본 연구는 Y 정수장의 세라믹 정밀여과막 공정을 위한 최적의 약품세척 조건을 도출하고자 수행되었다. 세라믹 막 공정의 전처리로 오존과 응집공정이 있는 A계열의 경우 응집공정만 있는 B계열에 비해 9배 정도 잦은 약품세척(CIP)를 실시하였다. 이는 전처리 공정의 차이로 인하여 A와 B계열의 막오염현상이 다르게 나타난 근본적인 원인 이외에 막제조업체가 제시한 CIP 방법이 부적절한 것으로 조사되었다. 즉, CIP 회복률이 보정여과유속이 아니라 보정차압을 기준으로 계산되어 과대평가되었을 뿐만 아니라 구연산이 철산화물에 의한 파울링을 효과적으로 제거하지 못했기 때문이었다. 따라서 1단계 산세척 약품종류를 달리하여 CIP 효율을 평가한 결과 황산(0.1 N)과 구연산(1%)를 혼합하여 사용한 경우 회복률이 가장 높았고, 황산(0.1 N)만을 사용한 경우 회복률이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 황산의 농도를 0.3 N로 높인 결과 산세척 효율은 증가하였으나 알칼리세척 회복률이 낮아져 총회복률은 0.1 N 황산을 사용한 것과 유사하였다. 산과 알칼리세척 순서를 바꿔서 CIP를 수행한 결과 산세척을 먼저 수행시 CIP 효율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.

염색폐수처리를 위하여 피페라진, 메타페닐렌디아미, 트리메소일 클로라이드를 이용하여 계면중합법으로 폴리아마이드계 나노분리막과 폴리아마이드계 역삼투막을 제조하였으며, 이들을 오스모닉스사로부터 구입한 역삼투막의 투과특성과 비교하였다. 이들의 기본 분리투과특성 조사를 위하여 PEG 600, $Na_2SO_4$, NaCl 수용액을 이용하였으며, 제조된 분리막들은 전형적인 나노복합막과 저압용 역삼투막의 특성을 나타내었다. 제조된 이들 분리막들을 이용하여 국내 염료 제조업체인 (주)경인양행으로부터 공급된 실제 염색폐수를 처리하였으며, 이때 이들의 분리투과특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 분리막을 이용한 폐수처리 시 발생되는 분리막 오염을 제거하기 위하여 일정시간마다 CIP를 실시하였다. 이때 3종류의 서로 다른 화학세정제를 사용하였으며, 이들의 세척성능을 살펴보았다.

본 연구는 국내 최초로 도입된 Y 정수장의 세라믹막 고도정수처리를 위한 최적 운영 인자를 도출하기 위하여 수행되었다. 경제성과 수질조건을 만족하면서도 세라믹막 여과성능을 지속 유지할 수 있는 최적 운영조건을 도출한 결과, Y 정수장의 평상시 수질 조건에서 막역세척으로 인한 배출수 발생량을 최소화시키면서도 막여과성능을 유지할 수 있는 최적 여과지속시간(역세척 주기)은 시설용량($16,000m^3$/일) 기준 시 4.0시간으로 조사되었다. 또한 화학세척(CIP)에 따른 막차압 회복력을 조사한 결과, 구연산을 이용한 산세정을 통하여 철, 망간, 알루미늄 등의 막 파울링을 일으키는 무기오염물질은 제거되지만 막회복률은 낮았다. 반면 차아염소산나트륨을 사용한 알칼리 세정을 통해서는 막 운영 초기 막차압으로 회복되는 것으로 나타났다. 막차압을 발생시키는 파울링 주요 원인물질은 친수성 고분자 유기오염물인 polysaccharides로 조사되었으며, 화학세척(CIP)시 막성능 회복률은 세척약품 온도에 의한 영향이 매우 크며, 온도가 높은수록 막성능 회복률이 향상되는 것으로 조사되었다.

In water treatment process using microfiltration membranes, manganese is a substance that causes inorganic membrane fouling. As a result of analysis on the operation data taken from I WTP(Water Treatment Plant), it was confirmed that the increase of TMP was very severe during the period of manganese inflow. The membrane fouling fastened the increase of TMP and shortened the service time of filtration or the cleaning cycle. The TMP of the membrane increased to the maximum of $2.13kgf/cm^2$, but it was recovered to the initial level ($0.17kgf/cm^2$) by the 1st acid cleaning step. It was obvious that the main membrane fouling contaminants are due to inorganic substances. As a result of the analysis on the chemical waste, the concentrations of aluminum(146-164 mg/L) and manganese(110-126 mg/L) were very high. It is considered that aluminum was due to the residual unreacted during coagulation step as a pretreatment process. And manganese is thought to be due to the adsorption on the membrane surface as an adsorbate in feed water component during filtration step. For the efficient maintenance of the membrane filtration facilities, optimization of chemical concentration and CIP conditions is very important when finding the abnormal level of influent including foulants such as manganese.

The purposes of this study were to find the main foulant of membrane and the optimal chemical cleaning method for MF(microfiltration) drinking water treatment system using D dam water as water source. The MF pilot plant which can treat maximum $500m^3/d$ consisted of 3 racks and was operated for 10 months under various operation conditions. After 10 months operation, $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ rack of membrane pilot plant system were cleaned chemically and the degree of the restoration of the fouled membrane in terms of the pure water flux was detemnined. Inorganic compounds which contained in chemical cleaning waste was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). One membrane module for 3rd rack was disjointed and membrane fouling materials, especially inorganic compounds were investigated by Electron Probe Microanlysis (EPMA) to elucidate the reason of TMP increase. And also, the various chemical reagents (1N HCl or $H_2SO_4$, oxalic acid as acid and 0.3% NaOCl as alkali) were tested by combination of acid and alkali to determine the optimal chemical cleaning method for the MF system using micro-modules manufactured using the disjointed module. It was verified that the inside and outside of membrane module was colorized with black. As a result of the quantitative and semi-qualitative analysis of membrane foulant by ICP, most of inorganic foulant was manganese which is hard to remove by inorganic acid such as HCI. Especially, it was observed by EPMA that Mn was attached more seriously in inside surface of membrane than in outside surface of that. It was supposed that Mn fouling in inside surface of membrane might be caused by the oxidation of soluble manganese (Mn(II)) to insoluble manganese ($MnO_2$) by chlorine containing in backwashing water. The optimal cleaning method for the removal of manganese fouling was consecutive cleaning with the mixture of 1N HCl and 1% of oxalic acid, 0.3% NaOCl, and 1N HCl showing 91% of the restoration of the fouled membrane.

Membrane system has been increasingly considered as a safe and cost-effective water treatment process especially in case of small scale water works. This research is a basis of membrane application in water works through a long period test with obtaining operation skills and evaluation of water quality and cost competitiveness. For the research, the UF membrane system was installed in small water treatment plant that uses river-bed water as raw water. The system was consisted of 2 stage membrane and operated in constant flow mode (Flux: 1.5, 1.0, 0.9, 0.6). In each different flux condition, TMP trends were showed better results at lower flux condition. And through the high flux condition test, it is certified that membrane system could deal with breakdown of one stage. Water quality of permeate was satisfied the water quality standards especially turbidity. To know what mainly causes fouling on membrane, the test by membrane with several cleaning agents and EDX analysis have done in lab. Through the tests, ferrous concentration in raw water, backwashing water and membrane surface etc. was high and it causes fouling inside and outside of membrane. So acid cleaning using organic acid such as oxalic acid is necessary in Chemical in Place (CIP). At the economical aspect the electrical cost of membrane system is higher than that of slow sand filtration but labor cost can be reduced by automation. However, the use of labor should be determined considering effectiveness and stability of operation. Because during the operation, there are several breakdown such as electrical shock by lightning, water drop in summer, etc.

Fouling in heat exchanger becomes a major problem of dairy industry and it increases the production cost. These are lost productivity, additional energy, additional equipment, chemical, manpower, and environmental impact. Fouling also introduces the risk of food safety due to the improper heating temperature which allow the survival of pathogenic bacteria in milk, introducing biofilm formation of pathogenic bacteria in equipments and spreading the pathogenic bacteria to milk. The aim of this study is to determine the fouling rate during pasteurization process in heat exchanger of pasteurized milk produced by Village Cooperative Society (KUD) "X" in Malang, East Java Indonesia by using empirical modeling. The fouling rate is found as $0.3945^{\circ}C/h$ with the heating process time ranged from 0 to 2 hours and temperature difference (hot water inlet temperature and milk outlet temperature) ranged from 0.654 to $1.636^{\circ}C$. The fouling rate depends on type and characteristics of heat exchangers, time and temperature of process, milk type, age of milk, seasonal variations, the presence of microorganism and more. This results will be used to plan Cleaning In Place (CIP) and to design the control system of pasteurization process in order to maintain the milk outlet temperature as standard of pasteurization.

The impact of sodium hydroxide, which is one of chemicals of clean in place (CIP) for removing membrane fouling, on the PVDF membrane is reviewed with respect to physical/chemical structural change, the permeability affected therefrom. Based on the cleaning concentration applied in membrane water treatment facilities, 10% of accumulated defluorination was confirmed up to 166g.hr/L which reflects the exposure time. However, membrane resistance was confirmed to be reduced by about 10%. Through FT-IR and EDS analysis, reduction of F and change of are confirmed as factors that affect the permeability of membrane. Membrane resistance, which affects permeability, is affected by loss of additives for hydrophilicity, rather than defluorination of PVDF material. Therefore, in order to check membrane degradation degree, an accelerated test by NaOH was carried out, loss of additives was confirmed, and then PVDF inherent characteristic was observed.
