Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the methods disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2, although the cleaning effect is seen regarding the deposits deposited on the surface of the RO membrane, there is a problem: microorganisms, organic substances, and inorganic substances firmly adsorbed on the membrane surface If the cleaning effect is small, sufficient water recovery cannot be expected

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0033] like figure 1 As shown, the reverse osmosis membrane device 1 to which the operating method of the reverse osmosis membrane module of the present embodiment can be applied is provided with: a raw water tank 2 for storing raw water as water to be treated, and a reverse osmosis unit for separating raw water from the raw water tank 2 The membrane module 3 , the backwash water tank 4 that stores a part of permeated water of the reverse osmosis membrane module 3 , and the chemical tank 5 that stores chemicals added to the backwash water tank 4 .

[0034] The raw water tank 2 is connected to the reverse osmosis membrane module 3 via the first pump P1 and the raw water supply pipe 61 , and the raw water supply pipe 61 is provided with a first on-off valve 71 . In addition, the turbidity and TOC concentration of the raw water stored in the raw water tank 2 are not particularly limited. As the influent of the reverse osmosis membrane module 3, in particular, even relatively high...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0054] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

[0055] Such as figure 2 As shown, the reverse osmosis membrane device 10 to which the operating method of the reverse osmosis membrane module of the second embodiment can be applied includes: a raw water tank 12 for storing raw water as water to be treated; A membrane module 13 and a chemical tank 15 for storing chemicals.

[0056] The raw water tank 12 is connected to the reverse osmosis membrane module 13 via the first pump P11 and the raw water supply pipe 161 , and the raw water supply pipe 161 is provided with a first on-off valve 171 .

Abstract

A method of operating a reverse osmosis membrane module capable of recovering a sufficient quantity of water since an excellent washing effect can be obtained for the deposits deposited on the surface of a reverse osmosis membrane and also for the microorganisms, organic substances, and inorganic substances firmly adsorbed to the membrane surface of the reverse osmosis membrane. A part of the permeate from the reverse osmosis membrane module (3) is made to flow from the brine side to the water supply side of the reverse osmosis membrane module (3) at regular or irregular intervals by changing the reverse osmosis membrane module (3) from the normal operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a reverse osmosis membrane module. Background technique [0002] Spiral reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) is widely used in seawater desalination equipment, ultrapure water production equipment, medical water purification equipment, etc. because it is effective in removing ions and organic substances in raw water. For example, two RO membranes are stacked in a state where a water-permeable spacer is sandwiched, and three sides are sealed by bonding or the like in this state, and the remaining one side is connected to a water collection pipe. Then, one or more membranes are connected to a water collection pipe, and wound up with a raw water spacer arranged between the membranes, thereby obtaining a cylindrical RO membrane module. [0003] Raw water is supplied from one end face of the RO membrane module, and is discharged as concentrated water from the other end face while passing through the raw wat...
