Definitions
- the invention relates to an improved membrane type liquid purification system, more particularly to a system using reverse osmosis.
- the invention can be used primarily for purifying water of a lower level of purity.
- Membrane type liquid purification is well known in the art and very high degree of purification can be reached if the purification utilizes reverse osmosis. This latter technique often requires a sufficient extent of prepuri- fication. Water purification constitutes the most dominant field of liquid purification, therefore in the following part of the description primarily this technique will be mentioned, although similar considerations may be applied in case of purifying other types of liquids.
- the purified water will have a lower pH and will be well below the solubility limit of the contaminates that are contained in the feed water.
- a major contaminate found in most feed water that causes a scaling problem is calcium carbonate.
- the solubility product is a constant that indicates the total solubility of a given substance in water. Exceeding this limit will produce a scale that may be deposited on the membrane surface. This scaling will decrease the flux rate of the membrane (i.e. the amount of purified water that will pass through the membrane) and thereby require that the membrane be cleaned more frequently to remove the scale. In fact, if the scaling becomes too severe, the membrane will be irreversibly fouled and will need to be replaced.
- Scale preventing or decreasing pretreatment methods are widely applied which include mainly softening. Salts used for softening the feedwater provide a salt loading to theen- vironment and increase operational costs. Apart from directly decreasing the flux rate through the membrane, scaling has further adverse side effects. As the amount of scale increases during use, more sites for biolo ⁇ gical growth will be available both in the membrane and in the associated piping. Biological growth has at least two negative impacts on the effectivity of membrane performance. First, the biological growth contaminates the feed side of the membrane with bacteria, viruses and the like which have the potential to migrate to the water on the purified side of the membrane thus contaminating the product water. Se ⁇ condly, the biological growth itself can foul the membrane thus reducing the flux rate.
- German patent 3.106.772 a reverse osmosis water puri ⁇ fication method is described, in which an adjustable portion of the permeate leaving the membrane module is recycled to the atmospheric tank that contains the feed raw water.
- the method is capable of providing a more uniform composition of the feed water by diluting the same in case of higher degree of contamination.
- recycled water together with feed water is passed through the membrane under operational pressure conditions.
- the primary object of the invention is to provide a mem ⁇ brane-based purification system and purification method, in which scaling is effectively reduced compared to conven ⁇ tional systems of comparable output.
- a further object of the invention is to reduce environ ⁇ mental load by decreasing or eliminating the need of soften ⁇ ing the feed water.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a purification system and method with decreased tendency of biological growth.
- puri ⁇ fied liquid can be reintroduced to the system in cleaning cycles instead of non-purified feed liquid so that this liquid can contact the input side of the semi permeable membrane, whereby contaminates present in the system, mainly those deposited on the membrane, can go into solution due to the lower solubility product and lower pH of the purified liquid and the redissolved contaminates can be removed to ⁇ gether with the reintroduced liquid.
- the cleaning or re ⁇ versing of the scaling on the membrane surface is due to the increased ability of the purified liquid (e.g. water) to re- dissolve the minerals that caused the scaling due to the fact that the liquid would not be saturated with, and there ⁇ by not in equilibrum with, a given contaminant.
- a membrane type liquid purification system which comprises:
- -a supply means feeding a liquid to be purified
- -a purification unit with a membrane and having an inflow port connectable to the supply means and an outflow port delivering purified liquid, the liquid to be purified is separated by the membrane from the purified liquid;
- -pump means for passing liquid through the membrane with a predetermined first pressure in purifying cycles when the supply means is connected to the inflow port and refeeding purified liquid with a predetermined second pressure to the inflow port in cleaning cycles when the port is coupled to the redistribution loop;
- -discharge means for discharging at least a portion of the resupplied purified liquid together with any contami ⁇ nants redissolved from the membrane during the cleaning cycles.
- the purification unit is a reverse osmosis unit which has a reject liquid port and the dis ⁇ charge means is connected to the reject liquid port.
- the discharge means comprises a tube with a portion having a smaller cross section and the tube has a free end connectable to a drain.
- valve means comprises a control unit supplying switching signals in response to predeter ⁇ mined first and second liquid levels in the storage means, a feed valve connected between the supply means and the inflow port controlled by the switching signal, and the pump means comprises a first pump connected between the feed valve and the inflow port, the first pump is activated in the purify ⁇ ing cycles by the control unit and provides the first pres ⁇ sure, and wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure.
- the pump means may further comprise a second pump pro ⁇ viding recirculation in the redistribution loop.
- pressure decreasing means and biased valve means are connected in the path between the redistribution loop and the inflow port to pro ⁇ vide the second pressure during the cleaning cycles and to prevent flow of liquid to the redistribution loop from the supply means during the cleaning cycles.
- the system may further comprise pressure regulating means keeping pressure in the redistribution loop within predetermined limit values.
- a valve can be used for preventing reverse flow of li ⁇ quid between the unit and the storage means.
- the liquid to be purified is water.
- a method for purifying a liquid by a mer.brane type purify ⁇ ing unit which comprises the steps of:
- interruption periods resupplying previously purified liquid towards the unit to get into contact with inflow side of the membrane and to dissolve any soluble contaminants that might have previously been deposited on the inflow side of the membrane;
- the passage of the liquid to be purified is applied with a pressure that exceeds the one applied during the resupplying step.
- the purifying unit is preferably a reverse osmosis unit and the discharging step relates to the liquid rejected by said membrane.
- the main advantage of the invention lies in the in ⁇ creased lifetime of the membrane due to the decreased extent of scaling which reduces operational and investment costs and increases reliability.
- An associated advantage lies in that there might be no need for specific scale preventing pretreatment of the feed water such as softening and this reduces material consumption and environmental load caused by the discharge of salt as well as costs.
- the biological growth will also be minimized due to both the lack of sites for the biological growth to attach to and in the case of the fluid flowing past the membrane to drain in the cleaning cycles, the bacteria, etc. are continuously removed from the system thereby adding to the sanitary nature of the purified water.
- Fig. 1 shows the schematic layout of a preferred embodi ⁇ ment of the liquid purifying system according to the invention.
- the simplified reverse osmosis membrane type purifica ⁇ tion system shown in Fig. 1 comprises a pretreatment line for the unpurified water entering in the system which con ⁇ sists of a carbon filter 1 and a prefilter 2.
- Feed valve 3 is connected in the outflow line of the prefilter 2 cont ⁇ rolled by control unit 20 in response to water level in sto ⁇ rage tank 9.
- the outflow line of the feed valve 3 is connected to pressurizing pump 4 feeding input of a reverse osmosis unit comprising a semi permeable membrane 6.
- a first check valve 5 is connected in parallel with the pressurizing pump 4 and it has a bias pressure smaller than the pressure provided by the pressurizing pump 4 so that the first check valve 5 is closed when the pressurizing pump 4 is running.
- a second check valve 15 is connected to the junction of the feed valve 3 and the input of the pressurizing pump 4.
- a the se ⁇ cond check valve 15 has a smaller bias pressure than the first one and it is kept closed by the operational pressure of the feed water if the feed valve 3 is in open condition.
- Reject fluid outflow line of the reverse osmosis unit has a restriction orifice 7 defining a flow path with re ⁇ quizd cross section.
- the outflow opening of this line leads to a vented drain 8.
- the reverse osmosis unit has a purified water outflow line leading through a third check valve 16 to the inlet of the storage tank 9.
- the third check valve 16 has the task of prohibiting any reverse flow of water from the storage tank 9 to the reverse osmosis unit that would otherwise jeopardize correct operation of the membrane 6.
- Outflow line of the storage tank 9 is connected directly or through optional deionization and ultraviolet steriliza ⁇ tion units (not shown) to repressurization pump 10 providing pressure and sufficient flow to a distribution loop 11 feed ⁇ ing outflow lines 12 connectable to end users of the puri ⁇ fied water.
- a feedback line of the distribution loop 11 is " ⁇ O ⁇
- the feed water is supplied through the pretreatment line at a predetermined pressure e.g. 50 psi to the input of the purification system.
- the purity of the supplied water should fall in the operational input range of the reverse osmosis unit. If the water level in the storage tank 9 is below a predetermined maximum value, the control unit 20 opens the path of the feed valve 3 and makes the pressurizing pump 4 running. The input pressure of about 50 psi closes the second check valve 15.
- the pressurizing pump 4 boosts the feed water pressure to a higher value e.g. to 200 psi and this pressure prevails at the semi permeable membrane 6. Purified water will pass through the membrane 6 due to the fact that the selected input pressure overcomes the osmotic pressure that would otherwise prevail between the two sides of the membrane 6. This pressure keeps the first check valve 5 closed and the purified water leaving the reverse osmosis units flows through the now open third check valve 16 in the storage tank 9.
- the reject water that comprises the concentrated impuri ⁇ ties will flow through the restriction orifice 7 and reach the vented drain 8.
- the repressurization pump 10 provides an output pressure in the outflow line of the storage tank 9 required in the redistribution loop.
- the pressure regulating valve ensures that this pressure remains below a predetermined maximum value.
- the consumers connected to the system through the outflow lines 12 will always receive purified water.
- the control unit 20 turns over, closes the feed valve 3 and stops the pres- surizing pump 4.
- the pressure at the input side of the reverse osmosis unit decreases, since the reject line is coupled through the restriction orifice 7 to an open end.
- purified water will flow from the distribution loop 11 through the second restriction orifice 14 to the input side of the reverse osmosis unit.
- This flow streams to the reject line of the reverse osmosis unit passes through the first restriction orifice 7 and leaves the system at the vented drain 8.
- the flow rate can be adjusted by the appropriate selection of the cross sec ⁇ tion of the two restriction orifices 7 and 14 and of the connecting pipes.
- the purified water in the distribution loop 11 contains substantially less amount of contaminants than the original feed water, therefore the solubility product of the conta ⁇ minants (e.g. calcium and carbonate ions) deposited on the input side of the membrane 6 will be lower than in case of feed water. This results in that the contaminants previously deposited or precipitated on the membrane 6 will go into solution and they will be removed with the reject water. This action is further enhanced due to the lower pH of the purified water which increases solubility.
- the bias pressure of the third check valve 16 prevents the flow of purified water towards the storage tank 20 during the cleaning cycles.
- the control unit 20 has a certain extent of hysteresis so that the cleaning cycle does not end in the moment when the water level in the tank starts decreasing. With approp ⁇ riate dimensioning it can be provided that a major portion of soluble contaminants will be removed from the membrane 6 which dramatically increases the useful life reverse osmosis system.
- the cleaning cycle is connected with a given loss of purified water but in exchange of this loss an increased lifetime is obtained during which much more amount of puri ⁇ fied water can be produced.
- the control unit 20 turns over again and the next purification cycle is started which utilizes now a sufficiently cleaned membrane 6.
- the invention can in no way be limited to the preferred embodiment shown by way of example only.
- the storage tank 9 can be replaced e.g. by a bladder tank and the required flow can be provided by other layout of the tubes and pumps as well.
