The mounting frame is in the shape of a rectangular frame and includes a crossbeam and a column. The ultrafiltration tanks are arranged along the length of the column. The ultrafiltration tanks are divided into two groups, each group arranged along the length of the mounting frame; two rows of ultrafiltration tanks in the same group are staggered on both sides of the crossbeam; and fixed components are provided between the crossbeam of the mounting frame and the ultrafiltration tanks.

[0004] The above-mentioned ultrafiltration device has technical problems of uneven water distribution to varying degrees in water supply distribution, water production distribution, and backwash water distribution. If the water distribution is uneven, the flux of membrane components at different positions of the ultrafiltration membrane will be uneven, which will have a significant adverse impact on the operating effect.
