Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology and relates to a wastewater treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] In fermentation wastewater treatment systems primarily producing soybean protein wastewater, the nitrogen and phosphorus content is high. Currently, chemical precipitation methods are commonly used, especially by adding alkalis and magnesium salts to adjust the pH and provide necessary metal ions (such as Mg). 2+ This process promotes the reaction of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants with other components to form struvite particles, thereby removing pollutants from wastewater through solid-liquid separation.

[0003] However, existing chemical precipitation wastewater treatment technologies have certain limitations in particle generation and size control. Due to limitations in reaction conditions and mixing efficiency, the generated particles are often of uneven size, resulting in low separation efficiency. Furthermore, the small particle size hinders resource recovery and reuse, and there is also a risk of particle loss. In addition, excessive use of chemical reagents increases costs and may impose an environmental burden, while insufficient precision in automated control also affects the overall efficiency of the system.

[0004] To address these issues, a more efficient and precise wastewater treatment system is needed, capable of precise particle control, reduced chemical reagent consumption, and increased automation. The system must optimize particle recirculation and separation processes to minimize particle loss, and employ a more intelligent control system to reduce operational complexity and energy consumption, thereby improving treatment efficiency and economics.

[0059] like Figure 1According to one embodiment of the wastewater treatment system of this utility model, it includes an inlet unit, a reactor 8, a separation unit, and a circulation unit. These modules are connected sequentially according to the process flow to form a closed-loop system. The inlet unit is also connected to a dosing unit. The inlet unit is used to transport wastewater to the reactor 8, and the dosing unit is used to add alkali to the wastewater to adjust the pH value and provide the required magnesium ions. The reactor 8 is provided with a fluidized reaction zone and a separation zone. The fluidized reaction zone promotes the generation and growth of struvite particles through particle collision and aggregation. The separation zone returns some of the generated particles to the fluidized reaction zone for further reaction through preliminary solid-liquid separation. The separation unit is used to receive the wastewater from the separation zone, further remove residual particles, and return the small particles to the reactor 8 for reuse through the circulation unit.

[0060] This embodiment achieves efficient removal and resource utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants by optimizing the wastewater treatment process. The system utilizes the fluidization reaction of particles to promote the formation and growth of struvite, and reduces particle loss through a circulation mechanism, thereby improving resource utilization. This design significantly improves wastewater treatment efficiency and reduces operating costs, making it particularly suitable for the efficient treatment of wastewater with high pollution loads.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the dosing unit includes an alkali dosing device 4 and a magnesium salt dosing device 5, both located on the inlet pipe 3 of the water inlet unit. The circulation unit includes a circulation pipe 24, on which a pH measuring device is installed. Specifically, the pH measuring device includes a pH measuring tube 22, connected to the circulation pipe 24, for guiding part of the circulating liquid; a pH measuring probe 21, installed inside the pH measuring tube 22, for detecting the pH value of the circulating liquid; a signal processing module, connected to the pH measuring probe 21, for receiving and processing the pH detection signal; and a control module, connected to the alkali dosing device 4, for adjusting the alkali dosage according to the processed signal. The alkali dosing device 4 automatically adjusts the alkali addition rate and dosage according to the control signal from the pH measuring device, so that the pH value in the reactor 8 is always maintained within the optimal range (≥9) for struvite formation, thereby optimizing the particle formation conditions.

[0062] This embodiment significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of wastewater treatment by combining a dosing unit with a pH measuring device. Real-time monitoring of the circulating water's pH value and dynamic adjustment of the alkali and magnesium salt dosages ensure that reaction conditions are always within the optimal range for struvite formation (pH ≥ 9). This optimized design reduces excessive reagent use, lowers operating costs, and improves the efficiency and quality of struvite particle formation. Furthermore, the automated dosing control system greatly reduces the impact of human intervention on reaction stability, making the entire wastewater treatment process more efficient and controllable, and further enhancing the system's economic and environmental benefits.

[0063] More preferably, the circulation pipe 24 is equipped with a circulation pump 23 and a circulation flow meter 25. The flow rate setpoint of the circulation flow meter 25 is linked with the PID control of the circulation pump 23 to adjust the circulation flow rate and provide a stable upward flow rate for the reactor 8. The inlet pipe 3 is equipped with an inlet pump 1 and an inlet flow meter 2. The flow rate setpoint of the inlet flow meter 2 is linked with the PID control of the inlet pump 1 to adjust the inlet flow rate and ensure a stable flow rate.

[0064] In this embodiment, by introducing a flow control scheme, the precise adjustment of the flow rates of the circulation pipe 24 and the inlet pipe 3 is incorporated into the automated control system, achieving efficient operation and resource optimization in wastewater treatment. The inlet pipe 3 and the circulation pipe 24 are respectively equipped with a flow meter and a variable frequency pump. The flow meter monitors flow changes in real time, and the pump's operating frequency is dynamically adjusted through a PID linkage control system to ensure optimal matching between the inlet flow rate and the circulation flow rate. The optimization of the circulation flow rate not only maintains stable fluidization conditions within the reactor 8 but also effectively reduces the dosage of alkaline reagents by utilizing the high-pH circulating liquid reflux, while the stable inlet flow rate ensures the balance of the reactor 8's treatment capacity. This scheme has significant effects in reducing reagent consumption, improving particle generation efficiency, and enhancing system stability, further reducing the operating costs and complexity of the wastewater treatment process.

[0065] According to this embodiment, a liquid mixer is provided at the connection between the circulation pipe 24 and the water inlet pipe 3, or as follows: Figure 4 The outlet end of the circulation pipe 24 is inserted obliquely into the center of the inlet pipe 3. This allows the circulating water and the inlet water to mix thoroughly, avoiding the phenomenon that the inlet water only goes to some branch pipes, which would lead to uneven nutrition and uneven reaction in the fluidized bed 9.

[0066] In another preferred embodiment, in conjunction with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The reactor 8 is equipped with an air distribution device 30 at the bottom. The air distribution device 30 includes a main air distribution pipe 301 and several branch air distribution pipes 302, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the reactor 8. Airflow is provided by a blower 29 to remove dissolved CO2 from the wastewater and enhance hybrid power. In this scheme, the air distribution device 30 provides airflow through the evenly distributed branch air distribution pipes 302, which not only removes dissolved CO2 from the wastewater and increases the pH value, reducing the use of alkaline reagents, but also enhances the hybrid power within the reactor and prevents particulate sedimentation.

[0067] According to this embodiment, in conjunction with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3The inlet unit is also equipped with a water distribution pipeline 6, which includes a main water distribution pipe 601 and several branch water distribution pipes 602. The main water distribution pipe 601 is connected to the outlet end of the inlet pipe 3. The branch water distribution pipes 602 are evenly distributed across the cross-section of the reactor 8 to uniformly supply wastewater into the reactor 8. In this design, the water flow from the branch water distribution pipes 602 impacts the bottom of the reactor 8 downwards, preventing particle deposition and enhancing the fluidization effect. The uniform water supply to the reactor 8 through the evenly distributed branch water distribution pipes 602 ensures sufficient contact and reaction between the wastewater and the particles. At the same time, the gas-liquid synergy further optimizes the fluidization conditions, promotes the growth and suspension of struvite particles, improves the particle generation efficiency and quality, and effectively reduces resource waste, significantly improving the overall efficiency and economy of wastewater treatment.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5-7 The separation zone is equipped with a separation module 10, which includes multiple components that work together to perform solid-liquid separation: the inlet channel 101 and the inlet hole 102 are used to introduce the wastewater mixture into the separation module 10; the inclined plate 109 is used for solid-liquid separation, and the separated particles enter the collection tank 107 through the mud plate 106 and the collection hole 108; the collection tank 107 is equipped with a slope, and with the help of the slope, the particles are guided back to the fluidization reaction zone to continue to participate in the reaction; the outlet branch tank 103 and the outlet main tank 104 are used to receive the purified wastewater, which enters the outlet main tank 105 through a drop method, and is finally discharged from the reactor 8 through the first outlet pipe 12.

[0069] In this embodiment, the separation module 10 achieves efficient solid-liquid separation of particles in wastewater. The inclined plate structure increases the particle settling area, and the sliding plate 106 guides the deposited particles into the collection tank 107, enabling rapid recovery and recycling. At the same time, the purified wastewater is discharged through the effluent tank 105, with a significantly reduced particle content, meeting discharge requirements.

[0070] In another specific embodiment, the outlet of the separation module 10 is connected to the separation unit via a first outlet pipe 12, and the fluidized reaction zone is connected to the separation unit via a second outlet pipe 13. The separation unit includes an inclined screen separation device 15 and a collection tank 19. The inclined screen separation device 15 is connected to the first outlet pipe 12 and is used to receive the wastewater after preliminary separation for further purification. The inclined screen separation device 15 is connected to the second outlet pipe 13 and is used to receive the reaction mixture, filter and recover the target particles. The target particles separated by the inclined screen separation device 15 are sprayed into the collection pipe 16 by the spray pipe 32 and finally enter the collection tank 19. The collection tank 19 is connected to an external system via a discharge pipe 26. A discharge valve 28 is provided on the discharge pipe 26. The opening degree of the discharge valve 28 is automatically controlled by a level gauge 31. The level gauge 31 automatically adjusts the opening degree of the discharge valve 28 based on the level change in the collection tank 19, thereby realizing the resource recycling of the struvite particles.

[0071] According to this embodiment, the circulation unit also includes a circulation tank 20, which receives wastewater separated by the inclined screen separation device 15 through a clean water pipe 17; a collection tank 19 is provided with a drain pipe 33, which is a small-diameter pipe that can automatically drain water; an overflow pipe 27 is provided between the collection tank 19 and the circulation tank 20, so that when the water volume is too large, the sewage flows into the circulation tank 20 through the overflow pipe 27, preventing the sewage from overflowing to the ground and polluting the environment; the clean water outlet of the circulation tank 20 is connected to the main water outlet pipe 18, and the sewage outlet is connected to the circulation pipe 24 for return to the reactor 8.

[0072] In another preferred embodiment, the reactor 8 is also equipped with a sampling device 7, which is used to collect the mixed liquid at different heights in the reactor 8 for particle morphology observation and analysis. When it is observed that the particles meet the emission standards, the sampling device 7 controls the second outlet pipe 13 through the switch valve 14 to discharge the mixed liquid rich in target particles.

[0073] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the operating principle of the aforementioned wastewater treatment system is provided, including the following steps:

[0074] The nitrogen and phosphorus-rich wastewater is pumped to reactor 8 through inlet pump 1 and evenly distributed in reactor 8 through water distribution pipeline 6. The inlet flow rate is monitored and adjusted in real time by inlet flow meter 2.

[0075] The pH value in reactor 8 is controlled above 9 by using alkali dosing device 4, and magnesium salt dosing device 5 provides the required magnesium ions for the reaction to promote the formation of struvite particles.

[0076] Within reactor 8, particles are mixed and collided in fluidized bed 9 to form target particles. Simultaneously, solid-liquid separation is performed in separation module 10. The separated struvite particles are returned to fluidized bed 9. The purified wastewater enters inclined screen separation device 15 through first outlet pipe 12. Small particles that do not form target particles enter circulation tank 20 through clean water pipe 17 and are sent back to reactor 8 through circulation pump 23 and circulation pipe 24. Circulation flow meter 25 is used to monitor circulation flow in real time.

[0077] The sampling device 7 is used to observe the struvite mixture at different heights in the reactor 8 to observe the size and shape of the struvite particles. When the particles meet the discharge requirements, the switch valve 14 on the second outlet pipe 13 is opened to discharge the mixture rich in struvite particles. Under the action of the inclined screen separation device 15, large struvite particles enter the collection tank 19 through the collection pipe 16 and are discharged through the discharge pipe 26 for recycling.

[0078] Excess water in the collection tank 19 is discharged through the overflow pipe 27 into the circulation tank 20 and then pumped back to the reactor 8, thus preventing sewage from overflowing onto the ground and polluting the environment. It should be noted that the drain pipe 33 of the collection tank 19 is a small-diameter pipe that can automatically discharge the water in the tank. Only when the water volume is too large will it overflow into the circulation tank 20 through the overflow pipe 27.

[0079] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
