Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an ultrafiltration device for treating marine aquaculture source water. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, my country's demand for seafood has been increasing year by year, and the scale of aquaculture has also been expanding. Currently, my country's total aquaculture output ranks among the top in the world. Natural seawater contains plankton, algae, and microorganisms with vigorous metabolism and rapid reproduction. Therefore, it is necessary to sterilize and disinfect natural seawater obtained from the ocean to prevent it from carrying harmful microorganisms into artificial aquaculture systems, disrupting the microecological balance of the aquaculture water, and even causing serious consequences such as fish diseases. In addition, natural seawater also contains a large amount of silt and impurities, especially after strong winds and waves. If these microorganisms and silt are not removed, they may cause significant harm to seedling production.
[0003] For floating silt and impurities in natural seawater, methods such as sand filtration and coagulation sedimentation are generally used for removal. For viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms present in natural seawater, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and formaldehyde are commonly used as disinfectants. However, these methods result in high residual chlorine levels in the treated seawater, and chlorine disinfection produces some harmful byproducts. For example, since the 1970s, it has been discovered that chlorine disinfection produces halomethanes and haloacetic acids with carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects; at the end of the 20th century, a series of disinfection byproducts with even higher toxicity, such as halofuranones, haloacetonitrs, and halonitromethanes, were subsequently discovered. Ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers are also widely used in natural seawater disinfection. However, due to limitations in its process principle, UV disinfection has the following drawbacks: UV sterilization is only effective during irradiation; once the treated water leaves the sterilizer, it loses its residual disinfection capacity and is susceptible to secondary contamination. Even if a bacterium is not inactivated and enters a downstream system, it cannot prevent it from adhering to the surface of downstream pipes and multiplying. Only microorganisms that absorb UV light are inactivated; therefore, for water with high suspended solids and poor water quality, such as sewage, the disinfection effect is difficult to guarantee because suspended solids can protect microorganisms from harm. Furthermore, bacteria are not removed in the UV sterilizer but are transformed into pyrogens; the killed microorganisms and other pollutants become food for the surviving bacteria.
[0004] Membrane technology is applied to the pretreatment and purification of natural seawater. Through the high-efficiency sieving of membranes, almost all bacteria, pyrogens, viruses, colloidal particles, proteins, and large organic molecules in the solution can be retained. Ultrafiltration membranes can retain pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses solely through physical retention, without the addition of chemical agents. Therefore, they do not produce harmful substances and have no adverse effects on subsequent aquaculture systems, thus improving the survival rate of farmed aquatic products. However, an ultrafiltration membrane core alone, without the accompanying equipment, is insufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible and simple-structured ultrafiltration device for treating seawater sources used in aquaculture. Utility Model Content
