Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drinking water purification, in particular to a mobile hollow fiber reverse osmosis device. Background Art

[0002] Reverse osmosis, also known as reverse osmosis, is a membrane separation technology that uses pressure difference as a driving force to separate solvents from solutions. When pressure is applied to the original solution on one side of the membrane, when the pressure exceeds its osmotic pressure, the solvent will reversely penetrate in the direction of natural penetration. As a result, the permeated solvent, i.e., the permeate, is obtained on the low-pressure side of the membrane; the concentrated solution, i.e., the concentrate, is obtained on the high-pressure side.

[0003] In the existing reverse osmosis purification structure for drinking water, there are certain deficiencies in the diversion structure for concentrated water and fresh water. There is no air washing and backwashing process, which leads to membrane clogging. Although chemical cleaning (forward washing) can alleviate the problem, the desalination rate of the membrane gradually decreases after cleaning, resulting in poor treatment effect. Therefore, corresponding improvements need to be made to the membrane structure and treatment process. Summary of the invention

[0008] One side of the reverse osmosis membrane element is connected to a concentrated water pipe, and the concentrated water pipe is connected to a drain pipe;

[0009] The unique backwash process developed for the reverse osmosis membrane element will not degrade the recovery rate of the membrane;

[0010] The mobile hollow fiber reverse osmosis device comprises a reverse osmosis membrane element, which is equidistantly arranged on one side of a frame. Joints are symmetrically installed at the four ends of the reverse osmosis membrane element. During operation, three ends are connected to pipelines, air washing enters from the water inlet, one side of the concentrated water joints on both sides is connected to the concentrated water pipe, and the other side of the joints is blocked, the water outlet is connected to the water outlet, and the backwash enters from the water outlet. The effect of backwashing is better after adding medicine. A dosing device is provided, and the drainage is collected and uniformly discharged outside the pilot device.

[0011] Preferably, the reverse osmosis assembly comprises a membrane shell in which reverse osmosis membrane filaments are loaded, and a membrane element is obtained after packaging.

[0012] Preferably, the unique backwashing process of the reverse osmosis guarantees the desalination rate and recovery rate of the membrane to a certain extent.

[0013] Preferably, the reverse osmosis membrane fibers are evenly distributed in the membrane shell, and a circular tube is connected at the center, and the circular tube is connected to one side of the water production pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the water inlet of the membrane element is provided with an air washing process, which effectively removes pollutants and scaling on the membrane surface by shaking the membrane filaments.

[0015] Preferably, the unique design concept and integration process are convenient for transportation, beautiful and elegant, and also interchangeable.

[0017] Preferably, the membrane inlet and outlet pipelines of the device form parallel passages, and the raw water is evenly distributed through the inlet water after being diverted.

[0018] The setting of the pilot plant in the present invention enables the pipelines of the entire reverse osmosis pilot plant to form parallel passages. The raw water will be evenly distributed through the inlet water after being diverted, so that the filtering capacity of the reverse osmosis membrane element can be fully exerted, and the separation degree of concentrated water and fresh water is high. The design of the backwash system and the air washing system effectively solves the pollution and scaling of the membrane and successfully extends the service life of the membrane. The hollow fiber reverse osmosis membrane adapts to the characteristics of fast fresh water flow rate, and the concentrated water is discharged through the high concentrated water outlet, which further improves the aggregation degree of ions in the concentrated water. As the aggregation degree of concentrated water increases, the corresponding residual ions in the output of fresh water are also less, and the purity is further improved.
