Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a wastewater treatment bioreactor. Background Technology
[0002] Wastewater treatment bioreactors are devices that utilize the metabolic activity of microorganisms to convert organic pollutants in wastewater into harmless substances, thereby achieving wastewater purification. They are generally classified into anaerobic bioreactors, aerated bioreactors, and biofilm reactors. Biofilm reactors utilize microorganisms attaching to the surface of packing materials to form a biofilm structure. The packing materials provide a carrier for the microorganisms to grow, metabolize, and decompose organic pollutants in the water. When wastewater flows through the biofilm, the organic pollutants are adsorbed and decomposed by the microorganisms in the biofilm, thus purifying the wastewater. Anaerobic bioreactors utilize anaerobic microorganisms to decompose organic matter into biogas, water, and other harmless substances under anaerobic conditions. Aerated bioreactors integrate biological oxidation and suspended solids retention. By filling a filter bed with a certain amount of filter media, microorganisms attach and grow on the surface of the filter media to form a biofilm. Wastewater flows through the filter bed from top to bottom or bottom to top. Under the retention effect of the filter media and the decomposition effect of the biofilm, organic pollutants and ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater are removed. Simultaneously, aeration provides the dissolved oxygen needed by the microorganisms, promoting their metabolic activity.
[0003] A bioreactor and wastewater treatment system disclosed in Chinese Patent CN215886527U divides the reactor body into a top aerobic zone and a bottom anaerobic zone. Multiple guide tubes are distributed in the top aerobic zone. Sludge is introduced into the guide tubes from the bottom inlet using aerators below and exited from the top outlet, forming an internal circulation within the top aerobic zone. An external circulation pipeline circulates granular sludge from the bottom anaerobic zone to the top aerobic zone, forming an external circulation. Through reactor structure optimization, a reactor type suitable for aerobic granular sludge is provided, enabling continuous wastewater treatment with aerobic granular sludge, achieving the effect of intermittent wastewater treatment, and fully utilizing the high-efficiency treatment capacity of granular sludge.
[0004] However, compared with existing technologies and comparative solutions, it can be seen that this bioreactor still has the following problems in actual use:
[0005] In the process of treating wastewater, the sludge in the wastewater undergoes anaerobic reaction in the anaerobic zone at the bottom of the bioreactor, which produces biogas. The biogas bubbles produced rise and are discharged together with the bubbles produced by aeration. On the one hand, this causes energy waste, and on the other hand, the direct mixing of biogas with the aeration gas causes environmental pollution. Furthermore, since biogas is a flammable and explosive gas, its discharge along with the aeration gas poses certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0038] The work process is as follows:
[0039] S1. When in use, the wastewater to be treated is added into the outer shell 1 through the inlet pipe 104. The sludge in the wastewater falls below the gas collection component 4 in the outer shell 1 due to gravity and is first treated by anaerobic reaction.
[0040] S2. The biogas bubbles produced by the anaerobic reaction rise due to buoyancy and are blocked and collected by the first gas collection frame 401 and the second gas collection frame 404. The biogas in the first gas collection frame 401 enters the second gas collection frame 404 through the through hole 403 along the first gas delivery pipe 402. The biogas in the second gas collection frame 404 is discharged from the third gas delivery pipe 406 along the second gas delivery pipe 405.
[0041] S3. Adjust the two-way regulating valve 602 to connect the circulation pipe 604 and the output end of the sludge pump 5. Start the sludge pump 5. The sludge pump 5 draws out sludge from the bottom of the outer shell 1 through the second connecting pipe 105. The sludge enters the outer shell 1 from the first connecting pipe 102 through the sludge pump 5, the three-way connector 601 and the circulation pipe 604.
[0042] S4. Compressed air enters the air distribution pipe 302 from the air inlet pipe 301, and then enters the aeration reaction zone above the air collection component 4 in the outer shell 1 from the aeration head 303 to carry out aeration reaction treatment on the sludge and sewage in the aeration reaction zone. The gas generated by the aeration treatment is discharged from the air outlet pipe 101.
[0043] S5. At the same time, the drive unit 201 is started. The drive unit 201 drives the driven gear 203 through the drive gear 202. The driven gear 203 drives the stirring rod 206 to rotate through the connecting shaft 205. This stirs the sewage and sludge in the aeration reaction zone above the gas collection component 4 in the outer shell 1, improves the mixing effect of sewage and aeration bubbles, and thus improves the aeration treatment effect.
[0044] S6. The biogas produced by the anaerobic reaction and the gas produced by the aeration treatment can be discharged separately. The biogas can be collected for subsequent use, avoiding the safety hazards caused by biogas being discharged together with the aeration gas, and also avoiding pollution caused by direct discharge of biogas.
[0045] S7. Untreated sludge slides back into the anaerobic reaction zone below the gas collection assembly 4 due to gravity from the gap between the second gas collection frame 404 and the first gas collection frame 401. The treated wastewater is discharged from the outlet pipe 103.
[0046] S8. When it is necessary to clean up the sludge that has not been completely treated, adjust the two-way regulating valve 602 to connect the sewage pipe 603 and the output end of the sludge pump 5. Start the sludge pump 5 to discharge the sludge at the bottom of the casing 1 from the sewage pipe 603.
[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
