[0021] The mesh diameters of the first filter 34 and the second filter 42 are smaller than the diameter of the cleaning particles 36 , which can effectively intercept the cleaning particles 36 and facilitate the circulation and recovery of the cleaning particles 36 .
[0022] The working process of a tubular membrane online particle cleaning system of the present invention is as follows: when a new system is just started and particle cleaning is not required, the clean water pump 28 is not started, valve one 2, valve two 4, valve three 10, valve four 11, valve five 13 and valve six 15 are opened, and other valves are closed. The circulation pump 3 is started to pump raw water into the tubular membrane assembly 5 for filtration. After the filtered concentrated water comes out of the concentrated water outlet, it is divided into two paths. One path passes through the first concentrated water branch 6, the first particle recoverer 8 and the circulation pipeline 12 and then returns to the raw water inlet pipeline 1 for circulation filtration. The other path passes through the second concentrated water branch 7, the second particle recoverer 9 and the first concentrated water return pipeline 14 and then returns to the raw water for circulation filtration, thereby realizing normal membrane filtration of the raw water.
[0023] When the membrane filtration system is contaminated and needs to be cleaned, open valve 12 29, start the clean water pump 28, and then open valve 11 25. Use the clean water pump 28 to add the cleaning particles 36 in the particle adder to the raw water inlet pipe 1 through the particle adding pipe 24. After all the cleaning particles have entered the system, close valve 11 25 and valve 12 29, turn off the clean water pump 28, and the cleaning particles 36 enter the tubular membrane assembly 5 with the raw water to clean the membrane, and then enter the particle collector. When all the cleaning particles 36 have entered the first particle collector 8 and the second particle collector 9, open valve 7 18, valve 8 20, valve 9 22 and valve 10 2 3. The cleaning particles 36 enter the particle feeder 17 together with the concentrated water through the first particle recovery line 16 and the second particle recovery line 19. The concentrated water returns to the raw water through the second concentrated water return line 21 and the first concentrated water return line 14. All the cleaning particles 36 return to the particle feeder 17. Then, close valve seven 18, valve eight 20, valve nine 22 and valve ten 23, start the clean water pump 28, open valve twelve 29 and valve thirteen 44, and use clean water to rinse the cleaning particles 36. This completes one tubular membrane online particle cleaning. The above process can be repeated until the membrane flux recovers to the target flux, thus achieving online particle cleaning without shutting down the membrane system.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that a first connecting pipeline 45 is set between the circulation pipeline 12 and the concentrated water outlet of the tubular membrane module 5, and a valve 14 46 is provided on the first connecting pipeline 45; a second connecting pipeline 47 is set between the concentrated water outlet of the tubular membrane module 5 and the first concentrated water return pipeline 14, and a valve 15 48 is provided on the second connecting pipeline 47; a third connecting pipeline 49 is set between the clean water pipeline 26 and the second concentrated water return pipeline 21; a fourth connecting pipeline 50 is set between the first concentrated water branch 6 and the second concentrated water return pipeline 21, and a valve 16 51 is provided on the fourth connecting pipeline 50.
[0026] The working process of a tubular membrane online particle cleaning system of the present invention is as follows: when a new system is just started and particle cleaning is not required, the clean water pump 28 is not started, valve 1 2, valve 2 4, valve 14 46 and valve 15 48 are opened, and other valves are closed. The circulation pump 3 is started to pump raw water into the tubular membrane assembly 5 for filtration, and the concentrated water is divided into two paths through the concentrated water outlet. One path passes through the first connecting pipeline 45 and the circulation pipeline 12 and then enters the raw water inlet pipeline 1 for circulation filtration, and the other path passes through the second connecting pipeline 47 and the first concentrated water return pipeline 14 and then enters the raw water for circulation filtration, thereby realizing normal membrane filtration of the raw water.
[0027] When the membrane filtration system is contaminated and needs to be cleaned, first open valve three 10, valve four 11, valve five 13 and valve six 15, close valve fourteen 46 and valve fifteen 48, then open valve eleven 25 and valve twelve 29, start the clean water pump 28, and use the clean water pump 28 to add the cleaning particles 36 in the particle feeder 17 to the raw water inlet pipe 1 through the particle feeding pipe 24. After all the cleaned particles 36 enter the system, close valve eleven 25 and valve twelve 29, turn off the clean water pump 28, and clean the particles. 36 enters the tubular membrane assembly 5 with the raw water to clean the membrane. Then, the cleaning particles 36 follow the concentrated water through the first concentrated water branch 6 and the second concentrated water branch 7 and enter the first particle recovery device 8 and the second particle recovery device 9. The concentrated water entering the first particle recovery device 8 enters the raw water inlet pipe 1 through the circulation pipe 12. The concentrated water entering the second particle recovery device 9 returns to the raw water through the first concentrated water return pipe 14. When all the cleaning particles 36 enter the first particle recovery device 8 and the second particle recovery device 9, first open the Valve 14 46 and valve 15 48 are closed, valve 3 10, valve 4 11, valve 5 13 and valve 6 15 are closed, then valve 10 23, valve 8 20, valve 7 18, valve 16 51 and valve 13 44 are opened, the clean water pump 28 is started, and a portion of the clean water passes through the clean water pipe 26, the third connecting pipe 49, the second concentrated water return pipe 21, and the first concentrated water return pipe 14 into the second particle collector 9 to flush the cleaned particles 36 back to the particle feeder 17 through the second particle recovery pipe 19, and a portion of the clean water is returned to the particle feeder 17 through the second particle recovery pipe 19. The clean water enters the first particle recoverer 8 through the clean water pipeline 26, the third connecting pipeline 49, the second concentrated water return pipeline 21, the fourth connecting pipeline 50 and the first concentrated water branch 6, and the cleaned particles 36 are flushed back to the particle feeder 17 through the first particle recovery pipeline 16. The excess water is discharged through the drainage pipeline 43. When all the cleaned particles 36 return to the particle feeder 17, the online particle cleaning of the tubular membrane is completed. The above process can be repeated until the membrane flux recovers to the target flux, thereby realizing online particle cleaning without shutting down the membrane system.
[0028] When the membrane flux after cleaning reaches the target flux, all the cleaned particles 36 return to the particle feeder 17, close valve 10 23, valve 8 20, valve 7 18 and valve 16 51, open valve 12 29 and valve 13 44, start the clean water pump 28, rinse the particles with clean water until no dirt is discharged, stop the clean water pump, close valve 12 29 and valve 13 44, and wait for the next cleaning.
[0029] Compared with Example 1, in Example 2, the raw water filtration system no longer passes through the particle recovery device, and when the cleaned particles are flushed back to the particle feeder, they are directly flushed back with clean water, which plays a certain cleaning role while recycling and can directly enter the next cleaning system.
[0030] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
