This project had improved the water quality of the Liuyang River Basin, realized the clear water and blue sky, and made every citizen live at ease.

2. Improve watershed ecological environment

After the completion of Xianghu WWTP, the aquatic ecosystem in the watershed will be restored and improved, and the biodiversity of Liuyang River basin will be enriched, thus forming a stable watershed ecosystem. It was of far-reaching significance to improve the living environment of Hunan cities, enhance the quality of cities, and the construction of the environment-friendly and energy-saving society in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration.

Responsible use of resources :

This project adopted a variety of new energy-saving equipment, new technology and new measures. Under the design water quality and existing site conditions, the overall process was simulated iteratively using Biowin software based on the ASM kinetic model of the activated sludge system. Finally, the process conditions and operating parameters that can meet the standards stably and at the same time save electricity and chemical agent consumption, and the construction drawing design was completed accordingly.

 After the upgrading and reconstruction of this project, the power consumption was 0.46 kW·h /m3. At present, the power consumption of WWTPs using membrane treatment process in China was between 0.50 and 0.60 kW·h/m3. Comparative analysis showed that the energy consumption of this project was reasonably low. The minimum annual energy saving of the project was 2 million kW·h / a, and the annual electricity saving is 1.6 million yuan.

At the same time, the amount of PAC and carbon source was controlled below 30 mg/L. Compared with other projects of similar water quality, PAC and carbon source can be saved about 20 mg/L. The annual saving of PAC and carbon source was about 1000 t, which was about RMB2.5 million yuan.

Testimony / Feedback

Description :

1. Provide experience for upgrading and reconstruction of WWTP

Changsha Xianghu WWTP was designed in 1992. The effluent quality met the first level B standard of Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). The effluent flows into Liuyang River and then into Xiangjiang River. With the completion of the Xiangjiang Changsha comprehensive hub, the self-purification capacity of the Xiangjiang Changsha section had decreased, which had posed a serious threat to the safety of drinking water in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan reservoir area. Therefore, the Xianghu WWTP was in urgent need of upgrading. In this project, the AAO + MBR process was selected as the upgrading and reconstruction process of Changsha Xianghu WWTP. The effluent quality was excellent and met the quasi-IV standard of Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB 3838-2002), which could be directly reused. Based on the activated sludge-anaerobic digestion (ASDM) kinetic model, the Biowin software was used to simulate the whole process repeatedly in the early stage of the design. Finally, the process conditions and operating parameters that can not only meet the standard stably, but also save the power consumption and chemical agent consumption, and the optimization design was completed accordingly.

 (2) Provide a method for the construction of urban sewage treatment plant

Xianghu WWTP was built in the suburbs, surrounded by fish ponds, wasteland, etc. With the development of the city, the surrounding area of the plant had become a high-rise urban commercial and residential area, led to a shortage of land for this project. In order to effectively utilize the site, the original buildings and structures in the plant were firstly retained as far as possible during the design process. The new MBR structures integrated the aerobic tank, membrane tank, blower room, pump room, equipment room, dosing room, power distribution room and other functions, and carried out a fully integrated design. At the same time, the odor and noise pollution control measures were further strengthened to avoid the impact on the surrounding environment.
