 下排水や産業排水中の汚濁物質等を生物処理又は凝集沈殿処理し、濾過膜モジュールで濾過する膜分離処理システムにおいては、反応槽中に濾過膜モジュールを浸漬し、濾過操作により被濾過水を膜分離する。 In a membrane separation treatment system that performs biological treatment or coagulation sedimentation treatment of pollutants in sewage and industrial wastewater, and filters them with a filtration membrane module, the filtration membrane module is immersed in a reaction tank and filtered water is filtered. Membrane separation.
 濾過操作によって、濾過膜モジュールの膜面および膜面内部細孔部には、除去された汚濁物質等が付着、堆積する。通常、膜面への汚濁物質等の付着や堆積を抑制することにより濾過操作時間を長く継続させ濾過運転の効率を上げる目的で、濾過膜モジュールの底部から曝気を行い、膜面に激しい気泡流を衝突させて付着・堆積の抑制を図るためにスクラビングエアを供給する。また、あわせて、一定周期で濾過水を濾過膜モジュールに加圧通水して汚れを逆洗除去する。しかし、スクラビングエアと逆洗によっても長期にわたる抑制効果には、限界がある。そのため、スクラビングエアや逆洗によっても膜面に徐々に付着、堆積する汚濁物質等を定期的に除去するため、付着、堆積する汚濁物質等を反応除去する薬液洗浄を行なうことが必須となる。 By the filtration operation, the removed pollutant or the like adheres to and accumulates on the membrane surface of the membrane membrane module and the pores inside the membrane surface. Normally, in order to keep the filtration operation time longer and to improve the efficiency of the filtration operation by suppressing the adhesion and accumulation of pollutants on the membrane surface, aeration is performed from the bottom of the filtration membrane module, and intense bubble flow on the membrane surface. Scrubbing air is supplied in order to prevent adhesion and accumulation by colliding. At the same time, the filtered water is pressurized and passed through the membrane filter module at a fixed period to remove the dirt backwashing. However, there is a limit to the long-term suppression effect even by scrubbing air and backwashing. For this reason, in order to periodically remove contaminants that gradually adhere to and deposit on the film surface even by scrubbing air or backwashing, it is essential to perform chemical cleaning that reacts and removes the contaminants that adhere and deposit.
 薬液としては、付着、堆積する汚濁物質等が有機物による場合には、次亜塩素酸ナトリウムが広く用いられ、無機物による場合には、シュウ酸が用いられる。 As the chemical solution, sodium hypochlorite is widely used when the pollutant or the like deposited or deposited is organic, and oxalic acid is used when it is inorganic.
 そして、この薬液を用いた濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法として、インライン洗浄とオンエア洗浄が知られている。 And, in-line cleaning and on-air cleaning are known as a method for cleaning a membrane filter module using this chemical solution.
 インライン洗浄は、反応槽に浸漬した濾過膜モジュールを浸漬したままの状態で、濾過膜モジュールの2次側(濾過水取り出し側)から次亜塩素酸ナトリウム溶液等の薬液を注入して、該薬液を濾過膜モジュールの1次側(被濾過水供給側)へ浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄する方法である(以下、第1の洗浄方法)。 In-line cleaning is performed by injecting a chemical solution such as sodium hypochlorite solution from the secondary side (filtrated water removal side) of the filtration membrane module while the filtration membrane module immersed in the reaction tank is immersed. Is permeated and permeated into the primary side (filtered water supply side) of the filtration membrane module to perform chemical cleaning of the filtration membrane module (hereinafter referred to as a first cleaning method).
 オンエア洗浄方法は、濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝した状態で、濾過膜モジュールの2次側から次亜塩素酸ナトリウム溶液等の薬液を注入して、該薬液を濾過膜モジュールの2次側から1次側へ浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄する方法である。 In the on-air cleaning method, a chemical solution such as a sodium hypochlorite solution is injected from the secondary side of the filtration membrane module while the filtration membrane module is exposed to the air, and the chemical solution is injected from the secondary side of the filtration membrane module. In this method, the filtration membrane module is permeated and permeated to the primary side to perform chemical cleaning.
 具体的には、オンエア洗浄方法には、主として以下の3つの方法が知られている。 Specifically, the following three methods are known as on-air cleaning methods.
 その1は、浸漬している反応槽から濾過膜モジュールを引き抜いて、気中に曝し、濾過膜モジュールの2次側から次亜塩素酸ナトリウム溶液等の薬液を注入して、該薬液を濾過膜モジュールの2次側から1次側へ浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄する方法である(以下、第2の洗浄方法)。 The first is that the filtration membrane module is pulled out from the submerged reaction tank and exposed to the air, and a chemical solution such as a sodium hypochlorite solution is injected from the secondary side of the filtration membrane module, and the chemical solution is removed from the filtration membrane. In this method, the membrane filter is permeated and permeated from the secondary side to the primary side of the module to clean the filtration membrane module (hereinafter referred to as a second cleaning method).
 その2は、濾過膜モジュールを浸漬している反応槽から、槽内液を排出し、反応槽内にて濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝した状態で、濾過膜モジュールの2次側から次亜塩素酸ナトリウム溶液等の薬液を注入して、該薬液を濾過膜モジュールの1次側へ浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄する方法である(以下、第3の洗浄方法)。 The second is that the liquid in the tank is discharged from the reaction tank in which the filtration membrane module is immersed, and the filtration membrane module is exposed to the air in the reaction tank. This is a method of injecting a chemical solution such as a sodium chlorate solution and allowing the chemical solution to permeate and permeate the primary side of the filtration membrane module to wash the filtration membrane module (hereinafter, a third cleaning method).
 その3は、反応槽とは別に、濾過膜モジュール専用に浸漬させる槽を設けた外付け浸漬槽方式により、汚濁物質等の処理を行なう場合に、この方式での薬液洗浄は、外付け浸漬槽の槽内液だけを排出することでよいため、上記第3の洗浄方法に較べて排出液の量を低減でき、さらに、排出液を反応槽に一時的に貯留する方法をとった上で、濾過膜モジュールを上記第3の洗浄方法と同じ薬液洗浄する方法が取れる(以下、第4の洗浄方法)。
上記洗浄方法を開示したものとして、例えば特許文献1がある。
The third is that, in the case of processing the pollutant and the like by an external immersion tank system provided with a tank dedicated to the filtration membrane module separately from the reaction tank, the chemical solution cleaning in this system is an external immersion tank. Since only the liquid in the tank needs to be discharged, the amount of the discharged liquid can be reduced as compared with the third cleaning method, and further, after taking a method of temporarily storing the discharged liquid in the reaction tank, The same chemical cleaning method as the third cleaning method can be used for the filtration membrane module (hereinafter referred to as a fourth cleaning method).
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses the above-described cleaning method.

 上記第1の洗浄方法(インライン洗浄方法)は、濾過膜モジュールを反応槽の槽内液中に浸漬させた状態で薬液を注入するため、反応槽内での液圧により薬液が濾過膜モジュール内に浸透し難く、さらに、濾過膜モジュールの表面で浸透・透過後の薬液は、槽内液により薬液濃度は希釈されるため、濾過膜モジュールの膜面部分に付着・堆積した汚濁物質等の洗浄効果は減じられる。また、濾過膜モジュールに目詰まりが生じている場合に、該目詰まり部分には薬液が行き渡らずに洗浄斑が発生する。洗浄斑を無くすためには、薬液をより高圧で多量に濾過膜モジュールに注入しなければならず、高圧ポンプと多量の薬液を必要とする。 In the first cleaning method (in-line cleaning method), the chemical solution is injected in a state where the filtration membrane module is immersed in the liquid in the reaction tank. In addition, the chemical solution that has permeated and permeated on the surface of the filtration membrane module is diluted by the solution in the tank, so cleaning of contaminated substances attached to and deposited on the membrane surface of the filtration membrane module The effect is reduced. Moreover, when clogging has arisen in the filtration membrane module, the chemical | medical solution does not spread over this clogging part but a cleaning spot generate | occur | produces. In order to eliminate cleaning spots, a chemical solution must be injected into the filtration membrane module in a large amount at a higher pressure, which requires a high-pressure pump and a large amount of chemical solution.
 上記第2の洗浄方法(オンエア洗浄方法)は、濾過膜モジュールを反応槽から引き抜いて、気中に移動させるために、チェーンブロックなどの昇降機器を使用する必要があり、また、濾過水配管やスクラビング用エア配管等の取り外し作業等や洗浄終了後の取り付け等の煩雑な作業が必要となる。 In the second cleaning method (on-air cleaning method), it is necessary to use a lifting device such as a chain block in order to pull out the filtration membrane module from the reaction tank and move it in the air. It is necessary to perform complicated operations such as removing the scrubbing air pipe and installing it after completion of cleaning.
 上記第3の洗浄方法(オンエア洗浄方法)は、反応槽から引き抜いた槽内液を一時的に溜めておく貯留槽が別途必要となる。通常、濾過膜モジュールは、水深4~5mの反応槽の底部まで浸漬されているので、濾過膜モジュール全体を気中に曝すためには、反応槽の槽内液をほぼ全量抜き出すこととなり、抜き出した槽内液を一時的に貯留する大容量の槽や移送用ポンプ等の設備や設置による建設費や運転費の増大につながる。 The third cleaning method (on-air cleaning method) requires a separate storage tank for temporarily storing the liquid in the tank extracted from the reaction tank. Usually, the filtration membrane module is immersed to the bottom of the reaction tank at a depth of 4 to 5 m. In order to expose the entire filtration membrane module to the air, almost all of the liquid in the reaction tank is drawn out. This leads to an increase in construction costs and operating costs due to the installation and installation of large capacity tanks and transfer pumps that temporarily store the liquid in the tank.
 上記第4の洗浄方法(オンエア洗浄方法)、即ち、反応槽とは別に、濾過膜モジュール専用に浸漬させる槽を設けた外付け浸漬槽方式では、外付け浸漬槽の槽内液だけを排出することですむため、上記第3の洗浄方法に較べて排出液の量を低減でき、さらに、排出液を反応槽へ移送し一時的に貯留槽として兼用できる。しかし、外付け浸漬槽の設置や反応槽から外付け浸漬槽への液移送ポンプを必要とするなど、上記第3の洗浄方法による装置には及ばないものの建設費や運転費が増大する。 In the fourth cleaning method (on-air cleaning method), that is, in the external immersion tank method provided with a tank dedicated to the filtration membrane module separately from the reaction tank, only the liquid in the external immersion tank is discharged. As a result, the amount of the discharged liquid can be reduced as compared with the third cleaning method, and the discharged liquid can be transferred to the reaction tank and temporarily used as a storage tank. However, the construction cost and the operating cost are increased although they do not reach the apparatus by the third cleaning method, such as the installation of an external immersion tank and the need for a liquid transfer pump from the reaction tank to the external immersion tank.
 本発明の目的は、上記第1の洗浄方法では、洗浄能力の低下、この対策のための薬液を注入するポンプの高圧化や使用する薬液が多量となる問題点、第2の洗浄方法では、気中に移動させるチェーンブロックなどの昇降機器を必要とし、また、濾過水配管やスクラビングエア用配管等の取り外し等や洗浄終了後の取り付け等の煩雑な作業を必要とするという問題点、第3の洗浄方法では、抜き出した槽内液を一時的に貯留する大容量の槽や移送用ポンプ等の設備を必要とする問題点および第4の洗浄方法では、外付け浸漬槽の設置や移送用ポンプを必要とする問題点を解決し、濾過膜モジュールを反応槽に浸漬したままの状態で濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄するインライン洗浄の簡便さで上記従来のオンエア洗浄と同様の高い洗浄効果を得ることのできる濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法および洗浄装置を提供することにある。 The object of the present invention is to reduce the cleaning ability in the first cleaning method, to increase the pressure of the pump for injecting the chemical solution for this countermeasure, and to increase the amount of the chemical solution to be used. In the second cleaning method, The problem is that it requires lifting equipment such as a chain block to be moved to the air, and requires complicated work such as removal of filtered water piping and scrubbing air piping, etc., and installation after completion of cleaning. In this cleaning method, there are problems that require equipment such as a large-capacity tank for temporarily storing the extracted liquid in the tank and a transfer pump, and the fourth cleaning method is used for installation and transfer of an external immersion tank. Solves the problem of requiring a pump, and achieves the same high cleaning effect as the above-mentioned conventional on-air cleaning with the ease of in-line cleaning that chemically cleans the filtration membrane module while the filtration membrane module is immersed in the reaction vessel And to provide a filtration membrane module cleaning method and cleaning apparatus can.
 本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法は、反応槽に浸漬して配置した濾過膜モジュールの2次側から洗浄用の薬液を注入して、該薬液を濾過膜モジュールの1次側に浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを洗浄する濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法において、上記濾過膜モジュールをモジュールケーシング(洗浄ケーシング)に収容し、モジュールケーシング内にエアとして、空気、酸素ガス、炭酸ガス、窒素ガス等の取り扱い容易な気体(以下、エアと総称する)を供給して、モジュールケーシング内から槽内液を追い出してモジュールケーシング内の濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝した状態で濾過膜モジュールを薬液洗浄する構成にした。 The filtration membrane module cleaning method of the present invention injects a chemical solution for cleaning from the secondary side of the filtration membrane module placed soaked in a reaction tank, and permeates and permeates the chemical solution to the primary side of the filtration membrane module. In the filtration membrane module cleaning method for cleaning the filtration membrane module, the filtration membrane module is accommodated in a module casing (cleaning casing), and air, oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, etc. are easily handled as air in the module casing. Supply gas (hereinafter collectively referred to as air), the liquid in the tank is expelled from the module casing, and the filtration membrane module is subjected to chemical cleaning with the filtration membrane module in the module casing exposed to the air. .
 本発明の濾過膜モジュールの洗浄装置は、反応槽に浸漬して配置した濾過膜モジュールの2次側に洗浄用の薬液を注入する薬液注入装置を備え、該薬液注入装置により濾過膜モジュールの2次側に注入した薬液を濾過膜モジュールの1次側に浸透、透過させて濾過膜モジュールを洗浄する濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置において、上記濾過膜モジュールを収容し、且つ該濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝すエアを貯留可能なモジュールケーシングと、該モジュールケーシング内にエアを供給して上記濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝すためのエア供給装置と、を設けた。 The cleaning device for a filtration membrane module of the present invention includes a chemical solution injection device that injects a chemical solution for cleaning on the secondary side of the filtration membrane module that is immersed in a reaction tank. In a filtration membrane module cleaning apparatus that permeates and permeates a primary side of a filtration membrane module to wash the filtration membrane module, and stores the filtration membrane module in the air. A module casing capable of storing air to be exposed, and an air supply device for supplying air into the module casing to expose the filtration membrane module to the air are provided.
 上記モジュールケーシングを底部が開口し、上部が蓋板で閉塞された有蓋円筒状に形成するとともに、上記蓋板にモジュールケーシングの内外を連通させる液およびエア流出バルブを設けた。上記液およびエア流出バルブに、圧力エア駆動バルブを使用した。 The module casing was formed into a covered cylindrical shape with the bottom opened and the top closed with a lid plate, and a liquid and air outflow valve for communicating the inside and outside of the module casing with the lid plate was provided. A pressure air drive valve was used as the liquid and air outflow valve.
 上記モジュールケーシング内に供給するエア供給装置に散気ブロワまたはスクラビングブロワを使用(兼用)した。 An air blower or a scrubbing blower was used (also used) as an air supply device for supplying the module casing.
 本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法は、濾過膜モジュールを収容したモジュールケーシング内にエアを供給し、モジュールケーシング内をエアで満たすことにより、上記濾過膜モジュールを気中に曝した状態で濾過膜モジュールの2次側に薬液を注入するので、従来の濾過膜モジュールを反応槽に浸漬させたままの状態で薬液を注入する上記従来のインライン洗浄方法に較べて、濾過膜モジュールが液圧を受けないぶん薬液が浸透・透過し易いものになる。濾過膜モジュールの膜表面の細孔から滲出した薬液が槽内液と反応して薬液の効果が低下することもない。また、薬液が槽内液で希釈されることが無いので薬液の希釈による洗浄効果の低下もない。また、本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄方法は、従来のインライン洗浄方法に、濾過膜モジュールをモジュールケーシング内に収容して該モジュールケーシング内にエアを供給するという簡単な工程を付加することにより実施することができる。 The filtration membrane module cleaning method of the present invention supplies the air into the module casing containing the filtration membrane module, and fills the inside of the module casing with air so that the filtration membrane module is exposed to the air. Since the chemical solution is injected into the secondary side of the filter membrane module, the filtration membrane module is not subjected to fluid pressure compared to the conventional in-line cleaning method in which the chemical solution is injected while the conventional filtration membrane module is immersed in the reaction vessel. Perhaps the chemical solution is easy to penetrate and permeate. The chemical liquid that has exuded from the pores on the membrane surface of the filtration membrane module does not react with the liquid in the tank and the effect of the chemical liquid does not decrease. Further, since the chemical solution is not diluted with the solution in the tank, the cleaning effect is not reduced by the dilution of the chemical solution. The filtration membrane module cleaning method of the present invention is implemented by adding a simple process of storing the filtration membrane module in the module casing and supplying air into the module casing to the conventional in-line cleaning method. be able to.
 本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置は、従来のインライン洗浄装置の濾過膜モジュールをモジュールケーシング内に収容して該モジュールケーシング内にエア供給装置でエアを供給にするという従来のインライン洗浄装置に簡単な改良を加えることにより実施することができる。そして、モジュールケーシング内にエア供給装置によりエアを供給することにより、モジュールケーシング内はエアで満たされ濾過膜モジュールは気中に曝された状態になるので、この状態で薬液注入装置により薬液を濾過膜モジュールの2次側に注入して濾過膜モジュールをオンエア洗浄することが可能になる。 The filtration membrane module cleaning device of the present invention is simple to the conventional inline cleaning device in which the filtration membrane module of the conventional inline cleaning device is accommodated in the module casing and air is supplied to the module casing by the air supply device. It can be implemented by making improvements. Then, by supplying air into the module casing with the air supply device, the inside of the module casing is filled with air and the filtration membrane module is exposed to the air. In this state, the chemical solution is filtered by the chemical solution injector. The filtration membrane module can be washed on-air by being injected into the secondary side of the membrane module.
 特に、モジュールケーシングを、底部が開口し、上部に蓋板で閉塞された有蓋円筒状に形成したので、上記開口からエア供給装置により、モジュールケーシング内にエアを供給することができる。上記モジュールケーシングの蓋板に液およびエア流出バルブを設けたので、該液およびエア流出バルブを開閉して、モジュールケーシング内にエアを貯留、或いは排出することができる。従って、従来のインライン洗浄装置の操作系に上記液およびエア流出バルブを開閉する操作を追加するという簡単な改良で、本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置の操作系を形成することができる。 Particularly, since the module casing is formed in a covered cylindrical shape having an opening at the bottom and closed at the top by a lid plate, air can be supplied into the module casing from the opening by an air supply device. Since the liquid and air outflow valves are provided on the cover plate of the module casing, the liquid and air outflow valves can be opened and closed to store or discharge air in the module casing. Therefore, the operation system of the filtration membrane module cleaning device of the present invention can be formed by a simple improvement of adding the operation of opening and closing the liquid and air outflow valves to the operation system of the conventional in-line cleaning device.
 また、上記モジュールケーシング内に供給するエア供給装置に、散気ブロワやスクラビングブロワを使用(兼用)することによりエア供給装置として専用のエアコンプレッサー等を設ける必要が無くなり、その分、洗浄装置のコストを下げることが出来る。 In addition, the use of an air blower or scrubbing blower for the air supply device that is supplied into the module casing eliminates the need for a dedicated air compressor as an air supply device. Can be lowered.

 モジュールケーシング27の底部は開口しているとともに、上部は蓋板で閉塞されている。そして、薬液洗浄の際に液およびエア流出バルブ33を閉じ、上記開口からエア供給装置28でエアを供給すると、該エアは、モジュールケーシング27内の活性汚泥(被濾過水)を排除しながらモジュールケーシング27内に溜まっていって、モジュールケーシング27内に収容されている濾過膜モジュール11の周囲をエアで覆う。 The bottom of the module casing 27 is open and the top is closed with a lid plate. When the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is closed during chemical cleaning and air is supplied from the opening through the air supply device 28, the air removes the activated sludge (water to be filtered) in the module casing 27 and the module. The perimeter of the filtration membrane module 11 that is accumulated in the casing 27 and accommodated in the module casing 27 is covered with air.
 一方、液およびエア流出バルブ33は、これを開くことにより、モジュールケーシング27内からエアを排出してモジュールケーシング27内に活性汚泥を侵入可能にするとともに、モジュールケーシング27内に活性汚泥が満たされた後は、モジュールケーシング27の内部と外部の間の活性汚泥の循環性を確保する。液およびエア流出バルブ33には圧力エア駆動バルブを使用するのが望ましい。液およびエア流出バルブ33は1個に限らず複数個設けることによりモジュールケーシング27内のエアの排出の迅速性と、モジュールケーシング27の内部と外部の活性汚泥の循環性を向上させることができる。 On the other hand, the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is opened to discharge air from the module casing 27 so that the activated sludge can enter the module casing 27 and the module casing 27 is filled with the activated sludge. After that, the circulation property of the activated sludge between the inside and outside of the module casing 27 is ensured. It is desirable to use a pressure air drive valve for the liquid and air outflow valve 33. By providing a plurality of liquid and air outflow valves 33 instead of only one, it is possible to improve the speed of discharging the air inside the module casing 27 and the circulation of activated sludge inside and outside the module casing 27.
 液およびエア流出バルブ33を設ける位置は必ずしもモジュールケーシング27の上部の蓋板でなくてもよいが、モジュールケーシング27内に溜まったエアに濾過膜モジュール11が露出しない状態まで排出することのできる位置がよい。 The position at which the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is provided is not necessarily the upper cover plate of the module casing 27, but can be discharged to a state where the filtration membrane module 11 is not exposed to the air accumulated in the module casing 27. Is good.
 次に、上記濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置の作用を説明する。濾過時においては、薬液注入装置26の第5のバルブ32を閉じ、液およびエア流出バルブ33を開くとともに、濾過配管12に設けた第1,第2のバルブ19,20を開いて、濾過/逆洗ポンプ18を駆動させると、反応槽7の被濾過水は、濾過膜モジュール11で濾過され濾過水となって濾過水タンク13に送水され、一時的に貯留される。 Next, the operation of the filtration membrane module cleaning device will be described. At the time of filtration, the fifth valve 32 of the chemical liquid injector 26 is closed, the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is opened, and the first and second valves 19 and 20 provided in the filtration pipe 12 are opened to perform filtration / When the backwash pump 18 is driven, the water to be filtered in the reaction tank 7 is filtered by the membrane filter module 11 to become filtered water, sent to the filtered water tank 13 and temporarily stored.
 濾過膜モジュール11をオンエア洗浄する場合には、散気ブロワ15を停止し、さらに濾過/逆洗ポンプ18を停止し、第1,第2のバルブ19,20を閉じるとともに、液およびエア流出バルブ33を閉じる。そして、スクラビングブロワ16を駆動すると、該スクラビングブロワ16から送り出されたエアは、スクラビング用散気器17を介してモジュールケーシング27の底部に設けた開口からモジュールケーシング27内に侵入して、モジュールケーシング27内の活性汚泥を排除しながら、モジュールケーシング27内に溜まっていく。 When the filtration membrane module 11 is washed on-air, the diffuser blower 15 is stopped, the filtration / backwash pump 18 is stopped, the first and second valves 19 and 20 are closed, and the liquid and air outflow valves are closed. 33 is closed. When the scrubbing blower 16 is driven, the air sent out from the scrubbing blower 16 enters the module casing 27 through an opening provided at the bottom of the module casing 27 via the scrubbing air diffuser 17, and enters the module casing 27. While removing the activated sludge in 27, it accumulates in the module casing 27.
 モジュールケーシング27内がエアで満たされ、該モジュールケーシング27内に収容されている濾過膜モジュール11の周囲がエアで覆われた状態になったら、スクラビングブロワ16を停止してエアの供給を停止する。 When the inside of the module casing 27 is filled with air and the periphery of the filtration membrane module 11 accommodated in the module casing 27 is covered with air, the scrubbing blower 16 is stopped and the supply of air is stopped. .
 スクラビングブロワ16の停止時間が遅れると供給されたエアは、所謂オーバーフロー状態になってモジュールケーシング27の底部からモジュールケーシング27の外部に漏れ出すが、多少漏れ出したとしても、処理性能や他の運転に対する影響はないので、スクラビングブロワ16によるエア供給の停止のタイミングは、厳密に制御しなくても簡易なタイマの設定で十分である。 If the stop time of the scrubbing blower 16 is delayed, the supplied air enters a so-called overflow state and leaks from the bottom of the module casing 27 to the outside of the module casing 27. Therefore, a simple timer setting is sufficient for the timing of stopping the air supply by the scrubbing blower 16 without strictly controlling.
 そして、モジュールケーシング27内をエアで満たし、濾過膜モジュール11をエアに曝した状態にしたら、第5のバルブ32を開き、薬液供給ポンプ30を駆動し、薬液タンク29の薬液を、所定量、所定時間を掛けて、濾過膜モジュール11に注入して、薬液による濾過膜モジュール11の洗浄を行う。 Then, when the inside of the module casing 27 is filled with air and the filtration membrane module 11 is exposed to air, the fifth valve 32 is opened, the chemical solution supply pump 30 is driven, and the chemical solution in the chemical solution tank 29 is added to a predetermined amount, Over a predetermined time, it is injected into the filtration membrane module 11, and the filtration membrane module 11 is washed with a chemical solution.
 薬液による洗浄を終了したら、薬液供給ポンプ30を停止し、第5のバルブ32を閉じるとともに、第1,第2のバルブ19,20を閉じたまま、第3,第4のバルブ22,24を開き、濾過/逆洗ポンプ18を再び駆動して、濾過水タンク13の濾過水を第2の濾過水逆流路23及び第1の濾過水逆流路21を介して濾過膜モジュール11に供給し、濾過膜モジュール11を濾過水で洗浄することにより、濾過膜モジュール11の膜面等に残った薬液を洗い流して濾過膜モジュール11の洗浄を終了する。薬液の洗い流し工程は、モジュールケーシング27内の活性汚泥を満たした後に行なってもよい。 When the cleaning with the chemical liquid is completed, the chemical liquid supply pump 30 is stopped, the fifth valve 32 is closed, and the third and fourth valves 22 and 24 are closed while the first and second valves 19 and 20 are closed. Open and drive the filtration / backwash pump 18 again to supply the filtrate water in the filtrate tank 13 to the filtration membrane module 11 via the second filtrate reverse flow path 23 and the first filtrate reverse flow path 21; By washing the filtration membrane module 11 with filtered water, the chemical solution remaining on the membrane surface of the filtration membrane module 11 is washed away, and the washing of the filtration membrane module 11 is completed. The washing step of the chemical solution may be performed after the activated sludge in the module casing 27 is filled.
 濾過膜モジュール11の洗浄を終了したら、液およびエア流出バルブ33を開ける。液およびエア流出バルブ33を開けると、モジュールケーシング27内のエアは、液およびエア流出バルブ33を通って、モジュールケーシング27外に排出されるとともに、モジュールケーシング27内には活性汚泥が侵入し、モジュールケーシング27内は活性汚泥で満たされた状態になる。そこで、再度、第1,第2のバルブ19,20を開いて、散気ブロワ15、濾過/逆洗ポンプ18、スクラビングブロワ17等を駆動して濾過を再開する。濾過運転に戻るタイミングもタイマ設定で十分である。 When the filtration membrane module 11 has been cleaned, the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is opened. When the liquid and air outflow valve 33 is opened, the air in the module casing 27 passes through the liquid and air outflow valve 33 and is discharged out of the module casing 27, and activated sludge enters the module casing 27, The module casing 27 is filled with activated sludge. Therefore, the first and second valves 19 and 20 are opened again, and the aeration blower 15, the filtration / backwash pump 18, the scrubbing blower 17 and the like are driven to resume the filtration. A timer setting is sufficient for returning to the filtration operation.
 実施例の濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置は、上述のような構成であって次に述べるような効果がある。
(1)濾過膜モジュールをモジュールケーシング内に収容してエアを供給するという簡単な方法で、濾過膜モジュールを反応槽に浸漬したままの状態でオンエア洗浄を行なうことが可能になり、従来の反応槽から活性汚泥を排出し、或いは反応槽から濾過膜モジュールを抜き出してオンエア洗浄を行なう方法に較べて、濾過膜モジュールのオンエア洗浄を容易に行なうことができる。
(2)濾過膜モジュールを気中に抜き出すことなく、濾過膜モジュールを個別にオンエア洗浄することができる。従来の反応槽から活性汚泥を排出してオンエア洗浄を行なう場合で、且つ反応槽に複数の濾過膜モジュールが設置されている場合には、設置されている全ての濾過膜モジュールの使用が出来なくなり、全体の処理能力が大きく低下するが、本発明の場合は、個別に(モジュールケーシング毎に)濾過膜モジュールのオンエア洗浄することができるので、洗浄している濾過膜モジュールを除いた他の濾過膜モジュールの使用が可能であり、安定した濾過処理量を確保することができる。
(3)濾過膜モジュールを反応槽に浸漬したままの状態で薬液洗浄できるので、濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置を容易に下水処理システムの自動運転に組み込むことができる。従って、薬液洗浄頻度を多く設定でき、濾過膜モジュールの目詰まりを抑制し、安定した処理能力を確保することができる。
(4)本発明の濾過膜モジュール洗浄装置において、特別に付加する部品は、濾過膜モジュールを収容するモジュールケーシング、該モジュールケーシングに取り付けられる液およびエア流出バルブ、バルブ用エア源程度であり、比較的安価に製造することができる。特に、モジュールケーシングにエアを供給するエア供給装置にスクラビングブロワを使用すれば、その分、部品点数を少なくしてコストを低減することができる。従って、従来のオンエア洗浄装置に較べて、はるかに安価に製作することができ、また、使用するエネルギーも少なくてすむ。
The filtration membrane module cleaning device of the embodiment has the above-described configuration and has the following effects.
(1) With a simple method of storing the filtration membrane module in the module casing and supplying air, it becomes possible to perform on-air cleaning while the filtration membrane module is immersed in the reaction tank. Compared with the method of discharging activated sludge from the tank or extracting the filtration membrane module from the reaction tank and performing on-air cleaning, the on-air cleaning of the filtration membrane module can be performed easily.
(2) The filtration membrane module can be individually washed on-air without removing the filtration membrane module in the air. When activated sludge is discharged from a conventional reaction tank and on-air cleaning is performed, and when multiple filtration membrane modules are installed in the reaction tank, all the installed filtration membrane modules cannot be used. In the case of the present invention, the filtration membrane module can be individually washed on-air (for each module casing), so other filtration membranes except for the membrane membrane being washed are removed. A membrane module can be used, and a stable amount of filtration can be ensured.
(3) Since the chemical membrane cleaning can be performed while the filtration membrane module is immersed in the reaction vessel, the filtration membrane module cleaning device can be easily incorporated into the automatic operation of the sewage treatment system. Accordingly, the chemical cleaning frequency can be set high, clogging of the filtration membrane module can be suppressed, and stable processing capability can be ensured.
(4) In the filtration membrane module cleaning device of the present invention, the specially added parts are a module casing for housing the filtration membrane module, a liquid and air outflow valve attached to the module casing, and an air source for valves. Can be manufactured inexpensively. In particular, if a scrubbing blower is used in an air supply device that supplies air to the module casing, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced accordingly. Therefore, it can be manufactured at a much lower cost than a conventional on-air cleaning apparatus, and uses less energy.

When air is supplied from the branch path, the supply of air to the scrubbing air diffuser 17 is stopped by the switching valve. A check valve (not shown) is provided at the tip of the branch path. The position where the tip of the branch path is connected to the module casing 27 does not matter. In addition, air may be supplied into the module casing 27 by using the diffuser blower 15 instead of the scrubbing blower 16.

Moreover, although the case where the module casing 27 was formed in the covered cylinder shape was shown in the Example, the shape of the module casing 27 is not limited to a covered cylinder shape, It is made to respond | correspond to the shape of the filtration membrane module 11, etc. Thus, it is formed into an appropriate shape. In the embodiment, the single filtration / backwash pump 18 performs both backwashing and filtration, but the filtration and backwashing may be performed by separate pumps.
