Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sludge concentration, and in particular to a sludge concentration device. Background Technology
[0002] Wastewater treatment processes generate wastewater containing a large amount of sludge (solid impurities). This wastewater cannot be discharged directly and its solid components need to be concentrated and separated. The resulting clear water and concentrated sludge can be reused after further treatment. The volume of the concentrated sludge is significantly reduced compared to the original wastewater, thus facilitating subsequent treatment or disposal.
[0003] In existing sludge thickening devices, such as the flocculation sedimentation sludge thickening device for sewage treatment disclosed in utility model patent application number 202420101018.X, the tank body of this utility model is provided with an inner pipe and an overflow pipe. The inner pipe contains a sewage inlet pipe, a chemical dosing pipe, and an air supply pipe. The upper ends of the sewage inlet pipe, the chemical dosing pipe, and the air supply pipe all extend out of the tank body. The lower end of the chemical dosing pipe is closed, and its side wall has multiple drug delivery holes. The sewage inlet pipe and the chemical dosing pipe are both located inside the inner pipe. When sewage enters the tank body through the inner pipe, the chemical dosing pipe can pass through the drug delivery holes on its side wall. The spraying of a flocculant solution allows the flocculant components in the solution to come into full contact with solid impurities in the wastewater passing through the inner pipe, promoting rapid sedimentation of these impurities into sludge. Simultaneously, the air supply pipe, driven by an air pump, introduces air into the wastewater below the tank, agitating the water and further promoting the flocculant's effect on solid particles, accelerating sludge deposition, and improving sludge concentration and sedimentation efficiency. Furthermore, the overflow pipe inside the tank is equipped with a filter screen that continuously filters wastewater, significantly reducing impurities in the water flowing out of the overflow pipe and improving wastewater treatment efficiency.
[0004] However, during the sludge thickening process, the deposited sludge still contains a large amount of water, resulting in poor sludge thickening effect. Utility Model Content
