Description

[0002] The infiltration tank of a constructed wetland is a wastewater treatment technology that simulates the functions of a natural wetland. It purifies water through the triple synergistic action of physics, chemistry, and biology. During operation, the infiltration layer traps suspended solids and other impurities in the water. Over time, these impurities may accumulate in the infiltration layer, causing the filter material channels to clog and reducing filtration efficiency.
[0003] An aeration device is usually installed at the bottom of the infiltration tank. During aeration, gas bubbles can loosen and carry away some of the impurities attached to the filter material during their upward movement, to some extent alleviating the problem of infiltration layer clogging. However, due to the small diameter of the aeration holes, the output air pressure is low, and the amount of gas is limited, resulting in poor cleaning effect and failing to meet the cleaning requirements.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 A kind of aeration backwashing device for reducing artificial wetland infiltration pool blockage, including orifice plate 11, aeration main pipe 22, aeration branch pipe 25, first backwashing main pipe 32, first backwashing branch pipe 33, second backwashing main pipe 42, second backwashing branch pipe 43, orifice plate 11 is uniformly distributed with water pass hole, and orifice plate 11 is fixedly installed in the bottom of infiltration pool 1 by support;
[0031] Referring to Figure 2The percolation tank 1 is divided into two layers by the orifice plate 11, the upper layer is the percolation layer 14, and the lower layer is the drainage layer 13. The drainage layer 13 is not filled, so that the filtered water can be conveniently collected and discharged. The second backwashing main pipe 42 is installed at the drainage layer 13. The second backwashing main pipe 42 is uniformly provided with a plurality of second backwashing branch pipes 43. The second backwashing branch pipes 43 are uniformly provided with drainage holes. The second backwashing main pipe 42 is connected with an external water supply device through the water supply pipe 4. In order to conveniently control the water supply, the third valve 41 is installed on the water supply pipe 4. The drainage pipe 9 is installed at the drainage layer 13, and is used to discharge the water treated by the percolation tank 1. The drainage valve 91 is installed on the drainage pipe 9.
[0032] The percolation layer 14 is sequentially divided into the gravel layer 15, the filter layer 16, and the installation layer 17 from top to bottom. The aeration main pipe 22, the aeration branch pipe 25, the first backwashing main pipe 32, and the first backwashing branch pipe 33 are arranged at the installation layer 17. The installation layer 17 is filled with gravel with a particle size of 50-70 mm. The large-particle-size gravel has large gaps between the particles. The large-particle-size gravel can support the filter layer 16 and facilitate the water and gas to pass through the installation layer 17 to clean the filter layer 16 during backwashing. The filter layer 16 is filled with gravel with a particle size of 20-50 mm. The gravel layers of the filter layer 16 are arranged in a gradient order of decreasing particle size from top to bottom, forming a gradient filter layer. This design allows the water to flow through the gravel layer with a large particle size first, and then gradually transition to the gravel layer with a small particle size. The large gravel can capture large suspended particles and sediments, and the small gravel can capture smaller particles. The layered filtration reduces the risk of clogging of a single-particle-size gravel layer and facilitates the subsequent backwashing to flush the particles and biofilm out of the gaps. The gravel layer 15 is filled with gravel with a particle size of 60-80 mm. The large-particle-size gravel can press the filter layer 16 to prevent the water from washing away the small-particle-size gravel of the filter layer 16. Aquatic plants are planted on the gravel layer 15, further improving the treatment effect of the percolation tank on sewage.
[0033] Referring to Figures 3-5 The aeration main pipe 22 is installed at the installation layer 17. The aeration main pipe 22 is uniformly provided with the aeration branch pipe 25. The aeration branch pipe 25 is uniformly provided with aeration holes. The aeration main pipe 22 is connected with an external gas supply device through the first gas supply pipe 2. In order to conveniently control the gas supply of the aeration main pipe 22, the first valve 21 is installed on the first gas supply pipe 2.
[0034] The first backwash main pipe 32 is installed below the aeration main pipe 22, and a plurality of first backwash branch pipes 33 corresponding to the aeration branch pipes 25 are uniformly arranged on the first backwash main pipe 32, and the first backwash branch pipes 33 are uniformly provided with air outlet holes, and the first backwash main pipe 32 is connected to the external air supply equipment through the second air supply pipe 3, and a second valve 31 is installed on the second air supply pipe 3 to facilitate the control of the air supply of the first backwash main pipe 32.
[0035] When the filtration layer 14 is blocked, the air backwash can use the disturbance of air to the filter material layer and the shear force formed by the mutual collision and friction of the filter material to strip the attachments on the surface of the filter material, and the water backwash can expand or slightly expand the filter layer, so that the sewage in the filter layer can be discharged with low water flushing intensity, and the remaining falling dirt in the filter layer can be removed. Therefore, when cleaning the blockage, air backwash is performed first, the drain valve 91 is closed, the second valve 31 is opened, and compressed air is supplied to the second air supply pipe 3, the compressed air enters the first backwash branch pipes 33 through the first backwash main pipe 32, and is discharged from the air outlet holes to form air bubbles. The air bubbles can disturb the filter layer 16 in the rising process, loosen and carry away the impurities attached to the filter material. After a period of operation, air and water backwash are performed simultaneously, the third valve 41 is opened to supply clean water to the water supply pipe 4, the clean water enters the second backwash branch pipes 43 through the second backwash main pipe 42, and is discharged from the water outlet holes. The water flow from bottom to top passes through the infiltration tank 1 to wash the filtration layer 14, and the sewage is flushed out of the filtration layer 14. With the rising of the liquid level in the infiltration tank 1, the sewage is finally discharged from the overflow port 12 to the drainage channel 8. When the attachments on the filter material are basically stripped, the second valve 31 is closed, and water backwash is performed alone to flush out the attachments stripped from the filter material, and the cleaning of the blockage is completed.
[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , the infiltration tank 1 is provided with a water inlet main pipe 5 at the top, a plurality of water inlet branch pipes 51 are uniformly arranged on one side of the water inlet main pipe 5, and the other side of the water inlet main pipe 5 is connected to the sewage pipe 6 through the sewage valve 61 and connected to the clean water pipe 7 through the clean water valve 71; the overflow port 12 is arranged on the side of the infiltration tank 1 opposite to the water inlet main pipe 5, and the overflow port 12 is connected to the drainage channel 8. In the area far away from the overflow port 12, the water flow is slow due to the small kinetic energy of the water flow and the action of gravity. In order to ensure that the sewage for cleaning the filtration layer 14 is discharged as soon as possible, the sewage valve 61 is closed when cleaning the blockage, and the sewage entering the infiltration tank 1 is stopped, and the clean water valve 71 is opened, so that the clean water enters the infiltration tank 1 from the water inlet branch pipes 51, drives the water body far away from the overflow port 12, and accelerates the flow to the overflow port 12.
[0037] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, due to the small diameter of the aeration holes, the aeration holes may be blocked after a long time of operation, resulting in an increase in the air pressure in the aeration main pipe 22 and the aeration branch pipe 25. In order to avoid the rupture of the aeration main pipe 22 and the aeration branch pipe 25 due to the excessively high air pressure, the aeration main pipe 22 is provided with an overflow pipe 23 communicating with the first backwashing main pipe 32, and the overflow pipe 23 is provided with an overflow valve 24. When the air pressure in the aeration main pipe 22 is excessively high, the overflow valve 24 is opened under the action of the air pressure, the gas enters the first backwashing main pipe 32 through the overflow pipe 23, and is discharged from the exhaust holes of the first backwashing branch pipe 33.
[0038] Further, when the thickness of the filter layer 16 is large, although the filtering effect can be improved, during the aeration backwashing, due to the large thickness, the distribution of the gas is affected, which easily leads to uneven aeration, and further affects the backwashing effect. Therefore, when the thickness of the filter layer 16 is large, the backwashing effect can be improved by multiple layers of aeration. For details, refer to Figure 6 The first aeration branch pipe 221 is located at the installation layer 17, and the second aeration branch pipe 222 is located at the middle position of the filter layer 16. Further, a layer of installation layer 17 can be additionally provided at the middle position of the filter layer 16, so that the second aeration branch pipe 222 is located in the installation layer 17, thereby providing support for the filter material of the filter layer 16, and facilitating the water and gas to pass through the installation layer 17 to clean the filter layer 16 during backwashing.
[0039] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 7 In order to improve the uniformity of the back aeration washing, the aeration branch pipe 25 can be designed as an F-shaped structure, the horizontal part of which is arranged at the installation layer 17, and the vertical part of which is inserted into the filter layer 16, thereby improving the uniformity of the back aeration washing of the filter layer 16.
[0040] Finally, it needs to be further explained that since the biofilm composed of microorganisms exists in the filter layer 16 of the constructed wetland, the biofilm contributes to water treatment. During water backwashing, if the impact force of the water flow is too strong, the biofilm may be scoured, and the microorganism living environment is disturbed. Therefore, during water backwashing, the strength of the water backwashing can be reduced, so that only clean water flow is continuously injected into the bottom of the infiltration tank 1, the water body in the infiltration tank 1 flows from bottom to top, the impurities washed by the back aeration washing are taken away from the filter layer 16 by the flow of the water body, and the disturbance to the biofilm is reduced.
[0041] Specific working process:
[0042] During normal operation, the sewage enters the infiltration tank 1 from the sewage pipe 6, and passes through the filter layer 14 from top to bottom, and is discharged from the drain pipe 9;
[0043] When the clogging is cleaned, the second valve 31 is opened to perform air backwashing on the filtration layer 14, and the air bubbles clean the filtration layer 14 from bottom to top. After a period of operation, the third valve 41 is opened to perform air and water backwashing on the filtration layer 14, and the water flow washes out the dirt in the filtration layer 14. Finally, the second valve 31 is closed to perform water backwashing, and the water flow washes out the dirt falling from the filter material, and the sewage is discharged to the drainage channel 8 through the overflow port 12.
[0044] Moreover, the air bubbles generated by air backwashing and the water flow generated by water backwashing pass through the aeration branch pipe 25 during the rising process, and the dirt attached to the aeration holes can be cleaned to ensure the normal operation of aeration.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the relationships, such as first and second, are only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term includes, includes or any other variant is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or equipment.
