초록

최근 음용수를 위한 UF, MF 막의 적용이 증가하고 있다. UF/MF 막은 재래식 수처리 공정에 비하여 원수 수질 변화에도 안정적인 운전이 가능하고 부지 면적이 작으며 자동화 운전이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 현재 대부분의 UF/MF 막시설은 고분자 막을 사용하고 있다. 최근 세라믹 막은 고분자막에 비하여 경쟁력이 있다고 알려지고 있다. 세라믹 막은 높은 투과유량과 약품세정 빈도가 작으며 막의 수명 또한 길어 최근 적용 사례가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 MF 세라믹 막 pilot plant를 완속모래여과 정수장에 적용하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 세라믹 Pilot plant는 3개의 계열이 있으며, 각 계열별로 원수와 모래 여과수를 막의 유입수로 각각 사용하였다. 또한 세라믹 막 공정의 최적화를 위하여 전처리 응집공정으로서 PACl 응집제를 사용하였다. 그리고 화학세정(Chemical Enhanced Backwashing, CEB)은 황산 (500 mg/L)과 차아염소산 (200 mg/L)을 1.5일에 1번씩 모든 계열에 주입하여 이루어졌다. 본 연구 결과 세라믹 막 공정의 전처리 응집공정에서 최적의 응집제 사용은 막의 유입수로 원수와 모래 여과수에 대한 막의 flux를 크게 증가시켰다. 또한 본 연구에서 사용된 최적 응집제 주입량에서 차압상승률은 원수(25 mg/L)의 경우 2.173 kPa/cycle이며, 모래 여과수(5 mg/L)의 경우 0.301 kPa/cycle으로 나타났다.

The application of ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) membranes has been increased for drinking water purification. The advantages of UF/MF membrane process compared to conventional treatment processes are stable operation under varying feed water quality, smaller construction area, and automatic operation. Most membrane treatment plants are designed with polymeric membranes. Recently, some studies suggested that the process of treating surface water with ceramic membranes is competitive to the application of polymeric membranes. Higher water flux, less frequent cleaning, and much longer lifetime are the advantages of ceramic membrane comparing to polymeric membrane. Therefore, this research focused on the application of ceramic MF membrane pilot plant at the slow sand filtration plant. The ceramic membrane pilot plant has three trains that used raw water and sand filtered water as a feed water, respectively. For optimizing the pilot plant process, the coagulation with PACl coagulant was used as a pretreatment of ceramic membrane process. In addition, CEB (Chemical Enhanced Backwash) process using $H_2SO_4$ and NaOCl was used for 1.5 days, respectively. The experimental results showed that applying the optimum coagulant dose before membrane filtration showed enhancing membrane fluxes for both raw water and sand filtered water. Also, when using raw water as a feed of membrane, minimum fouling rate was 2.173 kPa/cycle with 25 mg/L of PACl and when using sand filtered water, the minimum fouling rate was 0.301 kPa/cycle with 5 mg/L of PACl.
