Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular relates to a wastewater treatment system. Background Technology
[0002] In the wastewater treatment process, wastewater enters a biological treatment tank after passing through a pretreatment unit. Bacterial cultures are added to the biological treatment tank for further purification. In northern regions, especially during winter, the temperature of the wastewater entering the biological treatment tank after pretreatment is relatively low, typically around 7°C. The activity of the bacterial cultures in the biological treatment tank is relatively weak at low temperatures, resulting in a slower purification rate.
[0003] The bacteria exhibit the strongest activity and the fastest purification speed in the biological treatment tank at 15℃-20℃. Heating the wastewater in the biological treatment tank can effectively solve this problem.
[0004] In existing technologies, the heating technology for sewage in biological treatment tanks mostly involves installing heat exchange coils inside the biological treatment tank, and passing hot water or steam through the coils for indirect heat exchange; or drawing sewage out of the biological treatment tank, indirectly heating it through a heat exchanger, and then injecting it back into the biological treatment tank.
[0005] The wastewater in the biological treatment tank contains many impurities, most of which are corrosive. The heat exchange coils installed inside the biological treatment tank or the heat exchangers outside the tank are easily corroded and fouled, which seriously affects the service life and heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchangers. At the same time, heat exchange coils and indirect heat exchangers are indirect heat exchange equipment, and there is a heat exchange temperature difference, so the heating efficiency is lower than that of direct heating. Summary of the Invention

The sedimentation tank is located downstream of the biological treatment tank, and pipe B is installed downstream of the sedimentation tank.

The compressor and the throttling valve are connected to the condenser and the evaporator via a refrigerant pipeline to form a refrigerant circuit. The wastewater treatment system also includes a pipe C, one end of which is connected to pipe B, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the evaporator. The wastewater treatment system also includes a pipe D, one end of which is connected to pipe C, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the condenser. The wastewater treatment system also includes a mixing tank, located upstream of the biological treatment tank, which is connected to the biological treatment tank via pipe E. The outlet of the condenser is connected to the mixing tank via pipe F.
[0009] Furthermore, valve A is installed on the pipeline B.
[0010] Furthermore, a valve B is installed on the pipeline C, and the valve B is located between the pipeline D and the pipeline B.

[0013] Furthermore, the wastewater treatment system also includes a pipeline G, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the evaporator, and the other end of which is connected to the pipeline B. The other end of the pipeline G is located between the valve A and the post-treatment device.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature of the wastewater in pipe C and pipe D is 12°C.
[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the sewage in the pipeline F is 28°C.
[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] The wastewater treatment system also includes pipe D13, one end of which is connected to pipe C12, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of condenser 9.
[0028] The wastewater treatment system also includes a mixing tank 3, which is located upstream of the biological treatment tank 1 and is connected to the biological treatment tank 1 via pipeline E14.

[0030] The wastewater treatment system also includes a post-treatment device 4, which is located downstream of the sedimentation tank 2 and is connected to the sedimentation tank 2 via pipeline B11.
[0031] The wastewater treatment system also includes pipe G16, one end of which is connected to the outlet of evaporator 6, and the other end of which is connected to pipe B11. A valve A21 is also installed on pipe B11, and the other end of pipe G16 is located between valve A21 and the after-treatment device 4.
[0032] The wastewater treatment system also includes a pretreatment device 5, which is located upstream of the mixing tank 3. The pretreatment device 5 and the mixing tank 3 are connected by a pipeline H17.
[0033] A valve B 22 is installed on pipeline C12, and the valve B 22 is located between pipeline D13 and pipeline B11.
[0034] Valve C23 is installed on pipeline D13.
[0035] The temperature of the wastewater in biological treatment tank 1 is 15℃.
[0036] The temperature of the sewage in pipes C12 and D13 is 12℃.
[0037] The temperature of the sewage in pipe F15 is 28℃.
[0038] A pipeline I18 is installed upstream of the pretreatment device 5. The pipeline I18 is connected to the pretreatment device 5, and the wastewater to be treated enters the pretreatment device 5 through the pipeline I18.
[0039] Downstream of the post-treatment device 4, there is a pipeline J19 connected to the post-treatment device 4, and the greywater discharged from the post-treatment device 4 is discharged through the pipeline J19.
[0040] The wastewater treatment system also includes pipe K 20, which is located below the sedimentation tank 2 and is connected to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 2. The sludge deposited at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 2 is discharged through pipe K 20.
[0041] The process of treating sewage using the sewage treatment system of this utility model is described in detail below:
[0042] In winter, wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant in the north enters the pretreatment unit 5 through pipeline I18. The temperature of the wastewater after pretreatment in the pretreatment unit 5 is approximately 5°C. Valve A 21 is closed, and valves B 22 and C 23 are opened. The wastewater treated in the biological treatment tank 1 enters the sedimentation tank 2 through pipeline A10. The temperature of the wastewater in the biological treatment tank 1, pipeline A10, and sedimentation tank 2 is approximately 12°C. After the wastewater flows out of the sedimentation tank 2, part of the wastewater flows into pipeline B11 and then into the evaporator 6 through pipeline C12. At the same time, another part of the wastewater flows into the condenser 9 through pipeline D13. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the wastewater in the evaporator 6, and the wastewater temperature drops to about 5°C before being discharged into the post-treatment device 4 through pipe G16. After being compressed by the compressor 7, the refrigerant condenses and releases heat in the condenser 9, heating the wastewater at about 12°C after biochemical treatment that enters the condenser 9 through pipe D13. The wastewater at about 28°C after biochemical treatment, after being heated by the condenser 9, enters the mixing tank 3 through pipe F15. At the same time, the wastewater at about 5°C, which enters the pretreatment device 5 through pipe I18 and is pretreated by the pretreatment device 5, enters the mixing tank 3 through pipe H17. The wastewater entering the mixing tank 3 through pipe F15 and the wastewater entering the mixing tank 3 through pipe H17 are mixed in the mixing tank 3, and the temperature of the mixture is raised to about 15°C. The heated wastewater then enters the biochemical tank 1 through pipe E14.
[0043] Open valve C 23, and the sewage in sedimentation tank 2 will directly enter the post-treatment device 4.
[0044] After a period of time, valve D (not shown in the figure) installed on pipeline K 20 is opened, and the sludge deposited at the bottom of sedimentation tank 2 is discharged through pipeline K 20.
[0045] The wastewater treatment system of this invention effectively improves the shortcomings of the traditional method where wastewater at 5°C directly enters the biological treatment tank 1, resulting in weak activity and reproduction of bacteria at this temperature and long wastewater treatment time.
[0046] The heat pump recirculates and heats the biochemically treated wastewater. The heated wastewater is then mixed with the pretreated wastewater in mixing tank 3 for direct heating. This direct heating method eliminates the need for heat exchange coils or heat exchangers in the heat exchange system, reducing equipment investment and eliminating the technical defects of heat exchange coil corrosion and fouling that weaken heat exchange, as well as the problem of low heat exchange efficiency in indirect heat exchange.
