Patent application title: WATER TREATMENT FILM CLEANING APPARATUS, CLEANING METHOD, AND WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a water treatment membrane cleaning apparatus and method for membrane separation of an organic substance contained in waste water and the like, and a water treatment system.
Background
[0002]
 As a method for removing organic substances from waste water such as clean water, sewage, industrial waste water and the like containing organic substances, there is membrane separation using a water treatment membrane. In such a water treatment system, since raw water such as waste water is filtered through a water treatment membrane to separate the raw water into an organic substance and filtered water, the organic substance can be stably removed. When the treatment is continuously performed, the organic substance may adhere to the inside and the surface of the water treatment film, and the pores formed in the water treatment film may be blocked. If the pores of the water treatment membrane are clogged, the membrane differential pressure will increase or the amount of filtered water will fall, resulting in a decrease in treatment capacity.Therefore, it is necessary to periodically clean the inside and surface of the water treatment membrane to remove organic matter. is there. As a method of washing the water treatment membrane, backwashing is performed by washing the inside of the water treatment membrane and the membrane surface by flowing a washing solution from the filtration secondary side (filtered water side) of the water treatment membrane to the filtration primary side (raw water side). Is generally done. There are various cleaning solutions used for backwashing, and water or an aqueous oxidizing agent solution such as a sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution is used. Further, ozone water having a high oxidizing power may be used in order to obtain a higher cleaning effect.
[0003]
 On the other hand, when ozone water is used as the cleaning liquid, even if it is attempted to use ozone water in which ozone is dissolved to near saturation solubility in order to obtain a sufficient cleaning effect, a negative pressure that partially occurs inside the pump that pumps ozone water. As a result, dissolved ozone may be liberated, so that the ozone concentration in the cleaning liquid may decrease and a sufficient cleaning effect may not be obtained. In addition, when a general centrifugal pump is used, there is a possibility that the performance of the pump may be reduced due to cavitation generated in the pump, or the pump may be disabled due to suction of liberated ozone gas.
[0004]
 Therefore, in order to enhance the cleaning effect, a cleaning method has been proposed in which air bubbling is performed by introducing bubbles such as ozone gas into the raw water side simultaneously with backwashing with ozone-containing water (for example, see Patent Document 1).
 Also, a cleaning gas such as ozone gas generated by a gas generator is mixed with a fluid such as water by an ejector (venturi-type gas-liquid mixing device) to generate a cleaning fluid. Some are introduced into a water purification tank equipped with a thread filter without using a pump. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).
 In addition, there is a uniaxial eccentric screw pump that pushes and introduces water in a state where bubbles of ozone gas are suspended into a pressurized ozone dissolving tank also serving as an accumulator (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

FIG.
[0015]
 The ozone gas supply pipe 101 controls the flow of ozone gas between the ozone gas supply unit 11 and the ozone gas flow path switching valve 13 by an opening / closing operation controlled by a control device (not shown), and is secondary when viewed from the ozone gas supply unit 11.

[0016]
 In the membrane separation tank 81, the separation membrane 82 is an organic hollow fiber membrane made of a material having ozone resistance, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The filtration primary side 811 of the membrane separation tank 81 is the inlet side of the raw water to be treated, and the filtration secondary side 812 is the outlet side of the raw water filtered by the separation membrane 82. The filtration primary side 811 is connected to the membrane separation tank ozone gas supply pipe 104 via the filtration primary side connection portion 813. The filtration secondary side 812 is connected to the filtration secondary side passage pipe 106 via the filtration secondary side connection portion 814.
[0017]
 The treated water tank 91 is connected to the filtration secondary side 812 via the filtration secondary side passage pipe 106, the three-way valve 14, and the treated water transfer pipe 107. The three-way valve 14 controls the flow of fluid among the ozone water supply pipe 105, the filtration secondary side passage pipe 106 and the treated water transfer pipe 107 by an opening / closing operation controlled by a control device (not shown).
[0018]
 The ozone gas flow path switching valve 13, the three-way valve 14, the ozone gas supply pressure adjustment valve 15, the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16, and the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 are open in the figure or in an open state depending on the pressure. In the figure, black is shown in a closed state. That is, FIG. 1 shows that the ozone gas flow path switching valve 13 is closed in all directions, and the three-way valve 14 is open between the filtration secondary side flow pipe 106 and the treated water transfer pipe 107. Is formed, the ozone water supply pipe 105 side is in a closed state. Further, the ozone gas supply pressure adjustment valve 15, the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16, and the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 are in a closed state.
[0019]
 Next, the operation will be described. In the process of treating the raw water, the raw water is introduced into the membrane separation tank 81 as shown in FIG. 1, and a flow F1 of raw water flowing from the filtration primary side 811 to the filtration secondary side 812 is generated inside the membrane separation tank 81. . The raw water flowing into the filtration secondary side 812 is filtered by the separation membrane 82 to remove organic substances. From the filtration secondary side 812, the filtration secondary side flow pipe 106, the three-way valve 14, the treated water transfer pipe. It is sent to the treated water tank 91 through 107. The treated water sent to the treated water tank 91 is temporarily stored and then discharged out of the system. During the process of treating the raw water, the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16 and the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 are closed, so that the flow is blocked between the membrane separation tank 81 and the cleaning device 10.
[0020]
 When the process of treating raw water is completed, the separation membrane 82 is cleaned. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the water treatment membrane cleaning method according to the first embodiment. The method for cleaning a water treatment film of the present invention includes two processes, an ozone water generation process (step ST01) and an ozone water supply process (step ST02) after the ozone water generation process. Each step will be described below.
[0021]
 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an ozone water generation process according to Embodiment 1, and FIG. 4 is an overall configuration diagram showing an outline of a water treatment system in the ozone water generation process according to Embodiment 1. In the ozone water generation step, first, the ozone gas flow path switching valve 13 is opened between the ozone gas supply pipe 101 and the liquid phase part ozone gas supply pipe 103, and a flow path is formed between the ozone gas supply part 11 and the air diffuser 19. Form (step ST011). The gas phase portion ozone gas supply pipe 102 side is closed, and the flow between the ozone gas supply portion 11 and the gas phase portion 121 is shut off. Further, the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 is closed. About the ozone dissolution tank pressure regulating valve 16, the open / closed state is controlled by the pressure of the gas phase section 121 as described later.
[0022]
 Next, the ozone gas supply part 11 is started, ozone gas is sent to the diffuser 19, and ozone gas is supplied to the liquid phase part 122 through the diffuser 19 (step ST012). At this time, the set pressure value of the ozone gas supply pressure adjusting valve 15 is set to be equal to or higher than the water head pressure value applied to the air diffuser 19. The set pressure value of the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16 is set to be less than the pressure value obtained by subtracting the water head pressure value applied to the diffuser 19 from the set pressure value of the ozone gas supply pressure adjustment valve 15. By determining the set pressure value of the ozone dissolution tank pressure regulating valve 16 in this way, ozone gas is continuously supplied from the diffuser 19 into the liquid phase part 122.
[0023]
 Part of the ozone gas supplied to the liquid phase part 122 is dissolved in the water of the liquid phase part 122 and the rest is accumulated in the gas phase part 121 as undissolved ozone gas. The undissolved ozone gas accumulated in the gas phase part 121 increases the pressure of the ozone gas in the gas phase part 121. According to Henry's law, the saturation solubility of gas in water increases as the pressure of the gas increases, so the saturation solubility of ozone in water forming the liquid phase portion 122 is not dissolved in the gas phase portion 121. It increases with the accumulation of ozone gas.
[0024]
 When the pressure value of the gas phase section 121 becomes equal to or higher than the set pressure value of the ozone dissolution tank pressure regulating valve 16 (step ST013), a part of the undissolved ozone gas flows out from the ozone gas outlet 124, and the membrane separation tank ozone gas supply pipe 104 is connected. And supplied to the filtration primary side 811 of the membrane separation tank 81 (step ST014).
[0025]
 The undissolved ozone gas supplied to the filtration primary side 811 becomes bubbles on the filtration primary side 811 and flows through the filtration primary side 811 like the flow F2 of undissolved ozone gas shown in FIG. Bubbles of undissolved ozone gas flowing through the filtration primary side 811 peel and remove organic substances adhering to the membrane surface of the separation membrane 82 by physical action due to shearing force and chemical action due to ozone gas as the oxidizing gas. Then, the membrane surface of the separation membrane 82 is washed (step ST015). It should be noted that there is an effect of weakening the adhesion force to the separation membrane 82 even for the deposits that cannot be removed / removed only by bubbles of undissolved ozone gas. Thus, the undissolved ozone gas supplied to the filtration primary side 811 acts as an aeration gas for film surface cleaning. Thereby, undissolved ozone gas is consumed in the membrane separation tank, and contamination of the separation membrane 82 is reduced.
[0026]
 When the dissolved ozone concentration of the water forming the liquid phase portion 122 reaches the set concentration value and ozone water having a desired dissolved ozone concentration is generated in the liquid phase portion 122, the ozone water generation step is terminated and the ozone of the next step It progresses to a water supply process (step ST016). Note that a predetermined value near the saturation solubility is set as the set concentration value. Since the cleaning effect on the separation membrane 82 is higher as the dissolved ozone concentration is higher, the set concentration value is preferably as close to the saturated solubility as possible. However, the saturated solubility varies depending on the temperature, pH, and atmospheric pressure of the solvent. In order to make the concentration constant, for example, a constant value of 30 mg / L or more may be set as the set concentration value. Further, an aeration time such that the dissolved ozone concentration becomes a set concentration value may be obtained in advance, and in the actual ozone water generation process, the aeration time may be set instead of determining the set concentration value.
[0027]
 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an ozone water supply process according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 6 is an overall configuration diagram showing an outline of a water treatment system in the ozone water supply process according to the first embodiment. In the ozone water supply process, first, the ozone gas flow path switching valve 13 is opened between the ozone gas supply pipe 101 and the gas phase portion ozone gas supply pipe 102 and a flow path is formed between the ozone gas supply section 11 and the gas phase section 121. At the same time, the liquid phase portion ozone gas supply pipe 103 side is closed, and the ozone gas supply destination is switched from the liquid phase portion 122 to the gas phase portion 121 (step ST021). Further, the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16 is closed. About the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17, an open / close state is controlled by the supply pressure of ozone water, as will be described later.
[0028]
 Next, in the three-way valve 14, the ozone water supply pipe 105 and the filtration secondary side pipe 106 are opened to form a flow path between the liquid phase part 122 and the filtration secondary side, and the treated water The transfer pipe 107 side is closed and the flow path of the three-way valve 14 is switched. Thereafter, ozone gas is supplied from the ozone gas inlet 123 to the gas phase portion 121, ozone water in the liquid phase portion 122 is transferred using the pressure of the ozone gas in the gas phase portion 121 as a driving force, and the secondary filtration of the membrane separation tank 81 is performed. Is supplied to the side 812 (step ST022). Since the ozone dissolution tank pressure regulating valve 16 is in a closed state, the pressure in the gas phase section 121 rises with the supply of ozone gas to the gas phase section 121, and is sufficient for transferring ozone water to the filtration secondary side 812. Pressure can be obtained. The ozone water in the liquid phase part 122 flows out from the ozone water outlet 125 and flows into the filtration secondary side 812 through the ozone water supply pipe 105, the three-way valve 14, and the filtration secondary side flow path pipe 106.
[0029]
 While supplying ozone water to the filtration secondary side 812 as described above, impurities such as organic suspended substances clogged inside the membrane are dissolved on the filtration secondary side 812, and the inside of the separation membrane 82 is washed. The ozone water after being used for washing flows from the filtration secondary side to the filtration primary side 811 as in the flow F3 of ozone water shown in FIG. 6 (step ST023).
[0030]
 The driving force for circulating the ozone water from the filtration secondary side 812 to the filtration primary side 811 is the pressure from the gas phase section 121 as in the transfer of the ozone water. From the viewpoint of the cleaning effect of the separation membrane 82 and the prevention of ozone re-releasing in the ozone water during transfer, it is preferable to supply ozone water to the filtration secondary side 812 at a supply pressure as high as possible. If the pressure applied to the membrane 82 is excessive, the separation membrane 82 may be damaged by exceeding the pressure resistance of the separation membrane 82. The ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 is controlled so as to reduce the excessive supply pressure, and the pressure applied to the separation membrane 82 by the flow of ozone water by adjusting the pressure of the ozone water supplied to the filtration secondary side 812. Prevents overloading. From the balance of the cleaning effect by ozone water and the prevention of damage to the separation membrane, the set pressure value of the ozone water supply pressure adjustment valve 17 is preferably not less than the set pressure value of the ozone dissolution tank pressure adjustment valve 16 and not more than 300 kPa.
[0031]
 The time required for cleaning the separation membrane 82 depends on the size of the separation membrane 82 and the degree of contamination, but is considered to be about 30 minutes. During cleaning, the ozone gas supply unit 11 continues to supply ozone gas to the gas phase unit 121 and continues to supply ozone water to the filtration secondary side 812, and then stops supplying ozone gas by the ozone gas supply unit 11 to supply ozone water. The process ends.
[0032]
 According to Embodiment 1, utilization efficiency of ozone gas can be increased with a simple configuration while preventing an increase in size. More specifically, by providing the gas phase portion ozone gas supply pipe and the liquid phase portion ozone gas supply pipe, it is possible to supply ozone gas to each of the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion of the ozone dissolution tank that generates ozone water. . As a result, after ozone is dissolved in the liquid phase water through the air diffuser, the ozone gas is supplied to the gas phase by switching the supply destination of the ozone gas, and the ozone gas is applied by applying the pressure of the ozone gas from the gas phase side. Water is supplied to the membrane separation tank. For this reason, the pressure applied to the ozone water is maintained, and the ozone water can be transferred to the membrane separation tank while maintaining a high saturation solubility, thereby preventing the liberation of ozone and increasing the utilization efficiency of ozone gas.
 In addition, the cleaning of the separation membrane is performed only with ozone water, and a circulation path for increasing the dissolved ozone concentration is unnecessary. For this reason, the configuration is simple and an increase in cost can be prevented.
 In addition, the ozone gas and undissolved ozone gas supplied to the gas phase part are used to increase the pressure of the gas phase part, and the ozone water used for cleaning consumes ozone before flowing out to the filtration primary side, An apparatus for treating exhausted ozone gas such as a reducing apparatus using a catalyst or activated carbon is also unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be prevented from being enlarged and cost can be prevented from increasing.
[0033]
 In addition, before cleaning the separation membrane with ozone water in the ozone water supply process, the membrane surface of the separation film is cleaned from the primary side of the filtration using bubbles of undissolved ozone gas in the ozone water generation process. Can be further enhanced. Furthermore, since the contamination of the separation membrane is reduced prior to the ozone water supply process, the supply pressure in the ozone water supply process can be reduced to shorten the cleaning time, and the amount of ozone gas required for cleaning can be reduced. Can do. Further, since the undissolved ozone gas is consumed by reacting with the membrane surface and the sludge on the primary filtration side, it is not necessary to treat the undissolved ozone gas as exhaust ozone gas.
[0034]
 In Embodiment 1, there is one ozone gas supply unit, and the ozone gas flow path switching valve switches the ozone gas supply destination between the liquid phase part and the gas phase part of the ozone dissolution tank. Since ozone gas only needs to be supplied to both the gas phase part and the liquid phase part, ozone gas supply parts may be provided for the gas phase part and the liquid phase part, respectively. In this case, the ozone gas supply unit for the gas phase part is connected to the gas phase part ozone gas supply pipe to supply ozone gas only to the gas phase part, and the ozone gas supply part for the liquid phase part is connected to the liquid phase part ozone gas supply pipe. Since ozone gas is supplied only to the liquid phase part, the ozone gas flow path switching valve can be omitted.
[0035]
 It should be noted that the present invention can be freely combined with each other within the scope of the invention, and each embodiment can be appropriately modified or omitted.
