Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a method and an apparatus for detecting a breakage of the membranes of a hollow fiber membrane filter apparatus wherein the breakage of the hollow fiber membranes can be found at an early stage. CONSTITUTION: Under a condition where a raw water (a liq. to be filtered) is filled in a raw water room 14 of a container 12, the raw water room 14 is tightly closed and the inside of the raw water room is pressurized by introducing air from an air introducing pipe 26 into the raw water room 14. In this case, if outer pressure hollow fiber membranes 18, 18... placed in the raw water room 14 are broken, as the pressurized air flows into a treated water (filtrate) room 16 side from the broken part, breakage of the outer pressure hollow fiber membranes 18, 18... can be confirmed by detecting bubbles of the pressurized air flowed into this treated water room 16 by means of a fine particle monitor 34 of an air bubble detecting part 30. By this method, as the breakage can be detected if only one of the outer pressure hollow fiber membranes 18, 18... is broken, abnormality of a membrane processing system can be found at an early stage.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a so-called microfiltration membrane has a pore size of 0.01 μm to several μm. Hollow fiber membrane filters having these pore sizes include an external pressure type that filters raw water from the outside of the membrane to the inside and an internal pressure type that is the opposite. The raw water targeted by the present invention contains a large amount of algae and bacteria (activated sludge, etc.) that easily generate slime in the filtration device in addition to inorganic substances that are easily removed by washing as SS (suspension).
In addition to the above substances, soluble substances such as chromaticity, manganese, and trace organic substances are contained. At present, these raw water treatments are generally carried out by a method of (coagulation sedimentation → filtration) or (pressure floating → filtration) for removal of SS and activated carbon for removal of soluble substances. It is processed according to the processing method.

However, when the hollow fiber membrane is broken (cut, for example) for some reason, a part of the raw water (liquid to be filtered) leaks to the treated water (filtrate) side and contaminates the treated water. Therefore, various methods for detecting abnormalities when the hollow fiber membrane is cut have been studied. The first method is to install a turbidimeter on the treated water line and judge by the increase in the turbidity amount of the treated water. In the second method, the treated water is further subjected to membrane filtration to increase the filtration pressure of the second stage membrane (ΔP).
There is a method to evaluate the condition.

However, in the first method, detection is impossible unless a considerable number of hollow fiber membranes are broken, and in particular, in the case of hollow fiber membranes, there is thread breakage. However, there is a problem that the determination by the first method is difficult because the cut surface is clogged with turbidity in the raw water at a relatively early stage and the outflow of turbidity into the treated water is stopped. Further, the second method has a problem that it takes 1 to 2 weeks to detect an abnormality.
