초록

본 연구에서는 하수재이용과 해수담수화를 동시에 진행할 수 있는 규모 1,000 m3/d의 FO-RO 융합공정과 동일한 규모의 기존 SWRO 공정의 탄소배출량을 계산하여 비교 분석하였다. FO-RO 융합공정은 FO 공정을 도입하여 RO 공정 원수를 희석시킬 수 있기 때문에 RO 공정의 요구 압력이 감소되고 이는 곧 에너지소비량 감소로 이어진다. 에너지소비량에 따른 탄소배출량은 FO-RO 융합공정이 SWRO 공정보다 -0.73 kgCO2(coal로 전력생산 시) 낮으며, FO 공정 추가 건설로 인해 발생되는 탄소배출량은 +0.16 kgCO2로 계산되어 FO-RO 융합공정의 총 탄소 배출량이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, Coal나 oil과 같은 화석연료로 전력을 생산하지 않고, 전력생산 시 탄소배출량이 적은 nuclear나 solar 등으로 사용하면 FO-RO 융합공정의 총 탄소배출량이 SWRO 공정보다 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 탄소배출량 관점에서는 전력생산 시 필요 재료(예: coal, oil, nuclear, solar 등)에 따라 친환경적인 공정 판단 여부가 결정되므로 FO-RO 융합공정 도입 필요성을 좌우하는 핵심 요소라고 할 수 있다.

A conventional seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and a forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) hybrid process to produce 1,000 m3/d of fresh water, were designed and compared in terms of carbon emission. When FO was adapted for the osmotic dilution, the required pressure for RO decreases, and thus energy consumption decreases. The decrease in carbon emission by decreased energy consumption (up to -0.73 kgCO2/m3 using coal as the energy source) was compared with the increase in carbon emission by the FO system (+0.16 kgCO2/m3), which is a function of various factors such as the number of FO modules and energy consumption. The comparison revealed that the FO-RO process causes less carbon emission compared with the SWRO process when the energy sources are coal and oil. However, if energy sources with low carbon emission such as solar, wind, and nuclear energy are selected, the carbon emission of the FO-RO process becomes higher than that of the SWRO process. This implies that the type of energy source is a key factor to determine the necessity of the FO-RO process from the aspect of carbon emission.
