Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a cross-flow filtration system for a product comprising at least one filtration module with product flow and permeate drain, a pipeline for supplying and discharging the product to and from the filtration module, a pump with an electric motor in the pipeline for the supply line of the product to the filtration module, as well as a device for adjusting the flow of the pump.
  • the invention also relates to a cross-flow filtration system for carrying out this method.
  • Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis In all operating modes, at least one pump is required to transport a product to be filtered past the surface of the filtration membrane. A static pressure and a flow rate of the product occur at each filtration membrane, which cause part of the product to permeate the filtration membranes.
  • a known optimization goal of such systems is a large filtration capacity as the amount of permeate in liters per membrane area in square meters and filtration time in hours.
  • Another goal is to achieve a high maximum degree of thickening of the remaining part of the product as a retentate. The degree of thickening is expressed as a proportion of the Wet strubes in percent of the retentate amount determined in a centrifuge test. In addition to many other operating parameters, these goals are directly dependent on the stated static pressure and flow velocity of the product.
  • Solids concentrations at the end of the filtration also have advantages in the subsequent washing out of the retentate.
  • the required time and detergent (water) is largely dependent on this solids concentration.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to enable the maximum possible filtration performance due to the plant with a high solids content of the product without endangering operational safety as a result of overloads.
  • this object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned at the outset by measuring the strength of the operating current of the electric motor and adjusting the delivery flow of the pump to at least one predetermined value by means of the setting device.
  • the method is preferably carried out in such a way that the predetermined value of the operating current of the electric motor is a maximum permissible setpoint of the current consumption.
  • the value of the operating current of the electric motor is used as a controlled variable by comparison with the predetermined value as Setpoint is regulated to the setpoint by means of a controller via the device for setting the delivery flow of the pump as a controlled system in a control loop.
  • a device for adjusting the delivery flow of the pump is preferably a throttle valve connected downstream of the pump in the supply line of the product or a device assigned to the power supply of the electric motor for adjusting the frequency of the operating current and thus the pump speed.
  • the inlet pressure into the filtration module can be controlled by a throttle device in the module outlet for the retentate.
  • the method according to the invention offers the additional advantage, even when module cleaning is required outside of the filtration operation, that better cleaning of the modules in the flow method is made possible as a result of the safe maximum product flow.
  • FIG. 1b shows the courses of different operating sizes in a filtration with a small system according to FIG.
  • FIG. 1c shows a scale display for an operator of a small system according to FIG. 2a shows a diagram of a large-scale system with crossflow filtration for carrying out the method according to the invention
  • Fig. 2b shows the curves of different operating sizes in a filtration with a large system according to Fig. 2a
  • FIG. 2c is a diagram of a speed control in a large system according to FIG. 2c.
  • a simple cross-flow filtration system comprises a container 1 for holding a quantity of raw juice to be filtered from fruits, which is supplied as a raw product via a line 2. Via a line 3 connected to the container 1 at the bottom, the juice is fed from a pump 4 via a valve 5 to a filtration module 6 of a type known per se. Filtration modules of this type comprise a multiplicity of tubular filtration membranes, to which the product to be filtered is passed outside or mostly inside. These membranes are symbolized by a single membrane 7 in FIG.
  • part of the product penetrates openings in the membranes 7 and reaches the other sides of the membranes 7, from which it is removed as a permeate or filtrate by means of a collecting line 8.
  • the remaining part of the product is returned as retentate through a line 9 via a valve 10 into the container 1.
  • the permeate penetrates the membranes 7 due to a pressure difference (also called transmembrane pressure), which is generated by the pump 4 in connection with the flow resistance of the filtration module 6 and the valve 10.
  • the transmembrane pressure in modules 6 of known type is limited to a permissible maximum value of typically 6 bar. Since the permeate in the collecting line 8 according to FIG. 1 a is under ambient pressure, one can be provided at the input of the module 6 Pressure gauge 11 of the transmembrane pressure pl be monitored.
  • the pump 4 is driven by an electric motor 12 which has a scale display 13 for monitoring its operating current il of the type shown in FIG. 1c.
  • valve 5 When operating the small system according to FIG. 1 a, valve 5 is closed at the beginning and valve 10 is partially open. Then the pump 4 is started. The electric current il absorbed by the electric motor 12 can be read off the scale display 13, FIG. 1c. Now valve 5 is fully opened and valve 10 is then opened until a maximum permissible current imax according to the marking on the scale display 13 is reached.
  • the pump 4 is dimensioned such that the transmembrane pressure pl generated does not exceed a permissible maximum value for the module 6 at the beginning and also during a subsequent increase as a result of a thickening of the retentate.
  • Ib shows the courses of the current il and the pressure pl over the time t. This completes the start-up phase of this small system.
  • the pressure drop ⁇ p via the filtration module 6 increases due to the thickening of the retentate. Due to the pump characteristics of the pump 4, the inlet pressure pl at the module 6 then increases and the electrical current consumption il of the motor 12 decreases, as shown in FIG. 1b . If the current consumption il reaches a minimum value imin, as it is shown on the scale display 13, then a minimum product flow rate Ql is also reached at the input of the module 6, corresponding to a maximum permissible wet tub content of the retentate, as shown in FIG. 1b.
  • the occurrence of imin means an alarm message, in which manual or automatic re-dilution and then product displacement of the residual amount of retentate in the retentate circuit 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 is initiated with water.
  • the time of the beginning of the redilution is in Fig. Lb on the t-axis with R designated, the course of the viscosity of the retentate
  • a regulating and control unit 20 is provided according to FIG. 2a, which regulates the operating current il of the electric motor 12 for the pump 4 for the circulation of the product as a controlled variable
  • the control unit 20 Comparing setpoint imax and regulating il to imax.
  • the control unit 20 generates a control signal which is fed to a control valve 5 'as a control path for the product flow Q1 generated by the pump 4.
  • a pressure meter 11 'at the input of the filtration module 6 generates a signal p1 corresponding to the inlet pressure prevailing there, with which a control valve 10' in the retentate output line 9 of the module 6 is set via the control unit 20 so that p1 is at the maximum permissible transmembrane pressure pmax remains constant.
  • control valve 5 ' is closed at the beginning and the control valve 10' is fully open. Then the pump 4 is started against the closed control valve 5 '. Then the opens
  • Control circuit 12, 20, 5 ' the control valve 5' and regulates the drive current il of the electric motor 12 for the pump 4 to the maximum permissible value imax constant, as shown in FIG. 2b.
  • the control valve 10 ' regulates a constant inlet pressure pmax at the module 6, as is also shown in FIG. 2b.
  • FIG. 2b also shows how the viscosity ⁇ of the retentate increases over the course of the operating time t. This has the consequence that the pressure px at the outlet of the pump 4 also increases until the start R of the redilution, the
  • the beginning R of the redilution can be initiated when a minimum product flow Q1 at the input of the module 6, corresponding to a maximum permissible wet matter content of the retentate, has been reached.
  • a flow transmitter 21 is provided according to FIG. 2a, the output signal of which is fed to the control unit 20. If the product flow rate Q1 reaches the minimum value Qmin, the control unit 20 interrupts the retentate cycle by sending the retentate via a control line 22 and a slide 23, as well as a
  • Control line 24 and a slide 25 from the container 1 to a rinsing tank 26 are controlled by the rinsing tank 26.
  • Water is used for the back-dilution and rinsing, which is fed to the line 3 via a slide 27 opened for this purpose by the control unit 20, while the inlet from the container 1 is closed via a slide 28. If the container 1 is also to be rinsed, slide 27 is closed, slide 28 opened; and the water is supplied to the container 1 via a line 29.
  • the control valve 5' with the controller 20 for its control value can be replaced by a controller 20 'for the frequency of the drive current of the motor 12 and thus the speed n the pump 4, as shown in Fig. 2c.
  • the current intensity il is measured in the controller 20 'as a controlled variable, but il is changed by the frequency as a manipulated value and not by the product flow Ql according to FIG. 2a.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 2c prevents unnecessary energy destruction in the valve 5 'according to FIG. 2a, but it also avoids mechanical problems caused by the moving parts of the valve 5'.
  • the container 1 receives the amount of raw juice to be filtered as a batch tank at the beginning of each filtration process, and then the supply of the raw juice is interrupted.
  • FIG. 2a the possibility is provided that retentate is continuously discharged from the line 9 for returning the retentate via a slide 30.
  • the slide 30 can be opened and closed by the control unit 20. When the slide valve 30 is open, continuous operation of the filtration system with continuous supply of raw juice and continuous removal of permeate is possible. Flushing of the system is necessary in this case due to a decrease in the permeate flow in line 8 due to blockage of the membranes 7 of the module 6.
