  • Patent number: 11577204
    Abstract: A water treatment membrane washing apparatus includes two ozone dissolving tanks for storing filtrate generated by filtering raw water through a water treatment membrane and gas aspirators provided for the respective ozone dissolving tanks, for mixing the filtrate with ozone gas supplied from an ozone supply unit to generate ozone gas containing filtrate, and is configured such that waste ozone gas generated in one of the ozone dissolving tanks is aspirated by the gas aspirator provided for the other ozone dissolving tank. After the filtrate from the raw water is pretreated by being mixed with the waste ozone gas in the aspirator, the pretreated filtrate is mixed with the ozone gas in the other ozone dissolving tank until it reaches a predetermined concentration. The ozone gas containing filtrate is supplied from the secondary side of the water treatment membrane to the primary side thereof to wash the eater treatment membrane.

  • Patent number: 11219868
    Abstract: A cleaning device includes: an ozone gas supply portion; an ozone dissolution tank including a gas phase portion in which ozone gas is to be accumulated and a liquid phase portion formed by water in which the ozone gas is to be dissolved; a gas phase portion ozone gas supply pipe for supplying ozone gas from the ozone gas supply portion to the gas phase portion; a liquid phase portion ozone gas supply pipe for supplying ozone gas from the ozone gas supply portion to the liquid phase portion; and an ozone water supply pipe for supplying ozone water generated in the ozone dissolution tank to a filtering secondary side, wherein the ozone water is supplied to the filtering secondary side by the pressure of ozone gas in the gas phase portion.

  • Patent number: 8337767
    Abstract: An ozone generating apparatus having high reliability in which a glass tube can prevent from being damaged by melting a power feeding brush even if a large amount of short-circuit current flows. In an ozone generating apparatus using silent discharge, an alternating high voltage power is supplied from a power supply to a metal film formed in an inner wall of a glass tube by a power feeding brush comprising a brush shaft made of metal and a large number of metal thin wires fixed to the periphery of the brush shaft, the following equation satisfies. (D2/D1)?1/{1+(1/20?)}, wherein ‘D1’ indicates an outer diameter of a bundle of metal thin wires, ‘D2’ indicates an outer diameter of the brush shaft and ‘?’ indicates the line density of metal thin wires on a surface of the brush shaft.
