Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of membrane separation water treatment, and more particularly to a method for controlling ultrafiltration membrane water treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrafiltration membrane water treatment systems are widely used in industrial wastewater treatment, reclaimed water reuse, and advanced drinking water purification. Their operational performance largely depends on the stability of membrane flux and the control of membrane fouling. Traditional membrane system control strategies rely on fixed transmembrane pressure thresholds and periodic backwashing. However, in environments with drastic water quality fluctuations or high pollution loads, this type of control mode cannot effectively respond to the dynamic characteristics of membrane flux decay, leading to increased membrane fouling, higher operating energy consumption, and even system failure.

[0003] In recent years, although some studies have introduced sensor data for control optimization, most of them are based on simple linear prediction or empirical rules and lack the ability to deeply model and intelligently adjust time series data.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method based on real-time prediction and adaptive differential pressure control to improve the operational stability and intelligence level of membrane systems under complex water quality conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the current ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control methods, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control method, which constructs a machine learning model that integrates support vector machine and long short-term memory network, dynamically predicts the membrane flux change rate by combining real-time monitoring data, and intelligently adjusts the transmembrane pressure difference control threshold and backwashing strategy accordingly, thereby achieving synergistic optimization of system operating efficiency and membrane life.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for controlling ultrafiltration membrane water treatment, comprising the following steps: Real-time acquisition of influent water quality parameters and membrane module operating parameters; Based on the collected parameters, the membrane fouling trend is dynamically predicted using an online-trained machine learning model, and the transmembrane pressure differential control threshold is adaptively adjusted according to the prediction results and historical operating data. Membrane filtration is performed based on the adjusted transmembrane pressure differential control threshold, and the membrane flux change rate and energy consumption change rate are monitored in real time. A multi-stage backwashing procedure is triggered based on the membrane flux change rate, and the backwashing pressure, cycle and interval are simultaneously optimized by combining a predictive model. After backwashing is completed, membrane integrity is tested, and the test results and operational data are fed back to the machine learning model for dynamic optimization of subsequent processing procedures.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control method of the present invention, the machine learning model is a hybrid model that integrates support vector machine and long short-term memory network. The model input includes the influent water quality and transmembrane pressure difference data of the most recent 12 hours, and the output is the predicted value of membrane flux decay rate for the next hour.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control method of the present invention, the specific implementation of the adaptive adjustment of the transmembrane pressure difference control threshold includes: S1.

S3. When the influent turbidity is >30 NTU or the predicted decay rate is >10% / h, the pretreatment enhancement program will be automatically started and the threshold will be reduced to 0.10 MPa.

When 0.01 MPa / min < pressure drop rate ≤ 0.02 MPa / min, it is marked as a potential risk and subsequent monitoring should be strengthened; When the pressure drop rate is ≤0.01MPa / min, the membrane module is confirmed to be intact. The damage location procedure includes: Close the inlet valves of each membrane module in sequence and monitor the pressure changes on the product water side; If the pressure returns to the normal range after a certain group of valves is closed, then that group is identified as the damaged group. The damaged membrane module is automatically switched to the standby membrane module and the operating parameters are updated synchronously.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control method of the present invention, it further includes chemical cleaning optimization control: Chemical cleaning is triggered when the cumulative running time reaches 72 hours or the transmembrane pressure difference exceeds the dynamic threshold by 30%. The cleaning process begins with circulating an alkaline cleaning solution with pH=11 for 40 minutes under the following conditions: temperature 35±2℃, flow rate 1.5m / s. If the flux recovery rate after cleaning is <85%, switch to a pH=2 acidic cleaning solution for a second treatment of 20 min. After chemical cleaning is completed, flux calibration is performed and the replicated operating parameters are written into the model adaptation library.

[0015] An ultrafiltration membrane water treatment control system includes: The data acquisition module is used to collect influent water quality parameters and membrane module operating parameters in real time; The prediction and decision module integrates an online-trained SVM–LSTM hybrid prediction model, which is used to predict the future membrane flux decay rate based on the data provided by the acquisition module and output the transmembrane pressure difference control threshold.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-2 A method for controlling water treatment using an ultrafiltration membrane is provided, comprising the following steps: Real-time acquisition of influent water quality parameters and membrane module operating parameters; Based on the collected parameters, the membrane fouling trend is dynamically predicted using an online-trained machine learning model, and the transmembrane pressure differential control threshold is adaptively adjusted according to the prediction results and historical operating data. Membrane filtration is performed based on the adjusted transmembrane pressure differential control threshold, and the membrane flux change rate and energy consumption change rate are monitored in real time. A multi-stage backwashing procedure is triggered based on the membrane flux change rate, and the backwashing pressure, cycle and interval are simultaneously optimized by combining a predictive model. After backwashing is completed, membrane integrity is tested, and the test results and operational data are fed back to the machine learning model for dynamic optimization of subsequent processing procedures.

[0023] The machine learning model is a hybrid model that integrates support vector machines and long short-term memory networks. The model input includes the influent water quality and transmembrane pressure difference data for the most recent 12 hours, and the output is the predicted value of the membrane flux decay rate for the next hour.

[0024] Specifically, the online-trained machine learning model is a hybrid prediction model that integrates Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM), and includes the following modules and steps: 1. Data Preprocessing Module: The collected raw influent water quality parameters and membrane module operating parameters are subjected to noise reduction and normalization processing. A sliding window approach was used to construct training samples based on feature vectors collected at 5-minute intervals within the last 12 hours, including turbidity, COD, pH, conductivity, transmembrane pressure difference, membrane flux, and system energy consumption. Perform a difference transformation on the time series for each window to highlight the flux decline trend and stabilize the series variance; 2. SVM sub-model: Support vector regression (SVR) with radial basis function (RBF) kernel was used to make a preliminary prediction of short-term (10-30 minutes) membrane flux decay rate; SVM hyperparameter settings: Penalty parameter C = 1.0, kernel width ; The optimal C and ☐ were determined using grid search and 5-fold cross-validation. ; Output short-time prediction results ; 3. LSTM sub-model: A three-layer LSTM network is constructed. The first layer has an input dimension of 7 (corresponding to the preprocessed features) and 128 hidden units. The second and third layers each have 64 hidden units. A fully connected regression layer is connected after the three-layer LSTM to map the hidden state of the last time step to the flux decay rate sequence prediction within the next hour (12 five-minute steps); LSTM hyperparameter settings: learning rate 0.001, batch size 64, number of training epochs 50; Mean squared error (MSE) is used as the loss function, and Adam is the optimizer. 4. Integration and Output: The prediction results of SVM and LSTM are fused in a weighted manner: ; Among them, the fusion coefficient It can be adjusted according to online performance; Output the final predicted value As a prediction of membrane flux decay rate in the next hour, it is used for threshold adaptive adjustment; 5. Online update mechanism: After each backwash, compare the actual flux decline rate before and after the latest backwash with the model prediction. Store them together in the training set; Every 24 hours or when more than 500 new samples are added cumulatively, the SVM and LSTM sub-models are fine-tuned online to ensure the model's adaptability to changes in system state and raw water quality.

[0025] Furthermore, the specific implementation of adaptively adjusting the transmembrane pressure difference control threshold includes: S1. When the influent turbidity is ≤10 NTU and the predicted flux decay rate is ≤5% / h, the transmembrane pressure difference threshold is set to 0.17 MPa. S2. When 10 NTU < influent turbidity ≤ 30 NTU or 5% / h < predicted attenuation rate ≤ 10% / h, the transmembrane pressure difference threshold will be adaptively maintained in the range of 0.12 to 0.17 MPa. S3. When the influent turbidity is >30 NTU or the predicted decay rate is >10% / h, the pretreatment enhancement program will be automatically started and the threshold will be reduced to 0.10 MPa.

[0026] The multi-stage backwashing procedure includes: Phase 1: Maintain a back pressure of 0.25 MPa for 30 seconds; The second stage: backwashing is performed in a pulse manner with a pulse pressure of 0.35 MPa, alternating between high pressure and low pressure of 0.18 MPa for 5s / 10s, for a total of N cycles, where N is determined by the degree of contamination predicted by the machine learning model; Third stage: Flush with a stable pressure of 0.18MPa for 60 seconds.

[0027] Specifically, the number of pulse phase cycles N is determined as follows: When the model predicts a flux decay rate of >15% / h over the next 1 hour, N=8; When 10% / h < predicted attenuation rate ≤ 15% / h, N = 5; When the predicted attenuation rate is ≤10% / h, N=3.

[0028] Membrane integrity testing includes: Inject 0.1 MPa of compressed air into the product water side and monitor the rate of pressure drop; When the pressure drop rate is greater than 0.02 MPa / min, the membrane is determined to be damaged and the damage location procedure is initiated. When 0.01 MPa / min < pressure drop rate ≤ 0.02 MPa / min, it is marked as a potential risk and subsequent monitoring should be strengthened; When the pressure drop rate is ≤0.01MPa / min, the membrane module is confirmed to be intact. The damage location procedure includes: Close the inlet valves of each membrane module in sequence and monitor the pressure changes on the product water side; If the pressure returns to the normal range after a certain group of valves is closed, then that group is identified as the damaged group. The damaged membrane module is automatically switched to the standby membrane module and the operating parameters are updated synchronously.

[0029] Specifically, this also includes optimized control of chemical cleaning: Chemical cleaning is triggered when the cumulative running time reaches 72 hours or the transmembrane pressure difference exceeds the dynamic threshold by 30%. The cleaning process begins with circulating an alkaline cleaning solution with pH=11 for 40 minutes under the following conditions: temperature 35±2℃, flow rate 1.5m / s. If the flux recovery rate after cleaning is <85%, switch to a pH=2 acidic cleaning solution for a second treatment of 20 min. After chemical cleaning is completed, flux calibration is performed and the replicated operating parameters are written into the model adaptation library.

[0030] Specific application scenarios:

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] The circulating water reuse system of a steel plant uses high-turbidity iron-containing industrial wastewater (turbidity 30-100 NTU) as raw water, and the pollution fluctuates greatly.

[0033] The control process is as follows: 1. Data Acquisition and Processing Data such as turbidity, COD, transmembrane pressure difference, and membrane flux are collected every 5 minutes; a sliding window is used to construct time-series features and input them into the SVM+LSTM model. 2. Prediction and Regulation The model predicts that the flux will drop to 15% within 40 minutes. The system automatically reduces the transmembrane pressure differential threshold from 0.15 MPa to 0.12 MPa and schedules backwashing in advance. 3. Backwashing optimization With a COD of up to 85 mg / L, the pulse backwashing is set to 8 cycles, each cycle including 5 seconds of high pressure + 10 seconds of low pressure, which greatly improves the membrane recovery rate. 4. Results Compared with the original fixed strategy, the membrane fouling rate was reduced by 22%, the cleaning frequency was reduced by 13%, and the system energy consumption was reduced by 10%.

[0034] Example 2: Rural drinking water ultrafiltration stations in groundwater purification projects A rural drinking water project in northern China receives groundwater as its influent. The water quality changes slowly but is accompanied by low concentrations of organic matter over a long period.

[0035] The control process is as follows: 1. Initial stage The groundwater turbidity fluctuates between 5 and 15 NTU, and the system dynamically maintains the differential pressure threshold between 0.13 and 0.15 MPa according to the rules. 2. Pollution early warning The model predicts that the flux will decrease slowly (<8% / h) in the next 2 hours. Maintain the original operating parameters and extend the backwashing cycle to 90 minutes. 3. Membrane integrity testing If the pressure drop rate is abnormal (0.025 MPa / min) after a backwash, the system will automatically determine that the membrane module is damaged, isolate the section of the membrane module, and transfer it to the standby module. 4. Cleaning Management The system indicates that the 72-hour cleaning time limit has been met. Perform alkaline cleaning and flux recovery assessment to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.
