Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food and chemical wastewater treatment equipment, and more specifically, to a pre-processing high-efficiency nitrogen and phosphorus removal device. Background Technology

[0002] Soy protein isolate is made from dehulled, defatted, cold-pressed soybean cake or low-temperature defatted soybean meal as raw materials, through processes such as dilute alkali extraction, acid precipitation, centrifugation, and spray drying.

[0003] Soy protein isolate production process: Soybean meal → Alkali dissolution → Acid precipitation → Neutralization → Heating modification → Drying → Soy protein isolate. Low-temperature defatted soybean meal is extracted with a dilute alkaline solution. Most of the protein in the soybean meal dissolves in the dilute alkaline solution. Centrifugation is then used to remove insoluble substances such as polysaccharides and residual protein from the soybean meal. The pH of the extract is then adjusted to approximately 4.5 with acid. At this point, the protein is at its isoelectric point and coagulates and precipitates. The protein precipitate is then separated, and finally, after washing, neutralization, and drying, soy protein is obtained.

[0004] Soybean protein wastewater mainly originates from the whey water separated by centrifugation during the acid precipitation and dehydration stage of soybean protein, followed by alkaline equipment rinsing water. The main pollutants in the whey water are high concentrations of solid or soluble proteins and polysaccharides, along with small amounts of inorganic components. The BOD / COD ratio is around 0.5, and the pH ranges from 4.2 to 4.5. Although the organic matter in soybean protein wastewater is easily degraded, with a degradation efficiency of over 95% for high-carbon organic matter after treatment with anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, soybeans contain various amino acids and are rich in phosphorus, in addition to protein, fat, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. Therefore, soybean protein wastewater generated during extraction leaves behind high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants. To prevent direct discharge into natural water bodies, which could damage the environment and harm human health, chemical phosphorus removal and biological nitrogen removal processes are used in actual wastewater treatment projects. While these methods are effective, they incur high operating costs for chemicals, energy, and sludge treatment. Furthermore, the formation of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals in the anaerobic reactor easily causes pipe blockage, increasing maintenance rates, labor costs, and resulting in significant waste of nitrogen and phosphorus. Therefore, this study aims to improve the existing structure and provide a pre-treatment high-efficiency nitrogen and phosphorus removal device for greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) In this scheme, powdered enhanced phosphorus removal agent and liquid alkali are added to the wastewater in the mixing tank through a dry powder feeder and an alkali dosing mechanism, respectively. The mixture is then thoroughly stirred, dissolved, and reacted using a stirring mechanism. The reacted wastewater is then transported to the reaction tank, where biological bacteria are used as carriers. Under a micro-aeration environment, the enhanced phosphorus removal agent ions and NH4+ in the wastewater are removed. + and PO4 3- Crystals are formed, encapsulating the microbial strains, which are free or attached to the packing material, gradually forming large crystals. This allows nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants to be separated from the water, reducing the pollution of the wastewater.

It can be greenly degraded in the natural environment, and the nitrogen and phosphorus elements are effectively and cyclically utilized to a large extent. At the same time, it also reduces the construction investment cost of the subsequent biochemical treatment unit. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Example:

[0049] Please see Figures 1-4A pre-treatment high-efficiency nitrogen and phosphorus removal device includes a mixing tank 1, a reaction tank 2, and a sedimentation tank 3. The mixing tank 1 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 4, and an enhanced phosphorus removal agent dosing chamber 5 and an alkali dosing mechanism 6 are located outside the mixing tank 1. The reaction tank 2 is equipped with packing material 7 and multiple perforated aeration pipes 8. An aeration fan 9 is installed outside the reaction tank 2, and the outlet port of the aeration fan 9 is connected to an aeration main pipe 10. The aeration main pipe 10 is connected to the corresponding perforated aeration pipe 8 through aeration branch pipes 11. A sludge hopper 12 is installed at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3. The sludge hopper 12 can be of a shaking type and has a smooth inner wall that is not easily adhered to. A dedicated crystal discharge pump 13 is installed outside the sedimentation tank 3. The inlet of the dedicated crystal discharge pump 13 is equipped with a crushing reamer to crush large crystal nuclei. The inlet of the crystal discharge pump 13 is connected to a crystal discharge pipe 14, and one end of the crystal discharge pipe 14 extends into the sedimentation tank 3. This crystal discharge pipe 14 adopts a special inner lining pipe with a smooth inner wall to prevent the dedicated crystal discharge pump 13 and the crystal discharge pipe 14 from being blocked, thus ensuring the smooth discharge of the slow-release fertilizer crystals. During use, the mixing tank 1 and the reaction tank 2 can be made of reinforced concrete anti-corrosion structure or carbon steel anti-corrosion structure. The sedimentation tank 3 can be made of carbon steel lining structure or stainless steel structure. In addition, the perforated aeration pipe 8 and the packing 7 are designed to be liftable. When the perforated aeration pipe 8 is damaged and needs to be replaced, it can be easily removed for maintenance at any time. When there is a lot of attached material on the packing 7, it can be easily removed for cleaning at any time. The detached crystals can be used as slow-release fertilizer together with the crystals in the sedimentation tank 3.

[0050] See Figure 2 The stirring mechanism 4 includes a high-speed stirring motor 401 fixed to the top of the mixing tank 1. The output shaft of the high-speed stirring motor 401 extends into the mixing tank 1 and is connected to a high-speed stirring rod 402 via a coupling. In use, the high-speed stirring motor 401 and the high-speed stirring rod 402 work together to fully stir and dissolve the powdered enhanced phosphorus removal agent added by the dry powder feeder 15 and the liquid alkali added by the alkali dosing mechanism, ensuring full mixing and reaction of the agents.

[0051] See Figure 2 The top of the phosphorus removal agent addition bin 5 is equipped with a dry powder feeder 15, and the discharge port of the dry powder feeder 15 is connected to the inside of the mixing tank 1 through the conveying pipe 16.

[0052] See Figure 2 The alkali dosing mechanism 6 includes an alkali dosing tank 601 located outside the mixing tank 1. An alkali dosing pump 602 is connected between the alkali dosing tank 601 and the mixing tank 1. An alkali dosing stirring motor 603 is installed on the top of the alkali dosing tank 601. The output shaft of the alkali dosing stirring motor 603 extends into the alkali dosing tank 601 and is connected to an alkali dosing stirring rod 604 via a coupling.

[0053] See Figure 4A central guide pipe 17 is installed in the sedimentation tank 3. A gravity flow pipe 18 is connected to the outer periphery of the central guide pipe 17. One end of the gravity flow pipe 18 extends into the reaction tank 2. In use, the wastewater in the reaction tank 2 can be discharged into the sedimentation tank 3 for sedimentation through the cooperation of the central guide pipe 17 and the gravity flow pipe 18.

[0054] See Figure 4 An overflow weir 19 is provided on the inner side wall of the top of the sedimentation tank 3.

[0055] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A pH online monitoring instrument 20 is installed between the mixing tank 1 and the alkali dosing pump 602. The pH online monitoring instrument 20 can realize automatic control interlock function with the alkali dosing pump 602 to monitor the pH value of the mixing zone in real time. The reaction tank 2 is filled with biological bacteria 21. A power distribution box 22 is installed on the top of the enhanced phosphorus removal agent dosing tank 5.

[0056] When using the equipment: check the entire device, connect the power supply, and ensure that the entire device is operating normally;

[0057] First, the powdered enhanced phosphorus removal agent in the addition bin 5 is added to the mixing tank 1 using the dry powder feeder 15. Then, liquid alkali is added to the mixing tank 1 using the alkali dosing device 6. Next, the stirring device 4 is used to thoroughly stir and dissolve the powdered enhanced phosphorus removal agent, liquid alkali, and wastewater, so that the pH of the mixed solution is between 8.5 and 9.5. The enhanced phosphorus removal agent ion: NH4+ + :PO4 3- The molar ratio is 1:1:1. An appropriate excess of the enhanced phosphorus removal agent can be added. The mixing time is approximately 30 minutes to ensure thorough mixing and reaction of the agents. During this time, the pH online monitoring instrument 20 installed in mixing tank 1 is automatically interlocked with the alkali dosing pump 602 to monitor the pH value of the mixing zone in real time. When the pH value is below 8.5, the alkali dosing pump 602 is turned on to automatically add liquid alkali; when the pH value is above 9.5, the alkali dosing pump 602 is turned off to automatically stop adding liquid alkali, ensuring the reaction conditions. The hydraulic retention time in reaction tank 2 is 6 hours. Biological strain 21 is used as a carrier. Through the aeration blower 9, in conjunction with the main aeration pipe 10 and aeration branch pipes 11, the reaction tank 2 is kept in a micro-aeration environment. This reduces the phosphorus removal agent ions and NH4+ ions in the wastewater. + and PO4 3-Crystals are formed, encapsulating the biological strains 21, which are free or attached to the packing material 7, gradually forming large crystals. This allows nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants to be separated from the water. At the same time, the stirring effect of micro-aeration prevents the crystals from settling in the reaction tank 2. Under the guidance of the gravity flow pipe 18, they enter the sedimentation tank 3. The sedimentation tank 3 is equipped with a central guide pipe 17 and a shaking mud hopper 12 with an angle greater than 45°. The crystals settle here. Finally, the crystals are smoothly discharged using a special crystal discharge pump 13 and crystal discharge pipe 14. At this time, the crystals that fall off the packing material 7 and the crystals discharged from the sedimentation tank 3 are used together as slow-release fertilizer, realizing the harmless migration and reuse of nitrogen and phosphorus elements. They can be greenly degraded in the natural environment, and at the same time, the nitrogen and phosphorus elements are effectively and cyclically utilized to a large extent.
