Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for cleaning fouled membranes, in particular reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in desalination and water treatment plants.
- RO reverse osmosis
- the method of RO is an effective and energy-saving method of desalination which is widely employed for obtaining water for industrial use, for agriculture, potable water and ultrapure water.
- the method consists in applying mechanical (gauge) pressure over a saline solution (such as sea water), which is higher than the osmotic pressure of the same solution, in a volume delimited by a semi-permeable membrane (RO membrane).
- the solvent is squeezed through the membrane to its‘permeate’ side while dissolved salts remain in solution at the‘feed’ side of the membrane.
- osmotic pressures of solutions are referenced to pure solvent, i.e. if a given saline water solution has an osmotic pressure PO, this means that pure water from the other side of an osmotic membrane will permeate towards this solution as if under gauge pressure PO.
- a more effective method of cleaning is by using direct osmosis wherein saline solution is fed to the fouled feed side of the RO while supplying solvent (water) to the permeate side of the membrane.
- the higher osmotic pressure at the feed side sucks water from the permeate side to the feed side of the RO membrane whereby the water penetrates into the interface between the membrane and the accumulated foulant and separates the foulant from the membrane surface.
- the saline solution may be provided to the feed side without pressure and the water is supplied to the permeate side without pressure resulting in cleaning water being sucked back to the feed side as a result of the net differential pressure between the two osmotic pressures. However, this may result in remote areas of the membrane not being cleaned.
- a RO membrane is typically a tight multi-layered structure with very narrow passages where water flows very slowly. Some areas of the membrane are close to the channel supplying water while other areas are remote. The high net differential between sea water and water leads to a very fast back-suction of water from the permeate side to the feed side causing water to not reach remote areas of the membrane while the concentration at both side of the membrane in close areas soon becoming equalised, stopping the cleaning process.
- US 2007/0246425 A1 describes an improved direct osmosis cleaning method and system that provides a pressurized source of dilute saline solution and a pressurized source of saline solution.
- a plurality of RO modules are provided and connected in parallel and the system includes a source of raw solution with a high pressure feed pump, a common high- pressure raw solution feed line connecting front end ports of the modules to the source of raw solution, a common high pressure brine collection line connecting the rear end brine ports of the modules to a first brine discharge outlet and a common permeate collection line connecting the permeate ports of the modules to a product storage tank or next stage separator.
- a plurality of valves are provided adapted to open or close the ports and common lines so as to allow performance of the normal separation process and the cleaning method on each RO module in turn.
- the cleaning method comprises feeding dilute saline solution to the permeate side of the RO membrane under gauge pressure (PD4) and osmotic pressure (P04), feeding concentrated saline solution to the feed side of the RO membrane under gauge pressure (PC5) and osmotic pressure (P05) and withdrawing the concentrated saline solution together with the separated foulant and the penetrated water from the feed side of the RO membrane.
- PD4 permeate side of the RO membrane under gauge pressure
- P04 osmotic pressure
- PC5 feed side of the RO membrane under gauge pressure
- P05 osmotic pressure
- This aforementioned method and system does enhance the cleaning of the membrane by allowing all parts of the membrane to be reached and enables cleaning to occur in particular modules of the desalination plant while other modules continue to operate.
- the implementation of the process requires high pressure pipes and valves which is costly and increases the footprint of the plant.

- PRO pressure-retarded osmosis

- the method and system is also applicable to other osmostic driven processes across a semipermeable membrane, such as nanofiltration, pressure retarded osmosis and forward osmosis processes used in various industries, such as desalination, water treatment, food production and chemical processing.
- the crux of the invention is the ability to allow permeate water (“product water”) to flow out from the permeate side of the membrane during the normal separation process and, during the cleaning mode of the pressure vessel, close or lock the permeate outflow flow before it leaves a pressure vessel while allowing permeate water (“washing water”) from an external source to be delivered to the permeate side of the membrane.
- product water permeate water
- washing water permeate water
- FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings illustrates a conventional reverse osmosis train equipped with a direct osmosis cleaning system according to the prior art.
- the illustrated system is shown carrying out the normal desalination process.
- the system includes a high pressure pump 1 , connected by pipes to a series of pressure vessels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 each containing a reverse osmosis membrane 3. Waste brine recovered from the feed side of the vessels is fed to a pelton turbine 15 for energy recovery.
- Permeate ports from the permeate side of each membrane are connected to a series of pipes with valves V 15 V 2 provided in permeate manifolds.
- Valves Vi are open during normal operation of the system and valves V 2 are closed to enable the removal of product (permeate) from the permeate side of the membranes for delivery to the client.
- a further pressure vessel 20 acts as a permeate injector of permeate water (“washing water”) from an external source and is only operational during the direct osmosis cleaning phase.
- the pressure vessel has a piston 22 but no membrane and is connected at one end to the high pressure feed by valves V 2 and at the other end to the permeate manifolds by valves V 3 . This pressure vessel is full of permeate but is isolated from the rest of the system during the normal desalination process by valves V 2 being shut.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate the flow of fluid through the membranes, demonstrating the respective gauge and osmostic pressures of the fluids that provide a net driving force through the membrane.
- the feed stream is at -65 bar gauge pressure and the osmostic pressure of the sea water is -33 bar.
- the permeate stream is -1 bar gauge pressure and the osmotic pressure of the permeate is -0.3 bar. This provides a net driving force for desalination of -31 .3 bar.
- Foulants 30 are deposited on the feed side of the membrane during flow of fluid from the feed to the permeate side of the membrane.
- Direct osmosis cleaning of the foulant deposited on the membrane is carried out by shutting off valves ⁇ L and opening valves V 2 and V 3 so that feed is directed onto the piston 22 so that permeate water (“washing water”) is fed under pressure back through the permeate manifolds into the permeate side of each pressure vessel.
- This causes the flow of fluid through the membrane to reverse and the passage of fluid from the permeate side to the feed side serves to lift foulant 30 from the membrane 3 which is then removed from the vessels prior to reversal of the process back to the normal desalination process by the closing of valves V 2 and opening of valves ⁇ .
- FIGs 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings illustrate schematically one embodiment of the present invention in which the valves for enabling reversal of the permeate flow are provided within each pressure vessel.
- Figure 3 illustrates a permeate port in the form of a main adapter 40 provided with valve 42.
- permeate is able to flow out of the pressure vessel 2 during normal operation of the reverse osmosis desalination system.
- the valve 42 is shut off to prevent flow from the vessel but opens to allow permeate to flow into the permeate side of the vessel.
- the ability to provide valves within the high pressure vessel removes the need to have valves outside of the vessel with associated pipework that must be able to withstand high pressures. While flow of fluid across the membrane of each pressure vessel to be independently reversed to allow for cleaning of the membrane without the need for external high pressure pipework and valves.
- other designs of valve within the vessel pressure may be utilised.
- the permeate pressurization device is composed of two valves 50, 60 located at each end of a standard RO membrane pressure vessel 2, as shown in Figure 6.
- Figure 5 illustrates an end section of a standard membrane pressure vessel which is modified by placing a valve 50 or 60 in place of the adapter 70.
- the permeate pressurization device has a front valve 50 provided at the feed inlet end of the vessel and a rear valve 60 provided at the permeate outlet end of a pressure vessel.
- Front valve 50 serves to selectively open/close a permeate outlet and a washing water (permeate or other water source) inlet, as explained in further detail below.
- Rear valve 60 selectively opens and closes permeate outlet only.
- FIG. 7 is a front valve section illustrating the components of the front valve 50.
- the valve is provided in main adapter 40 and includes an inlet adapter 51 for the washing water inlet connected to a pipe 52 connected to the main body 53 of the valve. Inwardly of the body is an elastic tube 54, sealing stand 55 and membrane adapter 56. A smaller diameter metal command pipe extends from the membrane adapter through the pressure vessel 2.
- FIG 8 is a rear valve section illustrating the components of the rear valve 60.
- the rear valve is again provided in a main adapter 40 and the valve includes an adapter 61 , main body 62, spring 63, shaft 64 and seal 65.
- the smaller command pipe 80 that extends from the front valve 50 serves to connect the two valves 50, 60 as shown in Figure 9, enabling the front valve 50 to command the rear valve 60.
- FIGS 10 to 13C illustrate operation of the valves 50, 60 during a normal RO desalination process.
- Feed water FS enters the inlet 12 to the pressure vessel 2 at high pressure and passes across the membrane 3 to provide a brine stream BS and a permeate stream PS.
- the brine stream BS exits through a brine water outlet 14 and the permeate stream PS exits at low pressure through front and rear outlets 16, 17 via the valves 50, 60, in a flow rate of around 20% through the front valve and 80% through the rear valve (as indicated by direction of arrows in Figure 10).
- FIGs 1 1 to 12C illustrate the operation of the front valve 50 in further detail during this normal operational procedure.
- the front permeate flow through the valve is indicated by the arrows with the front permeate flowing through the membrane adapter 56 into the elastic tube 54, squeezing the tube radially (see Figure 12C).
- the front permeate passes the sealing stand 55 and goes inside it through holes 55a (see Figure 12B).
- the permeate stream then flows throw holes 53a in the main body 53 (see Figure 12A) and around the sealing stand 55 and goes inside it through holes 55a (see Figure 12B).
- the permeate stream then flows throw holes 53a in the main body 53 (see Figure 12A) and around the pipe 52 to exit the permeate outlet 16.
- Port 58 connected to command pipe 80 is sealed to the front permeate.
- FIGs 14 to 16C of the accompanying drawings illustrate operation of the valves 50, 60 during the direct osmotic cleaning (DOC) mode of the system.
- High pressure washing water for delivery to the permeate side of the membrane 3 is introduced through a washing water inlet of adapter 51 and flows through the front valve 50. This water passes through the membrane 3 to the feed-brine side, thereby cleaning the membrane.
- rear valve 60 must be shut, as detailed below.
- Figures 15A to 15C illustrate operation of the front valve 50 in the DOC mode.
- the high pressure washing water comes into the adapter through the inlet 51 and flows into the pipe 52 and main body 53 (see arrows on Figure 15A).
- valves ⁇ L and V 2 of the prior art that are external to the vessel. This removes the need for valves and piping outside of the vessel that must be constructed of materials that can withstand high pressures and reduces the foot print of the apparatus.
