Abstract
Description
A wastewater treatment system Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a wastewater treatment system. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental standards, the requirements for wastewater discharge are becoming more demanding, especially for key indicators such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen. Various manufacturing enterprises (such as paper mills) must invest in effective wastewater treatment systems to ensure compliance with discharge standards; otherwise, they will face hefty fines and production restrictions. The stable operation of wastewater treatment systems is crucial for the sustainable development of enterprises. Against the backdrop of continuously expanding industrial production scale, wastewater generation is also constantly increasing, which requires wastewater treatment systems with higher treatment capacity and stability.
[0003] Existing wastewater treatment systems typically employ two biological treatment units to meet wastewater treatment needs. The aeration tank plays a central role within each biological treatment unit, specifically responsible for treating the wastewater generated by that unit. By allowing the aeration tanks in the two biological treatment units to operate independently, wastewater from different stages or sources can be treated more specifically, improving treatment efficiency and effectiveness. Typically, one biological treatment unit will have two aeration tanks (Aeration Tank A and Aeration Tank B), and these two aeration tanks operate independently as separate units.
[0004] However, this type of wastewater treatment system carries certain risks. A malfunction in any aeration tank can severely threaten the quality of the effluent from the entire biological treatment unit. Key indicators such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen in the effluent may fail to meet discharge standards. Current solutions for aeration tank malfunctions primarily involve reducing the influent load. This method works by decreasing the amount of wastewater entering the aeration tank, reducing the workload of the microorganisms, and allowing the microbial system and equipment within the aeration tank to recover under relatively relaxed conditions. However, because aeration tank malfunctions are complex and varied, potentially involving equipment damage, microbial community imbalance, or sudden changes in water quality, simply reducing the influent load cannot precisely target specific malfunctions for rapid repair. This makes the recovery period unpredictable, ranging from half a month to a month or even longer. During this recovery period, due to the reduced wastewater treatment capacity, companies are forced to reduce production to ensure the normal operation of the entire production process, meet effluent quality standards, and avoid environmental risks, thus impacting their profits.

[0053] Wastewater treatment systems typically include at least one biological treatment unit. The aeration tank is central to this unit, and its operation directly impacts whether the discharged water meets standards. It primarily works by introducing air into the wastewater, providing oxygen to microorganisms and promoting their decomposition and transformation of pollutants such as organic matter and nitrogen. In this process, microorganisms use oxygen to oxidize and decompose organic matter into carbon dioxide and water, while simultaneously converting ammonia nitrogen into harmless substances like nitrate nitrogen. Different aeration tanks vary in their design and function, differing in the types and quantities of microorganisms used and the treatment process, but all aim to purify wastewater.
[0054] In existing wastewater treatment systems, aeration tanks are independent, meaning each aeration tank has its own influent and effluent systems, treating wastewater from specific sources or with specific properties. For example, in a biological unit with two aeration tanks and five anaerobic reactors 30, three of the anaerobic reactors 30 supply influent to one aeration tank, and the other two supply influent to the other. When an aeration tank malfunctions due to complex reasons such as equipment damage, microbial community imbalance, or sudden changes in water quality, and cannot be quickly repaired, it will pose a significant threat to the quality of the discharged water, potentially causing key indicators such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen to exceed discharge standards. Currently, the industry's conventional technical approach to dealing with such malfunctions is to directly reduce the water flow to the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30, lowering the influent load of the aeration tank. This reduces the amount of wastewater entering the aeration tank, alleviating the metabolic pressure on the microorganisms, creating relatively relaxed conditions for equipment maintenance and microbial system recovery, thereby gradually restoring the normal treatment function of the aeration tank and ensuring that the discharged water quality meets standards. However, this method cannot precisely address specific problems, and the recovery period is difficult to control, lasting from half a month to a month or even longer, further exacerbating the contradiction between production losses and environmental risks. At the same time, this method reduces the amount of wastewater treated, requiring companies to adjust their production processes and implement measures such as production cuts, directly resulting in losses in production profits and exacerbating the contradiction between production losses and environmental risks.
[0055] Referring to Figures 1-7, to ensure the normal operation of the entire production process and the compliance of effluent quality with standards, and to avoid environmental risks, this application provides a wastewater treatment system applicable to the treatment of various types of domestic and industrial wastewater, particularly suitable for papermaking wastewater treatment. A shared influent system for aeration tanks is proposed, where multiple anaerobic reactors 30 jointly supply influent to each aeration tank. When any aeration tank malfunctions, the influent flow to that faulty tank can be reduced, while the influent flow to other normally operating aeration tanks can be increased accordingly. By dynamically balancing the load of each aeration tank, the entire wastewater treatment system can maintain efficient operation, ensuring wastewater treatment efficiency and compliance with water quality standards. This scheme, through a flexible water volume control mechanism, achieves rapid response and load balancing of the wastewater treatment system in the event of aeration tank malfunctions, ensuring production stability and improving the reliability and resilience of the wastewater treatment system.
[0056] The following describes an embodiment of a wastewater treatment system with reference to Figure 1, which includes a first biochemical unit; the first biochemical unit includes an aeration tank A10, an aeration tank B20, and several anaerobic reactors 30;
[0057] Each aeration tank A10 is provided with a first inlet pipe 101 leading to each of the anaerobic reactors 30; each aeration tank B20 is provided with a second inlet pipe 201 leading to each of the anaerobic reactors 30; each anaerobic reactor 30 is connected to the corresponding first inlet pipe 101 and second inlet pipe 201, and each first inlet pipe 101 and second inlet pipe 201 is provided with a first valve 102 and a second valve 202.
[0058] The aforementioned aeration tanks A10 and B20 independently treat wastewater from all anaerobic reactors 30 in the first biological treatment unit. Each anaerobic reactor 30 is connected to a corresponding first inlet pipe 101 and second inlet pipe 201, supplying water to aeration tanks A10 and B20 through their respective first inlet pipes 101 and second inlet pipes 201. That is:
[0059] Each anaerobic reactor 30 is provided with a first inlet pipe 101 corresponding to an aeration tank A10, which is used to transport the wastewater treated by the anaerobic reactor 30 to the aeration tank A10.
[0060] Each anaerobic reactor 30 is equipped with a second inlet pipe 201 corresponding to the aeration tank B20, which is used to transport the wastewater treated by the anaerobic reactor 30 to the aeration tank B.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first biochemical unit has three anaerobic reactors 30 (R1, R2, R3), and the connectivity is as follows:
[0062] R1 is connected to aeration tank A10 through the first inlet pipe 101 and to aeration tank B20 through the second inlet pipe 201.
[0063] R2 is connected to aeration tank A10 through the first inlet pipe 101 and to aeration tank B20 through the second inlet pipe 201.
[0064] R3 is connected to aeration tank A10 through the first inlet pipe 101 and to aeration tank B20 through the second inlet pipe 201.
[0065] A first valve 102 is installed on the first inlet pipe 101 leading to aeration tank A to control the water supply from the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30 to aeration tank A; a second valve 202 is installed on the second inlet pipe 201 leading to aeration tank B to control the water supply from the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30 to aeration tank B.
[0066] The first valve 102 and the second valve 202 are adjusted to appropriate openings according to the load of aeration tanks A10 and B20, enabling multiple anaerobic reactors 30 to supply water to aeration tanks A10 and B20 in parallel, thus distributing the treatment load. When aeration tank A malfunctions (e.g., equipment shutdown, microbial system imbalance), its influent flow needs to be reduced or cut off. The first valve 102 corresponding to aeration tank A from some or all of the anaerobic reactors 30 is closed or adjusted to reduce the water flow to aeration tank A. Simultaneously, the second valve 202 corresponding to aeration tank B from some or all of the anaerobic reactors 30 is adjusted to transfer the water originally planned for aeration tank A to aeration tank B, allowing aeration tank B to bear a greater load. The reverse is also true when aeration tank B20 malfunctions. This dynamic water allocation avoids a decrease in the overall system's treatment capacity due to a single aeration tank malfunction, ensuring that the quality of the discharged water consistently meets standards.
[0067] The anaerobic reactor 30 is connected to the first inlet pipe 101 and the second inlet pipe 201 directly or indirectly. In some embodiments, one end of each first inlet pipe 101 is connected to the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30, and the other end leads to the aeration tank A10; one end of each second inlet pipe 201 is connected to the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30, and the other end leads to the aeration tank B20. In some embodiments, the anaerobic reactor 30 is provided with a main outlet pipe corresponding to the first inlet pipe 101 and the second inlet pipe 201, and one end of the first inlet pipe 101 and the second inlet pipe 201 are respectively connected to the main outlet pipe, and the other end leads to the corresponding aeration tank A10 and aeration tank B20. Referring to Figure 1, in some embodiments, one end of each first inlet pipe 101 is connected to the corresponding second inlet pipe 201, and the other end is connected to the aeration tank A10; one end of each second inlet pipe 201 is connected to the corresponding anaerobic reactor 30, and the other end is connected to the aeration tank B20; the second valve 202 is located between the second inlet pipe 201 and the other end of the second inlet pipe 201.
[0068] The aeration tanks A10 and B20 described in this application do not limit the form in which the microorganisms exist. They can be activated sludge aeration tanks, biofilm aeration tanks (such as aerated biological filters), etc. The following description uses the activated sludge aeration tank as an example.
[0069] As shown in Figure 2, in the activated sludge aeration tank, microorganisms exist in the form of suspended activated sludge. Wastewater is mixed with activated sludge, and organic matter is degraded by aeration to supply oxygen.
[0070] Specifically, the first biochemical unit also includes a secondary sedimentation tank A40 and a sludge well A60 corresponding to the aeration tank A10, and a secondary sedimentation tank B50 and a sludge well B70 corresponding to the aeration tank B20.
[0071] The aeration tank A10 and the corresponding secondary sedimentation tank A40 are provided with a first effluent pipe 103 leading to the secondary sedimentation tank A40, so that the secondary sedimentation tank A40 receives the mixed liquor (high dissolved oxygen mixed liquor, including sewage, activated sludge, etc., hereinafter referred to as mixed liquor) discharged from the aeration tank A10, and separates the activated sludge from the clarified water through gravity sedimentation; the sludge well A60 is connected to the secondary sedimentation tank A40 to collect the activated sludge discharged from the secondary sedimentation tank A40; the sludge well A60 is provided with at least one first sludge return pipe 601, which leads to the aeration tank A10, and the first sludge return pipe 601 is provided with a first sludge return pump 602 to regulate the return of activated sludge to the aeration tank A10 through the first sludge return pump 602;
[0072] The aeration tank B20 and the corresponding secondary sedimentation tank B50 are provided with a second effluent pipe 203 leading to the secondary sedimentation tank B50, so that the secondary sedimentation tank B50 receives the mixed liquor discharged from the aeration tank B20 and separates the activated sludge and clarified water by gravity sedimentation; the sludge well B70 is connected to the secondary sedimentation tank B50 to collect the activated sludge discharged from the secondary sedimentation tank B50; the sludge well B70 is provided with at least one second sludge return pipe 701, which leads to the aeration tank B20, and a second sludge return pump 702 is provided on the second sludge return pipe 701 to regulate the return of activated sludge to the aeration tank B20.
[0073] In some embodiments, the first sludge return pipe 601 and the second sludge return pipe 701 each have three pipes, namely A-1#, A-2#, A-3#, B-1#, B-2#, B-3#.
[0074] The connection relationships between sludge wells A60 and B70 and aeration tanks A10 and B20 are as follows:
[0075] Sludge well A60 is connected to aeration tank A10 through the first sludge return pipes 601 of A-1#, A-2#, and A-3#, and a first sludge return pump 602 is provided on A-1#, A-2#, and A-3# respectively;
[0076] Sludge well B70 is connected to aeration tank B20 through second sludge return pipes 701 of B-1#, B-2#, and B-3#, and second sludge return pumps 702 are respectively installed on B-1#, B-2#, and B-3#.
[0077] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, to allow for the free addition and subtraction of activated sludge, a connecting pipe 603 is provided between the first sludge return pipe 601 and the second sludge return pipe 701, so as to add or subtract activated sludge from aeration tanks A10 and B20 through the first sludge return pipe 601 and the second sludge return pipe 701. Specifically, at least one first sludge return pipe 601 and the second sludge return pipe 701 are connected by the connecting pipe 603, and the connecting pipe 603 is equipped with a sludge valve 604. In embodiments where both the first sludge return pipe 601 and the second sludge return pipe 701 have three sections, a connecting pipe 603 is added between the first sludge return pipe 601 of A-3# and the second sludge return pipe 701 of B-1#, and a sludge valve 604 is provided on the connecting pipe 603. If one of the aeration tanks, A10 and B20, malfunctions and the activated sludge has poor activity, sludge can be returned and adjusted from the other aeration tank through the added connecting pipe 603. This allows the activated sludge from the other aeration tank to be quickly transferred to the malfunctioning aeration tank, thus achieving rapid recovery of the abnormal aeration system.
[0078] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, to further reduce the total nitrogen content in the wastewater, the aeration tank A10 is provided with at least one first internal return pipe 104, one end of which is connected to the inlet of the aeration tank A10; the other end is connected to the outlet of the aeration tank A10, and a first internal return pump 105 is provided on the first internal return pipe 104; and / or
[0079] The aeration tank B20 is provided with at least one second internal return pipe 204. One end of the second internal return pipe 204 is connected to the inlet end of the aeration tank B20, and the other end is connected to the outlet end of the aeration tank B20. A second internal return pump 205 is provided on the second internal return pipe 204.
[0080] The aforementioned first internal return pipe 104 and second internal return pipe 204 can be installed according to the needs of aeration tank A10 and aeration tank B20. They can coexist or be installed individually. The aforementioned first internal return pump 105 and second internal return pump 205 are used to adjust the flow rate of the corresponding internal return pipe, which can dynamically adjust the denitrification intensity in the corresponding aeration tank to adapt to the needs of different influent loads or treatment stages.
[0081] Since the first internal return pipe 104 and the second internal return pipe 204 have the same function—reducing the total nitrogen content in wastewater—for ease of explanation, the layout and principle of the first internal return pipe 104 will be further explained here.
[0082] During operation of aeration tank A10, the aerobic section of aeration tank A10 converts ammonium nitrogen in the water into nitrate and nitrite through a digestion reaction. The first internal return pipe 104, driven by the first internal return pump 105, draws the mixture containing nitrate and nitrite in aeration tank A10 from the outlet end. After being transported through the first internal return pipe 104, it is sprayed out from the inlet end, so that part of the mixture at the outlet end of aeration tank A10 is returned to the anoxic section at the inlet end of aeration tank A10. Under anoxic conditions, microorganisms further convert nitrate and nitrite in the water into nitrogen gas through denitrification and remove it from the water, thereby significantly reducing the total nitrogen content in the water and achieving the purpose of denitrification.
[0083] Ideally, the outlet and inlet ends should be arranged diagonally, in a ring, or in an S-shape within aeration tank A10 and / or aeration tank B20 to maximize the circulation path length. Specifically, guide walls can be added within aeration tank A10 and / or aeration tank B20. The main function of the guide walls is to guide the flow direction of the water, forming a fixed circulation path in conjunction with the internal return pipe. In this way, the mixed liquor within the aeration tank can circulate along a predetermined path, sequentially passing through the anoxic and aerobic sections.
[0084] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, to more specifically treat wastewater from different stages or sources and improve treatment efficiency and effectiveness, the wastewater treatment system includes a second biological treatment unit in addition to the first biological treatment unit. That is, the wastewater treatment system further includes a second biological treatment unit, which includes an aeration tank C80. To allow for flexible adjustment of the operating efficiency of the three aeration tanks, in this embodiment, at least one of the anaerobic reactors 30 is connected to a third inlet pipe 801 leading to the aeration tank C80, and the third inlet pipe 801 is equipped with a third valve 802. The third valve 802 is used to regulate the flow of water from the anaerobic reactor 30 to the aeration tank C80. If the load on the aeration tank C80 of the second biological treatment unit is low, while the loads on the aeration tanks A10 and B20 of the first biological treatment unit are high, the effluent from the anaerobic reactor 30 can be adjusted to flow to the aeration tank C80 of the second biological treatment unit, balancing the loads of the first and second biological treatment units, allowing both units to operate at high efficiency simultaneously.
[0085] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, activated sludge can be replenished to aeration tank C80 through aeration tank A10 and / or aeration tank B20. Specifically, a fourth inlet pipe 803 leading to the upper part of aeration tank C80 is provided at the lower part of aeration tank A10 and / or aeration tank B20, and a fourth valve 805 is provided on the fourth inlet pipe 803. Specifically, it includes:
[0086] A fourth inlet pipe 803 can be provided at the lower part of the aeration tank A10, leading to the upper part of the aeration tank C80. A fourth valve 805 is provided on the fourth inlet pipe 803. When the activated sludge in the aeration tank C80 has poor activity, activated sludge can be adjusted from the aeration tank A10 through the fourth inlet pipe 803. The activated sludge in the aeration tank A10 can be quickly adjusted into the aeration tank C80 by using the fourth inlet pipe 803, so as to achieve rapid recovery of the aeration tank C80.
