Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reverse osmosis membrane cleaning technology, and specifically to a reverse osmosis membrane cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Reverse osmosis technology is a highly efficient water treatment process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to selectively separate solvents and solutes. By applying external pressure to overcome natural osmotic pressure, water molecules permeate from a high-concentration solution to a low-concentration side, achieving desalination, purification, and concentration. After a period of operation, impurities accumulate on one side of the reverse osmosis membrane, causing a decrease in permeation and affecting subsequent water quality. Therefore, cleaning the reverse osmosis membrane is particularly important.

[0003] Reverse osmosis membrane cleaning can be divided into online cleaning and offline cleaning. When the fouling level is low, online cleaning is usually used. The feed water passes through the membrane surface at low pressure and high flow rate to wash away the contaminants. However, when the reverse osmosis membrane is more severely fouled, offline cleaning is required. Online cleaning is not targeted enough and may cause secondary fouling of the membrane; offline cleaning is inefficient and it is difficult to determine the cleaning status of each membrane.

[0004] Therefore, this invention provides a reverse osmosis membrane cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a reverse osmosis membrane cleaning device, which effectively solves the problems of poor targeting and incomplete cleaning of online cleaning, which may cause secondary contamination of the membrane, and low efficiency of offline cleaning and difficulty in judging the cleaning status of each membrane.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A reverse osmosis membrane cleaning device includes multiple reverse osmosis membrane modules, a cleaning water tank, a low-pressure cleaning pump, a cleaning filter, and a high-pressure detection pump. The cleaning water tank is used to prepare the cleaning solution, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure cleaning pump via a pipe. The outlet of the low-pressure cleaning pump is connected to the inlet of the cleaning filter via a pipe. The outlet of the low-pressure cleaning pump is connected to the cleaning water tank via a return pipe to accelerate the dissolution of the cleaning solution. The outlet of the cleaning filter is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure detection pump via a pipe. The outlet of the high-pressure detection pump is connected to each reverse osmosis membrane module via a first outlet pipe. Each reverse osmosis membrane module is equipped with a concentrate pipe and a desalination pipe. Each concentrate pipe is equipped with a cleaning pipe and a detection pipe. Each cleaning pipe and detection pipe returns to the cleaning water tank. Each desalination pipe is connected to the cleaning water tank and returns to the cleaning water tank. The desalination and concentrate from each reverse osmosis membrane module are recycled back to the cleaning water tank.

A product water conductivity meter is installed on the fresh water return pipe. The product water conductivity meter is used to accurately measure the desalination rate of each reverse osmosis membrane module.

[0008] Preferably, a bypass pipe is connected between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe of the high-pressure testing pump, and a testing pump bypass valve is installed on the bypass pipe. The testing pump bypass valve is opened during cleaning and closed during testing.

[0009] Preferably, each of the reverse osmosis membrane modules has a reverse osmosis membrane installed inside its membrane housing to prevent secondary contamination. Each reverse osmosis membrane module has a membrane inlet pressure gauge and a membrane inlet valve installed on its inlet pipe. Each concentrate pipe has a membrane outlet pressure gauge installed on its outlet pipe to accurately measure the pressure difference of each reverse osmosis membrane module.

[0012] Preferably, a cleaning return valve is installed on the return pipe, each of the cleaning pipes is used for pipe cleaning, and each of the detection pipes is used for pipe detection.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. It can perform flushing and chemical cleaning on membrane modules, resulting in a more thorough cleaning. Each membrane module can be cleaned independently, which is highly targeted and less likely to cause secondary pollution. After cleaning, the cleaning status of each membrane module can be judged based on multiple indicators.

[0022] A bypass pipe 14 is connected between the inlet and outlet pipes of the high-pressure testing pump 5. A testing pump bypass valve 9 is installed on the bypass pipe 14. The testing pump bypass valve 9 is opened during cleaning and closed during testing.

[0023] Each reverse osmosis membrane module 1 has a reverse osmosis membrane installed inside its membrane housing to prevent secondary fouling. Each reverse osmosis membrane module 1 has a membrane inlet pressure gauge 10 and a membrane inlet valve 19 installed on its inlet pipe. The membrane inlet pressure gauge 10 is located on the side of the membrane inlet valve 19.

[0026] Work process: Step 1: Fill the cleaning water tank 2 with clean water. Install the reverse osmosis membranes to be cleaned (the number of reverse osmosis membranes can be selected by yourself, with a maximum of 4 reverse osmosis membranes to be cleaned at the same time) into the corresponding reverse osmosis membrane modules 1. Open the membrane inlet valve 19 and the concentrate cleaning valve 20 of the reverse osmosis membrane module 1 to be cleaned. Turn on the low-pressure cleaning pump 3 to perform low-pressure flushing on each reverse osmosis membrane module 1 for 10 minutes. After flushing, turn off the low-pressure cleaning pump 3 and open the drain valve to empty the cleaning water tank 2 and the reverse osmosis membrane modules 1. Step 2: Refill the cleaning water tank 2 with clean water and test the reverse osmosis membrane module 1 to be cleaned. The testing method is to test each reverse osmosis membrane module 1 in sequence. Open the inlet of reverse osmosis membrane module 1 and the corresponding concentrate detection valve 21. The valves of the other reverse osmosis membrane modules 1 are closed. Turn on the low-pressure cleaning pump 3 and the high-pressure detection pump 5 to test reverse osmosis membrane module 1. Adjust the concentrate detection valve 21 at the concentrate outlet to a pure water flow rate of 0.5 m3 / h. Record the inlet and outlet water pressure, inlet and outlet water conductivity and concentrate flow rate of reverse osmosis membrane module 1. Then repeat the above steps to test the remaining reverse osmosis membrane modules 1 that need to be cleaned in sequence. After the test is completed, empty the cleaning water tank 2 and each reverse osmosis membrane module 1.

[0027] Step 3: Add cleaning agent to cleaning water tank 2. Adjust the amount of agent according to the type of agent selected. Pay attention to the required pH value of the agent solution. Open cleaning return valve 17, and then turn on low-pressure cleaning pump 3 to circulate internally for 10 minutes to ensure that the cleaning agent is completely dissolved. After completion, close cleaning return valve 17.

Turn off the low-pressure cleaning pump 3 during soaking, and circulate again after 2 hours of soaking. Repeat the above steps, perform long-term soaking at night, and circulate again in the morning. Adjust the number of circulations according to the fouling of the membrane module. After cleaning, drain the cleaning water tank 2 and each reverse osmosis membrane module 1.

[0029] Step 5: Rinse and test the cleaned membrane modules in the same way as in Step 1 and Step 2. Compare the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of each reverse osmosis membrane module 1, the difference in conductivity between the inlet and outlet water, and the concentrate flow rate to judge the cleaning effect through multiple indicators.
