  • Publication number: 20110132830
    Abstract: A filtration equipment of hollow fiber membrane of external pressure type in which pressure is applied to raw liquid from outside of hollow fiber membranes housed in a casing to cause filtrate to pass inside the hollow fiber membranes is provided. The filtration equipment may include a pair of hollow fiber filtration membrane modules in which raw liquid supply channels are connected to a shared raw liquid supply header pipe via on-off valves, filtrate discharge channels which are connected to a shared filtrate discharge header pipe having an on-off valve, and return raw liquid channels which are connected to a shared return raw liquid header pipe via on-off valves, wherein on-off operations of the on-off valves allow mutual backwash between the pair of hollow fiber filtration membrane modules.

  • Patent number: 6592152
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a joint structure between a filtration apparatus and a filtration membrane module, which is characterized in that a cap with a pipe is disposed on at least one end of a filtration membrane module using a cap nut capable of being screwed into a thread groove formed on the outer periphery of the end thereof, said pipe of the cap being inserted into and pressed against one end of a joint capable of controlling connection length at both ends, and a branch pipe of a header pipe of the filtration apparatus being inserted into and pressed against the other end of said joint. According to the present invention, there can be obtained such a joint structure that requires fewer components for connection, has a simple construction at connections, and does not cause any leakage.
