Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the dischargeability of waste physically washing water and to hardly cause the damage of hollow yarn membranes near the fixed interface of the hollow yarn membranes by installing high molecular material layers of rubber-like elasticity for covering the perimeters of the membranes near the end surfaces inside adhesive fixed parts of resin partitions at both ends and the hollow yarn membranes. SOLUTION: A module has feed ports 7 for raw water consisting of through holes made in one resin partition 4 itself, a straightening cylinder 8 arranged around the bundle end part on the opposite side of the raw water feed ports 7, and high molecular material layers 5 of rubber-like elasticity for covering the membrane peripheral surface around the inner end surfaces of the adhesive- fixed parts between the resin partitions 4 at both ends and hollow yarn membranes 2. In this way, by a membrane shake on crossflow filtration and on aeration flushing washing, shear stress generated, concentrated to around the adhesive interfaces between the resin partitions 4 and the hollow yarn membrane 2 is dispersed and relaxed, and a bend angle near the adhesive interface of the hollow yarn membrane 2 due to its being pulled in on discharge of backwashing water is relaxed.

Using this external pressure type hollow fiber membrane module,
The same test as in Example 1 was performed. When the module was inspected for leaks after the test, it was confirmed that there were three leaks. When the module was disassembled to identify the leak location and the leak location was examined, the hollow fiber membrane was broken at the silicone reinforced interface near the concentrated water discharge nozzle at all three locations. From the positional relationship of the concentrated water discharge nozzle, it was presumed that the cause of the breakage was the drawing of the film into the concentrated water discharge nozzle. Further, when the accumulation state of the turbid component in the hollow fiber membrane bundle in the module was observed, the central portion of each hollow fiber membrane bundle divided by the raw water supply port and the concentrated water discharge nozzle were observed as in the example. Accumulation of turbid components was not confirmed except on the opposite side.
