Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A water treatment system includes a water treatment facility which has a coagulation treatment unit injecting a coagulant into water to be treated including oil components and performing coagulation treatment and a monitoring control device which has an oil water separating unit introducing a part of the supernatant water after the coagulation treatment by the coagulation treatment unit and separating the oil components and a deposition tank depositing soluble components dissolved in the supernatant water after separating the oil water. The monitoring control device has a control unit which controls an injection rate of the coagulant, on the basis of at least a deposition amount of the soluble components by the deposition tank.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A water treatment system comprising: a water treatment facility which has a coagulation treatment unit injecting a coagulant into water to be treated including oil components and supplying supernatant water after coagulation treatment for a treatment process of a rear step; and a monitoring control device which has an oil water separating unit introducing a part of the supernatant water after the coagulation treatment by the coagulation treatment unit and separating the oil components from the supernatant water and a deposition tank precipitating soluble components dissolved in the supernatant water after separating the oil water, wherein the monitoring control device has a control unit which controls an injection rate of the coagulant, on the basis of at least a deposition amount of the soluble components by the deposition tank. 2 . The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the monitoring control device includes a storage unit which stores at least a previously set deposition amount target value of the soluble components of the supernatant water and a measuring unit which measures the deposition amount of the soluble components by the deposition tank; and the control unit calculates the injection rate of the coagulant, on the basis of the deposition amount target value and a measurement value of the deposition amount by the measuring unit. 3 . The water treatment system according to claim 2 , wherein the coagulation treatment unit includes a flocculation tank which stirs the water to be treated including the oil components and the coagulant and a coagulant pump which injects a predetermined amount of coagulant into the coagulation tank from a coagulant tank; the storage unit previously stores a correlation relation of a difference of the deposition amount target value and the measurement value of the deposition amount and an increasing amount of the coagulant injection rate; and the control unit calculates the injection rate of the coagulant by a current value of the coagulant injection rate of the coagulation tank and the increasing amount of the coagulant injection rate obtained by the correlation relation and controls the coagulant pump such that the calculated injection rate is obtained. 4 . The water treatment system according to claim 3 , wherein the coagulation treatment unit includes a pH adjusting tank which is disposed on a front step of the coagulation tank and adjusts pH of the water to treated including the oil components and a pH adjuster pump which injects a predetermined amount of pH adjuster into the pH adjusting tank from a pH adjuster tank; and the control unit controls the pH adjuster pump, on the basis of the deposition amount target value and the measurement value of the deposition amount. 5 . The water treatment system according to claim 4 , wherein the storage unit previously stores a pH lower limit target value in the coagulation tank; and the control unit controls the pH adjuster pump, such that a pH value in the coagulation tank becomes the pH lower limit target value, when the measurement value of the deposition amount is less than the deposition amount target value. 6 . The water treatment system according to claim 5 , wherein the storage unit previously stores an upper limit of the coagulant; and the control unit outputs warning information, when the measurement value of the deposition amount is equal to or more than the deposition amount target value and a current value of the coagulant injection rate of the coagulation tank is more than the upper limit of the coagulant. 7 . The water treatment system according to claim 5 , wherein the storage unit previously stores an upper limit of the coagulant and a pH upper limit target value of the coagulation tank; and the control unit controls the pH adjuster pump, such that the pH value in the coagulation tank becomes the pH upper limit target value, when the measurement value of the deposition amount is equal to or more than the deposition amount target value and a current value of the coagulant injection rate of the coagulation tank is more than the upper limit of the coagulant. 8 . The water treatment system according to claim 6 , wherein the storage unit previously stores a correlation relation of a water temperature of the supernatant water after separating the oil water in the deposition tank and a deposition amount of the soluble components dissolved in the supernatant water; and the control unit controls the water temperature of the supernatant water in the deposition tank, on the basis of the correlation relation of the water temperature and the deposition amount. 9 . The water treatment system according to claim 7 , wherein the storage unit previously stores a correlation relation of a water temperature of the supernatant water after separating the oil water in the deposition tank and a deposition amount of the soluble components dissolved in the supernatant water; and the control unit controls the water temperature of the supernatant water in the deposition tank, on the basis of the correlation relation of the water temperature and the deposition amount. 10 . A monitoring control device comprising: an oil water separating unit which introduces supernatant water after coagulation treatment with respect to water to be treated including oil components and separates the oil components from the supernatant water; a deposition tank which deposits soluble components dissolved in the supernatant water after separating the oil water; and a control unit which calculates an injection rate of a coagulant to be injected into the water to be treated, on the basis of at least a deposition amount of the soluble components by the deposition tank. 11 . The monitoring control device according to claim 10 , further comprising: a storage unit which stores at least a previously set deposition amount target value of the soluble components of the supernatant water; and a measuring unit which measures the deposition amount of the soluble components by the deposition tank, wherein the control unit calculates the injection rate of the coagulant, on the basis of the deposition amount target value and the measurement value of the deposition amount by the measuring unit. 12 . The monitoring control device according to claim 11 , wherein the storage unit previously stores a correlation relation of a difference of the deposition amount target value and the measurement value of the deposition amount and an increasing amount of the injection rate of the coagulant injected in the coagulation treatment; and the control unit calculates the injection rate of the coagulant to be injected into the water to be treated, by a current value of the injection rate of the coagulant in the coagulation treatment and the increasing amount of the coagulant injection rate obtained by the correlation relation. 13 . The monitoring control device according to claim 12 , wherein the storage unit previously stores a pH lower limit target value of the water to be treated in the coagulation treatment; and the control unit sets the pH lower limit target value as a pH value of the water to be treated in the coagulation treatment, when the measurement value of the deposition amount is less than the deposition amount target value. 14 . The monitoring control device according to claim 13 , further comprising: a display unit, wherein the storage unit previously stores an upper limit of the coagulant; and the control unit displays warning information on the display unit, when the measurement value of the
