연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

This invention relates to a process and reactor system suitable for biological treatment of wastewaters or for other applications wherein effective and intimate contact between biological populations attached to a fixed surface and liquid born chemicals and gaseous atmospheres is required. The reactor includes a sealed housing generally having a plurality of independent-vertical chambers, each open at the top and bottom and each filled with high surface-area packing and disposed annularly around a central-vertical chamber. The central vertical chamber is also open at the top and bottom, but free of packing. The bottom of the central chamber is in communication with the bottom of each of the independent-annular columns by means of a bottom-freeboard chamber. The top of the central-vertical chamber is also in communication with the top of each independent-vertical chamber by means of a top-freeboard chamber created by setting the liquid level in the reactor at a position above the top of all vertical chambers. In an application of a process for biological treatment of wastewater, wherein a dissolved oxygen free environment is required during contact of biological populations with liquid born chemicals and gaseous atmospheres; such as for anaerobic treatment of wastewaters or anoxic dentrification of wastewater, the gaseous phase of the reactor is isolated from the atmosphere and starved of gaseous oxygen. In an aerobic biological process application wherein an oxygen rich environment is desired for biological processing of water borne chemicals or wastewater, the gaseous freeboard may be purged with fresh air at controlled rates and induce a flow of oxygen-rich gases within the down-flowing fluid in the central chamber. The combined effects of gas induction, toroidal dispersion of liquid and gases, maintenance of high liquid velocities through the packing and across the reactor floor, and gasing of the entire high surface-area packing provides unusually high rates of biological digestion and reactor efficiency.

In an aerobic process for treating an aqueous liquor containing biodegradable waste wherein the aqueous liquor is introduced into the containment vessel having an inlet and outlet and in which said waste is biologically digested as the liquor passes through the vessel, said biological digestion being accomplished by contacting the liquor with aerobic bacteria and other microorganisms growing in slimes on sumberged surfaces of a packing material through which water and gases move freely; the improvement for enhancing biological degradation which comprises; establishing one or more first annular vertically-extending chambers within the periphery of the containment vessel, these first chambers forming an annulus around a centrally-located vertically-extending chamber, said first chamber(s) being in fluid communication with each other at the top and bottom ends and said centrally located chamber being in fluid communication with all of the said first chamber(s) at the top and bottom ends; establishing said packing material suitable for attachment of microorganisms within said first annular vertically-extending chamber(s); establishing a toroidal-mixing pattern in said containment vessel by maintaining a downward fluid flow from the top to the bottom in said second centrally-located chamber, then horizontally across the bottom of said first annular vertically-extending chambers and then upwardly through said first annular vertically-extending chambers and the packing material therein; introducing air to said centrally located chamber wherein a first means of oxygen dissolution is created by high liquid velocities and turbulence which entrains gas bubbles in the fluid and transfers oxygen into the fluid; and establishing a fluid velocity in said centrally-located chamber of 1.5 to 4.0 feet per second downward and of sufficient horizontal liquid velocity at the floor of said vessel and at the periphery of said second central chamber for dispersing the gas bubbles and fluid under said packing material in said first annular vertically extending chamber. In a process for continuously treating an aqueous liquor containing a variety of waste chemicals and requiring several biological degradation steps, wherein the liquid is introduced to a closed-sealed containment vessel having an inlet and outlet which establishes a constant liquid level in said vessel and which vessel constitutes the first stage of a series of reactor stages, and in which chemicals are partially biologically digested as the liquor passes through the said first stage, said biological digestion being accomplished by contacting the liquor with anaerobic bacteria and other microorganisms, growing in slimes on the submerged surfaces of porous structures through which water and gases move freely; the improvement for completing biological degradation more effectively is comprised of: establishing said first stage with one or more vertically-extending chambers within the periphery of a reactor vessel, these first chambers forming an annulus around a second centrally-located vertically-extending chamber, said first chamber(s) all being in fluid communication with each other at the top and bottom ends and said second chamber being in fluid communication with all of the said first chamber(s) at the top and bottom ends; establishing a uniform-porous matrix having a large surface area suitable for attachment of microorganisms within the confines of said first annular vertically-extending chamber(s) in said first stage; establishing a toroidal-mixing pattern in said first stage by maintaining a downward fluid flow from the top to the bottom of said second centrally-located chamber by means of a pumping device placed in said second chamber, and returning said fluid flow to the top of said second chamber by forcing it to pass from the floor of the vessel upwardly through said first annular vertically-extending chambers and the porous matrix therein; establishing a uniquely efficient means of transferring dissolved gases produced by anaerobic bacteria growing on said porous matrix, to the closed-sealed gas space above the fluid in said closed-sealed vessel by introducing gas from said closed-sealed gas space to the downflow in said second chamber wherein a first means of degassing the fluid is created by high liquid velocities and turbulence which entrains gas bubbles in the fluid and transfers dissolved gases in and out of the fluid while the rapid downward flow of fluid transports the gases and fluid to the bottom of the vessel and hence to the bottom of all of said first chamber(s) wherein the gas bubbles and fluid are forced to rise through all of the porous matrix to the top of said chamber(s) thus providing a second means of degassing the fluid, thus transferring dissolved gases to the gas bubbles which upon arriving at the surface of the liquid in said closed-sealed vessel combine with the gases present in said closed gas space; establishing a means of extracting the excess gases produced by anaerobic processes in said first stage from said closed-sealed vessel while excluding oxygen from said closed-sealed gas space; establishing critical fluid velocities in said centrally-located chamber, of 1.5 to 4.0 feet per second downward, horizontal liquid velocities of V (ft/sec.)=x(ft)÷(0.66 sec.±0.3) at the floor of said vessel and at the outer periphery of said second chamber for dispersing the gas bubbles and fluid uniformly under said uniform porous matrix, wherein x is the breadth of the said first annular vertically-extending chambers in feet, and maintenance of minimum velocities of said fluid moving upward through said uniform porous matrix within said first annular vertically-extending chamber(s) of from 0.22 to 0.32 per second; establishing a second reactor vessel similar to said first stage above which receives the partially treated liquor from said first stage and constitutes a second-stage reactor vessel with the embodiments of the submerged fixed film system of the first stage, but which may operate in either an anaerobic mode as does said first stage or which may operate in an aerobic mode wherein oxygen rich gases are introduced to the gases recirculated in the toroidal mixing pattern; and establishing a plurality of subsequent reactor stages all operating with the embodiments of the said first or second stages wherein each stage receives the partially treated liquor of the previous stage and has a defined biological treatment purpose to include organic chemical removal, removal of certain inorganic chemicals such as sulfates, nitrates and metals which form sulfide precipitates, satisfaction of biological oxygen demand and satisfaction of nitrogen oxygen demand.
