Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a filter membrane element, belonging to the field of environmental wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a detachable tubular filter membrane element used in wastewater treatment projects. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, MBR (Mechanical Bioreactor) membranes are widely used in wastewater treatment, such as hollow fiber membranes, flat sheet membranes, and external tubular membranes submerged in the wastewater tank. The external tubular membrane bioreactor, or TMBR for short, is an MBR process mainly designed for treating high-concentration wastewater such as landfill leachate. It mainly consists of a biochemical system and an external tubular membrane system. It removes pollutants such as organic matter through biochemical reactions and separates sludge and water through the external tubular membrane, directly obtaining high-quality effluent. The concentrated water containing high-concentration sludge is returned to the wastewater tank. The external tubular membrane is set outside the wastewater tank and connected to the wastewater tank through a circulation pipeline. The pressure generated by the circulating water pump separates the sludge and water. Compared with submerged membranes set inside the wastewater tank, external tubular membranes are easier to operate and maintain.

[0003] External tubular filter membrane elements, such as Figure 7 As shown, it consists of an internal large-diameter filter membrane and an outer cylindrical membrane shell. The membrane shell is composed of a straight tube in the middle and connectors at both ends with a diameter larger than the straight tube in the middle. The outlet pipe is located at the connector. The large-diameter filter membrane, also called a tubular membrane, generally has a diameter between 5 mm and 15 mm. The large-diameter filter membrane is placed inside the membrane shell, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the connectors at both ends of the membrane shell through end caps. The end caps are provided with through holes that connect to the cavity inside the large-diameter filter membrane. The outlet pipe is located on the side of the connector. Wastewater passes through the membrane tube cavity of the tubular filter membrane, while clean water passes through the filter membrane, enters the space between the filter membrane and the membrane shell, and then flows out through the outlet pipe into the clear water tank.

[0004] The existing external tubular filter membrane elements have the following drawbacks: the filter membrane tubes become clogged and difficult to clean during operation.

[0005] When the cavity inside the large-diameter filter tube of an external tubular filter element becomes clogged and needs cleaning, the large-diameter filter tube inside cannot be removed because both ends are sealed. This makes cleaning very difficult, time-consuming, and laborious. Often, the large-diameter filter tube is punctured when a hard tubular object is inserted into it to clear the blockage, rendering the external tubular filter unusable. Summary of the Invention
