Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aeration technology, specifically a low-energy aeration system suitable for oxidation ditches. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, wastewater treatment processes used in wastewater treatment plants can be broadly categorized into two types: activated sludge processes and contact oxidation processes. Aeration is the core technology of all these processes and is an indispensable step. Simultaneously, aeration equipment is the most energy-intensive component in aerobic biological wastewater treatment systems, accounting for 60-70% of the total energy consumption of activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. The performance of the aeration equipment directly affects the wastewater treatment effect and also influences the operating costs of the wastewater treatment plant.

[0003] Ensuring effective aeration and oxygenation depends on the aeration equipment. There are two main types of aeration equipment: blower aeration and mechanical aeration. Blower aeration systems are very complex, consume a lot of power, and are prone to clogging and other accidents. When clogging occurs and equipment needs repair, the system must be stopped, and all the water in the aeration tank must be drained before repairs can begin. This repair method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, increases maintenance costs, and makes management and maintenance very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a low-energy aeration system suitable for oxidation ditches, including a blower 1, a main pipeline 2, an oxidation ditch 3, and an air supply pipeline 4 installed on the oxidation ditch 3. The blower 1 is connected to the main pipeline 2, and the main pipeline 2 is connected to the air supply pipeline 4 through a bend pipe 5. The air supply pipeline 4 is connected to an aerator through an air guide pipe 6. The aerator is installed at the bottom of the oxidation ditch 3 and is a liftable tubular aerator.

[0026] The main pipeline 2 is installed at a higher height than the gas transmission pipeline 4.

[0027] Oxidation ditch 3 is a deep ditch with a straight groove opening, which includes semi-circular sections at both ends and a straight groove section connecting the semi-circular sections in the middle.

[0028] The bent pipe 5 includes a horizontal section 51 and an inclined section 52, with an angle greater than 120° between the horizontal section 51 and the inclined section 52.

[0029] The bend in pipe 5 allows airflow to enter the gas pipeline 4 more smoothly from the main pipeline 2 at a higher position.

[0030] The oxidation ditch 3 includes an outer ring ditch 31 and an inner ring ditch 32. A first platform 33 is provided between the outer ring ditch 31 and the inner ring ditch 32, and a second platform 34 is provided inside the inner ring ditch 32.

[0031] The gas pipeline 4 includes a first bend 41, a first straight pipe 42 and a second bend 43 located outside the outer ring trench 31. The first bend 41 is connected to the horizontal section 51 and the first straight pipe 42 is connected to the first bend 41 and the second bend 43.

[0032] Furthermore, the connection angle between the first bend 41 and the horizontal section 51 is an obtuse angle, which facilitates gas transport and reduces gas energy loss.

[0033] The second platform 34 is equipped with a second straight pipe 341 and a third straight pipe 342. The second straight pipe 341 is connected to the main pipe 2 through a bend pipe 5, and the third straight pipe 342 is connected to the second straight pipe 341 through a third bend pipe 343.

[0034] It should be noted that valves are installed at the joints of each pipeline, especially valves are installed at the outlets of the main pipeline 2 to each gas supply pipeline 4 to control the gas supply status of a single oxidation tank, and valves are also installed at the connection points of each gas guide pipe 6 to the gas supply pipeline 4 to control the gas supply status to a single gas guide pipe 6.

[0035] Both the outer groove 31 and the inner groove 32 are equipped with horizontal air guide pipes 6, which are connected to the air supply pipeline 4.

[0036] Furthermore, the air guide pipe 6 set on the outer groove 31 is connected to the first bend pipe 41, the first straight pipe 42 and the second bend pipe 43. The bend section is connected to the bend pipe, and the straight groove is connected to the straight pipe, so that the air guide pipe 6 can be directly connected to the gas transmission pipeline 4 with a small distance span, so that each air guide pipe 6 can be directly connected to the gas transmission pipeline 4 to deliver gas directly.

[0037] The second straight pipe 341 and the third straight pipe 342 are supported by the second platform 34 and supply gas to the inner ring trench 32.

[0038] A detachable connecting rod 61 is provided downwards in the air guide pipe 6, and an aeration pipe frame 62 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 61. The aeration pipe frame 62 is located at the bottom of the oxidation ditch 3.

[0039] The detachable connecting rod 61 can be connected to the air guide pipe 6 via a flange. Therefore, when the aeration pipe frame 62 fails and needs to be replaced, the detachable connecting rod 61 can be completely disassembled and lifted out of the water for replacement without shutting down the entire system for maintenance.

[0040] This pipeline layout ensures that all parts of the oxidation ditch are covered, resulting in high efficiency.

[0041] This invention utilizes the advantage of high dissolved oxygen in liftable tubular aerators, and the blower-assisted air delivery saves energy compared to traditional aeration devices, thereby reducing blower power and reducing air supply paths. At the same time, liftable tubular aerators have low maintenance costs, ensuring low-energy operation of oxidation ditch wastewater treatment plants.

[0042] Specifically, compared with the traditional method: ① the fan has a smaller air volume and power, which can be reduced by 43%;

[0043] ② The air delivery system has a small pipe diameter and low investment;

[0044] ③ The aeration system adopts a liftable design, resulting in low operation and maintenance costs;

[0045] ④ It increases sewage treatment capacity and has a low cost per ton of water treated.

[0046] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
