09-07-2009 5/14 Experimental setup Syringe pumps PLC controller Membrane module
09-07-2009 6/14 Material : - UF membrane : UFC M5 0.8, Norit X-Flow - Pumps : 1 NE1010 pump (backwashing), 1 DUAL-NE1010 (continuous filtration) Filtration protocol : - 1 cycle : 30 s filtration purge (120 or 240 l/(m^2.h)) 15 min filtration (120 or 240 l/(m^2.h)) 1 min backwash purge (2 x filtration flux) 1 min backwash (2 x filtration flux) - 1 experiment : 14 cycles tableau valves Explication cycles
09-07-2009 7/14 3.Results • Interpretation of the results :
09-07-2009 8/14 • Feed : Sea water (from den Haag and Zeeland) • Backwash :demi water and UF permeate • Flux : 120 l/(m^2.h)
09-07-2009 9/14 • Feed : Sea water • Backwash :demi water and UF permeate • Flux : 120 l/(m^2.h) and 240 l/(m^2.h)
09-07-2009 10/14 • Feed : Sea water • Backwash :demi water and UF permeate • Flux : 240 l/(m^2.h)
09-07-2009 11/14 • Feed : sea water • Backwash :demi water and UF permeate • Flux :180 l/(m^2.h)
09-07-2009 12/14 • Feed : 2,5 mg/l Alginic acid + 3 mmol NaCl • Backwash :demi water and UF permeate • Flux :240 l/(m^2.h)
09-07-2009 13/14 4. Conclusion • For sea water, backwashing with demi water is also more efficient than backwashing with UF permeate • The higher the filtration flux is, the more fouling we can observe
09-07-2009 14/14 5. Recommendation • More experiments should be conducted for alginic acid solution • Tap water should be tested to check whether it can replace demi water for sea water application (cheaper)
