At the same time, aquaculture wastewater contains large amounts of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients. Effective treatment and recycling of these nutrients are crucial for the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. Traditional wastewater treatment devices suffer from poor treatment efficiency, limited filtration precision, and inconvenient maintenance, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern aquaculture for efficient wastewater treatment and resource recycling. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a wastewater filtration and treatment system for aquaculture, which solves the problems of poor treatment effect, limited filtration accuracy, and inconvenient maintenance of traditional wastewater treatment devices.
[0004] This application provides a wastewater filtration and treatment system for aquaculture, including an aquaculture pond, a coarse filtration structure, a fine filtration structure, a sterilization and disinfection structure and a purified water storage tank connected in sequence, and also includes a PLC controller.
[0005] The coarse filtration structure includes an inlet, a bar filter, and a hair filter. The hair filter is connected to an automatic backwashing device, and a first water quality monitoring sensor is installed at the outlet of the coarse filtration structure.
[0006] The fine filtration structure includes an upper activated carbon adsorption layer and a lower multi-media filtration layer. The multi-media filtration layer consists of an anthracite filter media layer, a quartz sand filter media layer, and a pebble filter media layer from top to bottom. The bottom of the coarse filtration structure and the fine filtration structure are equipped with an automatic backwashing device. A second water quality monitoring sensor is installed at the outlet of the fine filtration structure. The outlet of the fine filtration structure is connected to a sedimentation tank through a pipe. A third water quality monitoring sensor and a booster pump are installed on the pipe.
[0007] The sterilization and disinfection structure, which is an ozone generator, is installed at the outlet of the fine filter structure. An aeration head is connected to the outlet of the ozone generator, and the aeration head is connected to the purified water storage tank. A fifth water quality monitoring sensor is installed at the outlet of the ozone generator. A sixth water quality monitoring sensor and a reuse pump are installed at the outlet of the purified water storage tank. The reuse pump is connected to the aquaculture pond through a pipeline.
[0008] Preferably, the automatic backwashing device includes a flushing water pump, a flushing port, and a sludge collection tank. A sludge pump is installed at the bottom of the sludge collection tank. The sludge pump is connected to a sludge dewatering machine through a pipeline. The sludge dewatering machine is connected to a sludge collection box.
[0009] Preferably, the sedimentation tank is provided with a sludge discharge port at the bottom, which is connected to a sludge return pump through a pipe. The sludge return pump is connected to the front end of the coarse filter structure through a pipe. A fourth water quality monitoring sensor is provided at the outlet of the sedimentation tank, and the outlet of the sedimentation tank is connected to the ozone generator through a pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the fine filter structure is provided with an inspection cover and a transparent observation window.
[0011] Preferably, the backwashing pipe connected to the fine filter structure on the automatic backwashing device is equipped with a flushing water pump and a flow regulating valve.

[0013] Preferably, the PLC controller is electrically connected to various water quality monitoring sensors, the flushing water pump, the sludge pump, the lift water pump, the sludge return pump, the ozone generator, the level gauge, the reuse pump, and other equipment.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a wastewater filtration and treatment system for aquaculture. In use, aquaculture wastewater first enters the coarse filtration structure through the inlet, and then passes through the bar screen filter and hair filter in sequence to remove large particulate suspended solids, hair and other impurities from the wastewater. The first water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality after coarse filtration in real time. When the impurities on the filter screen surface accumulate to a certain extent, the automatic backwashing device is activated to backwash the filter screen. The impurities and sludge washed off are collected in the sludge collection tank. The sludge pump transports the sludge to the sludge dewatering machine for dewatering treatment. The dewatered sludge is automatically collected in the sludge collection box.
[0015] After coarse filtration, the wastewater enters the fine filtration structure. First, it passes through an activated carbon adsorption layer to adsorb organic matter, odors, and some heavy metal ions from the wastewater. Then, it passes through a multi-media filtration layer for multi-stage filtration to further remove fine particles and impurities from the wastewater. A second water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality after fine filtration in real time. A transparent observation window facilitates observation of the internal filtration process. When the filter media of the multi-media filtration layer needs backwashing, a backwashing pump sends water through the backwashing pipe from the backwashing port to backwash the filter media and restore its filtration performance. The backwash water flows back to the front end of the coarse filtration structure. A third water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality after fine filtration, and a lift pump lifts the wastewater after fine filtration to a sedimentation tank. A fourth water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality after sedimentation in real time. The sludge at the bottom of the sedimentation tank is discharged through the sludge discharge port, and some of the sludge is returned to the front end of the coarse filtration structure through a sludge return pump, realizing the recycling of sludge.
[0016] After sedimentation, the wastewater enters the sterilization and disinfection structure. The ozone generated by the ozone generator is evenly dispersed in the water through the aeration head to sterilize and disinfect the wastewater. The fifth water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality after sterilization and disinfection. The sterilized and disinfected water enters the purified water storage tank. The level gauge monitors the water level in real time. The sixth water quality monitoring sensor monitors the water quality of the purified water. The reuse pump transports the purified water back to the aquaculture pond.
