A bench-scale submerged-type membrane filtration system (SMFS) was constructed to study a feasibility of membrane filtration for solid-liquid separation in water and wastewater treatment processes. In the case of applying the SMFS to a biological wastewater treatment process, so-called membrane bioreactor, aeration underneath membrane modules is usually employed in order to provide oxygen demand for microbial growth as well as to control membrane fouling. A study was investigated the effects of operation parameters by aeration intensity, feed concentration, foulant type and airlift pore size on critical flux. Critical flux tends to increase with aeration rate. Optimal aeration flow rate was found to be 10 L/min/module. Feed concentration and foulant type has a significant effect on membrane fouling and filtration performance. But downward position and pore size of airlift has no a significant effects on membrane fouling and filtration performance.

스펀지 형태의 담체가 첨가된 침지형 막결합 연속회분식 생물반응기에서 담체가 제거효율과 여과성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담체는 반응기 부피 기준으로 각각 5%, 10% 및 20% 첨가하였고, 담체를 첨가하지 않은 반응기를 대조군으로 하였다. COD, T-N 및 T-P에 대한 제거효율은 담체 첨가 유무에 관계없이 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 담체를 첨가한 경우, 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 조업시간에 따른 막간차압(TMP)은 매우 서서히 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 폭기에 의해 상승하는 담체가 막 표면과 충돌하게 되고, 이때 막 표면에 형성된 케이크 층을 제거시키기 때문이다. 결론적으로 담체가 첨가된 막결합형 연속회분식 생물반응기는 담체가 없는 반응기에 비해 여과성능이 크게 개선되어, 폐수처리에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In Korea, most of the drinking water treatment relied upon the availability of the surface water, of which the raw water quality varied significantly by season and location. Therefore, the comparison of two operation modes (Pressurized type and Submerged type membrane system) must be estimated before the long-term establishment of two systems. In this study, two pilot-scale microfiltration systems with the capacity of $50m^3/day$ were installed and operated in two different modes, and the applicability of the system was determined based on the results such as the TMP (Trans-Membrane Pressure) and flux. For quantitatively comparing the two systems, a new concept, DRF (Differential Resistance Fraction) was introduced. The accumulated sum of the permeate after each cycle of chemical cleaning was also used as a tool for the system comparison.

As water resources are limited and legal regulations are strengthened, there is a growing need to reuse residuals in WTP(Water Treatment Plant). In this study, membrane filtration system was constructed and its operation method was studied for water quality stabilization and reuse of WTP residuals. The operation parameters were stable for 1 year and 6 months. Membrane fouling was identified as particulate pollution (activated carbon) and inorganic pollution (manganese). The membrane system was operated steadily with raw water of high concentration SS(Suspended solid) containing activated carbon because membrane fouling was reduced by the effect of End-Free type. In the case of inorganic contamination, dissolved manganese eluted by chemicals and acted as a membrane fouling source, and the operating conditions for minimizing membrane fouling. were confirmed by newly developing application methods and types of cleaning chemicals. Based on the results, design parameters for reducing manganese membrane fouling were derived.

During the disinfection of potable water, humic substances present in the solution react with chlorine to form potential carcinogenic compounds. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a submerged membrane photocatalysis reactor (SMPR) process for treatment of humic substances through the characterization of both organic removal efficiency and membrane hydraulic performance. A simple SMPR was operated and led to the removal of up to 83% of the polluting humic matters. Temporal rates of organic removal and membrane fouling were found to decrease with filtration time. Using tighter membrane in the hybrid process resulted in not only higher organic removal, but also more significant membrane fouling. Under the experimental conditions tested, optimum $TiO_2$ concentration for humic removal was found to be 0.6 g/L, and increasing initial pollutant concentration expectedly resulted in a more substantial membrane fouling. The importance of the influent nature and pollutant characteristics in this type of treatment was also assessed as various water sources were tested (model humic acid solution vs. local water containing natural organic matters). Results from this study revealed the promising nature of the SMPR process as an alternative technique for organic removal in the existing water treatment system.

기존의 정수처리 공정인 응집 ·침전·모래여과를 단일 공정인 막분리 공정으로 대체하기 위한 중공사 정밀여과막의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험은 우선 실험실 규모의 실험에서 여러 가지 운전인자에 대한 수질의 안정성 및 장기 운전 가능성을 검토하였고, 여기에서 최적 운전인자로 얻어진 투과플럭스 0.03m/h, 10분 여과, 2분 정지 (30초간 air scrubbing 세정 포함)의 조건으로 20m3/일 규모의 Pilot Plant를 1년 이상 운전하여 안정성을 검증하는 방법으로 수행되었다. 탁도, SS등 막 투과수 수질은 전 실험 기간 동안 탁월한 제거효율을 나타내었다. 따라서 정수처리 공정에의 중공사 정밀여과막을 이용한 막분리 공정은 적용 가능하다고 판단된다.

C/N 비가 낮은 농촌마을 하수의 고도처리를 위하여 $0.4{\mu}m$의 세공크기를 갖고 있는 평막이 침지된 연속회분식 반응기를 사용하였다. 분말활성탄의 투입, 폭기량 및 유입 유기물 농도가 처리효율과 여과 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 54일 이내의 조업 초기에서는 C/N 비가 증가할수록 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율과 MLSS 농도는 증가하였다. 조업 89일 후의 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율은 각각 97.1%, 75.0% 및 48.3%이었다. 막여과에 의해 처리수에서 SS는 검출되지 않았으며, T-P의 제거율이 낮게 나온 이유는 과잉의 슬러지를 배출하지 않았기 때문이다. 분말활성탄을 투여한 경우 조업이 진행됨에 따라 분말활성탄의 혼합강도와 충돌빈도가 증가하여 슬러지의 입자크기가 감소하였으며, 이로 인해 분말활성탄을 투여하지 않은 경우에 비해 TMP 상승이 크게 나타났다.
