を実施するのが普通であった。In the filtration of hollow fiber membranes, the hollow fiber membranes are processed into a product form in which thousands to tens of thousands are bundled and the ends are fixed with an adhesive. The products processed into these product forms are called hollow fiber membrane modules. Many types of hollow fiber membrane modules capable of filtering liquid have been proposed in the past.

In Japanese Patent No. 3605, a hollow fiber membrane is incorporated into a U-shape and is housed in a container for use. Air is regularly introduced from an air inlet provided at the bottom of the container to perform air scrubbing to produce the hollow fiber. The film is vibrated to try to remove the deposits on the film surface. In addition, JP-A-60-206
Japanese Patent No. 415 is a fixed-end type module in which hollow fiber membranes are arranged around a central pipe, and is incorporated in a container in the same manner as described above to remove deposits on the surface of the hollow fiber membranes by air scrubbing. The practical application of these technologies has already started.

水の各工程の合計が洗浄時間になり、かなりの時間がか
かる。In the operation of the hollow fiber membrane module, if the filtration operation is continued, dust, suspended matter, etc. adhere to the membrane surface and the filtration pressure rises, so that the physical cleaning operation is periodically performed. It is necessary to remove the adhering components on the film surface. Regarding the timing of performing the physical cleaning operation, it is common to perform the physical cleaning operation at regular time intervals or to perform the physical cleaning operation when a constant pressure is reached.However, the current cleaning operation has the following problems. It is left. That is, the washing operation is preferably finished in the shortest possible time from the viewpoint of efficiency because the filtration operation is stopped and performed, but in the case of air scrubbing washing, which is one of the most efficient physical washing methods, Actually, the sum of each process of air scrubbing, drainage, and water supply is the cleaning time, and it takes a considerable amount of time.

ュールユニットを2セット用い、ろ過と洗浄をそれぞれ
交互に行なう方法も採用されているがろ過水が連続的に
得られる反面、装置が大きくなりコストも高くなる。Since the filtration operation is stopped during the washing time, the filtered water cannot be supplied during that time, but if it is necessary to continuously supply the filtered water, a method is generally used in which a filtered water tank is provided and a pump is used. Therefore, the shorter the cleaning time, the smaller the tank capacity. A method is also adopted in which two sets of modules or module units are used and filtration and washing are alternately performed, but while the filtered water can be continuously obtained, the apparatus becomes large and the cost becomes high.

が求められていた。Therefore, by examining the conditions of the cleaning method, the cleaning time, the cleaning interval, the amount of cleaning air, etc. are optimized.
However, since the time required for cleaning in the filtration operation of raw water with a lot of dirt is considerably long, a means for shortening the cleaning time has been required.

【課題を解決するための手段】本発明の目的は、空気ス

In the method of cleaning a hollow fiber membrane module in which the filtration performance of the hollow fiber membrane is recovered by performing an air cleaning operation consisting of an air scrubbing process and a drainage process after performing the filtration operation of the undiluted solution, the drain port is closed, the air supply port and the air vent This is achieved by opening the mouth and performing air scrubbing, then opening the drainage port, closing the air vent port, and opening the air supply port to drain the water while the inside of the container is pressurized by the supply air.

を回復させることが必要となってくる。The feed water to be filtered is supplied from the undiluted solution feed port 3 of the porous hollow fiber filtration membrane module (hereinafter referred to as the hollow fiber membrane module), and is filtered by the innumerable fine pores open on the surface of the hollow fiber membrane. Then, only clear water from which SS components, fine particles, dust, bacteria, etc. have been removed permeates the inside of the hollow fiber membrane and is taken out from the filtered water outlet 7 as filtered water. In filtration of the hollow fiber membrane module, the larger the raw water pressure is, the larger the amount of filtered water becomes, but with the passage of filtration time, the SS components, fine particles, etc. adhere to the membrane surface and more or less clogging of the hollow fiber membrane occurs. The amount of filtered water per pressure usually decreases gradually. Therefore, in order to continue to use the hollow fiber membranes and modules for a long period of time, a cleaning operation such as air scrubbing is performed at an appropriate time when the hollow fiber membranes have been clogged and the amount of filtered water has decreased. It is necessary to recover the filtered water amount of the hollow fiber membrane to a level close to that before clogging.

分〜10分も必要であった。First, the procedure of the conventional example will be described. FIG. 1 shows a general module structure. In the hollow fiber membrane 8 filled in the container 1, the undiluted solution supply port 3 is closed to wash the dirt on the membrane surface by filtration, and the cleaning air supply port 4 and the air vent port 5 are used. The air is scrubbed and the deposits on the film surface are shaken off. After completion of the air scrubbing, the cleaning air supply port is closed, the air vent port is left open, and the dirty cleaning liquid is discharged to the outside by opening the drain port 6. After discharging, the stock solution supply port is opened, and when the stock solution is filled in the container, the air vent port is closed, the stock solution supply pressure is applied to the container, and the filtered water is supplied from the filtered water outlet 7. Generally, the larger the dirt on the membrane surface, the longer the air scrubbing time needs to be, and the higher the frequency of cleaning. Contaminated stock solutions such as river water and lake water require a cleaning time of 5 to 60 minutes for a filtration time of 30 to 60 minutes.
Minutes to 10 minutes were needed.

排水操作に比べて著しく洗浄時間が短くなる。On the other hand, in the present invention, the operation is improved as follows. That is, in the operation of performing drainage by opening the drain port 6 while supplying the cleaning air of the above conventional example from the air supply port 4, the air vent port 5 is closed in the present application. As a result, the dirty cleaning liquid in the container 1 is pushed by the cleaning air and is discharged in a pressurized state, which is faster than in the case where the cleaning air is not pressurized, and compared to the normal drainage operation in which air is not supplied. The cleaning time is significantly shortened.

The method of the present invention is not limited to such a structure, and for example, the undiluted solution supply port, the air supply port, and the drainage port are integrated into one on the way and connected to the container as one pipe. Even a form of module is not an obstacle to carrying out the method of the invention.

It is particularly preferably about 2.0 kgf / cm 2 .

If the filtration time is shortened, the washing time can be shortened. However, shortening the filtration time and increasing the number of washings are not preferable because the recovery rate of the stock solution decreases. Generally, the raw water having a turbidity of about 0.1 to 1 degree is filtered for 12 to 24 hours, and the washing time is about 5 to 20 minutes, and the raw water having a turbidity of about 1 to 10 degree is used for 0.5 to 1 hour.

After sealing in separate times, one of the outer cylinders was cut with a cutter at the second sealing portion to open the hollow fiber membrane bundle. Using this hollow fiber membrane module,
Lake Biwa water was supplied at 10 l / min by opening the undiluted solution supply port, and after the air was released, the air vent port was closed to obtain 10 l / min of filtered water. After passing water for 1 hour and the membrane surface was dirty, close the undiluted solution supply port, open the air vent port and the air supply port, blow 30 liters / min of air and scrub for 3 minutes.
It continued for 5 seconds when the air vent was closed while the air was being supplied, the drain was opened, and the dirty cleaning liquid was drained.
After washing, lake water was again passed through the undiluted solution supply port to fill the container, so the air vent port was closed and water was passed, and normal filtration was possible.
