Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sewage purification apparatus using a buoyant filter medium, particularly a large buoyant filter medium having a diameter of several cm to several centimeters, for purifying a large-scale capacity, for example, for purifying river water.
- the present invention relates to an improvement of a sewage purification device suitable for the wastewater treatment.
- a sewage purification system that uses a large filter medium is a filter tank that contains a large number of buoyant filter media in a septic tank and forms a filter bed, which is a collection of filter media, and this filter bed contains aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria for purification treatment.
- the bacterium proliferates, and the sewage gradually flows from the upstream to the downstream of the septic tank while coming into contact with the filter medium of the filter bed, so that the wastewater can be gradually treated.
- pre-purification is rather complicated.
- pre-cleaning cannot merely prevent the clogging itself, because it can only delay the progress of clogging, and in the end, it is a very difficult task to remove the filter media. Cleaning or replacement must be performed regularly.
- the present invention has been made on the background of such a conventional situation, so that the treated water that is being purified by passing through the filter bed is not adversely affected.
- the objective is to provide a sewage purification device that effectively prevents clogging of filter media and always enables efficient purification.
- a large number of buoyant filter media are accommodated in a septic tank to form a filter bed, which is a collection of filter media, and the sewage flows down from the upstream side of the septic tank to the downstream side to contact the filter bed.
- a means for moving the filter media from the most downstream part to the most upstream part of the septic tank is provided, and a vortex is formed in the most upstream part of the septic tank.
- a first water flow forming means and a second water flow forming means for forming a direct stream and the filter medium taken out of the filter bed at the most downstream part of the septic tank is moved to the most upstream part of the septic tank by the moving means.
- This is achieved by a filter medium circulation type sewage purification apparatus in which the filter medium moved to the uppermost stream is returned to the filter bed from the bottom of the filter bed by a vortex by the first water stream forming means and a direct stream by the second water stream forming means.
- This device can effectively prevent clogging if the filter media is constantly moving, but simply moving the filter media randomly causes the sludge that separates from the filter media to diffuse into the septic tank with this random movement. It is based on the knowledge that purification efficiency is reduced.
- the apparatus effectively prevents the filter medium from being clogged and enables always efficient purification.
- the filter media is circulated by continuous repetition of taking out the filter media from the most downstream portion and returning the media to the filter bed at the most upstream portion, and at the same time, the filter bed moves as if the glacier moves. Flows gently like this, effectively preventing filter media from clogging. Further, when the filter medium returns to the filter bed at the uppermost stream portion, the filter medium performs a rotary motion on the vortex generated by the first water flow forming means, so that the filter medium can be efficiently washed by the rotary motion.
- the movement of the filter media that separates the sludge is essentially limited to the uppermost stream of the septic tank, that is, the portion of the raw water that has not been treated yet and that has no adverse effect even if the sludge is separated from the filter media. Therefore, the reduction of purification efficiency due to diffusion of separated sludge can be avoided.
- a more rational design is possible if a water stream is used as a means of moving the filter media. That is, a circulation path is attached to the septic tank, a water flow communicating with the inside of the purification tank is formed from the most downstream part to the most upstream part in the circulation path, and the filter medium is moved on the water flow in the circulation path. Then, it is possible to more effectively and efficiently take out the filter medium from the filter bed, and it is also possible to reduce failure elements of the moving means.
- a separating means is provided in the circulation path, and the separation means can separate sludge from the filter medium. By doing so, the effect of the sludge separating from the filter medium on the treated water can be further reduced, and the purification efficiency of the wastewater can be further increased.
- a vortex formed there can be used.
- Such a separation means has an extremely simple structure but is efficient.
- the septic tank may have a folded structure in which the upstream end and the downstream end are adjacent to each other. Such a folded structure can improve the installation space efficiency in the case of a long septic tank.
- a conveyor having a driving force can be used as the moving means.

- the filter medium A is preferably a sphere having a diameter of about 10 cm, preferably 10 to 12 cm, and formed of a large number of frames so as to obtain a larger surface area.
- the spherical filter medium disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 1344302 (patent publication No. 24440 of 1986) is most suitable.
- the septic tank 2 is an elongated rectangular parallelepiped with a size of, for example, 6 Om in length and 3 Om in width, and is provided with a sewage inlet 5 at the upper part of the side wall 2 a on the upstream side and a partition on the downstream side.
- a purified water discharge pit 7 formed by partitioning the corners with a plate 6 is provided. Then, the sewage flowing from the sewage inlet 5 flows gently toward the downstream side while coming into contact with the filter bed B, during which it undergoes purification treatment by the filter bed B, and becomes treated water at the downstream side. The water enters the purified water discharge pit 7 through a large number of through holes 8, 8, 1, ... provided in the partition plate 6, from which the water is pumped up and discharged.
- the partition plate 6 for the water purification pit 7 also serves to eliminate blind spots in the "movement" behind the filter media A to B.
- the circulating means 3 continuously performs a work of returning the filter medium A taken out of the filter bed B at the most downstream part of the septic tank 2 to the filter bed B at the most upstream part, thereby moving the filter medium A cyclically. This is to make the filter bed B flow gently like the movement of a glacier from the upstream side to the downstream side as a whole, and the clogging of the filter medium A is effective by the flow of the filter bed B obtained by this. Is prevented.

- One end is connected to the inside of the septic tank 2 via the intake 13 at the most downstream part, and the other end is connected to the septic tank via the discharge port 14 at the most upstream part. Communicates within 2.
- the intake 13 is formed by cutting off the upper part of the side wall 2 b of the septic tank 2.
- the depth D from the water surface is about 2 to 3 times the diameter of the filter material A.
- the combination of the size of the intake 13 and the width of the circulation path 9 allows the filter medium A to be taken into the circulation path 9 one by one or several pieces from the upper part of the filter bed B.
- the discharge port 14 is provided at the downstream end of the circulation path 9 so as to communicate with the inside of the purification tank 2 within the minimum necessary for returning the filter medium A into the purification tank 2.
- the filter medium A is provided above the partition wall 14 w provided at the downstream end of the circulation path 9 at a height of about two to three times the diameter of the filter medium A.
- a triangular prism-shaped guide plate 15 is provided adjacent to the discharge port 14 in order to eliminate blind spots in the movement of the filter media A to the filter bed B.
- the moving water flow forming means 10 is for forming a water flow flowing from the downstream side to the upstream side of the septic tank 2 in the circulation path 9, and a pump (not shown) for supplying treated water from the purified water discharge pit 6.
- the filter medium A taken in from the intake port 13 rides on the water flow formed by the moving water flow forming means 10, whereby the water is moved from the most downstream part to the most upstream part of the purification tank 2.
- the filter medium A may form a pledge near the intake port 13 depending on the force conditions that naturally enter the circulation path 9 even if it is natural. Therefore, it is preferable to provide an appropriate means such as a gently rotating impeller in the intake port 13 to force the filter medium A into the circulation path 9.
- the moving water flow forming means 10 is parallel to both the length direction and the depth direction of the circulation path 9 by setting the ejection power and the height of the ejection port 10 n under predetermined conditions.
- a vortex 16 in the direction can be formed.
- this whirlpool 16 converts sludge from filter medium A It serves as separating means for separating. That is, the filter medium A traveling in the circulation path 9 on the water stream is rotated on the vortex stream 16 to remove the attached sludge and to be washed.
- the sludge separated from the filter material A is collected at the sludge pit 17 along the inclined floor of the circulation path 9 and is recovered therefrom by a pump (not shown).
- the moving means is not limited to such a means.
- a conveyor with a driving force may be used, and an appropriate separation means may be provided in the middle of the conveyor as necessary.
- the purpose can be sufficiently achieved only by a circulation path having a depth at which the filter medium A can move in a row, and when such a circulation path is provided, for example, it is formed in advance.
- a concrete pipe or the like may be attached to the septic tank.
- the separating means when the separating means is provided in the circulation path 9, the treated water is not adversely affected by the sludge separated from the filter medium, and the purification efficiency can be further improved.
- the vortex 16 as described above, it is possible to use a very simple structure and an efficient separating means. However, basically, as described above, the clogging of the filter medium A can be sufficiently prevented by the flow of the filter bed B. Therefore, it is not always necessary to provide such separation means, and the separation means is provided. However, other appropriate means can be adopted regardless of the vortex 16.
- the first water flow forming means 1 I is a part of the means for returning the filter medium A moved by the circulation path 9 to the filter bed B, and is the uppermost stream portion of the septic tank 2, specifically, the circulation path 9. Is provided in close proximity to the discharge port 14.
- a vortex 18 is formed in a direction crossing the direction and in a direction parallel to the depth direction of the septic tank 2. The vortex 18 is filled with the filter medium A at the discharge port 14 of the circulation path 9 and rotates to form a pre-stage state for returning to the filter bed B.
- the filter medium A is washed by the rotational movement on the vortex 18 in the same manner as in the circulation path 9 described above, and clogging of the filter medium A is more effectively prevented.
- the sludge separated from the filter medium A collects in the sludge pit 19 along the inclined floor in the same manner as in the case of the circulation path 9, and is collected therefrom by a pump (not shown).
- the second water flow forming means 12 is for returning the filter medium A rotating and riding on the vortex 18 generated by the first water flow forming means 11 to the filter bed B.
- a corner portion defined by a guide plate 21 for eliminating a blind spot is provided so as to face diagonally to the first water flow forming means 11.
- the second water flow forming means 12 similarly ejects the treated water drawn from the purified water discharge pit 6 from the corner of the uppermost stream of the septic tank 2 to the downstream side of the septic tank 2.
- a straight direct stream 20 is formed which is injected obliquely. Then, the filter medium A in the vortex 18 is returned to the bottom of the filter bed B so that the filter medium A is swept off by the direct stream 20.
- the bottom of the septic tank 2 is provided with a roster to prevent the filter medium A from sinking to the bottom when water is drained, etc., and an aeration pipe for supplying air for aeration is provided. Since it is known, its illustration is omitted. Also, for simplicity in the figure, The size ratio between the septic tank 2 and the filter material A and other members is appropriately changed.
- this embodiment is an example in which a separation means by a vortex 16 is provided at a plurality of places in the circulation path 9, and is suitable for a case where the septic tank becomes long.
- the septic tank 32 is of a folded type.
- the partition wall 33 is provided at the center to form a U-shaped passage, so that the upstream end and the downstream end are adjacent to each other.
- Such a structure is suitable when the septic tank is long, and the installation space can be used efficiently.
- a conveyor 34 extending between adjacent upstream and downstream ends may be provided as a moving means. Then, the filter medium A is transferred from the downstream end to the upstream end by the conveyor 34, and the filter medium A is filtered by the first water flow forming means 11 and the second water flow forming means 12 as in the case of the first embodiment. By returning to the bottom of the floor B, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
- the filter medium circulating sewage purification apparatus since the filter medium is circulated by the circulating means so as to give a quiet flow to the filter bed, clogging of the filter medium can be effectively prevented. Further, since the sludge is separated from the filter medium by utilizing such a circulation of the filter medium, clogging of the filter medium can be more effectively prevented. In addition, since such clogging is prevented without adversely affecting the treated water being purified, the efficiency of the filtration media type wastewater purification is greatly improved. Can contribute.
