    摘要: In a process for filtering water containing solids using filtering membranes (24) in an open tank (120), feed water (14) is introduced into the tank to replace permeate removed (36) from the tank to keep the membranes preferably immersed in water while permeate is withdrawn. From time to time the concentration of solids in the water in the tank is reduced through deconcentration steps in which a volume of water having an increased concentration of solids compared to the initial concentration of solids is drained from the tank and a similar volume of feed water is introduced into the tank. The membranes may remain immersed in water during the deconcentrations by adding feed water to the tank while retentate is withdrawn from the tank.

    摘要: To pot membranes in a header, a dense, viscous liquid, suspension or, preferably, a thixotropic, water soluble gel (30), is placed in a header pan in space reserved for a permeate channel. A plurality of hollow fibre membranes (10) are collected together and their open ends are inserted into the gel. A fixing liquid, typically a resin (14), is placed over the gel (30). The fixing liquid (14) surrounds each membrane (10) and then solidifies, simultaneously sealing the outer surfaces of the membranes and forming a plug in the opening of the header to complete the permeate channel. After the fixing liquid has solidified, the gel (30) is removed by various means. The space initially occupied by the gel becomes part of the permeate channel after the gel is removed. In one embodiment, membranes are grouped by a cushioning adhesive which later surrounds the membranes where they exit the completed header.

    摘要: An improvement to an outside/in hollow fibre membrane filtration system includes a source of suction on the lumens of the membranes or pressure on the outside of the membranes operable without producing permeate and an air collector to collect any air that passes from the outside of the membranes to their lumens during an integrity test. A method for testing the integrety of filtering membranes involves exposing a first side of the membranes to air while a second side of the membranes remains exposed to water. A transmembrane pressure forces air through defects of concern in the membranes. Air that passes through a set of membranes is collected and its amount measured and compared to an acceptable amount of air to indicate whether there is a defect in the set of membranes. Preferably, air is collected individually from a plurality of membrane units in a filtration train and the amounts so collected compared to indicate if one of the membrane units is defective.
