[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a system for reverse heating of the pretreatment in an anaerobic fermentation device, including a manure pretreatment unit 1, a primary anaerobic unit, a final anaerobic unit and a solid-liquid separation unit 4 arranged in sequence; as well as a first heat recovery reverse heating unit and a second heat recovery reverse heating unit;
[0027] Among them: sewage pretreatment unit 1 is used for preliminary pretreatment of sewage, and it is a tank structure;
[0028] The primary anaerobic unit receives the effluent from the sewage pretreatment unit 1 and performs anaerobic fermentation. Since the anaerobic fermentation temperature is between 37 and 42 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is insufficient in winter, the gas production will decrease, affecting the fermentation effect. The tertiary anaerobic unit receives the effluent from the primary anaerobic unit and performs further anaerobic fermentation. The solid-liquid separation unit 4 receives the effluent from the tertiary fermentation unit after fermentation and performs further solid-liquid separation.
[0029] The first heat recovery reverse heating unit is connected at one end to a boiler or generator and at the other end to the primary anaerobic unit and the sewage pretreatment unit 1, so as to use the heat from the boiler or generator for heating.
[0030] The second heat recovery reverse heating unit is connected at one end to the final anaerobic unit and at the other end to the sewage pretreatment unit 1, so as to use the heat of the material in the final anaerobic unit for heating.
[0031] This utility model discloses an anaerobic fermentation device with a reverse heating system for pretreatment, comprising a manure pretreatment unit 1, a primary anaerobic unit, a tertiary anaerobic unit, and a solid-liquid separation unit 4 arranged sequentially; as well as a first heat recovery reverse heating unit and a second heat recovery reverse heating unit; the first heat recovery reverse heating unit recovers heat from the boiler or generator and then transmits it to the primary anaerobic unit and the manure pretreatment unit 1, thereby achieving heating and heat preservation of the manure pretreatment unit 1 and the primary anaerobic unit; the tertiary anaerobic unit receives the effluent from the primary anaerobic unit, and can appropriately lower the temperature to reach the gas production temperature without adding a self-heating device, since the retention time in the tertiary anaerobic unit is short, thus utilizing the heat of this part of the material for reverse heating of the pretreatment.
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the first heat recovery reverse heating unit includes a first heat circulation pipe 101 and a first heat circulation pump 102; wherein:
[0033] One end of the first heat circulation tube 101 is coiled on the outer wall of the boiler or wrapped around the outer wall of the generator, and the other end is coiled on the inner wall of the primary anaerobic unit and the inner wall of the sewage pretreatment unit 1.
[0034] The first heat circulation pump 102 is installed on the first heat circulation pipe 101.
[0035] It should be noted that the first heat circulation pipe 101 should be a closed circulation structure, with one end coiled on the boiler and the other end coiled on the inner wall of the primary anaerobic unit and the inner wall of the sewage pretreatment unit 1; or, one end of the first heat circulation pipe 101 is coiled on the generator and the other end is coiled on the inner wall of the primary anaerobic unit and the inner wall of the sewage pretreatment unit 1.
[0036] Of course, considering that the softened water in the first heat circulation pipe 101 may be lost due to evaporation, a water inlet can be opened on the first heat circulation pipe 101, and a switch cover can be installed at the water inlet.
[0037] In addition, since the first heat circulation pipe 101 is connected to the primary anaerobic unit and the sewage pretreatment unit 1 respectively, the first heat circulation pump 102 should be installed on the first heat circulation pipe 101 connected to the primary anaerobic unit and the sewage pretreatment unit 1 respectively, so as to control the start and stop of heating of each branch respectively.
[0038] As a further improvement of this utility model, the primary anaerobic unit includes anaerobic tank 2 and anaerobic tank 3; the first heat circulation pipe 101 is connected to anaerobic tank 2 and anaerobic tank 3 in parallel.
[0039] A first heat circulation pump 102 is installed on the first heat circulation pipe 101 connected to anaerobic tank 2 and anaerobic tank 3.
[0040] The first heat circulation pump 102 should be of adjustable speed type to adjust the softened water supply flow rate according to the temperature measured by the temperature measurement module 203 set in the primary anaerobic unit, so as to avoid excessive heating or insufficient heating.
[0041] As a further improvement of this utility model, the No. 1 anaerobic tank 2 and the No. 2 anaerobic tank 3 are connected in parallel to the pipeline of the sewage pretreatment unit 1, thereby enabling the two anaerobic tanks to receive the discharge of the sewage pretreatment unit 1.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the second heat recovery reverse heating unit includes a second heat circulation pipe 201 and a second heat circulation pump 202; wherein:
[0043] One end of the second heat circulation pipe 201 is connected to the final anaerobic unit, and the other end is coiled on the inner wall of the sewage pretreatment unit 1.
[0044] The second heat circulation pump 202 is installed on the second heat circulation pipe 201.
[0045] The second heat recovery reverse heating unit is used to supply the heat of the material in the No. 3 anaerobic tank 4 to the sewage pretreatment unit 1. The material in the No. 3 anaerobic tank 4 only exists after the material in the No. 1 and No. 2 anaerobic tanks is discharged. Therefore, the second heat recovery reverse heating unit is not started at the beginning. Instead, the first heat recovery reverse heating unit is used for heating. The second heat recovery reverse heating unit is started only after there is material in the No. 3 anaerobic tank 4. The first heat recovery reverse heating unit is then turned off to supply heat to the sewage pretreatment unit 1. Only the first heat recovery reverse heating unit is kept on to increase the temperature of the primary anaerobic unit.
[0046] As a further improvement of this utility model, the final anaerobic unit includes a third anaerobic tank 4, and the second heat circulation pipe 201 is wound in a multi-layered coiled manner on the inner wall of the third anaerobic tank 4.
[0047] Furthermore, in this invention, the heat circulation pipes are all wound in multiple layers inside the sewage pretreatment unit 1, anaerobic tank 2, anaerobic tank 3, and anaerobic tank 4, and are all wound around the inner wall of the tanks.
[0048] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inlet of the No. 3 anaerobic tank 4 is connected to the discharge port pipeline of the No. 1 anaerobic tank 2 and the No. 2 anaerobic tank 3; the outlet of the No. 3 anaerobic tank 4 is connected to the pipeline of the solid-liquid separation unit 4.
[0049] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a temperature measurement module 203 disposed in the primary anaerobic unit and the tertiary anaerobic unit.
[0050] The temperature measurement module 203 can be set in the middle or lower part of the tank. Since the primary anaerobic unit discharges material to the top of the final anaerobic unit, and the sewage pretreatment unit 1 discharges material to the top of the primary anaerobic unit, setting the temperature measurement module 203 in the middle or lower part can ensure the supply of excess heat for both primary and final anaerobic fermentation.
[0051] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first heat circulation pipe 101 and the second heat circulation pipe 201, which are coiled on the inner wall of the sewage pretreatment unit 1, are arranged alternately from top to bottom.
[0052] This structural design ensures that the overall heating effect of the sewage pretreatment unit is maintained even when any circulation pipe is closed.
[0053] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first heat circulation pipe 101 and the second heat circulation pipe 201 are made of iron pipe or stainless steel pipe.
[0054] This utility model discloses an anaerobic fermentation device with a reverse heating system for pretreatment. It includes a manure pretreatment unit 1, a primary anaerobic unit, a tertiary anaerobic unit, and a solid-liquid separation unit 4 arranged sequentially; as well as a first heat recovery reverse heating unit and a second heat recovery reverse heating unit. The first heat recovery reverse heating unit recovers heat from a boiler or generator and then transfers it to the primary anaerobic unit and the manure pretreatment unit 1, thereby achieving heating and insulation of these units. The tertiary anaerobic unit receives the effluent from the primary anaerobic unit. Without adding a self-heating device, and due to the short retention time within the tertiary anaerobic unit, the temperature can be appropriately lowered to reach the gas production temperature. Therefore, the heat from this portion of the material can be used for reverse heating of the pretreatment system. The tertiary anaerobic unit is equipped with... A multi-layer coil system is installed, with another coil system installed within the sewage pretreatment unit 1. This utilizes the heat from the effluent to heat and maintain the pretreatment module. The first and second heat recovery reverse heating units can be selected independently. When the system is first started, the first heat recovery reverse heating unit can be used to heat and maintain the sewage pretreatment unit 1. Once the system is running stably and the final anaerobic unit contains effluent from the primary anaerobic unit, the first heat recovery reverse heating unit can be shut off from supplying heat to the sewage pretreatment unit, and the heat from the material can be used for reverse heating. Softened water can be added to the pipes of both the first and second heat recovery reverse heating units. This structural design not only increases gas production but also raises the sewage pretreatment temperature, better serving anaerobic fermentation.
