Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the membrane field, and in particular to a membrane switching multi-stage membrane stack system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, membrane technology, as a new water treatment technology, has been widely used in many water treatment fields. The existing reverse osmosis water purifier has a low raw water utilization rate, a wastewater ratio of about 1:3, a recovery rate of about 25%, and a large wastewater discharge, resulting in a waste of water resources. For this reason, the National Standardization Administration proposed and formulated the "Water Efficiency Limit Values ​​and Water Efficiency Grades for Water Purifiers", which stipulates that under the premise of meeting the nominal water purification flow rate and total water purification volume, the water efficiency grade of the water purifier is divided into 3 levels, namely, level 1 ≥ 65%, level 2 ≥ 55%, and level 3 ≥ 45%. Therefore, improving the recovery rate of water purification equipment is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Recovery rate refers to the total recovery rate of water purification equipment in actual use, which is affected by many factors such as feed water quality, number of membrane elements and arrangement. Generally, in order to meet the requirements for water production and quality, most membrane devices adopt multi-component configuration. Membrane components are assembled in a certain configuration, in which the selection and optimization of the number of membrane components directly affect the separation effect, investment cost and operating cost of the device. The arrangement of membrane components in the device mainly includes single-stage, multi-stage, concentrated water circulation and graded. Among them, the multi-stage membrane stack device can improve the recovery rate of the device while meeting the requirements of water production quality.

[0004] A multi-stage membrane stack device is one that uses the concentrated water produced by the first stage device as the inlet water for the second stage device, and so on. Although this arrangement can effectively improve the recovery rate of the system, the poor water quality and slow flow rate of the concentrated water end lead to the imbalance of membrane performance in the multi-stage membrane stack device. Therefore, solving the problem of uneven membrane performance in the multi-stage membrane stack device and improving the utilization rate of each stage membrane component are of great significance to the development of water purification equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a membrane switching multi-stage membrane stack system, which adds a solenoid valve for controlling the water inlet direction to the original multi-stage membrane stack device, and changes the problem of uneven membrane performance of the multi-stage membrane stack device by changing the water inlet direction.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A membrane switching multi-stage membrane stack filtration method comprises the following steps: S1. When the membrane switching multi-stage membrane stack filtration is working, the water inlet valve, electric switching valve and reverse concentrated water valve are opened, and the reverse water inlet valve, concentrated water valve and reverse electric switching valve are closed. The water flows into the first stage of the forward membrane stack device for filtration. The clean water enters the clean water main pipe through the water flow sensor. The concentrated water enters the subsequent membrane components of the forward membrane stack device in turn through the one-way valve for filtration, and then enters the reverse membrane stack device through the electric switching valve. After being filtered by multiple groups of membrane components, the clean water is collected into the clean water main pipe through the reverse clean water branch pipe, and the concentrated water finally flows out through the reverse concentrated water valve; S2. When the water flow sensor detects that the water flow rate reaches the limit value, the automatic control system controls the water inlet valve, the electric switching valve and the reverse concentrated water valve to close, and the reverse water inlet valve, the reverse electric switching valve and the concentrated water valve to open, the water inlet direction changes, and the water flows from the reverse water inlet solenoid valve into the reverse membrane stack device; S3. The water flows through the first section of the reverse membrane stack device for filtration, the clean water flows into the clean water main pipe through the water flow sensor, the concentrated water enters the subsequent membrane components of the reverse membrane stack device in turn through the reverse electric switching valve for filtration, and then enters the forward membrane stack device through the reverse electric switching valve; after being filtered by multiple groups of membrane components, the clean water flows into the clean water main pipe through the clean water branch pipe, and the concentrated water flows out through the concentrated water valve; S4. When the water flow sensor detects that the water flow rate reaches the limit again, the system maintenance personnel need to replace the membrane element to maximize the utilization rate of the membrane element.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The technical solution of the present invention is to change the water inlet direction by means of the solenoid valve that controls the water inlet direction on the multi-stage membrane stack device, and adjust the arrangement order of the membrane components. This method is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of each segment of the membrane components and improving the problem of uneven membrane performance in the multi-stage membrane stack device. At the same time, the utilization rate of concentrated water is improved, and the full utilization of water resources is achieved. The water flow sensor on the water purification branch can automatically control the change of water inlet direction according to the water flow conditions, and the operation and management are convenient. In summary, the membrane switching multi-stage membrane stack filtration method provided by the present invention solves the problem of uneven membrane performance in the multi-stage membrane stack device, reduces the operating cost of the equipment, and is of great significance to the development of water purification equipment.
