    摘要: A membrane filter is treated with formulated oxide powder and submerged in a liquid to be treated. Colloids in the liquid to be treated are separated and removed, and a colloid-free gap is maintained between the filtered colloids and the formulated oxide powder on the surface of the membrane by adjusting the flux rate which may typically range from 250-750 litres per m2 per hour. A low trans-membrane pressure is maintained across the membrane while the colloid-free gap is maintained, and a low turbidity is achieved in the filtered liquid.

    摘要: A membrane container 6 has a casing 10 including a fluid inlet 14 and a fluid outlet 16 and a membrane container body 9 including a plurality of flow paths 11 which is arranged along the flow direction of the treated fluid and in parallel to one another. Each of the plurality of flow paths 11 includes a most upstream portion 11A which is connected to the fluid inlet 14, and a most downstream portion 11C which is connected to the fluid outlet 16. Return portions 15 and 17 configured to reverse the flow direction of the treated fluid are provided between the most upstream portion 11A and the most downstream portion 11C. After passing through the fluid inlet 14, the treated fluid flows from the most upstream portion 11A down to the most downstream portion 11C via the return portions 15 and the upper return portion 17.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed at a modular apparatus for a saltwater desalinating system, and a method for using same. The apparatus includes multiple internal modules that are compressively coupled to each other. Each of the internal modules includes a pair of rigid end plates located at opposing ends of the internal module, and a stack of membrane bounded compartments that are layered from one of the end plates to the other. The modular apparatus can be used in a membrane based desalination system, which includes concentration difference energy systems, electrodialysis reversal systems, and membrane distillation systems. The modular apparatus helps to mitigate problems such as leakage and buckling in such systems, and can be used to increase membrane packing density and, accordingly, desalination efficiency.
