Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、畜産業や食品加工業などから排出される高濃度の有機性汚水の処理装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
有機性汚水の浄化処理には、活性汚泥を用いた方法が従来より用いられてきた。この方法は、有機性汚水に含まれる有機物の分解に寄与する有用微生物の集合体である活性汚泥を、活性汚泥中の有用微生物の活動に必要な酸素を供給するための曝気装置を備えた曝気槽内に蓄えておき、曝気槽内に汚水を添加して、活性汚泥中の有用微生物により汚水中の有機物を好気的(酸化)分解処理させるものである。被処理水はオーバーフローによって曝気槽外へ排出され、沈降分離槽にて活性汚泥を沈降分離した上澄みを系外へ放流する。また、沈降分離された活性汚泥の一部は、曝気槽内の汚泥濃度を高める目的のため、曝気槽へと返送される。
【0003】
し尿処理場など、比較的高濃度の汚水を好気性処理する場合には、曝気により発生した泡がしばしば問題となる。一般に、曝気槽は、曝気された空気を開放するための通気口や、浄化処理された被処理水がオーバーフローによって系外に流出するための排水口が設けてあるが、曝気槽水面にて発生した泡が通気口や排水口から溢れ出して2次公害を引き起こす。更にこの現象が顕著になると、曝気槽内の処理汚水の殆どが泡として槽外に溢れ出て、正常な処理運転が不可能となることもある。
【0004】
従来は、曝気槽水面で発生した泡を、水面上に設置された機械式消泡装置やスプレー式消泡装置により破壊すると同時に、排水口手前に垂れ壁を設けて泡のオーバーフローを防止している。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、垂れ壁には下記の課題が残る。図1に示す従来の技術による好気性汚水処理装置では、曝気槽1に曝気ブロア6と散気装置7が設置されており、曝気により発生した泡12は消泡装置5にて消泡され槽外への流出を防止している。同時に、オーバーフロー口4の手前には垂れ壁8が設置されており、泡のオーバーフローを防止している。汚水原水10が注入されると、曝気槽の水位が上昇することにより、オーバーフロー口4より被処理水11が自然流出する。
【0006】
泡が曝気槽水面上に発生した場合、曝気槽水位には発生した泡に相当するだけの水位降下9が生ずる。水位降下は泡の密度によって変化し、クリーム状の密度の高い泡の場合に大きくなる。有機物濃度が数%にもおよぶ非常に高濃度の汚水を処理する場合、必要となる曝気量も増加するため、特に何等かの運転条件の変化により曝気槽内の処理汚水の水質が悪化した場合に、この現象が顕著となり、ついには図2に示すように、曝気槽全体が密度が水に近いクリーム状の泡で満たされ、垂れ壁の下を回った泡がオーバーフローして系外に流出してしまう。このような正常運転がなされていない状態で汚水原水10を更に注入してゆくと、処理汚水13の水質は更に悪化し、泡の発生を増長し、ついには運転不可能となる。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、高濃度の有機性汚水を処理する汚水処理装置において、なんらかの運転条件の変化により著しい泡の発生があった場合にも、泡の流出を防止して安定した処理運転を継続可能な好気性汚水処理装置を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち上記課題を解決するため、本発明の好気性汚水処理装置は、曝気槽側壁に、当該側壁上部を垂れ壁として機能せしめる被処理水取水口を形設すると共に、当該取水口より高い位置の排水側端部にオーバーフロー口を有し、水位差により取水口に内圧を掛ける略U字形状の流路を備えた曝気を行わない排水設備を前記取水口に接続したことを特徴とする
【0009】
なお、本発明の処理対象となる有機性汚水として、特に泡の発生が顕著な、畜産業や食品加工業から排出される有機物濃度が数%にも及ぶ高濃度汚水が挙げられているが、これに限定されるものではなく、有機物濃度が1%以下の有機性汚水に対しても使用することができる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
まず、第1の実施の形態を示す図3の装置は、箱型曝気槽1の側壁に取水口2を設けて、該取水口2に、排水側端部にオーバーフロー口4を有する略U字形状流路3aを備えた排水設備3を接続したものである。この排水設備3のオーバーフロー口4は、取水口2よりも高い位置となっている。また、曝気槽1には、曝気ブロア6と散気装置7が設置されており、曝気によって発生する泡12は消泡装置5により消泡され、槽外への流出を防止している。取水口2より上部の曝気槽1側壁は垂れ壁8として機能し、泡のオーバーフローを防止している。汚水原水10が注入されると、曝気槽の水位が上昇することにより、オーバーフロー口4より被処理水11が自然流出する。
【0011】
有機物濃度が数%にもおよぶ非常に高濃度の汚水を処理する場合、特に何等かの運転条件の変化により曝気槽内の処理汚水の水質が悪化した場合に、ついには図4に示すように、曝気槽1全体が密度が水に近いクリーム状の泡12で満たされた状態となる。このとき、排水設備3では曝気が行われていないため、U字形状流路3aには封入された被処理水14が存在する。封入された被処理水14の取水口2側とオーバーフロー口4側との水位差により取水口2には内圧が掛かり、泡12は水封じされることにより、泡の流出を防止することができ、正常な運転が保たれる。更に、この状態で汚水原水10を注入しても、泡を同伴して排水設備3に流入した処理汚水は、封入された被処理水14をくぐって移動する際に泡と分離されてオーバーフロー口4から被処理水11として流出することにより、正常な運転が保たれる。
【0012】
実際の実施に際しては、排水設備3において、排水設備3底部と取水口2の高低差、及び取水口2とオーバーフロー口4の高低差を適当に設定することにより、処理する汚水に適合した好気性汚水処理装置を構成することが可能となる。
【0013】
次に、第2の実施の形態を示す図5の装置は、縦型円筒曝気槽20の側壁に取水口2を設けて、該取水口2に、排水側端部にオーバーフロー口4を有する略U字状のパイプ21を排水設備として接続したものであり、それ以外は第1の実施の形態と同様に構成される。
【0014】
因に、この装置を用いて生ゴミ処理場から発生する生ゴミ汚水(BOD 40,000ppm)を処理したところ、クリーム状の泡が多量に発生したが、略U字状パイプ21の底部と取水口2の高低差L1を40cmに、また取水口2とオーバーフロー口4の高低差L2を10cmに設定することにより、泡の流失は防止され、良好な処理運転を行うことができた。
【0015】
更に、第3の実施の形態を示す図6の装置は、排水設備3の底部に大きな流路面積を付与して当該排水設備3を汚泥沈降槽22としても機能せしめたものであり、それ以外は第1の実施の形態と同様に構成される。
【0016】
因に、この装置を用いて前記と同一の生ゴミ汚水を処理したところ、汚泥23による排水設備3の閉塞は発生せず、しかも清澄な上澄みのみが被処理水11としてオーバーフロー口4より流出した。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明の好気性汚水処理装置によれば、略U字形状を有する排水設備に封入された被処理水の水封じ作用により、曝気槽がクリーム状の泡で満たされた運転状態においても泡の流出が防止でき、正常運転の継続が可能となる。同時に、上記運転状態にて汚水原水の注入を継続しても、泡を同伴した処理汚水は、略U字形状を有する排水設備に封入された被処理水をくぐって移動する際に泡と分離されて系外に流出するため、正常運転の継続が可能となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a treatment apparatus for high-concentration organic sewage discharged from the livestock industry or food processing industry.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For purification treatment of organic sewage, a method using activated sludge has been conventionally used. In this method, activated sludge, which is an aggregate of useful microorganisms that contribute to the decomposition of organic matter contained in organic wastewater, is aerated with an aeration device for supplying oxygen necessary for the activity of useful microorganisms in the activated sludge. It is stored in a tank, sewage is added to the aeration tank, and organic matter in the sewage is aerobically (oxidized) decomposed by useful microorganisms in the activated sludge. The water to be treated is discharged out of the aeration tank due to overflow, and the supernatant obtained by settling and separating activated sludge in the settling tank is discharged out of the system. A part of the activated sludge separated and separated is returned to the aeration tank for the purpose of increasing the sludge concentration in the aeration tank.
[0003]
When a relatively high concentration of sewage is aerobically treated, such as a human waste treatment plant, bubbles generated by aeration often become a problem. In general, aeration tanks have vents for releasing aerated air and drainage outlets for purified water to be discharged out of the system due to overflow. Bubbles overflow from the vents and drains and cause secondary pollution. Furthermore, when this phenomenon becomes remarkable, most of the treated sewage in the aeration tank overflows out of the tank as bubbles, and normal treatment operation may become impossible.
[0004]
Conventionally, foam generated on the surface of the aeration tank is destroyed by a mechanical defoaming device or spray defoaming device installed on the water surface, and at the same time a drooping wall is provided in front of the drain port to prevent foam overflow. Yes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the following problems remain in the hanging wall. In the conventional aerobic sewage treatment apparatus shown in FIG. 1, an aeration blower 6 and an aeration apparatus 7 are installed in an aeration tank 1, and bubbles 12 generated by aeration are defoamed by an antifoaming apparatus 5. Prevents outflow. At the same time, a hanging wall 8 is installed in front of the overflow port 4 to prevent the overflow of bubbles. When the raw sewage water 10 is injected, the water to be treated 11 naturally flows out from the overflow port 4 as the water level in the aeration tank rises.
[0006]
When bubbles are generated on the surface of the aeration tank, a water level drop 9 corresponding to the generated bubbles occurs at the aeration tank water level. The water level drop varies depending on the density of the foam, and becomes larger in the case of a creamy dense foam. When processing very high concentrations of sewage with an organic matter concentration of several percent, the required amount of aeration also increases, especially when the quality of the treated sewage in the aeration tank deteriorates due to any change in operating conditions. As shown in Fig. 2, the entire aeration tank is filled with cream-like foam with a density close to that of water, and the foam under the dripping wall overflows and flows out of the system. Resulting in. If the sewage raw water 10 is further injected in such a state where the normal operation is not performed, the quality of the treated sewage 13 is further deteriorated, the generation of bubbles is increased, and the operation is finally impossible.
[0007]
The object of the present invention is to maintain a stable treatment operation by preventing the outflow of foam even in the case of significant foam generation due to some change in operating conditions in a sewage treatment apparatus for treating high-concentration organic sewage. An object is to provide a possible aerobic sewage treatment apparatus.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the aerobic sewage treatment apparatus of the present invention forms a treated water intake that allows the upper portion of the side wall to function as a hanging wall on the aeration tank side wall, and is located higher than the intake. A drainage facility that has a substantially U-shaped channel that has an overflow port at the drain side end and applies an internal pressure to the water intake due to a difference in water level is connected to the water intake .
[0009]
In addition, as organic sewage to be treated according to the present invention, particularly high-concentration sewage in which the generation of bubbles is remarkable, the concentration of organic matter discharged from the livestock industry and food processing industry is several percent, It is not limited to this, It can use also with respect to organic waste water whose organic substance density | concentration is 1% or less.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the apparatus of FIG. 3 which shows 1st Embodiment is provided with the water intake 2 in the side wall of the box-type aeration tank 1, and this water intake 2 has the substantially U shape which has the overflow port 4 in the drain side edge part. The drainage equipment 3 provided with the shape flow path 3a is connected. The overflow port 4 of the drainage facility 3 is positioned higher than the water intake port 2. Further, the aeration tank 1 is provided with an aeration blower 6 and an air diffuser 7, and bubbles 12 generated by aeration are defoamed by the defoaming apparatus 5 to prevent outflow from the tank. The side wall of the aeration tank 1 above the intake port 2 functions as a drooping wall 8 to prevent foam overflow. When the raw sewage water 10 is injected, the water to be treated 11 naturally flows out from the overflow port 4 as the water level in the aeration tank rises.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 4, when processing very high concentration sewage with an organic substance concentration of several percent, especially when the quality of the sewage in the aeration tank deteriorates due to some change in operating conditions. The entire aeration tank 1 is filled with cream-like foam 12 having a density close to that of water. At this time, since aeration is not performed in the drainage facility 3, the water to be treated 14 is present in the U-shaped flow path 3a. The internal pressure is applied to the water intake port 2 due to the difference in water level between the water intake port 2 side and the overflow port 4 side of the sealed water 14 to be treated, and the foam 12 can be prevented from flowing out by water sealing. Normal operation is maintained. Furthermore, even if the raw sewage water 10 is injected in this state, the treated sewage that has flowed into the drainage facility 3 accompanied with bubbles is separated from the bubbles when moving through the treated water 14 that has been sealed, and is overflowed. Normal operation is maintained by flowing out as treated water 11 from 4.
[0012]
In actual implementation, in the drainage facility 3, by setting the height difference between the bottom of the drainage facility 3 and the intake port 2 and the difference in height between the intake port 2 and the overflow port 4, it is aerobic suitable for the sewage to be treated. It becomes possible to constitute a sewage treatment apparatus.
[0013]
Next, the apparatus of FIG. 5 which shows 2nd Embodiment is provided with the water intake 2 in the side wall of the vertical cylindrical aeration tank 20, and has the overflow port 4 in this water intake 2 and the drain side edge part. The U-shaped pipe 21 is connected as a drainage facility, and the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0014]
Incidentally, when the waste sewage (BOD 40,000ppm) generated from the garbage treatment plant was processed using this device, a lot of cream-like foam was generated, but the bottom of the substantially U-shaped pipe 21 and the water intake port. By setting the height difference L1 of No. 2 to 40 cm and the height difference L2 of the intake port 2 and the overflow port 4 to 10 cm, the loss of bubbles was prevented and a favorable treatment operation could be performed.
[0015]
Furthermore, the apparatus of FIG. 6 showing the third embodiment is one in which a large flow path area is given to the bottom of the drainage facility 3 so that the drainage facility 3 functions as the sludge settling tank 22. Is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0016]
Incidentally, when the same raw garbage sewage as above was treated using this apparatus, the sludge 23 did not block the drainage equipment 3 and only the clear supernatant flowed out from the overflow port 4 as the treated water 11. .
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the aerobic sewage treatment apparatus of the present invention, the foaming of the aeration tank is filled with creamy foam by the water sealing action of the water to be treated enclosed in the drainage facility having a substantially U shape. Outflow can be prevented and normal operation can be continued. At the same time, even if the raw sewage water is continuously injected in the above operation state, the treated sewage accompanied by bubbles is separated from the bubbles when moving through the water to be treated enclosed in the drainage facility having a substantially U shape. Since it flows out of the system, normal operation can be continued.
