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. Only the transitional phrases “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of” are closed or semi-closed transitional phrases, respectively, with respect to the claims. As used herein, the term “plurality” refers to two or more items or components.
- The invention is directed to wastewater treatment systems utilizing membrane bioreactors (MBR's). “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 micro-organisms 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 a plurality of biological basins operated simultaneously. The plurality of biological basins may comprise individual basins positioned near or adjacent to one another, or a single basin with a plurality of compartments. As used herein, the terms “basin” and “compartment” are used interchangeably to denote an individual treatment zone. In one embodiment, at least two basins are positioned adjacent one another and share a common interior wall which may reduce construction costs.
- According to one embodiment, a suspension system may be disposed in each of the plurality of basins. The suspension system may be any system sufficient to suspend solids in the wastewater within the basin. For example, the suspension system may be a stirrer or a plurality of fluid jet streams. In one embodiment, the suspension system includes a plurality of jets positioned at or near a floor of each basin for delivering a jet stream of fluid and/or air.
- In one embodiment, an aeration system is disposed in each of the plurality of basins. The aeration system may be any aeration system sufficient to deliver a suitable amount of air to promote aerobic conditions within the basin. The aeration system my produce fine bubbles, coarse bubbles, a jet stream of gas, and combinations thereof. The aeration system may be positioned in any suitable location within the compartment. In one embodiment, the aeration system is fluidly connected to the jet suspension system, that is to say, the aeration system and the fluidization system may be combined into one system. In one embodiment, when it is desirable to aerate one or more basins, air may be added to the wastewater in the fluidization system for delivery through a jet assembly. In one embodiment, a single source of air may be used to supply one or more aerations systems. For example, a single air blower may cycle air between and among multiple basins through switchover devices, such as diversion valves. The use of a single source of air to cycle aeration between two or more basins may reduce original equipment costs, which typically include an individual source of air for each basin.
- In one embodiment, a common wastewater feed is fluidly connected to each jet suspension system in multiple basins. The jet suspension system operates continually in each basin fluidizing each basin. Air may then be cycled among the basins through the jet suspension system. When aeration of one or more basins is desired, air may diverted to one or more particular jet suspension systems of a particular basin or basins. When anoxic conditions are desired, a flow of air may be completely interrupted and air may be diverted away from the particular basin or basins. It is appreciated that the flow of air need not be completely interrupted when operating under anoxic conditions. For example, a minimum amount of air may be desired to assist in the anoxic process, so long as the air present under anoxic conditions is not sufficient to support aerobic conditions in the basin.
- In one embodiment, a single blower may be used to cycle air among respective basins, wherein at any give time, one or more basins may run under aerobic conditions, while the remaining basin or basins may run under anoxic conditions. One advantage of the combined suspension/aeration system may a reduced incidence of clogging by settling solids as fluid (either wastewater or combined wastewater and air) is always passing through the combined suspension/aeration system.
- The combined suspension/aeration system may have any configuration to provide adequate suspension and aeration for the desired application and treatment volume. For example, the combined system may comprise a jet assembly having a high efficiency jet having an orifice of a particular configuration and cross sectional area to promote suspension and aeration.
- Switchover of air flow form one or more basins to another or multiple other basins may by manual or automatic, based upon time of operating conditions within the basins, sensors detecting a characteristic of the wastewater within the basins, or combinations thereof. For example, one or more sensors may detect dissolved oxygen content, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), alkalinity, and/or nitrate content of wastewater within a basin, thereby generating a signal indicating operating conditions are appropriate for either adding air or interrupting air flowing to a particular basin. In one embodiment, alternating between anoxic and aerobic conditions is based upon a duration of a particular cycle and a concentration of dissolved oxygen in the basin. In another embodiment, a decrease in the rate of change of the oxidation reduction potential may signal the end of the anoxic cycle.
- Cycling between anoxic and aerobic conditions within the same basin may provide advantages over batch or sequential batch operations which require transfer of basin contents from one basin to another. For example, one advantage of cycling air among basins is that the contents of the basins need not be transferred to another basin in order to switch between anoxic and aerobic conditions, thereby reducing the number of basins required. The continuous operation of a single blower to supply at least two basins may also reduce energy costs.
- One or more of the basins may be operated as a batch flow mode, a sequencing batch reactor, or as a continuous flow batch reactor having continuous wastewater inflow. In a continuous flow batch reactor, the wastewater may be directed to one or more basins equally, or directed to a particular basin based upon volume of flow or one or more physical or chemical characteristics of the wastewater. For example, the chemical makeup of incoming wastewater may determine whether the incoming wastewater is to be directed to a basin currently operating under anoxic conditions, or to a basin currently operating under aerobic conditions.
- Because each basin cycles between anoxic and aerobic conditions, the residence time of wastewater within each basin determines the number of anoxic cycles and aerobic cycles to which the wastewater is exposed. For example, wastewater entering a basin may be exposed to to only one anoxic cycle and one aerobic cycle. However, under a longer residence time, wastewater entering a basin may be exposed to multiple anoxic and aerobic cycles.
- The bacteria used in the basins may be any bacteria suitable to thrive in anoxic and/or anaerobic conditions. In one embodiment, the anoxic process may form facultative bacteria that may work in both anoxic and aerobic conditions.
- In another embodiment, the effluent from one or more of the basins may be directed to one or more membrane basins, each membrane basin having one or more filter membranes positioned therein. The one or more membrane basins may be formed similar to the biological basins. For example, if multiple membrane basins are desired, the membrane basins may comprise individual basins positioned near or adjacent to one another, or a single basin with a plurality of compartments, sharing at least one interior wall. In one embodiment, the one or more biological basins are fluidly connected to one membrane basin. In another embodiment, at least two basins are fluidly connected to at least two membrane basins.
- The filter membranes 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. In one embodiment, the membrane is formed of polymeric hollow fibers. The one or more filter 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 cylindrical.
- According to one embodiment of the invention, one or more membrane modules may be positioned in a basin in such a way as to be completely submerged by fluid during operation. For example, the membrane module may be positioned horizontally, vertically, or at an angle within the basin. Multiple membrane modules may be positioned adjacent one another, or located at predetermined positions within the basin and may, but need not, be positioned in the same plane as others or parallel to one another. The membrane modules may be mounted directly to the basin or mounted to a module support which may be removably attached to the basin. In one embodiment, a plurality of membrane modules are mounted to a module support to facilitate membrane maintenance and/or replacement.
- As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 1 , sometreatment systems 100 of the invention may comprise abiological basin 112 comprising twocompartments Jet assembly systems 114 are fluidly connected towastewater inlets 116 andaeration blower 150. Jet pumps 118 operate continuously to introduce wastewater intocompartments Aeration blower 150 also operates continuously providing a source of air that is cycled between thejet assembly 114 incompartment 110 and thejet assembly 114 incompartment 120. Aswitchover device 160 directs the flow of air between the two jet assemblies.Compartment 110 is fluidly connected to afirst membrane basin 130.Compartment 120 is fluidly connected to asecond membrane basin 130.Pumps 122 direct treated wastewater from eachcompartment membrane basins 130, and assist in recycling missed liquor from the first andsecond membrane basins 130 tocompartment 110 andcompartment 120, respectively. Filtrate exitsmembrane basins 130 throughlines 124. - During operation,
switchover device 160 diverts air tocompartment 110 and interrupts air flow tocompartment 120 so thatcompartment 110 operates under aerobic conditions andcompartment 120 operates under anoxic conditions.Switchover device 160 may then interrupt air to thejet assembly 114 incompartment 110, and direct air to thejet assembly 114 incompartment 120, at which time conditions incompartment 110 change from aerobic to anoxic, and conditions incompartment 120 change from anoxic to aerobic. - Some aspects of the invention may be particularly directed to controlling waste treatment operations that utilize membrane filtration techniques. For example, with reference to
FIG. 2 , awastewater treatment system 200 may comprise a firstbiological compartment 210, a secondbiological compartment 220 and amembrane compartment 230.

A source ofair 250, such as a blower, delivers air to one or bothcompartments switchover device 260. Concentrated mixed liquor may be directed frommembrane compartment 230 to one or both ofcompartments switchover device 270. -
Controller 240 may respond to signals from sensors (not shown) positioned at any particular location within the system. For example, a sensor incompartment 210, which may be operating under anoxic conditions, may generate a signal indicating that denitrification has reached a desired extent of completion.Controller 240 may respond by generating a control signal causingswitchover device 260 to direct air tocompartment 210. Similarly, a sensor (not shown) incompartment 220, which may be operating under aerobic conditions, may generate a signal indicating that oxidation has reached a desired extent of completion.Controller 240 may respond by generating a control signal causingswitchover device 260 to interrupt flow of air tocompartment 220. -
Controller 240 may also respond to one or more sensors positioned inmembrane compartment 230. For example, a sensor inmembrane compartment 230 may generate a signal indicating the concentrated mixed liquor being recycled frommembrane compartment 230 should be further exposed to anoxic conditions.Controller 240 may respond by generating a control signal toswitchover device 270 to direct recycled concentrated mixed liquor to either or bothcompartments controller 240 may respond to one or more sensors (not shown) positioned in a wastewater inlet to generate a signal to a flow controller (not shown) to direct incoming wastewater to one or bothcompartments - The system and controller of one or more embodiments of the invention provide a versatile unit having multiple modes of operation, which can respond to multiple inputs to increase the efficiency of the wastewater treatment system.
