침지식분리막 오염을 최소화하기 위한 두 가지 공기세정방식을 비교하였다. 연속적인 공기세정과 단계별 공기량을 증가시키는 방식을 연구하였다. 15분의 여과 중에 세정공기의 증가는 5분마다 단계별로 공기량을 증가시켜주었다. 모의 여과 원수에 분말활성탄을 10 g/L 이하 그리고 카올린은 20 g/L 이하로 준비하였으며, 플러스는 80 LMH로 하였다. 단계별 공기세정방식은 연속적인 공기세정 방식보다 분리막 오염억제에 효과적이었다. 추가적으로 주입된 응집제는 분리막 오염저감을 보다 향상시켰다. 연속적인 공기세정의 오염현상은 공경막힘과 분리막 표면에 지속적인 입자의 축적에 기인하였다.

The Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration were used to treat effluent of secondary municipal wastewater treatment system(Sequencing Batch Reactor). The cross-flow hollow fiber, UF 500,000(NMWC) and MF 0.65μ membrane were selected as suitable membrane. Short term and long term fouling effect were measured as a factor of flux decrease and the fouling removal effect of mixing air bubble in the penetrant was studied. The removal of anionic sulfactants before and after formation of micelle with several kinds of oil were checked. The test results show that removal of TOC was 70~80%, TN 28% and TP 16%. The decrease of flux due to fouling were 85%(UF) and 90%(MF) after running of 100hrs. The removal of anionic sulfactants were 60~70% notwithstanding micelle or not.

A water reuse system was designed for a demonstration plant by combining fiber filtration and electrolysis. A discharged dye wastewater after treated with biomedia was used in this study. It was found that an additional removal of suspended solids (SS) was feasible with 2‐stage filtration while electrolysis was not effective. Also, CODcr and CODMn were not removed with 2 ‐stage filtration but electrolysis resulted in about 26.9% additional removal. This indicates that electrolysis play an important role in organic removal. Removal of T‐N and T‐P was negligible with 1 and 2‐stage fiber filtration and low‐level electrolyte. However, with 2000 ppm of electrolyte, their removal efficiencies were about 83.1 and 60%, respectively, suggesting that the removal rates are well associated with the electrolyte concentrations. With high‐level electrolyte, colority was removed about 82% while chlorine ions were removed only about 10%. Therefore, to treat underground water containing high‐level salinity in the follow‐up study, based on the results in this paper, a combined system with selection of additional unit process and reverse osmosis will be designed.

This study was carried out to investigate the filtration characteristics of membrane modules according to hollow fiber dispersion for direct solid-liquid separation of activated sludge. 2 bundle, 4 bundle, and 10 bundle module used in this experiment according to hollow fiber dispersion was manufactured at laboratory and permeate flux and transmembrane pressure(TMP) of each module were observed under a suction pressure of 0.5㎏f/㎠. As the hollow fibers were dispersed, permeate flux was increased and TMP was decreased. Permeate flux and TMP of each module was 15.0 ℓ/㎡·h and 31.8 ㎝Hg for 2 bundle, 16.0 ℓ/㎡·h and 17.4 ㎝Hg for 4 bundle, and 20.4 ℓ/㎡·h and 13.8 ㎝Hg for 10 bundle. In conclusion, the membrane fouling is expected to be decrease by maintaining lower TMP with hollow fiber dispersion.
