[水処理装置]
以下、本発明の第一の態様の水処理方法に用いる水処理装置の一例について、図1に基づいて説明する。
活性汚泥処理槽11には、第一の流路12と第二の流路13とが接続している。第一の流路12は、工場や家庭等から排出された原水を活性汚泥処理槽11に流入させる流路である。一方、第二の流路13は、活性汚泥処理槽11から排出された汚泥含有処理水を膜分離槽21に流入させる流路である。
散気装置14は、空気を活性汚泥処理槽11内に散気する散気管14aと、散気管14aに空気を供給する導入管14bと、空気を送気するブロア14cとを備えている。
散気管14aとしては、ブロア14cから供給される空気を上方へ吐出できるものであれば特に限定されないが、例えば、穴あきの単管やメンブレンタイプのものが挙げられる。
膜分離槽21は、本発明の一態様を適用した膜分離活性汚泥装置100を備えている。
膜分離活性汚泥装置100については後述する。
汚泥返送手段30は、第四の流路31を備えている。第四の流路31は、汚泥含有処理水の一部を膜分離槽21から排出し、活性汚泥処理槽11に流入させる流路である。
第四の流路31には、ポンプ31aが設置されている。これにより、膜分離槽21内の汚泥含有処理水の一部を膜分離槽21から活性汚泥処理槽11に返送することができる。
図1に示すように、膜分離活性汚泥装置100(以下、「MBR装置100」と称することがある。)は、膜モジュール22と、膜モジュール22の下方に設けられたサイフォン式散気装置10と、を備えている。
分離膜としてモノリス型膜を用いる場合は、セラミック製の膜を用いることが好ましい。
第三の流路33には、ポンプ33aが設置されている。これにより、膜モジュール22の分離膜を透過した処理水を膜分離槽21から排出できるようになっている。
第二仕切壁4bは、底板1Cから底板1Cの上方に延びており、第一仕切壁4aの側板1B側に位置している。第一仕切壁4aと第二仕切壁4bとは互いに対向している。
なお、本明細書において、第一仕切壁4aは、請求の範囲における仕切壁に相当する。
R=(サイフォン室の容積(単位:m3))/(散気穴の平面視形状の面積(単位:m2))
通常、サイフォン式散気管1から発生する気泡によって、サイフォン室2の液面Lの高さは常時変動している。サイフォン室2の液面Lの高さが複数のサイフォン式散気管Dでそれぞれ異なる場合、液面Lの高さが第一仕切壁4aの下端4a1に達するまでの時間が異なる。例えば、サイフォン式散気管D1において、先に液面Lの高さが第一仕切壁4aの下端4a1に達すると、気泡20が発生する。一方、残りのサイフォン式散気管Dにおいて、気泡が少量しか発生しない、または、全く気泡が発生しないことがある。
気体供給口3が側板1Bの下端1B1よりも上方に設けられていることで、導入管1aが不必要に長くなるのを抑制し、低コスト化につながる。
なお、導入管に設けられた気体供給口は、複数設けられていてもよい。ただし、導入管に複数の気体供給口が設けられている場合には、複数の気体供給口のうち、鉛直方向最上位にある空気供給口が、サイフォン室と経路とを仕切る仕切壁の下端よりも下部になるように空気供給口が設けられる。また、複数の気体供給口のうち、少なくとも一つは、導入管の下端に設けられていることが好ましい。
[水処理装置]
以下、本発明第二の態様の水処理方法に用いる水処理装置の一例について、図8に基づいて説明する。
図8に示すように、本実施形態の水処理装置S1000は、活性汚泥処理槽S11と、活性汚泥処理槽S11の後段に設けられた膜分離槽S21と、膜分離槽S21の後段に設けられた処理水槽S41とを備えている。さらに、水処理装置S1000は、図示を省略するが、活性汚泥処理槽S11に流入する原水の流量を調整する流量調整槽、膜分離槽S21から余剰汚泥を引く抜く引抜ポンプ、膜分離槽S21に薬液や希釈水を送液する送液手段、および処理水槽S41から工場や河川等に処理水を放流する放流手段等を備えている。
活性汚泥処理槽S11には、第一の流路S12と第二の流路S13とが接続されている。第一の流路S12は、工場や家庭等から排出された原水を活性汚泥処理槽S11に流入させる流路である。第二の流路S13は、活性汚泥処理槽S11から排出された汚泥含有処理水(被処理水)を膜分離槽S21に流入させる流路である。
散気装置S14は、空気を活性汚泥処理槽S11内に散気する散気管S14aと、散気管S14aに空気を供給する導入管S14bと、空気を送気するブロアS14cとを備えている。
散気管S14aとしては、ブロアS14cから供給される空気を上方へ吐出できるものであれば特に限定されず、例えば、穴あきの単管やメンブレンタイプのものが挙げられる。
膜分離槽S21は、本発明の一態様を適用した膜分離活性汚泥装置S100(以下、「MBR装置S100」と称することがある。)を備えている。MBR装置S100については後述する。
汚泥返送手段S30は、第四の流路S31を備えている。第四の流路S31は、汚泥含有処理水の一部を膜分離槽S21から排出し、活性汚泥処理槽S11に流入させる流路である。
第四の流路S31には、ポンプS31aが設置されている。これにより、膜分離槽S21内の汚泥含有処理水の一部を膜分離槽S21から活性汚泥処理槽S11に返送することができる。
MBR装置S100は、複数の膜モジュールS22と、膜モジュールS22の下方に設けられたサイフォン式散気装置S10と、を備えている。
分離膜としてモノリス型膜を用いる場合は、セラミック製の膜を用いることが好ましい。
第三の流路S33には、ポンプS33aが設置されている。これにより、膜モジュールS22の分離膜を透過した処理水を膜分離槽S21から排出できるようになっている。
サイフォン式散気管S1においては、処理水流入部S7から散気穴S6へ向かう廃水の流れを想定したとき処理水流入部S7側を「上流」とし、散気穴S6側を「下流」とする。
R=(サイフォン室の容積(単位:m3))/(散気穴の平面視形状の面積(単位:m2))
各導入部S1aは、それぞれ空気供給口S3aから、各導入部S1aの下流側のサイフォン式散気管S1のサイフォン室S2に処理水流入部S7を通じて空気を供給するようになっている。
なお、側板部S1Cには、切欠部S54cの他に1つ以上の空気供給口が設けられていてもよい。ただし、切欠部S54cの他に1つ以上の空気供給口が設けられる場合には、切欠部S54cの他に設けられた空気供給口のうち、鉛直方向最上位にある空気供給口が、サイフォン室と経路とを仕切る仕切壁の下端よりも下部になるように設けられる。
なお、流路最小断面積とは、導入部の流路断面積が最小となる流路最小断面積部における断面積を意味する。
切欠部S54cの鉛直方向最上部は、第一仕切壁S4aの下端S4a1よりも下部に設けられている。また、切欠部S54cの鉛直方向最上部は、経路S4の最下端よりも上部に設けられていることが好ましい。
導入部S1dは、空気供給口S3bから、導入部S1dの下流側のサイフォン式散気管S1のサイフォン室S2に処理水流入部S7を通じて空気を供給するようになっている。
切欠部S58cの正面視形状および面積の好ましい態様は、切欠部S54cの好ましい態様と同じである。
作動開始前においては、図14(a)に示すように、サイフォン式散気管S1内におけるサイフォン室S2、連通部S5および経路S4は汚泥含有処理水SB(被処理水)で満たされている。空気供給手段S50におけるブロアS1bから分配管S1cに送気し、分配管S1cから各導入部S1a,S1dに分配した空気SAを空気供給口S3a,S3bから各サイフォン式散気管S1内のサイフォン室S2に連続的に供給する。空気供給口S3a,S3bから空気SAを供給し続けると、図14(b)に示すように、サイフォン室S2内の汚泥含有処理水SBが散気穴S6や処理水流入部S7から押し出されて、サイフォン室S2の液面SSが次第に降下する。
また、サイフォン式散気管S201Yやサイフォン式散気管S201Zのいずれかの散気のタイミングが早い場合も、散気のタイミングが遅れたサイフォン式散気管において、同様の機構で放出される気泡が小さくなったり、気泡が放出されなかったりする。
サイフォン式散気装置S10Aの上記した部分以外の態様は、サイフォン式散気装置S10の態様と同様である。
サイフォン式散気装置S10Bは、水平方向に6個ずつが平行して二列に並んで配置された合計12個のサイフォン式散気管S1と、それら各サイフォン式散気管S1に空気を供給する空気供給手段S50Bとを備えている。
各導入部S1aの下側筒部S54では、列の長さ方向において、それぞれの列で位置が対応している2つのサイフォン式散気管S1の側板部S1Cの互いに近い側の端部を繋ぐ2つの側板部S54dが設けられている。また、各列において、隣り合う2つのサイフォン式散気管S1の対向する2枚の側板部S1Cの分配管S1cから遠い側の端部同士を繋ぐ2つの側板部S54aが設けられている。各導入部S1aの下側筒部S54は、導入部S1aの周囲に配された4つのサイフォン式散気管S1の導入部S1a側の側板部S1Cと、2枚の側板部S54dと、2枚の側板部S54aとにより四角筒状になっている。また、各導入部S1aの下側筒部S54が、各列において隣り合うサイフォン式散気管S1の間を上下方向に延びるように設けられている。
サイフォン式散気装置S10Bの上記した部分以外の態様は、サイフォン式散気装置S10の態様と同様である。
また、導入部の端部に切欠部が形成されておらず、空気供給口が切欠部を含まないサイフォン式散気装置であってもよい。
以下、本発明の第一の態様および第二の態様に係る水処理方法の一例として、前記した水処理装置S1000を用いた水処理方法について説明する。本発明の水処理方法は、水処理装置S1000に代えて、水処理装置1000を用いて行うこともできる。本発明の水処理方法は、活性汚泥を用いて原水を活性汚泥処理する活性汚泥処理工程と、活性汚泥処理工程で得られた汚泥含有処理水を膜分離する膜分離工程と、を有している。
水処理装置S1000による水処理方法では、工場や家庭等から排出された工業廃水や生活廃水等の廃水(原水)を第一の流路S12を通じて活性汚泥処理槽S11に流入させ、活性汚泥処理槽S11で活性汚泥処理し、生物処理水とする。処理後の汚泥含有処理水(被処理水)は、第二の流路S13を通じて膜分離槽S21に流入させる。
膜分離槽S21では、MBR装置S100の膜モジュールS22により、活性汚泥および生物処理水を含む汚泥含有処理水(被処理水)を膜分離処理する。膜分離処理中においては、サイフォン式散気装置S10により曝気を行う。
サイフォン式散気装置S10においては、定期的に導入部S1a内に水を注入して汚泥閉塞を抑制することが好ましい。
図7に例示したサイフォン式散気装置10と同様の構成のサイフォン式散気装置を作成した。サイフォン式散気装置10は、三つのサイフォン式散気管1を備えている。サイフォン式散気装置10において、三つのサイフォン式散気管1は全て同じ形状であり、外寸で200mm×200mm×70mmの筐体である。また、サイフォン式散気管1が有するサイフォン室2の容積は、1170mlであった。さらに、サイフォン式散気管1が有する散気穴6の平面視形状は矩形であった。散気穴6の平面視形状の面積は19cm2であり、その平面視形状の長手方向の長さは19cmであった。図7に示す各サイフォン式散気管1において、下式に基づいて算出される比Rは0.62であった。
R=(サイフォン室の容積(単位:m3))/(散気穴の平面視形状の面積(単位:m2))
図7に示す各サイフォン式散気管1が有する気体供給口3の位置を、第一仕切壁4aの下端4a1よりも上方にしたこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして行い、気泡が発生するか検討した。
図16に例示したサイフォン式散気装置S10Aと同様の構成のサイフォン式散気装置を作製した。該サイフォン式散気装置は、6つのサイフォン式散気管が全て同じ形状であり、各サイフォン式散気管は外寸で高さ200mm×長さ162mm×幅70mmの筐体とした。サイフォン式散気管のサイフォン室の容積は973ml、散気穴の平面視形状の面積は15cm2とした。内径20mm(断面積314mm2)の分配管から、流路最小断面積50mm2の導入部(流路最小断面積部以外の断面積1800mm2)に空気を供給し、図13と同様の形状の切欠部(幅20mm)を介してサイフォン室に空気を供給した。なお、流路最小断面積部は、導入部におけるサイフォン式散気管の上板部と同じ位置に設けた。
サイフォン式散気管の数が6つである以外は図19に例示したサイフォン式散気装置S210と同様の構成のサイフォン散気装置を用い、分配管から6つのサイフォン式散気管の上方に直接空気を供給する以外は、実施例S1と同様にして空気を連続供給して6つのサイフォン式散気管から気泡が発生する様子を目視で確認した。
実施例S3においては、水槽底面の勾配によって各サイフォン式散気管に分配される空気量にバラツキが生じることがあるものの、他のサイフォン式散気管からの空気放出に影響されることなく、全てのサイフォン式散気管から気泡が放出された。
実施例S4においては、15/1000の水槽底面の勾配であっても、他のサイフォン式散気管からの空気放出に影響されることなく、全てのサイフォン式散気管から気泡が放出された。
