[0036] In this embodiment, the wastewater inlet is connected to three partitioned tanks in the UNITANK via an electric inlet valve 14: the first side tank 10, the second side tank 12, and the middle tank 11, which share a portion of the wall. Each of the three tanks is equipped with a stirring device 13 and an aeration device 15. These tanks constitute the main system for removing pollutants. The middle tank 11 is connected to the anaerobic side-flow reactor 21 via a sludge inlet pipe. The sludge outlet pipe of the anaerobic side-flow reactor 21 is connected to the first side tank 10 and the second side tank 12. The functions of the biological treatment tank and the sedimentation tank are integrated into one. The middle tank 11 is used as an aeration tank and a transition tank, while the side tanks serve as both biological treatment tanks and sedimentation tanks. The main system, constructed by the UNITANK process device, is used to remove pollutants. The bypass system, consisting of the middle tank 11, the anaerobic side-flow reactor 21, the first side tank 10, and the second side tank 12, is used for sludge source reduction.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the UNITANK-ASSR combined wastewater sludge reduction device in this embodiment includes an anaerobic side-flow reactor 21, a first side tank 10, a second side tank 12, a central tank 11, and a PLC (not shown).

[0038] The first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 share the pool wall with the middle pool 11. The first side pool 10, the second side pool 12 and the middle pool 11 are all equipped with sewage inlet pipes. The first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 are connected to the middle pool 11, forming a UNITANK process structure as a whole.

[0039] A stirring device 13 and an aeration device 15 are installed in the first side pool 10, the second side pool 12 and the middle pool 11;

[0040] The anaerobic side-flow reactor 21 has a sludge inlet pipe and a sludge outlet pipe; the middle tank 11 is connected to the sludge inlet pipe, and the first side tank 10 and the second side tank 12 are both connected to the sludge outlet pipe.

[0041] An electric inlet valve 14 is installed on the sewage inlet pipe.

[0042] The sludge inlet pipeline includes a sludge inlet pump 20 and a sludge inlet pipe; the sludge outlet pipeline includes a sludge outlet flow meter 30, a sludge outlet pump 31, a sludge return valve 32, and a sludge outlet pipe.

[0043] The stirring device 13, the aeration device 15, the electric water inlet valve 14, the sludge inlet pump 20, the sludge outlet flow meter 30, the sludge outlet pump 31 and the sludge backflow valve 32 are electrically connected with the PLC.

[0044] The first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 are symmetrically distributed.

[0045] Specifically, the sludge backflow valve 32 is provided with two; the sludge outlet pipe is provided with a first branch pipe, a second branch pipe and a main pipe; the two sludge backflow valves 32 are arranged on the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe respectively; the sludge outlet flow meter 30 and the sludge outlet pump 31 are arranged on the main pipe; the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe are connected with the first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 respectively, and the main pipe is connected with the anaerobic side flow reactor 21.

[0046] The first side pool 10, the second side pool 12 and the middle pool 11 are all provided in a rectangular shape; the first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 are communicated with the middle pool 11 through the first communication port and the second communication port arranged on the pool wall of the middle pool 11.

[0047] The first side pool 10 and the second side pool 12 are both provided with a water outlet weir (not shown in the figure).

[0048] In application, the main system is divided into three stages for operation, which are as follows:

[0049] 1) The main stage, the sewage first enters the first side pool 10, and the conversion of anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic states of the first side pool 10 is realized by adjusting the opening degree of the aeration device and the start-stop of the stirring device 13. Since the first side pool 10 is in the state of water outflow after pre-deposition, a large amount of high-concentration sludge is deposited at the bottom. By adjusting the stirring intensity, the influent and the activated sludge are uniformly mixed, most of the organic matter is quickly adsorbed, and part of it is degraded. At the same time, the organic matter in the sewage is used as an electron donor to reduce NO3 -N by the denitrification of facultative bacteria; at the same time, the phosphorus in the high-concentration sludge deposited during the operation of the previous stage is released by using the easily degradable carbon source (VFAs) in the sewage. During the plug flow process, the sludge in the first side pool 10 enters the middle pool 11 and then enters the second side pool 12, so as to realize the redistribution of the sludge in each pool body, finally, the mixed liquid enters the second side pool 12 in the state of deposition for sludge-water separation, and the effluent is discharged through the water outlet weir. This stage includes the backflow of the high-concentration sludge at the bottom of the second side pool 12 to the anaerobic side flow reactor 21.

[0050] 2) The transition stage, the sewage enters the middle pool 11, the first side pool 10 is aerated, and manual sludge discharge is performed in the first side pool 10. The middle pool 11 stops aeration and stirring to realize the anaerobic state, and the second side pool 12 is still in the state of water outflow.

[0051] 3) Precipitation stage, the first side pool 10 starts to be static and prepares for water outflow, sewage still enters the middle pool 11, the middle pool 11 is aerated, and the second side pool 12 flows out.

[0052] 4) Change the sewage flow direction, and repeat the processes of 1) to 3) in sequence.

[0053] In the anaerobic side stream reactor 21 in the bypass system, first, after the exchange sludge enters the anaerobic side stream reactor 21, due to the change of substrate and environment, the aerobic microorganisms die, the cells are lysed, the sludge anaerobic digestion enters the hydrolysis acidification or hydrogen production stage, and finally the sludge after anaerobic digestion is backflowed to the aerobic unit of the UNITANK process. A large amount of organic matter produced after hydrolysis in the backflow sludge is completely degraded in the aerobic unit. In this way, the sludge is repeatedly circulated, so that the sludge reduction effect is achieved through sludge decay. Secondly, when the exchange sludge enters the anaerobic side stream reactor 21, under anaerobic conditions, a large amount of agglutinin appears to be dissociated due to reasons such as stirring, microbial lysis and low oxidation-reduction potential, releasing easily degradable proteins and Mg 2+ , and the concentration of K + is also increased; when the anaerobic sludge is backflowed to the UNITANK aerobic unit, the released proteins are completely degraded, Mg 2+ is recomplexed with organic matter such as proteins to form agglutinin, and K + is absorbed into the cytoplasm of microorganisms. Due to the continuous exchange of sludge, the agglutinin is continuously dissociated, degraded and complexed, so that the sludge reduction effect is achieved through the dissociation of extracellular polymeric substance metal complexes.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the application have been shown and described above, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto, any change or replacement not through creative labor should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model; unless explicitly stated, any element, action or instruction used in the text should not be interpreted as critical or necessary.
