Abstract

In chrome tanning wastewater study, a wastewater treatment alternative was decided. This treatment alternative contains cartridge filter, ultrafiltration [UF1 (20 kDa), UF2 (50 kDa), UF3 (150 kDa)], nanofiltration NF (XN45), and reverse osmosis RO (ACM2). Chrome tanning wastewater was given to the other membranes to increase the life time of the membranes after cartridge filter application. The wastewater from cartridge filter was given to 3 different UF membranes which have different pore diameters (20, 50, and 150 kDa) with 3 different pressure (6, 8, and 10 bar) in this alternative. For this treatment alternative, for 200 m³/G flow, 8 pieces of (273 m²) UF (20 kDa), 8 pieces of (160 m²) NF (XN45), and 12 pieces of (375 m²) RO (ACM2) membranes were used. The total investment for this treatment alternative was calculated as 228,415 €, and process cost was calculated as 2.77 €/m³; however, for the classical treatment facility, investment was calculated as 345,400 €, and process cost was calculated as 0.8 €/m³. As a result when compared to classical treatment systems, the membrane technology was found to have more economic the investment and the process costs.
