Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment equipment, specifically relating to an online dilution system for a high-density sludge dewatering machine. Background Technology

[0002] In power plant raw water treatment systems, high-density sedimentation tanks (referred to as "HDTs") are key equipment for sludge separation. The sludge discharged from these tanks needs to be dewatered to reduce its volume. In traditional processes, to ensure the stable operation of the sludge dewatering machine, sludge collection tanks and sludge equalization tanks are usually set up. Through buffering and homogenization treatments, the sludge concentration and flow rate are adjusted to the design range of the dewatering machine (e.g., centrifugal dewatering machines often require an influent sludge concentration of 2% to 4%).

[0003] However, in scenarios where land is limited (such as some power plants simplifying their raw water treatment systems due to land constraints), eliminating sludge collection and equalization tanks and directly sending the sludge from the high-density tanks into centrifugal sludge dewatering machines presents the following technical challenges: Sludge concentration exceeds the standard and fluctuates greatly: The sludge concentration from the high-density tank is usually 2% to 8%, which is far beyond the design standard of the dewatering machine. In addition, due to the limitations of water flow conditions (such as the high water flow velocity and short residence time in the high-density tank, a large amount of coagulant needs to be added to form a dense sludge layer), the sludge is extremely sticky, which further aggravates the problem of unstable concentration. Dewatering machine malfunction: Excessive sludge concentration and flow fluctuations cause abnormally high torque in the dewatering machine, which can easily lead to drum blockage. Frequent manual intervention is required to adjust parameters (such as manual start-up, shutdown, and cleaning), making it impossible to achieve automated operation. Limitations of traditional solutions: If sludge collection tanks and equalization tanks are added again, not only will the equipment cost (about 300,000 yuan) and floor space (at least 80m²) be increased, but the sludge blockage problem caused by high viscosity sludge will not be solved, manual intervention will still be required, and the operating energy consumption will be high.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology lacks a control scheme that can achieve direct feeding of sludge from high-density tanks into dewatering machines and stable, fully automatic operation without relying on traditional sludge equalization tanks, which restricts the compact, efficient, and intelligent development of raw water treatment systems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues of existing sludge dewatering machines requiring sludge equalization tanks for sludge feeding, resulting in high equipment costs and large space requirements, this utility model provides an online dilution system for high-density tank sludge dewatering machines.

[0006] This utility model provides an online dilution system for a high-density sludge dewatering machine, including a high-density tank, an online dilution unit, a coagulant addition unit, and a centrifugal dewatering machine. A sludge pipe extends from the bottom of the high-density tank, and a sludge pump is installed on the sludge pipe. The sludge pipe connects to the centrifugal dewatering machine. The online dilution unit includes a static mixer, an inlet pipe, a sludge concentration meter, a flow meter, and a control system. The static mixer, the sludge concentration meter, and the flow meter are sequentially arranged on the sludge pipe along the direction from the high-density tank to the centrifugal dewatering machine. The static mixer is connected to the inlet pipe, and an electrically controlled valve is installed on the inlet pipe. The control system is electrically connected to the sludge concentration meter, the flow meter, and the electrically controlled valve. The coagulant addition unit is installed at the inlet of the centrifugal dewatering machine.

[0007] Furthermore, the coagulant addition unit includes a coagulant pipeline and a coagulant pump, a control valve, and a coagulant flow meter installed on the coagulant pipeline.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two high-density tanks, which are connected in parallel, and each of the two high-density tanks is equipped with a sludge pump.

[0009] This high-density sludge dewatering machine's online dilution system integrates a high-density tank, an online dilution unit, a coagulant addition unit, and a centrifugal dewatering machine to construct a complete sludge dewatering process. The online dilution unit, through the coordinated operation of a static mixer, inlet pipe, sludge concentration meter, flow meter, and control system, can monitor and automatically adjust the sludge concentration in real time, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This ensures a stable sludge concentration entering the centrifugal dewatering machine, adapting to its operating requirements and improving dewatering efficiency and effectiveness. The control system, based on feedback from the sludge concentration meter and flow meter, precisely controls the opening of the electrically controlled valves, achieving precise and intelligent online sludge dilution. This solves the problem of large fluctuations in sludge concentration from the high-density tank affecting the operation of the dewatering machine, ensuring stable and efficient operation and reducing equipment failures and energy waste caused by unsuitable concentrations.
