Description

Technology sector

[0001] The technical solution concerns the automatic execution of sedimentation analysis of water in water purification and water treatment plants. Current state of the art

[0002] Currently, sedimentation analysis methods are available that are operated by personnel. The water to be analyzed is poured into a measuring cylinder, and after a predetermined time, the amount of sediment that has settled at the bottom of the cylinder is measured. The cylinder is then emptied, rinsed, and ready for the next sedimentation analysis. Sedimentation analysis allows the determination of the amount of activated sludge. If the analyzed water contains too little or too much activated sludge, the water in the activated sludge tank must be treated to ensure the amount of activated sludge is within the acceptable range. For example, excess activated sludge can be removed.

[0003] The disadvantage of the current state of the art is that the entire sedimentation analysis is performed by a human, making the actual analysis susceptible to human-induced deviations and inaccuracies. Therefore, a solution would be desirable that delivers more accurate results in every sedimentation analysis, results that are not affected by human error or inaccuracies. The principle of the technical solution

[0004] The system for automatic water sedimentation analysis, which consists of a measuring cylinder with inlet and outlet, a pump for filling and rinsing the measuring cylinder, an electronically controlled shut-off valve, a cleaning water supply line, a water supply line for analysis, and a camera, addresses the shortcomings of current technology to a certain extent. The pump is connected to the inlet, the cleaning water supply line, and the water supply line for analysis. The shut-off valve is connected to the outlet of the measuring cylinder. The camera is aimed at the measuring cylinder to capture images of it.The system for automatic sedimentation analysis of the water further includes a control unit with a machine learning module trained for image analysis, whereby the camera is connected to the control unit via communication technology and the control unit is connected to the closing valve and the pumping system via communication technology.

[0005] The pumping system can consist of a single pump with one or more valves, controlled by the control unit to pump either the water to be analyzed or the cleaning water for rinsing, as needed. Alternatively, the pumping system can comprise multiple pumps. For example, it could include a separate pump for filling the measuring cylinder with the water to be analyzed, connected to the water supply line, and a separate pump for rinsing the measuring cylinder with cleaning water, also connected to the cleaning water supply line. These supply lines could be hoses, connectors, or similar components. The cleaning water supply line could, for instance, include a container of clean water, allowing the clean water to be supplied from the same source as the water to be analyzed.

[0006] The electrically controlled valve is preferably an electrically actuated valve, with this electric actuating mechanism then controlled by the control unit. However, it can also be pneumatically or hydraulically actuated, for example.

[0007] The inlet and outlet of the measuring cylinder are preferably separate openings, but they can also be realized through a common opening. Similarly, the supply lines for the cleaning water and the water to be analyzed can be completely separate, but they can also be partially shared – for example, via a common access point to the measuring cylinder.

[0008] For the sake of simplicity, the use of two separate pumps is described below, but in all variations and versions of this solution, these pumps can be replaced by a pumping system with more or fewer pumps. Similarly, for the sake of simplicity, the electric actuator for the valve is mentioned below, but another type of valve can always be used.

[0009] The control unit preferably includes a memory in which the machine learning software module is stored. Neural networks, for example, are used; experts are familiar with a number of machine learning algorithms that can be employed.

[0010] The machine learning module was preferably trained using training data consisting of photos or videos of the measuring cylinder filled with analyzed water and varying amounts of sediment. These photos were categorized into classification categories. The categories can be limited to "suitable" or "unsuitable," but multiple categories, and therefore multiple output options from the module, are possible. For example, three categories defining the sludge-water interface could classify this interface as low, suitable, or too high. The input for the analysis could thus be a single photo, multiple photos, or a video—meaning the analysis could encompass not only the current sludge concentration but also the rate at which it settles.

[0011] The machine learning module is particularly well-suited for identifying the height of the mud-water interface and, based on this height, for evaluating the sedimentation test, especially for comparing this height with predefined limit values ​​that express an interface that is too low, suitable, and too high.

[0012] The automatic sedimentation analysis works as follows, for example. The control unit sends a signal to the electric actuator of the closing valve, causing it to close. The control unit then sends a signal to the pump to fill the measuring cylinder with the analyzed water. Once the water has been pumped into the measuring cylinder, the pump is switched off. After a predefined time (for example, 30 minutes), the control unit sends a signal to the camera, prompting it to take an image of the measuring cylinder containing the sediment. The image is then sent back to the control unit, where it is analyzed and evaluated by the machine learning module.After the image is processed, the control unit sends a signal to the electric actuator of the shut-off valve, causing it to open and allowing the analyzed water to flow out of the measuring cylinder. The control unit then sends a signal to the pump to flush the measuring cylinder with cleaning water, removing any remaining sludge and other contaminants that could interfere with the next automatic sedimentation analysis. Once flushed, the measuring cylinder is ready for the next sedimentation analysis.

[0013] The control unit is therefore preferably configured to control the pump system and the shut-off valve, to measure the preset time, and, after this time has elapsed, to take a picture with the camera and to analyze the image and evaluate the sedimentation test as part of this analysis. It can further be configured to control the shut-off valve to drain the measuring cylinder after the end of the test and to control the pump system to flush the measuring cylinder.

[0014] The measuring cylinder is preferably made of transparent material. It can be made of plastic or glass. The measuring cylinder can be marked with lines to determine the volume of the liquids or the different levels of the liquids.

[0015] The measuring cylinder has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is preferably located in the upper part of the cylinder, and the outlet is preferably located in the lower part. The water to be analyzed or the cleaning water is introduced into the measuring cylinder via the inlet. The water to be analyzed or the cleaning water is discharged from the measuring cylinder via the outlet. The outlet can direct the water from the measuring cylinder into a wastewater tank or drain, or the water can be directed from the measuring cylinder into a tank containing the analyzed water.

[0016] The pump for filling the measuring cylinder with analyzed water is preferably connected to the tank containing the analyzed water. The tank containing the analyzed water could be a tank with activated sludge in a wastewater treatment plant, etc. The pump is preferably switched on and off based on a signal from the control unit. The filling pump is, for example, a turbine pump, etc.

[0017] The pump for rinsing the measuring cylinder is preferably connected to the cleaning water supply. The cleaning water is preferably water that does not contain sludge or other impurities that could affect the camera's image acquisition of the measuring cylinder. Therefore, the cleaning water is preferably suitable water that contains no visible impurities and is not turbid. The rinsing pump is preferably switched on and off based on a signal from the control unit. The rinsing pump is, for example, a turbine pump, etc.

[0018] The electric actuator closes the outlet from the measuring cylinder. The electric actuator opens and closes the valve. It receives its commands from the control unit. The valve can be a ball valve, etc. In addition to the electric actuator, the valve preferably also includes a manual control element to allow manual operation in case of a malfunction of the electric actuator. This manual control element can be a lever, handle, etc.

[0019] The camera is preferably connected to a 220 V mains power supply. However, it can also be equipped with a rechargeable battery or a standard battery for power storage. The camera can take video recordings or photographs of the measuring cylinder when the control unit sends a signal.

[0020] Preferably, a photograph is taken of the measuring cylinder, as this reduces the demands on the performance of the control unit (which analyzes and evaluates the image capture) and also the demands on the memory of the control unit in which the image capture is stored.

[0021] The camera is aimed at the measuring cylinder to take pictures of it. The camera can be mounted on a stand or other supporting structure to ensure proper alignment with the measuring cylinder. The camera's mounting on the supporting structure is preferably removable and adjustable.

[0022] The control unit includes a machine learning module, specifically an image analysis module that utilizes machine learning. The control unit is preferably equipped with a storage module in which all necessary data is stored. The machine learning module preferably receives data from the camera (camera recording) and analyzes this data. The analysis can also include a comparison of the acquired data (e.g., the height of the sludge-water interface) with the stored data. The stored data can consist of several data sets: the first set can correspond to an insufficient amount of sludge in the analyzed water, the second set to the correct amount of sludge, and the third set to an excess of sludge.If the analyzed data from the machine learning module matches the data for the correct amount of sludge in the analyzed water, the control unit can send a signal to the operator indicating that the sedimentation test has been completed with a result within the desired sludge quantity. Conversely, if the analyzed data from the machine learning module indicates an insufficient or excessive amount of sludge in the analyzed water, the control unit can send a warning signal to the operator to address the sludge in the tank from which the water sample was taken.

[0023] The control unit with the machine learning module therefore preferably evaluates the entire sedimentation analysis itself and only hands over the result of this sedimentation analysis to the user / operating personnel.

[0024] The control unit can start automatic sedimentation analysis either upon request from the operator or automatically after a specific time period. This time period could be, for example, 1 hour or 6 hours, etc.

[0025] The system preferably includes a device to inform the operating personnel of the result of the sedimentation analysis. Such a device can be a display, an audio device, or simply a system with indicator lights, etc. The device for informing the operating personnel of the result of the sedimentation analysis is preferably connected to the control unit via communication technology; the control unit can therefore send a signal to this device to inform the user / operating personnel of the result of the sedimentation analysis.

[0026] The control unit can be connected to the pump for removing excess sludge from the tank containing the analyzed water. The control unit can send a signal to this pump to initiate the removal of the excess sludge. Preferably, the control unit sends the signal to the pump only after the sedimentation analysis has been evaluated, specifically when the sedimentation analysis has determined that the analyzed water contains excess sludge.

[0027] The pump for removing excess sludge is preferably located in the tank from which the analyzed water originates. This pump allows the sludge to be extracted from the lower part of the tank (i.e., the sludge that has settled at the bottom, etc.).

[0028] The communication connection between the camera, the electric drive of the closing valve, the filling pump and the rinsing pump can be made with or without a cable.

[0029] The advantage of the system for automatic water sedimentation analysis is that it eliminates human error associated with performing this analysis. All processes related to sedimentation analysis are automated; the operating personnel only need to be informed of the results of the completed analysis.

[0030] Another advantage of the automatic sedimentation analysis system is its lower price. There is no need to hire an employee to perform the sedimentation analysis at the desired intervals; the analysis can be carried out automatically at the required intervals, or the operator (who oversees the entire operation of the wastewater treatment plant, etc.) can issue a manual command to perform the sedimentation analysis.

[0031] The pumping system preferably comprises a pump for filling the measuring cylinder with analyzed water, which is connected to the supply line of the analyzed water, and a pump for rinsing the measuring cylinder with the cleaning water, which is connected to the supply line of the cleaning water.

[0032] The system for automatic sedimentation analysis of water preferably also has a housing. The measuring cylinder is preferably located inside the housing. The housing prevents unwanted contact between the measuring cylinder and the operating personnel moving near it, as such contact (impact) could damage or destroy the measuring cylinder.

[0033] The housing can have a viewing window made of transparent material, or the entire housing can be made of transparent material so that the camera can take pictures of the measuring cylinder. The camera can be attached to the housing containing the measuring cylinder.

[0034] The housing may have a door. The operating personnel can use the door to carry out maintenance work on the measuring cylinder, etc.

[0035] The housing preferably also contains the camera and the electrically actuated shut-off valve. The housing preferably has an opening for the inlet (from the pump for filling and the pump for rinsing) and an opening for the outlet (i.e., the outlet from the measuring cylinder).

[0036] The camera preferably has a night vision module. The housing is preferably made of an opaque and light-impermeable material, such as sheet metal, to prevent algae growth on the walls of the measuring cylinder. Using a camera with a night vision module minimizes algae growth on the walls of the measuring cylinder, as the actual sedimentation analysis can take place in darkness.

[0037] The housing is preferably thermally insulated from the environment. Thanks to this thermal insulation, measurement deviations caused by temperature fluctuations can be minimized, as sudden heating or cooling of the analyzed water in the measuring cylinder can affect the result of the sedimentation analysis.

[0038] The thermal insulation of the housing from the environment can be achieved, for example, with a material that is not thermally conductive, such as polystyrene, etc.

[0039] The system for automatic water sedimentation analysis is preferably equipped with a thermoregulating element. The thermoregulating element is preferably located inside the housing. The thermoregulating element preferably maintains a constant temperature inside the housing. With the aid of the thermoregulating element, the temperature inside the housing can be kept constant even in the event of significant deviations between the outside temperature and the desired temperature (for example, in winter when the temperature outside the housing is below 0 °C and the water in the measuring cylinder could freeze, etc.).

[0040] The thermoregulating element allows the temperature inside the housing to be raised or lowered to the desired level. The thermoregulating element can therefore heat or cool the interior of the housing as needed. This element could, for example, be a heating element.

[0041] The thermoregulating element preferably includes a sensor for measuring the temperature inside the housing. The thermoregulating element can be connected to the control unit via communication technology, or it can be completely independent of the control unit. The operator can set the desired temperature inside the housing using the thermoregulating element.

[0042] The measuring cylinder preferably has an overflow for draining excess analyzed water. The overflow can be used to drain water that is still pumped into the measuring cylinder even when it is already full. The overflow can completely remove the excess analyzed water from the automatic sedimentation analysis system, or it can be connected to the outlet of the measuring cylinder downstream of the shut-off valve. The overflow ensures that the measuring cylinder is always filled with the same amount of analyzed water, thus improving the accuracy and repeatability of the sedimentation analysis.

[0043] The camera is preferably connected to the control unit via the internet. Both the camera and the control unit can be assigned their own IP addresses. The camera can be connected to the internet via a standard internet connection. The control unit can also be connected to the internet via a standard internet connection.

[0044] The advantage of connecting the camera and control unit via the internet is that the control unit does not need to be located near the camera, yet information is exchanged between them without significant delay (only milliseconds). The control unit can be located in a data center, while the camera is at the site of the automated sedimentation analysis; these locations can be several kilometers apart.

[0045] The system for automatic water sedimentation analysis preferably includes a display to show the results of the analysis. The control unit is preferably connected to this display via communication technology. The display can be on a mobile device used by the operator or on a screen (possibly a computer with a monitor). After the automatic sedimentation analysis is complete, a message will be displayed to the operator / user regarding the results, indicating whether the amount of sludge is within the tolerance limits, whether there was too little or too much sludge, etc. Based on this result, the operator / user can adjust the conditions in the tank from which the analyzed water was drawn (for example, by pumping out excess sludge).The individual messages about the sedimentation analyses performed can be stored in the display device so that they can be evaluated retrospectively by the user / operating personnel.

[0046] The control unit is preferably connected to the display via radio communication. The control unit can also be connected to the display via the internet, etc.

[0047] The control unit is preferably connected to the filling pump, the flushing pump, the electric actuator of the shut-off valve, and the thermoregulating element via the internet. Each element of the automatic sedimentation analysis system that is connected to the control unit can therefore be assigned its own IP address. The control unit can consist of a local part and a main part. The local part of the control unit can be located near the site where the actual sedimentation analysis takes place. The main part can be located several kilometers away from the local part. The main part is connected to the local part via communication technology. The machine learning module can be located in the local part of the control unit, where the image analysis from the camera can be performed.Only the result data can be sent to the main part for further processing (sending to the display or archiving the information in the storage module, etc.).

[0048] A control unit can be connected via communication technology to more than just one camera, one shut-off valve, one filling pump, and one flushing pump. A single control unit can manage and evaluate multiple parallel sedimentation analyses. Each automated sedimentation analysis can take place at a different location, even if the individual locations are several kilometers apart. The control unit can be located in a central control center where the automated sedimentation analysis for all locations is performed.

[0049] The inlet to the measuring cylinder can be equipped with a diverter valve. This diverter valve preferably controls the supply of the analyzed water and the cleaning water. It prevents the analyzed water from entering the cleaning water supply line, thus preventing contamination of the cleaning water line or tank. The diverter valve is preferably equipped with an electric actuator. The diverter valve (or its electric actuator) is preferably connected to the control unit via a communication link. The signal from the control unit opens or closes the diverter valve as needed. Explanation of the drawings

Examples of the implementation of technical solutions

[0051] The technical solution is further explained in the implementation examples with reference to the associated sketches. First example of implementation

[0052] In the first embodiment, the automatic sedimentation analysis system comprises a control unit 3, a measuring cylinder 1, a pump 6 for filling the measuring cylinder 1 with analyzed water, a pump 7 for rinsing the measuring cylinder 1 with cleaning water, a camera 2, a display, a housing 5, a thermoregulating element 14, a shut-off valve 4 with an electric actuator, and a changeover valve 8 with an electric actuator. The automatic sedimentation analysis system is used in Fig. displayed (the display is not shown here)

[0053] The control unit 3 comprises a machine learning module and a storage module. The control unit 3 is connected via communication technology to the thermoregulating element 14, the filling pump 6, the rinsing pump 7, the camera 2, the electric actuator of the closing valve 4, and the electric actuator of the diverter valve 8. In this exemplary embodiment, the communication connection is wireless.

[0054] The measuring cylinder 1 is made of transparent plastic. The measuring cylinder 1 has an inlet 9 and an outlet 10. The water to be analyzed, and optionally the cleaning water, is supplied to the measuring cylinder 1 through the inlet 9, and the analyzed water, and optionally the cleaning water, is discharged from the measuring cylinder 1 through the outlet 10. The electrically actuated closing valve 4 is connected to the outlet 10 of the measuring cylinder 1, which closes the outlet 10 from the measuring cylinder 1 as needed. The measuring cylinder 1 has an overflow 11, as shown in Fig. The overflow 11 drains excess analyzed water from measuring cylinder 1. This ensures a consistent volume of analyzed water for automatic sedimentation analysis. The overflow 11 is connected to the outlet 10 of measuring cylinder 1 downstream of the electrically actuated shut-off valve 4.

[0055] The switching valve 8 with electric actuator is connected to the inlet 9 to the measuring cylinder 1, as shown in the Fig. The diagram shows that the electrically actuated switching valve 8 controls the supply of the analyzed water and the cleaning water to the measuring cylinder 1. The switching valve 8 also prevents the analyzed water from entering the cleaning water line.

[0056] The housing 5 consists of sheet metal with a polystyrene layer. The housing 5 has a removable wall to allow easy access for operators to the interior for maintenance and repair work. The housing 5 encloses the interior, which contains the measuring cylinder 1, the camera 2, the electrically actuated closing valve 4, the electrically actuated switching valve 8, and the thermoregulating element 14. The housing 5 prevents external light from entering the interior. The polystyrene layer provides thermal insulation from the external environment.

[0057] Housing 5 does not allow any outside light to enter. The interior of housing 5 is not illuminated by visible light.

[0058] The thermoregulating element 14 is attached to the wall of the housing 5, which defines the interior of the housing 5. The thermoregulating element 14 ensures a constant temperature inside the housing 5. The interior is heated or cooled to a constant temperature by the thermoregulating element 14. The thermoregulating element 14 has a probe to monitor the temperature inside the housing 5. Based on the measurements from this probe, the interior of the housing 5 is cooled or heated to maintain a constant temperature.

[0059] Pump 6, used to fill measuring cylinder 1 with analyzed water, is connected to the tank containing the analyzed water. Pump 6 is communicatively linked to control unit 3. Based on the signal from control unit 3, pump 6 is switched on or off. When pump 6 is switched on, the analyzed water is pumped from the tank into measuring cylinder 1.

[0060] Pump 7, used to flush measuring cylinder 1 with cleaning water, is connected to the cleaning water tank. Pump 7 is connected to control unit 3 via communication. When control unit 3 sends a signal to the electric actuator of diverter valve 8 to open the diverter valve 8, and simultaneously sends a signal to pump 7 to activate it, cleaning water is pumped into measuring cylinder 1. This water flushes the cylinder, removing sediment and other contaminants.

[0061] Camera 2 is aligned (adjusted) to measuring cylinder 1, as shown in Fig. The camera 2 has a night vision module. Camera 2 also takes pictures of the measuring cylinder 1 when the measuring cylinder 1 is not illuminated by ambient light or an external light source. Camera 2 is connected to the control unit 3 via the internet, as shown in Fig. depicted.

[0062] In this case, the display is a mobile device used by the operating personnel. The display is connected to control unit 3 via the internet.

[0063] The automatic sedimentation analysis proceeds as follows. Control unit 3 sends a signal to the electric actuator of the closing valve 4, causing it to close. Control unit 3 then sends a signal to pump 6 to begin filling the measuring cylinder 1 with the analyzed water. Once the measuring cylinder 1 is full (and any excess water has drained off via overflow 11), control unit 3 sends a signal to pump 6 to stop filling. The analyzed water remains in measuring cylinder 1 for half an hour, during which time the sludge and other impurities settle at the bottom. After half an hour, control unit 3 sends a signal to camera 2.Camera 2, equipped with a night vision module, takes a picture of measuring cylinder 1, where the sludge and other substances have settled at the bottom of the analyzed water. The image from camera 2 is transmitted to control unit 3 via the communication link.

[0064] The machine learning module analyzes the sample. It determines the level (i.e., the amount) of sediment (sludge) in the analyzed water. If the sediment level is lower than the predefined threshold, a warning is sent to the display. If the sediment level is at the desired level, a message is sent to the display indicating that the automatic sedimentation analysis has been performed and the amount of sediment is within the target range. If the sediment level is higher than the predefined threshold, a warning is sent to the display indicating that the amount of sediment is too high and that the operator in the tank from which the analyzed water was drawn should adjust the amount of sludge and other substances that make up the sediment.

[0065] All data is stored in the memory module. After the automatic sedimentation analysis is completed (i.e., after the corresponding message is sent to the display), control unit 3 sends a signal to the electric actuator of the closing valve 4, causing it to open. The analyzed water is then discharged from measuring cylinder 1 via output 10. Control unit 3 sends a signal to the electric actuator of the diverter valve 8, causing it to open and pump the cleaning water into measuring cylinder 1. Control unit 3 then sends a signal to pump 7 to flush the system, pumping the cleaning water into measuring cylinder 1. Measuring cylinder 1 is thus flushed with the cleaning water. The cleaning water is discharged from measuring cylinder 1 via output 10.After the measuring cylinder 1 has been flushed, a signal is sent from the control unit 3 to the pump 7 for flushing and to the electric drive of the changeover valve 8 so that the changeover valve 8 closes and the pump 7 is switched off for flushing. Alternative versions

[0066] Alternative versions are described below. Each alternative version only describes the aspects that distinguish it from the first version listed or from the other alternative versions. Any aspects not described in the description of an alternative version are identical to the first version listed or one of the other alternative versions.

[0067] In the alternative embodiment, camera 2 is located outside the housing 5. The housing 5 has an opening 12 for the measuring cylinder 1. Camera 2 monitors the measuring cylinder 1 through this opening 12. The opening 12 is covered with a transparent plastic plate to prevent dirt, etc., from entering the interior of the housing 5. The housing 5 with the opening 12 for the measuring cylinder 1 is located in the Fig. The control elements 13 are attached to the housing. These control elements are connected to the flushing pump 7 and the filling pump 6 via communication. In the event of a malfunction, the control elements 13 are used to switch off the flushing pump 7 and the filling pump 6.
