Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tap water treatment technology, specifically to an online automatic chlorine demand measurement device and system. Background Technology
[0002] Chlorine requirement refers to the amount of chlorine needed to kill bacteria and oxidize organic matter in water during chlorination disinfection. Currently, domestic water treatment plants widely use liquid chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and sodium hypochlorite to disinfect raw water. Water plants typically adjust disinfectant dosage based on the residual chlorine levels in the sedimentation tank effluent and filtered effluent. This method has the following problems:
[0003] Using the residual chlorine levels of sedimentation tank effluent and filtered effluent as a reference for disinfectant dosing results in long adjustment cycles and a lack of scientific guidance for reagent adjustments. Water plants can manually determine the chlorine requirement of raw water, but this method is susceptible to variations in personnel skill and competence, leading to untimely sampling and inaccurate experimental data. In actual water production, due to changes in water intake and quality, on-site residual chlorine testing in process tanks such as pre-sedimentation tanks and grid flocculation tanks is necessary, placing a significant workload on water treatment personnel. The manual determination of raw water chlorine requirement by water treatment personnel is also susceptible to variations in personnel skill and competence, resulting in problems such as untimely sampling and inaccurate experimental data. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online automatic chlorine demand measurement device and system, which solves the problem that there is no device and system for on-site automatic detection of chlorine demand in existing water treatment technologies.
[0005] This utility model discloses an online automatic chlorine demand determination device, including a reaction tank for reacting raw water and pharmaceuticals, and a water quality analyzer connected to the reaction tank for detecting residual chlorine data.
[0006] Working Principle: First, raw water and chemicals are placed in a reaction tank to react. After complete reaction, the water is discharged into a water quality analyzer for residual chlorine data testing. Based on the data, the required chlorine amount is calculated and applied to the disinfectant dosing equipment in the water plant to control the disinfectant dosage. After collecting the required chlorine data, the reaction tank is cleaned, and then the next test is conducted. By setting up a reaction tank, raw water and chemicals can react, facilitating subsequent residual chlorine data testing. By using a water quality analyzer to test the residual chlorine in the reacted water, the required chlorine amount can be obtained, allowing the water plant to adjust the disinfectant dosage accordingly.
[0007] Furthermore, the device is connected to a controller and a display.
[0008] Setting up controllers and displays facilitates on-site operation and data observation.
[0009] Furthermore, the display has a human-computer interaction interface.
[0010] Furthermore, the reaction tank is connected to a constant-volume water tank.
[0011] By setting up a fixed-volume water tank, a fixed amount of raw water can be stored, ensuring that the amount of raw water used each time is the same, which facilitates data processing.
[0012] Furthermore, a first overflow port is provided on the upper part of the constant volume water tank.
[0013] By setting a first overflow port, any extra raw water added can be discharged from the first overflow port, ensuring that the amount of water in the constant-volume water tank remains the same.
[0014] Furthermore, the reaction tank is connected to a reagent volume adjustment device.
[0015] By setting up a reagent volume control device, it is possible to ensure that the amount of reagent added each time is the same, which facilitates data processing after the reaction.
[0016] Furthermore, the drug volume control device is provided with multiple drug overflow ports.
[0017] Furthermore, the drug volume control device is provided with three drug overflow ports at different heights.
[0018] By setting up three overflow outlets with different heights, the system can adapt to different raw water quality conditions by adjusting the opening and closing of the three overflow outlets.
[0019] Furthermore, the pharmaceutical volume-regulating device is connected to a pharmaceutical storage tank.
[0020] By setting up a medicine storage tank, medicines can be stored, making it convenient to dispense medicines through a medicine volume control device.
[0021] Furthermore, the drug storage tank is provided with a threaded dosing port.
[0022] Because reagents are easily affected by external factors and deteriorate, a threaded dosing port is installed to reduce the impact of the external environment on them, thereby slowing down the rate of reagent deterioration and mitigating its influence on the results.
[0023] Furthermore, a peristaltic pump is installed between the reaction tank and the water quality analyzer.
[0024] By installing a peristaltic pump, water from the reaction tank can be pumped into a water quality analyzer for testing, facilitating the collection and detection of residual chlorine data.
[0025] Furthermore, solenoid valves are used to control the connection between the various devices.
[0026] Furthermore, the device is installed at the front end of the water intake pumping station.
[0027] An automatic chlorine demand determination system, comprising the above-mentioned device.
[0028] Furthermore, the system is equipped with a human-machine interface and control program.
[0029] The entire equipment is controlled by a control program. After calculating the required chlorine level from the residual chlorine data, the program facilitates adjustments to the disinfectant dosage by the water plant. The operating status and monitoring data are displayed through a human-machine interface.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0031] 1. Currently, automated raw water quality testing instruments can only detect some individual pollution indicators such as ammonia nitrogen, manganese, and permanganate index, providing a reference for water treatment personnel. These personnel then add disinfectant based on these indicators and their operational experience. However, raw water in actual production processes is complex and variable, including but not limited to bacteria and microorganisms. Our company's proposed automatic chlorine demand measurement device can ignore the content of bacteria, microorganisms, organic matter, and inorganic matter in the raw water, directly measuring the minimum disinfectant consumption for the raw water. This invention directly quantifies the disinfectant dosage, allowing water treatment personnel to add disinfectant directly based on the chlorine demand measurement value, making it more accurate and reliable than the methods described above.
[0032] 2. Previously, the method of adding disinfectant based on certain raw water pollutant indicators and personnel experience could lead to over- or under-dosing of disinfectant. If adjustments to the initial disinfectant dosage were needed, they could only be made based on the data from online residual chlorine / total chlorine meters in the production process. This method suffers from delayed feedback; raw water from the same section often takes several hours to reach the online residual chlorine / total chlorine meters in the production process. Although manual sampling and testing of residual chlorine / total chlorine by water treatment personnel before the process water reaches the online residual chlorine / total chlorine meters can be performed...
[0033] The total chlorine content is adjusted to control the disinfectant dosage, but this approach has several drawbacks, including increased water production risks, increased workload for water production personnel, and impact on the content of disinfection byproducts in the water. The automatic chlorine demand measurement device of this invention can predict the minimum disinfectant dosage required for raw water to enter the plant, reducing fluctuations in the residual chlorine / total chlorine ratio during the production process. This further mitigates water production risks, reduces the workload of water production personnel, and improves the content of disinfection byproducts in the water.
[0034] 3. This device and system define the chlorine requirement index for chlorine disinfection processes in the tap water industry. Through this device and system, the chlorine requirement index of water bodies can be quantitatively measured, enabling precise quantitative initial addition of chlorine disinfectant during the tap water production control process.
[0035] 4. By setting up a reaction tank, the raw water and the drug can be reacted, and the residual chlorine data can be easily detected after the reaction is completed;
[0036] 5. By installing a water quality testing instrument, residual chlorine data can be measured in the reacted water. Based on this data, the required chlorine level can be determined, facilitating adjustments to the disinfectant dosage at the water plant. 6. By installing a fixed-volume water tank, a fixed quantity of raw water can be stored, ensuring consistent raw water usage each time.
[0037] It facilitates data processing;
[0038] 7. By setting a first overflow port, any extra raw water added can be discharged from the first overflow port, ensuring that the amount of water in the constant volume water tank is the same;
[0039] 8. By setting up a reagent volume control device, it is possible to ensure that the amount of reagent added each time is the same, which facilitates data processing after the reaction;
[0040] 9. By setting three overflow outlets for the chemical reagents, with different heights for the three overflow outlets, the system can adapt to different raw water quality conditions by adjusting the opening and closing status of the three overflow outlets;
[0041] 10. By setting up a medicine storage tank, medicines can be stored, making it convenient to add medicines through a medicine volume control device;
[0042] 11. By installing a peristaltic pump, water in the reaction tank can be pumped into a water quality analyzer for testing, facilitating the collection and detection of residual chlorine data. Attached Figure Description
