Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological filter technology, specifically to an upflow biological filter with multiple backwashing modes. Background Technology

[0002] As the core unit of wastewater treatment, biological filters are an important measure to ensure effluent quality. They can effectively reduce the content of pollutants such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, intercept suspended solids (SS), and purify water. They have advantages such as high treatment efficiency, small footprint, and convenient operation and management. As the filter operates normally, the amount of intercepted substances increases, the biofilm thickens to a certain extent and begins to detach, the porosity between filter media decreases, the mass transfer rate slows down, the head loss increases, and the effluent quality deteriorates. At this time, it is necessary to stop operation and perform backwashing. Currently, the commonly used backwashing method is: air washing - combined air and water washing - water washing. To avoid excessive backwashing, which can cause filter media wear and slow biofilm microbial recovery, the backwashing cycle is determined according to the filter structure and the types of microorganisms.

[0003] Traditional backwashing methods are mostly upflow, which first involves air backwashing to loosen the filter media layer and cause it to expand. Then, air and water backwashing is used to flush out suspended solids and aged microbial membranes trapped in the filter media layer. Finally, water washing removes these impurities. This method requires a backwash pump and a backwash blower, has a single backwashing method, consumes electricity, and requires a clear water tank, thus increasing investment costs. Therefore, we propose an upflow biological filter with multiple backwashing modes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an upflow biological filter with multiple backwashing modes, which can solve the problems of power consumption, electricity and investment in the original backwashing method, and the need to set up a clear water tank. It can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an upflow biological filter with multiple backwashing modes, comprising an upflow biological filter body, a pipe gallery on the right side of the upflow biological filter body, a wastewater tank on the right side of the pipe gallery, an aeration air pipe and a flushing air pipe installed on the left side inside the upflow biological filter body, an aeration air valve installed on the circumferential surface of the aeration air pipe, a flushing air valve installed on the circumferential surface of the flushing air pipe, a uniformly distributed effluent channel and water channel at the upper end of the upflow biological filter body, a forward wash inlet gate installed at the right end of all water channels, a main effluent channel and a secondary effluent channel at the upper end of the pipe gallery, the secondary effluent channel being located to the left of the main effluent channel, a backwash inlet pipe installed inside the outlet of the secondary effluent channel, a backwash inlet valve installed on the circumferential surface of the backwash inlet pipe, and the effluent... Above the branch channels and the main inlet channel, there are evenly distributed inlet channels and main inlet channels. All inlet channels are located on the left side of the main inlet channel. An inlet pipe is fixed inside the drain outlet below each inlet channel, and an inlet valve is installed on the circumference of the inlet pipe. A backwash drain pipe is fixed inside the drain outlet on the lower side of each channel, and a backwash drain valve is installed on the circumference of the backwash drain pipe. The right end of the backwash drain pipe is connected to the wastewater tank. A forward wash drain pipe is fixed at the lower end inside the pipe gallery, and its right end is connected to the wastewater tank. An opening is provided at the left end of the pipe gallery, and the left end of the forward wash drain pipe is fixed inside the opening. A forward wash drain valve is installed on the circumference of the forward wash drain pipe. By setting the forward wash drain valve, the liquid level in the upflow biological filter can be changed by adjusting the opening degree of the forward wash drain valve in forward wash mode, thereby changing the flushing intensity.

[0006] Furthermore, the outlet channels and water channels are distributed alternately.

[0007] Furthermore, the left end of the inlet pipe is fixed inside the pipe gallery on the left side, and the inlet pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the upflow biological filter body.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This multi-backwashing upflow biological filter has the following advantages:

[0009] The entire backwashing process of this device relies on gravity-fed water intake, eliminating the need for a backwash water pump and consuming no electricity, thus saving energy and reducing consumption. It can achieve both forward and backwashing modes, which can be flexibly combined and used. In forward wash mode, the liquid level in the upflow biological filter can be changed by adjusting the opening degree of the forward wash drain valve, thereby changing the washing intensity. There is no need to set up a clear water tank, saving investment costs. Attached Figure Description
