Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the sewage treatment technical field, and in particular to a sewage treatment device with a flat membrane module. BACKGROUND

[0002] Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is a technology that combines biological treatment technology and membrane separation technology. According to the structure of the membrane, it can be divided into flat membranes, tubular membranes and hollow fiber membranes. Flat membranes are widely used due to their high mechanical strength, strong anti-pollution ability and resistance to breakage. The flat membrane module is arranged in the sewage tank through a frame structure. After long-term use, problems such as membrane pollution and membrane rupture inevitably occur. The treatment method for membrane pollution often requires isolating the membrane module from the membrane tank and then cleaning the surface of the membrane module. This is a typical offline cleaning method. Although the offline cleaning method has strong cleaning specificity, it has the problems of low efficiency and long time consumption. In order to solve the above problems, the online cleaning method emerges as the times require. It does not need to isolate and disassemble the membrane module, which reduces the workload to a certain extent. However, the existing online cleaning method lacks cleaning specificity. At the same time, once the membrane ruptures, there is a lack of monitoring and emergency measures, which leads to the discharge of the treated sewage that does not meet the standards due to inaccurate judgment, causing environmental pollution.
