[0024] In wastewater treatment technology, the activated sludge process is a core technology. The solid-liquid separation effect of the sludge mixture in the biological treatment tank directly affects the effluent quality. Before effluent discharge, the supernatant needs to be tested, and after testing, it needs to be extracted. In existing technologies, both supernatant sampling and extraction after sedimentation occur in open environments. Extraction after sedimentation typically uses top overflow or bottom suction, which easily contaminates the supernatant and affects the wastewater treatment effect. With the development of the wastewater treatment industry, the requirements for improving the quality and efficiency of wastewater treatment plants are becoming increasingly stringent, and existing technologies are struggling to meet these high demands.

[0025] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides an integrated biochemical tank sampling and sedimentation device, a biochemical tank, and a wastewater treatment system. The integrated biochemical tank sampling and sedimentation device of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1The first aspect of this disclosure provides a biochemical tank sampling and sedimentation integrated device 10, including a main pipeline and a valve system. The main pipeline includes a main pipeline 1, an inlet pipe 2, a drain pipe 3, an outlet pipe 4, and an air inlet pipe 5. The inlet pipe 2 and the drain pipe 3 are both connected to the lower end of the main pipeline 1. The outlet pipe 4 is connected to the upper end of the main pipeline 1 and is at least partially placed inside the main pipeline 1. The air inlet pipe 5 is connected to the upper end of the main pipeline 1. The valve system includes an outlet valve 6, an air inlet valve 7, and a drain valve 8. The outlet valve 6 is disposed on the outlet pipe 4, the air inlet valve 7 is disposed on the air inlet pipe 5, and the drain valve 8 is disposed on the drain valve 8.

[0027] The entire device is approximately 1.6 meters high, and the main pipe 1 is approximately 1.3 meters high. The main pipe is made of UPVC material, which is corrosion-resistant and has good sealing properties. Optionally, the entire device is placed inside the biological treatment tank, with the top 100mm above the surface of the sludge mixture and the bottom 1000mm below the surface of the sludge mixture, thus ensuring that the sludge mixture can flow naturally from the inlet pipe 2 into the main pipe 1.

[0028] When installing the integrated sampling and sedimentation device 10 for the biological treatment tank, the lower end of the main pipe 1 is placed below the surface of the sludge mixture, and the upper end of the main pipe 1 is placed above the surface of the sludge mixture. The outlet valve 6 is opened to balance the pressure inside and outside the main pipe. The sludge mixture flows into the main pipe 1 through the inlet pipe 2. After the liquid level in the main pipe 1 reaches the first height, all valves are closed and the mixture is allowed to stand for a period of time until the sludge settles. Then, the air inlet valve 7 and the outlet valve 6 are opened. Gas enters the main pipe 1 through the air inlet pipe 5, increasing the pressure inside the main pipe 1. The supernatant flows out from the outlet pipe 4. After the supernatant flows out, the liquid level drops to the second height. Then, the outlet valve 6 is closed and the drain valve 8 is opened. Gas continues to be input through the air inlet pipe 5 to pressurize the system, causing the sludge to be discharged from the drain pipe 3. The liquid level continues to drop. When the liquid level drops to the third height, the drain valve 8 and the air inlet valve 7 are closed, and the outlet valve 6 is opened. The above steps are repeated. The integrated sampling and sedimentation device 10 for biological treatment tanks provided in this embodiment of the invention extracts the supernatant by pressurizing the main pipe 1 through the air inlet pipe 5 and discharging the supernatant through the water outlet pipe 4. Compared with traditional top overflow or bottom suction, this avoids disturbing the bottom sludge layer and reduces the risk of pollution. Furthermore, no flocculants or demulsifiers are added throughout the process; solid-liquid separation is achieved solely through settling and pressure difference, thereby eliminating Al... 3 +, Fe 3+ This significantly reduces interference with spectral detection and improves sludge activity retention, preventing imbalances in the biological system. The settling time can be adjusted based on actual conditions; specifically, it can be dynamically adjusted according to the SVI (Sludge Volume Index) value. For example, 5 minutes are set when SVI = 150 mL / g, and 8 minutes are set when SVI > 200 mL / g.

[0029] In some optional embodiments, the main pipe 1 includes a main body 11 and a tee connector 12, which is connected to the lower end of the main body 11, the inlet pipe 2, and the drain pipe 3, respectively. The tee connector 12 facilitates the connection of the inlet pipe 2 and the drain pipe 3 to the main pipe 1. Optionally, the main body 11 includes an upper cover 111, an intermediate pipe 112, and a bottom connecting pipe 113 connected in sequence. The upper cover 111 has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole. The water outlet pipe 4 extends into the main pipe 1 through the first mounting hole, the air inlet pipe 5 communicates with the second mounting hole, and the bottom connecting pipe 113 communicates with the tee connector 12. The upper cover 111, the intermediate pipe 112, and the bottom connecting pipe 113 can be manufactured separately and then installed. Optionally, the upper diameter of the bottom connecting pipe 113 is larger than its lower diameter.

[0030] In some optional embodiments, the portion of the outlet pipe 4 located within the intermediate pipe 112 is L1, and the length of the intermediate pipe 112 is L2. The ratio of L1 to L2 ranges from 0.28 to 0.38, ensuring that the lower end of the outlet pipe 4 is located above the interface between the settled sludge layer and the supernatant. This ensures that only the supernatant flows out of the outlet pipe 4 during pressurization, avoiding disturbance to the bottom sludge layer and reducing the risk of contamination. Preferably, L1 / L2 is 1 / 3.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the integrated biological tank sampling and sedimentation device 10 further includes a liquid level sensor 9, which is installed inside the main pipeline 1. The liquid level sensor 9 is used to detect the liquid level height inside the main pipeline 1. Optionally, the integrated biological tank sampling and sedimentation device 10 also includes a control system, which is used to control the opening and closing of the outlet valve 6, the air inlet valve 7, and the sewage discharge valve 8 based on the liquid level height detected by the liquid level sensor 9.

[0032] Specifically, the level sensor 9 can detect high and low level signals. When a low level signal is detected, the control system opens the outlet valve 6, allowing the sludge mixture to flow in. When the level sensor 9 detects a high level signal and transmits it to the control system, the control system closes all valves. After a period of settling, the control system opens the air inlet valve 7 and the outlet valve 6. When the level sensor 9 detects the loss of the high level signal, it closes the outlet valve 6 and opens the drain valve 8. When the level sensor 9 detects a low level signal, it closes the air inlet valve 7 and opens the outlet valve 6, thus repeating the above steps. Through the level sensor 9 and the control system, the level of automation is improved, enabling unattended adaptive operation.

[0033] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a biochemical tank, including the integrated sampling and sedimentation device 10 of any of the biochemical tanks described in the first aspect.

[0034] A third aspect of this disclosure provides a wastewater treatment system, including the biochemical tank described in the second aspect above.

[0035] The biological treatment tank provided in the second aspect embodiment and the wastewater treatment system provided in the third aspect embodiment of this disclosure directly or indirectly include the integrated biological treatment tank sampling and sedimentation device 10 provided in the first aspect embodiment, and have all the beneficial effects of the integrated biological treatment tank sampling and sedimentation device 10 in the first aspect embodiment. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
