Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reverse osmosis membrane performance optimization, and in particular to a control method and device for reverse osmosis membrane performance optimization. Background Art

[0002] Reverse osmosis membrane is a semipermeable membrane that only allows solvents to pass through, and has a high retention rate for solutes such as salts, organic matter, microorganisms, etc. Its pore size is very small, generally at the nanometer level. The operation of the reverse osmosis membrane is based on the principle of osmotic pressure. When the pure solvent and the solution are separated by a semipermeable membrane, the pure solvent will diffuse through the semipermeable membrane to the solution side. This phenomenon is called osmosis. If a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied to one side of the solution, the solvent will flow from the solution side through the semipermeable membrane to the pure solvent side. This is reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis membrane technology has extremely wide applications in many fields, such as drinking water purification, industrial water treatment, seawater desalination, and wastewater treatment and reuse.

[0003] During actual operation, the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane will be affected by many factors and gradually decline, among which the water quality of the inlet water is a major influencing factor. Excessive turbidity and suspended solids content of the inlet water will lead to physical blockage on the membrane surface. Silt, colloidal particles, etc. in the water will be deposited on the membrane surface to form a filter cake layer, increasing the resistance of the membrane and reducing the water flux. Even a small amount of large particles may scratch the membrane surface and destroy the structural integrity of the membrane. In addition, the water quality of the water source is not static. Whether it is surface water or groundwater, its composition may fluctuate due to seasonal changes, environmental pollution or other factors. Therefore, in order to improve the working efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane and extend its service life, its performance needs to be optimized. Summary of the invention

[0019] Compared with the known prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The present invention can preliminarily screen the water source to be entered into the body through the filter detection component, so as to remove impurities and large particles in the water, which is conducive to better control of water quality in the future.

When the internal suspended matter content of the incoming water source is high, the controller will start the electric push rod to operate the feeding component after receiving the signal and making a judgment, and additional flocculant will be added into the body. The additional flocculant can improve the effect of flocculation and sedimentation to remove suspended matter, thereby reducing the turbidity of the incoming water source and achieving control of the water quality of the incoming water source.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the device is connected between the water source and the reverse osmosis membrane, and the water quality of the water source of the reverse osmosis membrane is controlled by the device. The water source enters the body 1 through the water inlet pipe 2, and the large particles and impurities contained therein will be screened out by the sieve plate 4 to achieve preliminary filtration. The first shell 5 is filled with activated carbon, which is mainly used to remove the flocculents after the suspended matter is flocculated, and at the same time increase the residence time of the water source in the body 1 to improve the flocculation effect. When the water source enters the body 1, the motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 drives multiple stirring blades 11 to rotate to improve the flocculation effect of the flocculant.

Under the action of gravity, it will fall into the material transport trough 22 of the moving block 16 through the feed pipe 18 and the feed trough 17. The electric push rod 15 controls the moving block 16 to move toward the discharge trough 20. When the material transport trough 22 and the discharge trough 20 have an overlapping part, the flocculant inside the material transport trough 22 will fall into the machine body 1 through the discharge pipe 21 under the action of gravity. When the moving block 16 moves, the baffle 23 moves with it to block the feed trough 17, which can avoid There is no leakage or waste of flocculant. After the feeding is completed, the moving block 16 will return to its original position driven by the electric push rod 15. When the material transport trough 22 overlaps with the feeding trough 17, the flocculant will enter the material transport trough 22 through the feeding pipe 18 and the feeding trough 17 again to achieve re-loading and prepare for the next flocculant feeding. After the fed flocculant enters the body 1, it will flocculate and precipitate with the suspended matter in the incoming water source under the stirring of the stirring component, thereby reducing the turbidity of the water source, achieving the control of the water quality of the incoming water source, and also achieving the optimization of the subsequent reverse osmosis membrane performance.
