Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fishpond aquaculture wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically relates to an algae cultivation device for aquaculture wastewater treatment and nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization. Background Technology

[0002] Intensive aquaculture has developed rapidly in my country. The wastewater from fishponds contains large amounts of suspended solids, dissolved organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus, posing a significant impact on surrounding water resources and the ecological environment. In fishpond aquaculture, feed is frequently given, and some of this feed remains in the water uneaten. Even the ingested feed, after digestion by aquatic animals, is excreted into the water. The organic matter in the feed and excrement dissolves in the water, leading to eutrophication of the aquaculture water. Dissolved organic matter pollution manifests as an increase in the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the water, while nitrogen and phosphorus pollution is reflected in their excessive levels.

[0003] Common technologies for treating aquaculture wastewater include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Traditional treatment methods typically suffer from drawbacks such as high construction and operating costs, poor water treatment efficiency, or unstable effluent quality. Furthermore, they lack the resource utilization of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model optimizes the biological treatment process and sets up an algae cultivation device to utilize nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients on the basis of existing biological wastewater treatment processes. This not only achieves more efficient purification of aquaculture wastewater, but also reduces feed input by supplementing natural bait, thus achieving efficient and economical treatment of fishpond aquaculture wastewater.

[0014] Furthermore, the nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization algae cultivation unit consists of a front-end sedimentation tank and an algae cultivation device. The front-end sedimentation tank is connected to the second-stage biological treatment device. The algae cultivation device is equipped with an LED lighting system, a stirring device, valves, a drain pipe, and a heating system.

[0015] Furthermore, the effluent oxygenation unit consists of a stepped oxygenation device, and the effluent is oxygenated by the stepped flow system before being discharged or re-entered into the fishpond.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] One advantage of this utility model is that the front-end biological treatment unit provides a first-tier biological treatment device that integrates fish fry breeding and aquaculture wastewater treatment. The first-tier biological treatment device has a cage-like cross-linked three-dimensional network structure inside the box. The structure is filled with microbial filter media and has a jet aeration device at the bottom. The jet aeration device is connected to the oxygenation aerator in the device chamber. The fishpond aquaculture wastewater in the structure overflows into the second-tier biological treatment device after treatment. The first-tier biological treatment device performs aerobic treatment on the aquaculture wastewater in the in-situ environment of the fishpond, realizing the ammonification and ammonia oxidation of organic nitrogen in the aquaculture wastewater, adsorbing and degrading the biologically decomposable organic matter in the wastewater. Based on the fishpond aquaculture mode and the characteristics of aquaculture water quality, the high integration makes full use of the existing conditions of the fishpond and solves the problems of large equipment footprint and high construction and operation costs in the prior art.

[0018] One advantage of this invention is that the wastewater after aerobic treatment overflows into the second-stage biological treatment device of the front-end biological treatment unit.

The inlet end of the structure is connected to the outlet end of the first-stage biological treatment device through a connecting pipe. A flow regulating gate is set on the connecting channel for flow control and distribution. The structure is filled with microbial filter media for facultative anaerobic treatment of the purified aquaculture wastewater. After the wastewater enters the cage-like cross-linked three-dimensional network structure, the microbial filter media can reduce nitrate nitrogen in the water to nitrogen gas, and at the same time decompose and convert organic matter into water and carbon dioxide. In the wastewater treatment process, there is no need to add an additional carbon source, no need for internal or external reflux, and the microorganisms on the microbial filter media are easy to attach and detach, have strong resistance to shock loads, and produce little residual sludge, making it energy-saving and efficient.

The front-end sedimentation tank is connected to a second-stage biological treatment device. Wastewater treated with facultative anoxic methods flows into the front-end sedimentation tank to remove suspended solids and adjust water quality and quantity.

The stirring device has stirring blades to maintain a circulation velocity of 0.5 m / s. The LED lighting system consists of multiple LED tubes arranged side-by-side. LEDs are selective and inexpensive light sources that can provide suitable light for algae growth. The system is set to a light phase:dark phase ratio of 2:1 to provide light to the algae, with a daily lighting time of 12 hours, i.e., an effective lighting time of 8 hours. h, the valve is used to supply O2 and CO2 for algae growth, the drain pipe is connected to the effluent oxygenation unit, the heating system is composed of high-quality steel pipes, and the heat provided is only used to maintain the algae cultivation device at a suitable temperature for algae growth.

[0020] One advantage of this invention is that the outlet aeration unit is equipped with a stepped aeration device. During the cascading process, water and air come into full contact, and a large amount of oxygen in the air dissolves into the water. The outlet water is aerated by the stepped aeration device and then discharged or flows back into the fishpond. Compared with some equipment that requires additional energy to drive, the stepped aeration device uses the gravitational potential energy of water to generate a cascading effect, reducing complex mechanical parts and electrical equipment. This makes the installation and maintenance of the stepped aeration device more convenient, less prone to failure, extends its service life, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0031] It should be noted that this utility model is a fishery aquaculture wastewater treatment and nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization algae cultivation device.
