[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically a wastewater treatment system for car washes at garbage transfer stations. [Background Technology]
[0002] The wastewater from car washes at garbage transfer stations has a complex composition, containing high concentrations of suspended solids, organic matter, grease, heavy metals, and pathogenic microorganisms. It also exhibits large pH fluctuations and high levels of ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus.
[0003] In practical applications, to address these challenges, the commonly used method in recent years is: equalization tank + No. 1 sedimentation tank + acidification + bioreactor + No. 2 sedimentation tank, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown; specifically, after being filtered by a screen to remove large particles, the wastewater enters the equalization tank. The effluent from the equalization tank enters the No. 1 physicochemical processor to remove suspended solids and some organic matter. The effluent from the physicochemical processor enters the acidifier, where facultative anaerobic bacteria decompose large molecules and difficult-to-degrade organic matter in the wastewater into small molecules and easily degradable organic matter. The effluent from the acidifier enters the bioreactor, where most of the organic matter in the wastewater is removed by the carbonization of microorganisms, and most of the ammonia nitrogen is removed by the nitrification and denitrification of microorganisms. The effluent from the bioreactor enters the No. 2 physicochemical processor to remove color and some organic matter, and the effluent from the No. 2 physicochemical processor meets the standards for discharge into the municipal sewer system.
[0004] However, this treatment process requires a large amount of chemicals, produces a large amount of sludge, has unstable effluent quality, is complex to operate, has a high overall investment, and occupies a large area. [Utility Model Content]

Shock absorbers are arranged at the rear ends of the first DTRO high-pressure piston pump and the second DTRO high-pressure piston pump.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this invention replaces the traditional process of sedimentation tank #1 + acidification + bioreactor + sedimentation tank #2 with an air flotation + two-stage DTRO system, greatly reducing the footprint, reducing the amount of chemicals needed, lowering the skill requirements for operation and maintenance personnel, and enabling one-button start / stop functionality.

[0023] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:
[0024] The utility model adopts oil separation + air flotation + two-stage DTRO system, wherein the DTRO concentrated water is transported to a waste incineration plant for incineration treatment, and the DTRO produced water is discharged up to standard.
[0025] The car washing wastewater first enters the oil separation tank to remove most of the oil substances, the oil separation tank outlet water enters the air flotation device to further remove the oil substances, and the air flotation outlet water enters the raw water tank; while the wastewater enters the raw water tank, the acid is added from the acid storage tank to adjust the pH value; at the same time, the acid stirring pump starts to work to mix the backflow, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the pH value; the pH value sensor is arranged on the system raw liquid storage tank backflow pipeline, the PLC judges the raw water pH value and automatically adjusts the frequency of the metering pump to adjust the acid adding amount, so that the pH value of the raw liquid before entering the reverse osmosis reaches 6.1-6.5; if the raw water pH value is within this range, no acid adjustment is needed. The sand filter is pumped into the sand filter through the sand filter booster pump, the sand filter is designed as one, the filtration precision is 50um, and the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the sand filter are both provided with pressure gauges, so that the backwashing program must be executed when the pressure difference exceeds 1.5 bar.
[0026] The membrane system is two-stage DTRO, the first-stage DTRO needs to enter water from the core filter, and the second-stage DTRO processes the first-stage permeated water.
[0027] The sand filtered water supplies the first DTRO device, which first enters a core filter. The core filter further removes suspended solids in the wastewater. The device is equipped with a core filter set, and the inlet and outlet ends are provided with pressure sensors to automatically detect the pressure difference. When the pressure difference exceeds 2.0 bar, the system prompts to replace the filter core. The core filter has a filtering accuracy of 10 μm, which provides the last protective barrier for the membrane column. In order to prevent the scaling phenomenon caused by high concentration of various insoluble sulfates and silicates in the membrane module, and effectively prolong the service life of the membrane, a certain amount of scale inhibitor needs to be added before the first DTRO membrane. The addition amount is determined according to the concentration of insoluble salt in the raw water.
[0028] The percolate after the core filter directly enters the high-pressure plunger pump of the first DTRO. Each plunger pump of the DT membrane system is provided with a shock absorber at the rear end to absorb the pressure pulse generated by the high-pressure pump and provide a stable pressure for the membrane column. The water after the high-pressure pump enters the membrane module. The membrane module uses a disc tube type reverse osmosis membrane column, which has strong anti-pollution and strong adaptability to wastewater, and the membrane life is extended to more than 3 years. The first reverse osmosis system is provided with one section. In order to ensure sufficient flow rate and cross-flow velocity on the membrane surface, and to avoid membrane pollution, a circulating pump is arranged before the membrane module. The high-pressure and high-flow water flowing out of the circulating pump directly enters the membrane column. The water outlet of the membrane column set is divided into two parts: the first concentrated liquid and the first permeate. The concentrated liquid end is provided with a servo motor controlled valve for controlling the pressure in the membrane group to produce the necessary water recovery rate. The first permeate enters the second high-pressure pump for further processing by the second DTRO. The first concentrated liquid is discharged into the concentrated liquid tank and transported to the incineration plant for incineration disposal.
[0029] The second DTRO is used for further processing of the first DTRO permeate. The permeate after the first DT membrane system processing does not need to add any reagent and is directly sent to the second DT membrane system high-pressure pump. There is no need to set a buffer tank between the first and second levels. The system flow is automatically matched during operation. The second high-pressure pump is provided with a frequency conversion control. The running frequency and output flow of the second high-pressure pump will be automatically matched according to the feedback value of the first permeate flow sensor. At the same time, the inlet pipeline of the second high-pressure pump is provided with a concentrated liquid self-compensation, so that the operation of the second system is not affected by the water production of the first system. Since the pollutant concentration of the second DTRO inlet water has been greatly reduced, the membrane surface filtration velocity requirement is low, and the recovery rate is relatively high. Therefore, the second reverse osmosis does not need an online booster pump, and only a high-pressure pump can meet the requirements.
[0030] The second DTRO concentrated liquid end is also provided with a servo motor controlled valve for controlling the pressure and recovery rate in the membrane group. The second DTRO concentrated liquid is much better than the raw water, so it is discharged to the inlet of the first system and combined with the first DTRO inlet water for processing, which improves the recovery rate of the system. The second DTRO permeate is discharged into the degassing tower.
[0031] The degassing and pH value adjustment of the clean water. Because the wastewater contains certain dissolved gas, the reverse osmosis membrane can remove the dissolved ions but cannot remove the dissolved gas, which can cause the pH value of the water produced by the reverse osmosis membrane to be slightly lower than the discharge requirement. After the dissolved acid gas in the permeate is removed by the degassing tower, the pH value can be significantly increased to more than 6.0. If the pH value of the clean water after the degassing tower is still lower than the discharge requirement, the system will automatically add a small amount of alkali to adjust the pH value to the discharge requirement. Because the effluent is degassed by the degassing tower, only a small amount of alkali needs to be added to meet the discharge requirement. The pH value adjustment of the effluent is carried out in the clean water tank, and a pH value sensor is installed in the clean water discharge pipe. The PLC judges the pH value of the effluent and automatically adjusts the frequency of the metering pump to adjust the amount of alkali added, so that the pH value of the effluent meets the discharge requirement.
