Description
INFILTRATION/INFLOW CONTROL FOR MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a system and method for treating wastewater, and more particularly to a wastewater treatment system and method utilizing a membrane bioreactor.
2. Discussion of Related Art
The importance of membrane for treatment of waste water is growing rapidly. With the arrival of submerged membrane processes where membrane modules are immersed in a large feed tank and filtrate is collected typically through suction applied to the filtrate side of the membrane, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) combining biological and physical processes in one stage promise to be more compact, efficient and economic. Membrane bioreactors are typically sized to accommodate community and large-scale sewage treatment. A need has been found for these systems to periodically handle large flows of influent caused by peak rain events during storms and the like.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
In accordance with one or more embodiments, the invention relates to a system and method of treating wastewater.
In one embodiment, a wastewater treatment system includes a first treatment zone fluidly connected to one or more further treatment zones. A membrane module comprising a filter membrane is positioned in or fluidly connected to the further treatment zone. A gravity settling device is fluidly connected to the first treatment zone to receive overflow therefrom.
Another embodiment is directed to a method of treating wastewater which includes flowing a wastewater through one or more treatment zones to produce a fluid
product which is passed through a filter membrane to produce a concentrated mixed liquor and a filtrate, returning at least a portion of the concentrated mixed liquor to at least one of said treatment zones, when the flow of wastewater water exceeds a predetermined level, flowing a portion of said returned mixed liquor to a gravity settling device and clarifying the mixed liquor within the gravity settling device.
Preferably, the process may use multiple reactors in series, with the ability to maintain different food to micro-organism ratios and different dissolved oxygen concentrations in each reactor. For preference, the sludge separated from the mixed liquor in the gravity settling device is returned to a reactor downstream of the reactor feeding the gravity settling device.

FIG. 2 illustrates a system in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawing. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of "including," "comprising," or "having," "containing," "involving," and variations thereof herein, is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.
This invention may be directed to wastewater treatment systems utilizing membrane bioreactors designed to treat wastewater flows as low as 25,000 gallons per day, or peak flows as high as about 100 million gallons per day (MGD) or greater. In one embodiment the wastewater treatment system is designed to treat an average flow of 12 MGD and a peak wastewater flow of about 30 MGD. It will be appreciated these flow volumes are merely exemplary and in no way intended to restrict the application of the invention which may be applied over a much wider range of flow.
"Wastewater," as used herein, defines a stream of waste from a residential or community source, having pollutants of biodegradable material, inorganic or organic compounds capable of being decomposed by bacteria, flowing into the wastewater treatment system. As used herein, a "wastewater treatment system" is a system, typically a biological treatment system, having a biomass population of bacterial microorganisms of a diversity of types of bacteria, used to digest biodegradable material. Notably, the biomass requires an environment that provides the proper conditions for growth.
One embodiment of the present invention includes bioreactor having one or more treatment zones. As used herein, the phrase "treatment zone" is used to denote an individual treatment region. Individual treatment regions may be housed in a single vessel with one or more compartments. Alternatively, individual treatment regions may be housed in separate vessels, wherein a different treatment is carried out in separate vessels. The treatment zone, i.e. the vessel or compartment, may be sized and shaped according to a desired application and volume of wastewater to be treated.
The wastewater treatment system may include a fluidizable media housed in a first treatment zone. The fluidizable media may comprise biomass carriers designed to immobilize anoxic organisms. The biomass carriers may be formed of any material suitable to support organisms and to remain fluidized under operating conditions. In one embodiment, the fluidizable media has a specific gravity substantially the same as that of water. In another embodiment the fluidizable media has a surface area adequate to allow denitrifying bacteria to grow, which may enhance the efficiency of the anoxic reaction to remove nitrogen.
Any volume of fluidizable media may be utilized within the first treatment zone for a particular purpose. For example, a maximum volume of fluidized media may be used to substantially fill the first treatment zone, or a lesser volume of fluidized material may be used to fill a portion of the first treatment zone.
According to one embodiment of the invention, one or more porous or permeable membranes may be used to treat fluid flow from treatment zones and in some embodiments may be positioned within a treatment zone. The membrane may have any configuration suitable for a particular purpose, such as sheet or hollow tube. The membrane may be formed of any material (natural or synthetic) suitable for a particular filtration process. In one embodiment, the membrane is formed of polymeric hollow fibers.
One or more membranes may be positioned in one or more membrane modules. The membrane modules may have any shape and cross sectional area suitable for use in a desired application, for example, square, rectangular, or cylindrical. In one embodiment, the membrane modules are rectangular.
According to one embodiment, one or more membrane modules may be positioned in a treatment zone in such a way as to be completely submerged by fluid during operation. For example, the membrane module may be positioned vertically, horizontally, or at an angle within the second treatment zone. Multiple membrane modules may be positioned adjacent one another, or located at predetermined positions within the second treatment zone and may, but need not, be positioned in the same plane as others or parallel to one another. In one embodiment, hollow fiber membranes may be positioned horizontally within the treatment zone. One or more membrane modules may be mounted directly to the vessel or compartment which forms a treatment zone. Alternatively, one or more membrane modules may be mounted to a module support which may be removably attached to the vessel or compartment forming the treatment zone. In one embodiment, a plurality of membrane modules are mounted to a module support rack to facilitate membrane maintenance and/or replacement. In another embodiment, membrane modules having vertical partitions may be positioned horizontally.
The treatment zone may include an aeration system to suspend solids in wastewater or resultant concentrated mixed liquor contained within the second treatment zone, and/or to assist water transfer through the membrane. The aeration system may produce fine bubbles, coarse bubbles, a jet stream of gas, a jet of gas and fluid, and combinations thereof. The aeration system may be positioned in any suitable location within the treatment zone. In one embodiment, aeration may be provided along a length of one or more membrane modules horizontally positioned.
According to another embodiment, the wastewater treatment system may include one or more pretreatment units, such as to collect solids and/or to remove phosphorous. In one embodiment the pretreatment unit is a trap to remove floating solids, such as grease, and other gross organic solids until they become more soluble, and is positioned upstream of the first treatment zone. The trap may be sized to provide a volume of about 1 x FF (1 forward feed). In another embodiment, the pretreatment unit is a chemical phosphorous removal unit.
According to another embodiment, the wastewater treatment system may further include an equalization tank and/or a reserve storage tank fluidly connected to the bioreactor. The tank may be sized to accommodate fluctuations in wastewater generation to normalize flow into the bioreactor. For example, the equalization capacity may be equal to about 8 hours or about 33% of the FF. The same tank may also be sized to provide reserve capacity for an emergency such as a power failure, and may have a reserve capacity of about 16 hours or about 67% of the FF. In one embodiment, the tank is sized to provide a volume of about 1 x FF to provide for equalization and a reserve.
Referring to the Fig. 1 there is illustrated one embodiment of the present wastewater treatment system. The figure shows a bioreactor 10 comprising a number of treatment tanks 11 to 14 connected in series with the same or different environments maintained in each tank and a membrane filter 16 connected thereto. The tanks are fluidly coupled in series to each other. Possible environments in the tanks could include anaerobic, anoxic, aerated anoxic, or aerobic depending on the effluent water quality requirements for each specific application. A clarifier 15 is fluidly connected to
tanks 11 and 12 by fluid inflow line 17 and fluid outflow line 18. A fluid feedback line 19 is provided from the feed side of the membrane filter 16 to tanks 11 and 12. Wastewater is fed into the bioreactor 10 through influent line 20. Effluent is withdrawn from the bioreactor 10 through effluent line 21 coupled to the filtrate side of the membrane filter 16. Clarifier effluent is flowed from the clarifier 15 through clarifier effluent line 22.
In one mode of operation, during average inflow conditions, the inflow to tank 11 is the average design flow rate Q and all flow is directed through the treatment tanks to the membrane filter 16. A portion of the mixed liquor, typically a flow equal to around 2 to 8 times the average design flow, Q, is returned to treatment tank 11. In this mode of operation no overflow is provided to clarifier 15 from tank 11 and there is no feedback of mixed liquor to tank 12.
In a second mode of operation, during wet weather or high inflow conditions, a portion of the mixed liquor flow (typically a flow equal to around 1 to 4 times the average design flow, Q) into tank 11 is diverted to the clarifier 15 through inflow line 17 with the remainder flowing from tank 11 to tank 12. The mixed liquor feedback from the membrane filter 16 to tank 11 is also reduced (typically to about 0.5 to 2 times the average design flow, Q) by diverting a portion of the flow to tank 12. The flow from tank 11 into the clarifier 15 is selected to allow reliable gravity settling of solids material within the clarifier 15.
Activated sludge is returned from the clarifier 15 through outflow line 18 to tank 12 (typically a flow equal to about 0.25 to 1 times the average design flow, Q). Clarified effluent is withdrawn from the clarifier 15 through clarifier effluent line 22.
Referring to Fig. 2 by way of example only, there is illustrated another embodiment of the present wastewater treatment system in the form of a bioreactor 25. It will be appreciated that this embodiment functions similarly to the embodiment disclosed in Fig. 1, although a fluid feedback line 26 is now provided from the feed side of the membrane filter 16 to tank 12 and a pump 27 with associated feedback lines 28 and 29 interconnecting tanks 11 and 12 for providing feedback therebetween. In this
embodiment the speed of the pump can control the rate of feedback from treatment tank 12 to treatment tank 1, and is used to control the concentration of mixed liquor in tank 11 such that reliable gravity settling of solids material within the clarifier 15 can be achieved. It will be appreciated that, referring Fig. 1, this is an alternative to splitting the fluid feedback line 19 between reactors 11 and 12.
It is often advantageous to include a means of automated control. By way of example, an automated control process can include:
1) Splitting Effluent flow from one or more initial treatment tanks, whereby part of the flow is diverted to the clarifiers 18 and the remainder is treated by the membrane filter 16.
2) Splitting eedback flow provided from the feed side of the membrane filter 16, whereby part of the flow is diverted to upstream treatment tanks that feed the clarifiers 15 and the remainder is sent to downstream treatment tanks that flow to the membrane filter 16.
In an embodiment, by way of example only, effluent flow from one or more initial treatment tanks is split, whereby part of the flow is diverted to the clarifiers 18 and the remainder is treated by a membrane filter 16. It will be appreciated that the flow to the membranes is typically controlled by pumps, and is based on the liquid level in the furthest upstream treatment tank. It will be further appreciated that flow to the clarifiers can be regulated by a weir in the furthest upstream treatment tank. In this example, if the influent flow rate exceeds the rate that the membranes can handle, the liquid level in the treatment tank will rise and liquid will start to flow over the weir and travel to the clarifiers. The weir can be a fixed weir. Preferably the weir is either manually adjustable, or automatically adjustable based on an influent flow meter signal or other process measurement. It will be further appreciated that, in another embodiments, the flow split between the clarifiers and the membranes can be regulated using valves, gates, or other suitable devices known to a person skilled in the art.
In another embodiment, flow to the membrane tanks is caused by gravity and a return stream back to the treatment tanks uses a pump. This embodiment requires a
means for restricting the flow to the membrane tanks and thereby to back the liquid up into the upstream treatment tanks where it can be directed to the clarifiers. It would be appreciated that a means for restricting the flow to the membrane tanks can include an adjustable weir, gate, valve or other suitable devices known to a person skilled in the art.
In an embodiment, by way of example, feedback flow provided from the feed side of the membrane filter 16 is split whereby part of the flow is diverted to upstream treatment tanks that feed the clarifiers 15 and the remainder is sent to downstream treatment tanks that flow to the membrane filter 16. For example, influent flow rate and the flow rate being treated by the membranes can be measured, and the proportion of the total flow being treated by the clarifiers can be calculated. By way of example, the desired percentage of the fluid feedback provided from the feed side of the membrane filter to be sent to the clarifiers can be calculated by a programmable logic controller (PLC) using a mass balance equation. For example, this flow split can be calculated for substantially maintaining a target MLSS concentration in the stream being sent to the clarifiers. It would be appreciated that the mass balance equation can be a function of at least four variables, being the average TSS concentration in the mixed liquor (user input or as measured with TSS probes), the desired target concentration in the upstream treatment tanks (which may or may not be verified with a TSS probe), the influent flow to the plant, and the percentage of that flow being treated by the final clarifiers.
Accordingly, the invention provides an efficient means of dealing with large inflows without compromising the operation of the membrane bioreactor.
