The purpose of this research was to investigate the permeation properties of each stage in three stage reverse osmosis system for cold-mill wastewater reuse. After construction of the three staged pilot plant which had 75% recovery and equipped with seven plate-and-frame modules, the change of each stage's penneate flow and quality were investigated in the process of membrane fouling. The order of average permeate flow was first, second, and third stage at the beginning. As the operation time passed, the permeate flow of first stage was decreased, the second stage was maintained steadily, and the third stage was increased. Accordingly, the fouling was initiated at the first stage and then progressed to the second and third stage. The first stage's permeate quality showed the best and the second and third stage was the next in that order. And the order of quality was maintained during the test periods. Therefore, the permeate quality was not affected by membrane fouling.
본 연구의 목적은 냉연공장 폐수재이용을 위해 3단 역삼투시스템 사용시 각단에서의 투과특성을 조사하는 것이다 판틀형 모듈 7개를 사용하여 회수율이 75% 가 되도록 3단 (배열 : 4+2+1) 으로 구성하여 장기간에 걸친 pilot test를 통해 막오염 진행에 따른 각 단에서의 유량 및 수질변화를 조사하였다 실험결과 각 단 모듈 1개당 평균 투과수량은 운전초기에는 1단, 2단, 3단의 순서로 많았으나 운전시간이 경과하며 막오염이 진행됨에 따라 1단은 감소하는 반면 2단은 거의 변화가 없고 3단의 투과수량은 증가하였다 즉 막오염은 주로 1단에서 발생하며 점차 2단. 3단으로 진행되는 것을 확인할수 있었다. 한편 투과수 수질은 예상한 것과 같이 1단이 가장 우수하였고 다음으로는 2단, 3단의 순서였으며 막오염에 영향을 받지않았다.
