Abstract

Effects of aeration intensity on local fouling were investigated in submerged membrane modules. Higher liquid velocities were observed at the section with the lower fiber packing density. The liquid velocity is increased with increasing the gas-liquid injection factor. The high shear stress coincided with the high liquid velocity. The shear stress increases with the increasing of gas-liquid injection factor and the liquid velocity improves with the increasing of gas-liquid injection factor. Irreversible fouling resistance ($R_{ir}$) of the fiber position is significant in a local region of high suction pressure near the suction point of the fiber (position 1). The ratio of $R_{ir}/R_m$ and $R_{ir}/R_r$ of position 1 was highest compared to the position 2 and 3. Irreversible fouling resistances results confirmed the preferential deposition of foulants near the suction part of the fiber where the local suction pressure is the highest and correspondingly, more particles are accumulated to the membrane surface. The effects of local fouling along the fiber length are significant factors to optimize the design of submerged modules.

침지식 분리막 모듈에서 공기강도에 따른 분리막 위치에 대한 오염을 조사하였다. 분리막의 충진밀도가 낮은 곳에서 높은 유체 유속을 나타내었으며, 유체 속도는 기-액 주입률에 비례하였다. 전단응력은 기-액 주입률 및 유체 유속에 비례하였다. 비가역오염($R_{ir}$)은 흡입 압력이 가까운 부분에서 가장 높게 나타났다(position 1). 비가역오염에 대한 저항과 분리막 고유 저항의 비($R_{ir}/R_m$) 및 비가역오염에 대한 저항과 가역오염의 저항의 비($R_{ir}/R_r$)도 position 1에서 가장 높게 조사되었다. 비가역오염($R_{ir}$)은 흡입 압력이 높은 곳인 position 1에 오염물질이 축적되어진 결과이다. 분리막 위치에 따른 오염현상은 모듈 디자인 최적화에 중요한 인자임을 알았다.
