AI Technical Summary
In the wastewater treatment system of highway service areas, long-term operation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) leads to a decrease in membrane flux, an increase in transmembrane pressure difference, an increase in cleaning frequency and energy consumption, and a deterioration in effluent quality. Furthermore, the treatment load varies significantly with the seasons and passenger flow.
Design a system comprising an equalization tank, a water treatment tank, a pre-sedimentation tank, and an MBR membrane tank. The pre-sedimentation tank pre-treats suspended solids in wastewater. Combined with movable baffles and a reflux structure, the operating mode of the biological treatment unit is dynamically adjusted to adapt to fluctuations in wastewater volume, reduce the risk of MBR membrane fouling, and extend membrane life.
It effectively removes suspended solids and colloidal substances from wastewater, reduces the risk of high-load operation of MBR membranes, extends membrane life, reduces cleaning frequency and energy consumption, improves effluent quality, adapts to peak and off-peak wastewater flow fluctuations, and reduces operating costs.
