Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of monitoring, in particular to a device for online real-time monitoring of organic tubular membrane components and stainless steel composite ceramic membrane components. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of water treatment technology, organic tubular membrane modules and stainless steel composite ceramic membrane modules are increasingly used in water treatment applications such as wastewater treatment and seawater desalination. In particular, membrane modules play a vital role in filtering and separating critical substances in large-scale industrial water treatment and seawater desalination processes. However, membrane modules face numerous challenges during long-term operation, such as membrane fouling, flow rate reduction, and the accumulation of dissolved solids. These factors can affect the treatment performance and service life of the membrane modules. Therefore, selecting high-quality membrane modules and monitoring their operating status in practical applications have become urgent issues.
[0003] Despite the wide variety of membrane modules available, existing technologies lack real-time monitoring capabilities for their operational status. Most monitoring devices only detect a single parameter and cannot fully reflect the module's performance. This is particularly true in complex operating conditions such as wastewater treatment and desalination, where different membrane modules exhibit varying performance in terms of pressure, flow rate, and water quality. The lack of effective monitoring devices makes it difficult for operators to monitor changes in membrane module performance, hindering timely adjustments and maintenance. This can lead to decreased system efficiency and even the risk of membrane module failure.
[0004] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1
[0021] This device comprises a booster pump, a digital pressure gauge, an electronic flow meter, a TDS monitor, and a data acquisition unit. The booster pump is connected to an organic tubular membrane module and a stainless steel composite ceramic membrane module via pipes. The digital pressure gauge, electronic flow meter, and TDS monitor are installed on the inlet and outlet pipes of the membrane modules, respectively. The data acquisition unit is electrically connected to these instruments and collects and stores monitoring data. In this device, the booster pump's primary function is to provide continuous pressure throughout the system, ensuring that water flows through the membrane modules for filtration. The digital pressure gauge monitors the inlet pressure in real time, the electronic flow meter measures the inlet and outlet flow rates, and the TDS monitor measures the total dissolved solids content in the water, thereby assessing filtration effectiveness. The data acquisition unit is connected to these sensing devices via cables, collecting monitoring data in real time and providing an interface for data storage and subsequent analysis, enabling system operators to intuitively understand the system's operating status.
[0022] Specifically, the booster pump's outlet is connected to the water inlet of the organic tubular membrane assembly via a pipe, and the organic tubular membrane assembly's outlet is connected to the water inlet of the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly via a pipe. The stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly's outlet is connected to the inlet of an electronic flow meter and a TDS monitor. This series configuration allows water to flow sequentially through the organic tubular membrane assembly and the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly, fully utilizing the different filtration characteristics of the two membrane assemblies. The former is suitable for processing larger particles or lower concentrations of impurities, while the latter is capable of more refined filtration. The treated water is measured by an electronic flow meter and a TDS monitor to ensure filtration quality, providing high-precision monitoring.
[0023] Specifically, a digital pressure gauge is installed on the inlet pipe between the booster pump and the organic tubular membrane module to monitor the inlet pressure in real time. An electronic flowmeter is installed on the outlet pipe of the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane module to measure the outlet flow rate. Real-time monitoring of the inlet pressure ensures that the organic tubular membrane module operates within the appropriate pressure range, preventing damage or loss of efficiency caused by excessively high or low pressure. The electronic flowmeter ensures the stability of the outlet flow, which is crucial for overall system efficiency and operational stability.
[0024] Specifically, the TDS monitor is installed on the outlet pipe downstream of the electronic flow meter to detect the total dissolved solids content in the water after treatment by the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly.
[0025] This setting ensures that at the final stage of the filtration process, the treated water can be accurately tested for TDS to determine the purity of the water. This is especially important for applications that require high water quality, ensuring that the device can effectively monitor water quality.
[0026] Specifically, the data collector is connected to the digital pressure gauge, electronic flow meter and TDS monitor via cables to collect real-time data and store it in the internal storage module. It also has data transmission function for subsequent data analysis.
[0027] The data collector not only collects and stores real-time system operating data but also transmits it to a remote monitoring system via its internal communication module. This provides operators with comprehensive real-time monitoring and historical data analysis capabilities, enabling rapid problem identification and resolution, and improving overall system operational efficiency.
[0028] Specifically, the data collector is provided with a wireless communication module, which transmits the monitoring data to the remote monitoring system via a wireless network, thereby realizing remote monitoring of the operating status of the device.
[0029] The application of this wireless communication module enables not only local monitoring but also real-time monitoring of equipment operation via remote systems. This design enhances the system's intelligence and facilitates remote operation and maintenance, especially in industrial environments where unattended operation is required.
[0030] Specifically, the inlet end of the booster pump is connected to the water source through an inlet pipe, and the outlet end of the booster pump is connected to a digital pressure gauge through a section of an inlet pipe, and the organic tubular membrane assembly and the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly are connected in sequence to form a series structure.
[0031] This series structure simplifies the system piping layout, making the water flow path clearer and reducing installation complexity. With sufficient pressure provided by the booster pump, water flows sequentially through the organic tubular membrane modules and the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane modules, ensuring multi-stage filtration and improving treated water quality.
[0032] Specifically, the water outlet of the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly is connected to the electronic flow meter through the outlet pipe, the outlet end of the electronic flow meter is connected to the TDS monitor, and finally connected to the water outlet.
[0033] This structure ensures that filtered water can be safely discharged or used further after accurate flow and TDS testing. The combined use of electronic flow meters and TDS monitors enables real-time monitoring of water flow and quality, ensuring stable system operation and the output of high-quality treated water.
[0034] Specifically, the device also includes an automatic cleaning module, which is connected between the water inlet and the water outlet of the stainless steel composite ceramic membrane assembly through a pipeline and is used to automatically start a cleaning program when an abnormal situation is detected.
[0035] The automatic cleaning module can ensure that when the filtration performance of the membrane component is detected to be degraded or blocked, the cleaning process can be automatically started to avoid contamination or damage of the membrane component caused by long-term operation, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and improving the automation level of the system.
[0036] Specifically, the digital pressure gauge, electronic flow meter and TDS monitor are respectively provided with an alarm device. When the detection parameters exceed the preset range, the alarm device sends an alarm signal and notifies the data collector.
[0037] The design of the alarm mechanism in this application improves the safety and operability of the device. When a parameter in the system becomes abnormal, the operator can immediately receive an alarm and take appropriate action, avoiding larger problems caused by equipment failure or operational errors.
[0038] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
