Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating wastewater comprising aerobic microbes and an upflow anaerobic reactor in which the wastewater including various substances such as non-degradable and toxic materials and organic substances could be decomposed biologically. Anaerobic bio-reaction effect could be maximized by maintaining uniformity of inflowing wastewater and recycle sludge or by deferring the heights of inlets.
Claims8
An upflow anaerobic reactor 1 for applying to an apparatus for treating wastewater which comprises:
- a principal axis 2 which is formed vertically in the center of the anaerobic reactor 1 and rotates in accordance with a driving force transferred from a driving means;
- a wastewater inflow tube 3 and a returning sludge inflow tube 4 which are installed in an outer and upper portion of the anaerobic reactor 1 and through which the wastewater and returning sludge are injected respectively;
- a retentive portion 5 which is installed and fixed on the upper circumference of the principal axis 2 so as to rotate with the principal axis 2 and through which the wastewater and the returning sludge introduced from the ends of the wastewater inflow tube 3 and the returning sludge inflow tube 4 pass;
- a single or multiple outflow tubes 6 which are installed and fixed on the principal axis 2 so as to rotate with the principal axis 2 and have one end connected with the retentive portion 5 directly and the other end installed in an inner and lower portion of the anaerobic reactor 1 and equipped with a porous tube which discharges a mixture of wastewater and returning sludge;
- an outflow device 7 which is installed on an upper portion of the anaerobic reactor 1 in order to discharge reaction water including some sludge into the aerobic reactor 20 and has a weir structure;
- and, a sludge condensing device 8 which is installed on a bottom part of the anaerobic reactor 1 and treats the sludge precipitated in the center of the anaerobic reactor 1 by using a gravitational force.
