4. Process Description of HJ Equipment

The design of HJ equipment is mainly for the treatment of domestic sewage and similar industrial organic wastewater. The primary method uses the mature biochemical treatment technology of contact oxidation. Water quality design parameters are calculated based on general domestic water quality, with an average influent BOD₅ of 200mg/l and effluent BOD₅ of 20mg/l. It consists of six parts: (1) Anaerobic tank (2) Multi-stage contact oxidation tank (3) Secondary sedimentation tank (4) Disinfection tank, disinfection device (5) Sludge tank (6) Blower room, blower. They are described as follows:

(1) Anaerobic tank

The regulating tank wastewater is pumped to the anaerobic tank for anaerobic treatment. The tank is equipped with special fillers, and the oxygen content is controlled below 0.5mg/L. The wastewater stays in the anaerobic tank for about 2.5 hours.

(2) Multi-stage contact oxidation tank: The effluent from the anaerobic tank flows into the contact tank for biochemical treatment. The contact tank is divided into three stages, with a total retention time of 5-6 hours. For enhanced equipment, the contact oxidation time can reach over 8 hours. The filler is a novel elastic filler, easy to form a biofilm and not prone to clogging. The specific surface area of the filler is 160m²/m³, and the air-to-water ratio in the contact tank is about 12-15:1. (Note: HJ-0.5m³/h contact tank has two stages)

(3) Secondary sedimentation tank: The biologically treated wastewater flows into the secondary sedimentation tank. The upward flow rate is 0.1-0.15 mm/s, and sludge is lifted to the sludge tank by air.

(4) Disinfection tank, disinfection device: The disinfection tank follows the standard "TJ14-74" with a 30-minute retention time. For hospital wastewater, the retention time can be increased to 1-1.5 hours.

Disinfection uses solid chlorine tablets for contact dissolution. The disinfection device can adjust the dosing amount according to the effluent flow, ensuring more dosing for more flow and less for less flow. Other disinfection devices can be configured as needed. (Note: For industrial wastewater, the disinfection tank and device may be omitted)

(5) Sludge tank: All sludge from the primary and secondary sedimentation tanks is lifted to the HJ equipment's sludge tank for aerobic digestion. The supernatant from the sludge tank is returned to the contact oxidation tank for further treatment. After digestion, very little residual sludge remains, generally requiring cleaning every 1-2 years. Cleaning can be done using a suction truck inserted into the sludge tank through the inspection hole for extraction and transport.

(6) Blower room, blower: The blower room is built separately with color steel plates, with double-layer sound insulation at the inlet, and includes silencers and blower filters, ensuring no noise during operation. Two Roots blowers are used, capable of automatic alternating operation. The service life of a single blower is over 30,000 hours.

6. Structure and Construction of HJ Equipment

Since HJ equipment is buried underground, maintenance and upkeep are relatively difficult. Therefore, the design considers its maintenance-free nature. The entire equipment has a reasonable and reliable structure, and even if some faults occur, they can be accessed through various inspection holes. All facilities of the HJ equipment are set in several tanks, which can be made of full stainless steel plates. The tanks are connected with stainless steel pipes, ensuring a service life of over 30 years.

If users have budget constraints, they can purchase Q235A steel plates with a thickness of 8mm. The tanks are connected with seamless steel pipes. Both the inside and outside of the equipment are coated with epoxy coal tar or fiberglass anti-corrosion coatings recommended by the Chemical Industry Ministry. Generally, the equipment is coated with 6 layers: 2 primer coats and 4 top coats. The anti-corrosion life can generally reach over 10 years.

The entire HJ equipment is designed for maintenance and upkeep for 10 years.

7. HJ Equipment Matching Pumps

The pumps matched with HJ equipment are used to lift wastewater from the regulating tank into the HJ equipment. The pumps are anti-clogging tearing type submersible sewage pumps.

The pumps have strong sewage discharge capacity, are non-clogging, and can effectively pass solid particles with a diameter of φ30-φ80 mm. The tearing mechanism of the pump can tear long fibrous materials, eliminating the need for a filter screen on the pump. The pump can safely operate for over 8000 hours.

The pump is equipped with electrical protection switches, float switches, and automatic coupling devices. HJ equipment is matched with two pumps, one of which is standby. For specific parameters, refer to "5. Technical Parameters Table".

8. Selection of HJ Equipment

Before selecting HJ equipment, it is necessary to clarify the nature of the wastewater, influent quality, quantity, and the required discharge standards.

The regulating tank is provided or constructed by the user, generally as a concrete tank. The capacity of the regulating tank must be determined based on drainage cycles, production processes, and other factors. Generally, the capacity of the regulating tank is 6-10 times the treatment capacity.

In the design, HJ equipment can be buried underground, placed above ground, or semi-buried. The pipelines between the equipment tanks are provided by our company. Before HJ operation, only the pipelines of the tanks and the inlet/outlet pipes need to be connected, and the cables need to be connected for operation.

If the equipment is used in cold regions, the inspection hole can be raised to bury the equipment below the frost layer, allowing normal operation. In southern regions, the equipment can also be placed on outdoor ground without the need for a building.

The equipment can be arranged in a standard manner. If there are special circumstances, the equipment tanks can be arranged according to the terrain.

10. Installation, Use, and Maintenance of HJ Equipment

10-1. Installation: This equipment can be installed in two forms: one is above ground, and the other is below ground. According to the installation diagram and foundation diagram, the concrete base specifications are the same as the plane installation diagram (foundation). The foundation must bear an average pressure of 5t/m² or more and must be level. If the equipment is installed below ground, the relative elevation of the foundation should be the same as the equipment height. The excavation width around must be at least 500mm from the foundation edge to facilitate pipeline installation.

According to the installation diagram, position the equipment using a crane to lift it into place. The position and direction of the tanks must not be wrong, and the mutual distance must be accurate. Connect the equipment pipelines.

After installation, the equipment must be filled with water, and all pipeline ports must be tested for leaks. Adjust the two secondary sedimentation tank submerged weirs to the same level. After further confirmation that everything is proper, backfill the soil around the equipment and gaps, and level the ground. Connect the control lines from the electrical control cabinet to the equipment, and connect the electrical control cabinet to the power supply. When wiring, pay attention to the rotation direction of the blower and motor, which must be the same as the direction indicated by the blower.

Precautions: After equipment installation, ensure that there is no water accumulation during rain; the discharge pipeline of the equipment must be below -0.6m relative to the ground; no heavy objects should be placed on the equipment, and no large vehicles should pass over it; generally, the internal wastewater should not be emptied to prevent groundwater from floating the equipment.

10-2. Debugging: The sewage pump lifts wastewater into the equipment at the rated flow rate. Start the blower for aeration. Observe the condition of the filler in the contact tank daily. If an orange-yellow or orange-black film grows on the filler, the biofilm is cultivated. This process generally takes 7-15 days. For industrial organic wastewater, it is best to cultivate the biofilm with domestic wastewater first, then gradually introduce industrial wastewater for biofilm acclimation.

10-3. Equipment maintenance: HJ equipment must establish a regular maintenance system. The main vulnerable parts are the blower and pump. The blower rotation direction must not be reversed. If sewage enters, it must be cleaned, and the oil must be replaced before use. Before starting the blower, ensure the air damper is open. The blower must be maintained every 10,000 hours of operation, and the pump must be maintained every 5,000-8,000 hours of operation.
