The present invention will be further described in detail in combination with examples, but it is not limited to the following embodiments.
As shown in
The wastewater to be treated enters the bar screen 8, and then is subject to pre-filtering by bars in the bar screen 8 to separate large solid particles. This can relieve the downstream equipment of operating pressures and prevent large particles of impurities from blocking or damaging the equipment. The regulating tank 9 serves as a reservoir for storing water shortly, thereby regulating the water inlet pressure of the downstream equipment. Besides, the regulating tank 9 can be added with clean water as required to lower the impurity concentration. Macromolecules and most of organic matters in river water in the hydrolysis acidification tank 11 are decomposed to reduce COD partially. Preliminary biochemical treatment is carried out in the contact oxidation tank 12, with the effluent therefrom entering the MBR membrane tank 13 for advanced biochemical treatment. In this embodiment, the MBR membrane tank 13 is provided with bio-packings, on which a layer of biological film is attached. The biological film adsorbs and degrades the organic matter in the water, so that organic matters in the wastewater can be fully purified. Water filtered by the MBR membrane tank 13 is pumped by the drainage pump 15 into the clean water tank 17. Water in the clean water tank 17 can be supplied to the wetland structure.
During the construction of the wetland structure, the planting frames are installed in the planting area surrounded with several hoardings. Based on appearance requirements or terrain restrictions, the planting area surrounded by hoardings can be of different regular or irregular shapes, in which the planting frames are placed as basic units and can also form different shapes. The planting frame and the growing substrates therein can be prefabricated, so that they don't need to be fabricated on site. After being transported to the site, they can be put into use quickly and conveniently, thus ensuring a high construction efficiency.
The hoardings can be constructed above-ground or underground, to make the top surface of the hoardings higher, flush with, or lower than the ground level as required by design.
Water supplied by the clean water tank 17 can be accumulated in the planting area to simulate the ecological environment of the wetland, thus facilitating the normal growth of wetland plants. Alongside that, wetland plants can help purify rainwater and water supplied by the clean water tank 17, absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur thereof. The planting area can be connected to a water storage pool/tank to store the purified water, which can better save the water.
In the embodiment, the bar screen 8, the regulating tank 9, the hydrolysis acidification tank 11, the contact oxidation tank 12, the MBR membrane tank 13 and the clean water tank 17 are arranged underground. In this way, the system avoids occupying too much above-ground space and leaves the space for other structures and buildings, which is suitable for scenarios including gardens, green belts, zoos, botanical garden, communities, and commercial streets. The drainage pump 15 and the lift pump 10 can be connected to a controller for remote control.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the planting area is polygonal with a 90° corner thereof, and the planting frame is cuboid. This is to facilitate the bonding between the outer planting frames and the hoardings, so that the planting frames can be stably, neatly installed in the planting area, to achieve a higher space utilization therein. The planting frames also facilitate production in a unified way.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the planting frames in this embodiment comprise a hollow frame body and growing substrates arranged therein, wherein the frame body is a cuboid.
During construction, the growing substrates are put into the planting frame, the plants are implanted in the growing substrates, and a plurality of the planting frames are arranged in an array as required by design. As the planting frames are cuboid, the adjacent planting frames can be fitted together in case they need to be arranged densely, reducing or avoiding gaps therebetween, thereby improving the space utilization and the density of plants. Aside from that, the planting frames can be fitted tightly during transportation, to avoid collision between two adjacent planting frames, achieving a higher space utilization during transportation. This can improve the transportation efficiency of the planting frames.
In this embodiment, two opposite sides of the frame body are respectively provided with a vertically arranged protrusion, and the other two sides of the frame body are provided with grooves that can be fitted with the protrusions. Adjacent planting frames can be integrated by matching of the protrusions and grooves. This can improve the overall stability of the planting frames, so that the installed planting frames are not easily deformed by external force and the plants can be arranged neatly. In addition, the planting frames that are already installed can provide positioning reference for the adjacent planting frames, so that there is no need to draw lines repeatedly at the construction site, thus making construction easier and ensuring a higher construction efficiency.
In this embodiment, the protrusions and the corresponding grooves can be designed as T-shaped. In this way, after the adjacent planting frames are integrated by matching the protrusions and the grooves, the T-shaped structure can prevent the protrusions and the grooves from separating, thereby improving the connection strength of the adjacent planting frames.
The frame body is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions at its top surface, and a plurality of positioning grooves that can be fitted with the positioning protrusions at its bottom surface. To provide more growth space for plant roots, the planting frames can enlarge the volume by multi-layer superposition. The bottom of the bottom layer can be sealed or not, and that of the middle and top layers are not sealed, to ensure the communication with the bottom layer. Through the match between the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves, the multi-layer planting frames can be located and installed more quickly, and the relative movement of the upper and lower planting frames along the horizontal direction can be limited. In this way, the overall stability of the planting frame is improved.
In this embodiment, a plurality of vertically arranged locking sleeves are arranged on the inner surface of the frame body. When the upper and lower planting frames are positioned and installed, the locking sleeves thereon are exactly aligned. By inserting locking pins, locking nails and other structures, the upper and lower planting frames can be locked tightly, thereby preventing the upper and lower planting frames from moving relative to each other and staggering amidst the action of external force. This can improve the overall stability of the planting frame and ensure the normal growth of plants.
In this embodiment, the locking sleeve is arranged at the inner corner of the planting frame, and the adjacent inner surfaces of the planting frame are connected to each other. The connection between the locking sleeve and the inner surface of the planting frame enables the locking sleeve to support the inner surface of the planting frame, thus improving the strength of the planting frame itself, and preventing the planting frame from being squeezed and deformed.
A lifting ring is provided at the top surface of the frame body. With the lifting ring as a force-bearing point, it is convenient to lift up the planting frame, so that a single planting frame can be taken out during replacement or maintenance. Besides, the lifting ring can be attached to ropes, hooks and the like for remote operation.
In this embodiment, the lifting ring is connected to a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is connected to the frame body via threaded connection. When setting up multi-layer planting frames, the lifting ring shall be attached on the top planting frame. Lifting ring arranged between two layers of planting frames may result in unnecessary gaps therebetween.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the planting frame in the present embodiment is made of permeable materials. In this way, water can circulate among the planting frames, avoiding resulting in stagnant water and affecting the growth of plants. In the rainy season, this also facilitates the rapid circulation of excess water and avoids siltation in the planting area.
In this embodiment, a lifting ring is provided on the top surface of the planting frame, so that the planting frame can be easily lifted up and taken out by attaching hooks, ropes and the like to the lifting ring.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the growing substrates in this embodiment comprise plant growth substrates and microbial substrates. Microorganisms for purifying nitrogen, phosphorus and/or sulfur are arranged in the microbial substrates. The plant growth substrate provides plants with planting base, and the microorganisms cultivated by the microbial substrate help absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur, thus improving the processing efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur in the entire system, while providing some nutrients for plant growth.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the adjacent two planting areas in this embodiment are in communication with each other via pipelines. In this way, excess water can circulate between different planting areas, helping gather and store the rainwater collected in the planting areas. With different planting areas located at different altitudes, it is convenient to quickly drain the water in the higher planting areas to lower ones. A switch can be arranged on the pipelines to control the on-off thereof.
The hoardings are made of impermeable materials, thus enabling the planting area to store water and maintain wetland environment.
On the basis of the above embodiment, a reflux pipeline is connected between the MBR membrane tank 13 and the hydrolysis acidification tank 11. The reflux pipeline can re-deliver the water filtered by the MBR membrane tank 13 to the hydrolysis acidification tank 11 for multiple cycles of filtration. This helps fully filter impurities or pollutants in the water and ensures a higher quality of filtered water. A reflux pump can be arranged on the reflux pipeline to control the water flow. The reflux pump can be connected to a controller for remote control.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the MBR membrane tank 13 is connected to a sludge thickener 18, and a sludge pump is connected between the MBR membrane tank 13 and the sludge thickener 18. The sludge pump pumps the sludge from the MBR membrane tank 13 to the sludge thickener 18, to prevent the sludge from blocking the MBR membrane tank 13 and thus reducing its efficiency.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the MBR membrane tank 13 in this embodiment is connected to a dosing device 20. In this way, it is convenient to add the required agents to the MBR membrane tank 13 via the dosing device 20, thus ensuring the vitality of microorganisms in the MBR membrane tank 13 and the filtration efficiency thereof. In this embodiment, a dosing pump can be provided on the pipeline between the dosing device 20 and the MBR membrane tank 13 to control the efficiency of dosing. The dosing pump can be connected to a controller for remote control.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the drainage pump 15 in this embodiment is provided with a UV disinfector 19 at its outlet. The UV disinfector 19 can sterilize the clean water discharged from the drainage pump 15, thereby further improving the water quality.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the contact oxidation tank 12 in this embodiment is connected to a fan 21. With the fan 21, the contact oxidation tank 12 can be supplied with fresh air, to supplement the oxygen required by the contact oxidation tank 12, while providing a certain cooling effect.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the drainage pump 15 in this embodiment is connected to a backwash pipeline 16. The drainage pump 15 pumps water into the system via the backwash pipeline 16, which can further clean the drainage pump 15 and pipelines in communication with it, so as to prevent structures including drainage pump 15 and the pipelines in communication with it from being blocked due to long-term use.
The other steps in the present embodiment are identical to those in the above-mentioned embodiments and will not be repeated herein.
The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not restricted thereto in any way. Any simple modification and equivalent alterations made to these embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
