Abstract
In order to obtain knowledge on the design and operation of practical?scale Cylinder-Shaped Filters, pilot experiments were conducted to observe the effects of stepwise augmentation of production rate on water quality and clogging. A production rate increase from 0.8 L/min to 2.4 L/min did not appear to affect the removal efficiencies of BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand), SS(Suspended Solids), and turbidity, as the values were maintained around 80%, over 95%, and over 90% respectively;however, COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) removal decreased from 44% to 29%. In addition, results indicated an inverse relationship between production rate and detention time required to remove unit contaminant concentration, the observed detention time in the filter to remove 1 mg-COD/L being 83 minutes for the production rate of 0.8 L/min and 45 minutes for the production rate of 2.4 L/min, suggesting that a relatively higher production rate is likely to be more advantageous in the purification of reservoir water when compared to a lower production rate. Clogging was observed to originate from the surface and advance to the center of the filter, and although clogging seemed to increase as the production rate increased, this did not cause any difficulties in normal functioning of the filter for more than 2 years of operation, suggesting that this filter system can be used effectively in the purification of reservoir water.
원통형 여과장치의 실규모 설계 및 운전에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 산출유량을 단계적으로 증가시키는 파일럿 실험을 수행하면서 수질지표들과 폐색도 진행을 조사하였다. 유량을 0.8 L/min에서 2.4 L/min로 증가시키는 경우 BOD, SS, 그리고 탁도의 제거율은 각각 약 80%, 95% 이상, 그리고 90% 이상으로 거의 일정하게 유지되었으나 COD 제거율은 44%에서 29%로 감소하였다. 산출유량이 증가할수록 오염물 단위농도를 제거하는데 소요되는 체류시간은 감소하였으며, 1 mg-COD/L를 제거하는데 필요한 체류시간은 산출유량 0.8 L/min인 경우 83분이었고 2.4 L/min에서는 45분이어서 양수율이 낮은 것보다는 높은 것이 호소의 오염제거에 더 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 여과장치의 폐색은 표층에서 집수관쪽으로 진행하며, 산출유량이 증가하면 폐색도도 증가하지만 2년 이상의 운전에도 폐색이 문제되지는 않아 본 장치가 호소의 수질개선에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
