A hierarchical model predictive control (HMPC) method based on fuzzy neural network for wastewater treatment process (WWTP) is designed to realize hierarchical control of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration and nitrate nitrogen concentration. In view of the difference of time scales in WWTP, it is difficult to accurately control the concentration of DO and nitrate nitrogen. The disclosure establishes a HMPC structure according to different time scales. Then, the concentration of DO and nitrate nitrogen is controlled with different frequencies. It not only conforms to the operation characteristics of WWTP, but also solves the problem of poor operation performance of multivariable model predictive control. The experimental results show that the HMPC method can achieve accurate on-line control of DO concentration and nitrate nitrogen concentration with different time scales.

The present invention concerns a biological reactor used in the field of sanitation for the treatment of sewage and industrial wastewater. The solution proposed in this invention is the coupling of two different treatment processes (anaerobic and aerobic) in the same fixed bed reactor. The invention aims to allow for the construction of plants for the treatment of sewage or very compact industrial effluents, where it is possible to achieve high treatment efficiencies with a small implantation area. In addition, due to the combination of the anaerobic and aerobic processes in fixed beds in the same reactor, the system consumes less energy for aeration and generates a smaller amount of sludge, considerably reducing the operating costs of the treatment plant.

The present invention provides a method for treating dye wastewater. The method includes: firstly, homogenizing the dye wastewater to balance the quality of the dye wastewater from different processes; then subjecting the homogenized dye wastewater to anaerobic treatment to remove most of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (SS) in the wastewater; and finally subjecting the dye wastewater after the anaerobic treatment to circulating anaerobic-oxic treatment in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). In the present invention, the MBR is filled with a quinone-based hollow fiber membrane. The quinone acts as an electron mediator to accelerate an enzymatic reaction for dye decolorization during the anaerobic process, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient decolorization. The oxic treatment process further removes the COD and SS in the wastewater, so that the effluent meets a first-level discharge standard. The results of the examples show that by treating the dye wastewater by the method provided by the present invention, the COD in the effluent is less than 100 mg/L, the chromaticity is less than 20 times, and the SS is 0.

Disclosed is a method for treating wastewater containing heavy metal. First, the wastewater containing heavy metal is subjected to a homogenization treatment, such that the water quality of the wastewater containing heavy metal from different processes is homogenized. The homogenized wastewater containing heavy metal is subjected to an anaerobic-aerobic circulating treatment in a membrane bioreactor (2), in which heavy metal ions are reduced by the action of microorganisms in the anaerobic treatment process. The membrane bioreactor (2) is filled with a hollow fiber membrane (3) containing a quinone group, which serves as an electron mediator that can accelerate the enzymatic reduction of heavy metal ions during the anaerobic treatment. During the aerobic treatment, the COD and SS in the wastewater are further removed.

A method of treating wastewater is disclosed in which a flow equalization reactor is provided that includes at least one wastewater treatment zone. A first wastewater treatment process is performed in the at least one wastewater treatment zone, which can be switched to a second wastewater treatment process. The flow equalization reactor is designed with a variable liquid depth and volume that can operated as a mixed wastewater zone, an anaerobic reactor zone, an anoxic reactor zone or an aerobic reactor zone. The equalization reactor provides sufficient variable liquid depth and volume above a minimum liquid depth and residual volume to provide the necessary hydraulic flow equalization or surge volume to achieve a relatively constant effluent pumping rate or feed forward flow rate over 24 hours per day, seven days per week into the downstream biological treatment processes, clarifiers, filters, or disinfection units, etc.

Described herein are methods and devices for treating water, wastewater, and organic wastes. The methods and devices are mixed by using hydraulic surge mixers. This surge mixer is driven by gas and can provide occasional surges of water using large bubbles which are able to move great volume of liquid while minimizing dissolved oxygen transfer to the surrounding liquid. Use of the devices and processes herein provides a simple, eloquent approach to water and wastewater treatment with less operation and maintenance costs than conventional devices and/or processes. The same surge lifting device can also be installed in other reactors to mix the tank content and enhance reaction with reduced energy use and maintenance needs.

It discloses to a device and a method for controlling pollutants in metal mine water resources cycling utilization. The device includes a multi-stage inflow constructed wetland (3), in which one or more layers of the filler are laid, and water distribution pipes (4) are buried at different height levels in the filler layers for multi-stage inflow, so that the received basin water is allowed to flow through each layer of the filler to degrade or remove the pollutants. In the multi-stage inflow constructed wetland, the types of fillers, dosage ratio, particle size and filling height of fillers in each layer are specifically selected. Therefore, heavy metal adsorption, suspended matter filtration, organic matter degradation, dephosphorization and denitrification can be effectively realized in the multi-stage inflow constructed wetland.
