Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of anti-blocking reverse osmosis water treatment devices, belong to water treatment field. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main process of wastewater reuse device is pretreatment, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and concentrated water catalytic oxidation. Among them, the reverse osmosis system is the main core process, and the water produced is the final water for reuse. Reverse osmosis is also the system with the most routine maintenance. Since the water source of the reuse device comes from sewage such as sea water discharge and circulating water sewage, the water contains trace amounts of microorganisms, slime, and flocculants such as PAC and PAM. These substances can easily cause reverse osmosis membrane fouling, resulting in frequent chemical cleaning of reverse osmosis, reducing the service life of the membrane, reducing the output of the device, and increasing the consumption of cleaning chemicals and manual labor.

[0003] Reverse osmosis membranes need to be chemically cleaned every half month or so, which seriously affects production, and frequent cleaning also rapidly reduces the desalination efficiency of reverse osmosis membranes. Reverse osmosis fouling mainly occurs at the front end of the first stage, i.e. the water inlet end. The main way to solve fouling is to strengthen pretreatment, but this often does not have a significant effect, especially in summer when the temperature is high, microorganisms reproduce quickly, and there are many colloidal substances, making fouling particularly severe, resulting in a series of problems such as reduced reverse osmosis production, increased energy consumption, reduced service life, and increased sewage discharge during cleaning. SUMMARY

[0004] According to the problems described in the background, the utility model solves the following problems:

[0005] Reverse osmosis membranes are prone to fouling and require frequent chemical cleaning, which reduces the service life of the membranes.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] A reverse osmosis water treatment device is provided, which includes a high-pressure pump, a reverse osmosis first-stage membrane, an inter-stage pump, a reverse osmosis second-stage membrane, and a bidirectional flushing device. The sewage is sent to the water inlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane by the high-pressure pump, and after passing through the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane, the water outlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane is connected to the inter-stage pump through a concentrated water pipeline. The water outlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane is connected to the water production main pipe through a first-stage water production pipeline. The inter-stage pump is connected to the water inlet end of the reverse osmosis second-stage membrane, and the water outlet end of the reverse osmosis second-stage membrane is provided with a concentrated water discharge line and a second-stage water production pipeline. The second-stage water production pipeline is connected to the water production main pipe. The bidirectional flushing device includes a forward flushing pipeline, a reverse flushing pipeline, and a sewage discharge pipeline. The forward flushing pipeline is connected to the water inlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane, the reverse flushing pipeline is connected to the concentrated water pipeline, and the sewage discharge pipeline is connected to the water inlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane and the water outlet end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane.

[0008] Preferably, the bidirectional flushing device uses the water produced by the device as flushing water.

[0009] Preferably, the forward flushing pipeline and the reverse flushing pipeline are each provided with an electric valve, the blowdown pipeline is provided with an electric valve at the connection between the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane water inlet end and the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane water outlet end, and the electric valves are adjusted by a DCS control system.

[0010] During long-time operation or shutdown of the reverse osmosis device, low-pressure flushing needs to be performed periodically using product water, mainly for preventing concentration polarization of the concentrated water on the membrane surface, thereby causing fouling of the membrane surface, and flushing away part of the residues on the membrane surface with high-quality water. The fouling mainly concentrates on the front end of the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane and is often viscous, and is difficult to flush away. Since the forward flushing is from front to back, even if the fouling is flushed away, the fouling will enter the next membrane, causing the fouling to penetrate deeper and deeper. If the reverse flushing is increased, the fouling will be directly flushed out of the system from the first-stage membrane, without fouling the membrane elements in the rear stage.

[0011] The reverse flushing connects the flushing water to the concentrated water pipeline, and simultaneously connects the blowdown pipeline from the reverse osmosis first-stage membrane water inlet end. The blowdown pipeline is provided with a corresponding electric valve, the control system is connected to the indoor DCS control system, and the program control operation program is modified. When the forward flushing water is completed, the reverse flushing is immediately performed, the water flows from the rear end to the front end, and is then flushed out by the water inlet pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] The chemical cleaning frequency of the utility model in summer and autumn is prolonged from the original 15-20 days once to nearly 40 days, thereby greatly improving the fouling problem of the membrane. After the transformation, the service life of the reverse osmosis membrane is estimated to be prolonged by at least one-third, i.e., about 8 months, the consumption of the membrane is reduced, and the water production cost is reduced.
