Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to an energy-saving aquaculture tailwater denitrification and phosphorus removal system. Background Technology

[0002] Aquaculture wastewater refers to the wastewater discharged during the aquaculture process. It mainly comes from aquaculture facilities such as ponds, factory aquaculture ponds, and seedling farms. With the development of aquaculture towards large-scale and intensive operations, aquaculture wastewater has become one of the important sources of water pollution. This type of wastewater usually contains high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, and suspended solids. If it is discharged directly without effective treatment, it will seriously affect the water quality of the discharge area. Therefore, aquaculture wastewater must be treated before it can be discharged. Existing aquaculture wastewater treatment methods cannot remove sulfur from the wastewater, which will pollute the water quality of the discharge area. Utility Model Content

[0019] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an energy-saving aquaculture wastewater denitrification and phosphorus removal system includes: a rotary drum microfilter 1 and an autotrophic denitrification deep denitrification and phosphorus removal device 3;

[0020] An electrocatalytic module 2 is installed between the outlet of the rotary drum microfilter 1 and the inlet of the autotrophic denitrification deep nitrogen and phosphorus removal equipment 3. The electrocatalytic module 2 is configured to form phosphate precipitates in the filtered water. The autotrophic denitrification deep nitrogen and phosphorus removal equipment 3 is equipped with a second inlet pipe 41, which is connected to a mixing device 4. The other end of the mixing device 4 is connected to a first outlet pipe 42, which is connected to the autotrophic denitrification deep nitrogen and phosphorus removal equipment 3. The mixing device 4 is filled with sulfate-reducing bacteria, which can effectively remove nitrogen and phosphorus elements from aquaculture tailwater, prevent eutrophication of the water body after discharge, and protect the aquatic ecological environment.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotary drum microfilter 1 is divided into a wastewater zone and a clean water zone by a partition. A main inlet pipe 11 is installed in the wastewater zone, connecting to the outlet of the aquaculture zone to transport wastewater from the aquaculture zone to the wastewater zone. A rotary drum 12 is installed inside the rotary drum 1. A first inlet pipe 13 is connected to the first end of the rotary drum 12, connecting the wastewater zone to the rotary drum 12 and transporting wastewater into the rotary drum 12. A porous screen is installed on the rotary drum 12 for preliminary filtration of the wastewater. A drain pipe 14 is connected to the second end of the rotary drum 12. The drain pipe 14 is used to discharge the waste residue on the drum 12 during backwashing of the drum microfilter 1. The drum microfilter 1 is equipped with a backwash pipe 15. The inlet end of the backwash pipe 15 is located below the drum 12, and the outlet end of the backwash pipe 15 is located above the drum 12. A water pump 17 is installed at the inlet end of the backwash pipe 15, and multiple nozzles 16 are installed at the outlet end of the backwash pipe 15. The filtered water is pumped to the nozzles 16 by the water pump 17, and the nozzles 16 backwash the outer wall of the drum 12 to wash away the waste residue on the drum 12 and discharge it to the outside of the machine through the drain pipe 14.

[0022] Furthermore, the rotary drum microfilter 1 is provided with a first connecting pipe 21 at the bottom of the water purification zone. The first end of the first connecting pipe 21 is connected to the rotary drum microfilter 1, and the second end of the first connecting pipe 21 is connected to the electrocatalytic module 2. The filtered water in the rotary drum microfilter 1 is transported to the electrocatalytic module 2 through the first connecting pipe 21. The electrocatalytic module 2 performs electrocatalytic treatment on the filtered water to produce phosphoric acid, which forms precipitates with calcium, iron, and aluminum in the water to achieve the effect of phosphorus removal. The electrocatalytic module 2 is provided with a second connecting pipe 22 on the other side away from the first connecting pipe 21. The first end of the second connecting pipe 22 is connected to the electrocatalytic module 2, and the second end of the second connecting pipe 22 is connected to the autotrophic denitrification deep denitrification and phosphorus removal equipment 3. The phosphorus-removed water is transported to the autotrophic denitrification deep denitrification and phosphorus removal equipment 3 through the second connecting pipe 22 for denitrification treatment.

[0023] Furthermore, the autotrophic denitrification deep nitrogen and phosphorus removal equipment 3 is equipped with a tank filled with anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria. The anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria are introduced into the tank through the feeding port 32 on the equipment 3, with the feeding height lower than the height of the feeding port 32. The second end of the second connecting pipe 22 is located at the bottom of the tank to ensure sufficient reaction between the phosphorus-removed water and the anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria. Through the denitrification mechanism of the anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria, using reducing sulfur as an electron donor, the bacteria reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas, simultaneously generating sulfate. In the phosphorus removal mechanism, the sulfate generated promotes the chemical precipitation of sulfur. The sulfate ions produced by sulfur oxidation can form precipitates with metal ions and adsorb or co-precipitate phosphate. Sulfate autotrophic bacteria do not directly remove phosphorus, but during denitrification, sulfur is oxidized to sulfuric acid, lowering the local pH, promoting the release of metal ions, and forming precipitates with phosphates. The autotrophic denitrification deep denitrification and phosphorus removal equipment 3 has a second inlet pipe 41 at the bottom of the tank. The second inlet pipe 41 is connected to a mixing device 4, and the other end of the mixing device 4 is connected to a first outlet pipe 42. The first end of the first outlet pipe 42 is connected to the mixing device 4, and the second end is connected to the tank. The mixing device 4 contains sulfate-reducing bacteria to anaerobically convert some of the sulfate formed during denitrification in the tank into SO4. 2- Restore to S 2- It continues to be provided to anaerobic sulfur autotrophs for reuse and to improve the denitrification effect.

[0024] Multiple baffles 36 are staggered inside the tank to increase the reaction time between the filtered water and the anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria, thereby improving the denitrification and phosphorus removal effects. A filter screen 37 is installed near the main outlet pipe 33 to filter the water after it has reacted with the anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria. A first observation window 34 is installed at the lower end of the outer wall of the tank to observe the sulfur autotrophic bacteria at the lower end of the tank and to determine whether to start the backwashing operation of the autotrophic denitrification deep denitrification and phosphorus removal equipment 3 based on the condition of the anaerobic sulfur autotrophic bacteria. A backwashing pipe 31 is installed at the bottom of the tank for backwashing the tank by passing water and air, and waste residue is discharged through the drain port on the tank. A second observation window 35 is installed at the upper end of the outer wall of the tank to observe the condition of the water after it has been treated by the sulfur autotrophic bacteria. A main outlet pipe 33 is installed at the top of the tank to discharge the treated water.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
