Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a MABR aquaculture water treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of aquaculture, the continuous expansion of farming scale and the sustained increase in farming density, the treatment of aquaculture recirculating water and wastewater has become increasingly prominent, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. Under high-density farming models, nitrogenous waste such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite produced by the metabolism of aquatic organisms such as fish and shrimp accumulates continuously in the aquaculture water. The decomposition of uneaten feed and excrement further exacerbates the pollution load on the water, leading to water quality deterioration. Traditional aquaculture water treatment technologies, such as physical filtration, chemical flocculation, and biological oxidation, while able to purify water to some extent, also have many limitations. Physical filtration mainly removes suspended particulate matter from the water, but its effect on dissolved pollutants is minimal; chemical flocculation can quickly reduce water turbidity, but the use of chemical agents can easily cause secondary pollution, and long-term use may have potential toxic effects on farmed organisms; biological oxidation technology has high requirements for equipment and operating conditions, and its treatment effect is difficult to guarantee in the event of water quality fluctuations or sudden pollution, and the long start-up time of traditional biological treatment processes makes it difficult to meet the urgent need for real-time water quality control during aquaculture production. Therefore, the efficient removal of aquaculture recirculating water and effluent is urgently needed.
[0003] Membrane-Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR), as a novel wastewater treatment technology, combines traditional biofilm methods with membrane separation technology. It uses hollow fiber membranes to provide a carrier for the biofilm and diffuses oxygen into the biofilm, forming a unique aerobic / anoxic / anaerobic microbial membrane structure from the inside out. This provides a suitable environment for the growth of different microorganisms such as nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, achieving simultaneous carbon and nitrogen removal and reducing operating costs. Currently, MABR technology has been gradually applied in experimental research and pilot-scale field trials of aquaculture wastewater. Existing MABR equipment requires a bypass system and a separate treatment system, with the treated aquaculture water being returned to the aquaculture area. While this system has good treatment effects, it requires separate space for the treatment area, and the aquaculture wastewater needs to be pumped to the treatment area, increasing land occupation and energy consumption. Based on this background, this invention proposes a MABR aquaculture wastewater treatment device. The tank is installed within the aquaculture area, using a semi-underground, semi-above-ground design, without increasing land occupation and reducing operating energy consumption. This application aims to improve aquaculture wastewater treatment while reducing energy consumption, achieving an economical, efficient, and stable new solution for aquaculture wastewater treatment.
