AI Technical Summary
In existing wastewater treatment systems, the total nitrogen content of high-concentration organic wastewater has not been effectively reduced, leading to eutrophication of water bodies and environmental pollution. Furthermore, general aerobic treatment processes only convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen, failing to completely solve the problem of total nitrogen emissions.
An underground circular reinforced concrete reactor is adopted, equipped with a circulating mixing aeration device. The circulating mixing aeration device promotes the mixing of wastewater and alkaline solution, reduces the total nitrogen concentration and COD residual value at the same time, and achieves efficient mixing by using a booster pump and compressed air intake pipeline.
It effectively reduces the total nitrogen concentration and COD residual value in wastewater, improves the stability and efficiency of the treatment system, reduces treatment costs, and provides a stable treatment guarantee for subsequent processes.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a treatment system for reducing total nitrogen in high-concentration organic wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] High levels of total nitrogen (TNi) are often found in industrial wastewater treatment systems, and TNi is a crucial indicator in wastewater. When TNi emissions from industrial wastewater exceed standards, it severely pollutes the surrounding environment, significantly impacting rivers, lakes, and oceans. It destroys the habitats of aquatic life, reducing or even eliminating rare species. It also harms human health; severe TNi pollution leads to eutrophication, increasing the proliferation of algae and other microorganisms, producing harmful substances such as cyanobacteria, resulting in elevated toxin levels in the water. This threatens health issues such as cancer, encephalitis, gastrointestinal diseases, and the development of the central nervous system in infants. Prolonged discharge and inappropriate treatment can severely pollute surrounding land, impacting ecosystems and people's lives and livelihoods. Therefore, reducing TNi emissions from high-concentration organic wastewater is essential for preventing eutrophication, controlling algal growth, reducing harmful substance formation, and protecting the ecological environment and human health. In typical aerobic wastewater treatment processes, ammonia nitrogen is simply converted into nitrate nitrogen for discharge, but the total nitrogen content is not reduced, and the total nitrogen is not removed. This fails to alleviate environmental problems such as eutrophication of water bodies and therefore does not achieve the desired harmless treatment effect. Utility Model Content
