[0032] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a kind of post-curtain type MBR membrane device, the post-curtain type MBR membrane device includes the membrane shell 100 formed with containing cavity 110, MBR membrane module 200 in containing cavity 110, fluid flow passage 111 is formed between the outer circumferential surface of MBR membrane module 200 and the inner wall of containing cavity 110;MBR membrane module 200 includes upper fixed end head 210, lower fixed end head 220, membrane filament 230 being arranged between upper fixed end head 210 and lower fixed end head 220, water production end cover 240 being connected with the inside of membrane filament 230, the lower end of membrane shell 100 is provided with water inlet 121 and air inlet 122, which are all communicated with containing cavity 110, the upper end of membrane shell 100 is provided with water production outlet pipe 131 and overflow 132 respectively, and overflow 132 is communicated with containing cavity 110;The upper portion of water production end cover 240 is inserted in water production outlet pipe 131, and lower fixed end head 220 is detachably connected with the lower portion inside containing cavity 110.
[0034] In the example, the column curtain type MBR membrane device further comprises a support 140 with a through hole 141, the support 140 is fixedly arranged at the lower part of the inner cavity 110, and the lower fixed end 220 is detachably connected with the support 140, for example, can be detachably connected on the support 140 through bolts 400. Further, the support 140 comprises a support ring 142 and a support leg 143 for connecting the support ring 142 to the inner wall of the cavity 110, the through hole 141 is formed on the support ring 142, the diameter of the support ring 142 is smaller than the width of the cavity 110, and the support ring 142 and the support leg 143 can be integrally formed to constitute the support 140; the material of the support ring 142 and the material of the support leg 143 can be polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a polymer generated by free radical polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), has the advantages of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc., and has small density and relatively light weight. In the actual operation process, the support leg 143 can be hot melt welded to the inner wall of the cavity 110, the support leg 143 is preferably arranged symmetrically in two or arranged at intervals in three directions respectively to achieve more favorable support of the membrane assembly, and the arrangement of the support leg 143 can basically not affect the passage of sewage, and has a certain flow disturbance effect. The support leg 143 can be arranged obliquely, which can better disturb the sewage and make the sewage have good dispersion flowability during rising, so as to avoid the occurrence of local deposition pollution; in addition, the support ring 142 with the through hole is arranged, on the one hand, it can have a guiding and shunting effect on the sewage entering the membrane assembly, increase the output efficiency of water production, on the other hand, the existence of the support ring 142 will change the pore size of fluid flow in the local part, and then make the sewage produce local flow rate difference during rising, which is beneficial to disperse and evenly flow the sewage to all directions, reduces the possibility of local sludge accumulation, and after the lower end of the MBR membrane assembly 200 is fixed, the rapidly rising sewage will not drive the membrane assembly to impact the inner wall of the chamber, which protects the operation stability and prolongs the service life.
[0035] In this example, the support ring 142 divides the cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber 112, the upper chamber includes a fluid flow channel 111, and the bottom of the lower chamber 112 has an outwardly convex arc surface 1121. The presence of the lower chamber 112 can provide sufficient mixing of the incoming sewage and aeration. The design of the arc surface can make the incoming sewage have an upward tangential force, which is beneficial for rapid upward movement and reduces long-term impact on the inner wall. Furthermore, it also provides a certain degree of turbulence effect, so that the incoming sewage collides with each other and moves upward together, reducing the possibility of sludge accumulation. Further, the center line direction of the water inlet 121 is perpendicular to the center line direction of the cavity 110, and the center line direction of the air inlet 122 is parallel to the center line direction of the cavity 110. The water inlet 121 and the air inlet 122 are respectively located below the lower fixed end 220, which is beneficial to uniformly mix the aeration and sewage in the initial stage, and further enables the bubbles generated by the aeration gas to be uniformly dispersed, thereby achieving more uniform aeration effect on the membrane filaments.
[0036] In this example, the center line direction of the overflow port 132 is parallel to the center line direction of the water inlet 121, and the upper part of the water outlet end cover 240 is in interference fit with the water outlet pipe 131. The interference fit can be achieved by the size of the pipe diameter, or by some gaskets to prevent sewage from leaking out.
[0037] In this example, the column curtain type MBR membrane device includes a plurality of clamp copy lines 300, and the water inlet 121, the water outlet pipe 131 and the overflow port 132 are respectively provided with a clamp copy line. The clamp copy line can be made of metal or plastic, which can provide a convenient disassembly connection structure and is beneficial for installation or connection operation.
[0038] In this example, the membrane shell includes an upper membrane shell 120, a middle membrane shell 130 and a lower membrane shell 140. The upper membrane shell 120 and the lower membrane shell 140 are respectively detachably connected and communicated with the middle membrane shell 130. The water inlet 121 and the air inlet 122 are arranged on the lower membrane shell 140, and the water outlet pipe 131 and the overflow port 132 are arranged on the upper membrane shell 120. By segmenting the membrane shell, it is beneficial for installation or transportation, and different functions can be integrated on different membrane shells, which is beneficial for processing. Furthermore, the segmented design is also beneficial for the installation of the MBR membrane assembly.
[0039] In this example, the column curtain type MBR membrane device further includes a water inlet pump and a water outlet suction pump. The water inlet pump is in communication with the water inlet, and the water outlet suction pump is in communication with the water outlet pipe.
[0040] When working: sewage is pumped from the water inlet, and aeration is carried out from the air inlet, air can be blown in, and the sewage flows upward, driving the bubbles generated by the aeration gas to flow (the bubbles can also rely on themselves to move upward), producing produced water inside the membrane wire, and the produced water is discharged outward through the produced water outlet pipe under the suction of the produced water pump, the sewage outside the membrane wire continues to flow upward and finally flows out through the overflow port, and in the process, due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the membrane wire, the production efficiency of the produced water will be greatly improved, and the sludge is not easy to accumulate in the membrane wire or the cavity.
[0041] In summary, the present application provides an improved double-pressure-column curtain type MBR membrane device based on the existing curtain type MBR membrane assembly, which has the problems of low water production efficiency, high construction cost, and easy accumulation of pollutants. The device innovatively adds a membrane shell with a cavity, and the produced water end cover of the MBR membrane assembly is inserted into the produced water outlet pipe of the membrane shell, and the lower fixed end is fixed to the lower part of the cavity. In this way, the MBR membrane assembly can be fixed in the cavity, and when sewage is pumped from the lower part and aeration is carried out, the first, sewage can exist on the inside and outside of the MBR membrane assembly at the same time, and the sewage on the outside provides positive pressure to the MBR membrane assembly. The produced water suction pump provided in the MBR membrane assembly can provide negative pressure suction, thereby enabling the MBR membrane device to operate in both positive pressure and negative pressure modes, greatly improving the efficiency of the membrane assembly in producing water. Second, the membrane shell of the present application enables the MBR membrane assembly to be installed and used without other equipment such as a support frame, and can be fixed and installed by relying on the membrane shell itself, such as being directly installed and used outside the flat ground, without the need for a new membrane pool to accommodate the membrane assembly, which can shorten the construction period and construction cost of the entire system. Third, the upper and lower ends of the MBR membrane assembly are limited by the membrane shell, that is, when the sewage is pumped in, the membrane wire will not displace or curl, and when the air inlet is aerated, the bubbles generated by the aeration will flow in the rising sewage and eventually burst, the disturbance force generated by the burst will greatly shake the membrane wire, especially the positive pressure on the outside and the negative pressure inside the membrane wire will cause a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the membrane wire, thereby exerting different forces on the sludge accumulated or adhered to the membrane wire, which is beneficial to the removal of the sludge. The sludge that is shaken off will be carried out from the overflow port during the upward flow of the rising sewage, achieving the self-cleaning effect of the membrane wire. Fourth, the air inlet aeration method of the present application is carried out in a relatively closed cavity, and the aeration gas will all move upward with the sewage. On the one hand, the aeration function can be achieved with a small amount of aeration loss (even almost no loss), and on the other hand, compared with conventional open aeration, the present application can reduce the aeration amount per unit time or unit volume and obtain the same effect as open aeration, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the fan operation and saving energy. For example, the conventional aeration coefficient is usually 0.2-0.3 m 3 / 2 The double pressure MBR membrane module has a smaller loss relative to the aeration loss, and the aeration coefficient is usually 0.1-0.15 m 3 / m 2 *h.
[0042] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the utility model, and the purpose is to enable the person skilled in the art to understand the content of the utility model and implement it, and it cannot limit the protection scope of the utility model, and any equivalent changes or modifications according to the spirit and essence of the utility model shall be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
