  • Page 15: Membranefiltration Process Design For "Tmr140 Series

    These would help you design the membrane filtration process with “TMR140 Series”. Standard Time Chart Two kinds of the filtration patterns are available with "TMR140 Series". One is the simple continuous filtration. And the other is the filtration with relaxation, that is the intermittent filtration.
  • Page 16 of this section. (1) Filtration with natural water head The filtration can be performed with using a natural water head differential pressure generated from a vertical distance between the liquid level of the membrane submerged tank and the level of the permeate water outlet (see Fig. IV-2). In order to obtain enough suction pressure for the filtration, the permeate water outlet should be located enough below the liquid level of the membrane submerged tank (normally located at the same level as the bottom of the element block).
  • Page 17 line to stop raw water coming. It is recommended to install enough capacity of the buffer tank (the equalization tank) before the membrane submerged tank to equalize the raw water flow and enable stable operation. In this natural water head filtration, the air accumulated in the permeate water line should be discharged once a day at least, otherwise the effective water head is reduced seriously.
  • Page 18 Air supply unit (such as a blower) This unit supplies air to the air diffusers of "TMR140 Series" module. The air flow rate supplied to the module should be within the range of "Scouring Air Flow Rate"...
  • Page 19 flow meter for one train of the modules. Suction pump A suction pump is required in the case of the filtration with suction pump. It is advised to use a self-priming suction pump having the necessary pumping head. g. Level switch Level switch is required to be installed in the membrane submerged tank to control the liquid level.

    3. Layout of “TMR140 Series” Modules in Membrane Submerged Tank (1) Layout of Modules in Membrane Submerged Tank Fig.IV-4 shows how the liquid circulates in the membrane submerged tank. An upward flow is generated as the air is supplied from the lower side of the membrane modules. The flow then goes downward along both sides of the element block.
  • Page 21 W1 : 380 to 680 mm (ii) W2 : 430 to 730 mm (iii) W3 : W3 should be as short as possible (normally about 400 mm) within the range allowing piping and maintenance work.

    supply. Check the control devices work well during the clean water operation, Start filtration with clean water. Measure and record the trans-membrane pressure and water temperature at designed filtration rates (at a normal, maximum and minimum flow rate). Maintain such records. Stop the filtration and the air supply as soon as the above tests finish.
  • Page 32: Operation Control

    VII. Operation Control Standard Operating Conditions Table VII-1 shows standard operating conditions for “TMR140 Series". These operating parameters such as MLSS, sludge viscosity, DO (dissolved oxygen concentration) and pH should be kept in the range of the standard operation conditions given in Table VII-1 in order to ensure stable operation.
  • Page 33 ABS supporting panel may get chemical cracks by some organic solvent, such as alcohols and oils, and some synthetic detergents. CAUTION So don't make ABS panel contact such materials. Avoid abrupt changes in pH, temperature, trans-membrane CAUTION pressure or any other conditions even if they are within the standard operating conditions (Table VII-1).
  • Page 34: Operating Parameters

    Operating Parameters The performance of “TMR140 Series” varies in accordance with the raw water quality and the operating conditions. It is recommended to monitor and record the values of operating parameters in order to achieve the stable operation and the expected performance with “TMR140 Series”.
  • Page 35: Daily Inspection

    Daily Inspection There are three key items for the stable operation without troubles, those are the trans-membrane pressure, the diffused air conditions and the biological treatment situation. For the control parameters listed in the preceding section, perform inspection as follows: (1) Trans-membrane pressure Please check that the trans-membrane pressure is stable.
  • Page 36 is too high, please replace the sludge or transfer the sludge to the sludge storage tank until an appropriate viscosity value is attained. (6) DO It is desirable that DO value is 1.0 mg/L or more at any point in the membrane submerged tank.
  • Page 37: Maintenance Of "Tmr140 Series

    VIII. Maintenance of “TMR140 Series” Maintenance Items and Maintenance Frequency Please perform strictly the following items to maintain “TMR140 Series" in good condition. Clean the air diffusers (everyday) Chemical cleaning of the element (every 6 months or when the trans-membrane pressure has risen by 5 kPa or more from its initial operating level at the same permeated water flow rate, whichever comes first).
  • Page 38: Air Diffuser Cleaning

    Air Diffuser Cleaning The clogging of diffuser holes causes uneven air diffusion and membrane clogging, and the elements are broken in the worst case. Please clean the air diffusers at least once a day to prevent such trouble. (it is recommended to install the automatic air diffuser cleaning system with automatic valves).
  • Page 39: Chemical Cleaning Of Element

    3. Chemical Cleaning of Element Chemical cleaning of element should be conducted when the trans-membrane pressure rises to excess. Such a pressure increase can be caused when contaminants clog the pores of the membrane surface. The timing of chemical cleaning is determined as follows: Every 6 months or when the trans-membrane pressure rises by 5 kPa from its initial operating level at the same permeated water flow rate, whichever comes first.
  • Page 40: Handling Of Chemical Agents

    Handling of Chemical Agents The chemical agents used for chemical cleaning are harmful to the health when in contact with the skin. When handling chemicals, wear protective goggles, protective gloves and other protectors. Make sure to check the details of its material safety data sheet (MSDS) and the instructions given below beforehand.
  • Page 41 (e) Thoroughly wash your hands and face and rinse out your mouth after using chemicals. Don't eat or drink anything in the working place except in a designated place. (g) Don't bring gloves or other contaminated protectors into the rest area. (h) Forbid unauthorized entry to the place where chemicals are handled.
  • Page 42 The chemical agents used for chemical cleaning are harmful to the health. When handling chemicals, wear protective goggles, WARNING protective gloves and other protectors. Make sure to check the details of its material safety data sheet (MSDS) beforehand. If chemicals should stick to your skin or clothes, immediately wash WARNING it away with a large amount of running water.
  • Page 43: Chemical Cleaning Procedure

    Chemical Cleaning Procedure (1) Element Chemical Cleaning Procedure Firstly please slowly inject the chemical via the permeated water nozzle into the elements until it percolates through the membranes. Please use a natural water head to inject the chemical, as shown below. Chemical Cleaning with the chemical tank located at the bottom (Fig.VIII-1) Confirm that the chemical injection valve is closed and that the chemical feed pump is stopped.
  • Page 44 Chemical cleaning with the chemical tank located above the membrane submerged tank (Fig.VIII-2) Confirm that the chemical injection valve is closed. (ii) Provide the chemical tank with specified amounts of the chemical. (iii) Stop filtration, stop aeration, and close the filtrate valve. (iv) Slowly open the chemical injection valve to inject chemicals.
  • Page 45 (2) Precautions for Element Chemical Cleaning Inject chemical by gravity. Keep the gravity pressure below 10kPa. Avoid forcibly applying pressure directly with the pump. A higher pressure will damage elements. Submerge the module completely in the tank and inject chemical. Please maintain the top of the module at least 500 mm below the liquid surface for the safety reason.
  • Page 46: Lifting Procedure

    Lifting Procedure Please take the following steps to lift “TMR140 Series” modules for maintenance, in the case that the modules are installed on the bottom of the tank with using anchors.
