A Basic Study for Tasted and Odors Treatment and Optimum Chemical Feed in Existing Water Treatment Processes

기존 정수처리공정에서 이취미처리 및 최적 약품투입을 위한 기초연구

This study was accomplished to get the basic data for the optimum chemical feed, evaluating interference between tastes and odors chemicals and coagulants in existing water treatment processes. During the tastes and odors occurs at D intaking tower area in 1995, PAC(Powdered Activated Carbon) feed with coagulants was PAC feed only and with coagulant simultaneously were appeared TON removal efficiency about 84%-87% within 20 min reaction time, but feed with time intervals was about 98% TON removal efficiency. Therefore in the case of PAC feed with coagulant, it is effective to feed coagulant on some time intervals in removing tastes and odors. It is not effective to feed PAC with chlorine dioxide($ClO_2$) or chlorine simultaneously in removing tastes and odors, because these chemicals were reduced the adsorption capacity of PAC.
