Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the power necessary for keeping a closed-loop circulating pipeline at a high pressure, by using a vertical closed tank, and providing an inlet for a liq. concentrate from a reverse-osmosis membrane vessel at the lower part of the tank and an outlet for a liq. to be concentrated at the upper part of the tank in the title batch reverse-osmosis membrane concentrator. CONSTITUTION:The liq. concentrate enters into the vertical closed tank 9 from the reverse-osmosis membrane vessel 1 through the inlet 9a. The concentrate is not intermixed with the liq. to be concentrated in the tank 9 due to the difference in the temp. and sp.gr., and forms a separate layer. As a result, the liq. to be concentrated in the tank 9 is pushed up by the liq. concentrate flowing into the lower part of the tank 9. Consequently, the concn. of the liq. to be concentrated which is sent to the reverse-osmosis membrane vessel 1 from the tank 9 through the outlet 9b is not immediately increased by the mixing with the liq. concentrate flowing into the tank 9, the low concn. can be kept until the liq. to be concentrated flows out from the tank 9, and the concn. of the liq. to be treated is increased stepwise. Accordingly, since the pressure kept at a high pressure by a booster pump 4 can be increased stepwise, and the power necessary for keeping the pipeline at a high pressure can be reduced.

While this device has the advantage of being able to separate the concentrate and permeate in continuous operation, the pressurizing pump 4 applies the total amount of the raw material to be concentrated, the amount of the permeate and the concentrate, to high pressure. Since it has to be supplied under pressure, the pressure pump 4 consumes a large amount of power, resulting in a significant increase in operating costs.

Therefore, in this prior art reverse osmosis membrane concentrator, the pressure in the closed loop circulation line 3 including the reverse osmosis membrane tank 1, the circulation pump 2, and the closed tank 9 is made high by the pressure pump 4. The permeate is taken out from the permeate extraction pipe 6, and when the concentration of the liquid to be concentrated in the closed loop circulation pipe 3 becomes high, the operation is interrupted and the raw material to be concentrated is injected from the raw material to be concentrated liquid injection pipe 5. On the other hand, by discharging the concentrate from the concentrate discharge pipe 8, the concentrate in the closed loop circulation pipe 3 is completely replaced with a new raw material to be concentrated. tank 9
By providing this, the operating time can be extended by the internal volume of the sealed tank, and the pressurizing pump 4 in this
Since it is sufficient to pressurize and supply the raw material to be concentrated by the amount of the permeate, power consumption can be reduced compared to the conventional method.

an inlet 9a of the closed loop circulation line 3 to the closed tank 9;
Outlet 9b from the closed tank 9 to the closed loop circulation pipe 3
Since the pressure pump 4 is provided at substantially the same height as the pressure pump 4, there is a problem in that the power required to drive the pressure pump 4, that is, the operating cost, is still not sufficiently reduced.

That is, since the closed tank 9 is of a horizontal type, and its population 9a and outlet 9b are at approximately the same height,
During the separation operation of the liquid to be concentrated, the concentrated liquid flowing into the closed tank 9 from its population 9a is successively mixed with the entire liquid to be concentrated stored in the sealed tank 9, and the liquid to be concentrated with a high concentration of the liquid to be concentrated is After becoming a liquid, it is supplied to the reverse osmosis membrane tank 1 by the circulation pump 3. In other words, the concentration of the concentrated liquid supplied to the reverse osmosis membrane tank 1 is proportional to the elapse of the operating time. The pressure from the pressurizing pump 4 also increases.
Since the concentration of the liquid to be concentrated must increase in proportion to the passage of operating time, the power required to drive the pressurizing pump 4 increases.

In this case, the sealed tank is configured in a vertical shape, and an inlet for the concentrated liquid from the reverse osmosis membrane tank is provided at the bottom of the sealed tank, and an outlet for the concentrated liquid to the circulation pump is provided at the top of the sealed tank. With this configuration, the concentrated liquid entering the sealed tank from the reverse osmosis membrane tank accumulates at the bottom of the sealed tank, while the liquid to be concentrated in the sealed tank is pumped out by the circulation pump, but the concentrated liquid enters the sealed tank from the bottom of the sealed tank. The concentrated liquid flowing into the tank and the liquid to be concentrated in the closed tank hardly mix with each other due to the difference in concentration and specific gravity, and are separated into layers. The concentrated liquid flowing into the tank pushes up the concentrated liquid in the closed tank, so the concentrated liquid sent from the closed tank to the reverse osmosis membrane tank does not flow into the closed tank as in the prior art. The concentration does not increase immediately upon mixing with the concentrated liquid, and can be maintained at a low concentration until the concentrated liquid in the closed tank leaves.

As a result, the pressure of the liquid to be concentrated in the closed loop circulation pipe can remain at the initial pressure as long as the concentration of the liquid to be concentrated sent to the reverse osmosis membrane tank can be maintained at a low concentration as described above. Since there is no need to gradually increase the pressure as the operating time elapses as in the conventional technology, the power required to increase the pressure of the liquid to be concentrated in the closed loop circulation pipe can be reduced.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the pressurizing pump 4 is used as pressurizing means for increasing the pressure in the closed loop circulation pipe 3 including the closed tank 9, the circulation pump 3, and the reverse osmosis membrane tank 1. In this case, the pressure pump 4 was connected to the salt water supply pipe 5 to the upper part of the closed tank 9.
may be directly connected to the sealed tank 9 or the closed loop circulation pipe 3, and instead of the pressurizing pump 4, a bellows-type pump may be installed in the sealed tank 9 as shown in FIG. A diaphragm cylinder 21 may be provided, and a pressurizing means may be used to supply liquid such as hydraulic oil into the diaphragm cylinder 21 via a high-pressure pump 22 and a switching valve 23. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. As shown, a bag body 24 is placed inside the sealed tank 9 along its inner surface.
A pressurizing means may be provided in which a liquid such as hydraulic oil is supplied between the outside of the cough bag body 24 and the inside of the sealed tank 9 via the high-pressure pump 25 and the switching valve 26. In the case shown in FIG. 4, since the liquid to be concentrated does not come into contact with the inner surface of the closed tank 9, there is an advantage that the closed tank can be manufactured from inexpensive materials.
