Abstract

Sedimentation is the major and very important unit operation in wastewater treatments. The efficiency of sedimentation will be influenced by the particle size distribution. The present method to analysis the particle size distribution in wastewater is typically using the laser particle counter. It is unable to offer the on-line monitoring for real-time control. An image detection system and digital image recognition technical was setup in this study to measure the particle size distribution in wastewater. Real wastewater samples were used in the tests. The digital image analysis was developed to recognize the particles in the detected image. The results of this study show that the particle size with the equivalent diameter (ED) ranging form 20 to 40μm. The measured results of the digit image analysis method were found very similar to the results by laser particle counter, indicating that the digital image analysis method can be a replacement of the other methods. The method providing an on-line particle setting evaluation has the potential for on-line processes control.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more particularly to a system and a method for monitoring the particle size distribution of suspended particles in wastewater. / / [Prior Art] According to the tap water and wastewater treatment process, the sedimentation process is an indispensable procedure - the process of chemical coagulation or wastewater biological treatment in tap water, ultimately requiring gravity The solid-liquid separation is carried out in a sinking manner to sufficiently separate the liquid from the solid. Usually, the sedimentation effect is easily affected by the sedimentation of the particles, and the sedimentation of the particles has a considerable relationship with the particle size of the particles. - The suspended particles are present in the liquid, and the sedimentation velocity is affected by Newton's law of motion. The structure and size will determine the sedimentation effect of the county floating particles in the water. Therefore, the particle size distribution of water + particles is often one of the important indicators for evaluating the solid-liquid separation of precipitation. The method used to analyze the pinch distribution of suspended particles is to use particle splitting method to analyze particle size, transmission electron microscope, laser scanning confocal microscope and irregular size analysis and f-particle size analyzer. A commonly used method is a laser particle size analyzer. The above several methods generally have the following shortcomings; (1), the existing particles of the suspended particles are easy to be or can not be provided as a continuous line 6 200837341 monitoring (on-llne m〇nit〇ring): particle size of the sedimentation tank, The characteristics such as specific gravity change with the previous procedure (biological aeration tank or fast mixing tank, etc.). Monitoring the distribution of particle size will understand and assist the control of this procedure (such as controlling SRT or dosing or fast/slow mixing conditions). ), can also assist in the control of the sedimentation tank (such as overflow rate or residence time); (2), the existing particle size analysis equipment for suspended particles is mostly quite expensive: in the most common laser particle size analyzer, The price cannot be widely applied to the tap water or sewage treatment plant, and the value of the granules should be reduced to a considerable extent. (3) The particle size analysis equipment of some existing suspended particles has a limitation on the range of the measured particle size: In the most commonly used laser particle size analyzers, 'larger particle size often blocks the pipe diameter, making the maintenance of the equipment difficult. (4) The laser particle size analyzer cannot provide parameters on the Morphology. special , The area comprising the particle diameter, shape and the eccentricity (iv) to provide the sub-m particle settling characteristics. In addition, there is also a microscopic (micr〇scope) and image capturing device (such as CCD) to take images of suspended particles in wastewater for particle size analysis. This method is used for particle shape measurement. 'It is more convenient than traditional measurement methods and provides more information about the shape of the particles', but it still has its shortcomings, such as: (1), generally adopting the penetration type ^ source's easy to cause interference in the judgment of particles in the image; (2), general display Micro-brothers can provide a limited magnification, which cannot be applied to the measurement of a wide range of particle sizes' (3). If continuous monitoring is required, it is inconvenient to modify the observation platform of the target. 200837341 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for solving the particle size distribution of suspended particles in the monitoring waste water, which is simple and inexpensive, and can be continuously analyzed on-line.
