Effects of Module Configuration on Hollow Fiber Filtration Fouling and Permeability

Abstract:

In the present study, an orthogonal array design was adopted to investigate effects of operational parameters including aeration intensity, membrane configuration and fiber length on membrane fouling in a lab scale. Mean membrane permeability decrease rate over the operation time was used to evaluate membrane fouling rate (MFR). In a constant pressure filtration mode of 15kPa, fiber length and aeration intensity were found to have a negative influence on MFR，and membrane configuration also had an obvious influence on MFR. The three factors in influencing MFR is in the order of fiber length>module configuration>aeration intensity. The experiments results also showed that the mean specific permeability displayed a slightly rise in the range of 60-100cm and the modules of two permeate outlet attain the best mean specific permeability in all the modules. According to this work, it show that membrane module design have a significance on membrane optimization.
