[0041] In the existing industrial ultrapure water system, the low-pressure ultraviolet germicidal lamp is usually operated continuously for 24 hours. If the power of the germicidal lamp is kept at 40 W and the electricity price is 0.8 yuan per kilowatt hour (kWh), then the daily power consumption of the low-pressure ultraviolet germicidal lamp is 0.96 kWh, the monthly power consumption is 28.8 kWh, and the monthly electricity bill is 23.04 yuan. Therefore, the energy consumption of the existing industrial ultrapure water system is high, and the cost of the germicidal lamp applied in industry is high.

[0042] To this end, the applicant of the present application proposes an ultrapure water manufacturing system, which can reduce the energy consumption of the system by realizing self-control adjustment of the irradiance of the germicidal lamp according to the concentration of microorganisms.

[0050] Embodiment one

[0051] In the embodiment, a kind of ultrapure water manufacturing system is provided, please refer to Figure 1 , it is shown as the structure schematic diagram of the ultrapure water manufacturing system of the present application, the ultrapure water manufacturing system includes raw water tank 1, raw water pump 2, germicidal lamp 3, filter 4, reverse osmosis device 5, pure water tank 6, detection device 7 and PID controller 8, wherein, the raw water pump 2 is connected with the water outlet of the raw water tank 1, the germicidal lamp 3 is arranged in the rear stage of the raw water pump 2, to carry out sterilization treatment to the raw water discharged by the raw water pump 2, the filter 4 is arranged in the rear stage of the germicidal lamp 3, to carry out filtration treatment to the water after sterilization treatment, the reverse osmosis device 5 is arranged in the rear stage of the filter 4, to remove the impurities in the water discharged by the filter 4, the pure water tank 6 is arranged in the rear stage of the reverse osmosis device 5, to receive and store the water discharged by the reverse osmosis device 5, the detection device 7 is arranged between the filter 4 and the reverse osmosis device 5, for detecting the microorganism concentration of the water discharged by the filter 4 and forming real-time concentration value, the PID controller 8 is arranged on the germicidal lamp 3, for receiving the real-time concentration value, and the PID controller 8 controls the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 based on the real-time concentration value and PID algorithm, to control the germicidal lamp 3 to be in energy-saving state or normal working state.

[0052] Specifically, the step of regulating the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 by the PID controller 8 based on the real-time concentration value and the PID algorithm comprises:

[0053] (1) setting a target concentration value, and calculating a concentration difference between the target concentration value and the real-time concentration value;

[0054] (2) obtaining a control amount by using a PID calculation formula according to the concentration difference, wherein the PID calculation formula is:

[0055]

[0056] wherein u(t) is the control amount output by the PID calculation formula, e(t) is the difference between the target concentration value and the real-time concentration value, Kp is a proportional coefficient, Ki is an integral coefficient, and Kd is a differential coefficient; p i d

[0057] (3) taking the control amount as a control signal to adjust the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3.

[0058] When the ultrapure water production system is running, the detection device 7 is set to detect the microbial concentration of the raw water at intervals, for example, once per minute, to ensure timely feedback. After the detection device 7 feeds back the real-time concentration value to the PID controller 8, the PID controller 8 calculates the concentration difference and obtains the control amount by the PID calculation formula, thereby converting the control amount into the control signal, realizing the real-time linkage between the detection device 7 and the germicidal lamp 3, and being able to automatically adjust the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 according to the microbial concentration, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the system. The control amount is not the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 itself, but the driving intensity to which the germicidal lamp 3 should be adjusted. For example, in the present embodiment, the target concentration value is set to 1050 CFU / mL, the initial microbial concentration of the raw water discharged by the filter 4 is 1000 CFU / mL, and the initial irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 is 50 mW / cm 2 . After the pollution rises, the microbial concentration of the raw water becomes 1500 CFU / mL, the concentration difference is -450 CFU / mL, the PID controller 8 brings the concentration difference into the calculation formula, and gradually increases the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 to 80 mW / cm 2 according to the obtained control amount, so that the germicidal lamp 3 is in a normal working state. After the pollution decreases, the microbial concentration of the raw water becomes 800 CFU / mL, the concentration difference is 250 CFU / mL, the PID controller 8 brings the concentration difference into the calculation formula, and gradually reduces the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 to 30 mW / cm 2 ​​​This allows the germicidal lamp 3 to operate in an energy-saving state. In other embodiments, the target concentration value is set as a range, specifically between 900 CFU / mL and 1200 CFU / mL. Correspondingly, a dead zone is added to the PID controller 8, set at 150 CFU / mL. When the raw water is in a stable state, the microbial concentration of the raw water remains at 1000 CFU / mL, within the dead zone. The PID controller 8 then stops operating, thereby maintaining the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 at 60 mW / cm². 2 This ensures that the germicidal lamp 3 is in normal working condition.

[0059] As an example, the germicidal lamp 3 includes a drive circuit connected to the output terminal of the PID controller 8. The drive circuit receives the control signal and converts the control signal into a circuit signal to adjust the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3.

[0060] As an example, when the target concentration value is greater than or equal to the real-time concentration value and the concentration difference is greater than or equal to 250 CFU / mL, the PID controller 8 controls the germicidal lamp 3 to enter an energy-saving state, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the system.

[0061] As an example, when the germicidal lamp 3 enters the energy-saving state, the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 is less than or equal to 30mW / cm². 2 .

[0062] As an example, the number of germicidal lamps 3 is one or more.

[0063] As an example, the maximum irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 is 100 mW / cm². 2 .

[0064] As an example, the germicidal lamp 3 includes an ultraviolet germicidal lamp.

[0065] As an example, the reverse osmosis unit 5 includes a spiral wound reverse osmosis unit.

[0066] As an example, the detection device 7 includes a microbial sensor.

[0067] The ultrapure water production system of this embodiment is used for ultrapure water production. The system includes a raw water tank, a raw water pump, a germicidal lamp, a filter, a reverse osmosis device, a pure water tank, a detection device, and a PID controller. Based on the real-time microbial concentration value of the water to be treated and the PID algorithm, the irradiance of the germicidal lamp can be automatically adjusted, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the system.

[0069] This embodiment provides a method for producing ultrapure water, which includes at least the following steps:

[0071] (2) The raw water to be treated is subjected to sterilization, filtration and reverse osmosis treatment to obtain ultrapure water;

[0072] (3) Store the ultrapure water in the pure water tank 6.

[0073] Specifically, in the sterilization process, the PID controller 8 adjusts the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3 based on the real-time concentration of the microorganisms in the water and the PID algorithm, including the following steps:

[0074] (1) Set a target concentration value and calculate the concentration difference between the target concentration value and the real-time concentration value;

[0075] (2) Based on the concentration difference, the control quantity is obtained using the PID calculation formula, which is:

[0076]

[0077] In the formula: u(t) is the control quantity output by the PID calculation formula, e(t) is the difference between the target concentration value and the real-time concentration value, and K p K is the proportionality coefficient. i K is the integral coefficient. d These are the differential coefficients;

[0078] (3) Use the control quantity as a control signal to adjust the irradiance of the germicidal lamp 3.

[0079] For specific details, please refer to the above description of the operation of the PID controller 8 in the ultrapure water manufacturing system, as both operate on the same principle.

[0080] The ultrapure water manufacturing method in this embodiment utilizes the ultrapure water manufacturing system in Embodiment 1, which can also reduce the energy consumption of the pure water manufacturing system, thereby saving the manufacturing cost of ultrapure water.
