지구상에 존재하는 물의 97%는 해수로 존재한다. 따라서 해양자원을 어떻게 활용하는 가는 최근 가장 중요한 이슈 중 하나이다. 해수의 이용은 해수담수화, 원자력 발전소의 냉각수, 해양심층수 활용 등 다양한 분야로 확대되고 있다. 깨끗한 해수를 취수하기 위해 여과사를 이용한 해수취수시스템이 활발하게 사용되고 있으며 이러한 시스템에 적용되는 취수관의 경우 각 취수구 별로 균등하게 취수될 때 취수효율뿐만 아니라 여과의 효율도 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 해수취수시설에 적용된 2중관 구조의 취수효율 향상 효과를 3차원 수치모의를 통해 확인하였으며 상부유공의 간격변화에 따른 구간별 취수량을 분석하였다. 그 결과 관 말단부로 갈수록 상부유공의 간격이 감소되는 경우가 전체적인 취수량은 큰 차이가 없었으나 상부유공을 통한 취수량의 구간별 표준편차가 최소로 나타났다. 또한 이 경우에 관내 흐름이 안정적이어서 취수의 효율도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 추후 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 다양한 조건 및 영향인자에 대한 민감도 분석이 수행된다면 개별 환경에 적합한 최적설계안을 도출하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다.

According to increasing demand of water mainly due to the growth of population and increased water consumption, many countries either face or worry about the shortage of fresh water. Proportionately, importance and efforts of each country to develop the potable water has been gradually increasing as well. Among others, desalination of seawater has been developed to one of the solutions mainly from the middle east and other arid regions to produce large quantity of fresh water from seawater. We installed beach seawater collector wells to develop the filtered seawater supply for desalination in a refinery. We came to a conclusion that the beach seawater collector well is one of the recommendable alternatives of seawater pre-treatment for desalination applications with lower operating cost and higher efficiency.

기존 해수취수시스템의 경우 해수오염, 부유물질, 취수의 불안정 및 유지관리의 어려움 등으로 인해 해수취수의 어려움이 발생하곤 하였다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고자 매설식 해수취수시스템을 개발하여 격포항에 설치하였다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 시스템의 거동을 검토하고자, 수질관측 및 3차원 수치모의 실험을 수행하였다. 이 취수시스템에 대하여 총 5회에 걸쳐 COD, 총질소, 총인, PH 그리고 부유물질에 대하여 수질분석을 수행한 결과, COD, 총질소, 총인, PH의 경우 취수 전 후 저감 효과는 미미하였다. 그러나 부유물질의 경우 수산용수 1급 5 mg/L 이하로 정화되는 효과가 나타났다. 수치모형은 유한체적법 기반의 CFX 모형과 RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 알고리즘을 선정하였으며, 여과사, 외부관 지름 및 두께를 재현하기 위해서 다공성 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 수치모의 실험을 수행한 결과, 2중관 구조가 내외부관 사이의 공간에 의해 압력의 분포를 균등하게 하여, 흐름 상태나 안정적인 취수측면에서 유리한 것으로 분석되었으며, 취수관을 다열 배치하였을 때 중앙 취수관과 비교하여 양쪽 취수관에서 유량이 0.98배로 감소하였지만 유동의 간섭현상은 발생하지 않았다.

The Al-Zour coastal area, located in southern Kuwait, is a region of concentrated industrial water use, seawater intake, and the outfall of existing power plants. The Al-Zour LNG import facility project is ongoing and there are two issues regarding the seawater temperature in this area that must be considered: variations in water temperature under local meteorology and an increase in water temperature due to the expansion of the thermal discharge of expanded power plant. MIKE 3 model was applied to simulate the water temperature from June to July, based on re-analysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the thermal discharge input from adjacent power plants. The annual water temperatures of two candidate locations of the seawater intake for the Al-Zour LNG re-gasification facility were measured in 2017 and compared to the numerical results. It was determined that the daily seawater temperature is mainly affected by thermal plume dispersion oscillating with the phase of the tidal currents. The regional meteorological conditions such as air temperature and tidal currents, also contributed a great deal to the prediction of seawater temperature.

Numerical simulations have been carried out on the flooding system of a dry located at the south coasts of Iran. The main goals of seawater flow haracteristics in the intake channels conditions of the flooding system are imposed in the modeling. The upstream boundary condition is the tidal fluctuations of sea water level. At the downstream, the gradually rising water surface elevation in the dry described in a transient boundary condition. The numerical results are compared with available laboratory a good agreement is obtained. The seawater discharge through the flooding system and the required time to filling up the dry dock is determined at the worst case. The water current velocity and pressure on the rigid boundaries are discussed.

Screening performance of the existing intake screens (drum and travelling screen) on mass impingement of marine animals, a euphausiid, Euphausia pacifica and a scyphozoan medusae, Aurelia aurita that have often clogged intake screens of the Uljin Nuclear Power Plant, was tested. The maximum tolerable densities of marine animals in the inflowing seawater upon the screen were estimated with two different approaches. First the maximum density of jellyfish was calculated from (1) passing amount of seawater per unit time through the screens and (2) the covered area of animals on the screens clogged. The maximum density of krill tolerable in the drum screen was cited from a simulated record of Uljin NPP, then those in the travelling screens were also calculated using the data of drum screen and ratio of seawater amount passing through the screens under the condition of 0.5m water column (W.C.) of the differential pressure (AP) produced by screens, an established permissible limit of ${\Delta}P$. Secondly, the screening performances were also tested by hydrodynamic measurements with various screen models in a circulating water channel equipped with a speed-controlling pump and a differential pressure gauge. From the first approach, the maximum tolerable densities of drum and travelling screen were calculated as 2.0 and $1.5ind/m^3$ for the Jellyfish and 900 and $680ind./m^3$ for the euphausiid, respectively. These densities estimated from the second approach were 2.1 and $0.8ind/m^3$ for the jellyfish and 1059 and $504ind/m^3$ for the euphausiid, respectively. These estimates were compared with the data from historic clogging events to evaluate the practical performance of these intake screens. The comparisons suggest a newly improved intake-screen of which performance should be at least seven times (approximately) better than the existing ones ior the krill and 3.2 times for the jellyfish, respectively, for preventing mass impingement, and for maintaining the condition of the differential pressure between the screens below 0.3 m W.C.

In this study, total bacteria, enteric members of the $\gamma$-proteobacteria, and microbial communities in seawater were analyzed as indirect indicators for quantifying biofouling. Biomass in seawater can significantly affect feed water pretreatment and membrane biofouling of reverse osmosis desalination processes. The purpose of this paper is to investigate microbiological quantity and quality of seawater at the potential intake of a desalination plant. For this analysis, the total direct cell count (TDC) using 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-staining and DNA-based real-time PCR were used to quantify the total bacteria and relative content of enteric members of $\gamma$-proteobacteria in seawater, respectively. In addition, microbial communities were examined using 16S rRNA gene cloning and bacterial isolation to identify the most abundant bacteria for a further biofouling study. The experimental results of this study identified about $10^6$ cells/mL of (total) bacteria, $10^5$ 16S rRNA gene copies/mL of enteric $\gamma$-proteobacteria, and the presence of more than 20 groups of bacteria.

In this study, pumping capacity in the area of natural river estuary is estimated by the quantitative analysis using finite element method. The study area is Iga-ri pumping station in the estuary of Seojung-chun which runs to the East coast. First of aH, hydraulic properties and effects of different seawater levels are analyzed in this area. Variations of groundwater level caused by pumping and properties of seawater intrusion are analyzed, then compared the case of reinforcing the existing intake weir with the case of setting up an weir at the upper stream. The observed data of groundwater drawdown caused by pumping during drought period and seawater intrusion are compared with results of the analysis done by groundwater model using finite element method, and it is found that both are similar. Accordingly, groundwater model used in this study reflects well the variation of groundwater level caused by pumping.

In industrial and fluid handling systems, frequently the protective film forming materials suffer from severe corrosion due to microbial effects. As an example, various micro-organisms, including bacteria, exist in seawater normally fed to power and desalination plants. Unless seawater intakes are properly disinfected to control these microbial organisms, biological fouling and microbial induced corrosion (MIC) will be developed. This problem could destroy metallic alloys used for plant construction. Seawater intakes of cogeneration plants are usually disinfected by chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite solution. The dose of disinfectant is designed according to the level of contamination of the open seawater in the vicinity of the plant intake. Higher temperature levels, lower pH, reduced flow velocity and oxidation potential play an important role in the enhancement of microbial induced corrosion and bio-fouling. This paper describes, in brief, the different types of bacteria, mechanisms of microbiological induced corrosion, susceptibility of different metal alloys to MIC and possible solutions for mitigating this problem in industry. A case study is presented for the power plant steam condenser at Al-Taweelah B-station in Abu Dhabi. The study demonstrates resistance of Titanium tubes to MIC.
