Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a continuous production washing negative pressure type rotary ceramic membrane equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of biological fermentation broth, most of the fermentation broth is treated by traditional separation equipment such as plate frame, vacuum drum and centrifugal, or by flocculation sedimentation, heating and isoelectric point precipitation method. These methods can only achieve rough separation of mycelium and solid impurities in the fermentation broth. In the semi-finished or finished liquid, there may still be a large amount of soluble mycelium, impurities, free antibodies and inorganic ions. These substances bring challenges to the later extraction and ion exchange process, affect the extraction efficiency and the quality of the final product, and even may cause the liquid pollution, thereby making the product scrap.

[0003] Rotary ceramic membrane separation technology has been successfully applied to the removal of impurities and refining production process of fermentation broth, solving the separation, purification and concentration problems in the industrial production of fermentation broth, and realizing the goals of energy saving and clean production.

[0004] The rotary ceramic membrane equipment is a new type of membrane separation equipment, which combines the technical principles of centrifuge and membrane equipment. The ceramic membrane used in the equipment is in the shape of a disc, with several curve type flow guide grooves designed inside and a membrane layer coated on the outside.

[0005] The operating principle of the rotary ceramic membrane equipment is to stack several ceramic membrane sheets on a hollow shaft and place the whole in a pressure vessel. The membrane sheets are driven to rotate at high speed by rotating the hollow shaft, and the cross flow generated by rotation acts between the membrane surface and the material in the vessel to realize the filtration process.

[0006] The axial flow rotary ceramic membrane filter, as a high-precision filtration and separation equipment, organically combines the technical characteristics of centrifuge and membrane filtration, not only has nanometer-level filtration precision, but also realizes stable filtration performance and energy saving effect.

[0007] Compared with tubular ceramic membranes, the rotary ceramic membrane resists pollution and blockage by high-speed rotation of the membrane sheet assembly, rather than relying on a large flow circulating pump to flush the membrane surface to prevent pollution. The high shear force generated on the membrane surface forms a rotational flow, and this shear force can effectively remove the filter cake layer on the membrane surface for a long time, realize efficient cleaning of the membrane surface, maintain a large flux, and is suitable for concentration and separation of high-concentration, high-viscosity and high-solid-content materials.

[0008] However, the existing rotary ceramic membrane sequentially performs water production, backwashing and other steps during operation, and the single rotary ceramic membrane unit belongs to a batch operation mode, which is not suitable for continuous production requirements. Therefore, further improvement is needed to meet the requirements of industrial continuous production. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
