In the above conventional example, there are the following problems with respect to the reliability of the measurement value itself of the continuous turbidimeter 4. The first problem is that, when bubbles are entrained for some reason in the membrane filtration water flowing into the continuous turbidity meter 4, a high turbidity value must be determined in order to erroneously recognize this as a turbidity component on the measurement principle. May be output. The second problem is that the scale (mainly composed of calcium) or slime (mainly composed of organic matter) that has adhered to the piping on the membrane filtration side peels off and flows into the continuous turbidimeter 4, High turbidity values may be output. These problems occur because the value of the continuous turbidimeter 4 outputs a high turbidity value even when the membrane is not damaged or broken.
There is a problem in that it is judged that there is a possibility that the membrane has been damaged or broken, and the flow of water through the membrane filtration device is stopped, and every time the continuous turbidity meter 4 needs to be inspected manually. Was.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the hollow fiber is in a normal state, the turbidity value is approximately 0.0025, as shown in FIG.
Although turbidity values of the order of 0.0048 degrees have also appeared. Although not shown, turbidity of 0.0038 degrees, which is 1.5 times the turbidity of 0.0025 degrees in the normal state, continued for about 3 minutes. On the other hand, as shown in (b), when one hollow fiber is damaged, the turbidity value is
It fluctuated in the range of 0.0025 degrees to 0.0025 degrees.
The turbidity value in the state where one hollow fiber membrane was broken fluctuated in the range of 0.0048 degrees to 0.0070 degrees as shown in (c). In addition, the turbidity value in a state where three hollow fiber membranes were broken varied in the range of 0.0090 degrees to 0.0153 degrees as shown in (d). As is clear from this experiment, it was found that it was relatively easy to determine the turbidity value when one or more hollow fiber membranes were broken. Turbidity was found to be difficult to determine using only the continuous turbidimeter 4.

[0009] The turbidity value of the membrane filtration water when one hollow fiber membrane is broken is less than 0.01 degree and does not exceed the provisional guideline value. Since the size of the microorganism is about 3 to 5 μm, there is a problem that there is a risk that pathogenic microorganisms and the like may be mixed during membrane filtration.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a method of detecting a membrane damage of a membrane filtration device having a membrane damage detection device will be described. The operation method of the membrane filtration device includes a membrane damage detection method. During normal operation, filtration module 3
As described above, raw water is separated into circulating water and membrane filtered water as described above. The membrane filtered water flows through the filtered water supply pipe 12 and is sent to the next step. During the membrane filtration process, the filtered water
The turbidity is measured by the continuous turbidity meter 4 (step S1). The measured value is input to the control means 5 and subjected to signal processing. The control means 5 determines whether or not the measured value of the continuous turbidimeter 4 has exceeded a predetermined value (step S).
2). When the measured value of the continuous turbidimeter 4 exceeds the predetermined value in step S2, the process proceeds to step S3, and the value equal to or more than the predetermined value is continuously measured for a predetermined time. If the turbidity exceeds a predetermined value and exceeds a predetermined time, it is determined that the membrane may be damaged or broken, and the process proceeds to step S4.
The control signal A is output, and the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the circulating pump 2 is stopped, the membrane filtration operation is stopped, the motor-operated valves 6 and 7 installed on the membrane filtration side are closed (the state is also closed when water is passed), and the compressor 9 removes the compressed air. Pressurized air is supplied to the inside of the hollow fiber through the filter 10 and the electric valve 8 to a pressure lower than the bubbling point of the filtration membrane, and after the pressure gauge 11 reaches a predetermined pressure, the electric valve 8 is closed, The compressor 9 is stopped. In order to monitor the pressure change of the pressurized air on the filtration side, the output value of the pressure gauge 11 is measured for a predetermined time. Proceeding to step S6, the initial filling pressure, which is the pressure of the pressurized air when the pressurized air is filled into the filtration side of the filtration membrane module 3 to be in the holding state, and the pressure measurement value (filling pressure) after a lapse of a predetermined time The pressure holding ratio is calculated and calculated from the above. Step S7
Then, it is determined whether the pressure holding ratio is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. If the pressure holding ratio is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S8, where the control signal C is output, and the process returns to step S1. If it is below the predetermined value,
The control signal B is output assuming that the membrane module is damaged or broken (step S9). Then, the process proceeds to step S10, where the membrane module of the filtration membrane module 3 using the hollow fiber membrane is replaced, and the process returns to step S1 to repeat the normal operation.

In step S7, if the value is equal to or more than the predetermined value, the control signal C is output and the electric valve 7 is opened, so that the pressure on the filtration side of the membrane module 3 through the pipe 13 is increased. After being released and the output value of the pressure gauge 11 becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the electric valve 7 is closed. Thereafter, by operating the circulation pump 2, the water flow to the filtration membrane module 3 is re-established. On the other hand, if the value is less than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S9, in which the control signal A is output, and the occurrence of film damage or breakage is notified by an alarm sound or a warning display by an indicator lamp, and the operation manager is notified. Prompt replacement of membrane module.

The pressurized air supplied to the filtration membrane side of the filtration membrane module 3 makes it easy to judge membrane damage when raw water is removed from the supply side of the filtration membrane module 3 and when raw water is not removed. Experiments were conducted on the properties using a conventional membrane filtration device. The result will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A shows a state in which air is supplied to the inside (filtration water side) of the hollow fiber membrane in a state in which the outside (supply side) of the hollow fiber membrane of the filtration membrane module 3 is filled with water, and the air is supplied to a portion below the bubbling point of the membrane.

As is clear from the comparison of FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the air is supplied to the inside of the hollow fiber membrane while the outside of the hollow fiber membrane is filled with water, the membrane is damaged. The pressure drop during (a state in which the hollow fiber is not cut) increases, and it is possible to easily determine that the membrane is normal and that the membrane is damaged. Therefore, for membrane damage detection, air is supplied to the inside (filtration water side) of the hollow fiber membrane while the outside (supply side) of the hollow fiber membrane is filled with water without draining the raw water on the supply side. Then, the film damage is detected.
