Plate-Type Filter Module for Water Treatment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sewage and wastewater treatment filters require stopping the entire system for maintenance or replacement, and lack sufficient structural rigidity and airtightness due to inadequate adhesive forces between filter members and support frames.
Innovation Solution
A plate-type filter module with a block frame configuration that allows for parallel arrangement of filter units, sufficient adhesive accommodation, and a receiving and collecting tube system for efficient water handling, enabling individual module replacement and enhanced structural rigidity and airtightness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If filters are connected to each other in a conventional configuration, then the system can process sewage and wastewater, but the entire system must be stopped for maintenance or replacement of any filter
Solution Approach 1:
The filter system is divided into multiple independent filter modules (first filter module, second filter module, etc.) that can be individually maintained or replaced without stopping the entire system. Each module has its own support frame and filter member, allowing independent access and maintenance while other modules continue to operate.
2Ease of manufacture
If the frame is fastened to the filter member through adhesive member only, then the assembly is simple, but the adhesive force is insufficient causing frame separation under backwash pressure
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening mechanism combines multiple fastening members (clamps or clips) with adhesive members to create a dual-fastening system. The fastening members provide mechanical clamping force while the adhesive members provide additional bonding, together ensuring the frame remains securely attached to the filter member even under high backwash pressure.
