Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a hollow-fiber membrane module capable of continuously filtering liq. and capable of being periodically blown with air by positioning the tiny hole of the pipe of a hollow-fiber membrane module below the pipe center in the longitudinal direction of the module and close to the lower end plate of the module. CONSTITUTION:A hollow-fiber membrane is arranged around a center pipe, the tiny hole of the center pipe from which air is discharged is positioned below the pipe center of the vertical hollow-fiber membrane module and close to the lower end plate. The water to be filtered is supplied from a nozzle 8, passed through the membrane, filtered and discharged from an outlet 11. Since the SS, bacteria, etc., are deposited on the membrane after the module is operated for a long time, air is bubbled from the tiny hole 9 to shake the membrane, and the deposit is removed. The membrane is uniformly shaken since the tiny hole is positioned at the lower part.

Description of the Related Art General industrial water contains many SS components, fine particles, dust, bacteria, algae, etc. If used as is, clogging of water pipes, bacterial growth, lines It is easy to cause troubles such as scale accumulation inside. Conventionally, various methods such as sand filtration, coagulation filtration, coagulation sedimentation treatment, and cartridge filter filtration have been used in order to remove these water-mixed components, depending on the application. As a new method replacing these general filtration methods, recently, filtration using a porous hollow fiber membrane has begun to be put into practical use. Water treatment and filtration using hollow fiber membranes have been rapidly spread in recent years, and their fields of application are also expanding year by year.

In filtration of hollow fiber membranes, the hollow fiber membranes are processed into a product form in which thousands to tens of thousands are bundled into a bundle and the ends are fixed with an adhesive. The products processed into these product forms are called hollow fiber membrane modules or modules. Many types of hollow fiber membrane modules capable of filtering liquid have been proposed in the past. Especially, the initial ones include a filtration module used in combination with an appropriate pretreatment means, one for the purpose of reverse osmosis filtration, one for the purpose of dialysis, etc. The module forms have been proposed, and the main ones thereof are described in JP-B-48-28380, JP-A-49-69550, JP-A-53-110076, and the like.

In the water treatment by the hollow fiber membrane module, it is a good method to remove the deposits on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane by air, but in the current module, the following problems remain. ing. That is,
In the actual filtration process, a large number of hollow fiber membrane modules are used in many cases, which requires cost reduction of the modules. In using the module,
Since the current module is generally of a container built-in type, a container is required in addition to the module main body, and this container must be able to withstand a certain amount of pressure and be suitable for mounting and removing the module main body. Therefore, the module cost is increased due to the separate production of the module container, which is an obstacle to practical use. In addition, if the container and module are integrated, it becomes difficult to uniformly introduce air into the bundle of hollow fiber membranes with the conventional module shape, and the effect of removing deposits on the surface of the hollow fiber membranes is reduced, resulting in total However, it had the drawback of shortening the module life.

The supply water to be filtered is supplied from the raw water supply nozzle 8 of the module into the hollow fiber membrane bundle inside the hollow fiber membrane module. In advance, the drain nozzle 7 and the air inlet valve 13 are closed by a nearby valve, and the air initially inside the module is removed from the air vent nozzle 6 to the outside of the system. The supply water supplied to the inside of the hollow fiber membrane bundle is permeated and filtered into the inside of the hollow fiber membrane according to the performance of the hollow fiber membrane according to the pressure and the temperature, and is taken out from the outlet 11 as filtered water through the filtered water collecting section 14. Be done. If this filtration operation is continued for a long time, suspended components in water, bacteria, and debris that have been removed accumulate on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane, increasing the filtration resistance of the hollow fiber membrane, and The amount of permeated water of the hollow fiber membrane module under the operating conditions of 1. Therefore, at this stage, the valve leading to the raw water supply nozzle 8 is closed to temporarily stop the supply of the supply water to the hollow fiber membrane module, and the air vent nozzle 6 is opened. Then, by opening and adjusting the air inlet valve 13, air is supplied to the central pipe of the module so that air is bubbled through the pores 9 which are open on the lower side surface of the pipe, and the hollow fiber membrane is aired for a certain period of time. Shakes,
The deposits on the film surface are removed by vibration. Then, after removing the deposits and deposits on the film surface, the drain valve 7 is opened to discard the dirty water, the module system is washed, and then the filtration operation can be performed again. ..

The hollow fiber membrane module of the present invention has a structure in which the hollow fiber membranes are arranged around the central pipe, but if the central pipe satisfies the function of air passage, the length and The outer diameter and inner diameter are not limited. Regarding the pores from which air flows out from the central pipe, the pores are located on the end plate side below the center in the longitudinal direction of the hollow fiber membrane module in a state where the module is arranged vertically. Need to be present. In the air bubbling, it is desirable that the air shakes the hollow fiber membrane bundle as uniformly as possible. For this purpose, it is desirable that the pores of the central pipe, which is the air outlet, be located below the center of the hollow fiber membrane module. When the position of the pores of the central pipe is on the end plate side above the center of the module, air for air bubbling is not evenly distributed and introduced into the hollow fiber membrane bundle, and the effect of shaking the hollow fiber becomes insufficient. .. Further, particularly preferably, it is preferable that the distance from the lower end plate portion of the module to the farthest position of the pore is within a range of 25% of the total length of the module. The center of the module means the vertical center of the hollow fiber membrane effective portion of the module, that is, the distance from the root of the hollow fiber membrane bundle of the upper end plate to the hollow fiber membrane root of the lower end plate. Indicates the center point of the.

Therefore, the supply valve 8 was closed, the air vent port 6 was opened, and the valve 12 was adjusted to supply air at 8 normal liters per minute from the central pipe to shake the hollow fiber membrane. After continuing the air supply for 15 minutes, the valve 12 was closed, the drain valve 7 was opened, and the water inside the hollow fiber membrane module was discharged.
