초록

정제 질소가스 생산용 기체 분리막을 매립가스의 $CH_4$ 순도를 높이는데 활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 1단과 2단 분리막 모듈의 면적비는 1:6인 경우가 $CH_4$ 회수를 위해서 적절하였다. 분리막 장치 설치 후 총 249회에 걸쳐 실험을 하였으며, 투과율은 평균 $CH_4$ 28.4%, $CO_2$ 94.3%로서, 매립가스로부터 $CH_4$를 회수하는데 $N_2$ 분리막의 사용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만, $N_2$ 투과율 역시 16.5%에 불과하였으며, 이에 따라 최종 정제된 LFG의 농도는 $CH_4$ 69.7%, $CO_2$ 4.3%, $N_2$ 26.0%이었다. 따라서 $CH_4$의 순도를 높이기 위해서는 매립장내 외기유입 억제를 통해 $N_2$ 농도를 적어도 2.0% 이내로 제한할 필요가 있었다.

This experiment was performed to enhance $CH_4$ purity of landfill gas by applying gas separator membrane for purified nitrogen gas production. 1:6 area ratios of $1^{st}$ to $2^{nd}$ membrane module was suitable for $CH_4$ recovery. After separation membrane system was installed, 249 tries were performed. Average permeability for $CH_4$ was 28.4% and for $CO_2$ was 94.3%. This can explain nitrogen gas separator membrane can be applied to collect $CH_4$ from LFG. However, nitrogen permeability only reached up to 16.5%. Therefore, the final purified landfill gas concentration was rounded up to 69.7% for $CH_4$, 4.3% for $CO_2$ and 26.0% for $N_2$. For the high degree of $CH_4$ purity, $N_2$ should be kept at least under 2.0% by controlling air inflow to landfill.
