Description

  The present invention relates to a biological treatment method and biological treatment apparatus for wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils for treating wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils such as normal hexane extract substances up to the discharge regulation value.

  Generally, wastewater from food factories contains a high concentration of fats and oils, and this wastewater has a normal hexane extract (hereinafter referred to as n-hex.) Used as one of wastewater standards of 400 to 500 mg / L. It may be contained in a high concentration.

  Conventionally, in order to treat such wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils, pretreatment is performed by a physicochemical treatment method typified by an agglomeration pressure flotation device, and then a biological treatment method typified by an activated sludge method is performed. I was processing. Specifically, n-hex. After removing fats and oils until the concentration reaches 50 to 100 mg / L, a method of treating to the release regulation value by a biological treatment method has been widely performed.

  However, in this method, the maintenance of the pretreatment facility is complicated, and the amount of floss (amount of industrial waste) generated in the pretreatment increases.

  Therefore, methods for directly biologically treating wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils have been studied. One example is a method of adding an enzyme such as lipase or a special bacterium such as Bacillus into an aeration tank to supplement the ability to treat organic substances such as oil.

  However, in this method, it is necessary to continuously introduce enzymes and special bacteria in order to maintain the processing capacity, so that the cost increases due to maintenance costs such as drug costs, and special bacteria become a priority species. Therefore, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to maintain the processing capability.

  On the other hand, a two-stage treatment system in which a BOD high-load biological treatment tank is installed in the previous stage and then treated by the activated sludge method is also widely used. It has not yet been clarified enough. Specifically, in the two-stage treatment system, it is difficult to cope with wastewater containing high-concentration fats as it is, and in order to cope with this, the number of aeration tanks and the amount of carrier necessary for removing oil by supporting microorganisms are reduced. It is necessary to determine strictly.

As such a method, a plurality of, for example, three aeration tanks using a carrier are connected in series, and raw water is sequentially flowed into each of these aeration tanks, and the return sludge from the settling tank is returned to the activated sludge tank. It is a method, Comprising: The method by which the BOD volumetric load of this activated sludge tank is 0.8 kg / m <3> * day or less is known (for example, refer patent document 1).

Thus, the biological treatment capacity is hardly lowered in each aeration tank and can be stably treated, and the treated water and sludge can be easily separated in the precipitation tank.

  The configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

  A biological treatment apparatus 1 for wastewater containing high-concentration fat and oil shown in FIG. 1 is an apparatus for treating wastewater containing a high-concentration fat and oil containing a normal hexane extract discharged from, for example, a food factory.

  The biological treatment apparatus 1 includes an adjustment tank 3 that stores raw wastewater discharged from the discharge means 2.

  The adjustment tank 3 is provided with a diffuser port 4, and a blower 6 is connected to the diffuser port 4 via a pipe 5. Then, air is sent from the air diffuser 4 to the inside of the tank by the blower 6 and aerated and agitated by the air to which the drainage is sent.

  The adjustment tank 3 is connected to a first aeration tank 7a, which is one of four aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d connected in series, via an inflow pipe 8.

  The inflow pipe 8 is provided with an inflow pump 9 and a meter (not shown). The waste water in the adjustment tank 3 is pumped up by the driving of the inflow pump 9 and is transferred by a fixed amount to the first aeration tank 7a while being measured by the measuring instrument. From the first aeration tank 7a, the second aeration tank 7b sequentially flows into the third aeration tank 7c and the fourth aeration tank 7d.

  Each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is provided with an air diffusion port 11. A blower 13 is connected to the air diffusion port 11 via a pipe 12, and the pipe 12 is provided with an opening / closing means 14 such as a valve. Then, air is sent from the air diffuser 11 to the inside of the tank by the blower 13 and aerated by the air to which the drainage is sent. In addition, oxygen is supplied into the waste water by this aeration.

  Each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is provided with an overflow portion 15, and in the vicinity of the overflow portion 15, a screen 16 having a 3 mm wide slit (not shown) is provided. And in each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, waste water flows into the adjacent tank because the waste water overflows from the overflow part 15.

  Each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is filled with a carrier 17. The carrier 17 is a continuous foam of 10 mm square mainly composed of polyurethane, for example, and carries microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa and metazoans. Further, the waste water is biologically treated by causing the carrier 17 to flow in the waste water of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d by the air sent from the blower 13 into each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d.

  An inflow pipe 18 is connected to the overflow section 15 in the fourth aeration tank 7d, and the waste water that is aerated in each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d and overflows from the fourth aeration tank 7d, It flows into the sedimentation tank 21 through the inflow pipe 18.

  The sedimentation tank 21 separates the waste water after the aeration treatment into treated water and sludge by sedimentation separation.

  The sedimentation tank 21 is provided with an overflow part 22, and a discharge pipe 23 is connected to the overflow part 22, and treated water overflowing from the overflow part 22 is discharged from the discharge pipe 23.

  Further, the settling tank 21 is provided with a return means 24 for returning the separated sludge to the first aeration tank 7a into which the drainage flows first among the aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d. The return means 24 has a return pipe 25 and a return pump 26 that connect the first aeration tank 7a and the settling tank 21, and sludge is pumped up from the settling tank 21 by driving the return pump 26, and the return pipe 25 is returned from the settling tank 21 to the first aeration tank 7a.

Here, the carrier filling amount of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is the normal hexane extract material (n-hex.) Indicating the removal amount of the normal hexane extract material (n-hex.) Per 1 m ³ of the support. The removal rate is set to be 1 to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day.

n-hex. If the removal rate is set to be lower than 1 kg / m ³ · day, the amount of the carrier becomes excessive with respect to the amount of the waste water, so that the cost increases accordingly.

In addition, in order to perform biological treatment, there is a need for a space that allows the carrier 17 to sufficiently flow in each of the aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d. Specifically, the filling rate of the carrier 17 is set to 40. % Or less is preferable because it is possible to prevent processing failures due to poor flow of the carrier 17, and 35% or less is more preferable. Therefore, as the amount of the carrier increases, it is necessary to increase the space for the carrier 17 to flow sufficiently. Therefore, the capacity of each of the aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d must be increased. Costs will soar. Therefore, n-hex. The lower limit of the removal rate is set to 1 kg / m ³ · day.

On the other hand, n-hex. If the removal rate is set to be higher than 1.8 kg / m ³ · day, the amount of waste water flowing into each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d will be too much for the amount of carrier, so the ability of microbial treatment The waste water cannot be effectively biologically treated, and the water quality that satisfies the discharge regulation value may not be obtained. Therefore, n-hex. The upper limit of the removal rate is set to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day.

The first aeration tank 7a has a BOD volumetric load of ³ to 6 kg / m ³ · day and a DO of 1 to 6 mg / L. The DO of the first aeration tank 7a is more preferably adjusted in the range of 2 to 3 mg / L.

  The second aeration tank 7b is adjusted to a DO of 1 to 6 mg / L, the third aeration tank 7c is adjusted to a DO of 2 to 5 mg / L, and the fourth aeration tank 7d. DO is adjusted in the range of 2 to 4 mg / L. The second aeration tank 7b and the third aeration tank 7c are more preferably adjusted to DO in the range of 3 to 4 mg / L.

If the BOD volume load of the first aeration tank 7a exceeds 6 kg / m ³ · day, the microbial treatment capacity will be exceeded, and the wastewater cannot be effectively biologically treated. There is a risk that it will not be obtained. Therefore, the upper limit of the BOD volumetric load of the first aeration tank 7a is set to 6 kg / m ³ · day.

On the other hand, the smaller the BOD volume load, the larger the capacity of the first aeration tank 7a. Therefore, when the BOD volume load is less than ³ kg / m ³ · day, there is no problem in processing capacity. Since the capacity of the second aeration tank 7a becomes too large, the cost of the equipment will rise. Therefore, the lower limit of the first aeration tank 7a is set to ³ kg / m ³ · day.

  In the first aeration tank 7a, bacteria as microorganisms are mainly subjected to biological treatment. When DO is less than 1 mg / L, sufficient oxygen cannot be obtained to activate the bacteria, and biological treatment is performed. There is a risk that the ability will decrease. Further, since oxygen is supplied into the wastewater by aeration and the carrier 17 is made to flow in the wastewater, if the amount of aeration is decreased in order to adjust DO to be lower than 1 mg / L, the carrier 17 does not flow sufficiently. Biological treatment capacity may be reduced. Therefore, the lower limit of DO of the first aeration tank 7a is set to 1 mg / L.

  In the second aeration tank 7b, bacteria and protozoa as microorganisms are mainly biologically processed, and when DO is less than 1 mg / L, it is sufficient for these bacteria and protozoa to be active. Oxygen cannot be obtained, and the biological treatment capacity may be reduced. Similarly to the first aeration tank 7a, if the amount of aeration for adjusting DO to be lower than 1 mg / L is reduced, the carrier 17 may not flow sufficiently and the biological treatment capacity may be reduced. Therefore, the lower limit of DO of the second aeration tank 7b is set to 1 mg / L.

  In the third aeration tank 7c and the fourth aeration tank 7d, bacteria, protozoa, and metazoans are biologically treated as microorganisms, and when DO is less than 2 mg / L, metazoans are active. However, there is a risk that sufficient oxygen cannot be obtained and the biological treatment capacity is lowered. Therefore, the lower limit of DO of the third aeration tank 7c and the fourth aeration tank 7d is set to 2 mg / L. When actinomycetes are generated, the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d may be temporarily reduced to 0.2 to 0.5 mg / L.

  Here, in the settling tank 21 provided in the subsequent stage of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, the wastewater after the aeration treatment is stirred in the settling tank 21 as non-aerated to perform solid-liquid separation by sedimentation separation. do not do. In addition, DO of such a precipitation tank 21 is less than 1 mg / L.

When the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d immediately before the precipitation tank 21 exceeds 4 mg / L, the difference between the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d and the DO of the precipitation tank 21 increases, and after the aeration treatment When the waste water flows into the sedimentation tank 21, the DO is suddenly lowered. When DO is rapidly lowered, microorganisms, particularly metazoans, scramble for little oxygen, and a reaction that forcibly takes in oxygen from NO ₂ , NO _3, etc. occurs. Further, N ₂ gas is generated due to the side effect of this reaction. When the N ₂ gas is generated, the N ₂ gas is taken into the sludge and floats up, which may make it difficult to perform solid-liquid separation by sedimentation in the sedimentation tank 21. Therefore, the upper limit of DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d is set to 4 mg / L.

  Moreover, in each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, in order to prevent that the activity of microorganisms falls and sufficient biological treatment is not performed by the rapid fall of DO by the inflow of the waste_water | drain to another tank. It is necessary to gradually lower DO toward the fourth aeration tank 7d.

  Therefore, it is preferable to set the DO of the third aeration tank 7c to be a value between the DO of the second aeration tank 7b and the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d. Therefore, the third aeration tank Set the upper limit of 7c DO in the range of 5 mg / L.

  Further, the upper limit of the DO of the second aeration tank 7b is set to 6 mg / L for the same reason as the third aeration tank 7c described above.

  In the first aeration tank 7a, the waste water first flows from the adjustment tank 3, so that the n-hex. Peculiar bacterium which treats N-hex. Process. However, after the second aeration tank 7b, it is not necessary to maintain this unique bacterium as a preferred species. Therefore, the upper limit of DO of the first aeration tank 7a may be about the same as 6 mg / L which is the upper limit of the second aeration tank 7b.

  In the first aeration tank 7a, a high load n-hex. Since the decomposition is performed, a large amount of DO is required. Therefore, even if the aeration amount is increased and a large amount of oxygen is supplied to the waste water, the n-hex. The consumption by decomposition is also large. Therefore, with a general air volume, the actual DO increases only to about 2 mg / L.

  Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

  First, the raw waste water of the high-concentration oil-containing waste water containing normal hexane extract material is discharged from the discharge means 2 into the adjustment tank 3, and this raw waste water is stored in the adjustment tank 3.

  Next, air is sent from the air diffuser 4 into the adjustment tank 3 by the blower 6, and the waste water in the adjustment tank 3 is aerated and stirred by this air.

  By stirring the wastewater raw water, the concentration of the wastewater raw water is not uneven, and the generation of bad odor due to an anaerobic reaction can be reduced.

  While stirring in the adjustment tank 3, the inflow pump 9 is driven to pump up the waste water from the adjustment tank 3 and through the inflow pipe 8, the waste water is allowed to flow into the first aeration tank 7 a by a certain amount.

  Opening / closing means 14 provided in the pipe 12 is opened, air is sent from the air diffuser 11 to the first aeration tank 7a by the blower 13, and the waste water is aerated by this air and oxygen is supplied into the waste water. Is done.

  Thus, by aeration of the wastewater, the carrier 17 of the first aeration tank 7a flows, and the wastewater is biologically treated by the microorganisms supported by the carrier 17. Further, the amount of oxygen supplied to the waste water is adjusted by adjusting the amount of aeration, and the DO in the first aeration tank 7a is adjusted.

  In addition, by causing the carrier 17 to flow in the tank, it is possible to prevent oil film enlargement due to excessive sludge, oil film, or the like adhering to the carrier 17. Further, the generation of excess sludge can be reduced by the food chain of the aerobic anaerobic bacteria and aerobic microorganisms carried by the carrier 17.

Here, in the first aeration tank 7a, the BOD volumetric load is set to ³ to 6 kg / m ³ · day, and DO is adjusted to the range of 1 to 6 mg / L.

In this way, by setting the BOD volume load of the first aeration tank 7a to ³ to 6 kg / m ³ · day, it is possible to prevent the microorganisms from exceeding the treatment capacity in the first aeration tank 7a. It is possible to obtain a water quality that satisfies the release regulation value by biological treatment effectively. Further, it is possible to prevent the cost from rising due to the capacity of the first aeration tank 7a.

  Moreover, by adjusting the DO of the first aeration tank 7a to the range of 1 to 6 mg / L, it is possible to obtain sufficient oxygen for the microorganisms, particularly bacteria, of the first aeration tank 7a to be active, Furthermore, since the amount of aeration at which the carrier 17 can sufficiently flow in the first aeration tank 7a can be maintained, the biological treatment capacity is unlikely to decrease and the wastewater can be treated stably.

  The wastewater treated in the first aeration tank 7a overflows from the overflow part 15 and flows into the second aeration tank 7b.

  At this time, since the screen 16 having a slit of 3 mm width is provided in the vicinity of the overflow portion 15, the 10 mm square carrier 17 cannot pass through the slit, and the second carrier 17 associated with the overflow of drainage. To the aeration tank 7b can be prevented.

  In the second aeration tank 7b, the waste water is biologically treated in the same manner as the first aeration tank 7a in a state where DO is adjusted to the range of 1 to 6 mg / L.

  Thus, by adjusting the DO of the second aeration tank 7b to the range of 1 to 6 mg / L, sufficient oxygen is available for the microorganisms of the second aeration tank 7b, particularly bacteria and protozoa to act. In addition, since the aeration amount that allows the carrier 17 to sufficiently flow in the second aeration tank 7b can be maintained, the biological treatment capacity is unlikely to decrease and the wastewater can be treated stably.

  The wastewater treated in the second aeration tank 7b overflows from the overflow part 15 and flows into the third aeration tank 7c. In the case of overflow, the carrier 17 can be prevented from advancing through the slits of the screen 16 as in the first aeration tank 7a.

  In the third aeration tank 7c, the waste water is biologically treated in the same manner as the first aeration tank 7a and the second aeration tank 7b with the DO adjusted to a range of 2 to 5 mg / L.

  Thus, by adjusting the DO of the third aeration tank 7c to the range of 2 to 5 mg / L, it is sufficient for the microorganisms of the third aeration tank 7c, particularly bacteria, protozoa, and metazoans to be active. In addition, since the amount of aeration at which the carrier 17 can sufficiently flow in the third aeration tank 7c can be maintained, the biological treatment capacity is unlikely to decrease and the wastewater can be treated stably.

  The wastewater treated in the third aeration tank 7c overflows from the overflow part 15 and flows into the fourth aeration tank 7d. In the case of overflow, the carrier 17 can be prevented from advancing through the slits of the screen 16 like the first aeration tank 7a and the second aeration tank 7b.

  In the fourth aeration tank 7d, the drainage is biological in the same manner as the first aeration tank 7a, the second aeration tank 7b, and the third aeration tank 7c with the DO adjusted to a range of 2 to 4 mg / L. It is processed.

Thus, the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d is adjusted to the range of 2 to 4 mg / L, so that the microorganisms of the fourth aeration tank 7d, particularly bacteria, protozoa, and metazoans are active. Oxygen can be obtained, and since the aeration amount that allows the carrier 17 to flow sufficiently in the fourth aeration tank 7d can be maintained, the biological treatment capacity is not easily lowered and the treatment can be performed stably. Also, the difference in DO from the aeration tank 21 which is not aerated becomes too large, and the generation of N ₂ gas due to the rapid decrease of DO in the precipitation tank 21 is prevented, so that sludge rises and solid-liquid separation is difficult. Therefore, the waste water after the aeration treatment can be easily separated into treated water and sludge in the sedimentation tank 21.

And the carrier filling amount of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is n-hex. The removal rate is set to be 1 to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day.

Thus, the carrier loading amount of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is n-hex. By setting the removal rate to be 1 to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day, it is possible to prevent a decrease in biological treatment capacity due to poor flow of the carrier 17, and it is stable without exceeding the treatment capacity of microorganisms. Since the wastewater can be biologically treated, n-hex. Can be effectively removed, and wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils can be treated effectively. Further, it is possible to prevent an increase in cost due to the amount of the carrier and the capacity of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d.

  The wastewater treated in the fourth aeration tank 7d overflows from the overflow section 15 and flows into the sedimentation tank 21 through the inflow pipe 18. In the case of overflow, the carrier can be prevented from advancing through the slits of the screen 16 like the first aeration tank 7a, the second aeration tank 7b, and the third aeration tank 7c.

  In the sedimentation tank 21, the treated water and sludge are separated into solid and liquid by sedimentation separation. The treated water, which is the supernatant liquid after separation, overflows at the overflow part 22 and is discharged from the discharge pipe 23. Further, the sludge that has settled in the sedimentation tank 21 after the separation is pumped up by the drive of the return pump 26 and is returned to the first aeration tank 7a through the return pipe 25.

  In this way, the sludge separated from the wastewater in the sedimentation tank 21 is returned to the first aeration tank 7a, and the wastewater containing high-concentration fats and oils is repeatedly treated by decomposition by microorganisms contained in the sludge, thereby reducing the amount of floss. It can be suppressed to a small amount and it is easy to maintain the processing capacity.

  In the above embodiment, the four aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d are connected in series. However, the number of aeration tanks may be three. Moreover, even if it is an existing wastewater treatment facility, if the facility has 3 tanks or 4 tanks or can secure 3 tanks or 4 tanks, the wastewater containing high-concentration fat according to the present invention The biological treatment method and biological treatment apparatus 1 can be applied.

In this embodiment, the aeration tanks 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d can be stably treated with little difficulty in reducing the biological treatment capacity, and the waste water after the aeration treatment is treated with treated water and sludge in a settling tank. In order to facilitate separation, the BOD volume load of the first aeration tank 7a is set to ³ to 6 kg / m ³ · day, the DO is adjusted to a range of 1 to 6 mg / L, and the second aeration tank 7b The DO of the third aeration tank 7c is adjusted to the range of 2-5 mg / L, and the DO of the fourth aeration tank 7d is adjusted to the range of 2-4 mg / L. It is set as the structure adjusted to. However, n-hex. If the carrier filling amount of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is set so that the removal rate is 1 to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day, it is not limited to such a configuration.

  Next, examples of the present invention will be described.

The condition of the raw waste water assumed in the food factory where the biological treatment apparatus 1 is actually installed is n-hex. The concentration is 500 mg / L, the SS concentration is 800 mg / L, the BOD concentration is 1500 mg / L, the pH is 5.0 to 8.0, and the inflow is 1000 m ³ / day.

  In this example, the treatment capacity was confirmed with a 1/500 scale experimental machine of the biological treatment apparatus 1 actually installed in a food factory.

  Hereinafter, setting of each condition of the experimental machine in this example will be described.

Since the inflow amount of the raw wastewater in the experimental machine is 2 m ³ / day (= 1000 m ³ / day × 1/500), the n-hex. The load is 1.0 kg / day (= 500 mg / L × 2 m ³ / day).

In this experimental machine, n-hex. In order to set the removal rate to 1.0 to 1.8 kg / m ³ · day, if the capacity of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d is V and the carrier filling amount is α, V and α Is in the range of 0.56 (= 1.0 kg / day ÷ 1.8 kg / m ³ · day) ≦ α · V ≦ 1.0 (= 1.0 kg / day ÷ 1.0 kg / m ³ · day) It needs to fit.

Here, in this experimental machine, since four tanks of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d are connected, in order to set the BOD volume load of the first aeration tank 7a to ³ to 6 kg / m ³ · day. , becomes 3 kg / ^{m 3} · day ^{≦ (1500mg / L × 2m 3} / day) ÷ (V / 4) ≦ 1.0kg / m 3 · day, and 2m ³ ≦ V ≦ 4m ^3.

And the capacity | capacitance of each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d of the experimental machine of a present Example was set to 2.64 m < ³ >, and each aeration tank 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d was set to 0.66 m < ³ >.

  In this case, the possible value of α was 0.21 ≦ α ≦ 0.38, and the carrier filling rate of this example was set to 0.23.

Further, the BOD volumetric load of the first aeration tank 7a in the experimental machine of this example is 4.5 kg / m ³ · day, and n-hex. The removal rate was 1.67 kg / m ³ · day.

  Table 1 shows the measured values before and after the process for each operation day from the actual operation in the experimental machine set as described above. In addition, since the load is gradually applied during the operation of the experimental machine, the state where the operation is started at a load of 100% is set as the actual operation.

  As shown in Table 1, all of the treated water whose operating days from the actual operation are 0 days, 8 days, 17 days, and 22 days are compared with the raw water before the treatment. The concentration, SS concentration, and BOD concentration are greatly reduced. That is, n-hex. Even high-concentration fat and oil-containing wastewater having a concentration exceeding 300 mg / L can be treated without problems, and good water quality can be obtained.

In addition, based on this result, the sludge conversion rate in a present Example is calculated | required.
Sludge conversion rate = amount of sludge increase during the period / total BOD amount = (ΔMLSS × V) / (inflow of raw wastewater × number of working days × average BOD) = 0.062

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the sludge conversion rate can be suppressed to a low level of about 6%, and a great effect can be obtained in reducing industrial waste treatment costs.

It is a piping diagram which shows the structure of the biological treatment apparatus which concerns on one embodiment of this invention.
