[0002] Domestic sewage generated in cities typically needs to be collected through sewage pipe networks and treated at sewage treatment plants. Sewage treatment plants generally employ a three-stage treatment process: primary treatment often involves screens and grit chambers; secondary treatment is often biological treatment; and tertiary treatment, also known as advanced treatment, builds upon primary and secondary treatment by using chemical and physicochemical methods to further remove other impurities from the sewage, achieving reuse standards. Its main purpose is to further remove pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, fine suspended solids, trace organic matter, and inorganic salts from the sewage, resulting in better and more stable effluent quality. Depending on the pollutants being removed, tertiary treatment processes are typically divided into biological denitrification, coagulation sedimentation, sand filtration, and activated carbon filtration. For issues with high suspended solids in secondary sedimentation tank effluent, coagulation sedimentation is often used. This method often involves coagulation mixers, flocculation mixers, and sludge scrapers, incurring certain electricity costs.

[0047] It should be further explained that the folded plate flocculation zone 3 and the sludge sedimentation zone 4 are connected by the sludge sedimentation zone inlet 46. The inlet adopts a baffle opening, which has a small flow velocity and reduces disturbance to the sludge tank.
[0048] It should be further explained that the sludge sedimentation zone 4 adopts a triangular water collection weir 41, which is arranged around the perimeter and collects water in a ring, making the water collection more stable.

[0055] Example 3:
[0056] The wastewater treatment method using the micro-dynamic coagulation and sedimentation device for secondary effluent from a wastewater treatment plant, as described in this utility model, comprises the following specific steps:
[0057] S1. The effluent from the biological system of the wastewater treatment plant enters the coagulation zone through a flow meter. The flow meter transmits the flow signal to the PLC system. After receiving the signal, the PLC system automatically turns on the double-blade mixer, PAC dosing device and PAM dosing device. In the PAC dosing device, the PAC mixer and PAC dosing pump are turned on. In the PAM dosing device, the PAM mixer and PAM dosing pump are turned on. The wastewater is fully mixed with the PAC agent under the action of the double-blade mixer. The colloids and particles in the wastewater undergo electrical neutralization, adsorption bridging and other effects with PAC, which makes the colloidal particles lose stability and easy to coagulate and settle.
[0058] S2. The wastewater then enters the folded plate flocculation zone. When the wastewater flows in the folded plate flocculation zone, it will form many small vortices. The small vortices can increase the chance of particle collision and reduce the distance between particles. When the particles get close to each other, they can overcome electrostatic repulsion and cause suspended particles and colloidal substances to collide and aggregate. At the same time, under the bridging and netting effect of PAM agent, larger flocs are gradually formed.
[0059] S3. After the wastewater undergoes flocculation by the baffle plate, it enters the sludge settling zone. Under the action of the inclined tube packing, sludge and water are separated. The supernatant is collected by the triangular water collection weir and discharged through the outlet. The sludge settles in the sludge zone. When the sludge settles to a certain height, the sludge level gauge transmits the signal to the PLC system. The PLC system controls the opening of the electric sludge valve. Under the action of the liquid level difference, the sludge is collected and discharged through the sludge perforated pipe, avoiding long-term accumulation of sludge.
[0060] S4. This device is equipped with a PLC control system and sensors such as flow meters and sludge level gauges. The collected sensor signals are processed by a predetermined program to determine whether to execute the next action, thereby enabling the opening or closing of the PAC dosing device, PAM dosing device, double-blade mixer and electric sludge valve, achieving overall automatic control.
