Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a low-temperature reactor in which short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation can coexist stably. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment technology, a denitrification reactor suitable for low-temperature environments (15-25℃) is developed. Through structural optimization, it achieves stable coexistence of short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, thereby improving denitrification efficiency at low temperatures.

[0003] Existing low-temperature reactors, such as the wastewater denitrification reactor disclosed in utility model patent application number 202421329026.6, mainly include a reaction tank, a filter tank, and a retaining plate. The reaction tank is equipped with a filter tank, and the top and bottom sides of the filter tank are provided with grooves. The bottom of the retaining plate is engaged with the top groove of the filter tank, and one side of the retaining plate is engaged with the tank wall of the filter tank. The retaining plate is provided with a wall brush on the side of the retaining plate near the reaction tank and the filter tank wall. In use, the rotation of the stirring shaft drives the first stirring blade inside the filter tank and the retaining plate, causing the wastewater to carry the internal impurities to rotate in the filter tank, accelerating the filtration flow of the wastewater. At the same time, the retaining plate drives the filter tank brush to wash the filter holes of the filter tank, preventing the filter holes from being blocked by impurities and affecting the flow of wastewater.

[0004] However, existing reactors mostly operate with a single process or under mesotemperature conditions, making it difficult to achieve the synergistic effect of short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation simultaneously at low temperatures. Moreover, the growth of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria is slow, and they are easily lost with the sludge, making it difficult to form a sufficient number of bacteria. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a low-temperature reactor that not only enables short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation to work synergistically through partitioned design and insulation structure, achieving efficient cooperation between the two bacterial communities, but also allows for sludge sedimentation and retention, providing a suitable growth environment for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria and ensuring a sufficient number of bacteria.

[0006] This invention relates to a low-temperature reactor for the stable coexistence of short-range denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation, comprising a low-temperature reactor; and further comprising a heat exchange mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a sedimentation mechanism, and a sludge discharge mechanism. The heat exchange mechanism is installed on the low-temperature reactor to facilitate the use of waste heat to heat the influent. The cleaning mechanism is installed on the heat exchange mechanism to prevent sludge residue from clogging the reactor. The sedimentation mechanism is installed on the low-temperature reactor to facilitate sludge sedimentation and the cultivation of ammonia oxidation bacteria. The sludge discharge mechanism is installed on the sedimentation mechanism to discharge the sludge. The heat exchange mechanism exchanges heat with the wastewater in the low-temperature reactor, and then the wastewater is sprayed into the low-temperature reactor. The cleaning mechanism prevents impurities in the wastewater from clogging the uniform dispersion box. The denitrifying bacteria on the low-temperature reactor convert nitrates into nitrites. The nitrites react with ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater to generate nitrogen gas under the action of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria. The sludge in the wastewater settles in the sedimentation mechanism, facilitating the growth and reproduction of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria. After a certain period of time, the sludge discharge mechanism discharges the sludge from the sedimentation mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the cryogenic reactor includes an insulated shell, a nitrogen circulation pump, porous polyethylene biological packing material, a flow guide baffle, and a honeycomb ceramic carrier. The bottom of the insulated shell is connected to the ground, and a cavity is provided inside the insulated shell.

The denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates into nitrites. Then, the sewage flows through the flow guide baffle to the surface of the honeycomb ceramic carrier. Anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria are embedded inside the honeycomb ceramic carrier. Nitrites react with ammonia nitrogen in the sewage inside the honeycomb ceramic carrier to generate nitrogen gas.

[0008] Preferably, the insulation shell is a double-layer structure with an embedded polyurethane foam layer in the interlayer; this structure can keep the internal temperature fluctuation less than 2°C, ensuring that the microbial community is in a suitable growth reaction state.

The sewage transfer pump transports sewage into the inlet pipe. The sewage exchanges heat with the sewage being treated inside the cavity of the insulation shell through the heat exchange pipe. Then, the sewage enters the uniform dispersion box through the sleeve and is evenly discharged through the mesh openings of the uniform dispersion box, increasing the contact area with the porous polyethylene biological packing material.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a first motor, a first reducer, a first drive shaft, and three sets of cleaning brushes. The bottom end of the first motor is connected to the top end of the insulation shell, the bottom end of the first reducer is connected to the top end of the insulation shell, the first drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the sleeve and longitudinally connected to the first reducer, and the three sets of cleaning brushes are all installed on the first drive shaft. When the first motor is started, the first motor drives the first drive shaft to rotate through the first reducer, and the first drive shaft drives the three sets of cleaning brushes to rotate and clean the mesh on the uniform dispersion box, so as to prevent impurities in the sewage from clogging the mesh.

[0011] Preferably, the sedimentation mechanism includes a sedimentation tank, a hinge, a sealing cover, a handle, a drain pipe, and a valve. The top of the sedimentation tank is connected to the bottom of the insulation shell. The hinge is installed on the sedimentation tank, the sealing cover is installed on the hinge, the handle is installed on the sealing cover, the drain pipe is installed on the sedimentation tank and connected to the interior of the sedimentation tank, and the valve is installed on the drain pipe. After the reaction is completed, the valve is opened, and the upper layer of clear water is discharged through the drain pipe. Sludge and other impurities in the sewage settle in the sedimentation tank, which facilitates the growth and reproduction of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria and ensures the number of bacteria.

[0012] Preferably, the sludge discharge mechanism includes a second motor, a second reducer, a second drive shaft, and spiral blades. The second motor is installed on the sedimentation tank, the second reducer is installed on the sedimentation tank, the second drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the sedimentation tank and is connected to the second reducer for transmission, and the spiral blades are installed on the second drive shaft.

The spiral blades push out the sludge.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: heat exchange mechanism and sewage in low temperature reactor exchange heat, and then the sewage is sprayed into the low temperature reactor. By setting a cleaning mechanism, impurities in the sewage are prevented from clogging the uniform dispersion box. Denitrifying bacteria on the low temperature reactor convert nitrates into nitrites.
