Abstract

This paper is intended as an application of the biological rope media sedimentation tank using biodegradability of BAC(Biological activated carbon) to the drinking water treatment system for the removal of NOM. The removal of DOC(Dissolved organic carbon), UV absorbance(UV$\_$254/), and turbidity were evaluated under various operation condition of a biological rope media sedimentation tank such as raw water-media process (Media 1), ozonation-media process (Media 2), and ozonation-coagulation/sedimentation-media process (Media 3). The raw water had DOC concentration of 1.3∼3.4 mg/L, UV$\_$254/ of 0.027∼0.039 cm$\^$-1/, and turbidity of 0.3∼4.5 NTU, respectively. The average DOC concentration were 2.2 mg/L in media 1, 1.8 mg/L in media 2, and 1.3 mg/l in media 3 from raw water, respectively. On the other hand, the DOC concentration in conventional sedimentation tank was 1.5 mg/l. Higher removal of the DOC was noted in media 3 than media 1 and media 2. The UV$\_$254/ of the treated water were 0.037 cm$\^$-1/ in media 1, 0.027 cm$\^$-1/ in media 2, and 0.014 cm$\^$-1/ in media 3 from raw water, respectively The UV$\_$254/ in conventional sedimentation tank was 0.014 cm$\^$-1/ which is similar to that of media 3. Average turbidity of the treated water was 1.1 NTU in media 1, 0.9 NTU in media 2, and 0.5 NTU in media 3, respectively. It is expected that the biological rope media sedimentation tank is a good alternative over the conventional sedimentation process from these results.

본 연구에서는 정수처리 중에서 BAC(Biological activated carbon) 처리의 생물분해능과 같이 NOM의 생분해성 부분을 제거하고자 로프형 미생물 담체를 침전조에 적용하는 공정을 시도하였다. 다양한 운전조건을 적용하여 DOC와 UV$_{254}$ 그리고, 탁도 제거효과를 평가하였는데, 담체 설치는 일반적인 정수처리 공정을 모사한 pilot plant에 첫 번째로 아무 전 처리도 거치지 않은 팔당원수를 바로 지나도록 하였고(Media 1), 두 번째는 팔당원수를 오존으로만 전처리한 후 지나도록 하였으며(Media 2), 세 번째는 전 오존과 응집-침전과정이 끝난 후 지나도록 하였다(Media 3). 원수의 DOC 농도는 1.3~3.4 mg/L이고, UV$_{254}$는 0.027~0.039 ($cm^{-1}$ /)이며, 탁도는 0.3~4.5 NTU 였다. 평균 DOC 농도는 media 1, 2, 3에서 각각 2.2 mg/L, 1.8 mg/L, 1.3 mg/L를 보였다. 반면에 침전조에서는 1.5 mg/L의 농도를 보여 media 3에서 가장 높은 제거량을 나타내었다. 평균 UV$_{254}$ 값은 media 1, 2, 3에서 각각 0.037 ($cm^{-1}$ /), 0.027 ($cm^{-1}$ /), 0.014 ($cm^{-1}$ /)를 나타내었으며, 침전조에서의 UV$_{254}$ 값은 media 3와 비슷한 0.014 ($cm^{-1}$ /)를 보였다. 평균 탁도는 media 1, 2, 3에서 각각 1.1 NTU, 0.9 NTU, 0.5 NTU를 나타내었다. 위의 결과를 보면 로프형 미생물 담체 침전조는 일반적인 침전 공정에 바로 적용할 수 있는 경제적인 장치로 활용 가능할 것이다.
