Description

  The present invention relates to a solid-liquid separation facility including a sedimentation basin that settles a solid contained in an accepted liquid, and a pump well that is provided with a pump that discharges the liquid that has passed through the sedimentation basin.

  As facilities for sewage treatment, solid-liquid separation facilities equipped with a sedimentation basin and solid-liquid separation facilities equipped with a sedimentation basin are used. The sedimentation basin is a sedimentation basin that accepts sewage such as sewage or rainwater, and sinks the sand contained in the sewage, transports the sedimented sand to the sand collection pit, and lifts the sand collected in the sand collection pit. It is removed by a sand pump. The sewage that has passed through the settling basin flows into the pump well and is discharged by a pump installed in the pump well. The sedimentation basin is a sedimentation basin that accepts the sewage from which the sand has been removed in the sedimentation basin and settles the sludge contained in the received sewage. Sludge is removed by a sludge pump.

  The sedimentation basin, which is one of the sedimentation basins, includes a groove extending in a direction perpendicular to the pond width direction, an inclined surface extending upward from each of a pair of upper edges defining the opening of the groove, and a sand transport direction. What has a discharge outlet which discharges a fluid toward the downstream is known. In the sand settling basin, the sedimented sand is collected in a groove along an inclined surface, and fluid is discharged from the discharge port toward the sand collected in the groove. As a result, the sand is transferred to the sand collecting pit. Here, when the pond width of the sand basin is wide, the sand that has settled on the inclined surface stops before reaching the groove along the inclined surface, and there is a possibility that the sand accumulates on the inclined surface. On the other hand, if the inclination angle of the inclined surface is increased in an attempt to prevent sand from accumulating on the inclined surface, for example, when the inclined surface is formed of concrete, the amount of concrete placed increases and the construction cost increases. Resulting in. Further, as the inclination angle of the inclined surface is increased, the area of the sewage flowing area is reduced in cross section in the pond width direction, and the flow rate of sewage flowing through the sand basin is increased. Here, the area where sewage flows corresponds to the area above the connecting part connecting the sedimentation basin and the pump well. For example, in the sand basin, the area above the so-called sand pool corresponds. Hereinafter, an area obtained by crossing the region where the sewage flows in the pond width direction may be referred to as a cross-sectional area. When the flow cross-sectional area decreases and the flow rate of sewage increases, the amount of sand that settles before passing through the sand basin decreases, and sand collection efficiency decreases.

  On the other hand, a sand basin has been proposed in which a plurality of grooves extending in a direction orthogonal to the pond width direction are arranged in the pond width direction (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The sand basin described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a discharge port in each groove as a moving mechanism for moving sand accumulated in the groove in the extending direction of the groove. In each of the plurality of grooves, the upper edges that define the groove opening are directly connected to each other, and the upper edge located at the end in the pond width direction is connected to a vertically rising side wall of the sand basin.

JP 2002-159803 A

  In the sand basin described in Patent Document 1, an inclined surface is not provided, and an attempt is made to cover the entire pond width direction by providing a large number of grooves in the pond width direction. For this reason, in the sand settling basin described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to dispose discharge ports as moving mechanisms in the respective grooves, and further, piping for supplying liquid to the respective discharge ports is required. Construction costs will increase significantly. Moreover, in the sand basin described in Patent Document 1, the design philosophy is completely different from the sedimentation basin portion provided with the inclined surface, and it is not necessary to consider the length and the inclination angle of the inclined surface in the pond width direction. The grooves with the specified depth are only arranged in the pond width direction.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a solid-liquid separation facility that can efficiently transfer sediment while using an inclined surface and suppressing an increase in construction costs even when the pond width is wide. With the goal.

The solid-liquid separation facility of the present invention that solves the above-described object includes a sedimentation basin portion that causes the received liquid to flow down and settles the solid contained in the liquid,
A pump well provided with a pump provided on the downstream side of the settling basin and discharging the liquid that has passed through the settling basin; and
A connecting portion connecting the settling pond portion and the pump well portion;
The sedimentation pond part is
A plurality of grooves extending in a direction perpendicular to the pond width direction and arranged in the pond width direction;
A moving mechanism for moving the sediment in the extending direction of the groove;
An inclined surface extending obliquely upward from each of a pair of upper edges defining the opening of the groove,
A connecting portion connecting an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove side in one of the two grooves adjacent in the pond width direction and an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove in the other groove Is a flat part or a part connected in an arc shape.

In the solid-liquid separation facility of the present invention,
The inclined surface connected to the side wall of the pond width direction end portion in the settling pond portion may have a larger inclination angle than the inclined surface connected to the connection portion.

  In the solid-liquid separation facility of the present invention, it is preferable that the inclined surface is formed of concrete and has an inclination angle of 15 degrees or more and 40 degrees or less.

  According to the solid-liquid separation facility of the present invention, even if the pond width is wide, the solid-liquid separation facility that can efficiently transfer sediment while using an inclined surface and suppressing an increase in construction costs. Can be provided.

It is the top view which looked at the solid-liquid separation facility from the upper part. It is AA sectional drawing of the solid-liquid separation facility shown in FIG. It is BB sectional drawing of the solid-liquid separation facility shown in FIG. It is a figure which expands and shows the C section enclosed in the circle in FIG. It is a timing chart which shows the drive timing and stop timing of the pump and nozzle which were installed in the solid-liquid separation facility shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The solid-liquid separation facility is used, for example, in a facility that performs sewage treatment including a sedimentation basin such as a sand basin or a sedimentation basin. Moreover, the solid-liquid separation method is implemented in the solid-liquid separation facility provided with sedimentation pond parts, such as a sedimentation basin and a sedimentation basin, for example. In the present embodiment, a solid-liquid separation facility having a sedimentation basin as a sedimentation basin and a solid-liquid separation method implemented in the solid-liquid separation facility having this sedimentation basin will be described as examples. The sand basin is disposed upstream of the sewage treatment facility and removes sand contained in sewage such as sewage or rainwater from the sewage.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 as viewed from above, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 2, the sand pump P1, the sand collection water pump P2, and the water pump P3 which are not originally shown in AA sectional drawing are shown for convenience of explanation.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the solid-liquid separation facility 10 is a rectangular pond that includes a sand basin 11, a pump well 12, and a connecting portion 13 that connects the sand basin 11 and the pump well 12. is there. Hereinafter, the long side direction of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 may be referred to as a longitudinal direction, and the short side direction may be referred to as a pond width direction. That is, in this embodiment, the direction orthogonal to the pond width direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction. The solid-liquid separation facility 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 receives sewage from the left side of the figure, and the received sewage slowly flows to the pump well 12 toward the right side of the figure (shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). See thick arrow). 1 and 2, the left side of the figure is the upstream side, the right side is the downstream side, and the right direction of the figure is the downflow direction. That is, the received sewage flows down in the longitudinal direction.

  WL shown in FIG. 2 represents the surface of sewage, and the position of the water surface WL is maintained at a set water level. Sand contained in the sewage sinks into the sand basin 11 while the sewage slowly flows toward the pump well 12. The sedimentation basin 11 is a pond that sinks sand contained in the sewage received by the solid-liquid separation facility 10, and corresponds to an example of a sedimentation basin section. The sewage that has passed through the sand basin 11 flows into the pump well 12 through the connecting portion 13, and is discharged by the pumping pump P 3 installed in the pump well 12. In the sand basin 11, the area below the connecting portion 13 forms a sand reservoir R1 that accumulates sand, and sewage flows to an area above the sand reservoir R1. That is, the region from the connecting portion 13 to the water surface WL forms a flow-down region R2 through which dirty water flows. The area of the surface obtained by cutting the flowing region R2 in the width direction corresponds to the flowing cross-sectional area.

  A dust remover 2 is provided on the upstream side of the sand basin 11. This dust remover 2 is for removing stone blocks, residue, etc. of a predetermined size or more from the solid contained in the sewage that is about to flow into the sand basin 11. The dust remover 2 includes an endless chain 21, a plurality of rakes 22 attached to the endless chain 21 at intervals, and a filtration screen 23 that is submerged in water. The endless chain 21 is provided so as to stand obliquely on both sides of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 in the width direction, and is wound around the ground side sprocket 211 and the pond bottom side sprocket 212 as shown in FIG. It has been. When the endless chain 21 is driven, the rake 22 enters and exits the water. The filtration screen 23 is disposed on the downstream side of the endless chain 21. In the filter screen 23, bars extending in the vertical direction are arranged at a predetermined interval (for example, 25 mm to 75 mm) to block the passage of a solid having a size greater than the predetermined interval. In the present embodiment, bars extending in the vertical direction are arranged at intervals of 75 mm. The solid obstructed by the filter screen 23 is lifted up by the rake 22, and the picked up solid is placed on a transport means such as a belt conveyor (not shown) on the ground side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sand settling basin 11 provided on the downstream side of the dust remover 2 is provided in the order of description from the upstream side to the downstream side, the upstream pond bottom 110 a, the sand collecting pit 4, and the downstream side. A pond bottom 110b is provided. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the upstream pond bottom 110a and the downstream pond bottom 110b, they may be collectively referred to as the pond bottom 110. The sand settled on the pond bottom 110 moves to the sand collecting pit 4 by water discharged from the sand collecting nozzle 71 described later. As a result, the sand in the sewage flowing into the sand basin 11 is collected in the sand collecting pit 4. That is, the sand collecting pit 4 corresponds to an example of a collecting portion, and the sand in the sewage flowing into the sand settling basin 11 corresponds to an example of solid contained in the received liquid. Specifically, in the upstream pond bottom 110a, the direction from the upstream toward the sand collecting pit 4 (see the thin arrow in the right direction shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) is the sand movement direction, and the downstream pond bottom 110b. Then, the direction from the downstream side toward the sand collecting pit 4 (see the thin arrow in the left direction shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) is the sand moving direction. For this reason, in the upstream pond bottom 110a, the flow direction (thick arrow in the figure) and the movement direction (thin arrow in the figure) coincide, but in the downstream pond bottom 110b, the flow direction (thick arrow in the figure) and movement direction. (Thin arrow in the figure) is in the opposite direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upstream pond bottom 110a is provided with two troughs 31, 31 extending in the longitudinal direction and arranged in the pond width direction. Of the two troughs 31, 31 provided on the upstream pond bottom 110a, in the following description, the trough 31 positioned on the upper side in FIG. 1 is referred to as the upstream first trough 31a and is positioned on the lower side in FIG. The trough 31 is sometimes referred to as the upstream second trough 31b. Moreover, the two troughs 31 and 31 extended in the longitudinal direction and arranged in the pond width direction are provided also in the downstream pond bottom part 110b. Of the two troughs 31, 31 provided on the downstream pond bottom 110b, in the following description, the trough 31 located on the upper side in FIG. 1 is referred to as a downstream first trough 31c, and is located on the lower side in FIG. The trough 31 is sometimes referred to as a downstream second trough 31d. These troughs 31 correspond to a plurality of grooves extending in a direction orthogonal to the pond width direction and arranged in the pond width direction. The upstream first trough 31a and the upstream second trough 31b correspond to a plurality of upstream grooves, and the downstream first trough 31c and the downstream second trough 31b correspond to a plurality of downstream grooves. In the present embodiment, each trough 31 is set to have a total length of about 10 m.

  Each of these troughs 31 is provided with a pair of inclined surfaces 32 and 32 that are inclined downward from both sides in the pond width direction toward the trough 31. The pair of inclined surfaces 32, 32 are surfaces that are separated from each other as they go upward. In the present embodiment, the inclined surface 32 is formed by placing concrete. Moreover, the connection part 33 of the inclined surface 32 and the inclined surface 32 is formed in the state extended in the longitudinal direction in the approximate center of the pond width direction of each of the upstream pond bottom part 110a and the downstream pond bottom part 110b.

  As shown in FIG. 1, each of the plurality of troughs 31 is provided with a sand collecting nozzle 71. Specifically, an upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a is provided upstream of the upstream first trough 31a, and an upstream second sand collecting nozzle 71b is provided upstream of the upstream second trough 31b. ing. A downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c is provided downstream of the downstream first trough 31c, and a downstream second sand collecting nozzle 71d is provided downstream of the downstream second trough 31d. FIG. 2 shows an upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a disposed on the upstream side of the upstream first trough 31a and a downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c disposed on the downstream side of the downstream first trough 31c. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the downstream side of each of the upstream first trough 31a and the upstream second trough 31b is connected to the sand collecting pit 4 and upstream of each of the downstream first trough 31c and the downstream second trough 31d. The side is also connected to the sand collection pit 4. A space forming member 8 is provided in the trough 31. The space forming member 8 extends along the trough 31. Detailed description of the trough 31 and the space forming member 8 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sand collecting pit 4 has a flat surface portion 41 provided at a central portion in the pond width direction and a pair of inclined surface portions 42, 42 provided on both sides of the flat surface portion 41 in the pond width direction. is doing. The flat surface portion 41 is configured by a flat surface having a rectangular shape in plan view, and the sand pump P <b> 1 is disposed at the central portion of the flat surface portion 41. As shown in FIG. 2, the sand pump P <b> 1 includes a suction port PO located at a predetermined height from the flat surface portion 41. This sand raising pump P1 sucks the sand collected in the sand collecting pit 4 from the suction port PO and conveys it to a sand settling machine or the like through a sand raising pipe (not shown).

  The inclined surface portion 42 is configured by an inclined surface inclined downward toward the flat surface portion 41, whereby the sand settled on the inclined surface portion 42 is inclined toward the sand pump P <b> 1 disposed on the flat surface portion 41. Will continue. The area of the inclined surface portion 42 and the inclination angle are set according to the length of the sand collecting pit 4 in the pond width direction. For example, when the length of the sand collecting pit 4 in the pond width direction is long, the area of the inclined surface portion 42 is set to be relatively large, and the inclination angle is set to be relatively large. On the other hand, when the length of the sand collecting pit 4 in the pond width direction is short and the sedimented sand can be sufficiently moved around the sand pump P1 by water discharged from the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 described later. May omit the inclined surface portion 42. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the inclined surface portion 42 is set to be larger than the inclination angle of the inclined surface 32 connected to the trough 31.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72, 72 disposed along the pair of inclined surface portions 42, 42 are provided inside the sand collecting pit 4. Each of the pit sand collecting nozzles 72 has two discharge ports 721 that are divided into two forks and arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction. These discharge ports 721 discharge water along the inclined surface portion 42 toward the sand pump P1 disposed in the center of the sand collecting pit 4 in the width direction. Thereby, the sand collected in the sand collection pit 4 is collected around the sand pump P1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of stirring nozzles 73 and 73 are further provided inside the sand collecting pit 4. In FIG. 1, only the stirring nozzle 73 is shown to simplify the drawing, and the water supply branch pipe connected to the stirring nozzle 73 is omitted. In FIG. 2, the stirring nozzle 73 itself is also omitted. The pair of agitation nozzles 73, 73 are arranged around the sand pump P1, discharge water toward the periphery of the suction port PO (see FIG. 2) of the sand pump P1, and around the suction port PO. It is what disturbs the accumulated sand. This prevents the suction port PO (see FIG. 2) of the sand pump P1 from being blocked and prevents the pump from being locked due to so-called sand biting. When the length of the sand collecting pit 4 in the pond width direction is short, either the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 or the stirring nozzle 73 is omitted, and the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 and the stirring nozzle 73 are used by the other. A configuration that provides both functions can also be employed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the downstream pond bottom part 110b and the pump well part 12 are connected by the connecting part 13, and as described above, the height position of the connecting part 13 is the sand pool R1. It becomes a boundary with the flow-down region R2 (see FIG. 2). The pump well 12 stores sewage from which sand has been removed. Inside the pump well 12, a sand collecting water pump P2 and a pumping pump P3 are provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the sand collecting water pump P <b> 2 is connected to each nozzle by a water supply main pipe 741 and a plurality of water supply branch pipes 742. FIG. 2 shows a state where the sand collecting water pump P2 is connected to the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a, the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c, and the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 on one side. Although not shown, the sand collecting water pump P2 is also connected to the upstream second sand collecting nozzle 71b, the downstream second sand collecting nozzle 71d, and the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 on the other side. , And a pair of stirring nozzles 73, 73 (see FIG. 1).

  One end of the water supply main pipe 741 is connected to the sand collecting water pump P2, and a plurality of water supply branch pipes 742 are branched from the other end. Each of the plurality of water supply branch pipes 742 is provided with a sand collection adjusting valve V1 and a sand collection valve V2. The sand collection adjusting valve V1 adjusts the flow rate of water supplied to each nozzle, and is configured by a manual ball valve, for example. The sand collecting valve V2 supplies water to each nozzle by opening and stops supplying water to each nozzle by closing, and is constituted by an electric ball valve, for example. In this embodiment, the opening / closing time of the sand collecting valve V2 is set to 30 seconds. For this reason, when opening of the sand collecting valve V2 is started from the fully closed state, the flow rate of water discharged from the nozzle connected to the sand collecting valve V2 gradually increases, and the fully opened state is reached in about 30 seconds. . When the sand collecting valve V2 is fully opened, water having a flow rate adjusted by the sand collecting adjusting valve V1 is discharged from the nozzle. Further, when the sand collecting valve V2 is closed from the fully open state, the flow rate of water discharged from the nozzle gradually decreases, and the fully closed state is reached in about 30 seconds. When the sand collecting valve V2 is fully opened, the discharge of water from the nozzle is completely stopped. The opening / closing time of the sand collecting valve V2 can be set as appropriate, and the opening / closing time may be different for each of the sand collecting nozzle 71, the pit sand collecting nozzle 72, and the stirring nozzle 73. In addition, in this embodiment, the structure which provides one sand collection adjusting valve V1 and one sand collection valve V2 with respect to a pair of pit sand collection nozzles 72 and 72 is employ | adopted. Thereby, water is discharged from each of the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72 and 72 at the same timing, and the flow rate of the discharged water is also the same. Moreover, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the structure which provides one sand collection adjustment valve V1 and one sand collection valve V2 also with respect to a pair of stirring nozzles 73 and 73 is employ | adopted. Of course, each of the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72, 72 may be provided with a sand collecting adjusting valve V1 and a sand collecting valve V2, and each of the pair of stirring nozzles 73, 73 has a sand collecting adjusting valve V1 and a sand collecting valve. V2 may be provided.

  Next, the structure of the trough 31 and the inclined surface 32 is demonstrated in detail using FIG. FIG. 3 is a BB cross-sectional view of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 shown in FIG. The upstream pond bottom 110a and the downstream pond bottom 110b are configured symmetrically with the sand collecting pit 4 interposed therebetween. For this reason, here, the configuration provided in the downstream pond bottom 110b will be described as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 3, each of the downstream first trough 31c and the downstream second trough 31d has a pair of upper edges 311 and 311 that define an opening, and obliquely upward from each of the pair of upper edges 311 and 311. An inclined surface 32 extending in the direction is provided. In FIG. 3, the inclined surface 32 extending from the left upper edge 311 of the downstream first trough 31c is connected to the side wall 34 of the sand basin 11, and the inclined surface 32 extending from the right upper edge 311 of the downstream second trough 31d. Is also connected to the side wall 34 of the sand basin 11. Further, the inclined surface 32 extending from the upper edge 311 on the right side of the downstream first trough 31c and the inclined surface 32 extending from the upper edge 311 on the left side of the downstream second trough 31d are connected at the center of the pond width direction, and are connected. 33 is formed. In this embodiment, although the connection part 33 is comprised in the pointed part where the inclined surface 32 and the inclined surface 32 contact | abutted, as shown with the dashed-dotted line of FIG. The connecting portion 33 may be formed of a flat portion, or may be the connecting portion 33 in which the inclined surface 32 and the inclined surface 32 are connected in an arc shape. The sand that has settled on the downstream pond bottom 110 b flows down along the inclined surface 32 and enters the trough 31 from the opening defined by the pair of upper edges 311, 311.

  By providing the plurality of troughs 31 and the inclined surfaces 32 extending from the pair of upper edges 311, 311 of the troughs 31, the sedimented sand is deposited on the inclined surfaces 32 even when the basin width of the sand basin 11 is wide. It becomes possible to collect in the trough 31 without letting it go. Here, when the pond width of the solid-liquid separation facility 10 becomes wider, an aspect in which three or more troughs 31 are arranged side by side in the pond width direction is necessary in order to prevent sand from accumulating on the inclined surface 32. In some cases. Even in this case, since the inclined surface 32 is provided, the number of troughs 31 can be reduced by the amount of the inclined surface 32. Thereby, the number of sand collecting nozzles 71 as a moving mechanism can be suppressed, and an increase in construction cost can also be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the height of the connecting portion 33 is equal to or less than the height of the connecting portion 13, the inclined surface 32 does not block the flow-down region R <b> 2 above the connecting portion 13. As a result, it is possible to prevent the flow cross-sectional area from decreasing and the sand collection efficiency from decreasing. That is, the flow rate of sewage flowing through the sand settling basin 11 is increased by reducing the flow cross-sectional area, and the problem that the sand does not easily settle to the pond bottom 110 does not occur. In addition, by suppressing the height of the connecting portion 33 to be equal to or less than the height of the connecting portion 13, for example, when the inclined surface 32 is formed of concrete, an increase in the amount of placement can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the inclination angle (angle (elevation angle)) α of the inclined surface 32 is set to about 25 degrees. The inclination angle α is preferably set in the range of 15 degrees to 45 degrees, and particularly preferably set in the range of 15 degrees to 40 degrees. If the inclination angle α is less than 15 degrees, the sand that has settled on the inclined surface 32 does not flow down to the trough 31 along the inclined surface 32 and may accumulate on the inclined surface 32. On the other hand, in order to move the sand that has settled on the inclined surface 32 to the trough 31, it is sufficient to set the inclination angle α to 45 degrees. When the inclination angle α exceeds 45 degrees, the concrete that forms the inclined surface 32 is formed. This is not preferable because the amount of casting increases significantly. In addition, in order to sufficiently suppress the amount of the concrete that forms the inclined surface 32, the inclination angle α is preferably 40 degrees or less. In the present embodiment, the inclination angles α of the plurality of inclined surfaces 32 are set to be approximately the same. For example, the inclination angle α of the inclined surface 32 connected to the side wall 34 is connected to another inclined surface 32. Thus, the inclination angle α may be made different for each inclined surface 32, for example, by making it larger than the inclination angle α of the inclined surface 32 forming the connecting portion 33.

  Next, the structure of the trough 31, the sand collecting nozzle 71, and the space formation member 8 is demonstrated in detail using FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion C surrounded by a circle in FIG. Here, the downstream first trough 31c and the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c will be described as examples. In FIG. 4, the direction from the back to the front of the paper is the sand moving direction.

  The trough 31 of the present embodiment has a shape in which approximately 1/3 above a stainless cylindrical body having a total length of 10 m, a diameter of 300 mm, and a plate thickness of about 3 mm is cut out, and opens upward. Moreover, the trough 31 has the internal peripheral surface 312 and the space S1 demarcated by this internal peripheral surface is formed. The cross-sectional shape of the trough 31 in the pond width direction is not limited to an arc shape, and may be a U shape, a V shape, or the like.

  The space forming member 8 partitions the space S1 in the trough 31, and forms a space S2 in which a portion above the lower end is closed. Further, the space forming member 8 of the present embodiment has a shape in which approximately 1/6 of a stainless steel cylinder having a diameter of about 150 mm and a plate thickness of about 3 mm is cut out, and opens downward. . Hereinafter, this opened portion is referred to as a suction port 81. The space forming member 8 is supported on the trough 31 by a support member (not shown) at an end on the upstream side in the moving direction and an end on the downstream side in the moving direction.

  The sand collecting nozzle 71 has a water supply branch pipe 742 connected to the rear end portion thereof and a discharge port 711 at the tip end portion thereof. The sand collecting nozzle 71 of this embodiment is formed by crushing a round pipe into a flat shape. When the water stored in the pump well 12 shown in FIG. 2 is supplied to the sand collecting nozzle 71 by the sand collecting water pump P2 through the water supply main pipe 741 and the water supply branch pipe 742, the water supplied to the sand collecting nozzle 71 is supplied. Is discharged from the discharge port 711. In the present embodiment, the discharge flow rate of water discharged from the discharge port 711 is set to 8 m / sec or more, and the discharge pressure is set to 0.05 MPa or more and 0.3 MPa or less. In the present embodiment in which the total length of the trough 31 is set to about 10 m, the flow rate of water discharged from the discharge port 711 is adjusted to about 2000 liters per minute. In addition, when setting the full length of the trough 31 to about 5 m, the flow volume of the water discharged from the discharge outlet 711 is adjusted to about 1500 liters per minute. Thus, the flow rate of the water discharged from the discharge port 711 is appropriately adjusted according to the total length of the trough 31 and the like. In the present embodiment, the water discharged from the discharge port 711 uses sewage stored in the pump well 12, but other sewage received in the sewage treatment plant may be used, such as water Other water may be used.

  When water is discharged into the space S2 of the space forming member 8 from the discharge port 711 of the sand collecting nozzle 71, a pressure difference is generated between the inside (space S2) and the outside of the space forming member 8, and the inside of the trough 31 (space S1). The sand accumulated in () is sucked into the space S2 from the suction port 81 as indicated by the curved arrow shown in FIG. Furthermore, in the space S <b> 2 of the space forming member 8, the sucked sand moves toward the sand collecting pit 4 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) by the flow of water discharged from the discharge port 711. The sand moving in the space S2 is unlikely to go out of the space forming member 8 at the portion where the pressure difference is generated, and the sand is prevented from rolling up. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the sand from rolling up while sufficiently moving the sand. That is, the sand collecting nozzle 71 and the space forming member 8 correspond to an example of a moving mechanism.

  Then, the solid-liquid separation method implemented in the solid-liquid separation facility 10 demonstrated so far is demonstrated. First, the process up to the sedimentation step will be described. In the solid-liquid separation facility 10, the process up to the sedimentation step is continued while the sewage is received.

  When the sewage flowing into the solid-liquid separation facility 10 passes through the dust remover 2 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the residue and the like mixed in the sewage are removed. The sewage that has passed through the dust remover 2 reaches the upstream end of the upstream pond bottom 110a, and further flows toward the pump well 12 in the downstream region R2 shown in FIG. While the sewage flows to the pump well 12, most of the sand contained in the sewage settles in the sand pool R1. Some sand settles in the sand collecting pit 4 and some sand settles in the upstream pond bottom 110a and the downstream pond bottom 110b. The sand settled in the upstream pond bottom 110a and the downstream pond bottom 110b has an inclined surface 32. It flows down to the trough 31. In this way, the sand is settled in the space S1 (see FIG. 4) of the trough 31. The process of settling sand in the trough 31 corresponds to an example of a settling step.

  FIG. 5 is a timing chart showing drive timings and stop timings of pumps and nozzles installed in the solid-liquid separation facility 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The pump and nozzle shown in FIG. 5 are driven in parallel with the settling step described above. In FIG. 5, time elapses from the left to the right in the figure. Further, at the top of FIG. 5, driving (ON) and stopping (OFF) of the sand collecting water pump P2 are shown, and below that, driving (ON) and stopping (OFF) of the sand collecting pump P1 are shown. It is shown.

  FIG. 5 also shows the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a, the upstream second sand collecting nozzle 71b, the stirring nozzle 73, the pit sand collecting nozzle 72, the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c and the downstream shown in FIG. The driving and stopping of each of the side second sand collecting nozzles 71d are also shown. As described above, each of these nozzles (71a to 71d, 72, 73) is provided with one sand collecting valve V2, and in the timing chart of FIG. 5, each nozzle (71a to 71d, 72, 73) is provided. The state of each nozzle (71a-71d, 72, 73) is represented by the open / closed state of the sand collecting valve V2. That is, “fully open” represents the state of the nozzle when the sand collecting valve V2 is fully open, and “fully closed” represents the state of the nozzle when the sand collecting valve V2 is fully closed. As described above, in this embodiment, the opening and closing time of the sand collecting valve V2 is set to about 30 seconds, and the flow rate of water discharged from the nozzle is increased as the sand collecting valve V2 is opened from the fully closed state. When about 30 seconds elapse from the start of opening of the sand collecting valve V2 and the sand collecting valve V2 is fully opened, water at a flow rate adjusted by the sand collecting adjusting valve V1 is discharged from the nozzle. On the other hand, as the sand collecting valve V2 is closed from the fully open state, the flow rate of water discharged from the nozzle decreases. Water discharge from the nozzle stops.

  The drive of each pump (P1, P2) and each nozzle (71a-71d, 72, 73) shown in FIG. 5 is performed at a frequency of about three times per week, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, first, the sand collecting valve V2 of the stirring nozzle 73 is opened, and when about 15 seconds have elapsed since the opening of the sand collecting valve V2, the operation of the sand collecting water pump P2 is started. When about 15 seconds elapse from the start of operation of the sand collecting water pump P2, the sand collecting valve V2 of the stirring nozzle 73 is fully opened, and for example, every minute from the stirring nozzle 73 toward the suction port PO of the sand pump P1. About 500 to 2000 liters of water is discharged. By discharging the water, the sand accumulated around the suction port PO of the sand pump P1 can be stirred. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the suction port PO of the sand pump P1 from being clogged with sand, and it is possible to prevent the sand pump P1 that starts operation from being locked due to so-called sand biting or the like. That is, the stirring nozzle 73 corresponds to an example of a stirring mechanism, and sand stirring by discharging water from the stirring nozzle 73 corresponds to an example of a stirring step.

  When about 15 seconds have elapsed since the sand collecting valve V2 of the stirring nozzle 73 is fully opened, the operation of the sand pump P1 is started. When the operation of the sand pump P1 is started, the sand accumulated in the sand collecting pit 4 is discharged by the sand pump P1 and conveyed to a sand settling separator or the like. Here, the sand discharged by the sand pump P <b> 1 is mainly sand that has settled in the sand collecting pit 4. The sand discharge by the sand pump P1 corresponds to an example of a discharge step. In the present embodiment, this discharging step ends after all of a plurality of downstream side moving steps to be described later are completed. That is, the discharge step of the present embodiment is a step that is executed during execution of a plurality of upstream movement steps described later, and is also executed during execution of a plurality of downstream movement steps.

  Water is discharged from the stirring nozzle 73 in the fully opened state for about 90 seconds, and then the sand collecting valve V2 of the stirring nozzle 73 is started to close. When about 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of closing of the sand collecting valve V2, the valve is fully closed and the discharge of water from the stirring nozzle 73 is stopped. Further, almost simultaneously with the start of closing of the sand collecting valve V2 of the stirring nozzle 73, opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a is started. The sand collecting valve V2 of the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a is fully opened in about 30 seconds from the start of opening, and is 2000 liters per minute from the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a into the space S2 of the space forming member 8. Water is discharged. Thereby, the sand deposited in the upstream first trough 31a can be moved to the sand pit. The movement of sand by discharging water from the upstream first sand collection nozzle 71a corresponds to an example of an upstream movement step. After discharging water from the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a in a fully opened state for about 60 seconds, the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a starts closing the sand collecting valve V2.

  Almost simultaneously with the start of closing of the sand collecting valve V2 of the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a, the opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72 provided in the sand collecting pit 4 is started. The sand collecting valve V2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 is fully opened in about 30 seconds from the start of opening, toward each of the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72 toward the sand pump P1 disposed in the central portion in the pond width direction. 500 to 2000 liters of water are discharged every minute. Thereby, the sand in the sand collection pit 4 can be moved toward the sand pump P1. That is, the pit sand collection nozzle 72 corresponds to an example of an auxiliary movement mechanism, and the movement of sand in the sand collection pit 4 toward the sand pump P1 corresponds to an example of an auxiliary movement step. By this auxiliary moving step, the sand moved from the upstream first trough 31a into the sand collecting pit 4 by the upstream moving step is moved toward the sand pump P1 and efficiently discharged by the sand pump P1. it can. In the present embodiment, water is simultaneously discharged from the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72. However, in the auxiliary moving step after the upstream moving step is executed, the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 on the upstream first trough 31a side. Water may be discharged only from (the upper pit sand collecting nozzle 72 in FIG. 1). However, when water is simultaneously discharged from each of the pair of pit sand collecting nozzles 72, the sand moved in the sand collecting pit 4 is more likely to gather around the sand pump P1.

  Water is discharged from the discharge port 721 of the pit sand collection nozzle 72 in a fully open state for about 60 seconds, and then the sand collection valve V2 of the pit sand collection nozzle 72 is closed. When about 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of closing, the sand collecting valve V2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 is fully closed, and the discharge of water from the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 is stopped. At the same time as the closing of the sand collecting valve V2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72, the opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the upstream second sand collecting nozzle 71b is started. Similarly to the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a, 2000 liters of water per minute is discharged from the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a for about 60 seconds, and the sand accumulated in the upstream second trough 31b is collected in the sand collecting pit 4 Move to. The movement of sand by discharging water from the upstream second sand collection nozzle 71b also corresponds to an example of the upstream movement step. After water is discharged from the upstream second sand collecting nozzle 71b, water is discharged from the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 and the auxiliary movement step is executed.

  At the same time as the closing of the sand collecting valve V2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72, the opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c is started. The downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c also discharges 2000 liters of water per minute for about 60 seconds, and moves the sand accumulated in the downstream first trough 31c to the sand collecting pit 4. The movement of sand by discharging water from the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c corresponds to an example of a downstream movement step. After water is discharged from the downstream first sand collecting nozzle 71c, water is discharged from the discharge port 721 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 and the auxiliary movement step is executed.

  Next, 2000 liters of water per minute is discharged from the downstream second sand collecting nozzle 71d for about 60 seconds, and the sand accumulated in the downstream second trough 31d is moved to the sand collecting pit 4. The movement of sand by discharging water from the downstream second sand collecting nozzle 71d corresponds to an example of a downstream movement step. Thus, the downstream side movement step is a step that ends after all the plurality of upstream side movement steps are completed. Thereby, the sand which has moved to the downstream pond bottom 110b by the upstream side moving step can also be moved to the sand collecting pit 4 by the downstream side moving step, and the downstream first trough 31c and the downstream second trough 31d can be moved. Sand is hard to remain. Since the received sewage flows down from the upstream side to the downstream side, even if the downstream movement step is executed, the sand is difficult to move to the upstream pond bottom 110a. Therefore, the upstream movement step is performed after the downstream movement step is executed. Even if it is not executed, sand hardly remains in the upstream first trough 31a and the upstream second trough 31b. As a result, the sand remaining on the pond bottom 110 is reduced, and the sand contained in the received sewage can be efficiently separated.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the plurality of upstream movement steps start another upstream movement step after the completion of one upstream movement step so that the execution times of the upstream movement steps do not overlap with each other. The downstream side movement steps start another downstream side movement step after the end of one downstream side movement step so that the execution times of the downstream side movement steps do not overlap. That is, the time during which the sand collecting valves V2 of the four sand collecting nozzles 71 are open is shifted. For this reason, in the case of discharging 2,000 liters of water per minute from one sand collecting nozzle 71 as in the present embodiment, 4000 liters of water are discharged from the two sand collecting nozzles 71, 71 together. Never needed. As a result, it is not necessary to use a high-performance pump with a large maximum discharge amount for the sand collecting water pump P2, and the equipment cost can be reduced, and the electric motor of the sand collecting water pump P2 can be reduced in size and the running cost can be reduced. It becomes possible.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the time when the sand collecting valve V2 of each nozzle is fully opened is shifted. Furthermore, the opening and closing time of the sand collecting valve V2 of each nozzle is set to be the same, and the opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the other nozzle is started simultaneously with the start of closing of the sand collecting valve V2 of one nozzle. The sand collecting valve V2 of the other nozzles is set to the fully opened state when the sand collecting valve V2 of the other nozzle is fully closed. Also by this, the maximum discharge amount required for the sand collecting water pump P2 can be suppressed.

  After water is discharged from the downstream second sand collecting nozzle 71d, water is discharged from the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 and the auxiliary movement step is executed. That is, the auxiliary movement step is a step that ends after a downstream movement step that ends at least last among the plurality of downstream movement steps ends. By doing so, sand is prevented from moving to the sand collecting pit 4 by the downstream moving step after the auxiliary moving step is completed, and it is difficult for the sand to remain in the sand collecting pit 4. In addition, since the auxiliary movement step is executed every time when the plurality of upstream movement steps are completed and is also executed every time when the plurality of downstream movement steps are completed, a large amount of sand accumulates in the sand collecting pit 4. The sand is efficiently discharged from the sand pump P1. In addition, as shown by a dashed-dotted line in FIG. 5, water is also discharged from the discharge port of the stirring nozzle 73 in parallel with the discharge of water from the pit sand collecting nozzle 72, and the auxiliary movement step and the stirring step are performed in parallel. May be executed.

  In FIG. 5, the operation of the sand collecting water pump P <b> 2 is stopped substantially at the same time when the sand collecting valve V <b> 2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 starts to be closed, and the sand collecting valve V <b> 2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 is turned on. After the fully closed state, the operation of the sand pump P1 is stopped. By executing the above steps, the sand can be separated from the sewage received by the solid-liquid separation facility 10. Here, when the amount of sand that settles on the pond bottom 110 is large, there is a possibility that the sedimented sand cannot be sufficiently discharged even if one drive as shown in FIG. 5 is executed. For this reason, from the point in time when the opening of the sand collecting valve V2 of the upstream first sand collecting nozzle 71a indicated by D 'in FIG. 5 is started, the sand collecting valve V2 of the pit sand collecting nozzle 72 indicated by D in FIG. The cycle until the closing is started is defined as one cycle, and this cycle may be executed a plurality of times depending on the amount of sand settling. By doing so, even if the amount of sand that settles on the pond bottom 110 is large, the sedimented sand can be sufficiently discharged.

  In the present embodiment, the discharge amount from each nozzle is set to the above-described predetermined flow rate by adjusting the sand collecting adjustment valve V1, and the time for which the sand collecting valve V2 is fully opened is set to about 60 seconds. Within a range such as the maximum discharge amount of the installed sand collecting water pump P2, the discharge amount from each nozzle and the time during which the sand collecting valve V2 is fully opened may be adjusted during the trial operation.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope described in the claims.

The solid-liquid separation facility described so far includes a sedimentation basin section that settles the solid contained in the received liquid,
A pump well provided with a pump provided on the downstream side of the settling basin and discharging the liquid that has passed through the settling basin; and
A connecting portion connecting the settling pond portion and the pump well portion;
The sedimentation pond part is
A plurality of grooves extending in a direction perpendicular to the pond width direction and arranged in the pond width direction;
A moving mechanism for moving the sediment in the extending direction of the groove;
An inclined surface extending obliquely upward from each of a pair of upper edges defining the opening of the groove,
A connecting portion connecting an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove side in one of the two grooves adjacent in the pond width direction and an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove in the other groove Is characterized in that the height is equal to or less than the height of the connecting portion.

In addition, the solid-liquid separation method described so far includes a sedimentation basin portion that causes the received liquid to flow down and settles the solid contained in the liquid,
A pump well provided with a pump provided on the downstream side of the settling basin and discharging the liquid that has passed through the settling basin; and
A connecting portion connecting the settling pond portion and the pump well portion;
The sedimentation pond part is
A plurality of grooves extending in a direction perpendicular to the pond width direction and arranged in the pond width direction;
A moving mechanism for moving the sediment in the extending direction of the groove;
An inclined surface extending obliquely upward from each of a pair of upper edges defining the opening of the groove,
A connecting portion connecting an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove side in one of the two grooves adjacent in the pond width direction and an inclined surface extending from the upper edge of the other groove in the other groove Is a flat part, and the height is not more than the height of the connecting part.

  Here, the connection part may be a flat part or a pointed part where the inclined surface is abutted. Moreover, the sedimentation basin part may have an accumulation part provided with a pump for discharging the solid, and the groove may extend toward the accumulation part. Further, the sedimentation basin portion may be provided with the groove on each of the upstream side and the downstream side across the accumulation portion, or the groove is provided only on the downstream side of the accumulation portion. There may be.

  According to the solid-liquid separation facility, since the plurality of grooves and the inclined surface are provided, the number of grooves corresponding to the pond width is provided even when the pond width of the sedimentation pond portion is wide. Thus, the sediment can be collected in the groove without depositing the sediment on the inclined surface. In addition, the number of the grooves can be reduced by the amount of the inclined surface, and accordingly, the number of the moving mechanisms is also reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in construction costs due to an increase in the number of moving mechanisms. Furthermore, since the height of the connecting portion is equal to or less than the height of the connecting portion, an increase in the amount of placement can be suppressed even when the inclined surface is formed of concrete. Furthermore, the region where the liquid flows is not blocked by the inclined surface, and as a result, the flow cross-sectional area is reduced and sand collection efficiency is prevented from being lowered.

In the solid-liquid separation facility, the moving mechanism is
A space forming member that extends along the groove and that has a closed upper end portion and is provided with a suction port spaced from the bottom of the groove below the upper end portion;
A discharge port for discharging fluid into the space;
The suction port opens in the groove, and functions as an opening for sucking the sediment deposited in the groove into the space by discharging fluid from the discharge port.
The space forming member may function as a path in which the sediment sucked into the space moves toward the downstream side in the fluid discharge direction when the fluid is discharged from the discharge port. .

  According to the moving mechanism, when a fluid is discharged from the discharge port into the space, a pressure difference is generated between the inside and the outside of the space forming member, and sediment deposited on the bottom of the groove is discharged from the suction port. It is sucked into the space. In the space, the sucked sediment moves toward the downstream side in the discharge direction of the fluid by the flow of the fluid. The sediment moving in the space is unlikely to go out of the space forming member in the portion where the pressure difference is generated. For this reason, roll-up of a sediment can be suppressed, for example, fully conveying sediment, such as sand.

  Furthermore, in the solid-liquid separation facility, the inclined surface may have an inclination angle of 15 degrees or more and 45 degrees or less.

  Here, the inclination angle is preferably 15 degrees or more and 40 degrees or less.

  When the inclination angle of the inclined surface is less than 15 degrees, the sediment that has settled on the inclined surface becomes difficult to move to the groove along the inclined surface, and may be deposited on the inclined surface. On the other hand, in order to move the sediment that has settled on the inclined surface to the groove, it is sufficient that the inclination angle is 45 degrees. When the inclination angle exceeds 45 degrees, the flow cross-sectional area is reduced. It is not preferable in terms of an increase in the amount of placing concrete.
