Abstract:
An energy-saving filtering system and a hollow fiber membrane module for the same are disclosed. According to the filtering system of the present invention, pretreated feed water flows into the case of the hollow fiber membrane module by gravity, and the filtrate passing through the hollow fiber membrane is discharged from the hollow fiber membrane module by gravity.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a submerged-type compact filtration apparatus of minimized footprint which can be installed easily, maintained safely and conveniently, and operated with substantially reduced energy. The submerged-type filtration apparatus of the invention comprises a filtration bath disposed over a ground; a filtration membrane cassette configured to be installed in the filtration bath; and a first guide disposed in the filtration bath and configured to guide the filtration membrane cassette when the filtration membrane cassette is inserted into the filtration bath so as to be installed therein.
Abstract:
Disclosed are system and method for filtration capable of minimizing the damage of a filtration membrane module, reducing the energy consumption, and improving the filtration efficiency. The filtration method of the invention comprises performing a preliminary filtration of a feed water with first and second submerged-type filtration membrane modules; pressurizing an initial filtrate produced through the preliminary filtration with a pressure higher than an osmotic pressure of the feed water; filtering the pressurized initial filtrate with a reverse osmosis membrane module; interrupting the first submerged-type filtration membrane module performing the preliminary filtration; and backwashing the first submerged-type filtration membrane module caused to stop performing the preliminary filtration, wherein the preliminary filtration with the second submerged-type filtration membrane module is continuously performed while the first submerged-type filtration membrane module is backwashed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a filtering apparatus capable of minimizing the relative vibration of the filtering membrane module within the frame structure during the aeration cleaning process, thereby preventing the damage of the filtering membrane module which might be caused due to the relative vibration as well as the separation of the filtering membrane module from the frame structure. The filtering apparatus comprises a frame structure including a cross bar and a filtering membrane module installed in the frame structure. The cross bar comprises a first rib inserted into a receiver of the header of the filtering membrane module. The filtering apparatus further comprises a stopper fastened to an end of the first rib passing through a through-hole of the receiver so as to prevent the filtering membrane module from being separated from the frame structure.
