Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a device for treating aquaculture wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aquaculture, as an important agricultural industry, provides abundant aquatic products for human beings. However, with the continuous expansion of the aquaculture scale and the increase of the aquaculture density, while meeting the market demand, a series of problems and challenges in wastewater treatment have also been caused. With the continuous development of the aquaculture industry and the increasingly stringent wastewater discharge standards, the treatment of aquaculture wastewater has become one of the focuses of the industry.

[0003] Aquaculture wastewater needs to be treated by a treatment technology to reduce the content of harmful substances in the wastewater to meet the discharge standards. Common wastewater treatment technologies include biological treatment, physical and chemical treatment, etc. Biological treatment technologies mainly include biological filter, activated sludge method, anaerobic digestion, etc., which convert organic matter into harmless substances through the degradation of microorganisms; physical and chemical treatment technologies include filtration, air flotation, etc., which can effectively remove suspended solids and part of the dissolved substances in the wastewater. In addition, for the problem of high total nitrogen in aquaculture wastewater, the denitrification process is a key link in the treatment.

[0004] As a commonly used denitrification method, heterotrophic denitrification indeed has some problems in practical application. First, the treatment cost is high because of the high nitrate concentration in aquaculture wastewater, and a large amount of external carbon source needs to be added to promote the denitrification process, thereby increasing the treatment cost. Second, a large amount of sludge is generated in the heterotrophic denitrification process, which needs to be additionally treated and disposed, further increasing the operation cost and equipment maintenance cost. In addition, long-term addition of a large amount of external carbon source may also affect the long-term operation stability of the wastewater treatment system and increase the operation risk.

[0005] In addition, with the increasing global attention to carbon emissions, the practice of adding a large amount of external carbon source is also not conducive to the carbon emission management of future wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, the field of aquaculture wastewater treatment urgently needs a new low-cost treatment process to simultaneously solve the problems of treatment cost, effluent standard and carbon emission management, etc. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature rather than limiting.

[0027] As Figure 1As shown, the application provides a device for treating aquaculture wastewater, which comprises a water conditioning tank 1, a front denitrification reactor 2, a water clarification tank 3, a high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 and a water disinfection tank 5 connected in sequence.

[0028] The front denitrification reactor 2 is an upflow heterotrophic denitrification reactor; and the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is an autotrophic denitrification denitrification filter.

[0029] Traditional water treatment is treated by a single heterotrophic microbial system, and the digestion of carbon source is too high, which often needs additional input of carbon source, and the sludge amount generated is high, and the sludge needs to be cleaned, which all increases the additional water treatment cost.

[0030] The application uses the front denitrification reactor 2 and the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 in combination, wherein the front denitrification reactor 2 uses the carbon source in the incoming water to carry out the denitrification reaction NO3 - → NO2 - → NO → N2O → N2, and the heterotrophic denitrification is used to complete the simultaneous removal of nitrate and organic matter.

[0031] In one embodiment, the front denitrification reactor 2 is upflow type.

[0032] In one embodiment, the front denitrification reactor 2 is filled with denitrification sludge; and the volume of the denitrification sludge is 10%-40% of the volume of the front denitrification reactor 2. The volume of the denitrification sludge can be set according to the concentration of nitrate in the source of aquaculture wastewater. The residence time of wastewater in the front denitrification reactor 2 is designed according to the concentration of nitrate, but is generally not more than 12h.

[0033] The wastewater enters the bottom of the upflow front denitrification reactor 2, and the suspended solids, organic matter and nitrate nitrogen in the water are removed and decomposed by the denitrification sludge. The upflow front denitrification reactor 2 of the application replaces the original air flotation, and does not need to add the original coagulation and flocculation reagent. The coagulation and flocculation reagent used in the traditional process is cancelled, the amount of reagent added and the power consumption are reduced, and the investment in the equipment of air flotation is reduced. Moreover, the upflow front denitrification reactor 2 has good impact resistance, reduces the water fluctuation by 73%, intercepts the fish manure, feed and the like in the raw water, and the average removal rate of suspended solids is 82.6%. The fish manure, feed and the like after interception are fermented by the upflow front denitrification reactor 2, the soluble COD content is increased, the utilization efficiency of the in-situ carbon source of aquaculture wastewater is improved, and the discharge amount of biochemical sludge is reduced.

[0034] The wastewater treated by the pre-denitrification reactor 2 is treated again by the high-efficiency denitrification filter. The pre-denitrification reactor 2 is an upflow type, and thus the water is discharged from the upper part. The water is treated by the water clarifying tank 3 before entering the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4. The high-speed clarifying tank 3 removes part of the denitrification sludge carried out due to the denitrification gas production, avoids the loss of the denitrification sludge, and avoids the denitrification sludge entering the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 and mixing with the autotrophic denitrification system to cover the filler and affect the autotrophic denitrification treatment process.

[0035] In an embodiment, the water clarifying tank 3 of the present application is provided with a tilting plate 7. The tilting plate 7 can assist in achieving efficient removal of suspended solids.

[0036] Therefore, the wastewater treated by the water clarifying tank 3 enters the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 for autotrophic denitrification treatment. In an embodiment, the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 of the present application is provided with high-efficiency denitrification filler 8, which is autotrophic denitrification filler. The composition of the autotrophic denitrification filler is sulfur, iron, and auxiliary materials. Autotrophic denitrification desulfurization bacteria grow on the autotrophic denitrification filler.

[0037] The autotrophic denitrification desulfurization bacteria reduce the reduced sulfur compounds (such as S 0 , S 2- , S2O3 2- ) as electron donors, and nitrate or nitrite as electron acceptors, to nitrogen.

[0039]

[0040] (2) Using sulfide as an electron donor

[0041]

[0042] (3) Using reduced sulfur-containing compounds as an electron donor

[0043]

[0044] The total nitrogen removal load of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 can reach 1 kgTN / m 3 -2kgTN / m 3 , and the total nitrogen concentration of the effluent of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 can be reduced to below 3 mg / L. In the case of an influent TN concentration of 100 mg / L and an effluent TN requirement of less than 5 mg / L, the average denitrification load of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is 1.86 kgTN / m 3 , which is 20% higher than the heterotrophic denitrification load.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 adopts the top-in and bottom-out form, and the water from the water clarifying tank 3 enters the top of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4.

[0046] In one embodiment, the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is provided with an alkalinity feeding device 9 between the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 and the water clarifying tank 3. The optimal pH for the high-efficiency denitrification filter material 8 of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 and the autotrophic denitrification desulfurization bacteria working therein is about 7-8, and thus the pH is adjusted by the alkalinity feeding device 9 provided before the water enters the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4.

[0047] In one embodiment, the alkalinity feeding device 9 is composed of a sodium bicarbonate liquid storage tank, a diaphragm pump and a PLC control unit.

[0048] In one embodiment, the sodium bicarbonate liquid storage tank is connected to the water inlet pipeline of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 through the diaphragm pump.

[0049] The diaphragm pump links the sodium bicarbonate liquid storage tank, and the diaphragm pump is controlled by the PLC unit. When the pH value of the water inlet is less than 7 and the pH value of the water outlet is less than 6, the PLC controls the diaphragm pump of the alkalinity feeding device 9 to automatically start, and sodium bicarbonate is added to the water inlet of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 to ensure the alkalinity required by the autotrophic denitrification.

[0050] In one embodiment, the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate concentrated solution in the storage tank is 30%.

[0051] Therefore, in one embodiment, the alkalinity feeding device 9 is further provided with a first pH probe 10 between the alkalinity feeding device 9 and the water clarifying tank 3, and the first pH probe 10 detects the pH value of the water inlet of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4.

[0052] In one embodiment, a second pH probe 11 is provided after the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4, and the second pH probe 11 detects the pH value of the water outlet of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4.

[0053] The PLC control unit is electrically connected with the first pH probe 10 and the second pH probe 11 respectively; the first pH probe 10 and the second pH probe 11 detect the pH of the water inlet and the water outlet respectively, and the PLC control unit controls the opening and closing of the diaphragm pump to control the addition of sodium bicarbonate in the sodium bicarbonate liquid storage tank according to the pH value; and the pH of the water inlet of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is controlled to be between 7.0-8.0.

[0054] In one embodiment, the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is two or more in parallel. The parallel use of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 can increase the processing capacity.

[0055] The content of nitrate in the water treated by the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is already lower than 3 mg / L, and the effluent is subjected to disinfection by adding sodium hypochlorite in the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5. The effluent is disinfected by adding sodium hypochlorite in the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5 to meet the standard of coliform bacteria discharge, and the residual ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater is removed by the breakpoint chlorination method, so that the total nitrogen in the effluent is further reduced to less than 3 mg / L.

[0056] The effluent of the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5 is partially discharged and partially reused as aquaculture water. Through the treatment of the system, the reuse rate of aquaculture water can be increased by 23.33%, from 75% to 92.5%.

[0057] In an embodiment, a clear water tank 6 is further arranged between the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 and the water disinfection tank 5. The clear water tank 6 can store the purified water and meet the contact time of chlorine and water in the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5.

[0058] Because the feed and temperature required for the growth cycle of aquaculture, the pollutant concentration and difference of the effluent of each workshop are obvious, a water conditioning tank 1 is arranged before the pre-denitrification reactor 2. The effluent of the production workshop is first subjected to the water conditioning tank 1 before entering the pre-denitrification reactor 2. Through the water conditioning tank 1, the aquaculture wastewater in different growth environments in different aquaculture workshops is fully mixed to realize the homogenization of concentration and temperature. The volume of the water conditioning tank 1 is designed according to the treated water quantity and the layout of the aquaculture workshop.

[0059] The residence time of the wastewater in the water conditioning tank 1 is 0.5-8 h, and it is not less than 0.5 h. Then the effluent of the water conditioning tank 1 enters the bottom of the upflow pre-denitrification reactor 2.

[0060] The process of treating wastewater by the aquaculture wastewater treatment device is as follows:

[0061] The effluent of the production workshop is first subjected to the water conditioning tank 1; through the water conditioning tank 1, the aquaculture wastewater in different growth environments in different aquaculture workshops is fully mixed and homogenized; the hydraulic retention time is usually 0.5-8 h. The effluent of the water conditioning tank 1 enters the bottom of the upflow pre-denitrification reactor 2, and the suspended solids, organic matter and nitrate nitrogen in the water are removed and decomposed by the denitrification sludge. The upflow pre-denitrification reactor 2 discharges water from the upper part, and the effluent is sent to the high-speed water clarifier 3 through a pipeline; the high-speed water clarifier 3 removes part of the denitrification sludge carried out by the denitrification gas; the effluent of the high-speed water clarifier 3 is sent to the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 through a pipeline. The filter inlet water contains a pH probe 10 and an alkalinity feeding device 9, and the pH of the inlet water of the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is controlled to be between 7.0-8.0 by controlling the addition of alkalinity. The high-efficiency denitrification filter 4 is in the form of upflow and downflow; in the high-efficiency denitrification filter 4, the average total nitrogen removal rate is 75%, and the total nitrogen removal load range is 1 kgTN / m 3 -2 kgTN / m 3The nitrate content of the effluent is less than 3 mg / L, and the effluent enters the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5 after passing through the clean water tank 6. In the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5, the effluent is disinfected by adding sodium hypochlorite to meet the standard of coliform bacteria discharge, and the residual ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater is removed by referring to the breakpoint chlorination method, so that the total nitrogen of the effluent is further reduced to less than 3 mg / L. The effluent of the chlorinated water disinfection tank 5 is partially discharged and partially reused as aquaculture water. Through the device system, the aquaculture water reuse rate can be increased by 23.33%, from 75% to 92.5%; the total nitrogen content in the wastewater changes as shown in Figure 2
