A series of laboratory model tests and numerical analysis is performed to analyze characteristics of desalination and to predict a period of desalination for subsurface saturated soil in Saemanguem reclaimed area. The results show that quantity of desalination is small as salinity of water is increased. On the contrary, quantity of desalination is increased as salinity of soil is high. In order to decrease the salinity to 10 % of initial salinity of soil at depth of 2 m, it takes 11 years to desalinate the soil 50 m away from drainage ditch. For soil at depth of 1.5 m only 1 year to desalinate the soil near drainage ditch. Also, water head of 80 cm is required to desalinate to 10 % of initial salinity for 60 cm thick soil. Because the following results is based upon the Saemangeum soil, an application of this result for another field will be cautious. More research will be required on this matter.

Desalination system of revers osmosis(RO) membrane has been proven to be the most economical not only for the desalination of water containing salts, but also for the concentration of solute. RO membranes were traditionally made of inorganic polymers such. as cellulose acetate(CA), Polyamide(PA). To retain more minerals in deep ocean water, a new hybrid membrane composed of tourmaline film as organic material onto inorganic layer of CA polymer in asymmetric structure was developed for RO membrane process. The performance tests were carried out in the permeability of pure water and the rejection of NaCl solution to evaluate the adaptability for DOW desalination. The results of these basic tests show possibility to apply the new hybrid RO membrane for the desalination with function control.

Desalination has the advantage of being easy to supply water resources. However most desalination devices are developed mainly for large plants and it is not common to use desalination system for a small fishing ship. More than 50% of the input fuel energy of the small shipbuilding's engine is wasted without reused in a ship, and it is necessary to improving the fuel efficiency of the small fishing ship. In this study, a desalination device using waste heat from engine of the ships was developed. As results, it was found that if the condensing chamber uses a fan to circulate the water vapor, the freshwater production was up to 40.0% higher, and the freshwater production efficiency was up to 30.1% increased when the fan was operated.

한국수자원공사에서 위탁 관리하고 있는 서남해안 도서지역 역삼투 해수담수화 시설 40여곳에 대한 비용 분석을 통하여 비용에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소를 찾아내고 담수화 비용 절감방안을 제시하였다. 시설에 공급되는 원수의 염도(TDS)는 담수로 취급될 수 있는 1,000mg/L 이하에서부터 해수수준인 3,000mg/L 이상까지 다양한 범위를 보이고 있다. 2005년부터 5년 동안의 비용분석 결과 유지보수비가 50.6%, 인건비가 36.9%, 그리고 에너지비가 7.8%의 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 잘 알려진 에너지 비용은 물론 담수화 비용의 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 유지보수 비용도 원수의 TDS 농도에 직접적인 영향을 받고 있음을 밝혔다. 이는 원수의 TDS 농도가 담수화 비용의 60%에 달하는 부분에 영향을 끼치므로 담수화 비용 절감을 위해서는 저염도 원수 확보에 노력을 기울여야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the operating performances of the evaporation desalination system with solar energy. This system was designed to use evacuated solar collector as the heat source, supplying the required heat energy and photovoltaic power as the electric source, supplying required power to pumps in the desalination system. The 5kW photovoltaic power generation system to make the electricity, the single-stage fresh water generator with plate heat exchanger, and remote control and monitoring system. Solar desalination system was designed and installed in Jeju-island, Korea in 2006, after about 4 years of operation, usability and stability of solar desalination system was guaranteed. The system comprises of the desalination unit which was designed to have daily fresh water capacity of $2m^3$, a $120m^2$ evacuated tubular solar collector to supply the heat, a $6m^3$ heat storage tank, and a 5.2kW photovoltaic power generation to supply the electricity to hydraulic pumps for the heat medium fluids. On a clear day, average daily solar irradiance in Jeju-island was measured to be $500W/m^2$ and the daily fresh water yield showed to be more than 500 liters under this condition. After around three years of a long term operation of the system from January 2007 to August 2009, average daily freshwater yield was analyzed to be around $330{\ell}$. The relationship equation between solar irradiance and freshwater yield was found to be y=1.1806x - 107.89.

In these days, wastewater reclamation and seawater desalination play essential role in addressing the challenge of worldwide water scarcity. Particularly, reverse osmosis (RO) for seawater desalination process is commonly used due to less energy consumption than conventional thermodynamic systems. However, membrane fouling and electrical energy consumption during operation of RO system for seawater desalination haver continued to be a obstruction to its application. In this study, therefore, wastewater secondary effluent is used for osmotic dilution of seawater. Firstly, fouling behaviour of RO by simulating wastewater effluent in osmotic dilution process was measured and we calculated energy consumption of overall desalination process by theoretical equations and commercial program. Our results reveal that RO membrane fouling can be efficiently controlled by pre-treatment systems such as nano filtration (NF) or forward osmosis (FO) process. Especially FO system for osmotic dilution process is a non-pressurized membrane system and, therefore, the operating energy consumption of overall desalination system was the lowest. Moreover, fouling layer on FO membrane is comparatively weak and reversible enough to be disrupted by physical cleaning. Thus, RO system with low salinity feed water through FO process is possible as a less energy consuming desalination system with efficient membrane fouling control.

기후변화는 현재 사용되고 있는 지표수 및 지하수 등의 담수자원 외에도 새로운 수자원을 확보해야할 필요성을 증가시켰다. 해수담수화 시장은 이러한 변화에 따라서 매년 급증하고 있는 상황이며, 이에 발맞추어 2007년 해수담수화 플랜트 사업단이 국내에서 출범하였다. 2014년에 종료된 해수담수화플랜트 사업단은 증발식 해수담수화 기술에 치우친 국내 기술을 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술로 선회할 수 있도록 이끌었다. 현재 세계 최고의 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술 에너지 효율성은 약 $3.5kWh/m^3$ 전후로 조사된다. 기장 플랜트의 수준은 $3.8{\sim}4.0kWh/m^3$ 수준으로 비록 세계 최고 수준에는 미치지 못하나, 선두권이라 하기에는 부족함이 없는 것으로 사료된다. 한편, 세계 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술은 평준화 수준에 이른 것으로 사료되며, 에너지 저감을 위해 새로운 기술을 개발하고자 경쟁중이다. 미래 해수담수 시장에서 경쟁할 것으로 예상되는 기술로 정삼투공정, 막증발법 등이 있으며, 이를 위해 국내에서도 정역삼투 융합공정 개발, 막증발법 및 얍력지연삼투등의 기술개발을 진행중에 있다. 이를 통하여 국내 기술수준을 $2.5kWh/m^3$까지 낮출 것으로 기대된다.

The evaporative desalination system using solar thermal energy would be the efficient and attractive method to get fresh water from brine due to low carbon dioxide generation. In this research the solar desalination system as a heating source of refrigerant R123 in the evaporator was considered. The circulation of refrigerant in the evaporator can reduce the energy consumption of the system, because of using the latent heat of the refrigerant 123 instead of the sensible heat of present hot water. The system was comprised of the single-stage fresh water production unit on the capacity of 1ton/day with shell and tube type evaporator, heaters instead of solar collector to supply the proper heat to refrigerant, and refrigerant and brine circulation systems. Various operating flowrate and temperature ranges were varied in the experiments to get the optimum design data. The results showed that the optimum flow rate of brine feed rate to evaporator was 1.2Liter/min, and the yield of fresh water was increased as higher temperature of feed brine. It was confirmed that the circulation flowrate of heating source of refrigerant was decrease of one fifth of the present warm water system, and very efficient system for solar desalination.
