Description

The present invention relates to a mobile unit for the treatment of raw water and a method for producing drinking water.

It concerns the technical field of mobile installations and processes for potabilizing raw water with the aim of providing an immediate solution in the drinking water supply in the heart of difficult-to-access treatment areas.

Mobile units are known to operate autonomously and can be quickly transported and installed in a disaster area and allow the production of drinking water by ultrafiltration from raw water pumped into a borehole, into a river or into a well.

In particular, document FR 2,797,439 (Maillillot Group) discloses a mobile unit for the production of drinking water by ultrafiltration comprising a transportable container containing suction means suitable for drawing raw water to be treated, a module for ultrafiltration fed raw water and clean to produce drinking water, a tank for storing drinking water and dispensing means fed from the storage tank.

This type of mobile unit is mainly used to treat raw water that is chemically potable, but bacteriologically non-potable. However, some areas may be affected by a nuclear, radioactive, biological and / or chemical (CBRN) accident. In such a case, the techniques ultrafiltration systems are not effective in providing water meeting the potability criteria required by IOMS (World Health Organization).

Also, depending on the nature of the incident, the only source of water available may be brackish water or seawater. Again, the ultrafiltration techniques used are ineffective.

In summary, the known mobile units of the prior art are suitable only for treating a single type of raw water.

To improve the quality of treated water and to prevent the proliferation of infectious diseases, the WHO guidelines recommend adapting the treatment of raw water according to their characteristics.

However, in the known prior art techniques, water analyzes are done downstream of the filtration system so that the water has generally been dispensed and may have been consumed before the results are available.

In addition, once the results are known, it is necessary to refine the filtration settings to optimize the potability of the treated water. It is a waste of extra time that can have adverse consequences in health emergencies.

Just as important as the treatment and analysis, the conditioning of the treated water is an essential link that makes it possible to see the two previous steps succeed. A conditioning of treated water that does not meet the same quality requirements as those existing for the analysis and treatment phases is likely to annihilate water purification efforts.

But known solutions of the prior art and in particular that described in FR 2.797.439 (Maillot Group) do not allow to store under optimal conditions the treated water.

Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better on reading the description of a preferred embodiment which will follow, with reference to the appended FIG. 1, made by way of indicative and nonlimiting example and representing schematically the mobile unit according to the invention. Referring to Figure 1, the mobile unit consists of a transportable container 1 for the treatment of raw water, a transportable container 2 for cooling the treated water and transportable container 3 for the packaging of the water. 'potable water. These containers are transportable by road, rail, sea and air. In practice, the container 1 for the treatment of raw water and the container 3 for the conditioning of drinking water are 20-foot sea containers. The container 2 for cooling is a 10-foot sea container.

The use of these different containers makes it possible to route quickly by hoist or truck the mobile unit object of the invention on any disaster area difficult to access.

Containers 1, 2 and 3 are interconnected by a pneumatic and electrical supply system with quick couplings and by flexible food grade piping connecting at the different interfaces via quick hydraulic connections.

In an embodiment variant not shown, all the elements are contained in a single transportable container.

The raw water to be treated 4 may come from surface fresh water, drilling, brackish water or seawater (up to 35 g / L of NaCl) which may be contaminated by nuclear or radioactive agents. biological and / or chemical (NRBC).

The mobile unit comprises a pumping means 5 intended to bring under pressure, via a feed circuit 6, the raw water in the various treatment modules. In practice, it is a demountable centrifugal dewatering pump disposed near the source of raw water to be treated and connected to flexible food grade piping.

All of this material is positioned outside the container 1, but during the transport phases, it can be stored in the free space inside one of the transportable containers 1, 2 or 3. The container 1 is connected to the supply circuit 6 via one or more hydraulic connections type Storck firefighter.

The container 1 is conditioned and preferentially divided into two parts separated by a partition:

a laboratory room equipped with a system 8 for analyzing the characteristics of the raw water to be treated and possibly comprising an office with supervision of a PLC via a PC, a technical room containing: a first treatment module 9 for the treating a freshwater surface or drilling, β a second treatment module 10 for the treatment of brackish water or seawater,

A third treatment module 11 for the treatment of a contaminated raw water nucleus, radiologically, biologically and / or chemically.

The following openings and accesses are provided: two side doors on the same side equipped with a window for the entry and exit of the staff in the laboratory room and a double door flaps at the end of the container, technical room side.

According to the invention, the analysis and treatment of raw water are not successive stages, but are instead intrinsically linked. There is simultaneity and accurate monitoring during these two phases. Water is analyzed before and after the filtration steps.

In practice, a sample of raw water is taken upstream of the treatment modules 9, 10 and 11 and sucked to the analysis system 8 via a pipe 81. A second analysis is performed downstream of the treatment modules, a sample of treated water being sucked to the analysis system 8 via a pipe 82. The analysis system 8 includes an equipment for analyzing the organoleptic parameters (color, turbidity, odor, flavor), the physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, conductivity), the microbiological parameters, the undesirable substances (nitrates, hydrocarbons, ...), toxic substances (arsenic, lead, ...), pesticides, NRBC agents.

The analysis system 8 is further equipped with an electromagnetic plate flowmeter coupled to an ultrasound probe for determining the amount of NaCl contained in the raw water to be treated. Other equivalent measuring devices can be envisaged. In order to meet the quality constraints set by the international standards as well as to facilitate the implementation, the analysis system 8 is a portable laboratory in the form of a suitcase that can be adapted to its most integrated form. transportable container 1.

Depending on the analyzed characteristics of the raw water, a device is provided to guide the flow of said raw water through the treatment modules 9, 10 and 11. In practice and as described later, this is to a hydraulic circuit connecting the different processing modules and equipped with valves actuated automatically via a controller connected to the analysis system 8. It can also be provided to manually operate the valves. The arrangement of the pipes and the actuation of the valves make it possible to circulate the raw water in one or more successive treatment modules.

The peak feed rate of the treatment modules 9, 10 and 11 is about 10 m ³ / h. The production rate varies according to the origin of the water and the turbidity of the water. From fresh surface water or drilling, the average production flow is about 60 m ³ / d of drinking water for turbidity up to about 150 NTU. For the same turbidity values from brackish water or seawater, the average flow rate of drinking water is approximately 40 m ³ / d. Beyond about 150 NTU, additional pre-treatments are put in place to maintain the previous production rates.

For waters with a turbidity greater than 150 NTU, a clarification pretreatment is provided in order to reduce the content of organic matter and suspended solids. Referring to Figure 1, a clarification module 7 is disposed between the pumping means 5 and the processing modules 9, 10 and 11.

According to the turbidity analyzed, a means 70 is provided for, prior to the treatment step, directing the raw water into the clarification module 7. In practice, it is a three-way valve controlled manually or automatically by via the PLC and arranged on the supply circuit 6.

According to the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the clarification module comprises:

a settling tank 71 of the open plastic flexible tank type,

a means 72 for injecting into the reservoir 71 a coagulant and / or a flocculant of the ferric chloride type, a means 73 for pumping the clarified raw water into the reservoir 71 and injecting it into one of the treatment modules 9 , 10 or 11. It is preferable to use a pump immersed by flotation.

All of this material is positioned outside the container 1, but during the transport phases, it can be stored in the free space inside one of the transportable containers 1, 2 or 3.

For waters with very high turbidity (greater than about 200 NTU), a two-layer sand filtration step is installed between the clarification step and the treatment step. To do this, a two-layer sand filtration module 13 is disposed between the clarification module 7 and the treatment modules 9, 10 and 11. A means 130 is provided at the outlet of the clarification module 7 for directing the raw water to be treated in the two-layer sand filtration module 13 when the turbidity analyzed is greater than about 200 NTU. In practice, it is a three-way valve controlled manually or automatically via the PLC and arranged on the supply circuit 6.

An automatic declogging pre-filter is preferably inserted upstream of the treatment modules 9, 10 and 11 to ensure the elimination of particles larger than 300 μm.

Surface fresh water or drilling (having a NaCl concentration of less than about 5 g / L) is directed to the first treatment module 9. Referring to Figure 1, the valves 121 and 122 are then closed and the valve 120 is open. The treated water is then stored in a tank 14.

This first module advantageously uses an ultrafiltration technique using hollow fiber membranes 90. These membranes make it possible to eliminate turbidity and suspended solids from the water, as well as to reduce the presence of microorganisms. The chemical characteristics of the raw water are not modified, any dissolved form freely crosses the membranes. The use of these membranes makes it possible to have a 6 log reduction on the total seeds, coliforms and Cryptosporidium, a viral reduction of 1 to 3 log, a turbidity lower than 0.1 NTU and a Fouling index lower than 3.

The membranes are made from hollow fibers of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The nominal cutoff threshold of the membrane is 0.1 microns which achieves a complete elimination of all particles and microorganisms larger than this cutoff threshold. The pressurized water passes through the wall of each fiber and exits through the free end thereof. The duration of the filtration depends on the quality of the raw water: the lower the turbidity of the water, the longer the filtration time. In case of very high turbidity, the filtration time can decrease up to 15 minutes. Filtration accumulates particles and microorganisms outside and on the surface of the hollow fibers and it is necessary to regularly remove this deposit. At the end of the filtration period, therefore, a backwash is advantageously carried out in order to maintain a constant filtration quality over time. In practice, a backwash is performed every two hours.

Water from a backwash module 91 is passed under pressure in the opposite direction of filtration, permeate side through a centrifugal pump 92. At the same time air is blown on the concentrate side from de-oiled service air. Simultaneous injection of air and water improves the efficiency of the backwash. A small amount of reagent such as chlorine can be injected at the same time as the backwash water. The chlorine injection allows the oxidation of the organic matter deposited on the surface of the membrane and ensures the disinfection of the permeate side of the filtration module and the pipes. The backwash then continues with water alone and without the addition of reagent. During this phase, the flow rate of the pump 92 is increased.

If a small part of the deposits is not removed by the hydraulic and mechanical action performed during backwashes, it is possible to perform a more efficient cleaning of the membrane surface using a solution capable of removing organic matter and an acidic solution carrying out the dissolution of the deposits of iron, manganese and precipitated carbonate salts.

Discharges of these different stages are collected in a specific tank or reprocessed directly by a chemical process or by heating.

Advantageously, downstream of the first treatment module 9, a filtration module 93 is provided for improving the organoleptic characteristics of the raw water to be treated (taste, odor, etc.). This module is arranged upstream of the first treatment module 9. In practice, the filtration module 93 is a grain activated carbon filter.

If the organoleptic characteristics of the raw water are satisfactory, a three-way valve 94 controlled by the controller and associated with a Line 95 connecting the inlet of the filtration module 93 to the inlet of the first treatment module 9 by-pass said filtration module 93.

Brackish water or sea water (having an NaCl concentration greater than or equal to about 5 g / l) is directed to the second treatment module 10. Referring to FIG. 1, the valves 120 and 122 are then closed and the valve 121 is open. The treated water is then stored in the tank 14.

For the production of the second processing module 10, a reverse osmosis unit 100 is advantageously used, comprising a membrane capable of stopping the particles of the size of the molecules, or even dissolved inorganic salts. This technique ensures effective desalination of the raw water to be treated.

According to the analyzed characteristics of the raw water, it is possible to circulate the latter in the first treatment module 9 before circulating it in the second treatment module 10. To do this, a three-way valve 123 is provided. by the PLC and associated with a pipe 15 connecting the outlet of the first module 9 to the inlet of the second module 10. The feed water of the second module 10 can also be pumped via the tank 14 storing the filtered water by the first module 9.

Water contaminated with NRBC agents is directed to the third treatment module 11. Referring to Figure 1, the valves 120 and 121 are then closed and the valve 122 is open. The treated water is then stored in the tank 14.

For the production of the third treatment module 11, a double-stage reverse osmosis unit is preferably used, each stage 111 and 112 advantageously comprising three membranes arranged in series capable of stopping the NRBC agents. Depending on the type of NRBC agents to be removed, it is possible to circulate the raw water through the two stages 111 and 112 or through only one of these stages. For example, in the case of a chemical agent, filtration through a single stage may be sufficient while for a nuclear agent, filtration through both stages is required. To do this, a means is provided for bypassing one of the two stages 111 or 112 of the reverse osmosis unit according to the NRBC agent analyzed. In practice, using a three-way valve 114 controlled by the automaton and associated with a pipe 113 connecting the output of the first stage 111 to the output of the second stage 112. Depending on the activated channels of the valve 114, the water is directed either to the second stage 112 or to the storage tank 14.

A module 115 for lime re-mineralization and for adjusting the pH of the osmosis water is placed downstream of the double-stage reversing stage in order to re-mineralize and de-acidify, if necessary, the water to return to neutral pH in accordance with drinking water requirements. This module is triggered manually or automatically via the PLC connected to the analysis system 8. A three-way valve 116 controlled by the PLC and associated with a pipe 117 connecting the output of the double-stage inverter reverse osmosis the input of the module 115 directs the water to said module.

Depending on the analyzed characteristics of the raw water, it is possible to circulate the latter in the first treatment module 9 before circulating in the third treatment module 11. Referring to Figure 1, there is provided a valve three channels 124 controlled by the PLC and associated with a pipe 16 connecting the output of the first module 9 to the input of the third module 11. The feed water of the third module 11 can also be pumped via the vessel 14 storing the water filtered by the first module 9.

A chlorine dioxide dosing and injection station is advantageously used, the point of injection of which is arranged at the outlet of the storage tank 14.

A pumping means 18 makes it possible to draw the treated water contained in the storage tank 14 to inject a portion of it to the cooling system 20 and the other part to a flexible open-air tank 19. The tank 19 can ensure the water requirements of a surgical antenna, from 13 m ³ / d to 33 m ³ / d. The pumping means 18 and the tank 19 are positioned outside the container during the production of drinking water. During the transport phases, this material can be stored in the free space inside one of the containers 1, 2 or 3.
