Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of denitrification filter, and in particular relates to a sulfur autotrophic denitrification filter with an automatic dosing system. Background Technology
[0002] The self-trophic filter media is a synthetic material, primarily composed of elemental sulfur, supplemented with substances that provide alkalinity and trace elements required by microorganisms. It is synthesized from components such as inorganic electron donors, electron conductors, bio-promoters, and activity stabilizers, replacing organic carbon sources to efficiently drive the biological denitrification process. No sludge / bacterial inoculum needs to be added during commissioning. Raw materials are controllable during production, with no release of heavy metals or organic matter, ensuring the safety of downstream river water use.
[0003] In sulfur-autotrophic denitrification filters, the filter media is consumable and requires manual replenishment after a period of operation, which is currently the norm in existing projects. However, manual replenishment is prone to uneven distribution and may also lead to risks such as lowering the liquid level or water outages.
[0004] Current technology involves manual replenishment, but due to the relatively long length of the tanks, it is believed that replenishment will cause filter media to accumulate in certain areas. Uneven addition results in an uneven filter media layer. Furthermore, the addition of filter media is uneven within each tank. Utility Model Content

[0053] An ultrasonic sensor 21 is installed at the mounting end of the vertical telescopic rod 17; the ultrasonic sensor 21 is electrically connected to the controller, the controller adopts existing PLC technology, the ultrasonic sensor 21 adopts existing technology, and the model of the ultrasonic sensor 21 is UM18-2 Core.
[0054] The denitrification filter 25 has support columns 22 on both sides of its bottom and a water collection ditch 23 at its bottom, which is connected to the denitrification filter 25. A support net 24 is provided on the water collection ditch 23. The denitrification filter 25 has a sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing layer (using existing biological packing), a packing support layer (using pebbles and quartz sand), and a support layer in sequence from top to bottom. The denitrification filter 25 has an air distribution pipe at its bottom with several air distribution holes. The support layer is a filter screen, and the air distribution pipe is located below the filter screen. The air distribution pipe is connected to an external air source through a pipe. The internal structure of the denitrification filter is based on existing technology, and it is necessary to ensure that the uppermost layer is a sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing layer.
[0055] The air distribution pipes utilize existing technology, with two air distribution pipes symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the denitrification filter 25. A water outlet pipe 26 is located on one side of the water collection ditch 23, and a water outlet valve 27 is installed on the water outlet pipe 26. The water inlet assembly includes an inlet tank 28 and a connecting pipe 29; the inlet tank 28 is connected to the upper part of the denitrification filter 25 via the connecting pipe 29, and a water pump 30 is installed on the connecting pipe 29. A filter screen 33 is installed inside the inlet tank 28.
[0056] A wastewater inlet pipe 31 is located at the top of the inlet tank 28, and a wastewater inlet valve 32 is installed on the wastewater inlet pipe 31. The wastewater inlet pipe 31 is positioned above the filter screen 33, and the connecting pipe 29 is positioned below the filter screen. After the wastewater passes through the inlet tank 28, larger impurities are removed. When the water intake stops, the wastewater inlet valve 32 is closed. The amount of filter media to be added is calculated based on the amount of nitrate nitrogen removed during operation. The liquid level is detected by an ultrasonic sensor. If the liquid level is higher than the maximum liquid level, the wastewater intake stops, and the wastewater inlet valve 32 is closed.
[0057] Feed is introduced through the inlet of auger 1. The motor of auger 1 is turned on, and the screw conveyor transports the filter media to the mixing tank. Water is then added to the mixing tank to prepare a filter media slurry. The filter media is then evenly transported to the storage tank through the main pipe 7 and branch pipe 8 by the slurry pump 9. A fixed amount is delivered to the storage tank by the slurry pump 9. After the addition is completed, the system outlet is closed, and the balance moving system moves back to its original position. At the same time, the filter media layer is detected during the movement. The output motor 15 starts to rotate, which drives the threaded rod 19 to rotate. The threaded rod 19 drives the sliding block to move along the threaded rod 19. The sliding block drives the horizontal telescopic rod 16 to move along the length of the denitrification filter 25. An ultrasonic sensor 21 is installed on the vertical telescopic rod 17 to detect the height of the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing in the denitrification filter 25. If a low filter media layer is detected at this point, the corresponding distribution valve 11 is opened. The filter media slurry enters the denitrification filter 25 under the action of gravity, replenishing the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing. At this time, the vertical telescopic rod 17 moves downward, driving the push plate 20 to move downward, so that the push plate 20 is above the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing. Then, the horizontal telescopic rod 16 starts to move, driving the push plate 20 to move along the width of the denitrification filter 25, thereby leveling the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing.
[0058] During the operation of the sulfur autotrophic filter, the filter media needs to be replenished after a period of operation. At this time, all the distribution valves 11 are opened to replenish the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing. The pushing components are operated as follows: the vertical telescopic rod 17 moves downward, driving the push plate 20 to move downward, so that the push plate 20 is above the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing. At this time, the horizontal telescopic rod 16 starts to move, driving the push plate 20 to move along the width of the denitrification filter 25, thereby pushing the sulfur autotrophic denitrification biological packing flat.
[0059] The treated wastewater can be collected in the collection ditch 23 and discharged through the outlet pipe 26 and controlled by the outlet valve 27.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
