Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of MBR curtain membranes, and in particular to a cleaning device and method for MBR curtain membranes. Background Art

[0002] MBR curtain membrane is a special type of membrane structure used in MBR membrane bioreactor (Membrane Bio-Reactor) system. It consists of multiple flat membrane units arranged vertically, and its shape is similar to curtains, hence the name "curtain membrane". This design increases the membrane area per unit volume and improves the filtration efficiency. MBR curtain membrane has been widely used in sewage treatment systems in various industries in my country, and is particularly suitable for the treatment of urban domestic sewage and industrial wastewater.

[0003] When treating sewage, cleaning of MBR curtain membrane is an important part to maintain its efficient operation and extend its service life. At present, MBR curtain membrane mainly includes two categories: physical cleaning and chemical cleaning. Physical cleaning is to remove pollutants on the membrane surface through mechanical force. Commonly used methods include online air cleaning, online water backwashing and direct removal cleaning. The online cleaning method mainly uses air flow or water flow to flush the membrane surface, but it is not effective for cleaning stubborn stains. Sometimes the membrane components need to be disassembled one by one and placed in the cleaning tank for cleaning, which makes the entire membrane group of the station temporarily unable to filter, affecting the overall filtration and purification efficiency while further increasing the complexity and tediousness of the cleaning process.
