Definitions

  • This invention relates to a biological aerated filter, and the use thereof in the treatment of liquid waste.
  • the invention is particularly but not exclusively concerned with sewage treatment, and means for improving the quality of effluent from a sewage treatment works, reducing the capital cost of such works and reducing the size of the footprint of the plant.
  • crude sewage is first screened to remove trash, wood, large rags etc. It is then passed to a primary sedimentation tank where suspended solids are allowed to gradually settle and are removed in the form of a liquid raw sludge.
  • the raw sludge is passed to a sludge digestion plant and the digested sludge is subsequently dried. Effluent from the primary tank is subjected to a secondary treatment.
  • a commonly used form of secondary treatment is a so-called "biological filter".
  • the microorganisms break down noxious substances in the effluent.
  • Effluent from the biological filter is passed to a humus tank where settlement is again allowed to take place.
  • Nitrification conversion of ammonia to nitrates
  • Settled sludge from the humus tank is returned to the primary sedimentation tank.
  • Effluent from the humus tank is discharged to a water course. Disinfection of the final effluent is increasingly called for, prior to discharge.
  • Such basic processes are described in "An Introduction to Sewage Treatment", published by the Institute of Water Pollution Control, 1987.
  • Another problem faced by sewage treatment plants is the variability of the incoming crude sewage.
  • the volume and concentration of incoming crude sewage can vary depending on weather conditions and seasonal variations. For example, in holiday resorts, it is desirable to be able to provide increased capacity for sewage works to cope with seasonal increases in the load, without the need for expensive civil engineering work to increase the hydraulic and biological capacity of the works. It is also desirable that the additional capacity required to cope with seasonal load variations can be brought up to optional efficiency quickly.
  • a biological aerated filter is a biological filter including means for introducing additional air into the effluent under treatment. It generally comprises a self-supporting matrix, for example corrugated layers of plastic material, such as rigid PVC, which provides a large surface area as a support for microbial biomass. Alternatively, it may contain random fill media, again with a large surface area, which can be plastic mouldings or mineral chips.
  • the matrix is contained in a treatment tank, and air diffusers are provided beneath the matrix, to enable a constant stream of air bubbles to be blown through the liquid waste in and around the solid media.
  • Such biological aerated filters are versatile and rugged, producing good quality effluent and at a lower cost than conventional biological filters.
  • biological aerated filters can be constructed as movable modular units, they are quite expensive to construct and not easily movable. Furthermore, the degree of aeration of the solid media may not be sufficient in regions which are not immediately above the air diffusers.
  • the performance from existing designs is hampered by the physical constraints of the depths of the biological filter, the difficulty of servicing filters in deep tanks or shafts, and the inability to use air for biological degradation efficiently because of wastage due to the need to achieve scouring velocities with the inflowing air.
  • a more recent design of biological aerated filter makes use of columns or tubes as a housing in which to pack the biological matrix.
  • An air diffuser is fitted in a housing at the base of the column or tube.
  • a disadvantage of such a construction is that "dead" (i.e. non-aerated) regions at the periphery of the matrix can result if the diffuser is of a smaller size than the matrix, and suspended solids can be deposited as sludge around and below the air diffuser.
  • the present invention provides a solution to these problems.
  • a biological aerated filter comprising a hollow upright cylindrical tube, a packing in said tube of solid support media providing a large surface area for supporting microbial biomass, an inlet to and an outlet from the tube for passage of liquid waste to be treated in said tube, and an air diffuser having a flexible multi-perforated membrane at the base of the tube, whereby in use a stream of air bubbles is passed upwardly from the air diffuser through liquid in the tube, characterised in that the membrane of the air diffuser is sealed to the lower part of the tube so as to prevent solids passing around and below the air diffuser.
  • the membrane of the air diffuser is mounted between a lower plate with a hole for air supply and a perforated upper plate, the upper plate being sealed to the base of the tube.
  • a sludge drain may be positioned at the base of the tube.
  • the solid support media may be mounted on a perforated plate which is seated on a circumferential ledge inside the tube near the bottom end.
  • the upper plate prefferably has at least one hole into which the air diffuser membrane can extend in use, and a further hole outside the periphery of the membrane for an inlet or outlet connection to the interior of the tube.
  • the outlet of the tube may be connected to an internal riser tube which extends internally up at least part of the height of the main tube.
  • the main tube may be joined to a base portion, housing the air diffuser, which is of larger diameter than that of the biological column, thus allowing a diffuser with a larger diameter than the biological column to be used. This ensures that all of the biological media is aerated and that there are no "dead" zones which may cause sludge to be deposited in the biological media.
  • the main tube may be joined by a circumferential flange to a corresponding flange on a lower, shorter column which can be of equal or larger diameter and which is closed at its base.
  • the shorter column is free of biomass and is used as a housing for the air diffuser, which is fitted between the flanges on the respective columns.
  • the multi-perforated flexible membrane of the air diffuser may be supported on its underside by a disc, containing a hole for air supply preferably fitted with a non-return valve, and optionally on its upper side by a disc with cut outs to allow the membrane to inflate and diffuse air.
  • the non-return valve in the lower disc allows air to pass from the underside of the disc to the upper side where it partly inflates the membrane and then diffuses through the multiple perforations to emerge as a stream of air bubbles.
  • the upper disc restricts the movement of the flexible membrane and provides support to prevent premature rupture. However, it may sometimes not be necessary, depending on the size of the membrane and other factors.
  • the filter media may be suspended on a perforated support plate within the tube. Alternatively, it may be suspended in a mesh net.
  • the mesh may, for example, have 50 mm square holes, or even larger, depending on the size of the random media used.
  • the mesh is inserted into the tube and hung from the top, or from supports within the tube. This obviates the need for a support plate across the bottom of the tube, and enables all of the base area of the random fill media to be aerated. This arrangement helps to avoid trapping of solids within the tube which can occur on a ledge or lip at the bottom of the tube for mounting a support plate.

  • An air diffuser 4 is mounted at the top of the lower column 3.
  • Random filter media 5 is packed inside the tube 1, and supported by a perforated plate (not shown) near the bottom of the tube 1. Alternatively, the filter media may be suspended in a mesh net which may be hung at the top around the upper rim of the tube 1, or from supports within the tube 1.
  • a waste water inlet 6 enters into the tube 1 near its lower end, and a corresponding outlet 7 is arranged near the top of the tube 1.
  • a sludge drain 8 is arranged near the bottom of the tube l.
  • An air inlet 9 passes into the side of the lower column 3.
  • the air diffuser comprises a lower plate with a central hole communicating with the air inlet 9.

  • the active diameter of the membrane of the diffuser i.e. that part which is exposed through the opening in the upper plate, is the same as or slightly greater than the internal diameter of the tube 1.
  • the membrane of the air diffuser is thus effectively sealed to the lower end of the tube 1. This ensures complete aeration of the biological filter media 5 without any dead spots, and also prevents suspended solids from passing around and below the air diffuser.

  • the membrane is effectively sealed to the lower part of the main tube 20. This ensures effective aeration across the entire internal cross section of the biological filter media 26, and solids in suspension in the liquid waste are prevented from passing around and below the air diffuser.
  • the main tube 40 has a lower inlet or outlet 41, and an upper outlet or inlet 42.

  • the perforated membrane of the air diffuser 67 is fitted between the plates 63 and 66.
  • the plate 66 has a main opening to expose most of the upper surface of the membrane. There is a side opening in each of the plates 63 and 66 which communicate to form an inlet or outlet 68 to or from the interior of the tube 60.

  • An internal riser tube 85 communicates from the bottom of the interior of the main tube 80 and with the outlet 82. The upward passage of bubbles of air from the air diffuser helps to entrain the flow of suspended solids through the riser tube and out from the outlet 82. This assists in the prevention of build-up of sludge in the main tube 80.

In this arrangement, a media support plate and corresponding internal ledges are not necessary, thereby substantially reducing potential build up of deposited solids.
  • Colonies of microorganisms form as biomass on the media and break down noxious elements in the effluent with the assistance of air supplied from the air diffuser.
