図1は、第1実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。本実施形態によるろ過装置は、被処理液を定流量でろ過するろ過装置である。本実施形態によるろ過装置は、第1膜ろ過ユニット100と、第2膜ろ過ユニット200とを備えている。第1膜ろ過ユニット100および第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、直列に連続しており、第1膜ろ過ユニット100の直後に第2膜ろ過ユニット200が設けられている。第1膜ろ過ユニット100からの第1透過液は、第2膜ろ過ユニット200の第2貯留槽201で受けるように構成される。尚、複数の膜ろ過ユニットが直列し、あるいは、連続するとは、或る膜ろ過ユニットでろ過された透過液を、後続の膜ろ過ユニットが受けてさらにその透過液をろ過することを意味する。
第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、第1貯留槽101と、第1送液ポンプ103と、第1分離膜部104と、第1流量計105と、非透過液バルブ107と、第1調整バルブ108と、第1取出しバルブ111と、洗浄液槽112と、洗浄ポンプ113と、第1液量計114と、第1制御部115と、被処理液管L1と、第1送液管L10と、第1非透過液管L11と、第1透過液管L12と、第1取出し管L13と、洗浄管L115とを備えている。尚、第1取出しバルブ111は、洗浄液の排出バルブとしての機能も兼ね備え、第1取出し管L13は、洗浄液の排出管としての機能も兼ね備えている。
第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、第2貯留槽201と、第2送液ポンプ203と、第2分離膜部204と、第2流量計205と、第2調整バルブ208と、第2取出しバルブ221と、流量計222と、返送バルブ206、223と、第2液量計214と、第2制御部215と、第2送液管L20と、第2非透過液管L21と、第2透過液管L22と、取出し・返送管L23と、第2取出し管L24と、非透過液返送管L25と、透過液返送管L26とを備えている。
被処理液が被処理液管L1から第1貯留槽101に供給され、第1貯留槽101内に貯留液S1として貯留される。貯留液S1は、第1送液ポンプ103で第1分離膜部104へ送られ、第1分離膜部104において第1透過液と第1非透過液とに分離される。第1透過液は、第1透過液管L12を介して略定流量で第2貯留槽201へ送られる。第1非透過液は、第1貯留槽101に貯留液S1として戻される。即ち、貯留液S1は、第1貯留槽101と第1分離膜部104との間で循環され、その有機物濃度は第1貯留槽101および第1送液管L10, 第1非透過液管L11内において濃縮される。第1送液管L10内の貯留液S1の一部は、第1取出し管L13および第1取出しバルブ111から取り出される。残りの貯留液S1は、第1分離膜部104へ送られる。
図2は、第1実施形態の変形例1に従ったろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。変形例1によれば、第2非透過液管L21が第2貯留槽201に接続されており、第2分離膜部204からの第2非透過液は第2貯留槽201へ戻される。第2貯留槽201内の貯留液S2は、第2貯留槽201と第2分離膜部204との間で循環する。この場合、貯留液S2は、第2貯留槽201内において濃縮され、濃縮液として第2取出し管L24から略定流量で取り出され得る。変形例1のその他の構成および動作は、上記第1実施形態の対応する構成および動作と同様でよい。従って、変形例1は、上記第1実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。
図3は、第1実施形態の変形例2に従ったろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。変形例2によれば、第1膜ろ過ユニット100の第1非透過液管L11が第1貯留槽101と第1送液ポンプ103との間の第1送液管L10に接続されており、第1分離膜部104からの第1非透過液を第1送液管L10へ戻すように配管されている。この場合、第1貯留槽101内の貯留液S1は、第1送液管L10と第1分離膜部104との間で循環する。貯留液S1は、第1送液管L10内において濃縮され、濃縮液として第1取出し管L13から略定流量で取り出され得る。変形例2のその他の構成および動作は、上記第1実施形態の対応する構成および動作と同様でよい。従って、変形例2は、上記第1実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。
図4は、第1実施形態の変形例3に従ったろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。変形例3による第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、第1開閉バルブ109をさらに備えている。第1開閉バルブ109は、第1調整バルブ108と第2貯留槽201との間の第1透過液管L12に設けられている。第1開閉バルブ109は、第1制御部115によって制御され開閉動作する。即ち、第1貯留槽101内の貯留液S1の液面が下限レベルLL1よりも低くなった場合、あるいは、第2貯留槽201内の貯留液S2の液面が上限レベルUL2よりも高くなった場合に、第1開閉バルブ109は閉じ、第1透過液管L12から第2膜ろ過ユニットへの第1透過液の流れを止める。これにより、第1送液管L10からの貯留液S1は、全て非透過液として第1貯留槽101へ戻され、第1貯留槽101と第1分離膜部104との間で循環される。その結果、第1分離膜部104の目詰まりを抑制し、第1分離膜部104をより長時間安定して用いることができる。特に、濁質が多い被処理液の場合や逆洗浄を必要とする分離膜の場合に好ましく適用できる。また、貯留液S1を循環させることによって、第1貯留槽101内の貯留液S1の液面を上昇させ、あるいは、第2貯留槽201内の貯留液S2の液面を低下させることができる。
上記変形例1~3において、第1制御部115は、第1透過液の流れを止めるために、第1調整バルブ108あるいは第1開閉バルブ109を閉じている。また、第2制御部215は、第2透過液の流れを止めるために、第2調整バルブ208あるいは第2開閉バルブ209を閉じている。
変形例5では、第1または第2取出し管L13、L24から取り出す非透過液の量を制御することによって、第1または第2貯留槽101、201内の液量を調節する。
変形例6では、第1または第2貯留槽101、201から排出する貯留液S1、S2の量を制御することによって、第1または第2貯留槽101、201内の液量を調節する。例えば、図5は、変形例6に従ったろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。変形例6の第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、排出バルブ210と、排出管L224とをさらに備えている。尚、第1膜ろ過ユニット100では、第1取出しバルブ111および第1取出し管L13がそれぞれ排出バルブおよび排出管として機能する。
図6は、第2実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第2実施形態の第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、洗浄部を省略した実施形態である。従って、第2実施形態の第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、洗浄液槽112、洗浄ポンプ113、洗浄管L115を有しない。これに伴い、第1実施形態の第1取出し管L13および第1取出しバルブ111は、第1非透過液管L11に設けられている。第1取出し管L13および第1取出しバルブ111は、洗浄液の排出管および排出バルブとして用いられる必要がないからである。よって、第2実施形態では、非透過液の一部は、第1非透過液管L11から第1取出し管L13を介してろ過装置の外部へ取り出され、その残りは、第1非透過液管L11を介して第1貯留槽101へ戻される。
図7は、第3実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第3実施形態の第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、第2膜ろ過ユニット200ほぼ同様の構成を有し、取出し・返送管L14と、第1非透過液返送管L15と、第1透過液返送管L16と、流量計122と、返送バルブ123、126とをさらに備えている。
図8は、第4実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第4実施形態の第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、図1の第1膜ろ過ユニット100と同様の構成を有する。第4実施形態の第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、図6の第1膜ろ過ユニット100とほぼ同様の構成を有する。
図9は、変形例7に従ったろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。変形例7は、第4実施形態に第1実施形態の変形例3を組み合わせた形態である。従って、変形例7による第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、第1開閉バルブ109をさらに備えている。第1開閉バルブ109は、第1調整バルブ108と第2貯留槽201との間の第1透過液管L12に設けられている。第1開閉バルブ109は、第1制御部115によって制御され、第4実施形態の第1調整バルブ108と同様に動作する。即ち、第1貯留槽101内の貯留液S1の液面が下限レベルLL1よりも低くなった場合、あるいは、第2貯留槽201内の貯留液S2の液面が上限レベルUL2よりも高くなった場合に、第1開閉バルブ109は閉じ、第1透過液管L12から第2膜ろ過ユニットへの第1透過液の流れを止める。
第1および第2実施形態では、単一の第1膜ろ過ユニット100が設けられており、第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、その単一の第1膜ろ過ユニット100の後に続くように設けられている。
第1膜ろ過ユニット100_2は、第1膜ろ過ユニット100_1からの透過液を受けて、その透過液を含む貯留液S1_2をろ過した透過液を、後段の第2膜ろ過ユニット200へ供給する。このとき、第1膜ろ過ユニット100_2からは、非透過液(例えば、タンパク質)S12が取り出される。第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、第1膜ろ過ユニット100_2からの透過液を受けて、その透過液を含む貯留液S2をさらにろ過した透過液S3を外部へ流す。このとき、第2膜ろ過ユニット200からは、非透過液(例えば、単糖、オリゴ糖等の糖液や、アミノ酸、芳香族化合物)S13が取り出される。
第5実施形態では、直列に連続する2つの第1膜ろ過ユニット100_1、100_2が設けられている。
図1~図9の第1膜ろ過ユニット100において、第1調整部としての調整バルブ108および流量計105は、透過液管L12に設けられている。しかし、調整バルブ108および流量計105の配置はこれに限定しない。
例えば、図12に示すように、第1調整バルブ108は、第1非透過液管L11に設けられ、第1流量計105の透過液の流量に基づいて非透過側を加圧して透過液流量を調節してもよい。
図18は、第7実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第7実施形態では、第3膜ろ過ユニット300をさらに備えている。第3膜ろ過ユニット300は、第1膜ろ過ユニット100と第2膜ろ過ユニット200とに接続されており、第1膜ろ過ユニット100からの第1非透過液を第3分離膜部304でろ過して、その透過液(第3透過液)を第2膜ろ過ユニット200へ供給する。即ち、第3膜ろ過ユニット300は、第1膜ろ過ユニット100に並列に接続されている。第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、第1および第3膜ろ過ユニット100、300の両方からの透過液(第1および第3透過液)を受ける。第7実施形態のその他の構成は、第3実施形態の対応する構成と同様である。尚、膜ろ過ユニットの並列接続とは、直列に接続された複数の膜ろ過ユニットの前段の膜ろ過ユニットからの非透過液をろ過し、ろ過後の透過液を後段の膜ろ過ユニットへ流す状態を示す。
第3膜ろ過ユニット300は、第3貯留槽301と、第3送液ポンプ303と、第3分離膜部304と、流量計305と、調整バルブ308と、第3取出しバルブ311と、流量計322と、返送バルブ306、323と、第3液量計314と、第3制御部315と、第3送液管L30と、第3非透過液管L31と、第3透過液管L32と、取出し・返送管L33と、第3取出し管L34と、非透過液返送管L35と、透過液返送管L36とを備えている。
図19は、第8実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第8実施形態の第3膜ろ過ユニット300は、加水部340をさらに備えている点で第7実施形態と異なる。第3加水部としての加水部340は、第3貯留槽301内の貯留液(第1非透過液)S3に水を供給する。
図20は、第9実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第9実施形態では、第3膜ろ過ユニット300が第2膜ろ過ユニット200に並列に設けられている。第3膜ろ過ユニット300の内部構成は、第7実施形態のそれと基本的に同じである。
図21は、第10実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第10実施形態の第3膜ろ過ユニット300は、加水部340をさらに備えている点で第9実施形態と異なる。第3加水部としての加水部340は、第3貯留槽301内の第2非透過液に水を供給する。
図22は、第11実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第11実施形態の第1膜ろ過ユニット100は、加水部140をさらに備えている点で第3実施形態と異なる。第1加水部としての加水部140は、第1貯留槽101内の貯留液S1に水を供給する。
図23は、第12実施形態によるろ過装置の構成例を示す図である。第12実施形態の第2膜ろ過ユニット200は、加水部240をさらに備えている点で第3実施形態と異なる。第2加水部としての加水部240は、第2貯留槽201内の貯留液(第1非透過液)S2に水を供給する。
