It is configured to recover only vapor from the liquid and concentrate the liquid to be treated. Unlike a general distillation apparatus, the membrane distillation apparatus has an advantage that the evaporated surface area is increased and the apparatus is miniaturized by using the membrane.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a conventional example of a membrane distillation apparatus. The liquid to be treated stored in the water supply tank 1 is sent to the heat exchanger (heater) 4 via the pipe 3 having the water supply pump 2, and after heat exchange with the high temperature fluid to be heated, the pipe is used. Water is sent to the membrane module 10 via 5.

In the membrane module 10, a large number of hollow fibers 11 are aligned to form a hollow fiber bundle, which is arranged in the vertical direction. The upper end side and the lower end side of the hollow fiber bundle are bound by the potting materials 12 and 13.
中空糸束は膜モジュール10のケーシング14内に配置されており、上側ポッティング材12の上側に流入室15が形成され、下側ポッティング材13の下側に流出室16が形成されている。各中空糸11内はそれぞれ流入室15及び流出室16内に連通している。
The hollow fiber bundle is arranged in the casing 14 of the membrane module 10, the inflow chamber 15 is formed on the upper side of the upper potting material 12, and the outflow chamber 16 is formed on the lower side of the lower potting material 13. The inside of each hollow fiber 11 communicates with the inflow chamber 15 and the outflow chamber 16, respectively.
配管5からの被処理液は、流入室15から各中空糸11内(一次側)に流入し、中空糸11を通り、流出室16へ流れ、該流出室16から配管6を介して給水タンク1に戻る。
The liquid to be treated from the pipe 5 flows from the inflow chamber 15 into each hollow fiber 11 (primary side), passes through the hollow fiber 11, flows to the outflow chamber 16, and flows from the outflow chamber 16 to the water supply tank via the pipe 6. Return to 1.
ケーシング14内における中空糸11外であって且つポッティング材12,13間が二次側17である。
The secondary side 17 is outside the hollow fiber 11 in the casing 14 and between the potting materials 12 and 13.
該二次側17は、配管(蒸気配管)20、熱交換器(冷却器)21、配管22、凝縮水タンク23及び配管24を介して減圧装置25に連通しており、該減圧装置25によって該二次側17が減圧される。
The secondary side 17 communicates with the decompression device 25 via a pipe (steam pipe) 20, a heat exchanger (cooler) 21, a pipe 22, a condensed water tank 23, and a pipe 24, and the decompression device 25 communicates with the decompression device 25. The secondary side 17 is depressurized.

上記膜蒸留装置にあっては、減圧装置25の負圧が二次側17から配管7を介して給水タンク1内に伝達される。そのため、給水ポンプ2の吸込側における配管3内の圧力が低くなり、キャビテーションが発生するおそれがある。このキャビテーションを防止するためには、給水タンク1内の水頭(水面高さ)Hを大きくする必要があり、給水タンク1の高さを大きくする設計が必要となる。
In the membrane distillation apparatus, the negative pressure of the decompression apparatus 25 is transmitted from the secondary side 17 to the water supply tank 1 via the pipe 7. Therefore, the pressure in the pipe 3 on the suction side of the water supply pump 2 becomes low, and cavitation may occur. In order to prevent this cavitation, it is necessary to increase the head (water surface height) H in the water supply tank 1, and it is necessary to design to increase the height of the water supply tank 1.
本発明は、給水タンクの高さを大きくすることなく、給水ポンプのキャビテーションを防止することができる膜蒸留装置及びその運転方法を提供することを目的とする。

図1は、実施の形態に係る膜蒸留装置の構成を示している。
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the membrane distillation apparatus according to the embodiment.
この実施の形態では、膜モジュール10の二次側17と給水タンク1の気相部1aとを連通する配管7に、二次側17と該気相部1aとの圧力差を調整するための弁8が設けられている。なお、弁8を設ける代りに配管7の径を小さくすることにより、二次側17と気相部1aとの圧力差を調整するようにしてもよく、配管7の径を小さくし、且つ弁8を設けるようにしてもよい。また配管7の一部の径を小さくしてもよい。
In this embodiment, the pressure difference between the secondary side 17 and the gas phase portion 1a is adjusted in the pipe 7 that communicates the secondary side 17 of the membrane module 10 and the gas phase portion 1a of the water supply tank 1. A valve 8 is provided. Instead of providing the valve 8, the diameter of the pipe 7 may be reduced to adjust the pressure difference between the secondary side 17 and the gas phase portion 1a, the diameter of the pipe 7 may be reduced, and the valve may be reduced. 8 may be provided. Further, the diameter of a part of the pipe 7 may be reduced.
配管7の径を小さくする場合、配管7の内径は、蒸気配管20の内径の1/4(25%)以下、好ましくは0.5~25%、特に好ましくは1~20%である。なお配管7は、膜蒸留装置の運転停止後の再起動前または運転中に膜モジュール10の二次側に滞留する凝縮液又は析出物を排出する目的で設置されており、配管7の内径は小さくても膜蒸留装置の運転管理上の影響はほとんどない。一方、配管7の内径が大きい場合、圧力差を所定値に安定して調整するには弁8の開閉を頻繁に行うことになり運転管理が難しくなる。また弁8を閉にした場合は膜モジュール10の二次側に凝縮液又は析出物が滞留する可能性があり、膜蒸留装置の安定運転上問題となる。
また配管7の長さは0.2~4m、特に0.5~2mであることが好ましい。 When the diameter of thepipe 7 is reduced, the inner diameter of the pipe 7 is 1/4 (25%) or less of the inner diameter of the steam pipe 20, preferably 0.5 to 25%, and particularly preferably 1 to 20%. The pipe 7 is installed for the purpose of discharging the condensate or precipitate accumulated on the secondary side of the membrane module 10 before restarting after the operation of the membrane distillation apparatus is stopped or during the operation, and the inner diameter of the pipe 7 is Even if it is small, there is almost no effect on the operation management of the membrane distillation apparatus. On the other hand, when the inner diameter of the pipe 7 is large, the valve 8 is frequently opened and closed in order to stably adjust the pressure difference to a predetermined value, which makes operation management difficult. Further, when the valve 8 is closed, the condensed liquid or the precipitate may stay on the secondary side of the membrane module 10, which causes a problem in stable operation of the membrane distillation apparatus.
The length of thepipe 7 is preferably 0.2 to 4 m, particularly preferably 0.5 to 2 m.
また配管7の長さは0.2~4m、特に0.5~2mであることが好ましい。 When the diameter of the

The opening degree of the valve 8 (or the pipe diameter of the pipe 7) is set so that 2 is 20 to 90 kPa, preferably 20 to 70 kPa.
これにより、気相部1aの過度な圧力低下が防止され、給水タンク1の水頭Hを大きくすることなく、給水ポンプ2の吸込側でのキャビテーションを防止することができる。
As a result, an excessive pressure drop in the gas phase portion 1a can be prevented, and cavitation on the suction side of the water supply pump 2 can be prevented without increasing the head H of the water supply tank 1.
