Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to an MBR membrane system provided with a pulse cleaning and dosing device. Background Art
[0002] MBR membrane systems are widely used in the construction, renovation or expansion of sewage treatment plants and small and medium-sized integrated sewage treatment equipment due to their excellent and stable effluent quality, small footprint, strong anti-pollution ability and easy maintenance. There are two existing cleaning methods for MBR membrane systems: one is to dosing through continuous backwashing, and the other is to dosing directly into the membrane tank. The direct dosing cleaning method consumes a lot of chemicals, and the water pipes and membrane fibers are difficult to clean. The continuous backwashing and dosing cleaning method usually requires a separate cleaning pump, with complex equipment and piping configurations and many control points. In addition, the water tanks, membrane tanks and dosing devices of existing membrane systems are usually dispersed, occupying a large area, and are not suitable for the renovation and expansion of various sewage treatment projects. In addition, the water replenishment of existing dosing devices is usually pumped to the dosing storage tank with tap water or a newly added water replenishment pump, resulting in waste of water resources and power. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, a backwash flow meter is provided on the backwash pipeline, which is located between the backwash pump and the pipeline mixer. It is used to monitor the backwash water volume and ensure that the backwash water is 20-30L / (m 2h) high-flux flushing of the membrane fibers. The reagent enters from the outlet end of the membrane (i.e., the water production end) and flows through the membrane fibers to the inlet end (i.e., the raw water end).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and a preferred embodiment. Example
[0024] See Figure 1-Figure 3 This embodiment provides an MBR membrane system equipped with a pulse cleaning and dosing device, including a water production tank 1, a membrane tank 8, a membrane module 7, an acid cleaning and dosing device, an alkaline cleaning and dosing device and a reagent platform 14.
[0025] Water production tank 1 is located on the side of membrane tank 8. Below this tank is an installation space, within which the dosing device is located.

The outlet of the water production pump 12 is connected to the water production tank 1 through a second water production pipe, which is connected to the water production tank 1 through a bell mouth 13.
[0028] The water production tank 1 is connected to the membrane module 7 via a backwash pump 3 and backwash piping. The backwash pump 3 is installed below the water production tank 1. Its inlet is connected to the water production tank 1 via a first backwash pipe 2. The outlet of the backwash pump 3 is connected to the first water production pipe 9 between the water production automatic valve 11 and the pressure transmitter 10 via a second backwash pipe. The second backwash pipe is sequentially equipped with a backwash flowmeter 4, a pipeline mixer 5, and a backwash automatic valve 6. The outlet of the backwash automatic valve 6 is connected to the inlet of the water production automatic valve 11. The water in the water production tank 1 is measured by the backwash flowmeter 4 and then pumped into the membrane module 7 via the backwash pump 3 for backwashing.
[0029] The alkali wash dosing device includes an alkali dosing tank 2-1, an alkali dosing pump 2-2, and an automatic alkali dosing valve 2-4, connected in sequence via an alkali dosing pipe 2-5. The alkali dosing tank 2-1 and the alkali dosing pump 2-2 are installed below the water production tank 1. In this embodiment, a covered dosing port is provided at the top of the alkali dosing tank 2-1 for adding reagent, which is placed on a reagent platform 14. A water refill port is provided above the alkali dosing tank 2-1, connected to the water production tank 1 via an alkali dosing water refill pipe 2-7. An automatic alkali dosing water refill valve 2-6 is installed on the alkali dosing water refill pipe 2-7. An alkali dosing water refill valve 2-6 is also installed on the alkali dosing tank 2-1. An alkali reagent level gauge 2-3 is also provided on the alkali dosing tank 2-1.
[0030] The pickling dosing system includes an acid dosing tank 3-1, an acid dosing pump 3-2, and an automatic acid dosing valve 3-4, connected in sequence via an acid dosing pipe 3-5. The acid dosing tank 3-1 and the acid dosing pump 3-2 are installed below the water production tank. In this embodiment, a covered dosing port is provided at the top of the acid dosing tank 3-1 for adding reagents. The reagents are placed on a reagent platform 14, which is located on one side of the acid dosing tank 3-1. A water inlet is provided above the acid dosing tank 3-1, connected to the water production tank 1 via an acid dosing water inlet pipe 3-7. An automatic acid dosing water inlet valve 3-6 is installed on the acid dosing water inlet pipe 3-7. A pickling reagent level gauge 3-3 is also provided on the acid dosing tank 3-1.
[0031] Preferably, the water production pump 12 and backwash pump 3 are variable frequency centrifugal pumps, while the alkaline dosing pump 2-2 and acidic dosing pump 3-2 are metering pumps. The pipeline mixer 5 is made of a material that is resistant to both acid and alkali. The backwash flowmeter 4 is an electromagnetic flowmeter. The alkaline dosing tank 2-1 and acidic dosing tank 3-1 are made of PE, PP, or FRP. The alkaline agent level gauge 2-3 and the pickling agent level gauge 3-3 are magnetic flap level gauges or submersible level gauges.
[0032] The working mode of the utility model is:
[0033] When the membrane system is in operation mode, it operates in a mode of producing water for 8-12 minutes and backwashing for 20-40 seconds.
[0034] In the water production mode, the backwash pump 3 stops running, the backwash automatic valve 6 is closed, the water production automatic valve 11 is opened, and the water production pump 12 is started. When the water production pump 12 starts working, the air inside the pump and the pipeline is extracted, forming a negative pressure at the end, and the water filtered and purified by the MBR is sucked into the pump through suction, and then pumped to the water production pool 1 above.
[0035] Backwashing is performed after 8-12 minutes of water production;
[0036] During backwashing, the water production pump 12 stops running, the water production automatic valve 11 is closed, and the backwash automatic valve 6 is opened. When the backwash automatic valve 6 is fully opened, the backwash pump 3 is started. After the backwash pump 3 is started, the timing starts, and the backwash timing is 20-40s.
[0037] When backwashing is completed, the backwash pump 3 is turned off. After the backwash pump 3 is turned off, the backwash automatic valve 6 is closed, the water production automatic valve 11 is opened, and the water production pump 12 is started to produce water.
[0038] When the transmembrane pressure difference reaches 0.3 bar, the system executes the alkaline cleaning mode;
[0039] (1.1) First, the alkaline agent level meter 2-3 is used to determine whether the alkaline dosing tank 2-1 meets the start-up conditions of the alkaline dosing pump 2-2. If the start-up conditions are not met, the alkaline dosing water replenishment automatic valve 2-6 is opened, and the produced water flows by gravity through the alkaline dosing water replenishment pipe 2-7 to the alkaline dosing tank 2-1, and alkaline agent is added through the agent platform 14;
[0040] (1.2) When the liquid level in the alkaline dosing tank 2-1 reaches the start-up requirement, the system executes the alkaline agent cleaning mode, the water production pump 12 and the water production automatic valve 11 are closed in sequence, and the backwash automatic valve 6, backwash pump 3, alkaline dosing automatic valve 2-4, and alkaline agent dosing pump 2-2 are opened in sequence. The timing starts after the alkaline agent dosing pump 2-2 is started;
[0041] (1.3) When the alkaline agent cleaning timer reaches 1-5 minutes, turn off the alkaline agent dosing pump 2-2, the alkaline agent automatic valve 2-4, the backwash pump 3, and the backwash automatic valve 6 in sequence. Start timing after the backwash automatic valve 6 is closed. After the entire cleaning system is left to stand for 3-5 minutes, restart the alkaline cleaning step.
[0042] Depending on the membrane fouling situation, repeat steps (1.1) to (1.3) 3-5 times. The alkaline cleaning mode is completed and the membrane system resumes the operating mode, i.e., water production for 8-12 minutes and backwashing for 20-40 seconds.
[0043] After the alkaline cleaning mode is executed 5 times in a row, the system executes the acid cleaning mode:
[0044] (2.1) First, determine whether the acid dosing tank 3-1 meets the start-up conditions for the acid dosing pump 3-2 based on the acid reagent level gauge 3-3. If the start-up conditions are not met, open the acid dosing water replenishment automatic valve 3-6, and the produced water flows by gravity through the acid dosing water replenishment pipe 3-7 to the acid dosing tank 3-1, and the acid reagent is added through the reagent platform 14.
[0045] (2.2) When the liquid level in the acid dosing tank 3-1 reaches the startup requirement, the system executes the acid agent cleaning mode, closes the water production pump 12 and the water production automatic valve 11 in sequence, and opens the backwash automatic valve 6, the backwash pump 3, the acid dosing automatic valve 3-4, and the acid agent dosing pump 3-2 in sequence. The timing starts after the acid agent dosing pump 3-2 is started.
[0046] (2.3) When the acid cleaning timer reaches 1-5 minutes, turn off the acid dosing pump 3-2, the acid dosing automatic valve 3-4, the backwash pump 3, and the backwash automatic valve 6 in sequence. When the backwash automatic valve 6 is closed, start the timer. When the entire cleaning system is left to stand for 3-5 minutes, restart the acid cleaning step.
[0047] Depending on the membrane fouling situation, repeat steps (2.1) to (2.3) 3-5 times. The acid cleaning mode is completed and the membrane system resumes the operating mode, i.e., water production for 8-12 minutes and backwashing for 20-40 seconds.
[0048] By adopting a cleaning cycle of 1-5 minutes and a resting cycle of 3-5 minutes, alternating between cycles 3-5 times, the cleaning agent is periodically added, creating a pulsed dosing cleaning mode. The cleaning agent flows through the membrane filaments at a high flow rate in a very short period of time, removing dirt from the membrane filaments with a powerful flushing force, quickly restoring the membrane flux and performance, and improving cleaning efficiency. After cleaning, the membrane is allowed to rest, and no cleaning agent is required during the resting phase, reducing the amount of agent added during the cleaning process.
[0049] During the cleaning phase, the agent is heated at a rate of 20-30 L / (m 2h) high-flux flushing membrane fibers, entering from the outlet end of the membrane (i.e., the usual water production end), flowing through the membrane fibers toward the inlet end (i.e., the raw water end), fully contacting the membrane fiber pores and membrane fiber surfaces, increasing the contact area between pollutants and the reagent. This reverse flow helps loosen and flush away dirt and sediment attached to the membrane fibers, enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0050] During the resting phase, the agent remains within the membrane for a period of time, allowing it to fully contact and react with stubborn dirt on the membrane, thereby enhancing its cleaning effect. Furthermore, resting helps evenly distribute the agent within the membrane, ensuring that the entire membrane is effectively cleaned.
[0051] It is preferred to clean with alkaline agent for 1-5 minutes, let it stand for 3-5 minutes, and repeat 3-5 times. Clean with acidic agent for 1-5 minutes, let it stand for 3-5 minutes, and repeat 3-5 times.
[0052] When multiple membrane pools 8 are arranged in parallel, each membrane pool 8 is provided with one membrane module 7, or when there is one membrane pool and eight membrane modules 7 are provided in the membrane pool, when one membrane module executes the chemical cleaning mode, the other membrane modules 7 execute the operation mode. The membrane modules in the operation mode operate in a mode of producing water for 9 minutes and standing for 1 minute.
[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
