Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment technology, and specifically relates to a method, system, and electronic device for evaluating the lifetime of nanofiltration membranes used in water treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Nanofiltration membranes, as an important branch of membrane separation technology, offer separation performance between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, and can precisely retain molecular weights up to 200. Organic compounds (such as dyes and humic acid) and salt ions (such as divalent anions) with a value of 2000 Da have important applications in deep treatment of industrial wastewater and purification of drinking water.
[0003] Nanofiltration membranes are core components of advanced drinking water treatment systems, and their operational status directly impacts effluent quality and treatment costs. During long-term operation, nanofiltration membranes experience performance degradation due to fouling and wear, necessitating timely replacement to ensure water supply safety. Currently, the determination of nanofiltration membrane replacement milestones in the water treatment industry is primarily based on single indicators (such as decreased membrane flux or a doubling of transmembrane pressure differential) or the operational experience of staff. This approach has significant drawbacks: it focuses solely on membrane performance parameters, neglecting the synergistic effects of operating costs and water quality compliance thresholds. This leads to replacement decisions that are either overly conservative (premature replacement wastes membrane resources) or overly risky (delayed replacement results in substandard water quality or a surge in energy consumption).
[0004] Current technologies lack a multi-dimensional, quantitative evaluation system, making it difficult to balance the relationship between water quality assurance, membrane lifespan, and operating costs, and hindering the provision of scientifically sound replacement recommendations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive, multi-factor-based method and system for evaluating the lifespan of nanofiltration membranes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-dimensional and quantitative evaluation system to balance the relationship between water quality assurance, membrane lifespan and operating costs, and to provide scientific and reasonable recommendations for replacement nodes.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the lifetime of a nanofiltration membrane for water treatment, comprising: Obtain the attribute data of the nanofiltration membrane, including the membrane performance, operating cost, and effluent water quality; preprocess the attribute data of the nanofiltration membrane to obtain standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane; The standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane are input into the nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model to obtain the comprehensive evaluation index of the nanofiltration membrane; the comprehensive evaluation index of the nanofiltration membrane is used to determine whether the nanofiltration membrane should be replaced.
[0007] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes constructing a nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model based on a weighted method: , w i =Aw si +Bw oi , in, E As a comprehensive evaluation index, E The range of values is [0, 1]. n The total number of evaluation indicators, x i ′ for the first i Standardized data for each indicator; w i For the first i The overall weight of each indicator; w si For the first i The subjective weights of each indicator are determined through an expert survey using the AHP method. w oi For the first i The objective weights of each indicator are determined by the entropy weight method based on the historical standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane, and the historical standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane corresponds to the standardized data attributes of the nanofiltration membrane. A The proportion of subjective weight, B The proportion of objective weights, A + B = 1 ,and 1 > B > A > 0 .
[0008] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the step of preprocessing the property data of the nanofiltration membrane to obtain standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane includes: Membrane performance index data is calculated based on current and historical data of membrane performance. Operating cost index data is calculated based on current and historical data of operating costs. Effluent water quality index data is calculated based on current and historical data of effluent water quality. The membrane performance index data, operating cost index data, and effluent water quality index data are nanofiltration membrane index data. The positive data of nanofiltration membrane is obtained by positively processing both the index data of nanofiltration membrane and the corresponding historical index data of nanofiltration membrane. The normalized data of nanofiltration membranes are obtained by normalizing the positive data.
[0009] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the calculation of membrane performance index data based on current membrane performance data and historical collected membrane performance data includes: Membrane flux attenuation rate = ( J 0 J t ) / J 0×100%, The rate of decrease in sulfate rejection rate = ( R 0 R t ) / R 0×100%, Transmembrane pressure differential growth rate = ( TMP t TMP 0) / TMP 0×100%, Based on the above formula, the membrane performance index data are obtained, including the membrane flux decline rate, the decrease rate of sulfate rejection, and the increase rate of transmembrane pressure difference. J 0 represents the initial flux of the new membrane. J t The current operating membrane flux, R 0 represents the initial rejection rate. Rt The current retention rate, TMP 0 represents the initial transmembrane pressure difference of the new membrane. TMP t The current transmembrane pressure difference represents the historical data of membrane performance, including the initial flux of the new membrane, the initial rejection rate, and the initial transmembrane pressure difference. The current operating membrane flux, the current rejection rate, and the current transmembrane pressure difference represent the current data of membrane performance.

Similarly, the operating cost index data and corresponding historical index data are used to obtain the forward value of operating cost through the reciprocal method. The effluent water quality index data and corresponding historical index data are the forward value of effluent water quality. For example, if the index data of the nanofiltration membrane is 0, then the minimum value ε=10 is used. 6 The positive data for nanofiltration membranes include: positive data for membrane performance, positive data for operating costs, and positive data for effluent quality. The process of normalizing the forward data of nanofiltration membranes to obtain standardized data includes: based on x'=(x + -x +min ) / (x + max -x + min ) Map all the forwarded data to the interval [0, 1], where, x + This is positive data for the indicator data. x + max The maximum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation. ,x + min This is the minimum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation.

The reminder threshold > the warning threshold > the forced replacement threshold. When the comprehensive evaluation index is greater than the warning threshold, it indicates that the nanofiltration membrane is operating well and has not degraded significantly. When the alert threshold is greater than or equal to the comprehensive evaluation index and greater than the warning threshold, it indicates that the membrane performance has begun to degrade, and it is recommended to continuously monitor the changes in the indicators. When the warning threshold is greater than or equal to the comprehensive evaluation index and the mandatory replacement threshold, it indicates that the membrane performance has seriously deteriorated, and it is recommended to develop a replacement plan and replace the membrane within 1-3 months.

[0037] 4) Determination of overall weight For the above eight nanofiltration membrane indicators, a combined "subjective + objective" weighting method was adopted, taking into account both industry experience and objective data patterns: ① Subjective weight w si The AHP method was used, with 5-8 experts making judgments to determine the importance of each indicator pairwise, constructing a judgment matrix. Eight nanofiltration membrane indicators were selected as evaluation criteria for replacement nodes. Table 1. Specifications of Nanofiltration Membranes Using a 1-9 scale (1 = equally important, 9 = extremely important), the importance of the eight indicators was compared pairwise, and an AHP judgment matrix was constructed after integrating expert opinions. Table 2. AHP Judgment Matrix Based on Expert Opinions The subjective weights of each indicator were calculated after normalizing the AHP matrix and performing a consistency check; the calculation results are [0.15, 0.22, 0.08, 0.06, 0.04, 0.03, 0.25, 0.17]. ②Objective weight w oi Collect historical index data of the nanofiltration membrane system for 12 consecutive months, and then normalize the data (negative indices are represented by the reciprocal x). + After processing (=1 / x), the historical normalized data matrix of nanofiltration membranes is obtained: Table 3. Historical Standardized Data Matrix for Nanofiltration Membranes Using the entropy weight method, based on the historical standardized data of the aforementioned nanofiltration membrane obtained after preprocessing, the information entropy of each indicator is calculated. ,in ,x ij ′ represents the standardized data of the i-th indicator in the j-th month, and n is the number of months selected, which is 12 in this embodiment; then, the entropy weight formula is used... Calculate the objective weights; the results are [0.0289, 0.0925, 0.0297, 0.0484, 0.2368, 0.5577, 0.0042, 0.0017]; Based on w i =Aw si +Bw oi Comprehensive weight w i The subjective and objective weights are combined in a 4:6 ratio to ensure that the weights align with industry understanding while also reflecting the characteristics of actual operational data. The weights are then calculated based on a comprehensive weighting. i =0.4×w si +0.6×w oi w si w represents the subjective weight of the i-th indicator. oi Let be the objective weight of the i-th indicator, and the calculation result is [0.102, 0.169, 0.060, 0.055, 0.119, 0.241, 0.152, 0.103].
[0038] The total weight is 1.000, verification passed.
[0039] 5) The evaluation system model for nanofiltration membranes is constructed using a linear weighted summation method: Model formula: , in, E This is a comprehensive evaluation index (with a value range of [0, 1]). n This represents the total number of evaluation indicators (n=8 in this example). w i For the first i The combined weight of each indicator x i ′ represents the standardized data for the i-th indicator.
[0040] The closer E is to 1, the better the nanofiltration membrane is operating and it does not need to be replaced; the closer E is to 0, the worse the membrane performance, operating costs, or water quality are, and it needs to be replaced immediately.
[0041] Step S1: Obtain the property data of the nanofiltration membrane. 1) Membrane performance of nanofiltration membranes a. Collect current data Membrane flux is collected by an electromagnetic flow meter on the product water side; current membrane flux. J t =20 L / m 2•h; Sulfate rejection rate is calculated by detecting the sulfate concentration in the influent and permeate using ion chromatography. The current sulfate rejection rate is... R t The transmembrane pressure difference is 89%; the current transmembrane pressure difference is acquired through a pressure transmitter. TMP t =0.6 MPa; sampling frequency is 1 time / day.
[0042] b. Retrieve historical data ①Historical data collection: Initial membrane flux J 0=23 L / m 2 ·h; Initial sulfate rejection rate R 0 is 98%; initial transmembrane pressure difference TMP 0 = 0.4 MPa.
[0043] ②Historical indicator data: The historical minimum membrane flux decline rate was 0; the historical minimum retention rate decline rate was 0; and the historical minimum transmembrane pressure difference growth rate was 0.
[0044] 2) Operating costs of nanofiltration membranes a. Collect current data Energy consumption is collected via electricity meters, and water production is collected via water meters. The current monthly electricity consumption of the system is... W 300,000 kWh, monthly water production Q 300,000 m 3 The consumption of chemicals is recorded through the metering device of the chemical dosing system, showing the current monthly total consumption of various chemicals. M The value is 36,000,000 L; the frequency of chemical cleaning is statistically analyzed through the operation log, and the current number of membrane chemical cleanings is 1; calculated on a monthly basis.
[0045] b. Retrieve historical data ①Historical data collection: Initial water production energy consumption: 1.1 kWh / m 3 Initial permeate chemical consumption: 10 L / m³ 3 The initial membrane chemical cleaning frequency is 0.3 times / month.
[0046] ②Historical indicator data: The highest historical energy consumption for water production was 1.2 kWh / m³. 3 The lowest historical energy consumption per unit of water production is 0.9 kWh / m³. 3 ; The highest historical unit per unit of water production chemical consumption was 15 L / m³. 3 The lowest historical unit water production reagent consumption was 10 L / m³. 3 ; The highest historical frequency of membrane chemical cleaning was 2 times per month, and the lowest historical frequency was 0.3 times per month.
[0047] 3) Effluent quality of nanofiltration membrane a. Collect current data Conductivity is monitored in real time using an online conductivity meter. σ 0 represents the current influent conductivity, which is 428 μS / cm. σ t The current conductivity of the produced water is 231 μS / cm; TOC was detected using an online TOC analyzer or an offline combustion oxidation method. T 0 represents the current influent TOC level of 3.1 mg / L. T t The current TOC content of the produced water is 0.4 mg / L.
[0048] b. Retrieve historical data ①Historical data collection: Initial influent conductivity σ0 = 395 μS / cm, initial product water conductivity σ t =166μS / cm; Initial influent TOC value T 0 = 2.8 mg / L, TOC value of permeate T t =0.2mg / L.

The highest historical TOC removal rate in permeate was 92%, and the lowest historical TOC removal rate in permeate was 85%.
[0050] Step S2: Preprocess the nanofiltration membrane property data to obtain standardized nanofiltration membrane data. 1) Calculate indicator data a. Membrane performance index data Membrane flux decay rate = (J 0 J t ) / J 0 ×100% =(23 20) / 23×100%≈13.04%; Retention rate decline rate = (R 0 R t ) / R0×100% =(98%) (89%) / 98%×100%≈9.18%; Transmembrane pressure differential growth rate =(TMP t TMP 0 ) / TMP 0 ×100% =(0.48 0.4) / 0.4×100%=20%.
[0051] b. Operating cost indicators Unit water production energy consumption = W / Q =300000 / 300000=1.0 kWh / m 3 ; Unit water production reagent consumption = M / Q =36000000 / 300000=12 L / m 3 ; Membrane chemical cleaning frequency: Number of membrane chemical cleanings per month, 1.
[0052] c. Effluent water quality indicators Product water conductivity removal rate = (σ 0 σ t ) / σ 0 ×100% =46%, TOC removal rate in permeate = (T 0 T t ) / T 0 ×100% =87%.
[0053] 2) Positive data processing of indicators The data for membrane performance indicators and operating cost indicators (negative indicators, the larger the value, the more unfavorable) are converted into positive data using the reciprocal method. The data for effluent water quality indicators (positive indicators, the larger the value, the more favorable) are then the positive data. For example, if the indicator data for nanofiltration membranes is 0, then the minimum value is used. ε =10 6 Replace 0.
[0054] a. Membrane performance of nanofiltration membranes ① Positive trend in indicator data: Membrane flux decay rate: 1 / 13.04%≈1 / 0.1304≈7.67 Retention rate decrease rate: 1 / 9.18% ≈ 1 / 0.0918 ≈ 10.89; Transmembrane pressure differential growth rate: 1 / 20.00% = 5.

The lowest historical frequency of membrane chemical cleaning is 1 / 2 = 0.5, and the highest historical frequency is 1 / 0.3 = 3.33.
[0058] c. Effluent quality from nanofiltration membranes ① Positive trend in indicator data: Product water conductivity removal rate: 0.46; TOC removal rate in permeate: 0.87; ② Positive transformation of historical indicator data: Lowest historical permeate conductivity removal rate: 0.42; Highest historical permeate conductivity removal rate: 0.58; Lowest historical TOC removal rate in permeate: 0.85; highest historical TOC removal rate in permeate: 0.92.
[0059] 3) Forward data normalization processing The min-max normalization method is used to map all the forward-directed data to the interval [0, 1].
[0060] The normalization formula is: x'=(x + -x+ min ) / (x + max -x + min ) ,in x + This is positive data for the indicator data. x + max This is the maximum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation. x + min This is the minimum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation.
[0061] The minimum and maximum values, determined based on the factory's historical indicator data, are shown in Table 4 below: Table 4. Normalization Process for Forward-Oriented Data Therefore, the normalized data vector xi′ is: [0, 0, 0, 0.61, 0.48, 0.17, 0.25, 0.29].
[0062] Step S3: Input the standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane into the nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model to obtain the comprehensive evaluation index of the nanofiltration membrane. The normalized and standardized data are then input into the evaluation index system model to calculate the comprehensive evaluation index E, quantifying the overall operating status of the nanofiltration membrane. Model formula: , in, E As a comprehensive evaluation index, E ranges from [0, 1]. n The total number of evaluation indicators, w i For the first i The combined weight of each indicator x i ′ for the first i Standardized data for each indicator.
[0063] In this embodiment, w i The values are [0.102, 0.169, 0.060, 0.055, 0.119, 0.241, 0.152, 0.103]. x iGiven the expression [0, 0, 0, 0.61, 0.48, 0.17, 0.25, 0.29], substitute the data to calculate: E = (0.102 × 0) + (0.169 × 0) + (0.060 × 0) + (0.055 × 0.61) + (0.119 × 0.48) + (0.241 × 0.17) + (0.152 × 0.25) + (0.103 × 0.29) = 0.22 Step S4: Determine whether to replace the nanofiltration membrane based on the comprehensive evaluation index. Based on industry standards, operating cost thresholds, and water quality safety requirements, a judgment threshold is set to determine whether the nanofiltration membrane needs to be replaced. 1) Preset threshold The mandatory replacement threshold (E3) is set based on the minimum requirements of drinking water quality standards and the limits of membrane performance: E3=0.2.
[0064] Several threshold values can also be set to indicate the overall operating status of the nanofiltration membrane: The warning threshold (E2) is set based on the upper limit of unit water production cost (e.g., 30% increase compared to the new membrane stage) and the margin for water quality compliance: E2=0.3; Set a warning threshold (E1) based on the membrane's rated service life and average decay rate: E1=0.5; The threshold for reminders is E1 > the threshold for warnings is E2 > the threshold for forced replacement is E3.
[0065] 2) Judgment Rules a. When E ≤ E 3: If the membrane performance is severely degraded, the operating cost is soaring, or the water quality is close to exceeding the standard, it is determined that "replacement is necessary" to avoid affecting the safety of water supply.
[0066] b. When E > E3: The nanofiltration membrane is operating normally and is determined to be "no replacement required". Then continue to compare E with the values of E1 and E2: ① When the comprehensive evaluation index E > the warning threshold E1, it indicates that the nanofiltration membrane is operating well and has not significantly degraded; ② When the reminder threshold E1 ≥ comprehensive evaluation index E > warning threshold E2, it indicates that the membrane performance has begun to degrade, but there is still no need to replace it. It is recommended to continuously monitor the changes in the indicators. ③ When the warning threshold E2 ≥ comprehensive evaluation index E > mandatory replacement threshold E3, it indicates that the membrane performance has deteriorated significantly. It is recommended to develop a replacement plan based on the operating conditions, effluent water quality, or operating costs, and replace the membrane within 1-3 months.
[0067] 3) Decision to change nodes Therefore, based on the evaluation method for the lifespan of nanofiltration membranes for water treatment provided by this invention, a comprehensive evaluation is performed. If the comprehensive evaluation index E=0.22 > E3, then the nanofiltration membrane "does not need to be replaced." Furthermore, based on the comprehensive evaluation index E=0.22, which conforms to E2>E>E3, it indicates that the current nanofiltration membrane performance is significantly degraded. It is recommended to develop a replacement plan based on operating conditions, effluent water quality, or operating costs, and replace the membrane within 1-3 months. This evaluation method not only determines whether the nanofiltration membrane needs replacement but also indicates the overall operating status of the nanofiltration membrane, reflecting its performance condition and facilitating accurate identification of the replacement time.
[0068] Example 2 like Figure 2 As shown, a system for evaluating the lifetime of nanofiltration membranes for water treatment includes: The construction module 201 is used to construct a nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model based on the weighting method. The nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model is constructed based on the membrane performance of the nanofiltration membrane, the operating cost index of the nanofiltration membrane, the historical standardized data of the effluent water quality of the nanofiltration membrane, and the comprehensive weight of each of the historical standardized data. The comprehensive weight is determined by a subjective and objective comprehensive weighting method. The acquisition and preprocessing module 202 is used to acquire the property data of the nanofiltration membrane and preprocess the property data of the nanofiltration membrane to obtain the standardized data of the nanofiltration membrane. The model processing module 203 is used to input standardized data into the nanofiltration membrane evaluation system model to obtain the comprehensive evaluation index of the nanofiltration membrane. The evaluation module 204 is used to determine whether to replace the nanofiltration membrane based on the comprehensive evaluation index. The comprehensive evaluation index is compared with a preset judgment threshold to determine whether to replace the nanofiltration membrane.
[0069] Optionally, module 201 includes: multiple collection sub-modules for collecting historical standardized data on multiple indicators (such as membrane flux decay rate, rejection rate decline rate, transmembrane pressure difference growth rate, unit permeate energy consumption, unit permeate reagent consumption, membrane cleaning frequency, permeate conductivity removal rate, permeate TOC removal rate, etc.); a weighting sub-module for determining the comprehensive weight of each indicator; and a model module for constructing an evaluation system model for nanofiltration membranes and calculating a comprehensive evaluation index based on the model.
[0070] Optional, the model module constructs an evaluation system model for nanofiltration membranes: Model formula: , w i =Aw si +Bw oi , in, EThis is a comprehensive evaluation index (with a value range of [0, 1]). n The total number of evaluation indicators, x i ′ represents the standardized data for the i-th indicator. w i For the first i The overall weight of each indicator; w si The subjective weight of the i-th indicator. w oi Let be the objective weight of the i-th indicator; A The proportion of subjective weight, B The proportion of objective weights, A + B = 1 ,and 1 > B > A > 0 .
[0071] The closer E is to 1, the better the nanofiltration membrane is operating and it does not need to be replaced; the closer E is to 0, the worse the membrane performance, operating costs, or water quality are, and it needs to be replaced immediately.
[0072] Optionally, the acquisition and preprocessing module 202 includes: a collector for multiple indicators, used to collect the current data of each indicator; a data storage submodule, used to retrieve the historical collected data and historical indicator data stored therein; and a calculation submodule, used to calculate the indicator data of each indicator, and then to obtain the standardized data of each indicator through standardization processing.
[0073] Optionally, there are several data acquisition options, such as: membrane flux is collected by an electromagnetic flow meter on the permeate side; sulfate rejection rate is calculated by detecting the sulfate concentration in the feed water and permeate using an ion chromatograph; transmembrane pressure difference is collected by a pressure transmitter, with a collection frequency of once per day; energy consumption is collected by an electricity meter; reagent consumption is recorded by the metering device of the reagent dosing system; chemical cleaning frequency is statistically analyzed by the operation log and calculated monthly; conductivity is monitored in real time by an online conductivity meter; and TOC is detected by an online TOC analyzer or an offline combustion oxidation method.
[0074] Optionally, the calculation submodule also includes: a forwarding module and a normalization module. The forwarding module is used to forward process the indicator data of multiple indicators to obtain forwarded data; the normalization module uses the min-max normalization method to map all forwarded data to the interval [0, 1]; the normalization formula is: x'=(x + -x + min ) / (x + max -x + min ) ,in x+ This is positive data for the indicator data. x + max This is the maximum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation. x + min This is the minimum value of the historical indicator data corresponding to this indicator after positive transformation.
