To make the purpose, technical solution and effect of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "up, down, left, right," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model; in addition, the terms "installation," "connection," etc. should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a user-friendly small-scale sulfur autotrophic denitrification device, including a denitrification filter 1, hooks 3, baskets 4, and sulfur autotrophic packing material 5. The denitrification filter 1 is arranged from bottom to top as a water distribution zone 6, filter plate layer 7, support layer 8, filter media stacking layer 9, and operating layer 10. In this embodiment, the small-scale denitrification device can process 200-300 cubic meters of water per day. Wastewater first enters the water distribution zone 6 of the denitrification filter, where it undergoes preliminary distribution and pretreatment. The water distribution zone 6 ensures that the wastewater is evenly distributed throughout the filter, preparing it for subsequent filtration and denitrification processes. The wastewater then passes through the filter plate layer 7, which typically consists of multiple filter plates, to further remove large suspended solids and impurities from the wastewater. Subsequently, the wastewater enters the support layer 8, which provides necessary support to prevent the filter media from sinking and maintain the structural stability of the filter. The filter media stack 9 is filled with specialized sulfur autotrophic filler 5, which provides a suitable growth environment for denitrifying sulfur bacteria. When wastewater flows through the filter media stack 9, the denitrifying sulfur bacteria use the organic matter in the wastewater to reduce nitrates to nitrogen gas, thereby achieving significant denitrification.

[0044] The hook 3 is installed within the operating layer 10; the basket 4 includes a mesh box 21 and a hook 22 that cooperates with the hook 3. The hook 22 is located on the top of the mesh box 21, and the mesh box 21 is filled with the sulfur self-nourishing filler. The basket 4 is placed within the filter media stack 9. In this embodiment, there are multiple mesh boxes 21, which completely cover the filter media stack 9. The size and number of mesh boxes 21 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The hook 22 is movably installed on the top of the mesh box 21 and hangs down naturally when not in use.

[0045] In this embodiment, a water collection tank 11 and a centrifugal pump 25 are also included. The water collection tank 11 is connected to the water distribution zone 6 via the centrifugal pump 25. The close connection between the water collection tank 11 and the water distribution zone 6 ensures that wastewater flows into the denitrification filter 1 uniformly and continuously, effectively avoiding the problem of treatment effect affected by flow fluctuations and significantly improving the overall treatment efficiency and stability of the system. To further optimize performance, the water collection tank 11 is also equipped with a level sensor 12 or a float level gauge 13, achieving signal connection. For example, by monitoring the water level changes in the water collection tank 11 in real time, the control system can ensure that the water level is always maintained within a suitable range, preventing the risk of overflow due to excessively high water levels and avoiding the adverse effects of excessively low water levels on equipment operation.

[0046] In addition, an overflow pipe 14 is provided on the top of the water collection tank 11. As a safety device, it can automatically discharge excess water when the water level exceeds a predetermined height, effectively preventing the water collection tank 11 from overflowing due to unexpected situations, thereby ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0047] To maintain the filtration performance of the filter bed, the equipment is also equipped with a backwash water tank 15 and a backwash outlet pipe 16. By periodically backwashing the filter bed with clean water from the backwash water tank 15, dirt and impurities on the surface of the filter media can be efficiently removed, extending the service life of the filter media and maintaining the efficient operation of the equipment. In this embodiment, a backwash water pump 26 is also included. The backwash water tank 15 is connected to the bottom of the denitrification filter bed 1 through the backwash water pump 26. During the backwashing stage, clean water from the backwash water tank 15 is pumped to the filter media stack layer 9 where the sulfur autotrophic packing is located, thereby cleaning the sulfur autotrophic packing.

[0048] To improve cleaning efficiency, the denitrification equipment is also equipped with a blower 18 and a backwash air pipe 19. The blower 18 delivers air into the denitrification filter tank 1 through the backwash air pipe 19, which is positioned below the filter plate layer 7 and blows air towards the filter plate layer, ensuring that the air can loosen the sulfur autotrophic filter media and allow pollutants to detach from the media. Specifically, the blower 18 is a Roots blower. When cleaning the sulfur autotrophic packing, the blower and backwash air pipe utilize airflow to clean the attached sludge. They are used alternately with the backwash water tank and backwash outlet pipe, allowing for flexible setting of the start and stop times for both cleaning methods, effectively cleaning the deposits on the sulfur autotrophic packing.

[0049] Preferably, the backwash tank 15 is also equipped with the float level gauge 13 for monitoring water level changes within the backwash tank 15. Specifically, regarding equipment maintenance, both the backwash tank 15 and the denitrification filter 1 are equipped with maintenance ladders 17 on their side walls, providing operators with a safe and convenient access path, facilitating timely detection and resolution of problems, preventing greater losses, improving the safety of the working environment, and reducing maintenance costs. In another feasible embodiment, the backwash tank 15 and the backwash outlet pipe 16 can be combined with a pulse-type water washing device to clean the filter plate layer 7 and the filter media stack layer 9, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0050] Optionally, the system also includes a mounting bracket 20, on which the hook 3 is provided, allowing operators to easily adjust the position of the basket 4 according to actual needs to adapt to different working scenarios. This further improves the convenience of replacing the sulfur self-nourishing filler 5, saves time and effort, increases work efficiency, and reduces the possibility of errors.

[0051] Optionally, the denitrification filter 1 is also equipped with an overflow port 23 and a floating debris removal device 24. The overflow port 23 is located above the liquid surface of the denitrification filter 1, and the floating debris removal device 24 is located on the liquid surface. The floating debris removal device 24 includes a scraper and a drive motor for driving the scraper to swing on the liquid surface to clean the floating debris peeled off from the backwash packing. The scraper has a telescopic structure, which can effectively move the floating debris on the liquid surface when fully extended. In addition, the centrifugal pump 25 connected to the denitrification filter reverses during the cleaning stage to suck up the sediment that has settled at the bottom of the denitrification filter 1 after the preliminary treatment of the wastewater.

[0052] It also includes a dosing tank 27, a stirring device, and a metering pump. The stirring device is installed in the dosing tank to accelerate the dissolution of the drug in the tank. The dosing tank 27 is also connected to the denitrification filter 1 via the metering pump to quantitatively add the dissolved drug to the denitrification filter 1. Specifically, the flow rate of the metering pump is 150 L / h.

[0053] In this embodiment, the metering pump, stirring device, backwash water pump 26, blower 18, centrifugal pump 25, and liquid level sensor 12 are all connected to the intelligent control device to realize intelligent control.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hook 3 can be scaled by a hand-cranked wheel to adjust the height of the hook.

[0055] In summary, this utility model's user-friendly small-scale sulfur autotrophic denitrification device features hooks 3 within the operating layer 10. These hooks 3 engage with hooks 22 on the basket 4, allowing operators to easily move the basket 4 to a designated position or remove it entirely. This simplifies the placement and replacement of the sulfur autotrophic packing 5 within the mesh box 21, facilitating its removal from the filter for cleaning or replacement. The simplified operation and reduced manual intervention lower safety risks during operation, contributing to equipment cleanliness, extended service life, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the denitrification process. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial applicability.

[0056] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
