[0033] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention is beneficial in that:
[0034] The present invention provides a digital monitoring and control method for a separation membrane housing stack. By real-time monitoring of parameters such as pressure, flow rate and pressure difference of the raw water pipeline, digital monitoring of the operation status of the separation membrane housing stack is achieved, effectively avoiding problems such as membrane element contamination and blockage that cause system performance degradation. This method improves the reliability and operation efficiency of the system by providing accurate real-time data.
[0035] The system of the present invention can automatically add chemical agents during cleaning or maintenance, simplifying manual operations, reducing maintenance costs and improving the automation level of the system. This function ensures that the membrane elements can be cleaned in time under different working conditions, thereby extending the system's life.
[0036] Through the linkage control of the system and sensors, automatic adjustment of high-pressure water pumps and valves is achieved. The system can automatically adjust the flow and pressure according to different operating conditions, reduce the frequency of manual control, and maintain a stable operating state, thereby significantly improving the overall performance of the system and ease of operation.
[0037] The system can detect the contamination of membrane elements in real time and perform cleaning operations in time to avoid performance degradation caused by membrane contamination or blockage. This function not only reduces the maintenance frequency, but also extends the service life of membrane elements and reduces the cost of replacing membrane elements.
[0038] The present invention realizes automatic control through the cooperation of sensors and control systems. The sensors monitor various key parameters in real time and automatically adjust the operation of high pressure, valves and dosing devices through the control system, reducing the influence of operators. Control reduces the risk of manual misoperation and improves operating efficiency.
[0039] The system ensures that the separation membrane shell stack is always in the best working condition by real-time monitoring and adjusting operating parameters such as pressure, flow and pressure difference. This precise control method improves water treatment efficiency, while ensuring the quality stability of produced water and concentrated water, further improving the overall water treatment effect of the system.
[0040] The present invention can monitor abnormal conditions in the system in real time (such as reminding membrane elements, excessive pressure or abnormal flow, etc.) through differential pressure and pressure sensors. When an abnormality is detected, the system will automatically send out an alarm signal, and the operator will handle it in time to avoid sudden system failures that lead to production interruptions or losses, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the system.
[0041] The automatic dosing device cooperates with the intelligent control system to automatically perform dosing operations when the system is cleaned, and the operator does not need to perform tedious drug handling work. At the same time, the real-time monitoring function provides accurate operation data and status reports, simplifies the maintenance process, and improves the convenience of system maintenance.

If new sensors or control technologies are introduced in the future, the system can be easily upgraded to ensure its technological leadership and long-term use value.
[0043] The monitoring and control method of the present invention realizes automatic operation by using sensors to monitor the key parameters of the system (such as water inlet pressure, flow, membrane element pressure difference and water production flow) in real time, combined with the automatic adjustment of the high-pressure pump and valve by the control system. This approach reduces manual intervention, improves the automation level of the system, and reduces the complexity of operation and maintenance.
[0044] The system can accurately control the operating speed of the high-pressure pump and automatically adjust the pump power according to the real-time monitored pressure and flow, thus avoiding energy waste. Compared with the traditional fixed power operation mode, the system can optimize energy utilization and achieve high efficiency and energy saving.
[0045] The automatic cleaning function starts cleaning in time when the membrane element is detected to be blocked, preventing the membrane element from being in a high pressure difference state for a long time, reducing equipment noise and unnecessary replacement. Through regular cleaning, the service life of the membrane element can be extended and the operating cost can be reduced.
[0046] Through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of various parameters, the system effectively reduces the risk of emergencies caused by improper operation or equipment failure, ensures the stable operation of the system under various abnormal working conditions, and can respond to situations faster and more accurately.
[0047] The system can monitor the pressure difference of the membrane elements and accurately locate which membrane element is blocked or punctured, thus avoiding unnecessary overall cleaning or replacement, reducing the time per hour and improving maintenance efficiency.
[0048] The system also monitors the water flow and conductivity to ensure that the water quality always meets the set standards. If the water quality does not meet the standards, the system will automatically alarm and remind the operator to perform maintenance to ensure efficient and continuous water treatment.
[0049] The present invention reduces system maintenance and manpower input, and the timely automatic cleaning function reduces the possibility of membrane element damage, prolongs its service life, and reduces equipment replacement costs and consumables manpower.

[0108] The control method of the above device is:
[0109] Brief description: This technical solution involves the use of sensors, control modules and digital monitoring systems to achieve real-time monitoring and automatic control of the separation membrane shell stack. During operation, by collecting and analyzing data such as flow, pressure, conductivity, etc., the operating status of the system can be judged in a timely manner, and the high-pressure pump and valve can be automatically adjusted according to the set parameters to ensure the stable operation of the system. For abnormal conditions such as fouling and breakdown of membrane elements, the system can also respond accordingly, such as alarming, automatic cleaning or stopping operation.
[0110] Step 1: Add water
[0111] Brief description: Inject make-up water (usually seawater) into the raw water tank through a soft water pipe, monitor the tank liquid level, and ensure that the water level in the tank is within a safe range.
[0112] The system opens the water replenishment valve in the soft water pipeline through a control program to introduce replenishment water (such as seawater) into the raw water tank.
[0113] During the water replenishment process, the liquid level sensor in the water tank monitors the water level in real time. When the water level in the water tank reaches the set height, the system automatically closes the water replenishment valve and stops replenishing water to ensure that the water level is within a safe range and avoid failures or low water levels affecting system operation.
[0114] Step 2: Open the concentrated water pipeline and the produced water pipeline valves
[0115] Simply open the designated valve of the brine discharge pipeline, the ball valve at the brine pressure of the membrane module, and the ball valve on the produced water outlet pipeline to prepare the flow path for the produced water and brine.
[0116] The operator manually or through program control first opens the air extraction valve on the concentrate discharge pipeline and the ball valve at the concentrate pressure of the valve membrane group to ensure that the concentrate can be discharged smoothly after being filtered by the membrane element.
[0117] At the same time, the ball valve on the water outlet pipe is also opened to ensure that the filtered water can flow normally into the water collection pipe.
[0118] Step 3: Open the raw water inlet pipe and high-pressure pump inlet valve
[0119] Brief description: Open the raw water inlet pipeline, the low-pressure switch ball valve at the high-pressure pump inlet and the membrane module inlet pressure ball valve to prepare for the filtration of raw water.
[0120] After the system is started, open the ball valve on the raw water inlet pipe, the low-pressure switch ball valve at the inlet of the high-pressure pump, and the membrane group inlet pressure ball valve in turn.
[0121] The raw water enters the membrane stack from the raw water tank through the water inlet pipe. Before that, the raw water will pass through the filter in the water pipe to ensure that the water quality meets the requirements before entering the membrane element.
[0122] Step 4: Start the high-pressure pump and push the raw water into the membrane stack
[0123] Simple
[0124] Start the high-pressure pump to push the raw water through the filter and into the membrane stack.
[0125] The system starts the high-pressure pump, and uses the power of the high-pressure pump to send the raw water in the raw water tank through pipes and filters into the membrane stack.
[0126] Driven by a high-pressure pump, the raw water enters the membrane elements in the membrane group for filtration to separate produced water and concentrated water.
[0127] Step 5: Monitor and adjust the membrane module inlet water pressure and flow
[0128] Brief description: Monitor the water inlet pressure and flow of the membrane module in real time, and maintain stable operating parameters by adjusting the high-pressure pump and pumping valve.
[0129] The system monitors the inlet pressure and flow rate of the membrane module in real time through the inlet pressure sensor and flow meter.
[0130] If the flow exceeds the optimal water inlet pressure or set value, the system adjusts the high-pressure water pump through the high-pressure pump's frequency conversion controller to control the water inlet pressure and flow to ensure that the system operates in the best condition.
[0131] Step 6: Monitor module pressure difference and water flow
[0132] Brief description: Real-time monitoring of the overload pressure difference and water production flow of membrane elements to ensure the normal operation of the membrane group and prevent fouling or breakdown.
[0133] The system monitors the pressure difference of each membrane element through the membrane element pressure difference sensor to ensure the normal operation of the membrane element. When the membrane element pressure difference exceeds the set value, the system will issue an alarm signal and stop running.
[0134] At the same time, the water flow meter will continuously monitor the water flow of the membrane group. If the water flow is abnormal (too high or too low), the system will issue a water quality detection notice, indicating that there may be water quality problems.
[0135] Step 7: Automatic cleaning under abnormal conditions or frequently
[0136] Brief description: When the membrane element is blocked or punctured, the system will automatically take cleaning measures or maintenance, and prompt the specific location of the faulty membrane element.
[0137] If the monitored water flow rate drops by 10% or the pressure difference of the membrane element reaches 0.04MPa, the system will start the automatic cleaning function. The concentrated water and produced water will flow back to the water tank through the bypass pipeline, and chemical agents will be added to the water tank for cleaning. After completion, the system will automatically flush the pipeline to ensure that there is no chemical residue.
[0138] If a membrane element breaks down, and the system detects that the air pressure deviation of the membrane element is abnormally low or the conductivity of the produced water exceeds the set value, the system will automatically stop the water supply and alarm to indicate the specific damaged membrane element, so that it can be replaced in time.
[0139] Furthermore, the sensor includes a pressure sensor, a flow meter and a differential pressure transmitter 1-1.
[0140] Furthermore, it also includes a high-pressure water pump 3 connected to the raw water pipeline 2 for increasing the pressure of the raw water.
[0141] Furthermore, it also includes an automatic dosing device for automatically adding chemicals when the device is cleaned or maintained.
[0142] Furthermore, the separation membrane housing stack 1 includes a plurality of membrane elements, and the voltage difference of each membrane element is monitored by a differential pressure transmitter 1 - 1 to determine the operating state of the membrane element.
[0143] Furthermore, a switch valve is installed on the raw water pipeline 2 for controlling the flow in the raw water pipeline 2 according to the sensor signal.
[0144] Furthermore, the control system 6 is implemented by an input logic controller.
[0145] Furthermore, a water tank 8 is included for storing raw water.
[0146] Furthermore, a device frame 7 is included to provide physical support for the device.

[0148] Steps for collecting raw water levels;
[0149] The steps of collecting and responding to valve opening signals;
[0150] Steps for collecting and responding to raw water inlet signals;

[0157] Implementation Method XI: Combination Figure 1-4 This embodiment is described in detail by using specific examples to further describe the technical solution provided above. Specifically:
[0158] The water circuit sequence of the device is:
[0159] Water tank 8: As the water source of the system, it stores raw water.
[0160] Raw water pipeline: The raw water in the water tank 8 enters the system through the raw water pipeline and flows to the high-pressure water pump 3.
[0161] High-pressure water pump 3: The raw water passes through the high-pressure water pump 3 tower before entering the separation membrane shell stack 1 to reach the pressure required for reverse osmosis or other membrane separation.
[0162] Separation membrane shell stack 1: The raw water after dismantling enters the separation membrane shell stack 1 through the raw water pipeline for membrane separation. This produces two parts: produced water and concentrated water.
[0163] Water production pipeline: The water produced after membrane separation is collected and output to the system through the water production pipeline.
[0164] Brine pipeline: The remaining brine passes through the brine pipeline breathing system.
[0165] Water tank 8 → raw water pipeline → high-pressure water pump 3 → separation membrane housing stack 1 → produced water pipeline / concentrated water pipeline.
[0166] The detailed implementation method is:
[0167] Waterway layout
[0168] The water in the device is used to store raw water, and the raw water is transported to the high-pressure water pump 3 through the raw water pipeline.
[0169] The high-pressure water pump 3 pressurizes the raw water to achieve the pressure required for regulation.
[0170] After passing through the separation membrane shell stack 1, the raw water is separated into produced water and concentrated water, which disappear through the produced water pipeline 5 and the concentrated water pipeline 4 respectively.
[0171] Sensor placement
[0172] Pressure sensors, flow meters and differential pressure sensors are installed on the raw water pipeline, produced water pipeline and concentrated water pipeline respectively to monitor the system operation status in real time.
[0173] The differential pressure sensor is particularly used to monitor the pressure difference of the membrane element to determine the operating status of the membrane element.
[0174] Control system 6 design
[0175] The control system 6 is electrically connected to the sensor through the PLC unit, receives real-time data, and determines the working status of the system based on the data.
[0176] The system automatically controls the operation of the high-pressure valve, as well as the actions of the switch and automatic dosing device according to different operating conditions.
[0177] Automatic dosing and cleaning
[0178] When the system is cleaned or maintained, the automatic dosing device automatically adds the chemical agents for the cleaning operation of the membrane elements according to the instructions of the control system 6.
[0179] Specifically, the operation steps are:
[0180] Step 1: Introduce supplementary water (usually seawater) into the raw water tank 8 through the soft water pipe 2.
[0181] Step 2: Open the valve on the concentrated water pipeline 4 and the ball valve at the concentrated water pressure of the membrane group 1.
[0182] Step 3: Open the ball valve on the produced water outlet pipeline 5.
[0183] Step 4: Open the ball valve on the raw water inlet pipe 2, the low-pressure switch ball valve on the inlet of the high-pressure pump 3, and the water inlet pressure ball valve of the membrane group 1.
[0184] Step 5: Start the high-pressure pump 3 , and the raw water passes through the pipeline filter in the raw water tank 8 and then enters the membrane stack 1 through the pipeline 2 .
[0185] Step 6: The raw water is filtered through the membrane elements in the membrane stack 1 , the concentrated water is discharged through the concentrated water drainage pipe 4 , and the produced water is collected through the produced water outlet pipe 5 .
[0186] Step 7: Monitor the flow data of the water production flow meter of membrane group 1, and monitor the pressure difference of the membrane module waterfall through the differential pressure table 1-1, the pressure taking tee 1-2 and the hydraulic top 1-3.
[0187] Digital monitoring and control system:
[0188] Step 1: When the water tank liquid level 6 monitors in real time that the water tank 8 liquid level reaches the program-set height, the control system 6 will automatically close the water replenishment valve.
[0189] Step 5: Through dual monitoring of the water tank level sensor 6 and the low-pressure switch at the inlet of the high-pressure pump 3, when the water tank 8 liquid level is lower than the set value or the inlet pressure of the high-pressure pump 3 is lower than the set value, the control system 6 will automatically shut down the high-pressure pump 3.
[0190] Step 6: The control system 6 monitors the inlet flow rate, inlet pressure, concentrate pressure and concentrate flow rate of the membrane group 1 in real time, and makes corresponding controls:
[0191] Case 1: When the water inlet flow rate and the water inlet pressure are both lower than or equal to the set value, the control system 6 adjusts the pump speed through the frequency conversion controller of the high-pressure pump 3 to adjust the water inlet flow rate and control the pressure.
[0192] Control situation 2: When the inlet water flow rate reaches the set value but the inlet water pressure is no longer the set value, the control system 6 adjusts the inlet water pressure by adjusting the opening and closing degree of the valve of the concentrated water discharge pipeline 4.
[0193] Control situation three: when the inlet water pressure reaches the set value but the inlet water flow rate deviates from the set value, the control system 6 adjusts the inlet water flow rate by adjusting the valve of the concentrated water discharge pipeline 4.
[0194] Control situation 4: If the monitored pressure difference of the membrane element 1-1 deviates from the set value, the control system 6 will automatically issue an alarm.
[0195] Control situation five: When the water flow rate is detected to exceed or fall below the set value, the control system 6 will automatically issue a water quality detection notification.
[0196] Step 7: The control system 6 monitors the water flow rate of the membrane group 1, the voltage difference of the membrane element 1-1 and the conductivity of the water in real time to determine the fouling and breakdown of the membrane element and make corresponding controls:
[0197] Control flow situation 1: When the produced water drops by 10% or the pressure difference of membrane element 1-1 through the waterfall reaches 0.04MPa, the control system 6 will start the automatic cleaning function, the concentrated water and produced water bypass pipeline will flow back to the water tank 8, and the remote chemical agent will be added for cleaning. After cleaning, the control system 6 will empty the chemical water in the water tank 8 and flush the entire system to remove residual chemicals.
[0198] Case 2: When the pressure difference of the water pump controlling the membrane element 1-1 is lower than 0.005MPa, the conductivity of the produced water exceeds the set value or the produced water flow rate suddenly increases, the control system 6 determines that the membrane element is broken down. At this time, the control system 6 will automatically close the water inlet of the membrane group 1 and issue an alarm to indicate the specific location of the damaged membrane element to improve replacement efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
[0199] The traditional membrane stack cannot detect the extreme pressure difference of each membrane element 1-1, and cannot accurately determine which membrane element is blocked or broken, which often leads to blind cleaning or replacement of spare parts, which wastes a lot of manpower and material resources and increases theft time. The control system 6 can accurately determine the problem during online operation, reduce the shortest time and improve operation efficiency.
