Patent number: 7704393Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a hollow fiber membrane module which maximizes the efficiency of removing scale-like contaminants generated at the water treatment using hollow fiber membranes, and a method of manufacturing the same. The hollow fiber membrane module includes hollow fiber membranes for making water treatment due to the pressure difference, and a collector fixing the hollow fiber membranes in bundle. A treated-water tube is extended to the inside of the collector, and communicated with the inner passage of the hollow fiber membranes to deliver the water treated through the hollow fiber membranes. A diffuser is installed at the collector to diffuse bubbles to the hollow fiber membranes. An air tube is extended to the collector, and connected to the diffuser to feed air. Dividers are installed over the collector to partition the hollow fiber membranes into a plurality of bundles.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2004Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Industry-Academic Cooperation FoundationInventors: Soo-Hong Noh, Oh-Sung Kwon, Jin-Ho Chang, Sang-Hoon Kim

Publication number: 20080302716Abstract: The present invention relates to a hollow fiber membrane module. The hollow fiber membrane module includes a central water pipe, a central air pipe, and a plurality of small modules. The small modules include a plurality of housings, a hollow fiber membrane, a fixing part, a collector, and a diffusing unit. The housings are vertically provided with the central water pipe, connected to the inlet and the outlet, and arranged along an external circumferential surface of the central water pipe. The hollow fiber membrane is provided in the respective housings and performs water treatment by a pressure difference. The fixing part fixes a lower part of the hollow fiber membrane to the housing. The collector is formed in a lower part of the housing and communicated with an inner path of the hollow fiber membrane to collect water treated by the hollow fiber membrane and flow it to the inlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2006Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Yonsei UniversityInventors: Soo-Hong Noh, Oh-Sung Kwon, Hee-Sung Park
