Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to an intelligent adjustable bioreactor. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the wastewater treatment industry, the requirements for pollution reduction and carbon reduction are increasing. Existing biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes often incorporate a post-anoxic zone to promote simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, leveraging its "dual carbon utilization" advantage. To enhance the effect of simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, one proven method is to incorporate a post-anoxic zone, and the larger the volume of the post-anoxic zone, the better the effect of simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal.

[0003] However, this method still has some problems in practical applications. For example, it cannot flexibly adjust the reaction conditions according to the quality of the incoming water. When the water quality is stable, it cannot increase the volume of the post-anoxic zone to fully enhance the effect of simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, resulting in high chemical consumption and aeration energy consumption. When the quality of the incoming water deteriorates, it cannot expand the aerobic tank to prolong the hydraulic retention time of the wastewater in the aerobic tank to promote the oxidation of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, thereby improving the carbon and nitrogen treatment effect, resulting in substandard effluent.

[0004] Therefore, providing an intelligent adjustable bioreactor is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field to address the above-mentioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0022] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of the structure of an intelligent adjustable bioreactor provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including a reactor 1, wherein an anaerobic zone 111, an anoxic zone 112, an aerobic zone 113 and a post-anoxic zone 114 are arranged sequentially inside the reactor 1 along the direction of sewage flow. A first water passage 15 is provided between the anaerobic zone 111 and the anoxic zone 112 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), a second water passage 16 is provided between the first partition 4 (in the anoxic zone 112 and the aerobic zone 113) and the anoxic zone 112. Figure 2 The second baffle 5 (as shown) is provided between the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114, and includes a third water passage 17 (as shown). Figure 3 The third partition 6 (shown) is a partition 4; wherein the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 are fixedly arranged, and the third partition 6 can be adjusted back and forth along the sewage flow direction. The device also includes an anoxic reflux pump 9 and a post-anoxic reflux pump 10; the inlet end of the anoxic reflux pump 9 is connected to the bottom end of the anoxic zone 112, the outlet end of the anoxic reflux pump 9 is connected to the bottom front end of the anaerobic zone 111, and the anoxic reflux pump 9 connects the two zones through the first pipeline 7; the inlet end of the post-anoxic reflux pump 10 is connected to the bottom end of the post-anoxic zone 114, the outlet end of the post-anoxic reflux pump 10 is connected to the bottom front end of the anoxic zone 112, and the post-anoxic reflux pump 10 connects the two zones through the second pipeline 8.

[0024] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, wastewater enters the reactor and sequentially passes through an anaerobic zone 111, an anoxic zone 112, an aerobic zone 113, and a post-anoxic zone 114 for denitrification and phosphorus removal. The overall process is as follows: Anaerobic zone 111 converts readily biodegradable macromolecular organic matter into small-molecule volatile fatty acids, while simultaneously achieving anaerobic phosphorus release from wastewater. Anoxic zone 112 performs denitrification, enabling denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria to utilize nitrates or nitrites as electron acceptors, reducing nitrates to nitrogen gas under anoxic conditions. Simultaneously, it absorbs dissolved inorganic phosphorus (such as phosphates) from wastewater and stores it as intracellular polyphosphate, thus reducing both carbon source and oxygen consumption. Aerobic zone 113 performs nitrification and aerobic phosphorus uptake processes, using oxygen as an electron acceptor. The acceptor absorbs phosphate, reducing its amount; the post-anoxic zone 114 is used to enhance the simultaneous denitrification phosphorus removal effect. The larger the volume of the post-anoxic zone 114, the better the simultaneous denitrification phosphorus removal effect. Specifically, the mixed liquor from the post-anoxic zone 114 is returned to the anoxic zone 114 via the post-anoxic return pump 10, ensuring that the anoxic zone 114 maintains a sufficiently low oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), providing a suitable growth environment for denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria; finally, the anoxic return pump 9 connects the anoxic zone 112 and the anaerobic zone 111, forming an anaerobic-anoxic internal circulation. Throughout the process, wastewater flows through the water passages on the corresponding partitions between the zones.

[0025] Meanwhile, in this exemplary embodiment, the water quality (e.g., COD, NH3-N, NO3) of the wastewater entering at different times is also considered. - -N and PO4³⁻ (which can be determined based on the actual situation) are different, and their corresponding wastewater treatment needs are different: When the influent water quality is stable, the volume of the post-anoxic zone 114 can be increased to fully enhance the effect of simultaneous denitrification and phosphorus removal, and this state can be maintained continuously, thereby reducing chemical consumption and aeration energy consumption; when the influent water quality deteriorates, the aerobic zone 113 can be expanded to prolong the hydraulic retention time of wastewater in the aerobic zone 113 to promote the oxidation of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, thereby improving the carbon and nitrogen treatment effect, rapidly improving the removal efficiency of carbon and nitrogen pollutants, and ensuring that the effluent water quality meets the standards.

[0026] Therefore, in this exemplary embodiment, the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 are fixedly installed, while the third baffle 6 can be adjusted back and forth along the sewage flow direction, thereby making the volumes of the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114 adjustable to meet the treatment requirements of different sewage qualities. By configuring the adjustable third baffle 6, flexible adjustment of the volume of the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114 is achieved, significantly enhancing the bioreactor's resistance to shock loads; moreover, the modification process does not require production shutdown for construction, effectively improving biological treatment efficiency within the existing process framework, and possessing good practical value.

[0027] In one specific exemplary embodiment, the initial volume ratio of each region in the intelligent adjustable bioreactor is set as anaerobic zone 111: anoxic zone 112: aerobic zone 113: post-anoxic zone 114 = 1:4:4:1.

[0028] Under stable influent water quality conditions (e.g., the instantaneous influent water quality measured by the water quality sensor is less than or equal to n times the average influent water quality measured over the past 7 days, where n is set according to the actual situation of each wastewater treatment plant; water quality data can include COD, NH3-N, NO3-, etc.),... - -N, PO4³⁻ (select according to actual situation), the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 are fixedly set, and the third partition 6 moves towards the starting point to reduce the volume of the aerobic zone 113 and increase the volume of the post-anoxic zone 114, so that the volume ratio of each zone becomes anaerobic zone 111: anoxic zone 112: aerobic zone 113: post-anoxic zone 114 = 1:4:3:2. This state is maintained for long-term operation to reduce energy consumption and drug consumption. When the influent water quality suddenly deteriorates (for example, the instantaneous influent water quality measured by the water quality sensor is greater than or equal to n times the average influent water quality measured in the past 7 days), the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 are fixedly set, and the third baffle 6 moves away from the starting point, reducing the volume of the post-anoxic zone 114 and increasing the volume of the aerobic zone 113, so that the volume ratio is restored to anaerobic zone 111: anoxic zone 112: aerobic zone 113: post-anoxic zone 114 = 1:4:4:1, which quickly improves the removal efficiency of carbon and nitrogen pollutants and ensures that the effluent water quality meets the standards.

[0029] In yet another specific exemplary embodiment, the water quality data is obtained by regulatory personnel through a management terminal, and then the movement of the third partition 6 is manually controlled.

[0030] The following will describe the preferred exemplary embodiments: More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a stirrer 2 is provided in each of the anaerobic zone 111, the anoxic zone 112, the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114.

[0031] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, the agitator 2 can promote uniform mixing of return sludge and wastewater and maintain the sludge in suspension, thereby enhancing mass transfer efficiency and improving wastewater treatment effect.

[0032] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the anaerobic zone 111, the anoxic zone 112, the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114 is provided with a grooved aeration disc 3.

[0033] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, the grooved aeration disc 3 aerates the reactor 1; at the same time, the aeration disc 3 is grooved so as not to affect the free movement of the third baffle 6.

[0034] In one preferred exemplary embodiment, each aeration disc 3 is equipped with a gravity sensor to prevent the third partition 6 from remaining above the aeration disc 3 during movement and affecting aeration. In yet another preferred exemplary embodiment, the aeration state of the aeration disc 3 can be changed according to the volume changes of the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114 to meet corresponding requirements.

[0035] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first water passage 15 is located above the first partition 4, the second water passage 16 is located below the second partition 5, and the third water passage 17 is located above the third partition 6. The inlet 11 of the anaerobic zone 111 and the outlet 12 of the post-anoxic zone 114 are both located below the reactor 1.

[0036] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, wastewater enters through the inlet 11 of the anaerobic zone 111 and flows in a baffled manner within the intelligent adjustable bioreactor. Finally, the treated wastewater is discharged from the outlet 12 of the post-anoxic zone 114. This baffled arrangement ensures that wastewater flows evenly throughout the entire treatment area, fully utilizing the effective volume of the treatment facility and improving treatment efficiency.

[0037] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, a guide rail 13 (such as...) is provided on the bottom wall of the reactor 1 located between the second baffle 5 and the outlet 12 of the post-anoxic zone 114. Figure 1 (as shown) and pulley 14 (as shown) Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the pulley 14 is connected to the third partition 6; the third partition 6 is provided with a bidirectional hydraulic piston 19 that is provided with thrust by an external power source 20.

[0038] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, the third baffle 6 integrates a bidirectional hydraulic piston 19, which is powered by an external power source 20. By applying pressure on one side, the third baffle 6 is directly pushed to move back and forth along the water flow direction under the action of the pulley 14 installed on the guide rail 13, thereby realizing the volume change of the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114.

[0039] It should be noted that the instantaneous influent water quality collected by the water quality sensor is processed by an external controller or a central server, and the external power source 20 can be controlled by the external controller or the central server; the external power source 20 can also be manually controlled by the management personnel.

[0040] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the third partition 6 also has a multi-hole 18 that is electrically opened and closed at the middle position.

[0041] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, a multi-hole 18 with electric opening and closing is provided on the third partition 6 (with an electric valve equipped with a labyrinth seal ring). The multi-hole 18 on the third partition 6 is closed when the reactor 1 is running normally. When the third partition 6 needs to be moved, the multi-hole 18 on the third partition 6 automatically opens to reduce the impact of water pressure on the movement of the third partition 6.

[0042] In another exemplary embodiment, when the influent water quality suddenly deteriorates (for example, the instantaneous influent water quality measured by the water quality sensor is greater than or equal to n times the average influent water quality measured in the past 7 days), the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 are fixedly set, the third partition 6 is not moved, the perforated 18 on the third partition 6 is opened, so that the water in the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114 are completely mixed, and the whole is transformed into the aerobic zone 113, so that the volume ratio becomes anaerobic zone 111: anoxic zone 112: aerobic zone 113 = 1:4:5, which quickly improves the removal efficiency of carbon and nitrogen pollutants and ensures that the effluent water quality meets the standards.

[0043] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer periphery of the third partition 6 that contacts the reactor 1 is provided with rubber sealing strips 21.

[0044] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, a rubber sealing strip 21 is provided on the outer periphery (sides and bottom) of the third partition 6 in contact with the reactor 1, thereby reducing liquid leakage between the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114. Furthermore, the leakage of the guide rail 13 and pulley 14 is minimal and negligible. It should also be noted that since wastewater is transported between the partitions and the reactor through water passages, minor wastewater leakage will not significantly interfere with the overall process efficiency; therefore, a completely sealed state between the zones is not required.

[0045] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, a displacement sensor is also provided inside the third partition 6.

[0046] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, a displacement sensor is used to collect the moving distance of the third partition 6, thereby enabling precise acquisition and control of the moving distance.

[0047] More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, water quality sensors are provided in the anaerobic zone 111, the anoxic zone 112, the aerobic zone 113 and the post-anoxic zone 114.

[0048] Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, water quality sensors in the anaerobic zone 111, anoxic zone 112, aerobic zone 113, and post-anoxic zone 114 are used to monitor the process data of wastewater treatment, so as to keep track of water quality changes in real time and adjust process parameters in a timely manner.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
