Description

  The present invention relates to a method and system for treating phosphorus-containing wastewater.

  As a method for treating phosphorus-containing wastewater, a so-called biological dephosphorization method is known in which phosphorus in wastewater is removed by performing activated sludge treatment under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of treating a membrane separation activated sludge method, which has been spreading in recent years, in combination with a biological dephosphorization method.

  By the way, in the biological dephosphorization method, if the treatment is continued, the phosphorus removal performance may decrease. As a countermeasure for such cases, conventionally, an aluminum chemical such as aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride or an iron chemical such as ferric chloride or ferric sulfate is added to insolubilize the soluble phosphorus in the waste water. There are known methods for removing them. However, the method of removing soluble phosphorus by adding an aluminum-based agent or an iron-based agent cannot be said to be a measure for restoring the phosphorus removal performance by the biological dephosphorization method.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a wastewater treatment method and a wastewater treatment system that can easily recover or maintain the phosphorus removal performance of the biological dephosphorization method.

  The wastewater treatment method of the present invention that has solved the above problems is a first activated sludge treatment step in which phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced into a first anaerobic tank and then introduced into a first aerobic tank to perform activated sludge treatment. And a second activated sludge treatment step in which phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced into the second aerobic tank to perform activated sludge treatment, and the activated sludge in the second activated sludge treatment step is used as the first anaerobic tank or / and the first aerobic tank. It has the characteristic in having a sludge supply process to supply to a tank. The treatment method of the present invention includes the sludge supply step, so that it becomes easy to maintain the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment step, or the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment step in which the phosphorus removal performance is reduced. Will be able to recover easily.

  In the first activated sludge treatment step, it is preferable to obtain treated water by solid-liquid separation of the in-vessel water of the first aerobic tank by the membrane separation means. When membrane separation means is used in the first activated sludge treatment process, the sludge residence time (SRT) becomes longer and the organic content in the activated sludge is self-digested, whereby the activated sludge is altered or contained in the activated sludge. The amount of microorganisms may be reduced. In this case, the phosphorus removal performance in the first activated sludge treatment process tends to unintentionally decrease. Therefore, when the membrane separation means is used in the first activated sludge treatment step, the effect of the present invention can be easily enjoyed.

  In the wastewater treatment method of the present invention, a part of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is subjected to activated sludge treatment in the first activated sludge treatment step, and a part or all of the remaining part of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is treated in the second activated sludge treatment step. It is preferable to carry out the treatment. In this way, when the activated sludge treatment of the first activated sludge treatment process and the second activated sludge treatment process is performed, the activated sludge treatment performance of the first activated sludge treatment process can be quickly recovered or maintained well by the sludge supply process. Easy to do.

  The present invention is also a wastewater treatment system for performing the wastewater treatment method of the present invention, and includes a first activated sludge treatment apparatus having a first anaerobic tank and a first aerobic tank, and a second aerobic tank. Provided is a wastewater treatment system having a second activated sludge treatment device and sludge supply means for supplying activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment device to a first anaerobic tank or / and a first aerobic tank. By using such a wastewater treatment system, the wastewater treatment method of the present invention can be suitably performed.

  The wastewater treatment system of the present invention preferably has a membrane separation means for obtaining treated water by solid-liquid separation of the in-vessel water of the first aerobic tank. Furthermore, the wastewater treatment system of the present invention is based on the phosphorus concentration measuring means for measuring the phosphorus concentration of the treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment apparatus, and the sludge supply based on the phosphorus concentration value measured by the phosphorus concentration measuring means. It is preferable to have control means for controlling the supply amount of activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment apparatus by means.

  The wastewater treatment method and wastewater treatment system of the present invention can easily recover or maintain the phosphorus removal performance of the biological dephosphorization method.

An example of the waste water treatment system used suitably for the waste water treatment method of this invention is represented.

  In the wastewater treatment method of the present invention, the phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced into the first anaerobic tank, then introduced into the first aerobic tank, and activated sludge treatment is performed, and the phosphorus-containing wastewater is treated as the second aerobic. It has the 2nd activated sludge process process which introduce | transduces into a tank and performs activated sludge process.

  In the treatment method of the present invention, the phosphorus-containing wastewater to be treated is not particularly limited as long as it is wastewater containing phosphorus that can be removed by activated sludge treatment that combines anaerobic treatment and aerobic treatment. Such soluble phosphorus is preferably included, and it is preferable that biological oxygen demand (BOD) is further included. Examples of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to be treated by the treatment method of the present invention include sewage, human waste, process wastewater generated by sewage treatment and human waste treatment, factory wastewater generated from food factories, paper pulp factories, chemical factories, etc. Wastewater generated by the treatment of livestock waste.

  The phosphorus-containing wastewater introduced into the first activated sludge treatment step and the second activated sludge treatment step may be the same or different. Moreover, the phosphorus containing waste_water | drain introduce | transduced into a 1st activated sludge process process and a 2nd activated sludge process process originates in the same raw | natural water, and this raw | natural water may be processed differently.

  For example, the first activated sludge treatment step and the second activated sludge treatment step may correspond to different treatment sequences of the same sewage treatment plant, or may correspond to treatment sequences of different sewage treatment plants. Well, one may be related to sewage treatment and the other related to human waste treatment, one corresponding to inflow sewage treatment in the sewage treatment plant and the other equivalent to process wastewater (returned water) treatment in the sewage treatment plant. May be.

  The second activated sludge treatment process will be described. In the second activated sludge treatment step, phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced into the second aerobic tank and treated with activated sludge.

  The activated sludge used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used in wastewater treatment. In the activated sludge, for example, microorganisms such as protozoa and small animals exist.

In the aerobic tank, activated sludge is diffused (aerated) by supplying gas containing gaseous oxygen (O ₂ ) such as air to the activated sludge. The aerobic tank is preferably provided with a diffuser. As a diffuser, a known diffuser generally used for water treatment may be used. Examples of the diffuser include a membrane diffuser that diffuses air from a slit provided in a resin membrane, a diffuser diffuser that diffuses through a ceramic or metal porous body, and a resin or metal diffuser. A porous diffuser or the like that diffuses air from holes provided in a tube or plate is shown. The shape of such an air diffuser is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a tube type, a panel type, and a disk type. In addition, as a diffuser, a mechanical (underwater agitator) diffuser in which agitating blades and a diffuser pipe are combined and the supplied air or the like is sheared by rotating agitating blades. May be used.

  In the second activated sludge treatment process, an anaerobic tank is not provided. Only one second aerobic tank or a plurality of second aerobic tanks may be provided. Specific examples of the second activated sludge treatment step include a standard activated sludge method, a step aeration method, a pseudo-anaerobic aerobic method, and the like. The pseudo-anaerobic aerobic method is a modification of the standard activated sludge method, and a treatment method that can remove some phosphorus by reducing the amount of air diffused on the inflow side of the aerobic tank to a low oxygen state. It is.

  Since the anaerobic tank is not provided in the second activated sludge treatment process, the phosphorus intake ability of microorganisms contained in the activated sludge is reduced, and the phosphorus removal performance is lower than that in the first activated sludge treatment process. In the second activated sludge treatment step, the phosphorus content per solid content in the activated sludge is, for example, 2.0% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less. In the present invention, the solid content in activated sludge means suspended solids (SS: Suspended Solid) in activated sludge.

  In the second activated sludge treatment step, the hydraulic residence time (HRT) in the second aerobic tank is preferably about 4 hours to 12 hours, for example. The hydraulic residence time (HRT) is determined by (effective tank volume) / (inflow water amount to the tank per hour).

  In the first activated sludge treatment step, phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced into the first anaerobic tank and then introduced into the first aerobic tank, where it is subjected to activated sludge treatment. That is, phosphorus-containing wastewater is treated with activated sludge in the first anaerobic tank and then treated with activated sludge in the first aerobic tank.

  In the first activated sludge treatment step, it is preferable that the activated sludge circulates between the first anaerobic tank and the first aerobic tank, and as a result, microorganisms having a high phosphorus storage capacity are likely to grow. In other words, the activated sludge is alternately placed under anaerobic and aerobic conditions, so that microorganisms with high phosphorus accumulation ability are likely to proliferate preferentially. Moreover, the soluble phosphorus in waste water is removed by microorganisms by placing such microorganisms under anaerobic conditions and then under aerobic conditions. Therefore, in the first activated sludge treatment step, the phosphorus removal ability by microorganisms contained in the activated sludge is higher than in the second activated sludge treatment step. The phosphorus content per solid content in the activated sludge of the first aerobic tank is, for example, more than 3.0 mass% and 6.0 mass% or less.

Unlike the aerobic tank, the anaerobic tank does not supply gas containing gaseous oxygen (O ₂ ) such as air to the activated sludge. The tank water (activated sludge) in the anaerobic tank may contain oxo acid compounds such as nitric acid and nitrous acid. That is, in the present invention, the anaerobic tank includes a so-called anoxic tank. However, in order to improve the phosphorus removal performance in the first activated sludge treatment step, it is preferable that the concentration of nitric acid or nitrous acid is low. For example, in the first activated sludge treatment step, it is preferable that at least one anaerobic tank (for example, 3 mg-N / L or less as the concentration of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen) having a low concentration of nitric acid or nitrous acid is present. It is preferable that the anaerobic tank is provided with a stirring device for stirring the activated sludge.

  Only one first anaerobic tank may be provided, or a plurality of first anaerobic tanks may be provided. Only one first aerobic tank or a plurality of first aerobic tanks may be provided. Specific examples of the first activated sludge treatment step include an anaerobic aerobic method, an anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic method (corresponding to providing a plurality of first anaerobic tanks in this case), and the like.

  In the first activated sludge treatment step, for example, when treatment is performed by an anaerobic aerobic method, the hydraulic residence time (HRT) of the first anaerobic tank and the first aerobic tank is 0.5 hours to 2 hours, 2 It is preferably in the range of time to 5 hours. For example, when the treatment is performed by an anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic method, the first anaerobic tank corresponding to the anaerobic tank, the first anaerobic tank corresponding to the anaerobic tank, and the hydraulic residence time (HRT) of the aerobic tank. Each is preferably in the range of 0.5-2 hours, 1-3 hours, 2-5 hours. By performing the first activated sludge treatment step under such conditions, it becomes easy to improve the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment step.

  By the way, in the so-called biological dephosphorization method that removes phosphorus in the wastewater by performing activated sludge treatment in an anaerobic tank and an aerobic tank, the phosphorus removal performance may decrease if the treatment is continued. . In the biological dephosphorization method, phosphorus removal performance may deteriorate due to large fluctuations in the quality of influent water such as in rainy weather, but the cause may be unknown. In general, as a method for coping with the decrease in phosphorus removal performance due to the biological dephosphorization method, an aluminum-based agent such as aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride or an iron-based agent such as ferric chloride or ferric sulfate is added. It has been broken. However, the method of removing soluble phosphorus by the addition of an aluminum-based chemical or an iron-based chemical is accompanied by generation of sludge, which is not very preferable. Moreover, the addition of aluminum-based chemicals or iron-based chemicals does not directly restore the phosphorus removal performance by the biological dephosphorization method.

  However, according to the present invention, by supplying the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment process in which the activated sludge treatment is performed in the aerobic tank to the first activated sludge treatment process in which the activated sludge treatment is performed in the anaerobic tank and the aerobic tank. It was found that the phosphorus removal performance can be recovered for the biological dephosphorization method in which the phosphorus removal performance is lowered. That is, in the wastewater treatment method of the present invention, in addition to the first activated sludge treatment step and the second activated sludge treatment step, the activated sludge from the second activated sludge treatment step is supplied to the first anaerobic tank or / and the first aerobic tank. It has a sludge supply process to supply.

  As the activated sludge in the second activated sludge treatment step, activated sludge in the second aerobic tank may be used, or sludge obtained by concentrating the activated sludge in the second aerobic tank by any solid-liquid separation means is used. May be. As an optional solid-liquid separation means, there may be mentioned a mode in which a settling tank, a settling basin, etc. are provided after the second aerobic tank. In this case, the concentrated activated sludge obtained in the settling tank, the settling basin, etc. 1 Supply to activated sludge treatment process. In addition, the aspect which provides a sedimentation tank and a sedimentation basin is not limited to when providing in the back | latter stage of a 2nd aerobic tank, These may be provided in the back | latter stage of a 1st aerobic tank. Membrane separation means may be used as the solid-liquid separation means. The membrane separation means will be described in detail later. In addition, it is preferable to obtain separately treated water with the concentrated activated sludge by a solid-liquid separation means.

  When supplying the activated sludge in the second aerobic tank to the first anaerobic tank or / and the first aerobic tank, for example, one end communicates with the second aerobic tank and the other end is the first anaerobic tank or A sludge supply path communicating with the first aerobic tank may be provided, and the activated sludge in the second aerobic tank may be transferred through the sludge supply path. Examples of the sludge supply path include a pipe line and an open channel, and a transfer means such as a pump may be provided in the sludge supply path as necessary. In the case where the sludge obtained by concentrating the activated sludge in the second aerobic tank by any separation means is supplied to the first anaerobic tank or / and the first aerobic tank, for example, the sludge concentrated through the sludge supply path is used as the first anaerobic tank. What is necessary is just to transfer to a tank or / and a 1st aerobic tank.

  In the treatment method of the present invention, by providing the sludge supply step, it becomes easy to maintain the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment step, or the phosphorus removal of the first activated sludge treatment step in which the phosphorus removal performance is reduced. It becomes easy to increase the performance. Furthermore, by supplying the activated sludge from the second activated sludge treatment process extracted as excess sludge to the first activated sludge treatment process, the total amount of excess sludge from the first activated sludge treatment process and the second activated sludge treatment process is increased. It can be prevented from increasing.

  The reason why the processing method of the present invention provides such an effect is not clear, but the following hypothesis can be considered. That is, in the first activated sludge treatment process, the activated sludge phosphorus removal capacity is utilized to the maximum, whereas the activated sludge in the second activated sludge treatment process has sufficient capacity for removing phosphorus. By supplying the activated sludge in the process to the first activated sludge treatment process, there is a surplus in the phosphorus removal capability of the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process, and the phosphorus removal performance in the first activated sludge treatment process is improved. In addition, this invention is not limitedly interpreted based on this hypothesis.

  The sludge supply process may be performed continuously or intermittently. However, when performing a sludge supply process, for example, the pump power cost for transferring the activated sludge of a 2nd activated sludge process to a 1st activated sludge process is required, and also the extraction sludge from a 1st activated sludge process is taken. Since the amount may increase, the pump power cost for extracting and transferring the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment step may also increase. Moreover, the phosphorus removal performance in the first activated sludge treatment process can be maintained at a desired level without always performing the sludge supply process. Therefore, it is preferable to perform the sludge supply process intermittently from the viewpoint of reducing wastewater treatment costs.

  In the sludge supply step, it is preferable to increase the supply amount of activated sludge from the second activated sludge treatment step when the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment step is lowered or is likely to decline. Or it is preferable to perform a sludge supply process when the phosphorus removal performance of a 1st activated sludge process process falls, or when it seems to fall. As an index of the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment process, for example, the phosphorus concentration of the treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment process or the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process Etc. may be adopted. The treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment step is obtained by separating the activated sludge from the first activated sludge treatment step by any solid-liquid separation means, and the solid content concentration is reduced as compared with the activated sludge. Means separated components. What is necessary is just to employ | adopt the solid-liquid separation means which can be used for the concentration of the activated sludge of the 2nd aerobic tank demonstrated above as a solid-liquid separation means.

  A case where the first activated sludge treatment process is performed using the phosphorus concentration of treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment process as an index will be described. In this case, it is preferable to provide a phosphorus concentration measuring means for measuring the phosphorus concentration of the treated water and control the sludge supply amount in the sludge supply process based on the phosphorus concentration value measured by the phosphorus concentration measuring means. More simply, it is preferable to perform the sludge supply step when the phosphorus concentration of the treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment step is a predetermined value or more. When the wastewater treatment method of the present invention targets sewage, the phosphorus concentration of treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment step is, for example, 1.0 mg-P / L or more (more preferably, 0.5 mg-P / L or more), the sludge supply step is preferably performed.

  As the phosphorus concentration measuring means, a phosphorus concentration meter may be used, or treated water may be collected periodically by an autosampler, and the phosphorus concentration may be measured automatically or manually. As the phosphorus concentration meter, for example, a total phosphorus measuring device TPO-3Z manufactured by Kasahara Chemical Co., Ltd., or a total phosphorus analyzer FI-P50 manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech Co., Ltd. can be used. Moreover, it is preferable to employ | adopt soluble phosphorus (phosphate phosphorus) density | concentration as the phosphorus density | concentration of the treated water used as a parameter | index of the phosphorus removal performance of a 1st activated sludge process process.

  A case where the first activated sludge treatment process is performed using the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process as an index will be described. In this case, as the activated sludge, it is preferable to use the activated sludge of the first aerobic tank in which phosphorus intake by microorganisms is performed. If the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first aerobic tank is increased, it is determined that the remaining capacity of the activated sludge for removing phosphorus is small, and it is preferable to increase the amount of sludge supplied in the sludge supply step. More simply, it is preferable to perform the sludge supply step when the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first aerobic tank is a predetermined value or more. When the wastewater treatment method of the present invention targets sewage, the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first aerobic tank is, for example, 5.0% by mass or more (4.0 based on stricter standards). In the case of mass% or more), it is preferable to perform the sludge supply step. By measuring the phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first aerobic tank, it is possible to predict a situation where the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment process is likely to be reduced.

  The phosphorus content per solid content of the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process is obtained by collecting the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process or the (activated) sludge discharged from the first activated sludge treatment process. You may measure per phosphorus content. In addition, instead of analyzing (active) sludge, the phosphorus concentration and flow rate of the phosphorus-containing wastewater introduced into the first activated sludge treatment step, the phosphorus concentration and flow rate of the treated water discharged from the first activated sludge treatment step By measuring the flow rate of (active) sludge discharged from the first activated sludge treatment process and the (active) sludge solid content concentration, and calculating the phosphorus balance of the first activated sludge treatment process in and out, the activity You may obtain | require the phosphorus content rate per solid content of sludge.

  The supply amount of activated sludge in the sludge supply process is preferably adjusted based on the amount of activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment process. Specifically, the supply amount of activated sludge as a solid content in the sludge supply step is the solid amount of activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment step (the activated sludge in the first anaerobic tank and the first aerobic tank) per day. The amount is preferably 5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less of the amount. By defining in this way, it becomes easy to maintain the activated sludge treatment performance of the first activated sludge treatment process while replacing the activated sludge of the first activated sludge treatment process.

  In the activated sludge treatment, generally, sludge is generated along with the treatment, that is, the amount of activated sludge is increased, and it is extracted from the tank as surplus sludge. When the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment process is supplied to the first activated sludge treatment process by the sludge supply process, the amount of excess sludge that is always discharged from the first activated sludge treatment process In addition, it is preferable to draw out the amount corresponding to the amount of sludge supplied in the sludge supply step as excess sludge. In this way, it is preferable to keep the activated sludge solid content or activated sludge concentration in the first anaerobic tank and the first aerobic tank in a certain range in order to stabilize the processing performance.

  The surplus sludge extracted from the first activated sludge treatment process during the sludge supply process may be partially or entirely supplied to the second activated sludge treatment process. By doing in this way, even if a large amount of activated sludge is supplied from the second activated sludge treatment process to the first activated sludge treatment process, the activated sludge solid content or activated sludge concentration in the second aerobic tank is kept within a certain range. Easy to keep.

  When the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment process is supplied to the first activated sludge treatment process by the sludge supply process, the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment process is significantly different from the activated sludge of the first activated sludge treatment process. The activated sludge treatment performance of the first activated sludge treatment process may be temporarily greatly reduced by the sludge supply process. Therefore, it is preferable that the activated sludge in the second activated sludge treatment step and the activated sludge in the first activated sludge treatment step are acclimatized by wastewater derived from the same raw water. As waste water derived from the same raw water, those having at least substantially the same soluble components are preferable. If the soluble components are almost the same, the microorganisms in the activated sludge assimilate the soluble components in the wastewater, and similar microorganisms are likely to grow. Therefore, in this case, by supplying the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment process to the first activated sludge treatment process, the activated sludge treatment performance of the first activated sludge treatment process can be quickly recovered or maintained in good condition. Becomes easier.

  In order to perform activated sludge treatment in each of the first activated sludge treatment step and the second activated sludge treatment step with wastewater having at least the same soluble components, a part of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is activated in the first activated sludge treatment step. What is necessary is just to make it sludge process and to perform the activated sludge process in the 2nd activated sludge process process for a part or all of the remainder of the said phosphorus containing waste_water | drain. At this time, solid or liquid separation means such as a precipitation tank or a sedimentation basin may be provided in the previous stage of the first anaerobic tank to remove part or all of the solid content of the phosphorus-containing wastewater introduced into the first anaerobic tank. Similarly, a solid-liquid separation means such as a sedimentation tank or a sedimentation basin is provided in the preceding stage of the second aerobic tank, and a part or all of the solid content of the phosphorus-containing wastewater introduced into the second aerobic tank is removed. Good. The solid-liquid separation performance of the solid-liquid separation means provided in the previous stage of the first anaerobic tank and the solid-liquid separation means provided in the previous stage of the second aerobic tank may be the same or different.

  About a 1st activated sludge process process, a preferable embodiment is demonstrated. In the first activated sludge treatment step, it is preferable to obtain treated water by solid-liquid separation of the in-vessel water of the first aerobic tank by the membrane separation means. By separating the water in the tank of the first aerobic tank into solid and liquid by the membrane separation means, it becomes easy to keep the activated sludge concentration in the first aerobic tank high, and the processing load per volume of the first aerobic tank Can be increased. In addition, it becomes easy to obtain treated water having a low suspended matter concentration (SS concentration).

  As a method of obtaining the treated water by solid-liquid separation of the water in the first aerobic tank by the membrane separation means, for example, the water in the tank of the first aerobic tank by the membrane separation means immersed in the first aerobic tank May be subjected to solid-liquid separation, or the water in the tank of the first aerobic tank may be subjected to solid-liquid separation by a membrane separation means installed outside the tank of the first aerobic tank. The former method is preferably employed from the viewpoint of easily realizing stable solid-liquid separation by the membrane separation means while keeping the activated sludge concentration in the first aerobic tank high. That is, in the first activated sludge treatment step, treatment by a so-called membrane separation activated sludge method is obtained in which the water in the tank of the first aerobic tank is solid-liquid separated by the membrane separation means immersed in the first aerobic tank. Is preferably made.

  When membrane separation means is used in the first activated sludge treatment process, the sludge retention time (SRT) of the first activated sludge treatment process is lengthened while obtaining treated water having a low suspended solids concentration (SS concentration), and the first activated sludge treatment process is performed. It becomes easy to increase the activated sludge suspended solid concentration (MLSS concentration) in the sludge treatment process. However, when the sludge residence time becomes long, the organic content in the activated sludge is self-digested, so that the activated sludge may be altered or the amount of microorganisms contained in the activated sludge may be reduced. In this case, the case where the phosphorus removal performance in the first activated sludge treatment step is unintentionally reduced is more likely to occur. Therefore, when the membrane separation means is used in the first activated sludge treatment step, it becomes easier to enjoy the effects of the present invention.

  As the membrane separation means, it is preferable to use a membrane having a pore size of 0.05 μm to 10 μm. If a membrane having such a pore diameter is used, membrane filtrate (treated water) having substantially no suspended solid concentration (SS concentration) can be easily obtained while ensuring an appropriate membrane permeation flow rate. The pore diameter of the membrane is preferably 0.05 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more, and preferably 5 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less.

  Examples of the membrane used for the membrane separation means include hollow fiber membranes, tubular membranes, flat membranes, and monolith membranes. The material of the membrane is not limited to organic materials such as cellulose acetate, polysulfone, polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile; inorganic membranes such as alumina and zirconia.

  In order to maintain the activated sludge suspended solid concentration (MLSS concentration) in the first aerobic tank relatively high and increase the processing load per volume of the first aerobic tank, as a membrane used in the membrane separation means, It is preferable to employ a flat film. In view of ease of handling, it is preferable to use an organic film as the film material. Further, as a filtration method, it is preferable to adopt a cross flow method as a method for easily treating highly turbid water with stability. In this case, it is preferable that the membrane separation means is provided above the air diffuser of the first aerobic tank so that the membrane surface is cleaned by air or the like supplied from the air diffuser.

  When performing the membrane separation activated sludge method in the first aerobic tank, it is preferable to appropriately discharge the water (activated sludge) in the tank of the first aerobic tank as excess sludge. Moreover, you may return a part of sludge discharged | emitted from a 1st aerobic tank to a 1st anaerobic tank.

  When performing the membrane separation activated sludge method in the first aerobic tank, the activated sludge suspended solid concentration (MLSS concentration) in the first aerobic tank is preferably 8,000 mg / L or more, and 30,000 mg / L or less. It is preferable to set it to 15,000 mg / L or less. By controlling the activated sludge suspended solids concentration (MLSS concentration) in the range of 8,000 mg / L to 30,000 mg / L, the activated sludge treatment in the first aerobic tank and the solid-liquid separation by the membrane separation means are performed well. It becomes easy. In the treatment method of the present invention, when membrane separation means is not provided in the aerobic tank or the anaerobic tank, the activated sludge suspended solid concentration (MLSS concentration) in the tank is 1,000 mg / L to 7,500 mg / L. It is preferable to set the degree.

  A wastewater treatment system suitably used in the wastewater treatment method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  The wastewater treatment system of the present invention includes a first activated sludge treatment apparatus having a first anaerobic tank 11 and a first aerobic tank 12 and a second activated sludge treatment apparatus having a second aerobic tank 22.

  In FIG. 1, a tank 11a having a relatively strong anaerobic state and a tank 11b having a relatively weak anaerobic state (so-called anoxic state) are provided as the first anaerobic tank 11. In general, the tank 11a is often called an anaerobic tank and the tank 11b is often called an anoxic tank. Moreover, in FIG. 1, the sludge return means 15b which returns the activated sludge of the 1st aerobic tank 12 to the 1st anaerobic tank 11b, and the sludge return means 15a which returns the activated sludge of the 1st anaerobic tank 11b to the 1st anaerobic tank 11a And are provided. As the sludge return means, a sludge supply path such as a pipe line or open channel may be employed, and a transfer means such as a pump may be provided as necessary. As shown in FIG. 1, the first activated sludge treatment apparatus may be provided with a plurality of first anaerobic tanks. Moreover, it is preferable that the sludge supply means which returns the activated sludge of a 1st aerobic tank to a 1st anaerobic tank is provided. According to the 1st activated sludge processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1, it becomes easy to remove nitrogen with the phosphorus in waste_water | drain.

In FIG. 1, an initial settling basin 16 is provided as a solid-liquid separation means in the previous stage of the first anaerobic tank 11. Similarly, an initial settling basin 26 is provided as a solid-liquid separation means in the previous stage of the second aerobic tank 22. Further, a final sedimentation basin 27 is also provided as a solid-liquid separation means at the subsequent stage of the second aerobic tank 22. Activated sludge second activated sludge treatment device is concentrated by solid-liquid separation means 27, with withdrawn as return sludge or excess sludge S _2, the supernatant is obtained as the treated water O _2. Solid-liquid separation means such as the first sedimentation basins 16 and 26 and the final sedimentation basin 27 may be provided as needed.

  The wastewater treatment system has a sludge supply means 31 that supplies the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment apparatus to the first anaerobic tank 11 and / or the first aerobic tank 12. The activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment device is supplied to the first anaerobic tank 11 and / or the first aerobic tank 12 by the sludge supply means 31. In FIG. 1, one end of the sludge supply means 31 communicates with the solid-liquid separation means 27, but it may communicate with the second aerobic tank 22 instead of the solid-liquid separation means 27. The other end of the sludge supply means 31 only needs to communicate with the first anaerobic tank 11 and / or the first aerobic tank 12. As the sludge supply means 31, a sludge supply path such as a pipe line or open channel may be adopted, and a transfer means such as a pump 32 may be provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wastewater treatment system preferably has membrane separation means 14 for obtaining treated water by solid-liquid separation of 12 tank waters (activated sludge) of the first aerobic tank. In FIG. 1, the membrane separation means 14 is provided soaked in the first aerobic tank 12 so as to be positioned above the air diffuser 13.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

  A first activated sludge treatment apparatus having an anaerobic tank, an anaerobic tank, and an aerobic tank, and provided with membrane separation means (nominal average pore diameter 0.2 μm, chlorinated polyethylene flat membrane) in the aerobic tank; Sewage was subjected to activated sludge treatment using a second activated sludge treatment apparatus having an air tank. In the first activated sludge treatment device and the second activated sludge treatment device, the supernatant obtained by subjecting the same sewage to the solid-liquid separation treatment in the first sedimentation basin was introduced as the inflow water. In the first sedimentation basin provided in the previous stage of the first activated sludge treatment device and the first sedimentation basin provided in the previous stage of the second activated sludge treatment device, the sludge removal rate is appropriately selected so that the activated sludge treatment is suitably performed in each treatment device. Changed.

As standard operating conditions of the first activated sludge treatment device, the amount of water flowing into the first activated sludge treatment device (anaerobic tank) is about 50 m ³ / day, and the amount of treated water (the amount of membrane filtered water obtained by membrane separation means) is Approximately 50m ³ / day, excess sludge extraction from aerobic tank is 0.3m ³ / day, active sludge suspended solid concentration (MLSS concentration) in anaerobic tank, anoxic tank, and aerobic tank is about 5,000mg / day L, about 8,000 mg / L, about 10,000 mg / L, hydraulic residence time (HRT) was about 1 hour, about 2 hours, about 3 hours, and sludge residence time (SRT) was about 40 days. It was.

The standard operating conditions of the second activated sludge treatment device are as follows: the amount of water flowing into the second activated sludge treatment device and the amount of treated water are about 150,000 m ³ / day, and the activated sludge suspended solids concentration (MLSS concentration) is about 1, 500 mg / L, hydraulic residence time (HRT) was about 7 hours, and sludge residence time (SRT) was about 4 days.

Table 1 shows the results of the activated sludge treatment performed by the first activated sludge treatment device under such conditions. Each analysis item shown in Table 1 was analyzed according to the sewage test method. Since the influent water was first subjected to solid-liquid separation treatment in the sedimentation basin, it can be considered that 50 to 80% of the TP concentration (total phosphorus concentration) corresponds to the PO ₄ -P concentration (phosphate phosphorus concentration). The phosphorus content of activated sludge represents the phosphorus content per activated sludge solid content. Since the treated water is obtained by membrane separation means, it can be considered that the TP concentration is substantially equal to the PO ₄ -P concentration.

About 10 days after the start of treatment, phosphorus removal from the influent water (phosphorus-containing wastewater) was performed well in the first activated sludge treatment apparatus. However, the phosphorous concentration of the treated water obtained from the first activated sludge treatment apparatus began to increase around 15 days after the start of the treatment. Therefore, the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment apparatus was added to the anaerobic tank of the first activated sludge treatment apparatus for a total of 12 m ³ (about 60 kg as a solid content) for 3 days from the 21st to the 23rd day after the start of the treatment. . During this time, the amount of excess sludge withdrawn from the aerobic tank of the first activated sludge treatment device was increased to an average of 2.5 m ³ / day (about 2.5 kg / day as the solid content), and this excess sludge was treated with the second activated sludge treatment. Returned to the aerobic tank of the device. As a result, the phosphorus removal performance of the first activated sludge treatment device was recovered while the activated sludge of the second activated sludge treatment device was added to the first activated sludge treatment device, and thereafter stable treatment performance was maintained.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used for treatment of wastewater generated by sewage treatment, human waste treatment, treatment of factory wastewater generated from food factories, paper pulp factories, chemical factories, and the like, and treatment of livestock waste such as livestock manure.
