Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental monitoring technology, and in particular to a gas detection and drying device for wastewater treatment plants. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the detection of odor pollutants in urban wastewater treatment plants, existing gas drying technologies mainly employ the following three methods, but all of them have significant technical drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Physical adsorption method: An activated carbon adsorption tower is used, which is filled with granular activated carbon. The gas passes through the adsorption layer at a flow rate of 0.5-1.2 m / s. Some systems are equipped with a pre-filter glass fiber membrane to intercept liquid water droplets. However, the physical adsorption method has technical problems such as humidity sensitivity failure, frequent regeneration requirements, and excessive pressure loss.

[0004] 2. Chemical absorption method: Two-stage scrubbing towers are connected in series. The first stage is filled with sodium hydroxide solution and the second stage is filled with calcium chloride solution. The gas passes through the liquid layer in the form of bubbles. The chemical absorption method has technical problems such as selective removal, secondary pollution and equipment corrosion.

[0005] 3. Condensation dehydration method: The gas is cooled to 5-10℃ using a semiconductor refrigeration chip, and the water is condensed and discharged through a steam trap. The condensation dehydration method has technical problems such as aerosol interference, high energy consumption, and low-temperature adsorption effect.

[0006] All three methods mentioned above share common technical drawbacks, such as poor humidity adaptability, high maintenance complexity, and interference from multiple components.

[0007] Chinese patent application number 202410247196.8 discloses a gas drying device, including a drying component, a return component, and a retarding motor mounted on an assembly frame. A regeneration component is disposed between the bottoms of the drying component and the return component. Gas is injected into the first cylinder of the drying component and enters a spiral channel within the first cylinder. The spiral channel guides a molecular sieve that has been thermally regenerated by the regeneration component, ensuring sufficient contact between the molecular sieve and the gas. Simultaneously, the retarding motor drives a rotating drum to rotate in the opposite direction to the downward spiral channel. As the molecular sieve rolls downward within the spiral channel under the influence of gravity, friction is generated between the inner wall of the spiral channel and the molecular sieve due to the rotation of the drum. This friction counteracts the gravity acting on the molecular sieve, thereby reducing the residence time of the molecular sieve within the rotating drum, increasing the contact time with the gas, and improving the gas drying effect. While the technical solution proposed in the above invention improves the gas drying effect through structural improvements, it does not address improvements in areas such as eliminating condensate interference, enhancing equipment protection, or strengthening detection reliability. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes an on-site gas detection and drying device for sewage treatment plants, which solves the technical problem of low reliability caused by the influence of the detection process in existing gas detection devices on the market.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wastewater treatment plant on-site gas detection and drying device, comprising a portable odor detector, a first air inlet hose, a second air inlet hose, a drying device, and a sampling probe. The sampling probe and the drying device are connected through the first air inlet hose, and the drying device and the portable odor detector are connected through the second air inlet hose. The drying device includes a drying cylinder and a sealing cap covering the drying cylinder, and the drying cylinder is filled with a desiccant.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing cover is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The first air inlet hose enters the drying cylinder through the air inlet, and the second air inlet hose enters the drying cylinder through the air outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, a support column is provided on the bottom surface of the sealing cover, and the first air inlet hose enters the drying cylinder through the air inlet and is spirally wound around the support column.

[0012] Furthermore, the first air intake hose is provided with vent holes at intervals, with a 1cm interval between two adjacent vent holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the first air intake hose spirals downwards to the bottom of the drying cylinder, and the second air intake hose extends upwards from the bottom of the drying cylinder through the air outlet and connects to the portable odor detector.

[0014] Furthermore, the desiccant includes sodium hydroxide and anhydrous calcium chloride.

[0015] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention utilizes the dehumidification design of chemical desiccants sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride to reduce gas humidity from 80-95%RH under normal operating conditions to below 30%RH (laboratory measured data). This effectively eliminates the adsorption / dissolution effect of gaseous pollutants on the pipe wall. Comparative experiments show that the detection deviation of characteristic pollutants such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide has been reduced from ±15% to within ±5%, meeting the precise detection requirements of the "Odor Pollutant Emission Standard" (GB14554-93).

[0017] At the same time, it improved equipment reliability, increased economic benefits, and improved operation and maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description
