Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a PAC dosing device for sludge conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] During the biological treatment of wastewater, a large amount of residual sludge is generated. The water content of the residual sludge can reach over 99%, which will cause environmental harm if not treated. However, the residual sludge also contains a large amount of organic matter, which is a reusable resource. However, due to the high water content of the residual sludge, it needs to be dewatered during the treatment process. But due to the characteristics of the residual sludge, dewatering is difficult during the treatment process. The current conventional method is to condition the residual sludge before dewatering to improve its settling and dewatering performance.

[0003] PAC (polyaluminum chloride) is commonly used in sludge conditioning. During the addition of PAC, stirring is used to ensure that PAC is evenly dispersed in the sludge conditioning tank, thereby conditioning the sludge. Generally speaking, the dispersion effect of PAC in the sludge conditioning tank directly affects the conditioning effect and efficiency of the sludge. Existing PAC is generally added directly, followed by stirring to ensure that PAC is evenly dispersed. However, even dispersion takes a long time, which can lead to a decrease in conditioning efficiency and an increase in reagent consumption.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a PAC dosing device for sludge conditioning. By pre-mixing and increasing the water volume before spraying, PAC can be dispersed more quickly in the sludge conditioning tank, thus facilitating the rapid and efficient function of PAC and playing a positive role in improving treatment efficiency. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Embodiments of this utility model:

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, a PAC storage tank 1 is provided, and a first liquid inlet 11 and a first liquid outlet 12 are provided on the PAC storage tank 1. The first liquid outlet 12 is connected to a first conveying pipe 2, which extends to the bottom of the interior of the PAC storage tank 1. In this embodiment, the PAC storage tank 1 is a horizontal storage tank, which may be buried underground, etc.

[0022] A first delivery pump 22 is installed on the first delivery pipe 2, and a first control valve 21 is installed at the front end of the first delivery pump 22. The first delivery pump 22 and the first control valve 21 are used interchangeably. The first delivery pipe 2 is connected to the PAC addition tank 3.

[0023] A second liquid inlet 31 and a water inlet 32 ​​are provided above the PAC addition tank 3, and a second liquid outlet 33 is provided below the PAC addition tank 3. The second liquid inlet 31 is connected to the first conveying pipe 2, the water inlet 32 ​​is connected to the water inlet pipe 4, and the second liquid outlet 33 is connected to the second conveying pipe 5. In this embodiment, the PAC addition tank 3 is a vertical storage tank with a stirrer provided above it. Commercially available PAC can be diluted to a certain extent in the PAC addition tank 3 according to the production process, and then discharged through the second conveying pipe 5.

[0024] A second delivery pump 51 is provided on the second delivery pipe 5, and a second control valve 52 is provided at the front end of the second delivery pump 51. The second control valve 52 and the second delivery pump 51 are used interchangeably. In this embodiment, the second delivery pump 51 can be a peristaltic pump.

[0025] The second conveying pipe 5 extends to the sludge conditioning tank and is connected to the third conveying pipe 6 via a tee. A third conveying pump 61 is installed on the third conveying pipe 6, a third control valve 62 is installed at the front end of the third conveying pipe 6, and a check valve 63 is installed at the rear end of the third conveying pipe 6. In this embodiment, the third conveying pump 61 pumps the sewage in the sludge conditioning tank into the second conveying pipe 5 and premixes it with the PAC in the second conveying pipe 5.

[0026] At the end of the second delivery pipe 5, it is connected to the dosing pipe 7 via a flange. The outlet of the dosing pipe 7 extends to below the liquid surface of the sludge conditioning tank. The dosing pipe 7 includes a straight pipe section 71. A connecting flange 72 is provided above the straight pipe section 71, and it is connected to the second delivery pipe 5 via the connecting flange 72. A horizontal arc-shaped bend section 73 is provided below the straight pipe section 71. A bell mouth 74 is provided behind the arc-shaped bend section 73. The effluent after mixing PAC flows out tangentially from the outlet of the arc-shaped bend section 73.

[0027] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] In use, the commercially available PAC in the PAC storage tank 1 is pumped into the PAC addition tank 3. In actual production, multiple PAC addition tanks 3 can be arranged in parallel (each is independently controlled by a valve). On the one hand, if there are multiple sludge conditioning tanks, different tanks can be adapted; on the other hand, when the PAC in one PAC addition tank 3 is finished, it can be switched to another PAC addition tank 3.

[0029] According to actual production needs, PAC is diluted to a suitable concentration by adding a certain amount of water to PAC addition tank 3. For example, if 10% liquid PAC is purchased from the market, and a concentration of about 5% is required in production, it can be diluted to a certain extent. During the process, a certain amount of water can be metered and added. The addition of water can be done by metering pump or flow meter, etc., which will not be elaborated further. The stirrer can make PAC and water mix evenly.

[0030] The PAC in the PAC addition tank 3 is metered and transported to the sludge conditioning tank by a peristaltic pump. During the transportation process, water from the tank is added to the transportation pipeline, which not only premixes the PAC but also increases the total water volume (the amount of PAC added is generally small), so that the water after mixing the PAC can be sprayed out from the end of the dosing pipe 7.

[0031] In actual production, the funnel 74 at the end of the dosing pipe is partially or completely below the liquid surface of the sludge sedimentation tank (if it is completely below the liquid surface, it is 0-5cm below the liquid surface). This allows the PAC in the effluent from the dosing pipe 7 to disperse quickly in the water, which helps the PAC to work quickly and efficiently.
