Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the modular submerged siphon ultrafiltration water purifier of this utility model includes a pretreatment module, a submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 and a water production module connected sequentially along the water flow direction.

[0032] The pretreatment module includes an inlet pipe 1, a basket filter 2, a pipe mixer 4, an ejector 5, a grid flocculation tank 6, and an inclined tube sedimentation tank 7, which are connected sequentially by pipes. The inlet end of the pipe mixer 4 is connected to a PAC dosing device 3, which includes a motor 31 located at the top and a stirring shaft 32 driven by the motor 31. The stirring shaft 32 uniformly stirs the agent in the PAC dosing device 3. The PAC dosing device 3 is connected to the pipe mixer 4 through a dosing pipe. The ejector 5 is installed on the pipe connecting the pipe mixer 4 and the grid flocculation tank 6. The grid flocculation tank 6 is provided with several herringbone flocculation grid plates.

[0033] The submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 is equipped with a submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101, whose inlet is connected to the outlet of the inclined tube sedimentation tank 7. The submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101 includes at least one membrane module, which is composed of several bundles of hollow fiber membrane filaments integrated into a curtain structure. It should be noted that the most common curtain structure is selected in this scheme, but other structures, including but not limited to column type and flat plate type, can still be used in actual use. The submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 is also connected to an aeration backwash unit 11 and the product water module. In order to effectively achieve sludge removal, the bottom of the grid flocculation tank 6, the inclined tube sedimentation tank 7, and the submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 are all provided with sludge guide pipes facing outwards. The sludge guide pipes are equipped with sludge discharge valves 8, and the outlet of the sludge guide pipes leads to the ditch 9. The aeration backwash unit 11 includes a blower 111 and an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is equipped with an air inlet valve 112. The blower 111 is connected to the bottom of the submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 through the air inlet pipe. The aeration backwash unit 11 is used to solve the problem of clogging of the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101.

[0034] The water production module includes a water production pump 12 and a low-level water storage tank 15; the first outlet pipe of the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101 is directly connected to the low-level water storage tank 15; the second outlet pipe of the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101 is connected to the inlet end of the water production pump 12, and the outlet end of the water production pump 12 is connected to the inlet end of the low-level water storage tank 15; the backwash pipe of the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit 101 is connected to the outlet end of the backwash filter 13, and the inlet end of the backwash filter 13 is connected to the outlet end of the backwash pump in the low-level water storage tank 15.

[0035] This utility model also includes an alkali dosing tank 18, an acid dosing tank 19, and a NaClO dosing device 14. See details below. Figure 1 To effectively control the pH of the liquid, the first outlet of the alkali dosing tank 18 is connected to the pipeline mixer 4, the second outlet of the alkali dosing tank 18 is connected to the inlet pipe of the backwash filter 13, the outlet of the acid dosing tank 19 is connected to the inlet pipe of the backwash filter 13, the NaClO dosing device 14 has two discharge channels, one of which is connected to the inlet pipe of the backwash filter 13, and the outlet of the other discharge channel is connected to the main pipe at the intersection of the first and second water outlet pipes; the low-level water storage tank 15 is connected to the water supply pipe 16.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate better centralized control, this device is also equipped with a PLC control terminal, a touch screen and an electromechanical room. The pipes used for connection are equipped with electric control valves and flow meters. The pretreatment module, the submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 and the water production module are all designed as independent modular units, and the units are connected through standardized interfaces. The submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank 10 is at least three meters higher than the low-level water storage tank 15. Its main purpose is to form a stable siphon. When the height difference is ≥3m, the siphon can be quickly established at startup, avoiding frequent vacuuming or secondary startup. In this case, no continuous power is required. The water production can flow out through the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit (101) by gravity potential energy alone. The water production pump (12) is only used for startup or high load, which significantly reduces the power consumption of operation.

[0037] In the process of using this utility model, the raw water first enters the basket filter through the inlet pipe to remove large particulate impurities, and then is fully mixed with the flocculant added by the PAC dosing device in the pipeline mixer. After being lifted by the jet pump, it enters the grid flocculation tank to form flocs. The flocculated water is separated into mud and water in the inclined tube sedimentation tank, and the supernatant overflows into the submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank.

[0038] After the product water pump is started, a stable siphon effect is formed between the submerged siphon ultrafiltration tank and the low-level water storage tank. Driven by the liquid level difference, the water flows through the submerged ultrafiltration membrane to become product water, which is stored in the low-level clear water tank for later use.

[0039] After running for a period of time, the PLC background automatically sets or the background is manually controlled to perform an automatic cleaning program: stop water production, start the aeration backwash unit to perform air scrubbing on the membrane fibers, and optionally start the backwash pump to pump the water produced in the low-level water storage tank (in actual use, clean water from the external clean water tank can also be used) through the backwash filter into the submerged siphon ultrafiltration membrane unit for backwashing. If necessary, chemicals are added through the connected NaClO, acid, and alkali dosing device for online chemical enhancement cleaning. The cleaning wastewater can be selectively discharged back to the pretreatment unit for further filtration or directly discharged into the ditch, thus completing a complete filtration-cleaning cycle.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
