Patent number: 11180392Abstract: Disclosed is a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for sewage treatment. The SBR is applicable to an energy-producing sewage treatment system. The SBR includes a treatment tank and a hybrid bacterial strain screening tank. The treatment tank removes ammonium contained in supernatant liquid using anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria. The hybrid bacterial strain screening tank screen anammox bacteria granules out by passing the supernatant liquid discharged from the treatment tank through the hybrid bacterial strain screening tank. The SBR generates biogas using the anammox bacteria and reduces the nitrogen content in the supernatant liquid. The SBR can separate the anammox bacteria granules with high separation efficiency, thereby shortening sewage treatment time and recycling activated sludge, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the amount of waste sludge.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: DOOSAN HEAVY INDUSTRIES & CONSTRUCTION CO.

Publication number: 20190315643Abstract: A method for biologically treating nitrogen while minimizing energy and carbon source usage uses an aerobic tank, a first anoxic tank, and a second anoxic tank. The method includes introducing feed water by dividedly introducing the feed water to the aerobic tank and the first anoxic tank; converting ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen in the aerobic tank; converting the nitrate nitrogen into nitrite nitrogen through partial denitrification in the first anoxic tank using organic material contained in the feed water; and converting the nitrite nitrogen and ammonia into nitrogen gas in the second anoxic tank using an anammox microorganism. The ammonia nitrogen is converted by determining aeration intensity, aeration time, and/or aeration amount depending on an ammonia concentration in the aerobic tank. The nitrate nitrogen is converted by determining a reaction time of the first anoxic tank based on nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the first anoxic tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2019Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Seong Ju Kim, Hwan Chul Cho, Yang Oh Jin
