Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment systems that improve clarification effects, and in particular to a wastewater treatment system that improves clarification effects. Background Technology

[0002] Limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology is widely used due to its high desulfurization efficiency, high reliability, strong adaptability to different coal types, abundant absorbent resources, comprehensive utilization of by-products, and mature process. The desulfurization wastewater system, as a crucial link in the later stages of the desulfurization process, has a significant impact on the entire system. Insufficient output or substandard effluent quality of the wastewater system will affect the normal operation of the desulfurization system. Currently, the most common wastewater system is the three-tank process. After the desulfurization wastewater is transported to the three-tank, lime slurry is continuously added via metering pumps while being continuously stirred by an agitator in the neutralization tank, thus reducing the Fe3+ in the wastewater. + (Iron), Zn2 + (zinc), Cu2 + (copper), Ni2 + (lithium), Cr3 + Heavy metal ions such as chromium form hydroxide precipitates. At this point, most heavy metal ions in the wastewater form insoluble hydroxides. In the neutralization tank, most heavy metal ions precipitate as hydroxides, and most Pb2+ precipitates out. + (lead), Hg2 + Mercury remains in the wastewater in ionic form. Organic sulfur is added to the reaction tank to react with Pb2. + Hg2 +The reaction forms insoluble sulfides. After chemical precipitation in the neutralization tank, reaction tank, and flocculation tank, the desulfurization wastewater contains many dispersed particles and colloidal substances. Therefore, a flocculant is added to the flocculation tank to cause them to agglomerate into larger particles. A high-molecular-weight polyelectrolyte is added as a coagulant aid at the outlet of the flocculation tank, which gradually transforms the fine flocs into larger, more easily deposited flocs, while also causing the flocs in the wastewater to settle. The flocculated wastewater overflows from the flocculation tank into a clarifier and thickener for clarification and concentration. The flocs settle at the bottom of the tank to form sludge, while the upper part is clean water. The sludge is sent to the sludge dewatering system for treatment, and the upper clean water overflows into a clear water collection tank. Wastewater that meets the standards is discharged through a clear water transfer pump. When the solid content and water volume entering the clarifier are too high, and the depth and volume of the clarifier are insufficient to settle the suspended solids in time, the quality of the purified water overflowing into the clear water collection tank may not meet the discharge requirements, resulting in excessive wastewater discharge or the need to treat the purified water again, increasing treatment costs and significantly reducing the output of the wastewater system. In order to improve the sedimentation effect of the clarifier, some have removed the original clarifier and replaced it with a larger volume clarifier, but this greatly increases the investment cost, and some sites do not have the conditions to replace it with a larger volume clarifier due to the limited space in the wastewater system area. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wastewater treatment system that improves the clarification effect, thereby enhancing the clarification effect and effluent quality of wastewater.

[0004] This utility model provides a wastewater treatment system for improving clarification effect, including a wastewater triplet tank, a clarifier / concentrator, and a clean water collection tank. The clarifier / concentrator is connected to the top of the end side of the wastewater triplet tank, and the clean water collection tank is connected to the top of the side of the clarifier / concentrator. An inlet pipe is installed inside the clarifier / concentrator, and a baffle / efficiency-enhancing component is provided between the inlet pipe and the inner wall of the clarifier / concentrator. The baffle / efficiency-enhancing component includes a bottom inlet and a top outlet, and the bottom inlet and the top outlet are connected by a tortuous baffle channel.

[0005] Furthermore, the flow-deflecting efficiency-enhancing component includes multiple annular bent plates sequentially arranged radially along the water inlet pipe, with the flow-deflecting channel formed between every two annular bent plates.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned annular bent plates includes at least two annular baffles.

[0007] Furthermore, the baffle efficiency improvement component also includes a purging pipeline connected to an external compressed air source. The purging pipeline includes multiple purging branch pipes that extend into the interior of the baffle channel. The ends of the purging branch pipes are provided with nozzles for purging the annular bent plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a filter screen is provided inside the deflection channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the included angle between any two vertically connected and fixed baffles is less than 180°.

[0010] Furthermore, the wastewater triplet includes a neutralization tank, a reaction tank, and a flocculation tank connected in sequence, and each of the neutralization tank, reaction tank, and flocculation tank is equipped with a stirrer.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the clean water collection tank is provided with a drain pipe, a drain pump is provided on the drain pipe, and a return pipe is provided on the drain pipe, which is connected to the inlet end of the neutralization tank.

[0012] Furthermore, valves are provided on both sides of the return pipe on the drain pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle plate is provided with protrusions perpendicular to the water flow direction.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By installing a baffle-type efficiency-enhancing component within the clarifier, a tortuous baffle channel is established between the bottom inlet and the top outlet, significantly altering the water flow path. When wastewater flowing from the wastewater triplet enters the clarifier, the baffle channel continuously changes the water flow velocity and direction, extending the residence time of the wastewater within the concentrator. This allows flocculants more opportunities to collide, aggregate, and settle. Compared to traditional treatment methods, this solution effectively addresses situations with high solids content and water volume entering the clarifier. Even under conditions of limited depth and volume in the clarifier, it significantly improves sedimentation efficiency, preventing substandard water quality from overflowing into the clear water collection tank, reducing wastewater discharge exceeding standards and requiring secondary treatment. This lowers treatment costs and increases the output of the wastewater system. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to dismantle the existing clarifier and replace it with a larger capacity unit, cleverly solving the problem of limited space on-site where equipment replacement is not feasible.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a wastewater treatment system for improving clarification effect, including a wastewater triplet tank 1, a clarifier / concentrator 2, and a clean water collection tank 4. The wastewater triplet tank 1 includes a neutralization tank 101, a reaction tank 102, and a flocculation tank 103 connected in sequence. Each of the neutralization tank 101, reaction tank 102, and flocculation tank 103 is equipped with a stirrer. The clarifier / concentrator 2 is connected to the top of the side of the flocculation tank 103, and the clean water collection tank is connected to the top of the side of the clarifier / concentrator 2. The bottom of the clean water collection tank is equipped with a drain pipe 5, a drain pump 6 is installed on the drain pipe 5, and a return pipe 7 is installed on the drain pipe 5. The return pipe 7 is connected to the inlet end of the neutralization tank 101, and valves are installed on both sides of the return pipe 7 on the drain pipe 5.

[0024] The clarifier 2 has an inlet pipe inside and a sludge discharge port at the center of its bottom for discharging sludge to a sludge filter press. The bottom of the clarifier 2 gradually decreases in height from the periphery towards the sludge discharge port. A baffle assembly 3 is installed between the inlet pipe and the inner wall of the clarifier 2. The baffle assembly 3 includes multiple annular bent plates 301 arranged radially along the inlet pipe, forming a tortuous baffle channel between every two annular bent plates 301. Each baffle channel has a bottom inlet and a top outlet. Each annular bent plate 301 includes at least two vertically fixed annular baffles, with an angle of less than 180° between any two adjacent baffles. The inclined arrangement of the baffles allows the flocculents in the water to impact the baffle surface, ensuring full contact and adhesion of the flocculents.

[0025] To prevent excessive sediment buildup on the baffle plate surface from affecting wastewater flow after prolonged use, the baffle efficiency enhancement component also includes a purging pipeline 302 connected to an external compressed air source. The purging pipeline includes multiple purging branch pipes 303 extending into the interior of the baffle channel. Each branch pipe has a nozzle 304 at its end for purging the annular bent plate. Compressed air is connected to facilitate periodic manual purging. The air purging into the clarifier / concentrator 2 can also reduce COD in the wastewater to some extent. During purging, some flocculants may be carried into the upper clear water layer. Therefore, to ensure the final effluent quality from the clear water collection tank is up to standard, the wastewater can be circulated back into the triplet tank via the return pipe 7 for further treatment within a certain time after purging. The wastewater is then discharged only after it meets the required quality standards.

[0026] To enhance the blocking effect on flocculants, a filter screen can be installed in the baffle channel to block the flocculants.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the baffle plate has protrusions perpendicular to the water flow direction, and the inclined baffle plate can effectively block flocculants. An adsorption layer can be correspondingly provided on the surface of the baffle plate.

[0029] Working principle

[0030] Wastewater flows by gravity from the triplex tank into the inlet pipe of the clarifier 2. The inlet pipe is inserted to the bottom of the clarifier 2, and the wastewater flows from bottom to top. The flocculants in the desulfurization wastewater are deposited at the bottom of the clarifier 2 by gravity and concentrated into sludge, which is removed by the sludge scraper. The clean water rises to the top through the baffle assembly 3. When the wastewater containing flocculants passes through the baffle assembly 3 from bottom to top, the inertial impact of the flocculants promotes the settling of the flocculants, reduces the turbidity of the effluent from the clarifier 2, and improves the quality of the effluent. Meanwhile, during the settling of flocs, the larger the volume of water entering the clarifier 2, the faster the flow rate. The faster the flow rate, the worse the settling effect. Since the depth of the clarifier 2 is fixed, the application of baffles indirectly increases the wastewater flow distance, increases the sedimentation area, and improves the sedimentation efficiency. The baffle channel of the baffle efficiency enhancement component 3 is connected to compressed air through the purge pipe 302 to facilitate manual purging at regular intervals. The air purging into the clarifier 2 can also reduce the COD in the wastewater to some extent. During the purging, some flocs may be carried into the upper clear water layer. Therefore, in order to ensure that the final effluent from the clear water collection tank is qualified, the wastewater can be circulated into the triple tank for reprocessing through the return water pipe within a certain period after purging. The wastewater can be discharged after the water quality is qualified.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
