Compact membrane unit and methods

Modular or cartridge-type membrane units utilize hollow, cylindrical tubular housings or receivers to house strings of removable membrane modules (elements) and normally comprise arrays of pipes that act as membrane module housings. A pseudo header for fluidly interconnecting the array of pipes reduces weight and cost. The pseudo header may comprise portions that are buried within skid components such as the toe bar. An internal low friction coating permits a larger number of membrane cartridges to be utilized in any cylindrical tubular membrane housing. A center feed pseudo header permits flow in two directions through the tubular membrane housing to double hydraulic capacity.

Underwater sub-wavelength resolution ratio three-dimensional imaging method

The invention discloses an underwater sub-wavelength resolution ratio three-dimensional imaging method. The underwater sub-wavelength resolution ratio three-dimensional imaging method includes the following steps: (1) a sound signal is emitted; (2) acoustic lens wave beams are formed; (3) the sound signal is received and adjusted; (4) an image is processed and displayed. A two dimensional datum is obtained according to an imaging rule of an acoustic lens, a distance datum is obtained by utilizing an emission time and a receiving time, and a three dimensional underwater sound datum is obtained by combining with an electric signal received by a underwater sound sensor. The three dimensional underwater sound image datum undergoes image enhancement and image segmentation and a three dimensional image of a target is achieved by use of an open-sourcing visualization program library visualization toolkit (VTK). A reflected sound wave is focused through the acoustic lens and forms the wave beam. Hardware circuits of a normal imaging system are greatly reduced. A sub-wavelength image is achieved due to the characteristic of negative refraction of a phonon crystal. The novel underwater sound sensor with a mesoscopic pressure resistance is utilized, the underwater sound sensor responds to an underwater sound signal well, and a faint underwater signal can be effectively transformed.
