동결농축법은 열역학적 효율이 높고 에너지 소비량이 작으며 처리수를 재활용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모로 상용화 가능한 동결농축폐수처리시스템을 설계하고, 각 시스템의 에너지 소비효율과 일일처리량을 비교하여 시스템 개발방향을 제안하고자 하였다. 시스템을 완속운전시스템과 급속운전시스템으로 각각 모델링하고 해석을 통해 소비동력과 운전시간을 계산하여 비교한 다음 설계처리량에 따른 변화를 추가 검토하였다. 연구결과 급속운전시스템의 소비전력량비가 0.6 Wh/kg 만큼 다소 높으나 일일처리량은 19 % 증가하였으며, 설계처리량이 큰 시스템일수록 소비전력량비가 작아지고 일일처리량이 큰 결과를 얻었다.
Freeze concentration method has advantages of high thermodynamic efficiency, low energy consumption and purified water re-use. In this study, freeze concentration waste-water system which was designed as the small and medium sized capacity was analyzed about the rate of electric power consumption and the daily treatment capacity to suggest the direction of system development. At first, power consumption and operation time of the system with fresh water precooler or without it was calculated by computer modeling and analysis. Subsequently, the change of design treatment capacity was applied to the system with fresh water cooler. As a result, the rate of electric power consumption was higher as 0.6 Wh/kg but daily treatment capacity increased in quantity as 19 % in the system with fresh water precooler. As design treatment capacity increased, the rate of electric power consumption was lower and daily treatment capacity was larger in quantity.
