환경부는 산하 수처리선진화사업단에서 수돗물 수질개선대책의 일환으로 연구개발한 옥내급수관 진단, 세척 및 갱생기술을 적용, 서울시와 공동으로 시범사업을 실시한다고 밝혔다. 이 사업은 서울 둔촌동 주공아파트 2개동 80세대를 대상으로 약 1억2000만원의 예산을 들여 지난 8월 말부터 시행, 수돗물 녹물발생 방지를 위한 갱생기술의 완성도를 검증·확인한다는 것. 기존 옥내급수관 갱생기술은 평균 관직경 15mm인 소형관에 대한 정밀시공이 어려워 녹이 재발하는 경우가 많았다. 하지만 이번에 개발된 기술은 수도관 내부의 녹 제거 및 관 내부 표면이 균일토록 코팅할 뿐 아니라 시공 후 마이크로 로봇을 이용, 관 내부 촬영 및 절연도 체크를 통해 코팅 완성도를 확인, 녹 재발 가능성을 미연에 방지한다. 이번 기술이 검증되면 환경부는 선박배관, 빌딩, 냉각수배관, 소화용배관, 산업용배관 등에도 확대 적용하고 해외진출을 통해 물산업 육성 아이템으로 발전시킬 계획이다. 한편 환경부는 지난 2005년 수도법을 개정, 건축연면적 6만$m^2$이상 다중이용건축물과 연면적5,000$m^2$이상 국.공립 공공시설은 준공 5년 후부터 매년 수질검사를 실시, 결과에 따라 수도관을 세척·갱생 또는 교체토록 올해 1월부터 의무화 하고 있다.

In this study, the survey of bisphenol-A in indoor water service pipes rehabilitated with epoxy resin was conducted and the risk assessment was done to investigate the effect on the human health to drink tap water. Bisphenol-A in raw water was detected in a range of 50~118 ng/L in all samples, where the limit of quantification was 10 ng/L. This is caused by inflow of the sewage effluent or the tributaries of the surrounding area containing bisphenol-A. Bisphenol-A was not detected in finished water after the advanced water treatment process. It was achieved by its removal from the processes of flocculation-precipitation and oxidation of ozone and chlorine and by being changed to other by-product materials. For the indoor water service pipe, bisphenol-A was not detected in all cases which was not coated with epoxy resin. However, when epoxy resin is lined within the indoor water service pipe, bisphenol-A was identified at maximum level of 521 ng/L and was detected above the limit of quantitation at 68 percentages of all samples. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) at the maximum level (521 ng/L) of the detected bisphenol-A is 0.004, which is less than the reference value of 0.1 for the tap water intake. Therefore, it is considered that the detected levels of bisphenol-A in this study would be safe to drink tap water.

The objective of this study is to develop cleaning agents for the indoor water supply pipe which is environmentally friendly and suitable for removing scale by using various organic acids, inorganic acids, and some additives. Among various organic acids, oxalic acid, citric acid, and malic acid showed good cleaning efficiency of iron oxides which were main components of the indoor water supply pipe scale. Several cleaning agents were formulated by adding chemical additives into these organic acids and evaluated for removal of iron oxides. In this study, it was found that nonionic surfactants were excellent for the removal of iron oxide scale among various additives. Two types of cleaning agents($F_1$, $F_2$) with comparatively high solvent power for iron oxides were formulated in this study. The cleaning agents $F_1$ made by organic acids and some additives were formulated to be safe and environmentally friendly, but seemed to have disadvantage due to their comparatively low cleaning efficiency of iron oxide than $F_2$. But, the cleaning agents $F_2$ prepared by adding inorganic acid a little to $F_1$ showed comparatively good cleaning efficiency of iron oxide and could be recommended for removing hard scale of iron oxides in the indoor water supply pipe. Thus, it is considered that the formulated cleaning agents should be selected based on the extent of scale in the indoor water supply pipe.

This study was performed to estimate the water quality parameters on corrosion such as pH, turbidity, Fe released concentration, corrosion rate by using batch reactor for corrosion control of phosphate corrosion inhibitor in carbon steel pipes. The pH, conductivity, alkalinity, and Ca hardness showed a slight change for dosing the phosphate corrosion inhibitor with carbon steel pipe in batch reactor. The turbidity was about ten times lower with 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$ of the corrosion inhibitor than that without. The Fe released concentration and corrosion rate was decreased by about 12.2, 24 times with 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$ of the corrosion inhibitor than that without. In conclusion, the optimum concentration of the phosphate corrosion inhibitor was found to be 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$. The effect of the corrosion inhibitor was significant for the carbon steel plate samples tested in this study. The corrosion inhibitor can be an effective cure for corrosion and red water problem preventing the service pipe from further corrosion.

As a countermeasure for reduction of corrosion in the delivery and distribution pipes used for tap water, materials for the pipelines in-houses and the effect of water quality on corrosivity of water pipelines were investigated in the distribution system of Han river. As the corrosion index at 6 water purification facilities of Han river, average Langelier Saturation Index (LI) of raw and finished water were -1.0 and -1.4 respectively and average Larson Index (LR) were 9.5 and 9.9, respectively. And also corrosion potential showed corrosivity in finished water (-431~-462 mV) as well as raw water (-426~-447 mV). This results indicate that tap water quality of han river have corrosivity. To understand the corrosivity effect in pipe material used for premise distribution system, water quality of stagnant tap water and tap water were analyzed and the differences between them were calculated. The difference concentration of iron, copper and zinc were $12.9{\mu}g/L$, $31.0{\mu}g/L$ and $45.0{\mu}g/L$ respectively in galvanized steel pipe for use more than 15 years and showed highest concentration. As a result, the control to corrosivity in the water pipelines, corrosivity control treatment in the water purification system can be applied. In advance it is necessary to monitor corrosivity of water quality using corrosive index because corrosivity may differ from the seasonal and regional characteristics and water chemicals dosage. For the future the guideline for corrosion index have to be established.
