Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a filtration membrane device, belonging to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning filtration membrane device used in wastewater treatment systems. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, membrane bioreactors (MBR) technology is widely used in wastewater treatment. MBRs are a novel wastewater treatment system that organically combines membrane separation technology with biological treatment technology. A filtration membrane device is immersed in a wastewater tank. The filtration membrane device consists of a frame and membrane modules, including flat sheet membrane modules and hollow fiber membrane modules. This filtration membrane device replaces the secondary sedimentation tank at the end of traditional biological treatment technologies.
[0003] Filter membrane devices and flat sheet membrane modules that install flat sheet membrane modules, such as Figure 17 , Figure 18 As shown: The filtration membrane device includes a frame, a flat sheet membrane module, and an aeration module. The frame includes a membrane support, a water collection pipe, an upper horizontal pipe, a middle horizontal pipe, a lower horizontal pipe, and a vertical pipe. The upper part of the vertical pipe is connected to the upper horizontal pipe, and the lower part is connected to the lower horizontal pipe. The aeration module includes an aeration main pipe and aeration branch pipes, which are located on both sides of the aeration main pipe. The aeration main pipe and aeration branch pipes are located on the upper part of the lower horizontal pipe, and the middle horizontal pipe is located on the upper part of the aeration main pipe and connected to the vertical pipe. The membrane support is connected to the middle horizontal pipe. The water collection pipe is located on the outside of the vertical pipe. Top plates are provided at both ends of the frame. Vertical slots are arranged side by side between the upper and middle horizontal pipes. The flat sheet membrane module is vertically mounted on the slots. Inside the tank, the flat sheet membrane module has a rigid flat sheet in the middle for support. The membrane is set on both sides of the flat sheet and connected to the flat sheet around the perimeter. There is an outlet at the top. One end of the membrane outlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the flat sheet membrane module, and the other end is connected to the water collection pipe. The water collection pipe is connected to the product water pipe, which is connected to the inlet of the product water pump. The aeration main pipe is connected to the aeration blower through the aeration connection pipe. During operation, the filter membrane device is submerged in the wastewater tank. The negative pressure of the product water pump draws water from the outside of the filter membrane through the membrane surface into the inside of the flat sheet membrane module, and then flows into the clear water tank through the product water pipe and the product water pump. Pollutants are trapped on the outside of the membrane.
[0004] Filter membrane devices and hollow fiber membrane modules that install hollow fiber membrane modules, such as Figure 15 , Figure 16As shown: The filtration membrane device includes a frame, a hollow fiber membrane module, and an aeration module. The frame includes a membrane support, a water collection pipe, an upper horizontal pipe, a middle horizontal pipe, a lower horizontal pipe, and a vertical pipe. The upper part of the vertical pipe is connected to the upper horizontal pipe, and the lower part is connected to the lower horizontal pipe. The aeration module includes an aeration main pipe and aeration branch pipes, which are located on both sides of the aeration main pipe. The aeration main pipe and aeration branch pipes are located on the upper part of the lower horizontal pipe. The middle horizontal pipe is located on the upper part of the aeration main pipe and is connected to the vertical pipe. The membrane support is connected to the middle horizontal pipe. The hollow fiber membrane module is installed between the upper horizontal pipe and the membrane support of the frame. The water collection pipe is located on the outside of the vertical pipe.
[0005] The hollow fiber membrane module has an upper cavity and a lower cavity at its upper and lower ends, respectively. The two ends of the hollow fiber membrane filaments are connected to the upper cavity and the lower cavity, respectively. The upper cavity or the lower cavity is connected to the water collection pipe, which is connected to the product water pipe. The product water pipe is connected to the inlet of the product water pump. The aeration main pipe is connected to the aeration blower through the aeration connecting pipe. During operation, the filter membrane device is immersed in the sewage tank. The negative pressure of the product water pump draws water from the outside of the filter membrane through the filter membrane surface into the inside of the hollow fiber membrane. Then, it flows into the clear water tank through the product water pipe and the product water pump. Pollutants are trapped on the outside of the hollow fiber membrane.
[0006] Shortcomings of existing technology:
[0007] Sludge accumulates and coats the outer surface of membrane modules that have been in operation for a long time. When most of the hollow fiber membrane filaments or membrane sheets are tightly wrapped with sludge, the sludge becomes hard and compact due to the long-term suction force of the permeate pump during the operation of the filtration membrane device, thus reducing or eliminating the membrane module's water production capacity.
[0008] When conventional methods such as aeration and backwashing fail to remove sludge from the membrane module, the membrane module must be removed from the wastewater tank and disassembled for manual rinsing. This manual rinsing method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very likely to damage the membrane module. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The principle and operation of the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0036] Example 1: Self-cleaning operation of the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention with a cleaner lifting assembly.
[0037] When the self-cleaning membrane filter device of the present invention has been running for a period of time and the water output from the filter membrane decreases, the cleaning device lifting assembly of the self-cleaning membrane filter device of the present invention is activated. The cleaning device is moved up and down to clean the membrane assembly. Taking a cleaning device lifting assembly with lifting lugs as an example... Figure 3 , Figure 10As shown: The self-cleaning filter membrane device of this invention is submerged in a wastewater tank. The main aeration pipe is connected to an aeration blower via an aeration connecting pipe, and the water collection pipe is connected to a product water pump via a product water pipe. The cleaning water pump and cleaning blower are connected to the main cleaning pipe via a cleaning connecting pipe. The lifting lug is connected to the hook on a crane. During cleaning, the product water pump is first turned off, and the cleaning water pump is turned on. The cleaning water pump draws water from the cleaning tank and sprays it out through the cleaning branch pipe to rinse the surface of the membrane module. Alternatively, the cleaning blower is turned on to blow air onto the surface of the membrane module. Then, the crane is started, and the hook is slowly lowered. Under the action of gravity, the cleaning branch pipe slides down along the slide rail. When it slides to the bottom of the membrane module, the hook descent is stopped, and then the crane is used to lift the hook. The hook drives the cleaning branch pipe to move from bottom to top. Water or air is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the membrane module through the cleaning branch pipe, or the brush head is scraped. This is repeated three to five times to clean the sludge off the surface of the membrane module, allowing the membrane module to restore its water production flux. This invention's self-cleaning filter membrane device, equipped with a handwheel and motor-driven cleaning device lifting assembly, is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown: The lifting and lowering of the cleaner can also be achieved by turning the handwheel or starting the motor to rotate forward and reverse.

[0038] Example 2: Self-cleaning operation of the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention with a filter membrane lifting assembly.
[0039] When the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention is activated, and the filter membrane lifting assembly performs a cleaning operation by moving the membrane assembly up and down, taking a filter membrane lifting assembly with lifting lugs as an example, as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 11 As shown: The self-cleaning filtration membrane device of the present invention is immersed in a sewage tank. The lifting lug is connected to the hook on the crane. During cleaning, the permeate pump is first turned off, and the cleaning pump is turned on. The cleaning pump draws water from the cleaning tank and sprays it out through the cleaning branch pipe to rinse the surface of the membrane module. Alternatively, the cleaning fan is turned on to blow air onto the surface of the membrane module. Then, the crane is started, and the hook is slowly raised. The hook drives the inner upper horizontal pipe, inner lower horizontal pipe, and membrane module to rise along the slide rail. When the lower part of the membrane module is level with the cleaning branch pipe, the hook rise is stopped, and the crane is used to lower the hook. Under the pull of its own weight, the membrane module moves from top to bottom. Water or air is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the membrane module through the cleaning branch pipe, or the brush head scrapes it. This is repeated three to five times to clean the sludge off the surface of the membrane module, restoring the permeate flux of the membrane module. The self-cleaning filtration membrane device of the present invention, equipped with a filter membrane lifting component with a handwheel and a motor, is as follows. Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown: The membrane module can also be raised and lowered by turning the handwheel or starting the motor to rotate forward and reverse. After cleaning, the cleaning water pump and cleaning fan are turned off, and the product water pump is turned on to pump the water treated by the membrane module into the clear water tank and start the water production operation again.
[0040] Example 3: Self-cleaning operation of the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention with a cleaner side-shifting component.
[0041] When the self-cleaning filter membrane device of the present invention is activated, the cleaning device side-shifting assembly cleans the membrane module by moving the cleaning device left and right. Taking a cleaning device side-shifting assembly with lifting lugs as an example, Figure 7 , Figure 12 As shown: The self-cleaning membrane filtration device of the present invention is immersed in a wastewater tank. The lifting lugs are connected to the hooks on the crane. During cleaning, the permeate pump is first turned off, and the cleaning pump is turned on. The cleaning pump draws water from the cleaning tank and sprays it out through the cleaning branch pipe to rinse the surface of the membrane module. Alternatively, the cleaning fan is turned on to blow air onto the surface of the membrane module. Then, the crane is started, and the hook is slowly raised, driving the cable to pull the cleaning main pipe and moving the cleaning branch pipe from left to right along the gap of the membrane module. When the cleaning branch pipe moves to the right side of the membrane module, the hook is stopped from rising, and then the crane is used to lower the hook. At this time, under the pull of the weight of the basket, the cleaning branch pipe moves from right to left until it stops on the left side of the membrane module. Water or air is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the membrane module through the cleaning branch pipe, or the brush head is scraped. Repeating this three to five times will remove the sludge from the surface of the membrane module and restore the permeate flux of the membrane module. The self-cleaning membrane filtration device of the present invention, which is equipped with a handwheel and a motor-driven cleaning device side-moving component, is as follows. Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown: The left and right movement of the cleaner can also be achieved by turning the handwheel or starting the motor to rotate forward and reverse. After cleaning is completed, the cleaning water pump and cleaning fan are turned off, the product water pump is turned on, and the water treated by the membrane module is pumped into the clear water tank to start the water production operation again.
