Due to global climate change, Korea is experiencing flooding and drought severely. It is hard to manage water resources because intensive precipitation during short periods and drought are commonly occurred in Korea, recently. Severe drought occurred in 2015 and 2017 in the islands, and coastal and inland areas in Korea, and the citizens experienced decreased water supply and emergency water service by using bottled water. Therefore, the Korean government provided additional governmental funds such as the grant of drought disaster. In this study, we tried to calculate the cost of water for drought response based on the cost of tap water for the regional local governments in Korea and the grant of drought disaster by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in Korea, etc. The estimated costs of water for drought responses in coastal and inland areas which have a chance to apply alternative water sources such as brackish or seawater desalination and water reuse in Korea were higher than in other areas in Korea. Additionally, as the novel approach of drought response, the 300 ㎥/day-scale desalination vessel was suggested to provide desalinated water for the islands in Korea. The estimated expenses of water supply for the target island areas (Sinan-gun and Jindo-gun) by the desalination vessel was lower than those by emergency water service by using bottled water.

해수를 이용한 온도차 발전은 심층수와 표층수의 온도 차이를 이용한 암모니아(냉매)를 사용하여 폐쇄적인 액화와 기화를 반복하여 터빈을 돌리는 방식이다. 온도차 발전의 특성상 온도 차이가 클수록 에너지 발전 특성은 좋아진다. 이는 심층수 표층수의 온도차이가 커야 됨을 이야기 한다. 하지만 겨울이 되면 표층수와 심층수의 온도차이가 크지 않아 에너지 효율이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 그리고 해수 담수화기술은 지구의 97%를 차지하지만 우리가 먹을 수 없는 바닷물을 담수로 바꾸는 기술로, 해수 담수화기술로 생산된 담수는 선박내의 공업, 식수 등 각종 용수로 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 문제가 되고 있는 계절에 따른 표층수의 온도 변화를 개선하기 위해 기존에 사용하고 있는 선박용 디젤엔진의 열에너지와 LNG의 냉열 에너지를 사용한 온도차 발전을 위해 LNG 운송 선박을 기준으로 LNG 운송 선박 하이브리드 엔진에 관한 연구와 냉열 에너지를 활용한 해수 냉동법으로 담수화하는 발전 및 담수화를 복합시킨 연구를 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구는 머신러닝 기반의 분석으로 해수담수화(Desalination) 시설의 전력비 예측모델의 가능성을 검토하였다. 해수담수화 주요 공정인 역삼투(Seawater Reverse Osmosis) 시설의 전력비 예측 모델을 개발하고, 전력비 산정에 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하였으며, 해수 수질 중에서 선정된 수온 및 염분도 측정자료를 활용하여 검토하였다. 국립해양조사원(Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency, KHOA)의 2003년부터 2014년까지의 자료를 이용하였으며, 모형의 구조는 시행오차법(Trial & Error)으로 하이퍼파라미터를 최적화하여 머신러닝 기반의 예측 모델을 구축하고, 장래 해수 수질을 예측하였다. 해수 수온은 기존 패턴과 유사할 것으로 예측되었고, 염분도는 과거 측정자료 범위 이내로 최대값이 점차 감소되는 경향을 보여 해수담수화의 전력비가 약 0.80% 감소하는 것으로 검토되었다. 본 연구는 머신러닝 기반의 예측 모델을 구축하여 장래 수질 변화 예측하였으며, 해수 수질 변동의 영향 및 대안을 제시했다는데 의의가 있다.

Experimental research was undertaken to develop a domestic spray nozzle used on equipment for desalination. First, we made a test set-up in order to confirm nozzle efficiency of spray and distribution under different pressure conditions. Then, we found a maximum spray condition after verifying reliability of this facility. An optimum arrangement of the nozzle, based on the test result, was made using CATIA V5 and EXCEL.

The characteristics of a combined cycle for the production of fresh water and air-conditioning was analyzed. The combined cycle consisted of an open water cycle and a $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle interlinked in the pre-heater of the water cycle, which is the condenser of the refrigeration cycle. The oprating conditions and criteria for the fresh water production and air-conditioning was described and their effects on the total system were evaluated. The results indicated an increase of desalinated water with the increase of hot water temperature, which resulted in the decrease of cooling capacity of the refrigeration system in this study. However, the energy saving correspond to the pre-heating of the water cycle by the condensing of the refrigeration system shows the avilable advantage of the proposed cycle as compared to other single purpose plants for desalination.

A novel concept of the gridable desalination plant is to provide an operation management to enable an electricity plant operation cost reduction. Adjusting recovery rate responded to electricity price, an electricity plant operation cost can be saved. To show a suggested approach, the data of 10 [MIGD](Million Imperial Gallons per Day) SWRO testbed are used. The result shows that total cost reduction rate is calculated about 1.6[%] of annual total electric plant operation cost.

In this paper, environmental noise analysis was performed for large power plant and desalination plant. Ray tracing method was used to predict inside noise of turbine building. It is important to design the plant with the allowable noise level. To improve the accuracy, main noise sources were estimated based on the field data. As the results of analysis, it was concluded that noise levels slightly exceed the specified noise limit in turbine building inside. In order to reduce the noise level, adding sound-absorbing materials to inside wall of turbine building was suggested and verified with the confirmed analysis model.

Adsorption characteristics of boron on activated carbon was investigated in order to evaluate the use of activated carbon for the removal of boron in desalination processes using SWRO. Boron was removed ranging from 54~60% when the concentration of activated carbon was 1,000 mg/L in 6 hours under the initial boron concentration of 5 mg/L. The removal of boron increased by 20~22% with the increase of pH from 5 to 9. Organic matter had adverse effect on the adsorption of boron on activated carbon. Boron removal decreased by 10-12% when EDTA was added at 1 mg/L under 5 mg/L of boron and 200mg/L of activated carbon. In this results, activated carbon would be a good candidate for a pretreatment of desalination processes by SWRO from the view of mitigating the feed boron concentration to RO and meeting the effluent boron concentration without post-treatment after RO.

The dissertation is based on the 'remote monitoring control system' for a water desalination plant which changes seawater into safe clean drinkable water. The system is operated and supported by a satellite link which can be easily handled and monitored by any professional. Therefore the system can be operated from any given location. The design allows it to function on islands that have frequent and severe water shortages via the satellite from the main sector. It shows the specific details for the main provision on building the remote monitoring control system for the water desalination.

In the present study, the water desalination across the penta-graphene has been explored by using molecular dynamics simulation. The penta-graphene, a new carbon allotrope, introduced theoretically in 2015. It was shown that this carbon nanostructure is slightly stiffer against buckling in comparison with the graphene nanoribbons. The effect of radius of curvature (ROC) of the membrane, pore size, and applied pressure, on water flow rate, and salt rejection is investigated. It is shown that salt rejection, and the shape of the oxygen density distribution inside the pore can be influenced by the ROC of membrane. Finally, it is shown that the ROC, and pore size of 2D membranes, play an important role in the salt rejection.
