Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, and in particular to an adsorption-regeneration non-condensable tail gas biological reduction system. Background Technology

[0002] Adsorption regeneration is a common process in VOCs waste gas treatment. Its principle is that when waste gas containing organic pollutants passes through a porous filter layer, pollutant molecules enter the pore structure of the adsorbent through diffusion. Due to the van der Waals forces (intermolecular forces) between the molecules and the pore walls, the pollutant molecules are adsorbed on the pore surface, thereby separating from the airflow.

[0003] Saturated filter media can be desorbed by weakening the interaction between pollutant molecules and the adsorbent through methods such as steam regeneration, hot gas regeneration, and vacuum desorption. The desorbed gas contains a large amount of pollutants. After condensation, some pollutants are discharged in liquid form, while others remain in gaseous form. This type of gas, which cannot be condensed, recovered, or disposed of, is called "non-condensable tail gas".

[0004] Non-condensable exhaust gas is a gas containing high concentrations of organic pollutants. Due to its high concentration and intermittent nature, non-condensable exhaust gas has always been a difficult point to treat in adsorption regeneration processes. Conventional processes require combustion to further purify non-condensable exhaust gas. However, due to the limitations of combustion-based waste gas treatment technology, such as significant changes in gas volume and pollutant concentration, the combustion-based waste gas treatment system can be negatively affected. This makes the use of combustion for non-condensable exhaust gas treatment not feasible and poses safety hazards. Therefore, a practical technology is needed to solve the treatment of non-condensable exhaust gas in adsorption regeneration processes. Utility Model Content

[0027] Reference Figure 1 A biological reduction system for adsorption-regeneration non-condensable tail gas includes a bio-enlargement reactor 1, an oxygenation fan 2, a biological agent dosing tank 3, and a circulating water pump 4. The bio-enlargement reactor 1 has a filter layer inside, and the surface of the filter layer is loaded with microbial communities. The oxygenation fan 2 is connected to the bottom of the bio-enlargement reactor 1 through a pipe. The biological agent dosing tank 3 is located on the top side of the bio-enlargement reactor 1. The circulating water pump 4 is connected to the inside of the bio-enlargement reactor 1 through a circulation pipeline, and a spray head is also installed at the end of the pipeline.

[0028] The bio-enlargement reactor 1 is equipped with a submerged operation zone and a non-submerged operation zone. The operation mode can be switched by valves. The submerged operation mode can improve the treatment of hydrophilic organic pollutants, while the non-submerged operation mode can improve the treatment of hydrophobic organic pollutants, thus expanding the scope of microbial treatment of organic pollutants.

[0029] In this embodiment, the filter layer inside the bio-enlargement reactor 1 is composed of bio-affinity filter material with pollutant adsorption capacity, and the filter layer has a rich porous structure. The filter layer has a rich porous structure, which can adsorb and capture pollutants, and at the same time provide a place for microorganisms to degrade pollutants. By utilizing the operating mechanism of adsorption followed by degradation, in the treatment technology of waste gas containing organic pollutants, the fixation of organic pollutants in waste gas and the biodegradation process are separated in time. Compared with the bacterial liquid containing microorganisms, the fixation capacity of the bio-enlargement reactor 1 for organic pollutants can be increased by several times to tens of times.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outlet of the oxygenation fan 2 is equipped with a gas distributor, which is located directly below the filter layer. The oxygenation fan 2 provides oxygen for the microbial activity in the reactor and provides oxygen in stages according to the total amount of pollutants in the reactor.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spray head of the circulating water pump 4 is located above the filter media layer, and the spray range of the spray head can cover 90% of the surface area of ​​the filter media layer. The circulating water pump 4 is used to achieve humidification of the filter media or homogenization of the bacterial solution in the bio-enlargement reactor 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, a backwashing unit is provided at the bottom of the bio-enlargement reactor 1. The backwashing unit includes a backwash water pump and a perforated pipe. The perforated pipe penetrates the bottom side of the bio-enlargement reactor 1 and extends to the bottom of the filter media layer. The backwash water pump draws backwash water to wash the filter media layer, which can peel off the thick biofilm layer on the surface of the filter media, restore the adsorption capacity of the filter media layer, and wait for the next non-condensable tail gas to enter.

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: When in use, the intermittent non-condensable exhaust gas is discharged into the bio-enlargement reactor 1. The bio-enlargement reactor 1 is equipped with filter media with pollutant adsorption capacity. The filter media is covered with a large number of microorganisms. The bio-filter media layer can quickly adsorb volatile organic pollutants in the non-condensable exhaust gas, thereby achieving the fixation of volatile organic pollutants in the filter media layer.

[0034] When volatile organic pollutants are degraded by submersion: the microbial-rich bacterial solution submerges the filter media in the bio-enlargement reactor 1, and then air is blown under the filter media by the oxygenation fan 2 to continuously replenish oxygen to the circulating liquid. Then, the circulating water pump 4 is used to stabilize various indicators such as microbial biomass, oxygen, and temperature in the bio-enlargement reactor 1, avoiding adverse factors such as local anaerobic environment. In the oxygen-rich environment, microorganisms use VOCs pollutants as nutrients to biochemically degrade pollutants in the filter media layer, thereby removing pollutants.

[0035] When volatile organic pollutants are degraded through non-immersion: the filter media is not immersed in the bacterial solution, and the bacterial solution rich in microorganisms is located in the water storage area at the bottom of the bio-enlargement reactor 1. The bacterial solution continuously washes the filter media through the circulating spray of the circulating water pump 4. Then, the oxygenation fan 2 introduces air and the spray liquid flows counter-currently to the filter media layer, so as to continuously replenish oxygen to the circulating liquid. In the oxygen-rich environment, microorganisms use VOCs pollutants as nutrients to biochemically degrade the pollutants in the filter media layer, thereby removing the pollutants.

[0036] Once the pollutants have been removed, a backwash water pump is used to extract backwash water to rinse the filter media layer, causing the thicker biofilm layer on the surface of the filter media to peel off, restoring the filter media layer's adsorption capacity, and preparing it for the next non-condensable exhaust gas to enter.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed.
