2022-12-12 13:38
In order to achieve the effective operation of anaerobic reactors, combining the advantages and disadvantages of the reactors, three generations of anaerobic reactors have been developed. Three generations Anaerobic reactor It has the characteristics of small land occupation and small power consumption. Microorganisms exist in the reactor in the form of granular sludge. The biomass per unit volume of the reactor is higher than before, it can withstand higher hydraulic load, and has a higher purification effect on organic pollutants.
The microorganisms in the reactor grow in different regions, and can fully contact with the influent in different regions to complete a certain degree of biological separation. The main representatives of the third generation reactors are: anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB), internal circulation reactor (IC), upflow anaerobic sludge bed filter (UBF), etc. New anaerobic biological treatment technology and reactor.
Upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) is a typical type of wastewater anaerobic biological treatment reactor. UASB reactor has a high organic load, and has been widely used in the past 10 years, accounting for about Anaerobic reactor 70% of the world's total. The structure of the UASB reactor is shown, and its main body can be divided into two regions: reaction zone, gas, liquid and solid three-phase separation zone. At the bottom of the reaction zone, a sludge bed formed by a large number of anaerobic granular sludge with good sedimentation performance and biological activity, and the upper part of the sludge bed is a low-concentration suspended sludge layer.
When the reactor is running, the wastewater to be treated enters from the bottom of the sludge bed at a certain flow rate (generally 0.5~1.5m/h) and contacts with the sludge. A large number of active anaerobic bacteria in the sludge play a major role in biological metabolism. After two processes of acidification and methanation, the organic matter in the wastewater is decomposed, and the biogas is generated in the form of bubbles from the sludge bed area, driving the surrounding mixture to produce a certain stirring effect. After gas stirring, the loose sludge in the sludge bed area is brought into the sludge suspension layer area, collides and contacts with the suspended sludge, and the proportion of some sludge increases, and the sludge bed area is precipitated.
The sludge in the suspended mixture is loose, the proportion of particles is small, and the sludge concentration is low. The mixture of gas, water and mud rises to the three-phase separator, the gas enters the inclined wall of the human body along the action of the baffle plate, and the sludge and water are separated. Due to the separation of gas and water, the upper cleaning liquid is discharged from the sedimentation zone. Due to the action of gravity, the upper part is separated. The sludge granulation of UASB reactor is one of the main characteristics of this reactor. Granular sludge can be defined as a self-balancing micro-ecosystem, which is characterized by microbial aggregates particularly suitable for upflow wastewater treatment systems.

Practical application of IC tower in food processing wastewater treatment
Wastewater from the food processing industry contains a large amount of organic matter, suspended solids, and oils. Traditional treatment methods often face problems such as high energy consumption and long processing cycles. The IC tower (internal circulation anaerobic reactor), with its unique internal circulation structure and three-phase separation system, demonstrates technical adaptability in treating high-concentration organic wastewater. The core advantage of the IC tower lies in its internal circulation mechanism. Through the fluid movement of the internal rising and falling pipes, it achieves thorough mixing of sludge and wastewater, improving biodegradation efficiency. In food wastewater treatment, the IC tower can adapt to influent conditions with a wide range of COD concentrations, especially suitable for the dairy, meat processing, and brewing industries. Practice has shown that when treating oily wastewater, the IC tower can stably achieve a COD removal rate that meets emission standards by reasonably controlling the hydraulic retention time and organic load. In an actual engineering case, a large seasoning production enterprise used the IC tower as a pretreatment unit. The influent COD concentration ranged from 8000-12000mg/L, and after treatment by the IC tower, it was reduced to below 1500mg/L, significantly reducing the burden on the subsequent aerobic treatment unit. The operating data shows that the biogas yield of the IC tower is stable and can be used for energy recovery, further reducing treatment costs.
The effectiveness of IC tower in treating high-concentration organic wastewater
The IC tower (internal circulation anaerobic reactor) is an important piece of equipment in modern wastewater treatment, demonstrating significant technical characteristics in treating high-concentration organic wastewater. Its unique internal circulation system enhances the contact efficiency between sludge and wastewater, making the organic matter degradation process more thorough and showing clear adaptability in treating industrial wastewater with a COD concentration exceeding 3000 mg/L. The treatment effect of this technology is mainly reflected in two dimensions: organic matter removal rate and biogas production. Actual operating data shows that in wastewater treatment for industries such as brewing and food processing, the IC tower usually maintains a high COD removal rate. The granular sludge formed inside the reactor has good settling performance, ensuring the stability of system operation. When the temperature is controlled around 35℃, the microbial activity reaches an optimal state, and the treatment effect is relatively ideal. In the process of treating high-concentration organic wastewater, the volumetric loading capacity of the IC tower is a key indicator that distinguishes it from traditional anaerobic processes. Due to its multi-stage reaction zone design and internal circulation flow pattern, the equipment can withstand high organic load shocks. Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment cases show that the system can still maintain stable operation when the influent COD fluctuates between 5000-8000 mg/L.
In the back-end process of semiconductor manufacturing, the IC handler (integrated circuit testing and sorting equipment) plays a core role in verifying chip functions and screening for quality. Its working principle is to use a precision robotic arm to send wafers or packaged chips to the testing station, and use the probe card and tester to complete the electrical parameter measurement. Then, according to the test results, it automatically sorts out qualified products and defective products. This integrated "test-judgment-sorting" process makes it a decisive link in the quality control before the chip leaves the factory. From a technical perspective, the gatekeeping role of the IC handler is reflected in three dimensions: First, the contact testing scheme can simulate the actual working state of the chip and detect physical defects such as open circuits, short circuits, and leakage; second, the multi-station parallel testing architecture achieves the screening capacity of thousands of chips per unit time, matching the production capacity needs of the packaging and testing factory; more importantly, its test data is directly related to the yield statistics of the chip, providing key evidence for process improvement. Current mainstream equipment supports environmental temperature testing from -40℃ to 150℃, covering the reliability verification needs of different application scenarios such as consumer electronics and automotive electronics. In industrial practice, the testing standards of IC handlers are often more stringent than the terminal application conditions. Taking the case of a major packaging and testing factory as an example
