Description

The present invention relates to an improvement of an agglomeration and mixing tank for sludge and the like, and in particular, a volume-variable agglomeration and mixing tank capable of adjusting the residence time of sludge by configuring the volume of a stirring chamber to be substantially variable, and the same It relates to the control method used.

Conventionally, sewage such as sewage containing difficult-to-filter organic substances is added to a polymer flocculant in an agglomeration and mixing tank and stirred and mixed to form an agglomeration floc of suspended solids. A solid-liquid separation process is performed to produce a dehydrated cake with a low water content. However, inflow and properties of sewage are known to vary depending on the season and weather, and in order to stably produce a dehydrated cake with a low water content, agglomerated floc suitable for dehydration treatment is used in a coagulation mixing tank. It is important to form.

The flocculant injection amount determination device of the cited document 1 adjusts the flocculant injection amount based on the measurement data of the amount of residual floc after mechanical dehydration, and can realize the setting of the chemical injection amount following the fluctuation of the stock solution properties. . It also describes that the rotational speed of the stirring device is adjusted as necessary.

In addition, in the agglomeration and mixing device that stirs and mixes the stock solution supplied from the bottom with a stirring shaft suspended in the center of the sealed tank, the residence time in the tank is selected by selecting outlets that are opened in multiple stages in the vertical direction. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for adjusting the concentration and controlling the degree of aggregation of the stock solution.

Japanese Patent No. 3967462 Japanese Patent No. 3063883

Control technology that adjusts the amount of flocculant injected according to the fluctuation of the stock solution and the rotation speed of the stirrer in the flocculent mixing tank is well known as a technology to reduce the amount of flocculant used, but the flow rate has decreased. In this case, the residence time in the tank becomes longer, and the aggregated floc is destroyed by a long stirring action by the stirrer. In order to stir and mix the stock solution and the polymer flocculant in the tank, the rotational speed of the stirrer is required to some extent, and the rate of decrease in the rotational speed of the stirrer is also limited. On the other hand, when the flow rate increases, the residence time in the tank is shortened, and there is a possibility that a sufficient aggregation floc cannot be formed in the aggregation mixing tank and supplied to the subsequent dehydrator.

In addition, the coagulation and mixing apparatus of Cited Reference 2 adjusts the residence time in the tank by selecting outlets opened in multiple stages in the vertical direction, and controls the aggregation state of the stock solution. The agglomerated slurry supply pipes need to be connected to all of the plurality of outlets, and the same number of control valves are required for the supply pipes. Moreover, when the residence time is short and the aggregated sludge is discharged from the lower outlet, the gas-liquid volume ratio in the tank fluctuates. Specifically, the gas volume increases and the liquid volume decreases. Since gas is a compressible fluid, when the volume of the gas increases, the back pressure at the time of discharging from the outlet changes. If the back pressure from the agglomeration and mixing apparatus fluctuates, it becomes difficult to control the press-fitting pressure when press-fed to the subsequent dehydrator, and stable dehydration cannot be maintained.

The present invention is configured so that the volume of the stirring chamber can be substantially changed while the gas volume in the coagulation mixing tank is constant, and the residence time in the tank is adjusted according to the properties of the stock solution. The volume-variable type coagulation mixing tank for generating the coagulation floc and the control method using the same are provided.

The gist of the present invention is that in an agglomeration mixing tank in which raw sludge and a polymer flocculant are mixed and stirred to form an agglomeration floc, a sealed cylindrical tank body, a supply pipe and a discharge pipe attached to the tank body, Agitating shaft and agitating blade for agitating and mixing sludge inside the tank body, an electric motor for rotating the agitating blade, an elevating plate that variably partitions the volume of the agitating chamber in the tank body, and elevating and lowering the elevating plate The apparatus is provided with a connecting pipe that connects the supply pipe and the lifting plate, and the volume of the stirring chamber is configured to be variable.

Specifically, the lifting device is composed of a cylinder, the cylinder body is fixed to the bottom of the tank body, and the tip of the rod is connected to the lifting plate. The volume of the stirring chamber can be easily changed with a very simple device. Can be made.

When the tank body is erected, the supply pipe is connected to the bottom surface, the discharge pipe is connected to the upper side surface, an electric motor is placed on the top of the tank body, and the stirring blade is attached to the stirring shaft suspended from the electric motor to the stirring chamber. In the stirring chamber, the upward flow and the swirl flow overlap to promote the coagulation action.

Providing a plurality of side plates projecting in the center direction on the tank wall of the tank body and providing slits at the position of interference with the side plates on the elevating plate promotes the cohesive action by the side plates and increases the turning force acting on the elevating plate. Can be received on the side plate.

An agitation floc formed in the agitation chamber is formed by making an opening in the elevating plate and inserting the agitation shaft so that the aperture is close to the agitation shaft and the outer peripheral end of the elevating plate is brought closer to the wall surface of the tank body. Becomes difficult to come down from the gap of the lifting plate.

This is a method of controlling the press-fitting pressure into the screw press to be constant using a volume-variable coagulation mixing tank, wherein the reference pressure of the coagulating slurry to be pressed into the screw press, the reference rotation speed of the stock solution supply pump, and the coagulation mixing tank Set the reference position of the lifting plate, and step by step, set the value to increase or decrease the stock solution supply pump by the number of rotations and the displacement of the lifting plate, measure the press-fitting pressure of the agglomerated slurry, and set the press-fitting pressure in advance When the pressure is outside the range of the reference pressure, the reference rotation speed of the concentrate supply pump and the reference position of the lift plate are increased or decreased step by step to control the pressure of the coagulated slurry within the range of the reference pressure. In addition, it is possible to generate agglomerated floc with a stirring chamber volume suitable for the stock solution flow rate.

The volume variation type agglomeration mixing tank of the present invention is configured such that the volume in the stirring chamber can be substantially varied. Specifically, the tank bottom is configured to be movable up and down, and the residence time until the undiluted solution flows into the stirring chamber and is discharged is adjusted. By adjusting the tank bottom according to the amount of inflow and the properties of the stock solution, it is possible to supply agglomerated floc optimum for the subsequent dehydrator by stirring and mixing with a stirrer for a predetermined time. Since the positions of the inflow pipe to the agglomeration and mixing tank and the discharge pipe from the agglomeration and mixing tank do not fluctuate, it is not necessary to control complicated pipes and valves in the piping from the stock solution storage tank to the dehydrator. In addition, the control device using the flocculation / mixing tank controls the volume of the flocculation / mixing tank in a variable manner according to the flow rate of the stock solution, so that a dehydrated cake having a low water content can be stably generated by a subsequent dehydrator. Can do.

It is a spin-drying | dehydration flow sheet figure of the raw sludge using the coagulation mixing tank which concerns on this invention. Similarly, it is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an agglomeration mixing tank. Similarly, it is a flowchart of the control method of the coagulation mixing tank.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of dewatering raw sludge using a coagulation mixing tank. The stock solution supply pipe 2 for extracting the stock sludge from the stock solution storage tank 1 is provided with a constant flow stock solution supply pump SP, a concentration meter D and a stock solution flow meter Fs, and measures the stock solution concentration and the stock solution flow rate Qs.
A chemical solution supply pipe 4 is connected to a polymer dissolution tank 3 provided in the stock solution storage tank 1, and a chemical solution supply pump PP for adjusting the flow rate for supplying the flocculant to the raw sludge and the addition of the flocculant are added to the chemical solution supply pipe 4 A chemical flow meter Fp for measuring the amount is provided. The chemical solution supply pipe 4 is connected to the rear of the stock solution supply pipe 2 in which the stock solution flowmeter Fs is disposed.

A concentration meter D and a stock solution flow meter Fs arranged in the stock solution supply pipe 2 and a chemical solution flow meter Fp arranged in the chemical solution supply pipe 4 are connected to the control device 5, and the stock solution concentration and the stock solution flow rate of the detected raw sludge are connected. A Qs detection signal is transmitted to the control device 5 to calculate a solid matter amount of the stock solution flow rate Qs extracted from the stock solution storage tank 1 at a constant flow rate, and a detection signal of the addition amount of the polymer flocculant is transmitted to the control device 5. In comparison with the preset supply amount of the polymer flocculant added according to the solid amount of raw sludge, the rotational speed of the chemical solution supply pump PP is controlled so that the predetermined flocculant addition rate is obtained. Then, a polymer flow rate Qp with an addition rate A appropriate to the stock solution flow rate Qs of the stock solution supply pipe 2 is supplied.

The rear end of the stock solution supply pipe 2 is connected to the bottom of the sealed coagulation and mixing tank 6, and raw sludge to which a polymer flocculant is added is injected from the bottom of the coagulation and mixing tank 6 and stirred and mixed by the stirrer 7. To produce an agglomerated slurry. A slurry supply pipe 8 for extracting the agglomerated slurry from the agglomeration mixing tank 6 with tank pressure is connected to the dehydrator 9 and continuously supplies the agglomerated slurry to the subsequent dehydrator 9. The polymer flocculant may be added to the sludge before the flocculation / mixing tank 6, and the chemical solution supply pipe 4 may be directly connected to the flocculation / mixing tank 6. In that case, the chemical solution supply pipe 4 is connected in the vicinity of the inlet of the raw sludge supplied into the coagulation mixing tank 6.

The amount of raw sludge flowing into wastewater treatment facilities such as sewage treatment plants varies depending on the season and weather. If the filterability of the raw sludge deteriorates due to fluctuations in the raw liquid properties, the press-fitting pressure of the coagulated slurry is lowered. On the other hand, when the filterability of the raw sludge is restored, the press-fitting pressure of the coagulated slurry is increased.

Generally, when the concentration of raw sludge flowing in increases (decreases) and the amount of solids in the raw sludge increases (decreases), the press-fitting pressure when supplying to the screw press 9 increases (decreases). Reduce (increase) the supply of.

Specifically, a detection signal of the measurement value P of the pressure gauge PS disposed in the slurry supply pipe 8 is transmitted to the control device 5 and compared with a preset reference pressure P0, and the measurement value P is the reference value. When the pressure is out of the pressure P0, a command is given to the stock solution supply pump SP to increase or decrease the stock solution flow rate. By controlling the press-fitting pressure at the reference pressure P0, the solid matter of the agglomerated slurry can be stably processed. The reference pressure P0 can be set with a certain range, and when the measured value P of the press-fit pressure is within the set range, the normal operation is continued while maintaining the current state.

When the supply amount of the stock solution supply pump SP is increased or decreased, the supply amount of the raw sludge supplied to the screw press 9 varies. At that time, the amount of raw sludge passing through the flocculation / mixing tank 6 also increases / decreases, and the residence time in the flocculation / mixing tank 6 varies depending on the supply amount. For example, when the supply amount of the stock solution supply pump SP is increased, a large flow rate of raw sludge is supplied to the screw press 9 via the stock solution supply pipe 2, the coagulation mixing tank 6, and the slurry supply pipe 8, and the coagulation mixing tank 6 at this time The residence time at is short. On the other hand, when the supply amount of the stock solution supply pump SP is decreased, a small flow rate of raw sludge is supplied to the screw press 9 via the stock solution supply pipe 2, the coagulation mixing tank 6, and the slurry supply pipe 8, and the coagulation mixing tank 6 at this time The residence time at is long.

If the residence time in the agglomeration and mixing tank 6 is short, it will be supplied to the subsequent screw press 9 in a state where the formation of the agglomeration floc is insufficient. The flock is supplied to the subsequent screw press 9 in a state where the floc is broken by excessive stirring.

In the present invention, the raw liquid supply pump SP is controlled to supply the raw sludge to the screw press 9 at a constant press-fitting pressure, while coagulating and mixing so that the residence time of the raw sludge in the stirring chamber 10 is optimized according to the flow rate of the raw liquid. The volume of the tank 6 is adjusted, and an optimum aggregation floc is formed in the subsequent screw press 9 in the aggregation mixing tank 6.

The supply pipe 12 is connected to the stock solution supply pipe 2, and the raw sludge and the polymer flocculant are supplied into the tank body 11 from the bottom surface to which the supply pipe 12 is attached. The discharge pipe 13 is connected to the slurry supply pipe 8 and supplies agglomerated slurry containing agglomerated floc formed inside the tank body 11 to the subsequent dehydrator 9.

Agitating blades 15 are vertically attached to the agitation shaft 14 in a multistage manner. When the electric motor 16 is driven, the agitation shaft 14 and the agitation blade 15 rotate inside the tank body 11. In the present embodiment, the plate-like stirring blade 15 is used, but the stirring blade 15 may be anything as long as it can stir and mix the sludge inside the tank body 11, and a well-known stirring blade 15 may be used. .

An elevating plate 17 is provided in the vicinity of the bottom surface inside the tank body 11 so as to freely move up and down.

Aggregated sludge can be supplied at a stable pressure during the press-fitting supply.

In addition, the drain pipe 25 is connected with the bottom face of the tank body 11, and the staying sludge deposited on the tank bottom is discharged | emitted as needed.

The outer peripheral end of the disk-shaped lifting plate 17 is made close to the wall surface of the tank body 11 so that the aggregated flocs generated in the stirring chamber 10 do not easily flow below the lifting plate 17. An opening 26 is formed at the center of the elevating plate 17, and the elevating plate 17 moves up and down with the stirring shaft 14 inserted. The gap between the opening 26 of the elevating plate 17 and the stirring shaft 14 is brought close to each other so that the flocs cannot easily flow in, like the outer peripheral end.

In this embodiment, there is a gap between the outer peripheral end and the wall surface of the elevating plate 17 and between the opening 26 of the elevating plate 17 and the stirring shaft 14, so that liquid components other than the aggregated floc can flow in and out. However, the inflow and outflow of the liquid may be completely prevented by fixing and sliding the sealing material or the like.

An elevating device 18 is connected to the lower surface of the elevating plate 17, and the elevating device 18 is connected to the control device 5 so that the elevating plate 17 can be moved up and down to move to a predetermined height. The volume of the stirring chamber 10 is adjusted.

The position of the lift plate 17 is controlled by extending and contracting the rod 28 of the electric cylinder 27. The cylinder 27 can use a well-known technique such as a hydraulic type or a pneumatic type. Further, as a substitute for the cylinder 27, the rod 28 connected to the lower surface of the lifting plate 17 may be expanded and contracted by using a mechanical link or the like to form the lifting device 18.

A connecting pipe 19 is interposed between the supply pipe 12 attached to the bottom surface of the tank body 11 and the elevating plate 17 provided in the tank body 11, and the raw sludge passes through the connecting pipe 19. It is supplied to the stirring chamber 10 above the lifting plate 17. Since the raising / lowering plate 17 moves up and down inside the tank body 11 and the distance from the bottom surface of the tank body 11 is displaced, a connecting pipe 19 formed in a bellows shape is used. When the elevating plate 17 is positioned below, the tube portion of the connecting pipe 19 is folded in the length direction and contracted. When the elevating plate 17 is positioned above, the tube portion of the connecting tube 19 is It extends in the length direction and follows the displacement of the lift plate 17.

In the case where a plurality of side plates 23 are arranged on the inner wall of the agglomeration mixing tank 6, the elevating plate 17 provided with a slit at the position of interference with the side plate 23 can be used. Even if the lifting plate 17 receives a turning force due to the rotation of the stirring blade 15 in the stirring chamber 10, it can be supported by the side plate 23, and the lifting device 18 does not receive a load due to the rotation.
