Advantages of anaerobic reactors

2022-12-12 13:38
With the development of immobilization technology in biofermentation engineering, people have realized the importance of increasing the sludge concentration in reactors, and anaerobic bioreactors based on the principle of microbial immobilization have been developed. Anaerobic bioreactors meet the following two conditions:
1) The system can maintain a large amount of active anaerobic sludge;
2) The reactor influent should maintain good contact with the sludge.
Based on this principle, a high-speed anaerobic reactor —the anaerobic filter was born. Its success lies in the addition of solid packing materials (such as gravel) to the reactor, where microorganisms grow on the surface of the packing materials, avoiding water washing, cleverly separating the average water retention time from the biological solid retention time. The solid retention time can reach hundreds of days, shortening the anaerobic treatment of high-concentration wastewater from days or tens of days to hours or days. At the same temperature, the load of the anaerobic filter is 2-3 times that of the anaerobic contact process, with a high COD removal rate, and the reactor is easy to cultivate anaerobic sludge that adapts to toxic substances.
The characteristic is that the granular sludge in the reactor ensures a high concentration of anaerobic sludge, marking a new era in the research of anaerobic reactors. Then, based on some anaerobic treatment experience and new research results involving microbiology, biochemistry, and biochemical engineering in anaerobic treatment, researchers have developed a batch of anaerobic reactors, called anaerobic wastewater treatment reactors, typical of which include: upflow solid anaerobic reactor (USR), upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB), anaerobic filter (AF), anaerobic fluidized bed (AFB), etc.
Anaerobic reactors solve the key problems that hinder reactor operation, such as the slow growth of anaerobic microorganisms and the ease with which biomass is carried out with the liquid. The outstanding advantages of these reactors are:
1) High organic load and hydraulic load, reactor volume is more than 90% smaller than traditional devices;
2) Maintain good stability under unfavorable conditions such as low temperature and shock load;
3) Simple reactor structure, small footprint, suitable for various scales, can be used as an operating unit in overall treatment technology, simple operation, and reduced labor management costs.
However, anaerobic reactor the defects are still very obvious: the application load and gas production rate of the reactor are limited by the hydraulic and organic load.
Many research results show that crystal nuclei are difficult to find in most mature granular sludge. The formation of granular sludge is not based on crystal nuclei, but entirely depends on the microorganisms themselves, so there are other viewpoints:

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
