Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of environmental protection technology, and in particular relates to the field of sludge dewatering and volume reduction technology, specifically a stepped pressing belt filter press. Background Technology
[0002] Belt filter presses are highly efficient equipment widely used in solid-liquid separation, including sludge dewatering in municipal wastewater treatment. The traditional dewatering principle of a belt filter press involves guiding flocculated sludge into the middle area formed by upper and lower filter belts. The sludge is held between the two belts and fed into several sets of S-shaped rollers. Tensioning cylinders tighten the upper and lower filter belts, creating pressure on the sludge within the S-shaped rollers, thus dewatering it. However, with increasingly stringent municipal sludge treatment policies, cost reduction and efficiency improvements at wastewater treatment plants, and higher requirements for incoming sludge from downstream treatment facilities, higher standards have been set for sludge moisture content.
[0003] Traditional belt filter presses are designed for single-pass, single-cycle filtration, meaning the sludge filtration process is a single-in, single-out process. Therefore, to reduce the moisture content of the sludge, conventional wastewater treatment plants typically increase the tensile tension of the mesh belts to indirectly increase the pressure exerted on the sludge by the upper and lower belts. However, this approach often introduces the following new problems: (1) When sludge is squeezed by external force, the sludge cake will form an egg-shell-like structure inside to resist the external pressure. At the same time, the dense outer layer formed by the squeeze will block the water from seeping out. The sludge cake forms a sugar core structure, making it difficult to fully discharge the water content inside the sludge through one filter press. Therefore, the effect of overcoming the sludge filter press resistance by simply increasing the tension of the mesh belt is limited.
[0004] (2) The sludge of the traditional belt filter press is compressed from the initial fluid state to the semi-solid state. The compression process is completed under the same set of filter belts and the same set tension. The mesh belt is limited by the fluid dynamic characteristics of the initial sludge in the first stage of the filtration process, so the overall tension cannot be too large.
[0005] (3) Existing belt filter presses all use cylinders to apply tension to the filter belt, thereby generating extrusion pressure on the sludge. However, the filter belts of belt filter presses are all made of polymer materials, which have a certain degree of tensile extensibility. While the cylinder increases the tension on the mesh belt, the mesh belt is often stretched, and the pore structure designed during the weaving process is destroyed. This greatly reduces the lifespan of the filter belt and makes the pores of the mesh belt unstable, thus affecting the water permeability of the filter belt and having a reverse effect on the dewatering and filtration of sludge. However, in order to further increase the moisture content, the cylinder must apply greater tension to the mesh surface to convert it into extrusion pressure on the sludge. These two contradictory directions make it impossible for traditional belt filter presses to further reduce the moisture content of sludge through tension.
[0006] Secondly, in this technical field, in order to further reduce the water content of sludge, inorganic chemical agents such as quicklime are used to chemically break down the sludge. However, this method not only increases the dry weight of the sludge and the treatment cost, but also affects the utilization value of the sludge in the subsequent resource recovery process.

This pressing-breaking-pressing process significantly reduces the moisture content of sludge beyond the approximately 80% limit of traditional belt filter presses. Simultaneously, it avoids the use of inorganic chemical agents such as quicklime and polyferric sulfate for cell wall breaking, thereby improving the calorific value and environmental performance of the produced sludge.

The material to be pressed (sludge) is pumped into the upper end of the primary upper filter belt 21A of the primary filter press 2 through a pipeline. The primary filter press motor 20 drives the primary upper filter belt 21A to rotate, feeding the sludge into the wedge-shaped pre-pressing zone formed by the primary upper filter belt 21A and the primary lower filter belt 21B. The sludge is held by the primary upper filter belt 21A and the primary lower filter belt 21B and fed into the primary pressing roller group 22, which consists of five primary pressing rollers, completing the primary pressing. The resulting sludge cake is scraped off and separated by the primary upper scraper 23A and the primary lower scraper 23B, falling into the crushing chamber 31 of the crushing and breaking device 3. It is then crushed by rotation. After the cell wall breaking mechanism crushes and loosens the primary filter cake, it continues to fall onto the platform of the secondary lower filter belt 41B. Driven by the secondary filter press motor 40, the crushed and broken filter material is clamped by the secondary upper filter belt 41A and the secondary lower filter belt 41B and fed into two rows of secondary press rollers that are parallel to each other in number and position. The bottom row of secondary press rollers lifts up and contacts the upper row of secondary press rollers to provide extrusion pressure to the crushed and broken filter material. The secondary filter cake produced by the secondary pressing is separated and detached by the scrapers of the secondary upper scraper 43A and the secondary lower scraper 43B and falls to the collection, completing the final pressing. Example 2
[0036] like Figure 5 The step-press belt filter press shown in Embodiment 2 differs from the step-press belt filter press provided in Embodiment 1 in that the arrangement of the secondary pressing rollers in the secondary pressing roller group 42 is different. The secondary pressing roller group 42 is composed of several secondary pressing rollers 42 arranged in an S-shape with staggered vertical alignment.
[0037] The following comparative experiment uses a stepped pressing belt filter press provided in Example 1. Only the first-stage filter press device 2 of the stepped pressing belt filter press provided by this utility model is used as a traditional belt filter press for comparison, and only two-stage pressing is used without turning on the crushing and breaking device 3 for comparison. The results of the comparative experiment are shown in Table 1. Under the same conditions of sludge type, PAM flocculant dosage and sludge feed, the stepped pressing belt filter press can further reduce the moisture content of the sludge by about 6 percentage points on the basis of the traditional single-pass single-press sludge moisture content. However, it is obvious that by using stepped pressing and crushing in combination, the crushing and breaking effect can further reduce the moisture content of the sludge by about 12 percentage points compared with the traditional single-pass single-press sludge.
