In the anoxic denitrification process, microorganisms utilize the carbon source in sodium acetate to reduce nitrate to nitrogen, reducing nitrogen pollution in water. At the same time, in the biological phosphorus removal process, sodium acetate as a carbon source can promote the growth of polyphosphorus bacteria and enhance the phosphorus removal effect. Therefore, precise control of the dosage of sodium acetate and guarantee of the total nitrogen content of the effluent to meet the discharge standard are of great significance to the stable operation and optimization of the treatment effect of the sewage treatment plant.

Since the water quality of the sewage treatment plant changes greatly, it lacks scientificity to determine the reagent dosage according to the fixed dosing ratio. Therefore, it is necessary to design a carbon source feeding system based on actual needs to realize precise and uniform dosing of reagents. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0026] As Figure 2 , 4 , as shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment, two storage pools 4 are provided, and the storage pool 4 is used for storing sodium acetate as a carbon source. A liquid collecting tank 15 is arranged at the bottom of the storage pool 4. The liquid collecting tank 15 is a small-sized tank concave downward, so that the sodium acetate in the storage pool 4 is collected in the liquid collecting tank 15.

[0028] Further, in combination with theFigure 2 , 3 As shown, the carbon source delivery network 6 consists of multiple delivery pipelines 61 and a backup pipeline 62.
