Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Whether domestic waste is buried in a landfill or incinerated in a waste incineration power plant, the treatment of leachate is a difficult problem. Currently, the end of leachate treatment is mostly nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Due to the complex composition of leachate, high COD, high salt, heavy metals, and high hardness, the membrane is polluted and blocked quickly. It is usually difficult to restore the performance of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes through online cleaning, especially for membranes that are severely polluted. Cross-contamination will occur during online cleaning, causing the membrane with less pollution at the end to be polluted twice.

Therefore, offline cleaning often only requires cleaning a few or two membrane elements at the water inlet. During online cleaning, pollutants in the membrane element channel may be hooked or adsorbed in the membrane roll, and unidirectional flushing cannot remove the pollutants. Utility Model Content
