Membrane station
In the application example shown the membranes are installed on a type of station. The integrated suction pump draws the water uniformly through the membrane and supplies it to a treated water tank through a filtrate hose. To guarantee over time a high flow rate the membrane is periodically flushed with an integrated backwash pump. The required volume for backwash water is taken by the system out of the backwash tank which is found above the pumps. Furthermore the membrane will be periodically blown clean with air directed through the fibres to remove deposits. To this end the membrane station is connected to a blower through a hose attachment. The air is uniformly distributed through a connection manifold with symmetric connections and supplies simultaneously the bioreactor with oxygen. For larger water treatment systems multiple membrane stations can be connected in parallel.
