Description

여과장치 및 그것을 위한 산기부Filter unit and diffuser for it
본 발명은 여과장치 및 그것을 위한 산기부에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 구체적으로는, 여과막 모듈의 균일한 산기세정을 담보할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 산기관 내부에 이물질이 침전됨으로 인해 야기되는 산기효율의 저하 및 그로 인한 여과 효율의 저하를 최소화할 수 있는 여과장치 및 그것을 위한 산기부에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a filtration device and an acid unit therefor, and more particularly, not only to ensure uniform acid cleaning of the filtration membrane module, but also to reduce the acid efficiency caused by the deposition of foreign matters inside the acid pipe. The present invention relates to a filtration device capable of minimizing a decrease in filtration efficiency and an acid base therefor.
유체로부터 오염물질을 제거하여 정수하는 수처리 방법으로는 가열이나 상변화를 이용하는 방법과 여과막을 이용하는 방법이 있다.Water treatment methods for removing contaminants from fluids and purifying them include heating or phase change and filtering membranes.
여과막의 세공 크기에 따라 원하는 수질이 안정적으로 얻어질 수 있으므로, 여과막을 이용하는 방법이 가열이나 상변화를 이용하는 방법에 비해 공정의 신뢰도가 높다는 장점이 있다. 또한, 여과막을 이용할 경우 가열 등의 조작이 필요 없기 때문에, 미생물을 이용하는 분리 공정에서 미생물이 열에 의해 영향을 받는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Since the desired water quality can be stably obtained according to the pore size of the filtration membrane, the method of using the filtration membrane has an advantage that the process reliability is higher than that of the method using heating or phase change. In addition, since the use of a filtration membrane does not require an operation such as heating, it is possible to prevent the microorganism from being affected by heat in the separation step using the microorganism.
여과막을 이용한 분리 방법 중 하나로는 중공사막을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 전통적으로 중공사막은 무균수, 음용수, 초순수 제조 등 정밀 여과 분야에 널리 사용되어 왔으나, 최근에는 하/폐수처리, 정화조에서의 고액 분리, 산업폐수에서의 부유 물질(SS : Suspended Solid) 제거, 하천수의 여과, 공업용수의 여과, 및 수영장 물의 여과 등으로 그 응용 범위가 확대되고 있다.One of the separation methods using a filtration membrane is a method using a hollow fiber membrane. Traditionally, hollow fiber membranes have been widely used in the field of precision filtration such as sterile water, drinking water, ultrapure water production, but recently, sewage / wastewater treatment, solid-liquid separation in septic tanks, removal of suspended solids (SS) from industrial wastewater, and river water Filtration, filtration of industrial water, filtration of swimming pool water, and the like have expanded their application ranges.
여과막 모듈에 의한 수처리가 진행됨에 따라 오염 물질에 의한 여과막 오염 현상이 야기되어 여과막의 투과 성능이 크게 떨어지는 문제점이 발생한다. 다양한 형태의 여과막 오염 물질은 서로 다른 방식으로 막 오염을 유발하기 때문에 오염된 여과막을 세정하는 방법 역시 다양한 방식이 요구된다. 오염된 여과막의 세정은 그 세정 목적에 따라 유지 세정(maintenance cleaning)과 회복 세정(recovery cleaning)으로 분류될 수 있다.As the water treatment by the filtration membrane module proceeds, a fouling phenomenon of the filtration membrane is caused by contaminants, which causes a problem that the permeation performance of the filtration membrane is greatly decreased. Since various types of filtration membrane contaminants cause membrane contamination in different ways, various methods of cleaning contaminated filtration membranes are also required. Cleaning of contaminated filtration membranes can be classified into maintenance cleaning and recovery cleaning according to the cleaning purpose.
회복 세정은, 장시간 수처리를 진행함에 따라 막 오염이 누적되어 여과막 모듈의 막 투과 성능이 심각하게 저하된 경우에 가동을 중지시킨 상태에서 비교적 장시간 행하여 지는 세정으로서 여과막의 투과 성능을 회복하는데 주요 목적이 있다. Recovery cleaning is a cleaning that is performed for a long time in the state of stopping the operation when the membrane permeation is accumulated and the membrane permeation performance of the filter membrane module is seriously degraded as the water treatment proceeds for a long time, and the main purpose is to restore the permeation performance of the filter membrane. have.
반면, 유지 세정은 여과막 모듈에 의한 수처리가 진행되는 동안 또는 수처리를 잠시 중지한 상태에서 행하여 지는 세정으로서 여과막의 투과 성능을 양호한 상태로 유지하는데 주요 목적이 있다. 이러한 유지 세정은 주로 물리적 세정에 의해 수행된다. 물리적 세정은 백워싱(backwashing)과 산기(aeration) 방식으로 분류될 수 있다. On the other hand, the maintenance cleaning is a cleaning performed while the water treatment by the filtration membrane module is in progress or while the water treatment is temporarily stopped. The main purpose is to maintain the permeation performance of the filtration membrane in a good state. This maintenance cleaning is mainly performed by physical cleaning. Physical cleaning can be categorized into backwashing and aeration schemes.
백워싱 방식은 수처리를 잠시 중지시킨 상태에서 공기 또는 물을 여과막을 통해 역류시킴으로써 막 표면에 붙어 있는 이물질을 제거하는 세정 방식이다. The backwashing method is a cleaning method that removes foreign matter adhering to the membrane surface by flowing air or water through the filter membrane while the water treatment is temporarily stopped.
반면, 산기 방식은 수처리 작업이 진행되는 동안에 산기관으로부터 공기를 분출시켜 공기 방울이 솟아오르도록 하는 세정 방식이다. 산기 방식에 의하면, 공기 방울 자체에 의해 여과막 표면에 붙어 있는 이물질이 제거될 뿐만 아니라 상기 공기 방울의 상승에 의해 야기되는 물(수처리 탱크 또는 하우징 내에 담겨 있는)의 상승 또는 순환에 의해 여과막 표면 상의 이물질이 제거된다.On the other hand, the diffuser method is a cleaning method that ejects air from the diffuser during the water treatment operation so that the air bubbles rise. According to the diffuser method, not only the foreign matter adhering to the surface of the filtration membrane is removed by the air bubble itself but also the foreign matter on the surface of the filtration membrane by the rising or circulating water (in the water treatment tank or the housing) caused by the rising of the air bubble. Is removed.
종래의 여과장치는, 도 1에 예시된 바와 같이, 처리되어야 할 원수에 침지되어 수처리를 수행하는 다수의 여과막 모듈들(20) 및 상기 원수 내의 상기 여과막 모듈들(20)의 아래에 배치되는 산기장치(10)를 포함한다.The conventional filtration apparatus, as illustrated in FIG. 1, has a plurality of filtration membrane modules 20 which are immersed in raw water to be treated to perform water treatment, and an air diffuser disposed below the filtration membrane modules 20 in the raw water. Device 10.
상기 산기장치(10)는, 다수의 산기관들(12) 및 상기 산기관들(12)에 공기를 공급하는 적어도 하나의 공통 배관(11)을 포함한다.The diffuser 10 includes a plurality of diffusers 12 and at least one common pipe 11 for supplying air to the diffusers 12.
상기 산기관(12)에는 다수의 산기홀들이 형성되어 있다. 예를 들어, 도 2에 예시된 바와 같이 산기관(12)의 상부면에 산기홀들(H)이 형성되어 있거나, 또는, 도 3에 예시된 바와 같이 산기관(12)의 양 측면들에 산기홀들(H1, H2)이 형성되어 있다.The diffuser 12 is formed with a plurality of diffuser holes. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the air holes H are formed in the upper surface of the diffuser 12, or as shown in FIG. 3, on both sides of the diffuser 12. The diffuser holes H1 and H2 are formed.
여과막 모듈들(20)과 함께 원수 내에 침지된 상태에서 산기관(12)이 상기 산기홀들(H, H1, H2)을 통해 공기를 분출하다가 에너지 절감을 위하여 일시적으로 산기세정이 중지될 때, 상기 산기홀들(H, H1, H2)을 통해 원수가 산기관(12)의 중공으로 유입된다. 원수에는 다양한 이물질들이 포함되어 있는데, 이러한 이물질들이 산기관(12)의 내벽에 침전된 후 굳어져 산기관(12)의 막힘 현상을 초래한다.When the diffuser 12 blows air through the diffuser holes H, H1 and H2 while being immersed in the raw water together with the filtration membrane modules 20, the diffuser is temporarily stopped for energy saving. Raw water flows into the hollow of the diffuser 12 through the diffuser holes H, H1 and H2. The raw water contains various foreign matters, which are settled on the inner wall of the diffuser 12 and then harden to cause clogging of the diffuser 12.
산기관(12)이 막히게 되면, 산기효율이 저하될 뿐만 아니라 그로 인해 여과막 자체의 여과 효율이 저하된다. 따라서, 상대적으로 짧은 주기마다 산기관(12)이 교체될 필요가 있었는데, 이것은 여과장치의 유지 및 보수에 소요되는 비용을 상승시켰다. 또한, 산기관(12)의 교체는 수처리 작업의 중지를 요구하기 때문에 전체적인 수처리 작업의 효율이 저하되는 문제점이 있다.If the diffuser 12 is clogged, not only the acid efficiency is lowered, but also the filtration efficiency of the filtration membrane itself is lowered. Therefore, the diffuser 12 needed to be replaced every relatively short period, which increased the cost of maintaining and repairing the filtration device. In addition, since the replacement of the diffuser 12 requires stopping the water treatment operation, there is a problem in that the efficiency of the overall water treatment operation is lowered.
한편, 미국특허 US7,922,910 및 일본 공개특허공보 2003-154236은 개방된 하부 및 산기홀들이 형성된 양 측면들을 갖는 산기부(aerator)를 각각 개시하고 있다. 그러나, 상기 산기부의 산기홀들도 다양한 이물질을 포함하는 원수에 직접적으로 노출될 수밖에 없기 때문에 상기 이물질에 의한 산기홀 막힘 현상이 초래될 수밖에 없다. 또한, 상기 산기부들의 경우 그 하부가 개방되어 있기 때문에 산기세정을 위한 공기가 산기부의 전체 내부 공간에 균일하게 분배될 수 없고, 그 결과, 여과막 모듈들로 공기가 균일하게 제공될 수 없어 여과막 모듈의 균일한 세정이 불가능하다.Meanwhile, US Pat. No. 7,922,910 and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-154236 disclose an aerator having both sides having an open lower portion and an acid hole. However, since the acid holes in the acidic portion may also be directly exposed to raw water containing various foreign substances, clogging of the acid holes may be caused by the foreign substances. In addition, in the case of the acidic portions, since the lower part is open, air for acidic cleaning cannot be uniformly distributed in the entire internal space of the acidic portion, and as a result, the air cannot be uniformly provided to the filtration membrane modules, so that the filtration membrane Uniform cleaning of the module is not possible.

It is thereby to provide a filtration device that can minimize the decrease in the acid efficiency and the resulting decrease in filtration efficiency caused by the deposition of foreign matter inside the diffuser.

본 명세서에서 사용되는 용어 "여과막"은 중공사막과 평막을 모두 포함하는 개념이다.The term "filtration membrane" as used herein is a concept that includes both hollow fiber membranes and flat membranes.
도 4는 본 발명의 여과장치를 개략적으로 보여주는 사시도이다.4 is a perspective view schematically showing the filtration device of the present invention.
도 4에 예시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 여과장치는 처리되어야 할 원수에 침지되어 수처리를 수행하는 다수의 여과막 모듈들(20) 및 상기 원수 내의 상기 여과막 모듈들(2)의 아래에 배치되는 산기장치(100)를 포함한다.As illustrated in FIG. 4, the filtration device of the present invention is a plurality of filtration membrane modules 20 which are immersed in raw water to be treated to perform water treatment, and an diffuser disposed below the filtration membrane modules 2 in the raw water.

In this case, the other ends of the diffusers 120 are blocked.
이하에서는, 도 5 내지 도 7을 참조하여 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 산기부(120)를 더욱 구체적으로 설명한다. 도 5는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 산기부(120)의 상부 사시도이고, 도 6 및 도 7은 도 5의 I-I' 라인을 따른 산기부(120)의 단면도들이다.Hereinafter, the diffuser 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. 5 is a top perspective view of the diffuser 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are cross-sectional views of the diffuser 120 along the line II ′ of FIG. 5.
본 발명의 산기부들(120) 각각은, 개방된 바닥부(open bottom portion)를 갖는 하우징(121) 및 상기 하우징(121)의 상부(top portion)에 결합되어 있는 산기관(122)을 포함한다. Each of the diffusers 120 of the present invention includes a housing 121 having an open bottom portion and an diffuser 122 coupled to a top portion of the housing 121. do.
하우징(121)의 바닥부는 여과막 모듈들(20)의 반대 측에 위치하는 하우징(121)의 일부를 의미하고, 하우징(121)의 상부는 상기 바닥부의 반대 측에 위치하는 하우징(121)의 일부를 의미한다. 상기 하우징(121)은 한 쌍의 측벽들(side walls), 전방벽(front wall), 및 후방벽(rear wall)을 더 포함한다.The bottom of the housing 121 means a part of the housing 121 located on the opposite side of the filtration membrane modules 20, and the top of the housing 121 is a part of the housing 121 located on the opposite side of the bottom. Means. The housing 121 further includes a pair of side walls, a front wall, and a rear wall.
상기 한 쌍의 측벽들은 상기 하우징(121)의 길이 방향을 따라 연장되어 있다. 상기 전방벽 및 후방벽은 상기 산기관(122)의 일단 및 타단 부근에서 상기 하우징(121)의 상부 및 측벽들과 각각 결합되어 있다.The pair of side walls extend along the longitudinal direction of the housing 121. The front wall and the rear wall are coupled to the top and side walls of the housing 121 at one end and the other end of the diffuser 122, respectively.
전술한 바와 같이, 산기관(122)이 하우징(121)의 상부에 결합되어 있다. 예를 들어, 상기 하우징(121)의 상부에 상기 산기관(122)에 대응하는 홈을 형성하고 상기 홈에 상기 산기관(122)을 끼운 후 용접 등의 방법을 수행함으로써 상기 하우징(121)과 상기 산기관(122)을 일체로 결합시킬 수 있다.As described above, the diffuser 122 is coupled to the upper portion of the housing 121. For example, by forming a groove corresponding to the diffuser 122 in the upper portion of the housing 121, inserting the diffuser 122 in the groove and performing a welding or the like method and the housing 121 and The diffuser 122 may be integrally coupled.
상기 산기관(122)의 일부, 상기 하우징(121)의 상부, 한 쌍의 측벽들, 전방벽, 및 후방벽에 의해 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간(inner space)이 형성된다.An inner space of the housing 121 is formed by a portion of the diffuser 122, an upper portion of the housing 121, a pair of sidewalls, a front wall, and a rear wall.
상기 산기관(122)은 그 하부에 다수의 산기홀들(H)을 갖고, 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간과 상기 산기관(122)의 중공(lumen)이 상기 산기홀들(H)을 통해 유체 연통한다. The diffuser 122 has a plurality of diffuser holes H at a lower portion thereof, and an inner space of the housing 121 and a lumen of the diffuser 122 may allow the diffuser holes H to be provided. Fluid communication through.
본 발명의 산기부(120)에 의하면, 산기세정 중에 산기홀(H)을 통해 공급되는 공기에 의해 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간에 공기층이 형성되고, 상기 내부 공간 전체가 공기로 채워진 직후에는 공기가 상기 내부 공간을 벗어나 원수 내에서 위로 상승하면서 여과막을 세정한다. According to the air diffuser 120 of the present invention, an air layer is formed in the internal space of the housing 121 by air supplied through the air diffuser hole H during the air freshener cleaning, and immediately after the entire internal space is filled with air. The air rises out of the internal space and rises up in the raw water to clean the filtration membrane.
에너지 절감을 위하여 산기세정이 일시적으로 중지되면, 원수가 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간에 어느 정도 유입된다. 원수의 유입으로 인해 그 부피가 다소 줄어들기는 하지만, 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간에 공기층이 여전히 존재하기 때문에 원수가 산기홀(H)을 통해 산기관(122) 내로 유입되는 것이 방지될 수 있다.When the air purifier is temporarily stopped for energy saving, raw water flows into the inner space of the housing 121 to some extent. Although the volume is slightly reduced due to the inflow of raw water, since the air layer still exists in the inner space of the housing 121, the raw water may be prevented from entering the diffuser hole H through the diffuser hole H. .
본 발명의 일 실시예에 의하면, 도 5에 예시된 바와 같이, 상기 하우징(121)의 측벽들은 그 하부에 다수의 홈들(grooves)(G)을 가질 수 있다. According to an embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the sidewalls of the housing 121 may have a plurality of grooves G at the bottom thereof.
도 6을 참조하면, 산기세정 중에 산기홀(H)을 통해 공급되는 공기에 의해 상기 하우징(121)의 내부 공간에 공기층이 형성된다. 상기 공기층의 부피가 증가하다가 상기 홈들(G)에 도달하는 순간, 상기 홈들(G)을 통해 공기가 상기 내부 공간으로부터 빠져나가 여과막 모듈 측으로 상승하게 된다. Referring to FIG. 6, an air layer is formed in the inner space of the housing 121 by air supplied through the air diffuser hole H during the air freshener cleaning. As the volume of the air layer increases and reaches the grooves G, air escapes from the inner space through the grooves G and rises toward the filtration membrane module.
