Abstract EN
A study on the treatment and reuse of oily wastewater generated from the process of fuel oil treatment of gas turbine power plant was performed.
The feasibility of using hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane type polyamide thin-film composite in a pilot plant was investigated.
Three different variables: pressure (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 bars), oil content (10, 20, 30 and 40 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were employed in the UF process while TDS was kept constant at 150 ppm.
Four different variables: pressure (5, 6, 7 and 8 bar), oil content (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 ppm), total dissolved solids (TDS) (100, 200,300 and 400 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were manipulated with the help of statistical method of Taguchi in the RO process.
Analysis of variable (ANOVA) and optimum conditions were investigated.
The study shows that pressure has the greatest impact on the flux of UF process, while it was temperature for RO process.
It was noticed that more than 99% oil removal can be achieved and flux of 580 L/m2.hr by UF process and that the fouling mechanism of UF process follows the cake/gel layer filtration model.
It was concluded that 100% removal of oil content can be achieved along with 99% for the TDS rejection and flux of 76 L/m2.hr by RO process.
The result shows fouling in RO process follows the standard pore blocking model.
Process optimization was conducted with confirmation test.
It was concluded that the observed values are within ±5% of that the predicted which reflects a strong representative model.
The treated wastewater has the characteristics of that used as fresh water and it can be reused to the process to reduce the operation cost
