Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment system and a wastewater treatment method for treating wastewater. [Background technology]

[0002] Domestic wastewater discharged from drainage facilities (water-related facilities) such as washrooms, toilets, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens contains nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, and their discharge can lead to river pollution, etc. Of these, nitrogen compounds are found in large amounts in domestic wastewater and serve as a nutrient source for microorganisms, which can lead to the problem of eutrophication in closed water areas.

[0003] Biological treatment using nitrification / denitrification is used to treat nitrogen compounds in domestic wastewater. Through biological treatment, nitrogen compounds are converted to nitric acid and then released into the atmosphere as nitrogen gas. However, when wastewater contains a large amount of nitrogen compounds or when the concentration of nitrogen compounds in the wastewater is high, the nitrification / denitrification reaction in biological treatment takes time. If the treated water is filtered without sufficient biological treatment, the quality, odor, and color of the treated water may not be maintained. This can cause discomfort to users and damage to equipment, especially in circulating water treatment systems.

[0004] The main nitrogen compound in domestic wastewater is ammonia nitrogen, which is generated from human waste. In addition to biological treatment, chemical treatment using an oxidizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite is known as a treatment for ammonia nitrogen (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1). With such chemical treatment, ammonia nitrogen can be released into the atmosphere as nitrogen gas without passing through nitric acid. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Non-Patent Document 1] "Chemical denitrification method for wastewater containing nitrogen compounds," retrieved February 9, 2024, [URL]https: / / www.city.yokohama.lg.jp / kurashi / machizukuri-kankyo / kasen-gesuido / gesuido / shori / sokutei / chosa / koudosyori.files / 0146_20180827.pdf Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] As described in Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1, by using a chemical treatment method that uses an oxidizing agent, ammonia nitrogen can be released into the atmosphere as nitrogen gas without going through nitric acid.

[0008] However, as described in Patent Document 1, when a chemical treatment method using an oxidizing agent is performed using a reaction tank (chemical treatment tank), the problem arises that the configuration of the entire wastewater treatment system becomes complicated because a chemical treatment tank must be provided separately from the biological treatment tank.

[0009] On the other hand, if the wastewater contains a small amount of nutrients for microorganisms, the efficiency of biological treatment in the biological treatment tank will decrease when the wastewater flows into the biological treatment tank. In other words, it is desirable for the wastewater to contain an appropriate amount of nutrients for microorganisms in order to ensure efficient biological treatment.

[0010] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wastewater treatment system and a wastewater treatment method that can efficiently treat wastewater while having a simple overall configuration. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] As the inventors of the present invention conducted extensive research to solve the above problems, they came to the conclusion that if drainage equipment installed upstream that receives and treats wastewater and discharges wastewater is controlled to increase the amount of wastewater, decompose the materials to be treated in the wastewater, and supply the materials to be treated in the wastewater based on the state of the treated water in a treatment tank installed downstream, it may be possible to treat wastewater efficiently while maintaining an overall simple configuration.

[0012] Similarly, the inventors thought that if the treatment tank installed downstream was controlled based on the state of the wastewater in the drainage equipment installed upstream, or by combining these, it would be possible to efficiently treat wastewater while maintaining an overall simple configuration.

[0013] Based on this idea, the inventors have repeatedly tried and tested various methods to solve the problems of the present invention, and as a result, have succeeded in creating a wastewater treatment system and method whose basic elements are a wastewater treatment facility, a treatment tank, and a control means.

[0015] According to the present invention, by predicting or detecting the state of treated water in the treatment tank and controlling the drainage equipment in a timely manner, and / or by predicting or detecting the state of wastewater in the drainage equipment and controlling the treatment tank in a timely manner, wastewater treatment in the treatment tank can be performed efficiently, thereby keeping the state of treated water in the treatment tank within a predetermined range. As a result, the wastewater treatment system of one embodiment of the present invention can perform wastewater treatment efficiently despite its overall simple configuration.

[0016] According to the present invention, materials to be treated in wastewater can be decomposed more quickly, thereby reducing the load on the treatment tank installed downstream of the wastewater treatment facility. For example, if a wastewater treatment system according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied to the wastewater treatment facility and the downstream treatment tank in a washroom, toilet, bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, etc., it is possible to efficiently oxidize, decompose, and reduce ammonia nitrogen in domestic wastewater. This is expected to enable efficient microbial nitrification / denitrification treatment of the domestic wastewater sent to the wastewater treatment tank. As a result, the present invention allows for appropriate wastewater treatment. Furthermore, since the materials to be treated, which are pollutants, can be decomposed more quickly, damage, dirt, clogging, etc. of the wastewater treatment facility, the treatment tank, and the drainage pipes connected to them can be avoided, and these can be maintained in a clean state.

[0017] For example, in large-scale water treatment systems, the amount of water retained in the treatment tank is large, so the quality of the influent and the amount of treated outflow have little impact on the efficiency of wastewater treatment in the treatment tank. However, in small-scale circulating water treatment systems, the smaller the system, the less water must be retained in the treatment tank, so the quality of the influent and the amount of treated outflow have a significant impact on treatment efficiency. In particular, when small-scale circulating water treatment systems are applied to the treatment of household wastewater, the type, physical and chemical properties, and amount of treated material vary greatly depending on the source of wastewater, such as the washroom, toilet, bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room, which significantly affects the wastewater treatment efficiency. Furthermore, if a large amount of wastewater containing surfactant components, such as bath water or laundry water, enters the treatment tank at once, there is a risk of foaming and overflow during the treatment process. Therefore, by applying a wastewater treatment system according to one embodiment of the present invention to a small-scale circulating water treatment system, the wastewater treatment materials in the wastewater treatment facility or in the wastewater discharged from the wastewater treatment facility can be decomposed to a degree that reduces the treatment load in the downstream treatment tank. This suppresses significant fluctuations in the quality of the wastewater flowing into the small-scale circulating water treatment system and keeps it within a certain range, thereby maintaining the treatment efficiency of the small-scale circulating water treatment system. Furthermore, by maintaining the treatment efficiency of the small-scale circulating water treatment system, it is possible to treat the wastewater at a faster rate than conventional water treatment systems, allowing purified water to be supplied immediately upon user request. Therefore, according to the present invention, the burden on the wastewater treatment system can be reduced and wastewater can be purified and recycled in a shorter time than usual.

[0019] Each aspect of the present invention will be described in detail below, but the present invention can take various forms as long as it achieves its object.

[0020] Unless otherwise specified, each term in this specification is used in the sense commonly used by those skilled in the art of water treatment and the like, and should not be construed as having an unduly limiting meaning. Furthermore, the speculations and theories made in this specification are based on the inventors' knowledge and experience to date, and therefore the present invention is not limited solely to such speculations and theories.

[0021] "Comprise," "contain," and "include" mean that elements other than those explicitly stated as included may be added (same meaning as "comprise at least"), but also encompass "consist of" and "essentially consist of." That is, "comprise" can mean including the explicitly stated elements and any one or more elements, consisting of the explicitly stated elements, or essentially consisting of the explicitly stated elements. "Have" is synonymous with "include." Elements include parts, means, ingredients, steps, conditions, parameters, and other limitations. "And / or" means any one or any or all combinations of two or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] Each aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, elements that are less relevant to the present invention are omitted. Note that the direction indicated by the arrow UP (→UP) shown as appropriate in each drawing is the upward direction in the vertical direction.

[0023] [Summary of the Invention] According to one aspect of the present invention, a wastewater treatment system is provided. The wastewater treatment system of the present invention can be broadly divided into three modes. The wastewater treatment system of the first mode of the present invention comprises, as basic elements, a drainage facility, a treatment tank having a detection means, and a control means. The wastewater treatment system of the first mode of the present invention predicts or detects the state of the treated water in the treatment tank and controls the drainage facility installed upstream of the treatment tank so that the state of the treated water falls within a predetermined range. The drainage facility is controlled, for example, to supply water to the drainage facility when the amount of treated material in the treated water is large, or to supply a water treatment promoter, which serves as a nutrient component for microorganisms, to the drainage facility when the amount of treated material in the treated water is small.

[0024] A wastewater treatment system according to a second aspect of the present invention includes, as its basic elements, a drainage facility having a detection means, a treatment tank, and a control means. The wastewater treatment system according to the second aspect of the present invention predicts or detects the state of wastewater in the drainage facility and controls the treatment tank, which is installed downstream of the drainage facility, so that the state of treated water in the treatment tank falls within a predetermined range. The treatment tank is controlled, for example, by discharging treated water into the treatment tank when the amount of wastewater to be treated is small, or by supplying a water treatment promoter, such as an oxidant, that decomposes the treated water to the treatment tank when the amount of wastewater to be treated is large, and / or by supplying water, such as clean water or treated water, to the treatment tank.

[0025] A wastewater treatment system according to a third aspect of the present invention combines the wastewater treatment system according to the first aspect of the present invention with the wastewater treatment system according to the second aspect of the present invention, and includes as its basic elements a drainage facility having a detection means, a treatment tank having a detection means, and a control means. The wastewater treatment system according to the third aspect of the present invention predicts or detects the state of the treated water in the treatment tank and the state of the wastewater in the drainage facility, and controls the drainage facility and the treatment tank so that the state of the treated water in the treatment tank falls within a predetermined range. The control of the treatment tank and the drainage facility may involve, for example, controlling the drainage facility to supply water to the drainage facility when the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water is large, and controlling the treatment tank to supply water or a water treatment promoter such as an oxidant that decomposes the materials to be treated to the treatment tank. Furthermore, when the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water is small, controlling the treatment tank to discharge the treated water into the treatment tank and controlling the drainage facility to supply a water treatment promoter that serves as a nutrient for microorganisms to the wastewater facility.

[0026] The state of the treated water and wastewater is detected (or predicted) by detection means provided in the treatment tank and the drainage equipment, respectively. When the detection means detects the state of the treated water and wastewater, i.e., the presence / absence of the substance to be treated, it sends a signal to the control means. The control means, upon receiving a signal from the detection means, controls the drainage equipment if it receives a signal from the treatment tank, and controls the treatment tank if it receives a signal from the drainage equipment.

[0027] As a result, fluctuations in the state of the treated water in the treatment tank can be suppressed, and the treatment tank is not placed under heavy load by the wastewater received from the drainage equipment, allowing for efficient wastewater treatment.

[0028] [Wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment] A wastewater treatment system according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a drainage facility, a treatment tank having a detection means, and a control means.

[0029] A specific embodiment of the wastewater treatment system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The wastewater treatment system 1 includes a drainage facility 10, a treatment tank 60 having a detection means 30, and a control means 40. For convenience, Fig. 1 illustrates wastewater 11 contained in the drainage facility 10 and treated water 61 to be treated in the treatment tank 60.

[0030] The drainage equipment 10, also known as plumbing equipment, is equipment configured to receive water from outside the system in a washroom, toilet, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, etc., and discharge water (drainage) outside the system, and may be, for example, a toilet, sink, bathtub, washing machine, and associated equipment such as a drain, drain trap, and catch basin, but is not limited to these.

[0031] The drainage system 10 has a water treatment promoter supply means 20 that supplies a water treatment promoter to wastewater 11 in the drainage system 10, and a drain pipe 50 that extends from the drain outlet 12 and connects to the treatment tank 60. In other words, the drainage system 10 is composed of a main body that accommodates wastewater 11, the water treatment promoter supply means 20, and the drain pipe 50.

[0032] The wastewater 11 may be any water received by the drainage system 10 and then discharged from the drainage system 10, and examples thereof include, but are not limited to, domestic wastewater discharged from washrooms, toilets, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc., urban wastewater, commercial wastewater, agricultural wastewater, industrial wastewater, sewage, rainwater, surface water, seawater, tap water, etc. Specific examples of wastewater include human waste, bath water, kitchen wastewater, laundry wastewater, etc.

[0033] The drainage equipment 10 is configured to have an open upper end. This configuration allows the drainage equipment 10 to easily receive water from outside the system. However, the drainage equipment 10 may also be configured with a closed or semi-closed upper end, as long as it is configured to be able to receive water from outside the system.

[0034] The drainage equipment 10 has a recess 13 that is recessed at the lower end of the main body. A water treatment promoter from the water treatment promoter supply means 20 is supplied to the drainage water 11 in the recess 13, thereby reducing the amount of the drainage water 11 that comes into contact with the water treatment promoter. As a result, if the water treatment promoter is an oxidizing agent or the like used for chemical treatment of the drainage water, the number of times the substances to be treated in the drainage water 11 come into contact with the water treatment promoter increases, thereby making the chemical treatment more efficient and promoting the decomposition of the substances to be treated in the drainage water 11. However, as long as chemical treatment using the water treatment promoter can be achieved, the drainage equipment 10 may be configured so that the lower end does not have a recess, i.e., has a flat, planar structure.

[0035] As described above, the smaller the amount of wastewater 11 stored in the drainage system 10, the smaller the amount of water treatment promoter that can be used to decompose the materials to be treated. Therefore, the drainage system 10 may be controlled to reduce the amount of wastewater 11 stored therein before the water treatment promoter is supplied.

[0036] The water treatment accelerator supply means 20 of the drainage facility 10 is configured to be able to supply a water treatment accelerator into the wastewater 11 that is contained in or discharged by the drainage facility 10.

[0037] The water treatment accelerator supplied from the water treatment accelerator supply means 20 may be any agent capable of promoting wastewater treatment in the treatment tank 60. Examples of suitable agents include those capable of decomposing the materials to be treated and those capable of serving as nutrients for microorganisms. The agent is selected appropriately depending on the condition of the treated water 61. For example, when the treated water 61 contains a large amount of materials that can be decomposed by oxidation, the water treatment accelerator is preferably an oxidizing agent. Examples of suitable oxidizing agents include hypochlorous acid and its salts, chlorous acid, chloric acid, perchloric acid, halogens such as chlorine, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide. The water treatment accelerator may be, for example, an oxidizing agent dissolved in water, or may be electrolyzed water obtained by electrolyzing tap water or the like. When the water treatment accelerator is an oxidizing agent, the materials to be treated may include inorganic substances such as nitrogen compounds (e.g., ammonia nitrogen) and urea, ammonia, uric acid, and oxalic acid; sulfur compounds, oils, metabolites from the human body and pets, hydrocarbon compounds, proteins, uric sugar, dietary fiber, pulp, cellulose, synthetic fibers, and surfactants. Similarly, when the material to be treated is a substance that decomposes upon reduction, an acidic substance, a basic substance, a persistent substance, or the like, the water treatment accelerator may be a reducing agent, a neutralizing agent, a radical agent, a chelating agent, or the like, depending on the substance. For example, the neutralizing agent includes not only the neutralization of inorganic or organic substances, but also the neutralization of decomposition products of inorganic or organic substances. Examples of the neutralizing agent include commonly used neutralizing agents such as sodium hydroxide.

[0038] When the amount of material to be treated in the treated water 61 is small or almost nonexistent, the water treatment accelerator is preferably a nutrient for microorganisms. Nutrients for microorganisms can be anything that microorganisms can assimilate to grow or sustain themselves. Examples include carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, minerals, and other components essential for microbial growth. Specific examples include alcohol, sugar, amino acids, and fatty acids. The water treatment accelerator may also be a disinfectant component for killing microorganisms. Disinfectant components include inorganic disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid, and organic disinfectants such as ethanol, regardless of their state, whether solid or liquid. Examples of when a disinfectant component is supplied include, but are not limited to, when biofilm formation in a wastewater treatment system, decay in a treatment tank, or the generation of foul odors is detected.

[0039] As a more specific example, if the wastewater 11 is human waste such as urine and feces, the treated water 61 will contain a large amount of ammonia nitrogen, and therefore the water treatment promoter is preferably hypochlorous acid or an aqueous solution of its sodium salt.

[0040] The method of supplying the water treatment promoter by the water treatment promoter supply means 20 is not particularly limited, as long as it is configured to supply the water treatment promoter to the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10. The water treatment promoter supply means 20 is equipped with a motor, pump, or other device that has the function of discharging the water treatment promoter, and can thereby supply the water treatment promoter in the form of a solid, powder, granules, liquid, suspension, foam, mist, or the like, preferably a liquid or mist, to the wastewater 11 contained in the drainage equipment 10. However, the water treatment promoter supply means 20 may also be configured to be able to supply the water treatment promoter into the wastewater 11 discharged from the drainage equipment 10, for example, into the wastewater 11 flowing through the drain pipe 50. There may be one or more water treatment promoter supply means 20, depending on the type of water treatment promoter to be supplied.

[0041] The drain pipe 50 provided in the drainage equipment 10 is configured to allow the drainage water 11 accommodated in the main body of the drainage equipment 10 to pass through. The material, diameter, length, etc. of the drain pipe 50 are not particularly limited as long as the drainage water 11 can pass through it.

[0042] The drainage equipment 10 is controlled according to the state of the treated water 61, such as by starting and stopping the supply of water treatment accelerator by the water treatment accelerator supply means 20 and by starting and stopping the supply of water to the main body of the drainage equipment 10.

[0043] The treatment tank 60 having the detection means 30 is configured to receive the wastewater 11 discharged from the drainage equipment 10 and treat (wastewater treatment) the wastewater 11 to purify and / or regenerate it. The detection means 30 is configured to be able to predict or detect the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60. The detection means 30 may be provided in the treatment tank 60 so as to be able to predict or detect the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60.

[0044] The detection means 30 can detect the presence of a substance to be treated contained in the treated water 61. That is, the detection means 30 can detect, as a physical quantity, changes in water quality due to the presence of the substance to be treated in the treated water 61. The physical quantity detected by the detection means 30 is not particularly limited, and examples include the water pressure, water volume, water level, water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, odor, color, and turbidity of the treated water 61. It may also be the amount of microorganisms in the wastewater 11. The detection means 30 detects these physical quantities or their changes, converts the detected quantities into appropriate signals, and inputs them to the control means 40. The detection means 30 may also emit a signal when it does not detect the physical quantity to be detected. The detection means 30 is preferably, for example, a sensor that transmits the detected quantity to the control means 40 as an electrical signal. The detection means 30 may be a device having a detection probe such as an electrode.

[0045] The detection means 30 may be provided so as not to come into contact with the treatment water 61. In this case, the detection means 30 may be a pyroelectric sensor, a microwave sensor, or the like.

[0046] The detection of the state of the treated water 61 by the detection means 30 may be either continuous or intermittent.

[0047] The wastewater treatment in the treatment tank 60 may be biological treatment, chemical treatment, or a combination of these, but biological treatment is preferred. The following description will be given assuming that the treatment tank 60 is a tank that performs biological treatment of the wastewater 11, i.e., a biological treatment tank.

[0048] The treatment tank 60 purifies the received wastewater 11 by subjecting it to biological treatment, for example, nitrification-denitrification treatment using microorganisms. The microorganisms may be aerobic microorganisms, anaerobic microorganisms, or a combination thereof.

[0049] Treatment tank 60 may hold a mixture of aerobic and / or anaerobic microorganisms, may have both an aerobic area and an anaerobic area, or may be a multi-tank with separate aerobic and anaerobic tanks. When treatment tank 60 is a multi-tank tank, it can be structured to have two or more tanks by providing a partition such as a permeable membrane that allows water to pass through but not the microorganisms.

[0050] In FIG. 1, the drain pipe 50 and the treatment tank 60 are continuously connected, but for example, a water storage tank or another treatment tank may be provided between them.

[0051] When the treatment tank 60 is a tank that performs chemical treatment of wastewater, for example, the treatment tank 60 is configured so that an oxidizing agent can be supplied.

[0052] The control means 40 is configured to receive signals continuously or intermittently as input values ​​from the detection means 30 provided in the treatment tank 60, and to be able to control the drainage equipment 10 based on the signals.

[0053] The control means 40 preferably has a processing unit that determines the state of the treated water 61 based on a signal from the detection means 30. As a specific embodiment of the control means 40 having a processing unit, a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the control means 40 is illustrated in Figure 2. However, if the control means 40 emits a signal only when the detection means 30 detects the presence or absence of a substance to be treated in the treated water 61, the control means 40 may not have a memory unit or part or all of the processing unit.

[0054] 2, the control means 40 includes a processing unit 410, a storage unit 420, and an input / output unit 430. The control means 40 may further include a display unit. Each component is connected to each other via a bus 440 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0055] The processing unit 410 is configured to be able to acquire a signal from the detection means 30 and to issue commands to the drainage equipment 10. Based on the signal from the detection means 30, the processing unit 410 determines the state of the treated water 61 by comparing it with an index value 421, a past signal history 422, etc., or by using a determination program 423, etc.

[0056] The memory unit 420 is configured with a storage device and stores an index value 421, a past signal history 422, a judgment program 423, etc. The memory unit 420 may store a signal from the detection means 30 that has just been acquired by the control means 40, an output value that is a judgment result from the processing unit 410, etc. The judgment program 423 functions to cause the processing unit 410 to judge the state of the treated water 61 based on the signal from the detection means 30 and the index value 421 and / or the signal history 422.

[0057] The input / output unit 430 is configured to be able to transmit a signal from the detection means 30 to the processing unit 410 and to be able to transmit a command to the drainage equipment 10 based on the determination result of the processing unit 410.

[0058] Examples of the control means 40 include a control circuit, a microcontroller, a single-board computer, a personal computer (notebook PC, desktop PC), a tablet terminal, and a smartphone.

[0059] The control means 40, the drainage equipment 10, and the detection means 30 may be independently connected by wire, or may be connected wirelessly with or without a router or the like. It is preferable that the control means 40, the drainage equipment 10, and the detection means 30 are physically separated from each other, but two or all three of these may be configured as an integrated unit as long as they perform their respective functions. For example, the control means 40 may be present as part of the structure that configures the drainage equipment 10.

[0060] The control means 40 controls the drainage equipment 10 based on the signal emitted by the detection means 30 so that the state of the treated water 61 falls within a predetermined range. For example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water 61 is high, the control means 40 controls the drainage equipment 10 to supply a water treatment promoter that promotes decomposition of the materials to the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10 and / or to supply water to the main body of the drainage equipment 10. Furthermore, for example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water 61 is low, the control means 40 controls the drainage equipment 10 to supply a water treatment promoter that serves as a nutrient for microorganisms to the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10 and / or to discharge the wastewater 11 from the main body of the drainage equipment 10. Furthermore, for example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water 61 is within a predetermined range, the control means 40 controls the drainage equipment 10 so that the water treatment promoter is not supplied.

[0061] The signal received by the control means 40 may be either qualitative or quantitative. When the signal received by the control means 40 is quantitative, the amount of water treatment promoter supplied by the water treatment promoter supply means 20, the supply of water to the main body of the drainage equipment 10, the amount of wastewater discharged from the drainage equipment 10, etc. may be adjusted depending on the magnitude of the signal. Furthermore, even when the signal received by the control means 40 is qualitative, the amount of water treatment promoter supplied by the water treatment promoter supply means 20, the supply of water to the main body of the drainage equipment 10, the amount of wastewater discharged from the drainage equipment 10, etc. may be adjusted depending on the length of time the signal is input, etc.

[0062] The control means 40 may control the drainage equipment 10 immediately or with a delay based on the signal from the detection means 30. For example, when the detection means 30 sends a signal indicating that the treated water 61 is in a state where the amount of the material to be treated is large or small, it is preferable to control the drainage equipment 10 immediately.

[0063] The control of the drainage facility 10 by the control means 40 may be performed based on a signal from the detection means 30 using AI (Artificial Intelligence) or the like.

[0064] The condition of the treated water 61 is preferably within a range that allows efficient wastewater treatment in the treatment tank 60. For this purpose, the treated water 61 preferably contains neither too much nor too little material to be treated; and / or, the material to be treated preferably contains an appropriate amount of nutrients for microorganisms and a small amount of components that inhibit the growth of or damage microorganisms.

[0065] An example of a method for wastewater treatment using the wastewater treatment system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0066] 3, the detection means 30 in the treatment tank 60 detects the state of the water to be treated 61 in the treatment tank 60, specifically the amount of material to be treated (S101). Next, the detection means 30 sends a different signal to the control means 40 as the detection result depending on the state of the water to be treated 61 (S102). The control means 40 determines the state of the water to be treated 61 based on the signal received from the detection means 30 (S103). However, the detection means 30 may be configured not to send any signal to the control means 40 if it does not detect a physical quantity that deviates from a predetermined threshold range.

[0067] If the result of the determination is that the amount of the material to be treated in the treated water 61 is large or small, or if the amount of the material to be treated in the treated water 61 is neither large nor small, the drainage equipment 10 is controlled according to the result (S104).

[0068] If the amount of the material to be treated in the treated water 61 is high or low, the drainage equipment 10 is controlled accordingly so that the amount of the material to be treated in the treated water 61 falls within a predetermined range (S105A). For example, the discharge mechanism in the water treatment promoter supply means 20 of the drainage equipment 10 is operated, specifically by energizing the electric pump. This causes the water treatment promoter supply means 20 to supply the water treatment promoter toward the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10. Note that if the water treatment promoter supply means 20 is already supplying the water treatment promoter, it continues to supply the water treatment promoter.

[0069] On the other hand, if the amount of material to be treated in the treated water 61 is neither too much nor too little, the drainage equipment 10 is controlled so as to maintain the state of the treated water 61 (S105B). For example, the operation of the discharge mechanism in the water treatment promoter supply means 20 of the drainage equipment 10 is stopped, specifically, the power supply to the electric pump is cut off. This causes the water treatment promoter supply means 20 to stop supplying the water treatment promoter to the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10. Note that if the water treatment promoter supply means 20 is not supplying the water treatment promoter, the supply of the water treatment promoter is continued to be stopped.

[0070] In the wastewater treatment system 1, after controlling the drainage equipment 10 (S105A), it is preferable to control the drainage equipment 10 to stop the supply of the water treatment promoter or to supply the water treatment promoter again by detecting the presence of the substance to be treated in the treated water 61 intermittently or continuously using the detection means 30, or after a predetermined time has elapsed.

[0071] The wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment may include other components in addition to the drainage equipment, the treatment tank having the detection means, and the control means. For example, the wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment may include a display means for displaying the state of the treated water. The control means may display the state of the treated water on the display means based on a signal from the detection means of the treatment tank, and a user of the drainage equipment may see the display and operate the drainage equipment, such as by supplying a water treatment accelerator to the drainage equipment, supplying water to the main body of the drainage equipment, or increasing the amount of wastewater from the drainage equipment, to control the drainage equipment so that the state of the treated water falls within a predetermined range.

[0072] [Second embodiment of wastewater treatment system] A wastewater treatment system according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a wastewater treatment facility having a detection means, a treatment tank, and a control means.

[0073] A specific embodiment of the wastewater treatment system of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. In Fig. 4, reference numerals common to Fig. 1 have been omitted. In the following, the wastewater treatment system of the second embodiment will be described, in principle, focusing on the parts that differ from the wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment, and a description of the parts that overlap with the wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0074] The wastewater treatment system 100 includes a wastewater treatment facility 10 having a detection means 130, a treatment tank 60, and a control means 40. For convenience, Fig. 1 illustrates wastewater 11 contained in the wastewater treatment facility 10 and treated water 61 to be treated in the treatment tank 60.

[0075] The drainage equipment 10 has a detection means 130. In this way, the drainage equipment 110 has the detection means 130 that predicts or detects the state of the wastewater 11, the water treatment promoter supply means 20 that supplies a water treatment promoter to the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10, and the drain pipe 50 that extends from the drain outlet 12 and connects to the treatment tank 60. In other words, the drainage equipment 10 is composed of a main body that accommodates the wastewater 11, the detection means 130, the water treatment promoter supply means 20, and the drain pipe 50.

[0076] The detection means 130 is configured to be able to predict or detect the state of the wastewater 11. The detection means 130 is able to detect the presence of a substance to be treated contained in the wastewater 11. In other words, the detection means 130 is able to detect, as a physical quantity, the water quality that changes due to the presence of the substance to be treated in the wastewater 11. The detection means 130 is provided on the right side surface of the recess 13 in the main body of the drainage equipment 10.

[0077] The basic configuration of the detection means 130 is the same as that of the detection means 30 of the wastewater treatment system 1. However, the detection means 130 may be configured to detect the presence of a source of wastewater containing the material to be treated, such as a person discharging human waste, and predict the presence of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11. That is, the detection means 130 can predict the state of the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10. In this case, the detection means 130 may be, for example, a human presence sensor, specifically, a contact-type human presence sensor such as a tactile switch or a piezoelectric element, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a microwave sensor, or a millimeter-wave sensor. Furthermore, the detection means 130 may detect the presence of a physical quantity, such as emitted light or vibration, such as when the lid of the drainage equipment 10 is opened or closed, or may detect the absence of a physical quantity due to the reduction or disappearance of these.

[0078] The detection means 130 may predict and detect the presence of an object to be treated either continuously or intermittently.

[0079] The control means 40 is configured to continuously or intermittently receive a signal from the detection means 130 provided in the drainage equipment 10 as an input value, and to be able to control the treatment tank 60 based on the signal.

[0080] The control means 40 preferably has a processing unit that determines the state of the treated water 61 based on a signal from the detection means 130. As a specific embodiment of the control means 40 having a processing unit, a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the control means 40 is illustrated in FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, reference numerals that are common to FIG. 2 have been omitted. However, in the case where the control means 40 emits a signal only when the detection means 130 predicts or detects the presence or absence of a substance to be treated in the wastewater 11, the control means 40 may not have a memory unit or part or all of the processing unit.

[0081] The processing unit 410 is configured to be able to acquire a signal from the detection means 130 and to be able to issue commands to the treatment tank 60. Furthermore, the input / output unit 430 is configured to be able to transmit a signal from the detection means 130 to the processing unit 410 and to be able to transmit a command to the treatment tank 60 based on the determination result of the processing unit 410. The processing unit 410 determines the state of the wastewater 11 based on the signal from the detection means 130 by comparing it with an index value 421, a past signal history 422, etc., or by using a determination program 423, etc.

[0082] The control means 40, treatment tank 60, and detection means 130 may be independently connected by wire, or may be connected wirelessly with or without a router or the like. It is preferable that the control means 40, treatment tank 60, and detection means 130 are physically separated from each other, but two or all three of these may be integrated as long as they perform their respective functions. For example, the control means 40 may be present as part of the structure that constitutes the treatment tank 60.

[0083] The control means 40 controls the treatment tank 60 based on the signal emitted by the detection means 130 so that the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60 falls within a predetermined range. For example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the wastewater 11 is high, the control means 40 supplies a water treatment promoter that promotes decomposition of the materials in the treatment tank 60 and / or controls the treatment tank 60 to increase the amount of water received by the treatment tank 60. Furthermore, for example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the wastewater 11 is low, the control means 40 supplies a water treatment promoter that serves as a nutrient for microorganisms to the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60 and / or controls the treatment tank 60 to discharge the treated water 61 from the treatment tank 60. Furthermore, for example, if the amount of materials to be treated in the treated water 61 falls within a predetermined range, the control means 40 controls the treatment tank 60 so that the water treatment promoter is not supplied.

[0084] The control means 40 may control the treatment tank 60 immediately or with a delay based on the signal from the detection means 130. For example, when the detection means 130 signals that the wastewater 11 has been detected as having a large or small amount of the material to be treated, it is preferable to control the treatment tank 60 immediately. On the other hand, when the detection means 130 signals that the wastewater 11 has been predicted as having a large or small amount of the material to be treated, it is preferable to control the treatment tank 60 with a delay. However, in this case, the treatment tank 60 may be controlled before, or preferably just before, the wastewater 11 reaches a large or small amount of the material to be treated so that the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60 falls within a predetermined range.

[0085] An example of a method for wastewater treatment using the wastewater treatment system 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0086] 6, the detection means 130 of the drainage equipment 10 detects the state of the drainage 11 in the drainage equipment 10, specifically the amount of material to be treated (S201). Next, the detection means 130 sends a different signal to the control means 40 as the detection result depending on the state of the drainage 11 (S202). The control means 40 determines the state of the drainage 11 based on the signal received from the detection means 130 (S203). However, the detection means 130 may be configured not to send any signal to the control means 40 if it does not detect a physical quantity that deviates from a predetermined threshold range.

[0087] If the result of the determination is that the amount of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11 is large or small, or if the amount of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11 is neither large nor small, the treatment tank 60 is controlled accordingly (S204).

[0088] If the amount of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11 is large or small, the treatment tank 60 is controlled accordingly so that the amount of the material to be treated in the treated water 61 falls within a predetermined range (S205A). On the other hand, if the amount of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11 is neither large nor small, the treatment tank 60 is controlled so that the state of the treated water 61 is maintained (S205B).

[0089] In the wastewater treatment system 100, after controlling the treatment tank 60 (S205A), it is preferable to control the treatment tank 60 by detecting the presence of the material to be treated in the wastewater 11 intermittently or continuously using the detection means 130, or after a predetermined time has elapsed.

[0090] The wastewater treatment system of the second embodiment may include other components in addition to the drainage equipment having the detection means, the treatment tank, and the control means, as in the wastewater treatment system of the first embodiment.

[0091] [Third aspect of wastewater treatment system] A wastewater treatment system according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a wastewater treatment facility having a detection means, a treatment tank having a detection means, and a control means.

[0092] A specific embodiment of the wastewater treatment system of the third embodiment is a wastewater treatment system 101 (not shown) that combines the wastewater treatment system 1 and the wastewater treatment system 10 illustrated in Figures 1 and 4. The wastewater treatment system 101 includes a wastewater facility 10 having a detection means 130, a treatment tank 60 having a detection means 30, and a control means 40.

[0093] In the wastewater treatment system 101, the detection means 30 of the treatment tank 60 detects the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60, the detection means 130 of the drainage equipment 10 predicts or detects the state of the wastewater 11 in the drainage equipment 10, and the control means 40 controls the drainage equipment 10 based on a signal from the detection means of the treatment tank 60 so that the state of the treated water 61 falls within a predetermined range, and controls the treatment tank 60 based on a signal from the detection means 130 of the drainage equipment 10 so that the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60 falls within a predetermined range.

[0094] When the control means 40 has a processing unit 410, the processing unit 410 is configured to be able to acquire signals from the detection means 30 and the detection means 130, and to issue commands to the drainage equipment 10 and the treatment tank 60. The input / output unit 430 is configured to be able to transmit signals from the detection means 30 and the detection means 130 to the processing unit 410, and to be able to transmit commands to the drainage equipment 10 and the treatment tank 60 based on the determination result of the processing unit 410.

[0095] The wastewater treatment system 101 is characterized by being able to control the treatment tank 60 in two directions, since it can control the treatment tank 60 in response to a signal from the detection means 130 possessed by the wastewater treatment equipment 10, and can also control the wastewater treatment equipment 10 in response to a signal from the detection means 30 possessed by the treatment tank 60. The wastewater treatment system 101 controls the wastewater treatment equipment 10, the treatment tank 60, or both, depending on the state of the treated water 61 in the treatment tank 60 and the state of the wastewater 11 in the wastewater treatment equipment 10, thereby efficiently keeping the state of the treated water 61 within a predetermined range.

[0096] [Specific embodiment of wastewater treatment system] A specific embodiment of the wastewater treatment system is a system toilet. An example of the system toilet will be explained with reference to FIG.

[0097] The system toilet 200 comprises a toilet bowl 210 corresponding to the drainage equipment, a hypochlorous acid supply means 220 corresponding to the water treatment promoter supply means, a biological treatment tank 260 having an optical sensor 230 corresponding to the detection means, and a control means 240.

[0098] A user 270 can relieve himself / herself by sitting on a toilet seat 214, which is the seating surface of the toilet bowl 210. The excrement from the user 270, namely, human waste, is collected in a drainage 211 in a recess 213 of the toilet bowl 210.

[0099] In system toilet 200, when user 270 has finished using the toilet, he or she flushes flush water into toilet bowl 210, causing wastewater 211 containing human waste to flow through drain pipe 250 into biological treatment tank 260. Optical sensor 230 disposed in biological treatment tank 260 detects that the state of the treated water in biological treatment tank 260 is not within a predetermined range, for example, when the turbidity of the treated water is too high, and transmits a signal to control means 240. Based on the signal from optical sensor 230, control means 240 controls hypochlorous acid supply means 220 to supply hypochlorous acid into toilet bowl 210.

[0100] The supply of hypochlorous acid by the hypochlorous acid supply means 220 is performed intermittently or continuously, preferably immediately after the optical sensor 230 detects that the state of the treated water in the biological treatment tank 260 is not within a predetermined range. Furthermore, the supply may continue for a while even after the optical sensor 230 detects that the state of the treated water falls within the predetermined range, for example, for several seconds to several tens of seconds after the state of the treated water falls within the predetermined range.

[0101] When hypochlorous acid is supplied to wastewater 211 containing human waste, nitrogen compounds and ammonia nitrogen in the human waste are oxidized and decomposed, and the wastewater 211 can be subjected to biological treatment without placing an excessive load on the downstream biological treatment tank 260. As a result, efficient biological treatment is achieved in the biological treatment tank 260, and the overall wastewater treatment efficiency can be improved.

[0102] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the efficiency of mixing the human waste and hypochlorous acid, it is preferable that the amount of wastewater 211 stored in recess 213 is small. Therefore, after receiving a signal from optical sensor 230, control means 240 may control system toilet 200 to reduce the amount of wastewater 211, for example by discharging a portion of wastewater 211 stored in recess 213 before the human waste is excreted.

[0103] The optical sensor 230 may be installed in the drainage system 210 as a human presence sensor. In this case, when the human presence sensor 230 detects a user 270 in the system toilet 200, it predicts that human waste will be added to the wastewater 211 and transmits a signal to the control means 240. Based on the signal from the human presence sensor 230, the control means 240 controls the biological treatment tank 60, such as by aerating the biological treatment tank 260, so that the biological treatment of the wastewater in the biological treatment tank 260 is carried out efficiently. The human presence sensor 230 may be a sensor that detects the excretion of human waste by the user 270, or a sensor that detects the opening and closing of the lid of the system toilet 200.

[0104] The timing of controlling the biological treatment tank 260 may be immediately after the motion sensor 230 detects the user 270, or several seconds after detection, for example, while the user 270 is relieving themselves or until they have completely finished relieving themselves. However, in order to efficiently subject the wastewater to biological treatment, it is preferable that the timing be immediately after the motion sensor 230 detects the user 270. Furthermore, the system toilet 200 may predict that the lid of the toilet bowl 210 will be opened and that human waste will be added to the wastewater 211, and may control the biological treatment tank 260 in advance before the user 270 excretes human waste, and / or may additionally control the biological treatment tank 260 after the user has finished excreting. For example, the system toilet 200 may control the biological treatment tank 260 when the lid of the toilet bowl 210 is opened, then the user 270 excretes human waste, and then control the biological treatment tank 260 again after the user has finished excreting.

[0105] After the user 270 has finished using the toilet, the human presence sensor 230 may detect this and the control means 240 or other control means may automatically flush water into the toilet bowl 210, or the user 270 may manually flush water into the toilet bowl 110 regardless of the detection status of the human presence sensor 230.

[0106] Another specific embodiment of the wastewater treatment system is a system toilet 201 illustrated in Figure 8. In Figure 8, reference numerals that are the same as those in Figure 7 have been omitted.

[0107] In the system toilet 201, the drainage equipment 210 is equipped with a display means 280, but is not equipped with a hypochlorous acid supply means 220. When the control means 240 detects that the amount of treated material in the treated water in the biological treatment tank 260 is large and is not within a predetermined range, it displays this on the display means 280. Upon seeing this, the user 270 supplies hypochlorous acid to the drainage water 211 after finishing excreting human waste.

[0108] [Application of wastewater treatment systems] The wastewater treatment system of one embodiment of the present invention has a simple overall configuration yet is capable of efficiently treating wastewater, and is therefore applicable, for example, to an autonomous circulation type water purification device, preferably a small-scale autonomous circulation type water purification device.

[0109] Therefore, a specific preferred embodiment of the wastewater treatment system according to one aspect of the present invention is an autonomous circulation type water purification device that embodies the wastewater treatment system according to one aspect of the present invention.

[0110] [Another aspect of the present invention] Another aspect of the present invention is a wastewater treatment method. The wastewater treatment method of one aspect of the present invention includes a detection step in which a detection means of the treatment tank detects the state of the treated water in the treatment tank, and a drainage equipment control step in which the drainage equipment is controlled so that the state of the treated water falls within a predetermined range based on a signal from the detection means of the treatment tank. The wastewater treatment method of another aspect of the present invention includes a detection step in which a detection means of the drainage equipment predicts or detects the state of the wastewater in the drainage equipment, and a treatment tank control step in which the treatment tank is controlled so that the state of the treated water in the treatment tank falls within a predetermined range based on a signal from the detection means of the drainage equipment. The wastewater treatment method of another aspect of the present invention includes a detection step in which a detection means of the treatment tank detects the state of the treated water in the treatment tank, a detection step in which a detection means of the drainage equipment predicts or detects the state of the wastewater in the drainage equipment, a drainage equipment control step in which the drainage equipment is controlled so that the state of the treated water falls within a predetermined range based on a signal from the detection means of the treatment tank, and a treatment tank control step in which the treatment tank is controlled so that the state of the treated water in the treatment tank falls within a predetermined range based on a signal from the detection means of the treatment tank.

[0111] The wastewater treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is preferably implemented by the wastewater treatment system of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0112] The wastewater treatment system of one embodiment of the present invention has a simple overall configuration yet is capable of efficiently treating wastewater, and therefore can be used in drainage facilities such as washrooms, toilets, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens, and can also be used in self-sustaining circulation water purification devices.
