Description

The present invention relates to a clarification device for filtering water.

Clarification devices that use filters to filter water have been known for some time. In such devices, multiple cylindrical filters are placed inside a filtration tank, separating the flow path through which raw water to be filtered flows from the flow path through which filtered treated water flows. The raw water is treated by passing it through the filters, and the treated water is then supplied to the secondary side. The clarification device supplies raw water from the top of the filtration tank and discharges treated water from the bottom of the filtration tank.

In this type of clarification device, raw water flows in from the base of the filter, where filtration loss is lowest, and so filter clogging progresses upward from the base of the filter. However, as filter clogging progresses, it leads to a decrease in filtration flow rate and an increase in filtration loss. For example, Figure 12 shows the relationship between filtration loss and the cumulative flow rate of raw water passing through the filter. Figure 12 also shows the change in filtration loss when eight 10-inch filters with a nominal membrane filtration diameter of 0.1 μm are placed in a filtration tank and raw water with a turbidity of 10 degrees is filtered at a treatment filtration flow rate of 15 L/min.

Figure 12 also shows that filtration loss increases as the cumulative flow rate of raw water passing through the filter increases. This means that the filter needs to be replaced before it becomes completely clogged, which increases the number of times the filter needs to be replaced, resulting in higher running costs.

Filter clogging can be monitored by detecting the filtration flow rate and differential pressure as filtration loss. However, as filter clogging progresses, the filtration flow rate and filtration loss change in a quadratic curve. Delaying filter replacement carries the risk of a significant drop in filtration flow rate and an increase in differential pressure, so filter replacement must be performed when the filter is still not significantly clogged.

Therefore, a technology is known in which multiple filters are installed in parallel, and high-load filtration is performed by setting a high filtration flow rate for only selected filters, and the filtration flow rate of low-load filters is controlled based on the amount of water passed through the high-load filters until the quality of the treated water deteriorates (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Patent No. 6288319

However, the above-mentioned technology requires additional equipment such as water quality measuring instruments and control devices. Furthermore, if the filters become clogged, all of the filters must be replaced. This results in problems such as high manufacturing and running costs for the clarification device.

The present invention therefore aims to provide a clarification device that can reduce costs.

A clarification device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a filtration tank, a partition plate separating the filtration tank into a first chamber on the raw water side and a second chamber on the treated water side, a first filter group provided in the first chamber and having a plurality of first filters whose secondary sides are connected to the second chamber, a second filter group provided in the first chamber and having a plurality of second filters, a connecting pipe connecting the outlets of the plurality of second filters, and piping connecting the connecting pipe and the second chamber, wherein the partition plate has a first opening for connecting the piping and a plurality of second openings for fixing the first filters, the outlet portion of the first filter being inserted into the second opening, one end of the piping being connected to the connecting pipe, and the other end of the piping being fixed to the first opening .

The present invention provides a clarification device that can reduce costs.

As shown in FIG. 3, the clarification device 1 includes a filter tank 11, a partition plate 12, a first filter group 13, a connecting pipe 14, a plate 15, piping 16, a second filter group 17, and fastening members 18. The clarification device 1 clarifies raw water supplied from the primary side into the filter tank 11 using the first filter group 13 and the second filter group 17, and discharges the treated water to the secondary side.

As shown in Figure 3, the filter tank 11 has a partition plate 12 installed inside. The partition plate 12 divides the internal space of the filter tank 11 into a first chamber 11a through which raw water flows and a second chamber 11b through which treated water flows.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the filtration tank 11 includes, for example, a raw water filtration tank 21 and a treated water filtration tank 22. The filtration tank 11 houses a partition plate 12, a first filter group 13, a connecting pipe 14, a plate 15, piping 16, a second filter group 17, and fastening members 18.

The raw water side filtration tank 21 comprises a cylindrical first body 21a, a cover 21b covering the upper end of the first body 21a, a raw water inlet 21c provided in the first body 21a, and flanges 21d provided on both ends of the first body 21a.

The cover 21b is dome-shaped or hemispherical, and has a flange 21b1 at its end that is fixed to the flange 21d of the first body 21a.

The raw water inlet 21c is provided in the first body 21a. The raw water inlet 21c is formed, for example, in a tubular shape with a flange 21c1. The raw water inlet 21c is connected to a pipe on the water supply source side (primary side) that supplies raw water.

The treated water side filtration tank 22 comprises a cylindrical second body 22a, a bottom body 22b covering the lower end of the second body 22a, a treated water outlet 22c provided in the second body 22a, and a flange 22d provided at the upper end of the second body 22a.

The axial dimension (height) of the second body 22a is smaller than the axial dimension (height) of the first body 21a. That is, the volume of the first chamber 11a of the filtration tank 11 is larger than the volume of the second chamber 11b. The bottom body 22b closes the lower end of the second body 22a.

The treated water outlet 22c is provided in the second body 22a. The treated water outlet 22c is formed, for example, in a tubular shape with a flange 22c1. The treated water outlet 22c is connected to a pipe on the supply side (secondary side) that supplies treated water.

The partition plate 12 divides the interior of the filter tank 11 into two chambers, a first chamber 11a and a second chamber 11b. The partition plate 12 is formed, for example, in a circular plate shape, and is fixed by being sandwiched between a flange 21d of the first body 21a and a flange 22d of the second body 22a in a liquid-tight manner using a flange seal or the like. The partition plate 12 includes, for example, a first opening 12a through which the piping 16 is disposed, a second opening 12b through which a plurality of first filters 13a (described later) of the first filter group 13 are fixed, and a fastening portion 12c to which a fastening member 18 is fastened.

The first opening 12a is formed so that the piping 16 can be connected. For example, the first opening 12a is formed in a cylindrical shape that protrudes upward when the partition plate 12 is attached to the filtration tank 11. The first opening 12a also has, for example, a female thread portion 12d formed on the inner surface as a means for fixing the piping 16.

When the partition plate 12 is attached to the filter tank 11, the second opening 12b is formed, for example, as a cylindrical shape with a bottom 12f that protrudes downward and has an opening 12e formed in the center. The number of second openings 12b is the same as the number of first filters 13a. The second openings 12b are arranged at equal intervals circumferentially around the center of the partition plate 12. The inner diameter of the opening 12e formed in the bottom 12f of the second opening 12b is smaller than the outer diameter of the discharge portion 33 of the first filter 13a, but larger than the inner diameter of the discharge portion 33.

The fastening portion 12c is, for example, a screw hole with a female thread formed therein.

The first filter group 13 includes a plurality of first filters 13a. The plurality of first filters 13a are arranged in a circumferentially spaced arrangement on the partition plate 12. The plurality of first filters 13a are arranged in a line with a gap between them at the center, allowing for placement of the piping 16 in the center. Each first filter 13a is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape with one end closed and the other open. Each first filter 13a includes an outer casing 31 having a plurality of holes 31a formed on its exterior, a filtering member 32 disposed within the outer casing 31 and covering the plurality of holes 31a, a cylindrical discharge portion 33 formed integrally with the outer casing 31 and having smaller outer and inner diameters than the outer casing 31, and a ring-shaped gasket 34, such as an O-ring, disposed on the outer surface of the discharge portion 33.

The filtration member 32 filters the raw water that has passed through the multiple holes 31a provided in the outer shell 31 and passes the water to the discharge port 33. The filtration member 32 is, for example, a hollow fiber membrane filter and includes a prefilter and a hollow fiber membrane body. The prefilter is provided inside the outer shell 31 and covers the multiple holes 31a. The hollow fiber membrane body filters the raw water that has passed through the prefilter. The hollow fiber membrane body is disposed inside the prefilter. Note that the filtration member 32 may be configured to include only the hollow fiber membrane body without a prefilter. Furthermore, while the filtration member 32 uses a hollow fiber membrane filter in the example shown, this is not limited to this and a general-purpose filter may also be used. In other words, the filtration member 32 is not limited to a specific type or shape as long as it is capable of filtering raw water, and various filters can be used.

The outer shell 31 is formed with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the second opening 12b. The outer shell 31 has a protrusion 31b at the end opposite the discharge portion 33, the protrusion 31b having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the outer shell 31. The discharge portion 33 is formed with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the second opening 12b of the partition plate 12, and is inserted into the second opening 12b. One or more gaskets 34 are provided on the outer surface of the discharge portion 33. The gaskets 34 are in close contact with the outer surface of the discharge portion 33 and the inner surface of the second opening 12b, providing a liquid-tight seal between the outer surface of the discharge portion 33 and the inner surface of the second opening 12b.

The connecting pipe 14 joins the flow paths of treated water discharged from the second filter group 17 and supplies it to the secondary side. The connecting pipe 14 fixedly supports the second filter group 17. The connecting pipe 14 also holds the upper ends of the multiple first filters 13a held by the partition plate 12.

As a specific example, the connecting pipe 14 includes a cylindrical body 41, a top plate 42 formed at one end of the body 41, and a bottom plate 43 formed at the other end of the body 41. The top plate 42 is formed in a flat plate shape. The top plate 42 includes an eye plate 42a on its outer surface and third openings 42b for securing multiple second filters 17a.

The eye plate 42a is configured so that the connecting pipe 14 and each component fixed to the connecting pipe 14 can be hoisted and lifted using a crane or the like.

The third opening 42b is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape that protrudes upward from the top plate 42 when the connecting pipe 14 is positioned within the filter tank 11. The third openings 42b are provided in the same number as the multiple second filters 17a (described later) of the second filter group 17. The third openings 42b are arranged at equal intervals circumferentially around the center of the partition plate 12. The inner diameter of the third opening 42b is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the discharge portion 53 of the second filter 17a so that the discharge portion 53 (described later) of the second filter 17a can be inserted, and the gasket 54 (described later) of the second filter 17a tightly contacts the third opening 42b to hold the second filter 17a.

The bottom plate 43 is formed in a disk shape and has a cylindrical pipe section 43a in its center that extends downward in a position where the connecting pipe 14 is positioned within the filtration tank 11. The bottom plate 43 also abuts against protrusions 31b formed on the outer casing 31 of the multiple first filters 13a, thereby holding the multiple first filters 13a together with the partition plate 12. The pipe section 43a is connected to the piping 16 and is a connector that fluidly connects the connecting pipe 14 and the piping 16. The pipe section 43a joins the treated water from the multiple second filters 17a and guides it to the piping 16. The pipe section 43a extends vertically in a circular pipe shape.

The plate 15 is fastened to the partition plate 12 via fastening members 18. The plate 15 is fixed to the partition plate 12 with the fastening members 18, for example, in a state in which the first filter group 13, connecting pipe 14, piping 16, and second filter group 17 can be arranged between the plate 15 and the partition plate 12. The plate 15 has, for example, a fourth opening 15a formed in the center, multiple fifth openings 15b formed around the fourth opening 15a, and multiple sixth openings 15c provided on the outer periphery. For example, the plate 15 is formed in a polygonal or circular plate shape. In the example of this embodiment, the plate 15 is formed in a hexagonal plate shape with a chamfered top.

The fourth opening 15a is a hole that supplies raw water to the space on the inner surface of the plate 15.

The fifth opening 15b is an opening that holds the second filter 17a. For example, the fifth opening 15b has an inner diameter that is the same as or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the protrusion 51b on the outer body 51 of the second filter 17a, and by positioning the protrusion 51b on the outer body 51, the plate 15 holds the upper end of the second filter 17a.

The sixth openings 15c are arranged, for example, at equal intervals around the circumferential direction of the plate 15. The sixth openings 15c are formed with an inner diameter that allows the fastening member 18 to be inserted.

The piping 16 extends in one direction. One end (upper end) of the piping 16 engages with the tubular portion 43a of the connecting pipe 14, and the other end (lower end) of the piping 16 engages with the first opening 12a of the partition plate 12. Specifically, one end of the piping 16 has a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tubular portion 43a so that it can be inserted into the tubular portion 43a, and has one or more O-ring gaskets 16a on its outer surface. The length of the one end of the piping 16 inserted into the tubular portion 43a varies depending on the length of the second filter group 17 disposed between the partition plate 12 and the connecting pipe 14. The other end of the piping 16 has a male threaded portion 16b on its outer surface that threads with the female threaded portion 12d formed in the first opening 12a of the partition plate 12, and a multi-sided flange 16c for rotating the piping 16. For example, the multi-sided flange 16c is a six-sided flange. The flow resistance of this piping 16 is greater than the flow resistance of the second chamber 11b. In another example, the pipe portion 43a may be inserted into the piping 16 to fluidly connect the connecting pipe 14 and the piping 16.

The second filter group 17 includes a plurality of second filters 17a. The second filters 17a are arranged in a circumferentially spaced arrangement on the connecting pipe 14. Each second filter 17a is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape with one end closed and the other end open. Each second filter 17a includes an outer casing 51 having a plurality of holes 51a formed on its exterior, a filter member 52 disposed within the outer casing 51 and covering the plurality of holes 51a, a cylindrical discharge portion 53 formed integrally with the outer casing 51 and having smaller outer and inner diameters than the outer casing 51, and a ring-shaped gasket 54, such as an O-ring, disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the discharge portion 53. For example, the second filter 17a may have the same configuration as the first filter 13a, but its axial length may differ from that of the first filter 13a.

The filtration member 52 filters the raw water that has passed through the multiple holes 51a in the outer shell 51 and passes it to the discharge port 53. The filtration member 52 is, for example, a hollow fiber membrane filter and includes a prefilter and a hollow fiber membrane body. The prefilter is located inside the outer shell 51 and covers the multiple holes 51a. The hollow fiber membrane body filters the raw water that has passed through the prefilter. The hollow fiber membrane body is located inside the prefilter. Note that the filtration member 52 may be configured to include only the hollow fiber membrane body without a prefilter. Also, while the filtration member 52 uses a hollow fiber membrane filter in this example, it is not limited to this and may be configured to use a general-purpose filter. In other words, the filtration member 52 is not limited to a specific type or shape as long as it is capable of filtering raw water, and various filters can be used.

The outer shell 51 is formed with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the third opening 42b of the connecting pipe 14. The outer shell 51 has a protrusion 51b at the end opposite the discharge portion 53, the protrusion 51b having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the outer shell 51. The discharge portion 53 is formed with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the third opening 42b and is inserted into the third opening 42b. One or more gaskets 54 are provided on the outer surface of the discharge portion 53. The gaskets 54 are in close contact with the outer surface of the discharge portion 53 and the inner surface of the third opening 42b, providing a liquid-tight seal between the outer surface of the discharge portion 53 and the inner surface of the third opening 42b.

A plurality of fastening members 18 are provided to secure the partition plate 12 and plate 15. For example, the fastening members 18 include two screw bolts 18a and a nut 18b. Both screw bolts 18a have male threads on both ends. One end of each screw bolt 18a is threaded into a fastening portion 12c, which is a threaded hole in the partition plate 12. The other end of each screw bolt 18a is inserted into a sixth opening 15c in the plate 15, and a nut 18b is tightened.

In the clarification device 1 configured in this manner, the first filter group 13 and piping 16 are fixed to the partition plate 12 fixed to the filtration tank 11, and the piping 16 and second filter group 17 are liquid-tightly and fluidly connected to the connecting pipe 14. The second filter group 17 is also fixed to the connecting pipe 14. Then, with the protrusions 51b of the multiple second filters 17a of the second filter group 17 positioned in the fifth opening 15b of the plate 15, the partition plate 12 and the plate 15 are fastened together with fastening members 18 in a direction in which they approach each other. As a result, the partition plate 12 forms a first chamber 11a and a second chamber 11b within the filtration tank 11, and the first chamber 11a is connected to the second chamber 11b via the first filter group 13 and the second filter group 17.

Next, the flow of water within this clarification device 1 will be explained. The water flow is indicated by arrows in Figure 3. First, when raw water to be clarified is supplied from the raw water inlet 21c, the raw water moves into the first chamber 11a and moves from the top to the bottom of the first chamber 11a. At this time, the raw water passes through each first filter 13a in the first filter group 13 and each second filter 17a in the second filter group 17. The raw water is filtered by passing through the first filter 13a and the second filter 17a.

The treated water filtered by the first filter 13a moves from the discharge port 33 of the first filter 13a to the second chamber 11b. The treated water filtered by each second filter 17a then joins in the connecting pipe 14 and moves to the second chamber 11b via the piping 16. The treated water that joins in the second chamber 11b then moves to the secondary side from the treated water outlet 22c.

With the clarification device 1 configured in this manner, each first filter 13a of the first filter group 13, located at the bottom of the filtration tank 11, is mounted on the partition plate 12 and connected to the second chamber 11b, while each second filter 17a of the second filter group 17, located at the top of the filtration tank 11, is connected to the second chamber 11b via the connecting pipe 14 and piping 16. Therefore, when treated water that has passed through multiple second filters 17a moves to the second chamber 11b, it passes through the piping 16, which has a higher flow resistance than the second chamber 11b. In other words, the first filter group 13 and the second filter group 17 are arranged in a countercurrent direction to the flow of raw water within the filtration tank 11.

A larger amount of raw water is processed in the first filter group 13 than in the second filter group 17. Therefore, each first filter 13a in the first filter group 13 will become clogged before each second filter 17a in the second filter group 17.

As a result, even if each first filter 13a in the first filter group 13 becomes clogged, the second filter group 17 becomes clogged more slowly. Therefore, when it is time to replace the filters, it is possible to replace the first filter group 13 without replacing the second filter group 17.

In other words, when the multiple filters 13a, 17a become increasingly clogged and filtration loss increases, it is sufficient to replace the first filter 13a of the first filter group 13 that has become clogged among the multiple filters 13a, 17a used in the clarification device 1. Therefore, after filter replacement, the second filter 17a of the second filter group 17 that was in use can be reused. Furthermore, rotary operation is also possible, in which a second filter 17a that is not significantly clogged is installed in the first filter group 13 at the time of filter replacement.

As described above, the clarification device 1 reduces the number of filter replacements, thereby reducing running costs. Furthermore, the clarification device 1, which has such a first filter group 13 and second filter group 17, has a simple configuration in which the flow resistance of the pipe 16 through which treated water treated by the second filter group 17 flows is smaller than the flow resistance of the second chamber 11b. Therefore, when treated by the clarification device 1, the integrated flow rate of the first filter group 13 can be made greater than the integrated flow rate of the second filter group 17. Therefore, the clarification device 1 can prevent high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, because the clarification device 1 can perform treatment without the need for additional equipment such as water quality measuring instruments or control devices, increases in costs, including manufacturing costs, equipment costs, and running costs, can be prevented.

The partition plate 12 is also fixed by being sandwiched between the flanges 21d, 22d of the raw water side filtration tank 21 and the treated water side filtration tank 22 of the filtration tank 11. Therefore, the partition plate 12 can be disassembled from the filtration tank 11. For example, when the filters 13a, 17a are removed, there is a risk that a small amount of raw water may flow into the second chamber 11b, such as the treated water side filtration tank 22. However, by making the partition plate 12 disassemblable, it becomes possible to clean the second chamber 11b (the partition plate 12 and treated water side filtration tank 22).

The piping 16 has a gasket 16a on the outer periphery of the connection portion with the connecting pipe 14 and is configured to be inserted into the pipe portion 43a of the connecting pipe 14. This allows the insertion length of the piping 16 into the pipe portion 43a of the connecting pipe 14 to be changed. In other words, the clarification device 1 allows the distance from the partition plate 12 and the connecting pipe 14 to the bottom plate 43 to be changed. This allows the first filter group 13 to use multiple types of first filters 13a with different axial lengths. In other words, by configuring the piping 16 in this way, it is possible to accommodate different lengths of the first filters 13a while still connecting the partition plate 12 and the connecting pipe 14. Furthermore, when replacing the filters, the connecting pipe 14 can be easily removed from above the filtration tank 11, facilitating the replacement of the first filter group 13.

As described above, the clarification device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention provides a first filter group 13 and a second filter group 17, and connects the second filter group 17 to the second chamber 11b via a pipe 16 that has a higher flow resistance than the second chamber 11b, thereby reducing costs.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made in the implementation stage without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments may be implemented in appropriate combinations, in which case the combined effects can be obtained. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments include various inventions, and various inventions can be extracted by combining selected elements from the disclosed elements. For example, if the problem can be solved and the desired effect can be obtained even if some elements are deleted from all elements shown in the embodiments, the configuration from which these elements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
