Abstract:
The invention relates to a filtration system (10) for liquid, particularly raw water, comprising at least one filtration module (20) for filtering the liquid, a first inlet pipe (21) for feeding liquid to the filtration module (20), a second inlet pipe (22) for feeding liquid to the filtration module (20) and at least one outlet pipe (26) for discharging filtrate from the filtration module (20). A cleaning branch (80) is arranged between the first inlet pipe (21) and the second inlet pipe (22), and at least one dosing feeder (81, 82, 83) for adding a cleaning chemical is connected to the cleaning branch (80). The invention also relates to a method for chemical rinsing a filtration system (10) for liquid, particularly raw water, comprising at least one filtration module (20) for filtering the liquid, a first inlet pipe (21) for feeding liquid to the filtration module (20), a second inlet pipe (22) for feeding liquid to the filtration module (20) and at least one outlet pipe (26) for discharging filtrate from the filtration module (20). In chemically rinsing operation, a cleaning chemical is added via a dosing feeder (81, 82, 83) connected to a cleaning branch (80) which is arranged between the first inlet pipe (21) and the second inlet pipe (22).
Abstract:
The invention relates to filtration apparatus (10) for filtering fluids comprising a top compartment (12), a filtration compartment (14) and a bottom compartment (16), wherein the filtration compartment (14) comprises a plurality of filtration elements (18) arranged in parallel, the filtration elements (18) further comprising at least one permeate collecting tube (30), wherein the permeate connecting tube (30) is in fluid communication with the top compartment (12) such that in filtration operation a continuous permeate flow into a permeate collecting chamber (34) of the top compartment (12) is provided and in backwash operation permeate collected in the permeate collecting chamber (34) is flushed back through the filtration elements (18). The invention further relates to a method for filtering fluids using the filtration apparatus (10) as well as the use of the filtration apparatus (10).
