초록

In this study, a novel method was proposed to test the integrity of water treatment system specifically equipped with membrane filtration process. We applied the silica particles coated with a fluorescent agent (rhodamine B isothiocyanate) as a surrogate to detect a membrane process integrity and evaluate the reliability of effluent quality in the system. Additionally, a series of experiments was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of the method through the laboratory scale experiment. The laboratory scale experiments showed that the feasibility of application of proposed method to detect a breach or damaged part on the membrane surface. However, the sensitivity on predicting the area of a breach was significantly influenced by the testing conditions such as a concentration of surrogate, filtration flux, and detection time. The lowest error of predicting the area of breach was 3.5 % at the testing condition of surrogate concentration of 80 mg/L injected with flux of 20 L/m2/hr for 10 minutes of detection time for the breach having the actual area of 7.069 mm2. However, the error of estimation was increased at the small breach with area less than 0.785 mm2. A future study will be conducted to estimate a damaged area with more accuracy and precision.
