Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of column membrane modules, and specifically relates to a membrane module that can uniformly aerate. Background Technology

[0002] The internal membrane fibers of the hollow fiber column membrane module are fixed on the membrane fiber distribution frame at both ends. The resin end face is formed by end sealing with resin, so that the raw water enters the inner cavity of the membrane shell module through one end of the column membrane module and is filtered by the membrane fibers. The filtered concentrate is discharged from the concentrate port of the hollow fiber column membrane module, while the permeate after filtration, i.e. the product water, flows out from the product water port.

[0003] Currently, most industry solutions for membrane fiber fouling involve aeration. This is achieved by creating openings at the bottom of the module, allowing gas to enter the module through pores distributed on the end face. However, this unidirectional aeration results in poor uniformity and ineffective aeration, thus impacting the cleaning performance of the membrane fibers. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1.
