Description

Water quality measuring device

The present invention relates to a water quality measuring device for measuring the quality of pure water, ultrapure water, etc., and more particularly to a water quality measuring device for measuring the quality of water sampled from multiple water sampling points with a single water quality measuring device. The present invention particularly relates to a water quality measuring apparatus suitable for measuring the number of fine particles contained in pure water or ultrapure water.

The ultrapure water used for cleaning semiconductors is produced by an ultrapure water production system consisting of a pretreatment system, a primary pure water production system, and a subsystem (secondary pure water production system). , well water, etc.).

The subsystem includes a sub-tank, pump, heat exchanger, low-pressure ultraviolet oxidation device (UV device), ion exchange device and ultrafiltration membrane (UF membrane) separation device.

In the low-pressure ultraviolet oxidizer, TOC is decomposed into organic acids and further CO ₂ by ultraviolet rays of 185 nm emitted from a low-pressure ultraviolet lamp. Organic matter and CO ₂ produced by the decomposition are removed in the subsequent ion exchange unit. The ultrafiltration membrane separation device removes fine particles and also removes effluent particles from the ion exchange resin. The ultrapure water thus produced is delivered to the point of use.

Pure water and ultrapure water are used as cleaning and rinsing water in the process of manufacturing electronic components such as semiconductors. With the miniaturization of semiconductor integrated circuits, ultrapure water is required to further reduce the amount (concentration) of impurities in water and to manage water quality more strictly.

The number of fine particles is one of the water quality control items for ultrapure water, and it is required to manage fine particles with a particle size of several tens of nanometers on the order of <1/mL.

As described above, in the ultrapure water production equipment, in order to reduce the number of microparticles in the ultrapure water, microparticles with a particle size of several tens of nanometers can be removed at a high removal rate. Special UF membranes are used that are manufactured with care to prevent contamination and elution.

UF membranes currently used in this field are generally capable of processing about 10 m ³ /h per module (one piece). That is, in a facility that requires 100 m ³ /h of ultrapure water, parallel processing is performed around the above-described 10 UF membrane modules.

An advantage of parallel processing with a plurality of modules is that normal water quality can be maintained by disconnecting the module when a problem occurs in one module. For example, when producing 100 m ³ /h of ultrapure water, 11 UF membrane modules capable of producing 10 m ³ /h of treated water are installed in parallel, and even if one UF membrane module is separated, 100 m ³ /h is sufficient. If it is configured to be able to supply, even if a problem occurs in one UF membrane module (for example, the hollow fiber membrane breaks and the number of fine particles in the treated water increases, etc.), by separating this one UF membrane module, The water quality of ultrapure water can be maintained, and a treated water flow rate of 100 m ³ /h can also be maintained.

Another advantage of parallel processing with multiple modules is that it is possible to minimize deterioration of ultrapure water quality caused by initial elution components after module replacement. That is, if some of the modules installed in parallel are not replaced at the same time, but some of the modules are replaced, the deterioration of the ultrapure water quality caused by the initial elution can be reduced.

In a filtration system that performs parallel processing with multiple UF membrane modules, if a problem such as hollow fiber membrane breakage occurs in a certain UF membrane module and the number of fine particles in the filtered water increases, identify which module is causing the problem. Therefore, if a particle monitor is installed in each UF membrane module for constant monitoring, the number of particle monitors increases and the cost increases.

　Conventionally, the water quality is measured by introducing water flowing through multiple lines into a common measuring device via a preparative valve. For example, in Patent Document 1, ultrapure water from an ultrapure water line and concentrated water obtained by concentrating this ultrapure water with a reverse osmosis membrane separation device are switched by a valve and introduced into a common measurement device for analysis. is stated. Examples of analysis items include metal ion concentration, resistivity, number of fine particles, TOC concentration, silica concentration, and dissolved oxygen concentration (paragraph 0049).

When measuring the water quality by switching the flow path of the target water at multiple locations with a switching valve and sequentially introducing it into a common measurement device, there is a concern that the measurement accuracy will decrease if water that has accumulated in the flow path is mixed.

Patent Document 2 describes a method of maintaining measurement accuracy by providing a blow line and constantly blowing to avoid stagnation of target water.

JP 2010-44022 A JP 2014-185904 A

In the case of constant blowing as in Patent Document 2, the more parts to be measured, the greater the number of blow lines and the more complicated the surroundings of the measuring device. This increases the efficiency of ultrapure water production. If individual blow water amounts are reduced in order to reduce the overall blow water amount, the decrease in efficiency can be suppressed, but this does not lead to improvement in complexity around the measuring device.

The present invention avoids deterioration in measurement accuracy due to retention of target water, prevents deterioration in ultrapure water production efficiency due to an increase in the amount of blow water, and also avoids complication around the measurement device. An object of the present invention is to provide a water quality measuring device capable of

The water quality measuring device of the present invention is a water quality measuring device for measuring the water quality by introducing water to be measured for water quality sampled from a plurality of water sampling points via water sampling pipes into a common water quality measuring device, wherein each water sampling pipe a loop-shaped flow channel in which the downstream end of
and a water sampling valve provided in each water sampling pipe.

In one aspect of the present invention, the water quality measuring instrument is a fine particle counting instrument.

In one aspect of the present invention, n water sampling pipes (n is an integer of 2 or more) are provided, and the downstream ends of the first to n-th water sampling pipes are connected in this order to the loop-shaped flow path, The distance from the connection point of the first water sampling pipe to the loop-shaped channel to the connection point of the supply pipe, and the distance from the connection point of the n-th water sampling pipe to the loop-shaped channel to the connection point of the supply pipe is substantially the same as the distance of

In one aspect of the present invention, a discharge pipe through which the outflow water from the water quality measuring instrument flows is provided, and the discharge pipe is provided with a flow control valve.

An aspect of the present invention includes control means for controlling the water sampling valves to be opened in a predetermined order for a predetermined period of time.

The membrane filtration system of the present invention comprises membrane modules installed in parallel, supply means for supplying water to be treated to each membrane module through a common water supply pipe and branch pipes branched from it, and treated water from each membrane module. A membrane filtration system having a confluence pipe is provided with the water quality measuring device of the present invention, and the water quality measuring device is installed so as to measure at least the treated water of each membrane module.

In one aspect of the membrane filtration system of the present invention, the water quality measuring device is further installed so as to measure the water to be treated flowing through the common water supply pipe and the combined treated water flowing through the combined pipe.

According to the water quality measuring device of the present invention, the flow path from the water sampling point to the water sampling valve contains sampled water except during water quality measurement (when the water sampling valve is open and water is flowing through the water quality measuring instrument). However, in the common flow path from the water sampling valve to the downstream water quality measuring instrument, water always flows in both directions in the looped flow path, so water does not stagnate and the previous measurement It is possible to minimize the influence of residual target water and mixing of target water, and to obtain highly accurate water quality measurement values.

According to the water quality measuring device of the present invention, the amount of water discharged to the outside of the system is the amount of one point during water quality measurement, which is small. In addition, there are few pipes around the measuring device. When there are many water sampling points (for example, 20 or more), the effect of reducing the amount of discharged water and piping around the measuring device is very large.

In this embodiment, three UF membrane (ultrafiltration membrane)

modules

4a, 4b, and 4c are installed in the filtration unit, but it may be two or four or more.

The water to be treated, such as ion exchanger effluent of the subsystem (secondary pure water device), can be sent from a pipe 1 having a pump 2 to each UF module 4a to 4c via

branch pipes

3a, 3b, and 3c. It is Filtrated water that has passed through the UF membranes of the UF membrane modules 4a to 4c flows from the filtered

water pipes

5a, 5b, and 5c to the combined pipe 6 and is taken out as filtered water.

Water sampling points are set in the pipe 1 on the downstream side of the pump 2, the filtered

water pipes

5a, 5b, 5c, and the confluence pipe 6, respectively. Intake) water sampling pipes 10 to 14 are branched.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), the ends of each of the water sampling pipes 10 to 14 are connected to a looped pipe 20.

Valves

10V, 11V, 12V, 13V, and 14V consisting of on-off valves are provided as water sampling valves in the middle of each of the water sampling pipes 10-14.

In this embodiment, the loop-shaped pipe 20 has a substantially annular shape, and ends of the water sampling pipes 10 to 14 are connected to one half of the circle with the center of the circle interposed therebetween. Connection points of the water sampling pipes 10 to 14 to the looped pipe 20 are preferably equidistant in the circumferential direction of the circle. The distance from the connection point of the water sampling pipe 10 on the one end side in the winding direction to the connection point of the water sampling pipe 14 on the other end side is 10 to 80%, especially 20%, of the total length of the looped pipe 20 in the winding direction. It is preferably about 50%.

midway in the circulation direction between the connection point at the end of the water sampling pipe 10 on the one end side in the rotation direction and the connection point at the end of the water sampling pipe 14 on the other end side in the rotation direction (in this embodiment, the connection point at the end of the water sampling pipe 12); A measurement pipe 21 is connected on the opposite side across the center of the circle. Water flowing through the looped pipe 20 is introduced into the water quality measuring instrument 22 through the measuring pipe 21, and the water quality is measured. The measured waste water is discharged outside the system through a discharge pipe 23 having a flow control valve 24 .

Although a particle meter is used as the water quality measuring instrument 22 in this embodiment, various online water quality instruments such as a TOC meter and a sodium meter can also be used.

　The opening and closing of each valve 10V to 14V is automatically performed by the controller.

When the distance from the connection point between the water sampling pipe 10 and the loop-shaped pipe 20 to the connection point of the measurement pipe 21 (shorter distance in the winding direction) is 100%, the distance between the water sampling pipe 14 and the loop-shaped pipe 20 is 100%. The distance from the connection point to the connection point of the measurement pipe 21 (shorter distance in the winding direction) is preferably 10 to 45%, particularly 25 to 40%, but is not limited to this.

In the membrane filtration system configured as described above, the water to be treated is branched from the pipe 1 to the pipes 3a to 3c, membrane-filtered by each of the UF membrane modules 4a to 4c, and passed through the filtered water pipes 5a to 5c to join the pipes. It merges at 6, is taken out as filtered water, and is sent to the next process or point of use.

The water flowing through each

pipe

1, 5a, 5b, 5c, 6 is sampled in order or in a specific order, and the water quality is measured.

In one example of this embodiment, first, the valve 10V is opened for a predetermined period of time, and the water sampled from the pipe 1 on the downstream side of the pump 2 is allowed to flow into the water quality measuring instrument 22 through the pipe 10, the loop 20, and the pipe 21, Take water quality measurements. After that, the valve 10V is closed and the valve 11V is opened for a predetermined time. As a result, part of the filtered water from the UF membrane module 4a is separated from the filtered water pipe 5a, flows into the water quality measuring instrument 22 via the pipe 11, the looped pipe 20, and the pipe 21, and is filtered by the UF membrane module 4a. Water quality is measured.

After that, the valve 11V is closed, the valve 12V is opened for a predetermined time, and the water quality of the filtered water from the UF membrane module 4b is measured. Thereafter, the water quality measurement of the filtered water of the UF membrane module 4c and the water quality measurement of the combined filtered water are performed in the same manner. By repeating the above process as one cycle, the quality of the water to be treated, the filtered water from each UF membrane module, and the combined filtered water are sequentially measured. The order of measurement is not limited to this, and may be changed as appropriate, or the frequency of measurement at a specific water sampling point may be increased as described later.

According to the water quality measuring method using this water quality measuring device, the water flowing into the loop-shaped pipe 20 from any of the water sampling pipes 10 to 14 flows in one direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 1(b)) and It flows in both the other direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 1( b )), reaches the measurement pipe 21 , and is introduced into the water quality measuring instrument 22 .

Since the water flowing into the looped pipe 20 from one water sampling pipe (for example, the water sampling pipe 12) flows in both directions through the looped pipe 20, the water remaining in the looped pipe 20 at the time of the previous measurement ( In this case, the entire amount of the water from the water sampling pipe 11 is quickly pushed out to the pipe 23, and the water quality of the water sampled this time, which is not mixed with the previous water sample, can be measured. Moreover, the time required for measurement can be shortened.

When the water quality measurement of the water sampled from one water sampling pipe (for example, the water sampling pipe 12) is completed and the water quality measurement of the next water sampling (in this case, the water sampling from the water sampling pipe 13) is switched to, the sampling is started. Water remains in the water pipe 12, but water does not stay in the looped pipe 20, so the mixing in the next water sample is eliminated in a short time after switching.

With this water quality measurement device, the amount of water quality measurement wastewater is only the amount of water sampled from one water sampling pipe that is measuring water quality, and is a small amount.

In the water quality measuring apparatus of the present invention, the loop-shaped flow path 20 is designed to pass liquid so as not to flow in one direction due to the influence of the distance, and to quickly push out the water to be measured at the time of the previous measurement. It is preferable to design in consideration of the flow rate and the channel differential pressure generated under the flow rate conditions. More specifically, in the case of using a common smooth-surface flow path pipe, it is preferable to configure the flow path pipe so that the linear velocity is about 0.3 to 2.0 m/sec.

In the water quality measuring method using the water quality measuring device of the present invention, it is preferable to discard the data of the water quality measuring device 22 for a predetermined period of time after switching the valves 10V to 14V. This is because when the valve is switched, dust generation and elution may occur due to the operation of the valve. Since changes in water quality due to these influences are not changes in water quality that should be monitored, the accuracy of water quality measurement results can be improved by rejecting data for a predetermined period of time after switching the valve.

In addition, when the water quality to be monitored is the number of fine particles and the water quality measuring device is a laser light scattering type fine particle meter, it is preferable to turn off the laser and suspend the water quality measurement for the above-mentioned predetermined time. By suspending water quality measurement, it is possible to extend the apparent life of the expensive laser light source (period of use including the period of suspension of measurement) and reduce maintenance costs.

In the water quality measurement method using the water quality measurement device of the present invention, it is preferable to average the obtained water quality measurement results. That is, as described above, in order to avoid the influence of water quality fluctuations caused by the opening and closing operation of the valve, even if the data for the predetermined time after the valve switching is discarded, the influence time is not necessarily clear, so the predetermined time has passed. It is possible that there are still repercussions. Therefore, by averaging and handling a plurality of data obtained after a predetermined period of time until the next switching, this influence can be leveled or minimized, and the reliability of the measurement result is improved.

In the water quality measuring device of the present invention, the function of judging whether the water quality measurement result is good or bad and the function of switching the flow path using an automatic valve or the like are used together, and based on the water quality measurement result If it is determined that the water treatment equipment is

As a specific configuration of such a mechanism, the number of fine particles in the filtered water of a plurality of UF membrane modules is measured by an online fine particle monitor, and when the number of fine particles exceeds a predetermined number, the corresponding UF membrane module All or any of the automatic valves installed in the water supply, treated water, and concentrated water pipes are closed to avoid deterioration of the ultrapure water quality.

In the water quality measuring method using the water quality measuring device of the present invention, if it is desired to adjust the flow rate or the pressure in the system, a pressure gauge, a flow meter (not shown), and a flow control valve 24 are provided downstream of the water quality measuring instrument 22. It is preferable to dispose and appropriately adjust the pressure and flow rate. By installing these devices on the downstream side of the water quality measuring instrument, it is possible to adjust the flow rate and pressure to a predetermined level, and the influence of dust generation due to the operation of the flow control valve 24 and the inside of the pressure gauge and flow meter can avoid the influence of the stagnant part.

Alternatively, the opening of the flow control valve 24 installed downstream of the water quality measuring instrument may be throttled to apply back pressure to the water quality measuring instrument. As a result, when the dissolved gas component is decompressed, it can be prevented from forming bubbles and being erroneously detected as fine particles, leading to an improvement in measurement accuracy.

In this embodiment, not only the treated water from multiple UF membrane modules, but also the combined water and water quality of the feed water are measured. Therefore, for example, in a facility that conventionally monitors only combined water with one online particle monitor, by adopting the configuration of the present invention, one online particle monitor can be used to monitor the treated water of a plurality of water treatment equipment. can be monitored as well as confluence water can be monitored as before. In addition, by monitoring the water supply, in the event of an emergency such as an increase in the number of particles, changes in the number of particles in the water supply can be immediately confirmed, so the time required to narrow down the cause of the increase in the number of particles can be shortened.

With the water quality measuring device of the present invention, if there are a large number of water treatment devices such as UF membrane modules, there is a concern that the interval between measurements of combined water will become excessively long. In such a case, it can be improved by increasing the number of times the combined water is measured. For example, 10 UF membrane modules A to J are installed in parallel, and when measuring a total of 11 types of water quality of filtered water W1 to W10 of each module and combined water WM, each filtered water W1 to W10 Measurement of the merged water WM may be interposed between the measurements. That is, the order of water to be measured is W1→WM→W2→WM→W3→WM→ .

The W1 to W10 measurements may be divided into a plurality of groups, and the WM measurement may be interposed between each group. For example, in the case of two groups, the order of W1->W2->W3->W4->W5->WA->W6->W7->W8->W9->W10->WM is repeated as one cycle.

In this way, the measurement frequency of some target water can be made higher than other target water.

[Example 1]
The apparatus of the present invention was incorporated into an ultrapure water production subsystem having three UF membrane modules installed in parallel, and the number of fine particles in the UF membrane module feed water, each UF membrane module filtered water, and combined filtered water was measured.

As shown in Fig. 2, the overall configuration of this subsystem is subtank → subpump → ultraviolet oxidizer (UV) → [non-regenerative ion exchange device filled with anion exchange resin] → degassing membrane → [cation exchange resin and Non-regenerative ion exchange device mixed and filled with anion exchange resin]→UF membrane modules ( ^three units in parallel)→point of use.

There are five water sampling points: UF membrane module outlets S1, S2, and S3, point-of-use feeding (merged water of UF membrane-treated water) S4, and pump outlet S5.

As the water sampling valve for the water quality measurement system, an air-driven 5-station manifold type branch valve (CKD's air operated valve for chemical liquids GAMDZ3R-6UR-Z05W) was used.

As schematically shown in FIG. 3, this air operated valve 30 is provided with five inlets and two outlets. Two outlets are located at opposite ends of the valve body. Each inlet faces a water channel 31 connecting two outlets via open/close valves V1 to V5.

Each inflow port was connected to water sampling points S1 to S5 by a tube. The tip of the tube 32 was connected to one outlet of the water channel 31, and the tip of the tube 33 was connected to the other outlet. The rear end of tube 32 was connected to first inlet 34 a of T-shaped connector 34 , and the rear end of tube 33 was connected to second inlet 34 b of T-shaped connector 34 . An on-line particle counter 36 was connected via a tube 35 to the outlet 34c of the T-shaped connector.

By connecting the air operated valve 30, the

tubes

32, 33, and the T-shaped connector 34 as described above, a loop-like structure composed of the water passage 31, the tube 32, the T-shaped connector 34, and the tube 33 inside the air operated valve 30 is formed. A flow path was constructed. The length of the

tubes

32, 33 was 300 mm, and the total length of the loop-shaped channel was about 800 mm.

As the online particle counter 36, K-LAMIC-KS2 manufactured by Kurita Water Industries was used.

A flow control valve (4601-F4P, manufactured by Flowell) 37 was installed on the outlet side of the particle counter 36 to adjust the flow rate to about 1 L/min.

A PFA tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm was used as each of the above tubes. As a connector, 60 series (flare joint) manufactured by Flowell was used.

Air-operated valves, PFA tubes, and connectors were chemically cleaned (passed with 40 mg/L choline hydroxide solution for 2 hours) and rinsed (passed with ultrapure water for 2 hours) in advance.

The order of measurement of the number of fine particles is as follows: first UF membrane-treated water (S1) → second UF membrane-treated water (S2) → third UF membrane-treated water (S3) → use point feed (S4) → sub-pump outlet ( The order of S5) was repeated, and the measurement was repeated. The valves V1 to V5 of the air operated valve 30 were switched at intervals of 2 hours, and the number of particles measured by the on-line particle counter 36 was continuously and repeatedly measured at intervals of 20 minutes.

During the switching interval of 2 hours (120 minutes), 6 fine particle count measurement results were acquired every 20 minutes. The average value of the two results was calculated and treated as the number of fine particles in the target water.

Fig. 5 shows the measurement results. The solid line shows the results of measuring the number of fine particles (>0.05 μm fine particles) every 20 minutes. indicated by .

As shown in FIG. 5, the number of fine particles was >100 cells/mL were repeatedly confirmed.

In addition, during the time when the water quality of each UF membrane-treated water S1 to S3 and the point-of-use feed water S4 was being measured, the number of fine particles <10/mL was repeatedly confirmed.

In the interval of 10 to 28 hours when the switching timing of the air operated valve 30 and the interval of fine particle count measurement are slightly different, two 20 minute measurements result in a high fine particle count, and the maximum value is 1. Although the average value after point rejection varied, a stable result of <1 cell/mL was repeatedly confirmed after 30 hours after the timing was corrected.

From the above results, according to the water quality measuring device of the present invention, even when there are water sampling points where the number of fine particles differs by a factor of 100 or more, the measurement results at other water sampling points are not affected. It was observed that levels of <1 particle/mL of particles less than 0.05 μm could be monitored.

[Example 2]
Twenty UF membrane modules were installed in parallel, four air operated valves (five manifold type switching valves) 30 were connected in series as shown in FIG. 4, and each of the twenty UF membrane modules The same method as in Example 1 was performed except that water sampling points S1 to S20 were provided in the outflow part and the filtered water of each UF membrane module was connected to the four air operated valves 30 so that the water was measured. A fine particle count was performed.

The number of fine particles in the filtered water from S1 to S20 was measured sequentially to make one cycle, and the number of fine particles was measured for 6 cycles. The results are shown in FIG.

The bar graph shows the average value of the measurement results of 1 to 6 cycles, the upper end of the error bar shows the maximum value of the measurement results of 1 to 6 cycles, and the lower end shows the minimum value.

In addition, the measurement result of each cycle was taken as the average value after the number of fine particles was measured six times for 20 minutes during the two-hour switching interval of the water sampling points, and the maximum value was discarded.

From the above results, even under conditions where there are 20 water sampling points and the water quality measurement interval at each point is 38 hours, reproducibility is achieved within a range of variation of about 0.2 / mL. It was confirmed that the number of fine particles can be measured.
Although the present invention has been described in detail using specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-101691 filed on June 18, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
