Abstract

PURPOSE:To make effective use of energy by drying a cake obtd. by dehydrating initially settled sludge by the heat retained by the discharge air from an aerating blower to form solid fuel and using such fuel as a heat source for the cake of the excess sludge. CONSTITUTION:The initially settled sludge 7 is dehydrated to the cake 9 by a dehydrator 8 and the cake is dried by the discharge air 13 from the aerating blower 12 of an aeration tank 3 in a dryer 10 by which the cake is made into solid fuel. The fuel is used as a heat source for drying or incineration of the dehydrated cake 18 of the excessive activated sludge 5. Effective use of energy is thus made and manpower is lessened.

Conventionally, organic sludge generated in the treatment of human waste, sewage, and other organic sewage has been mechanically dehydrated by adding various dehydration aids such as cationic polymers, but the moisture content of the dehydrated cake is still high, making it particularly difficult. In the case of dewaterable sludge, the moisture content of the dehydrated cake is often as high as 80%. Therefore, since it is difficult to dispose of such dehydrated cake as it is, it is often dried and incinerated.1. Drying and incineration require a large amount of valuable fuel, which poses a major problem from the standpoint of energy conservation.

One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking the application to sewage treatment as an example. Sewage 1 is first led to a settling tank 2, where suspended solids that tend to settle are separated by sedimentation, and then an aeration tank 3 It is aerated and biologically treated. Aeration tank 3
The biologically treated sewage is further separated by sedimentation in the final settling tank 4, and a part of the obtained sludge is used as surplus activated sludge 5.
The other part becomes return sludge 6 which is returned to the aeration tank 3.

Conventionally, the surplus activated sludge 5 was often treated by being mixed with the first settled sludge 7 that was precipitated and separated in the first settling tank 2, but in the present invention, the surplus activated sludge 5 and the first settled sludge 7 are separated separately. Dehydration is the first important point.

That is, according to the inventor's experiments, when the initial settling sludge 7 is dehydrated using a dehydrator 8 such as a screw press, it is possible to dehydrate it without adding a dehydration aid such as a cationic polymer, and the dehydration rate is 60 to 65%. However, when surplus activated sludge 5 is mixed with initial settling sludge 7, it becomes extremely difficult to perform chemical-free dewatering even with a screw press. A phenomenon was observed.

In this way, the initial settling sludge 7 is dehydrated separately from the surplus activated sludge 5, but taking into consideration that chemical-free dewatering may become difficult due to changes in the properties of the initial settling sludge 7, Silted sludge 7
By adding organic powder A such as pulp slurry, screen dregs, rice husks, and sawdust, which are made by dissociating waste paper with a hyperpulper, stable chemical-free dehydration can be performed at all times. The calorific value will also be 10,000. As for the addition rate of this waste paper, it is sufficient to add about 20% (weight %) to the amount of solids in the initial settling sludge 7.

The dehydrated cake 9 of the first settled sludge 7, which has been dehydrated to a low water content without chemical injection by the dehydrator 8, is fed into the ventilation dryer 10 to form a packed bed 11, which is used in the biological treatment process of sewage. The discharge air 13 of the aeration blower 12 that supplies aeration air to the aeration tank 3 is blown into the packed bed 11 in an upward flow for drying, while the outflow air 14 from the aeration dryer 10 is aerated. Air is diffused into tank 3 and used as aeration air. Since the discharge air 13 of the aeration blower 9 has a temperature of about 70°C due to adiabatic compression, this retained heat allows the dehydrated cake 9 of the initial settling sludge 7 with a low moisture content to be produced without using fuel such as heavy oil. dried.

When drying the dehydrated cake 9, it is advantageous to granulate the dehydrated cake 9 to a particle size of about 10 mm using an extrusion granulator or the like and then feed it into the ventilation dryer IO because good air permeability is ensured. Moreover, it is effective to form a vertically elongated packed layer, for example, with a layer thickness of 50 to 70 degrees, in the ventilation dryer 10.

In addition, if you try to dehydrate mixed sludge (referred to as mixed raw sludge) of excess activated sludge 5 and initial settling sludge 7, it is extremely difficult to dewater without chemical injection using any type of dehydrator, and the resultant dehydrated cake will contain less water. The rate of discharge air 13 of the aeration blower 12 is high.
It was confirmed that the amount of heat retained in the drying process was significantly insufficient compared to the amount of heat required for drying, making it impossible to obtain a dried product with a satisfactory low moisture content.

In this case, the dewatering aid 16 such as a cationic polymer is added only to the surplus activated sludge 5, and the ratio of the amount of surplus activated sludge 5 and initial settling sludge 7 generated in a general sewage treatment process is 4.
:10, the required amount of dewatering aid 16 is reduced by about 70% compared to when dewatering mixed raw sludge, resulting in a large resource saving effect.
