Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a flocculation and concentration tank for construction wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment, flocculation thickening tanks, as key equipment for solid-liquid separation, face significant technical bottlenecks in their traditional manufacturing materials: metal tanks (such as carbon steel and stainless steel) are prone to electrochemical corrosion due to long-term contact with corrosive media, and their lifespan is generally less than 5 years under high salinity or strong acid and alkaline conditions, and even with anti-corrosion coatings, they still face high maintenance costs; concrete structures, although corrosion-resistant, are difficult to transport and install due to their excessive weight (over 20 tons per piece), with on-site pouring cycles lasting 15-30 days and a high risk of joint leakage. Although fiber composite materials have been applied in the field of chemical containers due to their high specific strength (3-5 times that of Q235 steel), broad-spectrum corrosion resistance (pH 1-14), and lightweight properties (density 1.5-2.0 g / cm³), there is still a lack of innovative design for their application in key parts of flocculation thickening tanks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank, which can reduce the weight of the equipment, improve on-site installation efficiency through prefabrication, and can be hoisted as a whole, reused repeatedly, and is corrosion resistant.

[0004] The construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank provided in this application includes an outer cylindrical tank and an inner conical bottom. Both the outer cylindrical tank and the inner conical bottom are made of fiber composite material. The inner conical bottom is located in the lower cavity of the outer cylindrical tank, and the top opening of the inner conical bottom communicates with the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank. The lower wall of the outer cylindrical tank is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet located below the opening of the inner conical bottom. The water inlet and the water outlet are arranged at intervals and communicate with the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank respectively. The water inlet is used to inject water into the lower cavity of the outer cylindrical tank to maintain the stability of the outer cylindrical tank. A flow guide is provided on one side of the top of the outer cylindrical tank, and a sludge outlet is provided on the inner conical bottom.

[0005] In addition, the construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank provided in this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0006] In one optional embodiment, the flow guiding section includes a horizontal flow guiding channel and a vertical flow guiding cylinder. The horizontal flow guiding channel is disposed at the top of the outer cylindrical tank, and a wastewater inlet pipe and a chemical dosing pipe are connected to the horizontal flow guiding channel. The vertical flow guiding cylinder is located inside the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank, and the top of the vertical flow guiding cylinder is connected to the horizontal flow guiding channel. The length of the vertical flow guiding cylinder extends along the axial direction of the outer cylindrical tank by a predetermined length, and multiple baffles are spaced and inclined on the inner wall of the vertical flow guiding cylinder.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the flow guide further includes an overflow weir, a clear water pipe, and an inclined pipe area. The overflow weir is disposed within the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank and is located near the top of the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank. The clear water pipe is connected to the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank for discharging the flocculated clear water. The inclined pipe area is located on one side of the bottom of the overflow weir and includes multiple inclined pipes arranged at intervals.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the guide section includes a spiral blade and a bottom sludge outlet pipe. The spiral blade is movably disposed within the cavity of the inner conical bottom, and the bottom sludge outlet pipe communicates with the cavity of the inner conical bottom and extends to the outside of the outer cylindrical tank.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, a cylindrical connecting wall is provided on one side of the top of the inner conical bottom. The connecting wall has a predetermined length in the axial direction of the outer cylindrical tank, and the inner conical bottom is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylindrical tank through the connecting wall.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0011] In the construction wastewater flocculation and thickening tank of this application, both the outer cylindrical tank and the inner conical bottom are made of fiber composite materials, which reduces the self-weight, enabling prefabrication at the plant and on-site hoisting for use, shortening the construction period. Furthermore, the fiber composite material is more corrosion-resistant, which can extend the service life of the construction wastewater flocculation and thickening tank to a certain extent. In addition, the method of injecting water into the outer cylindrical tank through the water inlet can replace the traditional steel structure foundation at the bottom of the thickening tank, increasing stability and improving structural safety.

[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank, which mainly includes an outer cylindrical tank 1 and an inner conical bottom 2. Both the outer cylindrical tank 1 and the inner conical bottom 2 are made of fiber composite material. The inner conical bottom 2 is located in the lower cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and the top opening of the inner conical bottom 2 is connected to the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1. The lower wall of the outer cylindrical tank 1 is provided with a water inlet 3 and a water outlet 4 located below the opening of the inner conical bottom 2. The water inlet 3 and the water outlet 4 are arranged at intervals and are respectively connected to the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1. The water inlet 3 is used to inject water into the lower cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1 to maintain the stability of the outer cylindrical tank 1. A guide section is provided on one side of the top of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and a sludge outlet section is provided on the inner conical bottom 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer cylindrical tank 1 is provided with a water inlet 3 near the inner conical bottom 2. The water inlet 3 is opened on the wall of the outer cylindrical tank 1 and connected to a pipe valve for injecting clean water to ensure the stability of the tank. After the bottom of the tank is filled with water, the valve of the water inlet 3 is closed. The water outlet 4 at the bottom of the outer cylindrical tank 1 is connected to a pipe valve for draining water to reduce weight when the tank needs to be moved to a different location.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer cylindrical tank 1 and the inner conical bottom 2 of the construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank are both made of fiber composite materials, which reduces the weight and allows for prefabrication at the plant site and on-site hoisting, shortening the construction period. Furthermore, the fiber composite material is more corrosion-resistant, which can extend the service life of the construction wastewater flocculation and concentration tank to some extent. In addition, the method of injecting water into the outer cylindrical tank 1 through the water inlet 3 can replace the traditional steel structure foundation at the bottom of the concentration tank, increasing stability and improving structural safety.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the flow guiding section includes a horizontal flow guiding channel 5 and a vertical flow guiding cylinder 6. The horizontal flow guiding channel 5 is located at the top of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and a wastewater inlet pipe 7 and a chemical dosing pipe 8 are connected to the horizontal flow guiding channel 5. The vertical flow guiding cylinder 6 is located inside the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and its top is connected to the horizontal flow guiding channel 5. The length of the vertical flow guiding cylinder 6 extends a predetermined length along the axial direction of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and multiple baffles 9 are spaced and inclined on the inner wall of the vertical flow guiding cylinder 6. The horizontal flow guiding channel 5 can mix the water and flocculant from the wastewater inlet pipe 7 and the chemical dosing pipe 8. After mixing, the mixture enters the vertical flow guiding cylinder 6 at a certain flow rate. The baffles 9 in the flow guiding cylinder reduce the water velocity and fully exert the chemical effect. Since the wastewater is in a state of mud-water separation after chemical dosing, the mud is in flocculent form and enters the inner conical bottom 2 for flocculation by gravity sedimentation.

[0027] like Figure 1-3As shown, in one specific embodiment, the guide section further includes an overflow weir 10, a clear water pipe 11, and an inclined tube area 12. The overflow weir 10 is disposed within the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1, and the overflow weir 10 is close to the top of the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1. The clear water pipe 11 is connected to the cavity of the outer cylindrical tank 1 for discharging the flocculated clear water. The inclined tube area 12 is located on one side of the bottom of the overflow weir 10, and the inclined tube area 12 includes multiple inclined tubes arranged at intervals. The clear water after mud-water separation exits from the top overflow weir 10, first passing through the inclined tube area 12, where some of the suspended particles are settled to the bottom, thereby ensuring clearer effluent.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the guide section includes a spiral blade 13 and a bottom sludge outlet pipe 14. The spiral blade 13 is movably disposed within the cavity of the inner conical bottom 2, and the bottom sludge outlet pipe 14 communicates with the cavity of the inner conical bottom 2 and extends to the outside of the outer cylindrical tank 1. In this embodiment, the spiral blade 13 is disposed within the inner conical bottom 2. The spiral blade 13 can rotate relative to the inner conical bottom 2, thereby enabling non-powered stirring under the action of water velocity, which prevents the bottom sludge from accumulating. The sludge at the bottom collects at the bottom under the action of the inner conical bottom 2 and finally exits through the bottom sludge outlet pipe 14. Specifically, the sludge at the bottom is pumped by a slurry pump connected to the bottom sludge outlet pipe 14, which drives the spiral blade 13 to move, preventing the bottom sludge from accumulating. The bottom sludge outlet pipe 14 is a non-powered device.

[0029] In addition, a cylindrical connecting wall 15 is provided on one side of the top of the inner conical bottom 2. The connecting wall 15 has a preset length in the axial direction of the outer cylindrical tank 1. The inner conical bottom 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylindrical tank 1 through the connecting wall 15. For example, the two can be connected by adhesive bonding. Of course, other methods can also be used for fixed connection, which is not specifically limited in this article.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
