Abstract

The scrubber wastewater should be replaced frequently to maintain efficiency. Most chemical companies consign scrubber wastewater, because there are no wastewater treatment facilities. So scrubber wastewater is not frequently replaced because of high treatment cost. For this reason, the most scrubber exhaust gas exceeds the odor emission limit or has a phenomenon that the odor intensity of exhaust gas becomes higher. Therefore we have developed a scrubber wastewater cleaning system consisting of filtration and adsorption processes. The scrubber wastewater cleaning system was applied two chemical companies. We evaluated the water quality and odor reduction effect before and after system application. As a result, scrubber wastewater quality improved by 50% or more, odor reduction efficiency of scrubber exhaust gas improved by 20% or more. And the total operating costs of the scrubber could be reduced by 40% or more.

스크러버는 적정한 처리효율을 유지하기 위하여 세정수를 지속적으로 교체해 주어야 한다. 하지만 화학업종 대부분은 폐수 처리시설이 없어 스크러버 세정수를 위탁 처리하고 있으며, 처리비용 때문에 자주 교체해 주지 못하는 실정이다. 이로 인해 악취배출허용기준을 초과하거나 배출구 농도가 더 높아지는 역전현상을 유발하기도 한다. 이에 세정수를 자체 정화 하여 사용할 수 있도록 여과와 흡착 공정으로 구성된 세정수 처리시스템을 개발하였다. 세정수 처리 시스템은 화학업종 두 개 스크러버를 대상으로 적용하였으며, 세정수 수질 상태와 악취저감 효과를 평가하였다. 세정수 처리 시스템 적용 결과 50% 이상의 수질개선 효과와 20% 이상의 악취개선 효과를 확인 하였으며, 기존 운영대비 40%의 비용절감 효과도 기대할 수 있었다.
