Description

  The present invention relates to a belt type concentrator used for concentrating surplus sludge, mixed raw sludge, digested sludge, oxidation ditch surplus sludge, factory wastewater sludge and the like generated in a sewage treatment plant.

  Conventionally, the operation adjustment of the belt type concentrator is performed by changing the aggregating device, the belt traveling speed, and the ramp (tilt plate) angle. These operations are performed manually while observing the operation status of the concentrated sludge, filtrate, etc. that the operator discharges from the belt type concentrator.

  This has the following drawbacks. Confirmation of the operation status by visual observation of concentrated sludge and filtrate often involves a sense based on the experience of the operator, and requires skill of the operator. Since it is not constantly monitored, response to changes in driving conditions is delayed. In addition, manual operation adjustment frequently requires an operator to go around the belt type concentrator, resulting in an increase in operating cost and a worsening working environment. There are also problems such as an increase in the amount of medicine injected due to a poor set value of the aggregating device and a reduction in belt life due to an excessively high belt speed. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, the supply sludge concentration is constantly measured with a thermometer, and the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixing valve) is automatically adjusted in accordance with the change in the supply sludge concentration. Specifically, when the sludge concentration becomes high, the opening degree is reduced to increase the stirring force. Conversely, when the sludge concentration is low, the opening is increased.

  The agglomeration device (mixing valve) uses a motor-driven valve to adjust the opening degree electrically.

  There is also a method in which a line mixer is used instead of the mixing valve, and the stirring force is adjusted by the number of rotations of the line mixer. The supply sludge concentration is measured using a laser light type, microwave type, scattered light type concentration meter.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, the supplied sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the belt running speed is automatically adjusted according to the change in the supplied sludge concentration.

  Specifically, when the supply sludge concentration becomes high, the belt traveling speed is increased to lower the solid load per unit filtration area. Conversely, when the sludge concentration becomes low, the belt running speed is reduced.

  There is a method of automatically changing the inverter frequency of the drive motor to change the belt running speed.

  In the third aspect of the present invention, the supplied sludge concentration is constantly measured with a thermometer, and the angle of the ramp (tilt plate) is automatically adjusted according to the change in the supplied sludge concentration. Specifically, when the sludge concentration becomes high, the ramp angle is reduced to weaken the concentration effect. Conversely, when the sludge concentration is low, the ramp angle is increased.

  There is a method of changing the ramp angle by moving the tip of the ramp up and down with an electrically driven bolt, air cylinder, and hydraulic cylinder.

  In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the concentrated sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixing valve) is automatically adjusted according to the change in the concentrated sludge concentration. Specifically, when the concentration of concentrated sludge becomes high, the opening degree is increased to weaken the stirring force. Conversely, when the concentrated sludge concentration is low, the opening is reduced.

  Concentrated sludge concentration is measured using a viscosity method, laser beam method, microwave method, scattered light method, or the like. In addition, when using a concentrated sludge hopper and transferring the concentrated sludge by L and H operation of the concentrated sludge transfer pump, there is also a method of calculating the concentrated sludge concentration by a preset calculation function from the operation and stop time of the concentrated sludge pump. . The method for changing the belt running speed is the same as described above.

  In the fifth aspect of the present invention, the concentrated sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the belt running speed is automatically adjusted according to the change in the concentrated sludge concentration. Specifically, when the concentrated sludge concentration becomes high, the belt traveling speed is increased to lower the concentrated sludge concentration. Conversely, when the concentrated sludge concentration becomes low, the belt running speed is reduced.

  In the sixth aspect of the present invention, the concentrated sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the ramp angle is automatically adjusted according to the change in the concentrated sludge concentration. Specifically, when the concentrated sludge concentration becomes high, the ramp angle is reduced to lower the concentrated sludge concentration. Conversely, when the concentrated sludge concentration is low, the ramp angle is increased. The method for changing the ramp angle is the same as described above.

  The seventh aspect of the present invention constantly measures the filtrate concentration, and automatically adjusts the opening degree of the aggregating device (the rotation speed of the mixer) in accordance with the change in the filtrate concentration. Instead of the filtrate concentration, the SS recovery rate can be calculated and used by the control device from three concentration measurement values of the filtrate concentration, the supply sludge concentration, and the concentrated sludge concentration. Specifically, when the filtrate concentration becomes high (when the SS recovery rate becomes low), the opening degree is increased (the rotation speed of the mixer is decreased) to prevent destruction of the aggregation floc by the aggregating apparatus. The method for changing the opening of the aggregating device (the number of rotations of the mixer) is the same as described above.

  For the measurement of the filtrate concentration, a scattered light type or transmitted light type concentration meter is used. The method for adjusting the opening of the aggregating device (orifice) is the same as described above, and there is also a method using a line mixer.

  In the eighth aspect of the present invention, the filtrate concentration is constantly measured, and the belt running speed is automatically adjusted according to the change in the filtrate concentration. Specifically, when the filtrate concentration becomes high (when the SS recovery rate becomes low), the belt running speed is increased to lower the solid load per unit filtration area. The method for changing the belt running speed is the same as described above.

  In the ninth aspect of the present invention, the filtrate concentration is constantly measured, and the ramp angle is automatically adjusted according to the change in the filtrate concentration. Specifically, when the filtrate concentration becomes high (when the SS recovery rate becomes low), the ramp angle is reduced to lower the filtrate concentration. The method for changing the ramp angle is the same as described above.

  In the tenth aspect of the present invention, level sensors H and HH are provided on the belt, and the sludge on the belt is controlled so as not to exceed H. That is, when the level becomes H or higher, the belt running speed is increased. When the level becomes HH, the operation of the belt type concentrator is stopped and an alarm is sounded. An electrode type is used for the level. The method for changing the belt running speed is the same as described above.

  In the eleventh aspect of the present invention, level sensors H and HH are provided on the belt, and the sludge on the belt is controlled so as not to exceed H. When the level becomes H or higher, the lamp angle is reduced. When the level becomes HH, the operation of the belt type concentrator is stopped and an alarm is sounded. An electrode type is used for the level. The method for changing the ramp angle is the same as described above.

  The first to eleventh controls of the above invention may be performed individually or in combination. Priorities are determined for each control, and when the control is such that the opening or rotation speed of the aggregating device, the running speed of the belt, and the ramp (tilt plate) angle are operated in different directions, the control with higher priority is performed. . In some cases, each control is weighted to determine the direction and degree of control.

  The supply sludge concentration, concentrated sludge concentration and filtrate concentration are constantly measured during operation of the belt type concentrator, and each operation factor is automatically adjusted, so there is no part depending on the operator's sense, and the operator's skill level Is not required. Stable operation can be performed because constant operation adjustment is performed in response to changes in the operation status. Operators go around the belt-type concentrator only for patrol monitoring, which reduces operating costs and improves the working environment for operators. In addition, the operation cost can be reduced by preventing an increase in the amount of chemical injection and shortening the belt life.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, in the apparatus of this embodiment, the supplied sludge is supplied to the aggregating apparatus 2, and the agglomerated sludge conditioned in the aggregating apparatus 2 is once retained in the aggregating tank 3 on the supply side, Via the supply chute 4, it is sent onto a traveling belt 1a (filtration belt), gravity filtered on the belt, scraped off from the end of the belt on the discharge side by the scraper 10, and discharged from the outlet 1a as concentrated sludge. This is a belt type concentrator configured as described above.

  When the power of the electric motor M is transmitted to the driving roller 6, the roller 6 rotates and the belt 1a travels in the direction of the arrow. As the belt 1a travels, the driven roller 5 rotates. While the belt type concentrator 1 is in operation, the rollers 5 and 6 always rotate and the belt 1a travels. The filtered wave transmitted through the belt 1a is discharged through the outlet 1c. Before returning to the supply side, the belt 1a is washed with water ejected from the nozzle of the washing water pipe 8 and enters the next cycle. The washed water after washing is discharged through the outlet 1d. The wash water may be recycled to the supply sludge side.

  The supplied sludge reacts with the polymer flocculant (polymer) in the aggregating apparatus 2 shown in FIG. The aggregating device 2 is provided with a butterfly-shaped valve body 11 in a tubular mixing chamber, and a plurality of introduction pipes 2a for a polymer flocculant (polymer) at the inlet of the mixing chamber, and the position of the valve body 11 is adjusted. Thus, the passage area in the aggregating apparatus 2 is changed, the stirring force is changed, and the degree of aggregation is adjusted. When the screw 2 b is adjusted, the minimum angle of the valve body 11 is set, and the angle is maintained by the fixing weight 13 supported by the lever 12. In this structure, when the supply pressure (or flow rate) increases rapidly, the valve body 11 is automatically opened against the weight 13 to reduce the pressure. The smaller the valve opening, the greater the stirring action and the higher the cohesion. If the degree of aggregation increases, the concentration of concentrated sludge increases. On the other hand, if the opening of the valve becomes too small, the agitation becomes too large and the aggregated floc is destroyed and the concentration of concentrated sludge is reduced. In the example of FIG. 2, as the means for adjusting the opening, a method of adjusting the opening of the valve by the valve drive motor 18 as shown in FIG. 5 and a valve body as shown in FIG. 6 as a simpler structure. 11 is configured as a plate that goes in and out of the flow path, and a method of adjusting the opening of the valve by moving the valve body 11 up and down by the valve drive motor 18 is possible.

  As another method, there is a method in which the aggregating apparatus 2 is a line mixer instead of the valve mechanism, and the degree of aggregation is adjusted by the number of rotations. The larger the number of revolutions, the greater the stirring action, the higher the degree of aggregation, and the higher the concentrated sludge concentration.

  A plurality of plow mechanisms 7 having a plow are arranged on the belt in a row in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the belt 1a, and the plow mechanisms 7 in each row are provided with several blows. It works to increase the filtration efficiency on the belt by spreading the sludge layer with a plow.

  The belt 1a travels at a variable speed of, for example, 8 to 40 m / min, depending on the structure as a filter medium. Concentrated sludge concentration changes by changing the running speed of the belt. If the traveling speed increases, the concentration of concentrated sludge decreases.

  A ramp (inclined plate) 9 is disposed close to the end of the belt 1a on the discharge side. Concentrated sludge is discharged beyond the lamp 9, but when the lamp 9 prevents the concentrated sludge from being discharged, the filtration through the belt 1a proceeds and the concentrated sludge concentration increases. The ramp angle (the angle with respect to the running surface of the belt 1a) is variable, and the concentrated sludge concentration can be adjusted by changing the ramp angle. As the ramp angle increases, the concentrated sludge concentration increases.

  Referring to FIG. 3, which is an embodiment provided with a control means for concentrated sludge concentration and filtrate concentration (SS recovery rate) of the present invention, the concentration of the supplied sludge to be treated is measured at the inlet of the supplied sludge aggregating apparatus 2. The supply sludge concentration meter 14, the chute or tank 1e disposed at the concentrated sludge outlet 1b of the belt type concentrator 1, the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 for measuring the concentrated sludge, and the chute or tank 1f disposed at the filtrate outlet 1c. A filtrate concentration meter 16 for measuring the concentration of the filtrate is installed. The concentration signal measured by each densitometer is sent to the control device 17, and the opening of the aggregating device 2 from the control device 17 (in the case of a line mixer, the number of rotations of the mixer), the belt 1a, depending on the difference from each preset concentration. The operation command for operating the traveling speed and the angle of the ramp (inclined plate) 9 is issued.

  Although the operating status of the belt type concentrator changes depending on the supply sludge concentration, the operating status is improved by automatically adjusting the valve opening of the agglomeration device (rotation speed of the mixer), belt running speed, and ramp angle. Can be maintained.

  Automatically adjusts the amount of chemical injection according to the change in the measured value of the supply sludge concentration meter 14 so that the pre-set chemical injection rate (the ratio of the polymer flocculant to the amount of solid sludge solids) is obtained. It is also possible to use a proportional drug injection method that changes proportionally.

The SS recovery rate (SS = sludge solid content) is calculated from the measured values of the supplied sludge concentration meter 14, the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15, and the filtrate concentration meter 16 using a control device, and the SS recovery rate = concentrated sludge concentration s [%. ] (Feed sludge concentration f [%]-filtrate concentration e [%]) / feed sludge concentration f [%] (concentrated sludge concentration s [%]-filtrate concentration e [%]) x 100 Is possible. If only the sign is used,
SS recovery rate = 100 × [s (f−e)] / [f (s−e)]%
It is.

  In the first method of the present invention, the supplied sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixing valve) is automatically adjusted according to the change in the supplied sludge concentration. Specifically, when the sludge concentration becomes high, the opening degree is reduced to increase the stirring force. Conversely, when the sludge concentration is low, the opening is increased. For example, when the operation is performed at an ideal concentrated sludge concentration of 4%, the supply sludge concentration increases, and when the concentrated sludge concentration is about 4%, the signal from the supply sludge concentration meter 14 The controller 17 detects an increase in the supply sludge concentration and issues an operation command to reduce the angle of the valve body of the agglomeration device (increase the rotation speed of the mixer) as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. To keep the concentrated sludge concentration at 4%. Conversely, when the supply sludge concentration decreases and the concentrated sludge concentration tries to fall below 4%, the angle of the valve body is increased (the rotation speed of the mixer is decreased) to prevent the destruction of the floc flocs, and the concentrated sludge concentration is reduced. Keep at 4%.

  FIG. 16 shows a control method for carrying out this method. As a premise, the control device repeats the measurement, comparison and control of the concentration at three locations and the sludge level on the belt at regular time intervals by the timing pulse from the time counter.

  In FIG. 16, there is an appropriate concentration range for the supplied sludge concentration. If the coagulation degree is appropriate even outside this range, the concentrated sludge concentration of 4% is obtained. First, if the supply sludge concentration is larger than the upper limit of the appropriate range (YES), the opening degree of the aggregating device (valve) is decreased, and if the opening degree is larger than the lower limit (NO), the decrease in the opening degree is repeated in steps. Set sludge to agglomerate in an appropriate state (loop 1). Conversely, if the supply sludge concentration is less than the lower limit of the appropriate range (YES), the opening degree is increased, and if the opening degree is larger than the upper limit (NO), the increase of the opening degree is repeated stepwise to properly aggregate the supplied sludge. State (loop 2). If the supplied sludge concentration is neither of these (i.e., within the proper range), it returns directly to the starting point (loop 3) and repeats the determination and control.

  Since the second to ninth embodiments of the present invention can be configured in the same manner as the embodiment of FIG. 16, a detailed control flow diagram will not be described, but a basic control method will be described below.

  In the second method of the present invention, when the control device 17 detects a decrease in the supplied sludge concentration from the signal from the supplied sludge concentration meter 14, the belt traveling speed shown in FIG. Thus, the concentrated sludge concentration can be maintained at 4%.

  Further, in the third method of the present invention, the concentrated sludge concentration is maintained at 4% by increasing the angle of the lamp 9 shown in FIG. 3 by the operation command from the control device 17 by the signal from the supply sludge concentration meter 14. be able to.

  In the fourth method of the present invention, the opening degree of the aggregating device (valve) is automatically adjusted according to the change in the concentrated sludge concentration measured by the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15.

  When the concentrated sludge densitometer 15 is used as a sensor for detecting changes in operating conditions, when the measured value of the concentrated sludge densitometer is lower than the set value, the opening degree of the aggregating device is reduced (in the case of a mixer, the rotation is reduced). There are cases of increasing the number) and increasing the number (decreasing the number of revolutions in the case of a mixer). In the sludge aggregation, if the stirring force by the aggregating device 2 is excessively increased, the aggregate floc is destroyed, and if it is too small, the aggregation is poor. Therefore, there is an optimum point where the stirring force is not too large and not too small. In this case, in the feedback control, an operation that changes to a predetermined upper limit in order to search for the optimum point is incorporated, and if it is not appropriate, an operation that changes toward the lower limit is incorporated. The appropriate range is determined by the concentrated sludge concentration.

  In the fifth method of the present invention, when the signal from the concentrated sludge densitometer 15 becomes lower than the set value, the controller 17 issues an operation command to slow down the running speed of the belt 1a shown in FIG. In some cases, control is performed to keep the density at a set value. When the concentrated sludge concentration becomes high, the reverse operation command is issued.

  In the sixth method of the present invention, when the signal from the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 becomes lower than the set value, an operation command for increasing the angle of the ramp (tilt plate) 9 is output from the control device as shown in FIG. In some cases, control is performed to keep the concentrated sludge concentration at a set value. When the concentrated sludge concentration becomes high, the reverse operation command is issued.

  In the seventh method of the present invention, when the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter 16 becomes higher than the set value, the interval between the valves of the aggregating device 2 is reduced (increases the number of rotations of the mixer) and becomes larger (smaller). ). Like the control based on the concentrated sludge concentration, this feedback control incorporates an operation that changes to a predetermined upper limit in order to search for the optimum point, and changes to the lower limit if it is not appropriate. When the calculated value of the SS recovery rate by the control device is used instead of the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter, the same control is performed when the calculated value of the SS recovery rate becomes lower than the set value. The appropriate range in this case is judged by the filtrate concentration or SS recovery rate.

  In the eighth method of the present invention, when the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter 16 becomes higher than the set value, the filtrate can also be increased by increasing the traveling speed of the belt 1a shown in FIG. The concentration can be reduced. When the calculated value of the SS recovery rate by the control device is used instead of the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter, the same control is performed when the calculated value of the SS recovery rate becomes lower than the set value.

  In the ninth method of the present invention, when the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter 16 becomes higher than the set value, the angle of the ramp (tilt plate) 9 shown in FIG. But the filtrate concentration can be reduced. When the calculated value of the SS recovery rate by the control device is used instead of the measured value of the filtrate concentration meter, the same control is performed when the calculated value of the SS recovery rate becomes lower than the set value.

  In the tenth method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, level sensors 19 and 20 may be provided on the belt as sensors for detecting changes in driving conditions. Two levels, high level H19 and ultra-high level HH20, are used for level detection. When the progress of filtration through the belt is good, the sludge level on the belt is low, and when the progress of filtration is poor, the sludge level on the belt is high.

  Therefore, the quality of the driving situation can be determined by the sludge level on the belt. Always detect the sludge level with the level sensor and keep the sludge level in good condition. For example, if the sludge level sensor 19 detects the high level H, an operation command is issued from the control device 17, and the sludge level is lowered by increasing the belt traveling speed. If the level sensor 20 detects the ultra high level HH, the operation of the belt type concentrator is stopped and an alarm is sounded.

  A specific control method of the tenth method is shown in FIG. In this figure, if the measured height value is larger than HH, the operation is stopped and an alarm is sounded. If it is between H and HH, the belt speed is increased toward the upper limit of the speed (loop 1). If the height drops below H on the way, the process proceeds to loop 2. If this condition is satisfied from the beginning, the process returns from loop 2 to the beginning, and determination and control are repeated. If the belt speed exceeds the upper limit, alarm or change the control type.

  As an eleventh method of the present invention, when the high level H is detected, the sludge level is lowered by reducing the ramp (tilt plate) angle in accordance with an operation command from the control device 17. If an extremely high level HH is detected, the operation of the belt type Hakone is stopped and an alarm is sounded.

  When control is performed in combination with signals from the supplied sludge concentration meter 14, the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15, the filtrate concentration meter 16, and the sludge level meters 19 and 20 on the belt, the operation is as follows. Table 1 shows the classification of each signal. The reference value of the supplied sludge concentration is determined in advance such as 0.6 to 0.7% based on the actual measurement value. The set value of the concentrated sludge concentration is determined in advance, for example, in the range of 4.0 to 4.2% in consideration of the operation of the subsequent process. The filtrate concentration is good in the low range, and the SS recovery rate is good in the high range. For example, the filtrate concentration is 0.3% or less, the SS recovery rate is 95% or more, and the filtrate concentration is more than 0.3% and the SS recovery rate is less than 95.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 15, there are eight operation commands that are output from the control device by combining each measurement signal.

  That is, among the combinations of the supplied sludge concentration C1, the concentrated sludge concentration C2, the filtrate concentration C3 (SS recovery rate), and the sludge height H on the belt, the supplied sludge concentration satisfies the standard value (generally has a range). If so, control may be performed by changing C2 and C3, and C1 defines C2 and C3 to some extent. Cases 1 to 8 determine the level of each of the three measured concentrations using a comparison circuit, and determine which case corresponds to the combination of these three types of levels (described below) to the AND gate. do it.

  Case 1 shown in FIG. 8 is a case where the supply sludge concentration is low, the concentrated sludge concentration is low, and the filtrate concentration is low (SS recovery rate is high), and the opening degree of the flocculation device (mixing valve) is increased stepwise (mixer) Reduce the number of revolutions). If the situation of case 1 is not improved even if it is changed to the upper limit (lower limit), the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixer rotation speed) is set to the optimum point therein, and when the sludge level on the belt does not exceed H, The angle of the ramp (tilt plate) is increased stepwise. When the ramp inclination angle reaches the upper limit, the belt traveling speed is decreased stepwise.

  If the situation of case 1 is not improved even if the belt running speed is lowered to the lower limit, the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 3.8 to 4.0%. If the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 3.6 to Change to 3.8%. The lower limit value of the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the lower limit value. When the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low) or the sludge level on the belt exceeds H during this control, the operation of the ramp and belt running speed is stopped and the operation proceeds to the operation of lowering the set concentrated sludge concentration.

  FIG. 18 shows a flow of determination and control that embodies Case 1 shown in FIG. However, as the set values, the above-mentioned supply sludge concentration is low (for example, less than 0.6 to 0.7%), the concentrated sludge concentration is low (for example, less than 4.0 to 4.2%), and the filtrate concentration is low (high SS recovery rate). (For example, less than 0.3% (SS recovery rate exceeds 95%)).

  In FIG. 18, when the supply sludge concentration is lower than the lower limit (YES), less than the concentrated sludge concentration set value (YES), and less than the filtrate concentration set value (YES) (SS recovery rate set value upper limit exceeded (YES)), Increases the opening. When the opening degree upper limit is not exceeded (NO), loop 1 is repeated. When the opening degree upper limit is exceeded (YES), the opening degree of the aggregating device is returned to the reference value, and when the sludge level on the belt is not more than H (NO), the ramp angle is increased. When the ramp angle is less than the upper limit (YES), the loop 2 is repeated. When the ramp angle is not less than the upper limit (NO), if the sludge level on the belt is not higher than H (NO), the belt speed is decreased. If the belt speed exceeds the lower limit (YES), loop 3 is repeated. If the belt speed does not exceed the lower limit (NO), the concentrated sludge concentration set value is decreased. If the concentrated sludge concentration set value exceeds the lower limit (YES), the process returns to the beginning in loop 4 and the same control is repeated. If the concentrated sludge concentration set value is not above the lower limit (NO), the device is stopped and an alarm is issued.

  It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the examples described below can be easily designed as described above.

  Case 2 shown in FIG. 9 is a case where the supply sludge concentration is low, the concentrated sludge concentration is low, and the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low), and the opening degree of the flocculation device is increased stepwise (the mixer rotation speed is reduced). ) When the situation of case 1 is not improved even if the upper limit (lower limit) is changed, the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixer rotation speed) is returned to the reference value, and the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise as described above.

  Case 3 shown in FIG. 10 is a case where the supply sludge concentration is high, the concentrated sludge concentration is low, and the filtrate concentration is low (SS recovery rate is high). ) When the situation of case 1 is not improved even if it is changed to the lower limit (upper limit), the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixer rotation speed) returns to the reference value, and when the sludge level on the belt does not exceed H, the ramp (inclined plate) ) Increase the angle step by step. When the ramp inclination angle reaches the upper limit, the belt traveling speed is decreased stepwise.

  If the situation of case 1 is not improved even if the belt running speed is lowered to the lower limit, the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 3.8 to 4.0%. If the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 3.6 to Change to 3.8%. The lower limit value of the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the lower limit value. When the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low) or the sludge level on the belt exceeds H during this control, the operation of the ramp and belt running speed is stopped and the operation proceeds to the operation of lowering the set concentrated sludge concentration.

  Case 4 shown in FIG. 11 is a case where the supply sludge concentration is high, the concentrated sludge concentration is low, and the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low), and the opening degree of the coagulation device is decreased stepwise (increasing the mixer rotation speed). To do. When the situation in Case 4 is not improved even when the value is changed to the lower limit (upper limit), the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixer rotation speed) is returned to the reference value, and the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise as described above.

  Case 5 shown in FIG. 12 is a case where the concentrated sludge concentration is low and the filtrate concentration is low (SS recovery rate is high). When the sludge level on the belt does not exceed H, the angle of the ramp (inclined plate) is stepped. Make it bigger. When the ramp inclination angle reaches the upper limit, the belt traveling speed is decreased stepwise. If the situation of case 1 is not improved even if the belt running speed is lowered to the lower limit, the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 3.8 to 4.0%. If the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 3.6 to Change to 3.8%. The lower limit value of the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the lower limit value. When the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low) or the sludge level on the belt exceeds H during this control, the operation of the ramp and belt running speed is stopped and the operation proceeds to the operation of lowering the set concentrated sludge concentration.

  Case 6 shown in FIG. 13 is a case where the concentrated sludge concentration is low and the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low), and the set concentrated sludge concentration is lowered stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 3.8 to 4.0%, and when the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 3.6 to Change to 3.8%. The lower limit value of the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the lower limit value.

  Case 7 shown in FIG. 14 is a case where the concentrated sludge concentration is high and the filtrate concentration is low (SS recovery rate is high), and the angle of the ramp (inclined plate) is reduced stepwise. When the ramp inclination angle reaches the lower limit, the running speed of the belt is increased stepwise. When the situation of case 7 is not improved even if the belt traveling speed is increased to the upper limit, the set concentrated sludge concentration is increased stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 4.2 to 4.4%. If the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 4.4 to Change to 4.6%. An upper limit value for the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the upper limit value.

  Case 8 shown in FIG. 15 is a case where the concentrated sludge concentration is high and the filtrate concentration is high (SS recovery rate is low), and the angle of the ramp (inclined plate) is reduced stepwise. When the ramp inclination angle reaches the lower limit, the running speed of the belt is increased stepwise. If the situation of case 8 is not improved even if the belt traveling speed is increased to the upper limit, and if the filtrate concentration high (SS recovery rate low) is not improved, an alarm is sounded to inform the operator. When the high filtrate concentration (low SS recovery rate) is improved and the high concentrated sludge concentration is not improved, the set concentrated sludge concentration is increased stepwise. For example, when the current set value is 4.0 to 4.2%, the set value is changed to 4.2 to 4.4%. If the concentrated sludge concentration still does not reach the set value, the set value is set to 4.4 to Change to 4.6%. An upper limit value for the set value is determined in advance, and an alarm is sounded to notify the operator when the set value reaches the upper limit value.

  As described above, an electrically driven bolt, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like can be used as means for changing the angle of the ramp 9. Here, an example in which a cylinder mechanism is used as means for changing the angle of the ramp 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. First, the lamp 9 is composed of, for example, a metal plate 91 such as stainless steel and a resin plate 92 having a tapered cross section formed of fluorine resin or the like. The metal plate 91 is supported by a bar member 93, and a pair of connecting members 94 </ b> A and 94 </ b> B are provided at both ends of the bar member 93. Further, the connecting members 94A and 94B are rotatably connected with cylindrical members 95A and 95B provided on the side walls of the apparatus as rotation axes. Therefore, the ramp 9 can arbitrarily change the inclination angle θ with the rotation of the connecting members 94A and 94B. Reference numeral 96 in FIG. 20 denotes a side wall for preventing sludge from falling from both sides of the traveling belt 1a, and is omitted in the other drawings for convenience of drawing.

  Further, rod members 98A and 98B passing through arcuate guide grooves 97 formed on the side walls of the apparatus are connected to the other ends of the connecting members 94A and 94B. And the motor cylinder mechanism 100 which is an angle change means is connected to one (98A) of a bar member. The motor cylinder mechanism 100 includes a motor 101 that can be braked halfway and a cylinder 102 that is extended by the motor 101. Then, the control device 17 refers to the sludge concentration value measured by the sludge concentration meter 15 every predetermined time, and the cylinder 102 is extended according to the referred concentration value, and the inclination angle θ of the lamp 9 is changed stepwise. Can be controlled.

  By configuring the angle changing means of the lamp 9 as described above, the angle of the lamp 9 can be automatically changed without depending on the operator.

  Finally, the installation location of the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 is not limited to the tank 1e. As shown in FIG. 21, a measuring tank 110 for concentration measurement is provided separately from the tank 1e, and the concentrated sludge is removed from the tank 1e. The concentration can be measured by sampling. In the example shown in FIG. 21, a configuration using a viscosity-type concentration meter as the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 is described.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 21, the measurement tank 110 for concentration measurement is connected to the tank 1 e through a pipe, and the concentrated sludge for measurement is continuously supplied to the measurement tank 110, and continuously by the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15. In this configuration, the concentration is measured. The concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 detects a detection body 111 formed of a disk-shaped rotating disk, a drive motor 112 for rotating the detection body 111 around the rotation axis in the concentrated sludge, and a current value of the drive motor 112 to detect, for example, It is the structure provided with the converter 113 which converts into the electrical signal of 4-20mA, and the calculator 114 which calculates sludge density | concentration based on the electrical signal from the converter 113, and utilizes the difference in viscosity corresponding to each density | concentration To calculate the concentration.

  More specifically, correlation information (for example, a correlation equation or a database) that associates the sludge concentration with a current value (actually an electrical signal from the converter) when the detection body 111 is rotated at a predetermined number of rotations. Is obtained by performing a test in advance, and the information is stored in storage means such as a memory of the arithmetic unit 114, and sludge is obtained by referring to the correlation based on the electric signal sent from the converter 113 in the actual apparatus. This is a configuration for calculating the density. The converter 113 may detect the torque value of the drive motor 112 instead of the current value.

  If a viscometer densitometer as described above is employed, and a concentration meter is not installed directly in the tank 1e, but a measurement tank 110 for concentration measurement is separately installed, measurement error can be reduced. Resistance due to sludge flow that can be a cause can be suppressed, and thereby it is possible to reliably measure the concentration of sludge concentrated to 4% or more continuously and accurately.

  Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined based on the claims and equivalents thereof.

Technical field [0001]
The present invention relates to a belt type concentrator used for concentrating surplus sludge, mixed raw sludge, digested sludge, oxidation ditch surplus sludge, factory wastewater sludge and the like generated in a sewage treatment plant.
Background art [0002]
Conventionally, the operation adjustment of the belt type concentrator is performed by changing the aggregating device, the belt traveling speed, and the ramp (tilt plate) angle. These operations are performed manually while observing the operation status of the concentrated sludge, filtrate, etc. that the operator discharges from the belt type concentrator.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention [0003]
This has the following drawbacks. Confirmation of the operation status by visual observation of concentrated sludge and filtrate often involves a sense based on the experience of the operator, and requires skill of the operator. Since it is not constantly monitored, response to changes in driving conditions is delayed. In addition, manual operation adjustment frequently requires an operator to go around the belt type concentrator, resulting in an increase in operating cost and a worsening working environment. There are also problems such as an increase in the amount of medicine injected due to a poor set value of the aggregating device and a reduction in belt life due to an excessively high belt speed. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.
Means for Solving the Problems [0004]
In the first aspect of the present invention, the supply sludge concentration is constantly measured with a densitometer, and the opening degree of the aggregating device (mixing valve) is automatically adjusted in accordance with the change in the supply sludge concentration. Specifically, when the sludge concentration becomes high, the opening degree is reduced to increase the stirring force. Conversely, when the sludge concentration is low, the opening is increased.
[0005]
The agglomeration device (mixing valve) uses a motor-driven valve to adjust the opening degree electrically.
[0006]
There is also a method in which a line mixer is used instead of the mixing valve, and the stirring force is adjusted by the number of rotations of the line mixer. Supply sludge concentration is measured by laser beam, microwave,

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0025]
Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, in the apparatus of this embodiment, the supplied sludge is supplied to the aggregating apparatus 2, and the agglomerated sludge conditioned in the aggregating apparatus 2 is once retained in the aggregating tank 3 on the supply side. Via the supply chute 4, it is sent onto a traveling belt 1a (filtration belt), gravity filtered on the belt, scraped off from the end of the belt on the discharge side by the scraper 10, and discharged from the outlet 1a as concentrated sludge. This is a belt type concentrator configured as described above.
[0026]
When the power of the electric motor M is transmitted to the driving roller 6, the roller 6 rotates and the belt 1a travels in the direction of the arrow. As the belt 1a travels, the driven roller 5 rotates. While the belt type concentrator 1 is in operation, the rollers 5 and 6 always rotate and the belt 1a travels. The filtrate that has passed through the belt 1a is discharged through the outlet 1c. Before returning to the supply side, the belt 1a is washed with water ejected from the nozzle of the washing water pipe 8 and enters the next cycle. The washed water after washing is discharged through the outlet 1d. The wash water may be recycled to the supply sludge side.
[0027]
The supplied sludge reacts with the polymer flocculant (polymer) in the aggregating apparatus 2 shown in FIG. The aggregating device 2 is provided with a butterfly-shaped valve body 11 in a tubular mixing chamber, and a plurality of introduction pipes 2a for a polymer flocculant (polymer) at the inlet of the mixing chamber, and the position of the valve body 11 is adjusted. Thus, the passage area in the aggregating apparatus 2 is changed, the stirring force is changed, and the degree of aggregation is adjusted. When the screw 2 b is adjusted, the minimum angle of the valve body 11 is set, and the angle is maintained by the fixing weight 13 supported by the lever 12. In this structure, when the supply pressure (or flow rate) increases rapidly, the valve body 11 is automatically opened against the weight 13 to reduce the pressure. Valve opening

[0006]
The smaller the value, the greater the stirring action and the higher the degree of aggregation. If the degree of aggregation increases, the concentration of concentrated sludge increases. On the other hand, if the opening of the valve becomes too small, the agitation becomes too large and the aggregated floc is destroyed and the concentration of concentrated sludge is reduced. In the example of FIG. 2, as the means for adjusting the opening, a method of adjusting the opening of the valve by the valve drive motor 18 as shown in FIG. 5 and a valve body as shown in FIG. 6 as a simpler structure. 11 is configured as a plate that goes in and out of the flow path, and a method of adjusting the opening of the valve by moving the valve body 11 up and down by the valve drive motor 18 is possible.
[0028]
As another method, there is a method in which the aggregating apparatus 2 is a line mixer instead of the valve mechanism, and the degree of aggregation is adjusted by the number of rotations. The larger the number of revolutions, the greater the stirring action, the higher the degree of aggregation, and the higher the concentrated sludge concentration.
[0029]
A plurality of plow mechanisms 7 having plows are arranged on the belt in a row perpendicular to the running direction of the belt 1a. Each plow mechanism 7 in each row is provided with several plows (鋤). It works to increase the filtration efficiency on the belt by spreading the sludge layer with a plow.
[0030]
The belt 1a travels at a variable speed of, for example, 8 to 40 m / min, depending on the structure as a filter medium. Concentrated sludge concentration changes by changing the running speed of the belt. If the traveling speed increases, the concentration of concentrated sludge decreases.
[0031]
A ramp (inclined plate) 9 is disposed close to the end of the belt 1a on the discharge side. Concentrated sludge is discharged beyond the lamp 9, but when the lamp 9 prevents the concentrated sludge from being discharged, the filtration through the belt 1a proceeds and the concentrated sludge concentration increases. The ramp angle (the angle with respect to the running surface of the belt 1a) is variable, and the concentrated sludge concentration can be adjusted by changing the ramp angle. As the ramp angle increases, the concentrated sludge concentration increases.
[0032]
Referring to FIG. 3, which is an embodiment provided with a control means for concentrated sludge concentration and filtrate concentration (SS recovery rate) of the present invention, the concentration of the supplied sludge to be treated is measured at the inlet of the supplied sludge aggregating apparatus 2. The supply sludge concentration meter 14, the chute or tank 1e disposed at the concentrated sludge outlet 1b of the belt type concentrator 1, the concentrated sludge concentration meter 15 for measuring concentrated sludge, and the chute or tank 1f disposed at the filtrate outlet 1c. A filtrate concentration meter 16 for measuring the concentration of the filtrate is installed. The concentration signal measured by each densitometer is sent to the control device 17, and the opening of the aggregating device 2 from the control device 17 (in the case of a line mixer, the number of rotations of the mixer), the belt 1a, depending on the difference from each preset concentration. Running speed, ramp (tilt) 9 angle
