A method of backwashing a membrane filtration system comprising at least one permeable membrane, preferably a hollow fiber membrane, the method comprising the step of applying a pressurized gas at a variable pressure to permeate remaining present in the system when filtration process is stopped or suspended to provide liquid for backwashing pores of the permeable membrane during a backwashing process. Also provided are methods of filtering solids from a liquid suspension using alternating liquid backwash pressures.
1. A method of filtering solids from a liquid suspension in a filtration system comprising: performing a filtration process including providing a pressure differential across a wall of a permeable hollow membrane to induce and sustain filtration through the wall of the permeable hollow membrane;susp
1. A method of filtering solids from a liquid suspension in a filtration system comprising: performing a filtration process including providing a pressure differential across a wall of a permeable hollow membrane to induce and sustain filtration through the wall of the permeable hollow membrane;suspending the filtration process; andperiodically backwashing pores of the permeable hollow membrane using permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process, the backwashing of the pores dislodging fouling materials therefrom, the backwashing of the pores including: measuring a characteristic of the permeable hollow membrane, the characteristic of the permeable hollow membrane being one of membrane permeability, membrane resistance, and an increase in membrane resistance over a filtration cycle;making a determination of a gas pressure at which to apply backwash gas to the permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process, the determination made responsive to the measured characteristic of the permeable hollow membrane, the gas pressure being one of a high gas pressure below the bubble point of the permeable hollow membrane and a low gas pressure below the bubble point of the permeable hollow membrane, the low gas pressure being lower than the high gas pressure; andapplying the backwash gas at the determined gas pressure to the permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the high gas pressure is used when membrane permeability is at or below a first predetermined value and the low gas pressure is used when membrane permeability is at or above a second predetermined value. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the high gas pressure is used when membrane resistance is at or above a first predetermined value and the low gas pressure is used when the membrane resistance is at or below a second predetermined value. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the first predetermined value and the second predetermined value are different. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the first predetermined value and the second predetermined value are the same. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas pressure is continuously varied between the high gas pressure and the low gas pressure. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas pressure is alternated between the high gas pressure and the low gas pressure. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least some solids are removed into bulk liquid surrounding the membranes during backwashing the pores of the permeable hollow membrane. 9. The method of claim 1, including a plurality of membrane modules in the filtration system. 10. The method of claim 1, including a plurality of hollow fibre membrane modules in the filtration system. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the filtration system is a pressurised membrane filtration system. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the filtration system is a submerged membrane filtration system. 13. A method of filtering solids from a liquid suspension in a filtration system comprising: performing a filtration process including providing a pressure differential across a wall of a permeable hollow membrane to induce and sustain filtration through the wall of the permeable hollow membrane;suspending the filtration process; andperiodically backwashing pores of the permeable hollow membrane using permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process, the backwashing of the pores including: measuring a net increase in membrane resistance of the permeable hollow membrane over several filtration cycles;making a determination of a gas pressure at which to apply backwash gas to the permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process, the determination made responsive to the measured net increase in membrane resistance of the permeable hollow membrane, the gas pressure being one of a high gas pressure below the bubble point of the permeable hollow membrane and a low gas pressure below the bubble point of the permeable hollow membrane, the low gas pressure being lower than the high gas pressure; andapplying the backwash gas at the determined gas pressure to the permeate remaining in the filtration system after suspending the filtration process. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the backwash gas is applied at the high gas pressure from a first gas regulator valve and the backwash gas is applied at the low gas pressure from a second gas regulator valve. 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising alternating between applying the backwash gas at the high gas pressure to the permeate and applying the backwash gas at the low gas pressure to the permeate. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the backwash gas is applied to the permeate at the high gas pressure if the net increase in membrane resistance over the several filtration cycles is higher than a first set point and the backwash gas is applied to the permeate at the low gas pressure if the net increase in membrane resistance is below a second set point.
