[0037] Figure 1 The structure schematic view of the activated sludge system provided by the first embodiment of the utility model.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 The first embodiment of the utility model provides an activated sludge system, comprising:
[0039] Pretreatment pool 10, primary sedimentation tank 20, aeration tank 30, secondary sedimentation tank 40 and control device 60;
[0040] Wherein, the pretreatment pool 10 is used to remove the large solid and suspended matter in wastewater;Specifically, for example, a grid can be embedded in the pretreatment pool 10 to intercept most of the solid and suspended matter, preventing these solids from causing blockage or damage to subsequent treatment equipment;Preferably, the grid can also be a coarse grid and a fine grid arranged in sequence according to the water flow direction, through the coarse grid to remove the large particles in the wastewater, and then through the fine grid to remove the small particles and suspended matter in the wastewater, thereby better removing the large solid and suspended matter in the wastewater;Preferably, an aeration device for pre-aeration and stirring is arranged at the bottom of the pretreatment pool, wherein pre-aeration can increase the dissolved oxygen concentration in the wastewater, which is beneficial to the aerobic respiration of microorganisms in the subsequent activated sludge, thereby decomposing organic matter.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the pretreatment pool 10 can be composed of a grid pool and a conditioning pool, the grid pool is used to remove the large solid and floating matter in wastewater, after the wastewater treated by the grid pool is discharged to the flocculation tank, a flocculating agent can be added to the flocculation tank, and the flocculating agent is uniformly stirred for a period of time, so that the flocculating agent can be uniformly dispersed in the flocculation tank through stirring, thereby more fully contacting the small impurities / particles in the wastewater, improving the efficiency of flocculation, and further removing smaller particles and floating matter in the wastewater.
[0042] The primary sedimentation tank 20 flocculates fine solids into larger particles by natural settling, and removes settleable solids and floatables, thereby reducing the load on subsequent treatment facilities. Furthermore, the primary sedimentation tank 20 can also function to adjust water quality and homogenize the water, by storing and mixing wastewater from different times and different sources, thereby making the water quality in the primary sedimentation tank 20 uniform and reducing the impact of water quality changes on subsequent systems. The primary sedimentation tank 20 is connected to the pretreatment tank 10 by a first transfer conduit. Preferably, a first control valve is provided on the first transfer conduit, thereby achieving control of water flow and sludge flow. The first control valve can be a gate valve, a butterfly valve, a ball valve, a sludge discharge valve, etc.
[0043] The aeration tank 30 contains activated sludge, which can be formed by repeatedly aerating and resting organic wastewater. The activated sludge can contain microorganisms such as aerobic bacteria or protozoa, and dissolved organic matter. The microorganisms in the activated sludge can be selected from species that can metabolize organic matter, such as Didinium, Amoeboide, Nematode, or aerobic bacteria (e.g., Zoogloea). The organic matter can be, for example, surfactants, phenol-containing organic compounds, biphenyl, diphenol compounds, cyclic or long-chain organic compounds such as ethylene oxide derivatives (EOD), etc.
[0044] The aeration tank 30 introduces air into the wastewater through an oxygen supply device, providing sufficient oxygen supply for the microorganisms in the wastewater. This is crucial for the growth and metabolism of aerobic microorganisms, and sufficient oxygen supply not only meets the respiratory needs of microorganisms, but also promotes the growth and reproduction of microorganisms; microorganisms proliferate continuously in the aeration tank 30, forming activated sludge, which has strong adsorption and decomposition capacity and can further remove organic matter and other pollutants in wastewater; and the microorganisms in the aeration tank 30 can obtain energy and nutrients by decomposing organic matter, which helps to convert organic matter into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide, water and biomass; through aeration, the activity of microorganisms is enhanced, thereby improving the degradation efficiency of organic matter. The aeration tank 30 is connected to the primary sedimentation tank 20 by a second conveying pipe; preferably, a second control valve is provided on the second conveying pipe to control the flow of water and sludge, which can be a gate valve, butterfly valve, ball valve, etc.; the aeration tank 30 is provided with a first sampler for obtaining activated sludge samples in the aeration tank 30; preferably, the first sampler is located at a position where activated sludge samples at the end of the aeration tank can be obtained, for example, at the end of the aeration tank. Preferably, the oxygen supply device can also be a device that introduces air into wastewater, such as by mechanical or gas injection.
[0045] The secondary sedimentation tank 40 is used for sludge-water separation of wastewater treated by the aeration tank 30; in the secondary sedimentation tank 40, due to gravity, activated sludge with higher density settles to the bottom of the tank to form a sludge layer, while clear water flows out through an outlet device (such as an overflow weir) for discharge or further use. This process ensures that the suspended solids content of the effluent meets the requirements and is the last key link in wastewater treatment; in addition to sludge-water separation, as activated sludge gradually deposits at the bottom of the secondary sedimentation tank, the sludge layer thickens, and the sludge concentration increases; the concentrated sludge can be returned to the biological treatment section for further treatment, or further treatment and disposal. This process helps to reduce the volume of sludge and reduce treatment costs; based on this, the bottom of the secondary sedimentation tank 40 is connected to the bottom of the aeration tank 30 by a return pipe to return part of the sludge to the aeration tank 30; preferably, a check valve is provided on the return pipe connected to the bottom of the aeration tank 30.
[0046] Moreover, the secondary sedimentation tank 40 can also serve as a place to store activated sludge. When the inflow or water quality changes, the activated sludge in the secondary sedimentation tank 40 can act as a buffer to ensure stable operation of the system. This helps to cope with sudden changes in water quality or water quantity and improves the flexibility and stability of the entire activated sludge system.
[0047] The second sedimentation tank 40 is communicated with the aeration tank 30 through a third conveying pipe; preferably, a third control valve is arranged on the third conveying pipe to control the flow of water and sludge, and the third control valve can be a gate valve, a butterfly valve, a ball valve or the like; the second sedimentation tank 40 is provided with a second sampler; the second sampler is used for sampling effluent water from the second sedimentation tank 40;
[0048] The discharge device 50 is used for discharging wastewater in the second sedimentation tank 40; specifically, the discharge device 50 can be a sludge pump / water pump or the like, which is used for timely discharging excess sludge / water generated in the above treatment process; in a preferred embodiment, the discharge device 50 can also be connected with various parts (for example, the pretreatment tank 10, the primary sedimentation tank 20, the aeration tank 30, the second sedimentation tank 40 and the like) of the activated sludge system through a series of pipes and valves, so as to ensure that sludge can be smoothly discharged from the various treatment tanks.
[0049] The control device 60 controls the second sampler to sample effluent water from the second sedimentation tank 40 after the first sampler samples activated sludge from the aeration tank 30 for a preset time; the preset time is the time for wastewater to flow from the sampling point of the first sampler to the sampling point of the second sampler; through the setting of the control device 60, the corresponding activated sludge sample and the effluent water sample can be synchronously sampled, that is, the activated sludge sample and the effluent water sample are corresponding; thus, the water quality information detected subsequently can match the activated sludge condition in the current sedimentation tank of the water quality sample, so that more comprehensive analysis can be performed when needed, and thus reasonable regulation and control of adverse conditions can be realized.
