[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of landfill leachate treatment, and in particular relates to a backwashable tubular membrane system for landfill leachate. Background Art

[0002] Landfill leachate has become one of the most difficult industrial wastewaters to treat due to its high concentration of organic pollutants, high concentration of ammonia nitrogen, and complex pollutant composition. However, with the rapid growth of my country's national economy and the rapid advancement of social development, low-concentration and easily biochemically treated wastewater treatment technology has become increasingly mature. Among them, tubular membrane technology has the advantages of stable operation, small footprint, low operating cost, high organic matter removal rate and suspended solids removal rate, and has become the mainstream technology for landfill leachate treatment. In addition, this technology can also be applied to many fields such as food waste resource utilization, petroleum and pharmaceutical wastewater, wastewater softening, oilfield production and reinjection water, electronic wastewater, and sewage reuse.

However, during long-term operation, the end surface fiber material may be blocked, and the membrane surface or membrane pores may be blocked by sludge, which will affect the normal operation of the tubular membrane device. Once the above problems occur, the most common treatment method is to shut down the device for membrane cleaning and chemical cleaning. However, during repeated membrane cleaning and cleaning, the tubular membrane layer is easily damaged or even unusable, which reduces the service life of the membrane. Utility Model Content

[0040] In one application scenario, during the chemical cleaning stage, the backwash pump, cleaning / flushing valve, cleaning concentrate valve, and water production valve need to be turned on, and the circulation pump and other valves are closed; a solution prepared with corresponding reagents and water is added to the water production tank, and the cleaning water is transported from the water production tank to the water inlet end a of the tubular membrane module via the backwash pump and the cleaning / flushing valve, and chemical cleaning is performed in the same direction as the water production of the tubular membrane module, and the cleaning water is transported to the water production tank via the water production pipe and the cleaning concentrate pipe; optionally, the cleaning method can be circulation for 2 hours - soaking for 2 hours - circulation for 2 hours, and the order of chemical cleaning is acid cleaning - clean water cleaning - alkali cleaning - clean water cleaning, etc.
