The effective way to solve this problem is to recycle domestic sewage, which is of great significance to alleviate the current situation of water shortage. Ultrafiltration membrane technology can effectively intercept particles in water with a particle size larger than the pore size of ultrafiltration membrane. It has the advantages of good water quality, small footprint, stable operation, easy automatic control, no phase change, and no secondary pollution. It has been widely used in the field of sewage recycling. However, during the long-term operation of the membrane, inorganic particles and colloidal viscous organic matter will accumulate on the membrane surface, and it is difficult to remove them with simple cleaning, gradually forming serious membrane pollution. In addition, defects in the membrane system and pretreatment design, human operation errors, extensive and delayed operation and maintenance management, etc. will aggravate the degree of membrane pollution. The decrease in membrane flux, increase in transmembrane pressure difference, and decrease in water quality caused by membrane fouling are the main problems faced during the operation of ultrafiltration process.

[0066] The ultrafiltration membrane pollution analysis subsystem includes a scanning electron microscope, an ICP-OES instrument, a three-dimensional fluorescence detector and a TOC detector, which are not shown in the figure.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] The present embodiment provides a method for improving the water production rate of a membrane system. The method adopts the system for improving the water production rate of a membrane system described in Example 1, and comprises the following steps: using the biofilter effluent water quality monitoring subsystem to monitor the water quality of the membrane system water in real time; if the water quality of the water production exceeds a threshold, using the ultrafiltration membrane pollution analysis subsystem to evaluate the membrane pollution, and formulating the operating parameters of the membrane workshop backwashing and dosing subsystem according to the evaluation results, and then backwashing the membrane assembly. The steps include:

[0069] S1: backwashing the membrane assembly: sequentially opening the four backwashing solenoid valves 4, the four dosing pumps 2, and the four backwashing pumps 5 to backwash the membrane assembly, and after the backwashing is completed, sequentially closing the four backwashing pumps 5, the four backwashing solenoid valves 4, and the four dosing pumps 2;

[0070] S2: Perform CIP cleaning on the membrane assembly: turn on the four dosing pumps 2, the CIP cleaning solenoid valve 8, and the CIP cleaning circulation pump 7 in sequence to perform CIP cleaning on the membrane assembly; after the CIP cleaning is completed, turn off the CIP cleaning circulation pump 7, the CIP cleaning solenoid valve 8, and the four dosing pumps 2 in sequence.

[0071] In this embodiment, when step S1 of backwashing the membrane assembly is started, step S2 of CIP cleaning the membrane assembly is turned off; when step S2 of CIP cleaning the membrane assembly is started, step S1 of backwashing the membrane assembly is turned off.

After cleaning, some of the blocked membrane pores are restored. The effect of cleaning with NaOH solution is better. Therefore, it is believed that when backwashing the membrane assembly, the membrane pore recovery effect will be better if the acid-base alternating cleaning method is adopted.

[0077] The step of analyzing inorganic pollutants on the membrane surface includes cleaning the membrane filament pollutants of the membrane assembly with hydrochloric acid and NaOH solutions respectively, and detecting the hydrochloric acid pollutant mixed solution and the NaOH pollutant mixed solution after cleaning respectively with the ICP-OES instrument. The detection results are shown in Table 1. Through the ICP-OES analysis, it can be found that the membrane filament pollutants include Ca, Fe, Al and Mn elements, and the concentration of metal elements in the hydrochloric acid pollutant mixed solution is higher than the concentration of metal elements in the NaOH pollutant mixed solution. The effect of acid washing is better than that of alkaline washing.

[0078] Table 1 Analysis of inorganic pollutants on membrane surface

[0079]

[0080] The steps of analyzing the organic pollutants on the membrane surface include respectively cleaning the membrane filament pollutants of the membrane assembly with hydrochloric acid and NaOH solution, respectively detecting the types of organic pollutants of the membrane assembly cleaned with hydrochloric acid and the types of organic pollutants of the membrane assembly cleaned with NaOH solution with the three-dimensional fluorescence detector, respectively detecting the contents of organic pollutants of the membrane assembly cleaned with hydrochloric acid and the contents of organic pollutants of the membrane assembly cleaned with NaOH solution with a TOC detector, and the test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3. It can be seen from the TOC and three-dimensional fluorescence results that the organic pollutants on the membrane filament surface are mainly proteins and microbial metabolites, and the contents of chemically cleanable organic pollutants are: 1670 mg / m 2 and 2016mg / m 2 , indicating that there are a large number of organic pollutants attached to the membrane surface, and alkaline washing is better than acid washing.

[0085]

[0086] The membrane performance analysis includes analysis of contact angle, tensile force at break, tensile strength at break, deformation and elongation at break;

[0087] The contact angle analysis step includes cleaning the membrane fiber contaminants of the membrane assembly with NaClO solution and citric acid solution, respectively, and detecting the contact angles of the membrane assembly before cleaning, the membrane assembly after cleaning with NaClO solution, and the membrane assembly after cleaning with citric acid solution, respectively. The test results are shown in Table 4.1. The concentration of the NaClO solution is 3000ppm, the mass percentage of citric acid in the citric acid solution is 2%, and the cleaning time of the NaClO solution and the citric acid solution is 4h. As shown in Table 4.1, the contaminants are gradually removed and the hydrophilicity is gradually improved. As shown in Table 4.2, the average tensile force at break of the membrane assembly before and after cleaning is 2.71N, which is the mechanical property of conventional wet ultrafiltration membrane fibers.

[0092] The step of cleaning and restoring the performance of the membrane system includes cleaning the membrane fiber contaminants of the membrane assembly with an acid-base combination agent, and comparing the membrane flux before and after cleaning;

[0093] This embodiment uses three acid-base solution combination agents for cleaning, namely, cleaning solution 1 of NaClO solution + citric acid solution combination, cleaning solution 2 of NaClO solution + oxalic acid solution combination, and cleaning solution 3 of NaClO solution + NaOH solution + oxalic acid solution combination; in each acid-base combination, the concentration of the NaClO solution is 3000ppm, the mass percentage of citric acid in the citric acid solution is 2%, and the mass percentage of oxalic acid in the oxalic acid solution is 2%;

[0094] The step of cleaning the membrane fiber contaminants of the membrane assembly by using an acid-base combination agent comprises cleaning the membrane fiber contaminants of the membrane assembly by using an alkaline solution agent and an acid solution agent in sequence, and the cleaning time of each solution agent is 4 hours;

[0095] The membrane flux results after cleaning with the above cleaning schemes 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Table 5. It can be seen from Table 5 that the membrane flux before cleaning is about 50LMH. The effect is better after cleaning with sodium hypochlorite, and the flux is restored to about 150LMH. After cleaning with citric acid, the flux is restored to about 270LMH. It can be seen that the membrane filaments under long-term accumulated pollution are seriously polluted by organic and inorganic pollution. As shown in Table 5, this embodiment mainly refers to the flux multiples after cleaning compared with before cleaning, that is, the average flux change.

[0096] Table 5 Membrane flux results after cleaning

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] According to the above results, the operating parameters of the membrane workshop backwashing and dosing subsystem are proposed as follows: the drug in the drug dosing room is NaClO solution, and the concentration of the NaClO solution is 50ppm; the flow rate of each NaClO solution is 700L / h, the backwashing time is 30min, the backwashing frequency of step 1 is 48 times / day, and the daily amount of NaClO for backwashing each membrane component is 2.6m 3 ;

[0100] The CIP cleaning time of step 2 is 90-180 minutes. The CIP cleaning of step 2 is performed every three days. The amount of NaClO used for backwashing each membrane component is 2500ppm.

[0101] The water production of the membrane workshop after backwashing the membrane assembly is changed as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the water production of the membrane workshop before the dotted line (i.e., the position close to the ordinate) is the water production of the membrane workshop without backwashing, and the water production of the membrane workshop after the dotted line (i.e., the position far from the ordinate) is the water production of the membrane workshop after backwashing. Figure 4 It can be seen that the ordinate represents the water production of the membrane workshop, and the abscissa represents time. After backwashing using the method of this embodiment, the water production of the membrane workshop increased from an average of 70,000 m3 per day to 3 / d increased to 110,000 m 3 / d.

[0102] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
