
[0002] In the field of printing and dyeing wastewater treatment, the activated sludge process is widely used due to its efficient organic matter degradation capabilities. However, printing and dyeing wastewater has a complex composition, high chemical oxygen demand (COD), and high suspended solids content. This leads to intense competition between heterotrophic bacteria and nitrifying bacteria in the activated sludge, which in turn causes fluctuations in effluent ammonia and nitrogen concentrations, affecting the final effluent quality. To monitor the activity status of the activated sludge in real time, adjust process parameters promptly, and ensure the stable operation of the wastewater treatment system, online activated sludge monitoring devices have emerged for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment.
[0003] Conventional activated sludge monitoring devices are mostly capable of detecting only a single parameter, such as the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) or nitrification rate. This single-parameter monitoring approach presents significant limitations. Because the activated sludge system is a complex ecosystem, a single parameter cannot fully and accurately reflect the overall activity of the sludge, nor can it enable linked analysis of heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria activity. When sludge activity is impacted or process conditions change, the monitoring results of a single parameter often lag, preventing timely warnings. This can lead to fluctuations in effluent quality and even system failure. This limitation severely restricts the effectiveness of traditional monitoring devices in the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent effluent quality requirements. Utility Model Content

Functional configuration: Built-in alarm commands (such as ALARM_8P) with threshold triggering and delay detection; PROFINET connection to an HMI (such as the TP700 Comfort screen) for pop-up notifications; and expansion module SM1223 (digital I / O) for controlling audible and visual alarms (such as the Omron E3K series).
[0024] Example: See Figures 1-6The present invention provides a technical solution: an online activated sludge monitoring device for dyeing and printing wastewater treatment, comprising a machine housing 1, a centralized control panel 2 mounted on the machine housing 1, and a monitoring unit 3 for online monitoring of the activated sludge disposed within the machine housing 1. The monitoring unit 3 is signal-connected to the centralized control panel 2 and includes a sampling and pretreatment subunit 31 for extracting and treating wastewater from a biochemical tank, a reaction and measurement subunit 32 for biochemical reactions and measurements of the wastewater, and a dosing subunit 33 for adding reagents. Through the centralized control panel 2, staff can conveniently view monitoring data and control the operating status of the monitoring unit 3, improving work efficiency and convenience.
[0025] One side of the reaction and measurement subunit 32 is connected to the sampling and pretreatment subunit 31, and the other side of the reaction and measurement subunit 32 is connected to the dosing subunit 33. This allows the sewage to flow smoothly between the various subunit areas, ensuring the continuity and stability of the monitoring process.
[0026] Furthermore, the sampling and pretreatment subunit 31 includes a mounting base 311 disposed in the machine housing 1. A first liquid pump 312 is disposed on the mounting base 311. A liquid collection pipe 313 is fixed to the liquid inlet of the first liquid pump 312. A large-pore filter 314 is provided on the liquid collection pipe 313. A first liquid outlet pipe 315 is provided at the liquid outlet of the first liquid pump 312. An electric two-way valve 316 is provided on the first liquid outlet pipe 315. Both liquid outlet ends of the electric two-way valve 316 are fixed with mounting pipes 317. The mounting pipe 317 is connected to the reaction and measurement subunit 32. The large-pore filter 314 can effectively remove large-particle suspended matter in the sewage, preventing these impurities from entering the subsequent system and causing blockage or damage, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0027] Furthermore, the machine housing 1 is provided with a through-hole for a first liquid outlet pipe 315 to pass through. Once through the through-hole, the first liquid outlet pipe 315 can communicate with the biochemical pool. This allows the sampling and pretreatment subunit 31 to extract wastewater directly from the biochemical pool, ensuring representative and real-time sampling, and providing accurate data for subsequent monitoring.
[0028] Furthermore, the reaction and measurement subunit 32 includes a first reaction vessel 321 disposed within the machine housing 1. The first reaction vessel 321 is connected to a mounting pipe 317 at one end of the electric two-way valve 316 and is equipped with an agitator 322. An aerator 323 is also housed within the machine housing 1. A first connecting pipe 324 is secured to the output end of the aerator 323. A double-layered annular aeration head 325 is mounted on the inner wall of the first reaction vessel 321 and is connected to the first connecting pipe 324. A dissolved oxygen meter 326 and a sludge concentration meter 327 are also mounted within the first reaction vessel 321. These meters can monitor key parameters during the reaction in real time, providing strong support for subsequent data processing.
[0029] Furthermore, the machine housing 1 houses a nitrate-nitrogen testing device 328. A second pump 329 is mounted externally to the nitrate-nitrogen testing device 328. The liquid outlet of the second pump 329 is connected to the interior of the nitrate-nitrogen testing device 328. A second connecting pipe 3210 is secured to the liquid inlet of the second pump 329, which is in communication with the first reaction vessel 321. The nitrate-nitrogen testing device 328 accurately measures the nitrate-nitrogen concentration in wastewater, providing data support for calculating key parameters such as the specific nitrification rate. The second pump 329 ensures a stable supply of sample during the test.
[0030] Furthermore, a safety filter 3211 for secondary filtration of the extracted solution is provided on the second connecting pipe 3210. The safety filter 3211 can further remove tiny impurities in the sample, protecting the nitric nitrogen testing device 328 from contamination and damage, thereby extending the service life of the device.
[0031] Furthermore, a second reaction vessel 3212 is disposed within the machine housing 1. A capacitive level gauge 3213 is installed within this second reaction vessel 3212. A mounting tube 317 at the other end of the electric two-way valve 316 is connected to the second reaction vessel 3212. This second reaction vessel 3212 provides an independent space for measuring the sludge volume index, preventing interference with other reaction processes. The capacitive level gauge 3213 accurately measures the sludge layer height, providing reliable data for calculating the sludge volume index.
[0032] Furthermore, the dosing subunit 33 includes a drug storage tank 331 disposed within the machine housing 1. A third liquid pump 332 is disposed at the top of the drug storage tank 331. The liquid inlet of the third liquid pump 332 is connected to the drug storage tank 331, and the liquid outlet of the third liquid pump 332 is connected to a drug outlet pipe 333, which is in communication with the first reaction vessel 321. The dosing subunit 33 can add necessary reagents, such as ammonium chloride solution, to the reaction vessel as needed to maintain the smooth progress of the biochemical reaction. The third liquid pump 332 ensures accurate addition and a stable supply of reagents.
[0033] The online activated sludge monitoring device for dyeing wastewater treatment operates as follows: A monitoring unit 3 is integrated within the machine housing 1. This unit comprises a sampling and pretreatment subunit 31, a reaction and measurement subunit 32, and a dosing subunit 33. First, the sampling and pretreatment subunit 31 begins operation. The first pump 312 on the mounting base 311 draws wastewater from the biochemical pool via a liquid intake pipe 313. A large-pore filter 314 on the liquid intake pipe 313 removes suspended solids larger than 3 cm, ensuring relatively clean water entering the subsequent system. The first pump 312 then distributes the filtered wastewater through a first outlet pipe 315 and an electric two-way valve 316 to two mounting pipes 317, ultimately delivering it to the first reaction vessel 321 and second reaction vessel 3212 of the reaction and measurement subunit 32, respectively.
[0034] In the reaction and measurement subunit 32, the system will perform corresponding biochemical reactions and measurements according to different monitoring requirements. For monitoring of specific oxygen consumption rate (SOUR), the aerator 323 aerates the reaction vessel through the first connecting pipe 324 and the double-layer annular aeration head 325 to increase the dissolved oxygen to the set value DO 01 . 5 seconds after aeration is stopped, the dissolved oxygen meter 326 records the dissolved oxygen data DO1 in real time, and the sludge concentration meter 327 reads the sludge concentration (MLSS1) value. The agitator 322 is started to consume the dissolved oxygen, and the dissolved oxygen meter 326 continues to record data until the dissolved oxygen concentration drops below 2 mg / L. By fitting the curve of dissolved oxygen concentration changing with time (DO-t curve), the oxygen consumption rate constant k is calculated, and then the specific oxygen consumption rate is obtained according to the formula SOUR=k / MLSS1. This parameter is monitored once an hour, and its baseline value is taken from the sliding average of the past 7 days. When the SOUR value is lower than 30% of the baseline value, the multi-level warning of the centralized control screen 2 will be triggered.
[0035] Monitoring of the specific nitrification rate (SNUR) is also performed in the first reaction vessel 321. After the sample enters the reaction vessel, the third pump 332 of the dosing subunit 33 extracts ammonium chloride solution from the drug storage tank 331 and adds it to the reaction vessel through the drug outlet pipe 333. The agitator 322 operates for 30 seconds to mix the solution evenly. After standing for 5 minutes, the second pump 329 extracts the supernatant through the second connecting pipe 3210 and the security filter 3211 and sends it to the nitric nitrogen testing equipment 328 to detect the initial nitric nitrogen concentration N1. Subsequently, the aerator 323 is restarted to maintain the dissolved oxygen concentration constant at the set value DO 02The sludge concentration is monitored at ±0.2 mg / L. Simultaneously, a sludge concentration meter 327 measures the sludge concentration (MLSS2). Aeration is stopped after 2 hours, and after 5 minutes of sludge sludge concentration is again collected and tested for the nitrate nitrogen concentration (N2). The specific nitrification rate (SNUR) is calculated using the formula SNUR = (N2 - N1) / 2 / MLSS2. This parameter is monitored daily, with the baseline value being the sliding average of the past 30 days. When the SNUR value falls below 15% of the baseline, a multi-level warning is triggered on centralized control panel 2.
[0036] The sludge volume index (SVI) is monitored in the second reaction vessel 3212. After the sample enters the reaction vessel, it is allowed to rest for two hours. The capacitive level meter 3213 reads the sludge layer height (H mL) to obtain the sludge volume (SV). Combined with the sludge concentration (MLSS1) measured during the specific oxygen consumption rate monitoring, the sludge volume index is calculated using the formula SVI = SV × 10 / MLSS1. This parameter is monitored daily, with a normal range of 50 to 150. Exceeding this range triggers an alert.
[0037] During the entire monitoring process, the control system in the centralized control screen 2 collects, transmits and processes data in real time, and makes judgments based on preset benchmark values and algorithms. It triggers the early warning module when necessary and can display alarm information through the centralized control screen 2 to ensure the stable operation of the monitoring unit 3.
[0038] The above embodiments merely represent one or several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
