Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water treatment equipment, and in particular to a wastewater recycling system for aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, approximately 5% to 10% of the feed fed into aquaculture ponds is not consumed by aquatic organisms. Of the feed consumed, a portion is excreted in feces. The organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other components in the feed and feces accumulate in the aquaculture water, providing conditions for the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria and increasing the likelihood of disease in aquatic organisms. Excessive decomposition of organic matter consumes large amounts of oxygen, making ponds prone to hypoxia and water quality deterioration, directly impacting the growth of farmed organisms. Currently, aeration equipment is typically used to oxygenate the ponds to prevent eutrophication, but this does not prevent bacterial growth.

[0003] The invention patent application with application number CN202211362410.1 discloses a method and system for internal circulation of aquaculture wastewater. This system recycles wastewater after aerobic, anaerobic, and oxygenation treatments, reducing the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter in the water. However, this system cannot promptly remove feed residue, feces, and other impurities deposited at the bottom of the aquaculture pond, and it cannot solve the problem of bacteria easily multiplying at the bottom of the pond. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an aquaculture wastewater recycling system that can purify wastewater, realize its recycling, and at the same time clean up sediment at the bottom of the pond in a timely manner to prevent bacterial growth.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] This utility model relates to an aquaculture wastewater recycling treatment system, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the aquaculture pond 1 has a V-shaped bottom wall. A sewage pipe 2 is installed at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the aquaculture pond 1. Multiple suction ports 3 are installed on the sewage pipe 2. A lift pipe 4 is installed at one end of the sewage pipe 2. A lift pump 5 is installed on the lift pipe 4. A filter mechanism is connected to the upper end of the lift pipe 4. The filter mechanism is connected to a biochemical treatment mechanism. The biochemical treatment mechanism is connected to an ecological treatment mechanism. The ecological treatment mechanism is located above the aquaculture pond 1 and is equipped with a drop outlet 6.

[0022] Aquaculture pond 1 is used for aquaculture and can be a rectangular pool built on the ground. The bottom wall of aquaculture pond 1 is V-shaped, allowing feed sediment and aquatic waste to slide to the lowest point. After the lift pump 5 starts, the tailwater at the bottom of aquaculture pond 1, carrying solid impurities, enters the sewage pipe 2 through the suction inlet 3, and then flows into the filtration mechanism along the sewage pipe 2 and the lift pipe 4. After entering the filtration mechanism, the solid impurities are filtered out, and the clean water enters the biological treatment mechanism. Microorganisms in the biological treatment mechanism decompose pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter in the tailwater, reducing the pollutant content. After biological treatment, the tailwater enters the ecological treatment mechanism to further remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and finally falls from the ecological treatment mechanism into aquaculture pond 1 through the drop outlet 6, which increases the oxygen content in the water.

[0023] This invention not only performs biochemical treatment on the wastewater but also removes feed residue and aquatic excrement deposited at the bottom of the aquaculture pond 1, preventing the growth of harmful microorganisms due to the rich nutrients in these substances and thus improving the safety of aquaculture. Furthermore, by installing an ecological treatment mechanism above the aquaculture pond 1, the nutrients in the wastewater are further consumed, and the pond is partially shaded, creating a shaded area for fish to hide in. In addition, the ecological treatment mechanism does not occupy space outside the aquaculture pond 1, improving the space utilization rate of the pond 1.

[0024] In this invention, the filtration mechanism can employ various existing filtration devices. As a preferred embodiment, the filtration mechanism includes a filter tank 7, which is a tank with a sealed bottom and an open top, possessing a rectangular inner cavity. It can be a metal tank or a concrete tank. The filter tank 7 can be installed on the ground next to the aquaculture pond 1. A filter layer 8 is provided inside the filter tank 7, which filters solid impurities. Existing filter cartridges, filter screens, etc., can be used, preferably granular filter media such as river sand. A sedimentation chamber 9 is provided between the filter layer 8 and the bottom wall of the filter tank 7. The upper end of the lift pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the filter tank 7, and a drain outlet 10 is provided at the top of the filter tank 7. The wastewater from the aquaculture pond 1 is transported to the sedimentation chamber 9 through the lift pipe 4. Under the action of the filter layer 8, solid impurities remain in the sedimentation chamber 9 and settle at the bottom, while the clean water flows upward to the drain outlet 10 and is discharged from the drain outlet 10.

[0025] To facilitate the periodic cleaning of solid impurities in the sedimentation chamber 9, the side wall of the sedimentation chamber 9 is provided with an openable and closable sludge discharge port 11. A detachable sludge discharge door can be installed inside the sludge discharge port 11. The sludge discharge door can be connected to the side wall of the sedimentation chamber 9 by screws. When it is necessary to clean solid impurities, the lifting pump 5 stops running, the sludge discharge door is opened, and the water in the filter tank 7 is discharged through the sludge discharge port 11. Then, the cleaning tool is inserted into the sedimentation chamber 9 through the sludge discharge port 11 to clean away the sludge.

[0026] The biochemical treatment facility can utilize existing technology. Preferably, the biochemical treatment facility includes a treatment pool 12 set on the ground surrounding the aquaculture pond 1. The treatment pool 12 is arranged around the aquaculture pond 1 and can be linear, L-shaped, or U-shaped. The treatment pool 12 can be a metal pool or a concrete pool. An installation trench of a certain depth is excavated on the ground around the aquaculture pond 1, and the treatment pool 12 is installed in the installation trench, with the top of the treatment pool 12 higher than the ground. One end of the treatment pool 12 is connected to the drain outlet 10, and the other end is provided with a drainage trough 13 extending to the aquaculture pond 1. The treatment pool 12 is filled with packing material 14. The height of the drain outlet 10 is higher than that of the treatment pool 12. A pipe or water trough can be set at the drain outlet 10, and the clear water at the top of the filter tank 7 falls into the treatment pool 12 through the pipe or water trough. The packing material 14 provides a place for the growth of microorganisms, ensuring the treatment effect of the effluent. The drainage trough 13 is used to discharge the water in the treatment pool 12 into the ecological treatment facility, and a metal trough or plastic trough with a U-shaped cross-section can be used.

[0027] The packing material 14 can adopt existing technology, such as suspended packing material. In order to facilitate installation and later maintenance, the packing material 14 of this utility model is flexible packing material, such as braided tape packing material. The top of the treatment tank 12 is provided with a suspension frame 15, and the flexible packing material is suspended on the suspension frame 15. It is easy to install and can be quickly removed for later replacement and maintenance.

[0028] The ecological treatment system primarily utilizes plants 18 to absorb nutrients from the water. Specifically, the system includes a horizontally positioned planting trough 16, which can be a metal trough with a U-shaped cross-section. The planting trough 16 is positioned at the top of the aquaculture pond 1, with both ends fixed to the side walls of the pond. One end of the planting trough 16 is connected to a drainage trough 13, and a cascade 6 is located at the other end. A planting bed 17 is installed within the planting trough 16, on which plants 18 are planted. The planting trough 16 is located below the drainage trough 13, allowing water from the drainage trough 13 to flow into it. After entering the planting trough 16, the water flows towards the cascade 6. As it flows through the planting bed 17, the roots of the plants 18 absorb nutrients from the water, further purifying the wastewater and reducing its nutrient content. The water in the planting trough 16 then flows into the aquaculture pond 1 through the cascade 6, thus achieving water circulation. The planting trough 16 is located above the aquaculture water body. During the water drop, it can fully contact the air and increase the dissolved oxygen content.

[0029] There are multiple drainage troughs 13 and planting troughs 16, with each planting trough 16 connected to one drainage trough 13. Using multiple planting troughs 16 to disperse the water flow can reduce the water flow velocity in each planting trough 16 and improve the water purification effect of the plants 18.

[0030] The planting bed 17 has multiple water passage holes on its sidewalls. The planting bed 17 is rectangular with an inner cavity, allowing water from the planting trough 16 to enter and exit through these holes. Inside the planting bed 17, from bottom to top, are arranged a first granular layer 21, a second granular layer 19, and a substrate layer 20. The particle size of the second granular layer 19 is smaller than that of the first granular layer 21. The plant 18 is planted in the substrate layer 20. The first granular layer 21 can be a pebble layer, the second granular layer 19 can be a ceramic granule layer, and the substrate layer 20 can be any existing nutrient soil. The substrate layer 20 provides nutrients to the plant 18. The second granular layer 19 and the first granular layer 21 support the substrate layer 20, preventing it from being directly immersed in water and causing rapid nutrient loss. There are gaps between the second granular layer 19 and the first granular layer 21. After water enters the planting bed 17, it resides inside the first granular layer 21, allowing the roots of the plant 18 to extend into it, thus purifying the water. Plant 18 can be common aquatic and wetland plants such as cattail, sweet flag, and water onion.

[0031] In this invention, only one booster pump 5 is needed, resulting in low operating costs and good treatment effect on tailwater. The entire treatment process is ecological and environmentally friendly, which is conducive to the healthy growth of aquatic products.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
