Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009132797A1] In order to clean filtration modules for the treatment of raw water or wastewater, or activated sludge, particles are circulated in the untreated water. As an alternative, a cleaning tank comprising a circulating fluid containing particles is provided for the temporary accommodation of the filtration module. The deposits located on the filter membrane outer surfaces, the so-called membrane fouling, are removed by the mechanical action of the particles, without damaging the membrane. Initially, untreated water, wastewater, or activated sludge is chemically-mechanically pretreated. Then the untreated water or wastewater polluted with biologically active material is discharged into the membrane bioreactor system, which has a filtration unit comprising at least one filtration tank. At least one submerged filtration membrane module is present in the filtration tank. The untreated water or wastewater in the filtration tank is filled with particles and circulates inside the filtration tank. The particles are non-porous, biologically resistant polymer particles.
