Embodiment 1

[0092] The usage specification is as follows and has Image 6 with Figure 7 In the membrane filtration device of the structure shown in , agar water in which 1 ppm of agar was dissolved was passed at a constant flow rate of 10 m / day, thereby performing filtration. figure 1 The change in filtration pressure (differential pressure) at this time is shown in . Since the filtration pressure (differential pressure) increased after the operation, backwashing was performed with limonene-containing water containing 1000 ppm limonene after thirty minutes of operation. As a result, as figure 1As shown, the differential pressure returns to almost zero.

[0093] After running similarly for thirty minutes, a backwash was performed using a cleaning solution containing 20 ppm of sodium hypochlorite. As a result, as figure 1 As shown, the drop in differential pressure is small. This result indicates that significantly superior cleaning efficiency can be obtained using limonene-containin...

Embodiment 2

[0103] A membrane filtration device having the same specification as that used in Example 1 was used except that the filtration membrane (diameter: 2.3 mm) was made of POREFLON (PTFE) produced by Sumitomo Electric Fine Polymer Co., Ltd. and had a pore size of 1.5 μm, by passing seawater with a turbidity of 1.18 NTU (seawater obtained at Shimizu Port, Shizuoka Prefecture) at a constant flow rate of 10m / day to perform filtration. figure 2 The change in filtration pressure (differential pressure) at this time is shown in .

[0104] Thirty minutes after the start of the operation, backwash was performed using limonene-containing water containing 1000 ppm limonene, and ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 40 kHz and an output power of 300 W were applied for 30 seconds, followed by bubbling for 1 minute ( figure 2 middle (a)). Then, every 30 minutes of operation, three times of backwashing with water and cleaning by applying ultrasonic waves for 30 seconds, followed by air bubbli...

Embodiment 3

[0108] Using a membrane filtration device with the same specifications as the membrane filtration device used in Example 1 (the pore size of the membrane is 2.0 μm), make the water with agar added (agar content is 1 ppm) with a turbidity of 0.24 NTU at a constant rate of 10 m / day. Traffic passes through, thereby filtering. image 3 The change in filtration pressure (differential pressure) at this time is shown in .

[0109] Thirty minutes after the start of operation, a backwash was performed for 30 seconds using a cleaning solution containing 20 ppm of sodium hypochlorite. Thirty minutes after the operation again (60 minutes after the start of the operation), backwashing was performed for 30 seconds using limonene-containing water containing 1000 ppm limonene. Such as figure 1 As shown, the reduction of differential pressure when using sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution for cleaning is small, and when using limonene-containing water for cleaning, the cleaning effect of ma...

Abstract

Provided is a method for cleaning a hydrophobic filter membrane which was used for filtering raw water containing jelly suspended components, such as seawater, wastewater, or ballast water, and which has been clogged with the suspended matter that was contained in the raw water, characterized by bringing the filter membrane into contact with limonene-containing water or by backwashing the filter membrane with a cleaning fluid and then either applying an air-containing flow to the surface of the filter membrane or jetting a water flow from an eductor nozzle against the filter membrane. The method for cleaning a hydrophobic filter membrane is highly effective in recovering the treatment rate (or filtration pressure). Even when water passing and cleaning by the cleaning method are repeated, the filtration pressure does not tend to increase. A membrane filter is also provided with which it is possible to efficiently implement this cleaning method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a filter membrane cleaning method in membrane filtration. Specifically, since the pores of the filter membrane are blocked by suspended matter in the water to be treated during the membrane filtration process, resulting in a decrease in the treatment flow rate (or an increase in the filtration pressure), the present invention relates to the recovery of the treatment flow rate (or filtration pressure) And carry out filter membrane cleaning method. The present invention also relates to a membrane filtration device capable of effectively carrying out the cleaning method. Background technique [0002] Membrane filtration using hydrophobic filtration membranes such as hollow fiber membranes and membranes has been widely performed to remove suspended matter contained in seawater, discharge water, ballast water, and the like. However, in seawater, there is about 1 ppm to several ppm of a viscous substance called TEP (Transparent Ext...
