Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of membrane separation water treatment, and in particular to an ultrafiltration system and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ultrafiltration is an advanced membrane separation water treatment technology that can effectively remove particles, colloids, bacteria, heat sources and organic matter in water, while solute molecules larger than the membrane pore size are retained by the membrane into a concentrated solution. Submerged ultrafiltration membrane belongs to a mechanical filtration method, which is a screening process related to the membrane pore size, with the pressure difference on both sides of the membrane as the driving force. During the operation of submerged ultrafiltration, the water produced uses a water pump to pump the raw water in the pool, and then the water produced passes through the membrane surface under the action of atmospheric pressure, flows into the water production pipe, and enters the water production pool.

[0003] Although the driving force of ultrafiltration water production is atmospheric pressure, in actual operation, even if a water pump is used for suction throughout the process, the maximum vacuum is only approximately equal to 1 atmospheric pressure. In addition, the lifting pump consumes a lot of power, and the operating power consumption cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0024] Embodiment 1

By arranging the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2, the water production pool 3, the water production pipe and the siphon device 4, the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 is used to filter water, and the filtered water flows into the water production pool 3 under the action of gravity and the siphon device 4, without the need for additional power equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0026] In a preferred scheme of the present embodiment, the height difference between the bottom of the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 and the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3 is 6 to 8 m. Setting the height difference between the bottom of the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 and the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3 to 6 to 8 m can ensure that the water production main pipe 6 is in a half-pipe water free outflow state, thereby improving the water production efficiency and realizing energy saving by utilizing gravity.

[0027] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the water production pipe includes a water production branch pipe 5 and a water production main pipe 6. One end of the water production branch pipe 5 is connected to the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the water production main pipe 6. The water outlet of the water production main pipe 6 extends into the water production pool 3, and the height of the water outlet of the water production main pipe 6 is higher than the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3. The water production pipe is divided into the water production branch pipe 5 and the water production main pipe 6, which can better distribute the water flow and improve the stability of water production. The water outlet height of the water production main pipe 6 is higher than the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3, ensuring that the water production main pipe 6 is in a non-full pipe flow state, reducing the impact on the vacuum of the ultrafiltration water production branch pipe 5.

[0028] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the water production branch pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the water inlet of the water production main pipe 6. The water production branch pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the water inlet of the water production main pipe 6, which can prevent air from being brought in to destroy the vacuum and ensure the stable operation of the system.

[0029] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, a regulating valve 7 is also included. The regulating valve 7 is arranged on the water production branch pipe 5. By arranging the regulating valve 7 on the water production branch pipe 5, the flow rate of the water production branch pipe 5 can be conveniently adjusted, the resistance loss along the way can be reduced, and the water production efficiency can be improved.

[0030] In a preferred scheme of the present embodiment, the regulating valve 7 is used to control the flow rate of the water production branch pipe 5 at 0.8-1.2 m / s. Controlling the flow rate of the water production branch pipe 5 at 0.8-1.2 m / s can not only ensure the water production efficiency, but also reduce the resistance loss along the way, reduce the impact on the vacuum of the ultrafiltration water production branch pipe 5, and improve the stability of the system and the energy-saving effect.

[0031] The present invention also provides a method for using the ultrafiltration system as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0034] The position of the water production pool 3 is determined so that the bottom of the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 is higher than the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3, and the height difference between the two is controlled at 6-8m.

[0035] Connect the water production pipe, connect one end of the water production branch pipe 5 to the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2, and the other end to the bottom of the water inlet of the water production main pipe 6. At the same time, extend the water outlet of the water production main pipe 6 into the water production pool 3, and ensure that the water outlet height of the water production main pipe 6 is higher than the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3.

[0036] A regulating valve 7 is installed on the water production branch pipe 5 .

[0037] 2. Startup and Operation

[0038] Check whether the connections of the entire ultrafiltration system are tight and whether all components are normal.

[0039] The ultrafiltration system is turned on, and water enters the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 for filtration.

[0040] Since the bottom of the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 is 6 to 8 meters higher than the highest liquid level of the water production pool 3, and a siphon device 4 is provided on the water production pipe, under the action of gravity and siphon, the filtered water will flow from the ultrafiltration membrane pool 2 to the water production pool 3 along the water production pipe.

[0041] The flow rate of the water production branch pipe 5 is adjusted by the regulating valve 7 to be controlled at 0.8-1.2 m / s to ensure the water production efficiency, reduce the resistance loss along the way, and at the same time reduce the impact on the vacuum of the ultrafiltration water production branch pipe 5, thereby improving the stability of the system and the energy-saving effect.
