Generally, the membrane shell used by the membrane assembly 3 can be a reverse osmosis membrane shell commonly used in industrial wastewater treatment projects, and the size can be selected as 80 mm * 40 mm or 40 mm * 40 mm.
[0039] In actual work, one or more cleaning agents can be added into the dosing tank 1. When the cleaning agents are multiple, the dosing tank 1 can mix the cleaning agents. After the cleaning agents are added into the dosing tank 1, the dosing pump 2 can be opened, and the cleaning agents can flow in the membrane assembly 3, the dosing tank 1 and the dosing pump 2, so as to clean the membrane element.

[0041] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 Each cleaning pipeline further comprises a filter 4 and a cleaning pump 5 connected in sequence, and the filter 4 and the cleaning pump 5 are arranged between the dosing pump 2 and the membrane assembly 3. The filter 4 is in communication with the dosing pump 2, and the cleaning pump 5 is in communication with the membrane assembly 3. The filter 4 is configured to remove particulate matters in the cleaning agent, and the cleaning pump 5 is configured to obtain the target solution from the filter 4 and used to deliver the target solution to the membrane assembly 3, that is, the cleaning pump 5 is used to deliver the target solution filtered by the filter 4 to the membrane assembly 3. The dosing pump 2 is configured to deliver the target solution in the dosing tank 1 to the filter 4.
[0042] Specifically, after the cleaning agent (or cleaning liquid) is added into the dosing tank 1, the dosing pump 2 and the cleaning pump 5 are opened, the cleaning agent (or cleaning liquid) is delivered into the filter 4 under the driving of the dosing pump 2, and the cleaning agent can remove large particulate pollutants in the filter 4. The filtered cleaning agent (or cleaning liquid) is delivered into the membrane assembly 3 under the driving of the cleaning pump 5, so as to clean (or flush) the membrane assembly 3. Subsequently, the cleaning agent (or cleaning liquid) can flow back from the membrane assembly 3 to the dosing tank 1, and the above process is repeated.
[0043] It should be understood that the cleaning agent (or cleaning liquid) flowing back from the membrane assembly 3 to the dosing tank 1 can further comprise one or more pollutants peeled from the membrane element.
[0044] In a preferred example, the dosing pump 2 and the cleaning pump 5 are centrifugal pumps. In another preferred example, the dosing pump 2 and the cleaning pump 5 can also be other types of pump devices.
[0045] Preferably, the dosing tank 1 is provided with a stirring device (not shown) to uniformly mix the cleaning agent.
[0046] The application does not limit the type of filter 4. In a specific example, the filter 4 can be provided as a security filter, which can be used to remove large-particle contaminants in the cleaning agent. In another specific example, the filter 4 can also be provided as other types of filters as needed.
[0047] The application does not limit the material of the security filter. The security filter is preferably made of high-temperature-resistant material, for example, the security filter can be made of polypropylene or polyester high-temperature-resistant material, but is not limited thereto. The pore size of the security filter can be selected as 5um.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, in each cleaning pipeline, the number of cleaning pumps 5 and the number of membrane assemblies 3 are both multiple, and the number of cleaning pumps 5 is preferably the same as the number of membrane assemblies 3. The cleaning pump 5 is configured to be connected with a corresponding membrane assembly 3, at this time, the cleaning pump 5 corresponds to the membrane assembly 3 one by one, and the cleaning pump 5 is used to provide the target solution to the corresponding membrane assembly 3. In this way, the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning system can clean different membrane elements respectively, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency of the membrane assembly 3.
[0049] In this scheme, each cleaning pipeline includes a filter 4, the number of cleaning pumps 5 and the number of membrane assemblies 3 are both multiple, and all cleaning pumps 5 are in communication with the filter 4, at this time, the dosing tank 1 can provide the target solution to the multiple membrane assemblies 3 through the filter 4.
[0050] Referring to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning system includes at least two cleaning pipelines, each cleaning pipeline includes a dosing tank 1, a dosing pump 2, a filter 4, a cleaning pump 5 and a membrane assembly 3 connected in series. In this way, multiple membrane elements can be synchronously and independently cleaned through multiple cleaning pipelines, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency and meet the different cleaning requirements of multiple membrane elements. For example, when the membrane elements are multiple, different membrane elements can be synchronously cleaned for daily online cleaning and deep online cleaning, so as to meet the diversified cleaning requirements of the membrane elements.
[0051] It should be noted that the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning system can not only clean the membrane elements for daily online cleaning, but also can clean the reverse osmosis membrane for deep online cleaning. The difference between daily online cleaning and deep online cleaning lies in the cleaning time, cleaning agent or cleaning steps.
[0052] It should be further noted that the number of cleaning pipelines in the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning system can be set and adjusted according to the number of membrane elements to be cleaned. The application does not limit the number of cleaning pipelines in the cleaning system, and the number of cleaning pipelines can be set as 1, 2, 3 or more as needed.
[0053] Referring to Figure 1As shown, in the preferred example, the number of cleaning pipelines is two, each cleaning pipeline includes a plurality of cleaning pumps 5 and a plurality of membrane assemblies 3, each membrane assembly 3 is communicated with a corresponding cleaning pump 5. All cleaning pumps 5 on the two cleaning pipelines are respectively connected with the filter 4 on each cleaning pipeline, that is, all cleaning pumps 5 on each cleaning pipeline are respectively communicated with the filter 4 on the first cleaning pipeline and the filter 4 on the second cleaning pipeline.
[0054] In this way, the filter 4 on the two cleaning pipelines can be communicated with all the membrane assemblies 3. When multiple membrane assemblies 3 need to be cleaned, two membrane assemblies 3 can be respectively communicated with different filters 4, and the two cleaning pipelines are opened at the same time, at this time, the two cleaning pipelines can work independently and realize the synchronous cleaning of the two groups of membrane assemblies 3.
[0055] In the preferred embodiment, the reverse osmosis membrane cleaning system has a daily online cleaning pipeline and a deep online cleaning pipeline, different membrane assemblies 3 can be synchronously subjected to daily online cleaning and deep online cleaning through the two cleaning pipelines, for example, one membrane element can be subjected to deep online cleaning soaking while another membrane element is synchronously subjected to online cleaning operation in the daily operation process. Continue to refer to Figure 1 The valve assembly includes a first valve 61, which is arranged between the dosing tank 1 and the dosing pump 2 to control the on-off between the dosing tank 1 and the dosing pump 2.
[0056] Further, the valve assembly further includes a second valve 62, which is arranged between the cleaning pump 5 and the filter 4 to control the on-off between the filter 4 and the cleaning pump 5.
[0057] In the optional example, in each cleaning pipeline, the second valve 62 is a throttle valve, the number of cleaning pumps 5 and the number of second valves 62 are both multiple, and the number of second valves 62 is preferably the same as the number of cleaning pumps 5, each cleaning pump 5 is communicated with the filter 4 through a corresponding second valve 62. In this way, the communication of multiple membrane assemblies 3 and one filter 4 can be realized. In actual use, the second valve 62 between the target cleaning pump 5 and the filter 4 can be opened, and the second valve 62 between the other cleaning pump 5 and the filter 4 can be closed, thereby realizing the communication of the cleaning pump 5 and the predetermined membrane assembly 3.
