Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a simulation experimental technology for the generation and emission mechanism and transport and distribution law of toxic gases in confined spaces such as sewage treatment ponds and pickling ponds in industrial and commercial sectors, and in particular to a simulation experimental device for the generation and emission mechanism and transport of toxic gases in confined spaces such as ponds. Background Technology

[0002] Accidents in confined spaces are frequent and widespread in the industrial and commercial sectors, with sewage treatment ponds and pickling tanks being the most common locations for such accidents. According to accident statistics and analysis, gas hazards are the primary cause of these accidents, especially toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide, which are characterized by their sudden onset, rapid diffusion, and extremely high safety risks.

[0003] The types of toxic gases and their generation and emission influencing factors in typical confined spaces such as wastewater treatment ponds and pickling tanks are complex, influenced by raw materials, production processes, and other factors. Their transport and distribution within the pond are also affected by the pond's structure, inlets and outlets, and external meteorological conditions. To scientifically assess and effectively prevent accidents at the source, it is necessary to study the generation and emission mechanisms and transport and distribution patterns of toxic gases in typical confined spaces such as wastewater treatment ponds and pickling tanks. Currently, there are few studies on the generation and emission mechanisms and transport patterns of toxic gases in typical confined spaces such as wastewater treatment ponds and pickling tanks in industrial and commercial sectors, and existing research methods have significant limitations. Field measurements are limited by operational safety and uncontrollable environmental factors, making systematic and reproducible studies difficult. Existing laboratory simulation devices are often single-function and cannot simultaneously reproduce complex boundary conditions (such as dynamically changing external weather, fluid disturbances within the pond, and multiple ventilation modes) and their coupling effects, especially lacking effective means for visually tracking the movement trajectory of pollutants.

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

After ensuring environmental safety, perform equipment maintenance and data backup analysis.

[0106] Example:

[0107] An experimental method for simulating the generation and emission mechanism and transport of toxic gases in a confined space, the method comprising the following steps:

[0108] 1) Experimental preparation and simulation of basic conditions

[0109] (1) Start the main control system and initialize and preset the parameters of each subsystem through PLC and touch screen, including the target parameters of the external atmospheric environment simulation system, the sampling frequency of the data acquisition system (such as gas concentration being collected once every 10 seconds and liquid physicochemical parameters being collected once every 30 minutes), and the initial flow rate of the pollutant release system.

[0110] (2) Atmospheric environment simulation. Start the industrial blower, air conditioner, and humidifier, and set specific parameters according to the experimental requirements: wind speed setting range (which can be adjusted by the blower speed), temperature setting range (cooling / heating mode switching), and humidity setting range (humidifier atomization control). The external environment monitoring sensor provides real-time feedback data to form a closed-loop control, ensuring that the fluctuation range of environmental parameters does not exceed ±2% and maintaining a stable simulation state.

[0111] (3) Simulation of substances in the pool. Start the water supply and drainage system and pump the pre-prepared sewage or pickling solution to the lower part of the pool body through the water injection pipeline. The liquid level is monitored in real time by the liquid level sensor installed at the bottom of the pool to simulate the substances present in the sewage treatment pool or pickling pool. When the target liquid level is reached, the main control system automatically closes the water injection solenoid valve to complete the simulation of the actual liquid environment in the pool.

[0112] 2) Simulation of pollutant generation and release

[0113] (1) If standard gas cylinders are used for direct gas supply: the gas cylinder outlet is connected in sequence to a pressure reducing valve (adjust the outlet pressure to 0.1-0.2MPa), a safety solenoid valve, and a precision filter, and finally flows into the gas mixing buffer tank. The gas release rate is controlled at 0.1-1L / min by adjusting the mass flow controller through the main control system, and the mixed gas is injected into the main body of the pool through the release device.

[0114] (2) If an embedded reaction tank is used to simulate biochemical gas production: add substrate (such as sulfur-containing organic matter) and bacteria to the embedded reaction tank at the bottom of the main body of the tank, start the micro heater in the reaction tank, control the reaction temperature at 25-35℃ through the temperature sensor, and adjust the pH value in the reaction tank to 6.5-7.5 to simulate the actual biochemical gas production process.

[0115] Release method selection: Based on experimental requirements, select microporous aeration release heads distributed at the bottom of the pool (simulating gas production from sludge at the bottom of the pool) or sidewall diffusion release heads arranged in the lower part of the pool wall (simulating gas production from biofilm on the pool wall) to ensure that the pollutant release location is consistent with the actual scenario.

[0116] (4) During the experiment, the gas leak detection sensor works continuously. Once an abnormal leak is detected, the system will trigger an alarm and automatically shut off the gas source solenoid valve.

[0117] 3) Data Acquisition and Trajectory Tracking

[0118] (1) Start the data acquisition system to collect the concentrations of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and combustible gas in the sewage treatment tank and the wind speed online. At the same time, collect the wind speed, temperature and humidity of the atmospheric environment and record the physicochemical indicators (such as pH, COD, BOD and salinity).

[0119] (2) Start the pollutant movement trajectory testing system: release the fluorescent tracer and simultaneously turn on the ultraviolet light source array arranged on the four walls and top of the pool body to excite the fluorescent tracer to emit fluorescence. High-speed cameras installed on the top and sides of the pool body are equipped with filters that match the emission wavelength of the tracer to capture and record the diffusion path and distribution cloud map of pollutants in the pool in real time. The image data is synchronously stored in the hard disk of the main control system for subsequent trajectory analysis.

[0120] 4) Testing of gas generation and emission mechanisms and distribution patterns under different conditions

[0121] (1) Natural state. All disturbance simulation systems and mechanical ventilation systems were shut down, and only the external atmospheric environment simulation system was kept running stably. The wastewater / pickled liquid was allowed to ferment over time. The gas concentration and physicochemical parameters of the wastewater / pickled liquid were collected during this period, and the relationship between gas concentration and physicochemical parameters as well as fermentation time was analyzed.

[0122] (2) Disturbance state. The disturbance simulation system was started, and the main control system controlled the waterproof motor to move along the horizontal slide rail at a speed of 0.1-0.5 m / s. At the same time, the motor speed was adjusted to drive the spiral stirring blade to stir the liquid in the tank at different speeds of 50-200 r / min. Each speed gradient was run stably for 1 hour. The data acquisition system recorded the differences in gas release rate and spatial distribution under different disturbance intensities to study the promoting / inhibiting effect of fluid disturbance on gas release.

[0123] Natural ventilation mode. The main control system adjusts the automatic opening and closing of the pool's main cover, setting three operating conditions: cover fully open (100% opening area), only the circular inlet / outlet on the cover open (10%-15% opening area), and cover fully closed (control group). Each condition is maintained for 2 hours, and the rate of decrease in the concentration of toxic and harmful gases in the pool over time is recorded. The dilution effect of natural ventilation on the gases under different opening and closing states is compared to determine the optimal natural ventilation method.

[0124] Mechanical ventilation status. Start the mechanical ventilation system and set three ventilation modes:

[0125] Mode 1 Positive pressure air supply only: Start the axial flow fan, adjust the air speed of the main air supply duct to 2-4m / s, open the electric air valves of the air vents on the top and side walls of the pool body, and close the lower air vents;

[0126] Mode 2 Negative pressure exhaust only: Start the centrifugal fan, adjust the main exhaust duct speed to 3-5m / s, open the electric air valves at the bottom and side walls of the pool body, and close the upper air vent.

[0127] Mode 3 Positive and Negative Pressure Combination: Simultaneously start the axial flow fan and centrifugal fan, set the wind speed to 2m / s and 3m / s respectively, and open all air outlet electric dampers.

[0128] Each mode was run stably for 1 hour, and the time it took for the gas concentration in the pool to drop to a safe threshold was recorded. The gas exhaust efficiency of different mechanical ventilation modes was analyzed.

[0129] 5) End of Experiment and System Cleanup

[0130] (1) After the experiment, the main control system shuts down each subsystem in the preset order: first shut down the pollutant rapid generation and release system, then shut down the external atmospheric environment simulation system, disturbance simulation system, pollutant movement trajectory test system, and finally stop the data acquisition system to ensure that each device shuts down in an orderly manner.

[0131] (2) Start the water supply and drainage system and discharge the waste liquid in the pool through the drain pipe at the lowest point of the pool bottom. The waste liquid must be neutralized and discharged only after it meets the discharge standards. If there are residual pollutants on the inner wall of the pool body, open the water injection solenoid valve to inject clean water and start the disturbance simulation system to stir for 10-15 minutes for cleaning. After cleaning, discharge the wastewater. Then turn on the mechanical ventilation system to force ventilation of the automatically opening and closing pool body for more than 30 minutes. Equipment maintenance can only be carried out after the gas sensor detects that the environment is safe.

[0132] (3) Data backup and organization: Export the experimental data stored in the main control system, including gas concentration, environmental parameters, liquid physicochemical parameters, and high-speed camera images, to a USB flash drive and simultaneously upload them to the cloud storage. The data is also labeled to facilitate subsequent modeling analysis and result traceability.
