Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, and in particular to a highly efficient multi-pathway denitrification device based on optimized biological packing material settings. Background Technology

[0002] Most urban wastewater treatment plants in my country rely on traditional biological denitrification. Insufficient influent carbon sources and low carbon-to-nitrogen ratios make it difficult for effluent to consistently meet the Class A total nitrogen effluent standard of the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants". To improve nitrogen removal, additional carbon sources are often required, which not only increases operating costs but also increases emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, under the "dual carbon" strategy, the research and application of new wastewater treatment processes with strong denitrification capacity and low energy consumption for operation and maintenance are urgently needed.

[0003] Biological packing media immobilizes activated sludge in the reactor as a biofilm, achieving separation of sludge retention time and hydraulic retention time. The biofilm contains a dissolved oxygen concentration gradient, suitable for the growth of various denitrifying bacteria. The biofilm has a strong adsorption capacity, adsorbing large amounts of organic matter and other nutrients from wastewater onto its surface to maintain microbial metabolism and promote the enrichment of easily lost bacteria with longer sludge ages. Therefore, simultaneous nitrification-denitrification, short-cut nitrification-denitrification, and anaerobic ammonia oxidation can occur on the biofilm formed by the packing media. However, different biological packing media have varying wastewater treatment efficiencies. Even with the same type of biological packing media, variations in packing size, addition method, and dosage will produce different treatment effects. Currently, research on the adaptability of packing media is relatively lacking, resulting in a lack of professional matching solutions in the selection and application of biological packing media. Therefore, this paper proposes a highly efficient multi-pathway denitrification device based on optimized biological packing media setup. Utility Model Content

Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a highly efficient multi-pathway denitrification device based on optimized biological packing material settings. It includes a shell 1, with an inlet pipe 2 connected to one side wall and an outlet pipe 3 connected to the other side wall. Five partitions 4 are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the shell 1, dividing the shell cavity into an anaerobic tank 5, a primary anoxic tank 6, a secondary anoxic tank 7, a primary aerobic tank 8, a secondary aerobic tank 9, and a sedimentation tank 10. Connecting pipes 22 are connected to the inner walls of each partition 4. An anoxic tank return pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the partition 4 between the secondary anoxic tank 5 and the primary anoxic tank 6. A second nitrification liquid return pipe 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the partition 4 between the secondary anoxic tank 7 and the primary aerobic tank 8. A packing fixing device bracket 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of both the primary anoxic tank 6 and the secondary anoxic tank 7. An adjustable buckle 20 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the packing fixing device bracket 19. A detachable packing frame 21 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the adjustable buckle 20. An iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 is set on the inner wall of the detachable packing frame 21.

[0026] The specific implementation method is as follows: Urban sewage enters the anaerobic tank 5 through the inlet pipe 2 and the primary anoxic tank 6 through the injection pipe 14. The anaerobic tank 5 has a hydraulic retention period of time. The sewage mixture after treatment in the anaerobic tank 5 enters the primary anoxic tank 6. Then, the sewage mixture has a hydraulic retention period of time in the primary anoxic tank 6 and the secondary anoxic tank 7. Then, iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 is added into the detachable packing frame 21. The detachable packing frame 21 is then fixed in the packing fixing device bracket 19 by the adjustable buckle 20. The sewage mixture undergoes a denitrification reaction in the primary anoxic tank 6 and then undergoes a denitrification reaction in the secondary anoxic tank 7. At the same time, the iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 promotes the denitrification process and also promotes flocculation and sedimentation.

[0027] Aerators 13 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the bottom surfaces of the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9. Porous suspended packing material 12 is installed inside the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9. A water injection pipe 14, a first nitrification liquid return pipe 15, and a sludge return pipe 16 are connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 1. One end of the water injection pipe 14 is connected to the primary anoxic tank 6, one end of the first nitrification liquid return pipe 15 is connected to the secondary aerobic tank 9, and the other end of the first nitrification liquid return pipe 15 is connected to the primary anoxic tank 6. One end of the sludge return pipe 16 is connected to the sedimentation tank 1. The sludge return pipe 16 is connected to the first-stage anoxic tank 6 at the other end. Activated sludge is installed inside the anaerobic tank 5, the first-stage anoxic tank 6, the second-stage anoxic tank 7, the first-stage aerobic tank 8, and the second-stage aerobic tank 9. Agitators are installed inside the anaerobic tank 5, the first-stage anoxic tank 6, and the second-stage anoxic tank 7. Return pumps are fixedly installed inside the first-stage aerobic tank 8 and the second-stage aerobic tank 9. The porous suspended packing 12 includes, but is not limited to, polyurethane sponge, Pall rings, and suspended balls. The iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 includes, but is not limited to, sponge iron, magnetite, and pyrite.

[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows: the wastewater treated by the secondary anoxic tank 7 enters the primary aerobic tank 8, and then stays in the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9 for a period of time. The aerators 13 in the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9 provide an aerobic environment for nitrifying bacteria. At the same time, the porous suspended packing 12 enriches microorganisms and provides multiple dissolved oxygen gradients, enriching a rich variety of bacterial species. While ensuring the nitrification effect, it promotes the occurrence of short-cut nitrification reaction in the tank. The first nitrification liquid return pipe 15 and the second nitrification liquid return pipe 18 supply substrate for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction in the primary anoxic tank 6 and the secondary anoxic tank 7. In this way, the device achieves simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, short-cut nitrification and denitrification, and anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction to synergistically remove nitrogen. The wastewater treated by the secondary aerobic tank 9 enters the sedimentation tank 10, and the settled sludge returns to the primary anoxic tank 6 through the sludge return pipe 16.

[0029] Working principle: Urban sewage enters the anaerobic tank 5 through the inlet pipe 2 and the primary anoxic tank 6 through the injection pipe 14. The anaerobic tank 5 has a hydraulic retention period of time. The sewage mixture after treatment in the anaerobic tank 5 enters the primary anoxic tank 6. Then, the sewage mixture has a hydraulic retention period of time in the primary anoxic tank 6 and the secondary anoxic tank 7. Then, iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 is added into the detachable packing frame 21. The detachable packing frame 21 is then fixed in the packing fixing device bracket 19 by the adjustable buckle 20. The sewage mixture undergoes a denitrification reaction in the primary anoxic tank 6 and then enters the secondary anoxic tank 7 for a denitrification reaction. At the same time, the iron autotrophic denitrification packing 11 promotes the denitrification process and also promotes flocculation and sedimentation.

[0030] Wastewater treated in the secondary anoxic tank 7 enters the primary aerobic tank 8, and then remains in the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9 for a period of time. The aerators 13 in the primary aerobic tank 8 and the secondary aerobic tank 9 provide an aerobic environment for nitrifying bacteria. At the same time, the porous suspended packing 12 enriches microorganisms and provides multiple dissolved oxygen gradients, enriching a rich variety of bacterial species. This ensures the nitrification effect while promoting short-cut nitrification in the tanks. The first nitrified liquid return pipe 15 and the second nitrified liquid return pipe 18 supply substrate for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction in the primary anoxic tank 6 and the secondary anoxic tank 7. This enables the device to achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, short-cut nitrification and denitrification, and anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction for synergistic denitrification. Wastewater treated in the secondary aerobic tank 9 enters the sedimentation tank 10, and the settled sludge returns to the primary anoxic tank 6 through the sludge return pipe 16.
