This study was performed to determine the optimum coagulant dosing amount for effective treatment of raw water. The removal rate of turbidity and the variations of water qualities according to various dosage of coagulants such as Alum, PAC and PACS were investigated. The optimum coagulant dosing amount to make the lowest turbidity of water were 35mg/ι t of Alum, 30mg/ι of PAC and 10mg/ι of PACS in case of 5 NTU of raw water turbidity, and 30mg/ι of Alum, 25mg/ι of PAC and 10mg/ι of PACS in case of 10 NTU of that, respectively. The removal rates of turbidity at 4 min. and 8 min. of settling time were 10 and 72% of Alum, 44 and 62% of PAC and 25 and 55% of PACS in case of 5 NTU, and 52 and 70% of Alum, 90 and 95% of PAC and 10 and 28% of PACS in case of 10 NTU, respectively. Judging from the settling capability of floc., the reaction time of floe. formation and removal efficiency of turbidity, PAC was evaluated as more effective coagulant than Alum and PACS. Also PAC was regarded as the most effective coagulant when the water supply was changed sharply and the fluctuation of the surface loading occured with wide and sharp in settling basin. pH and alkalinity of the water were decreased with increasing coagulants dosage. But pH and alkalinity were not decreased below 5.8 which is the standard for drinking water quality, and 10mg/ι which is the limit concentration of floc. breakage, respectively. Residual Al of the treated water was decreased with increasing coagulants dosage in case of 5 and 10NTU of raw water turbidity. $KMnO_4$ consumption of the water was decreased with increasing coagulants dosage. The reduction rate of $KMnO_4$ consumption at the optimum coagulants dosage were 39% of Alum. 18% of PAC and 11% of PACS in case of 5 NTU of raw water turbidity, and 42% of Alum, 27% of PAC and 36% of PACS in case of 10 NTU of that, respectively. Any relationship was not found between the removal rate of turbidity and KMnO$_4$ consumption. TOC of the water was a bit decreased with increasing coagulants dosage up to 30mg/ι but not changed above 30mg/ι of coagulants dosage. The degree of TOC reduction was increased in the order of Alum, PAC and PACS treatment. Zeta potential of the colloidal floe. at the optimum coagulants dosage was in the range of -20~-15mV in case of 5 NTU of raw water turbidity and 0~0.5mV in case of 10 NTU of that. respectively. Although the kinds and dosages of coagulants were different, zeta potential range were fixed under the conditions of the best coagulation efficiency.

A correlation analysis between raw water turbidity at two wide-area water treatment plants and hydrological data was conducted for efficient water supply, design and management of water treatment plant. Both correlation analysis and principal component analysis were conducted using hydrological time series data such as inflow discharge, outflow discharge, and rainfall at dam basin of intake station of wide-area water treatment plants. And, forecasting of change in turbidity was conducted using regression equation for turbidity prediction. The raw water turbidity of two water treatment plants was strongly related to time series of discharge. The raw water turbidity of Chungju water treatment plant is strongly related to outflow discharge at Chungju dam (0.708). Whereas, the raw water turbidity of Wabu water treatment plant is strongly related to inflow discharge at Paldang dam (0.805). Similar trends between turbidity forecasting result using regression equation and calculation result using estimation equation on Korea water supply facilities standard were obtained. The result of this study can provide basic data for construction and management of water treatment plant.

This study was carried out to find the optimum coagulation conditions for ceramic microfiltration process of Y water treatment plant. When pH of raw water from Y Dam was adjusted to 7, the efficiency of coagulation was the best and the optimun dosage of coagulant was 3 mg/L(as $Al_2O_3$) for turbidity of raw water less then 10 NTU in Jar test. In mini module test, the decay rate of specific flux was the lowest when PAC (poly Aluminum Chloride) was used among coagulants and pH was adjusted to 7. The decay rate of specific flux for raw water turbidity of 10~30 NTU was greatly decreased with increase of dosage of coagulant (PAC) while the rate was not significantly decreased for turbidity more than 50 NTU. In conclusion, the optimum dosage of PAC (11% as $Al_2O_3$) was 30 and 50 mg/L for raw water turbidity of less than 10 NTU and more than 50 NTU, respectively. The dosage of PAC should be increased linearly 30 to 50 mg/L depending on raw water turbidity of 10 to 50 NTU.

본 연구의 목적은 대청호와 하류 하천을 연계하여 연속적으로 부유물질의 이송, 확산, 침강과정을 해석 할 수 있는 통합 탁수 모델을 구축하는데 있다. 저수지와 하천을 연속적으로 모의하기 위해서 횡방향 평균 2차원 수리 수질 모델인 CE-QUAL-W2 (W2)를 사용하였다. 그러나 W2모델은 탁도를 모의 할 수 있는 알고리즘이 없기 때문에 모델 경계지점에서의 탁도-부유사(SS) 농도 상관관계를 조사하여 연속 측정된 탁도를 SS로 변환하였고, SS를 입자크기에 따라 3개의 그룹으로 나누어 각각의 침강속도가 다르게 모의하였다. 모의된 SS는 다시 저수지내 관측지점의 탁도-SS 상관관계를 이용해 탁도로 변환하여 실측값과 비교하였고, 하류 하천에서 취수하는 부여 취수장의 탁도-SS 상관관계를 이용하여 취수 원수의 탁도와 모의값을 비교하였다. 하천의 탁도는 실측값이 없는 관계로 모의된 SS를 그대로 하천의 SS 실측값과 비교하였다. 연구결과 통합모델은 저수지내에서 탁도의 수심별 농도를 잘 예측하였고 입자 크기별 침강속도를 고려한 결과 기존의 단일 SS 침강속도 모델에 비해 탁도 예측 성능이 향상되었다. 모델은 강우시 하천에서 급증하는 SS의 농도 변화를 잘 예측하였고, 금강 하류에 위치한 부여 취수장의 일별 취수 원수의 탁도 시계열 변화와도 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

Three coagulants, alum sulfate(alum), poly aluminum chloride(PAC) and poly aluminum silicate chloride (PASC), were used to remove low to high turbidity and TOC in surface and ground blended water. Laboratory experiments and pilot plant experiments were carried out to evaluate the optimal coagulant and its dosage. To determine the optimized coagulant and its dosage, the turbidity, TOC and pH were measured. The experimental results showed the best removal performance using PASC. The optimal dosage of PASC between 3-20 NTU was found to be 15 mg/L in the jar test. In the pilot test, a 15 mg/L PASC dosage was applied and resulted in the efficient removal of turbidity and TOC between 3.6-27 NTU. The removal efficiency of PASC increased with increasing turbidity and TOC.

The purpose of the study is to find ways to decrease turbidity and residual aluminum by improving the efficiency of coagulation process through controlling the pH of the source water with $CO_2$ when the pH increases by algal bloom or by the characteristics of the source water. Water quality parameters were monitored before and after $CO_2$ addition in February, March, April, and December, when the pH of the source water is over 8.0 and constant regardless of day and night. Water quality parameters closely related with evaluation of treated drinking water quality were monitored in detail, e.g. aluminum, turbidity, particle counts, TOC, THMs, 2-MIB, and geosmin. According to the results, inorganic water quality parameters such as turbidity, particle counts, and aluminum were decreased due to improved efficiency of the coagulation process. It was concluded that the pH of the water in the arrival basin must be controlled below 7.4 by adding $CO_2$ when the pH of the source water increasing. By controlling pH with $CO_2$, the water quality could be maintained within the drinking water quality goal of Seoul City (<30 particle/mL of particle count, <0.05 NTU of turbidity and <0.02 mg/L of aluminum). The change of the pH could not affect the concentrations of DBP's (e.g., THMs, CH, and HAAs) and taste/odor causing compounds (e.g., 2-MIB and geosmin). 2-MIB and geosmin were affected more by their initial concentrations in the source water.

Transient behavior of fouling resistance was observed with a laboratory-scaled, submerged microfiltration membrane system treating high-turbidity source water consisting of inorganic silica particles and humic acid. Fouling mitigation efficiency with inorganic silica particles caused by aeration was reduced significantly as both humic acid and calcium ion existed together. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that humic acid was adsorbed onto the surface of inorganic silica particles in the presence of calcium. Turbidity removal was achieved almost completely by submerged MF system regardless of feed compositions. However, the $UV_{254}$ removal of humic acid was improved in the presence of both calcium and inorganic silica particles. Additionally, increasing air-flow rate tended to increase $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency higher than 80%. This may be caused by back-transport of humic acid enhanced by inorganic silica particles providing surface for organic adsorption in the presence of calcium.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the affecting factors on streaming current(SC) and to evaluate set point(SP). For the study, a pilot scale apparatus with a capacity of 12 L/min was operated at Guui water intake of Seoul. SC was monitored with varying poly aluminium chlorides(PACs) dose and water quality parameters like conductivity, turbidity, temperature, and pH. The removal efficiencies were evaluated in terms of turbidity and dissolved organic carbon(DOC) with varying coagulation conditions. The effects of affecting factors on SC and SP were also estimated. According to the result observed from the variation of SC with water quality parameters during the experimental period, tendencies of SC and conductivity were very similar, and SC and conductivity had a strong linear relation. At the optimum condition of coagulation, SP decreased as the rainy season changed to the dry season, during the experimental period. Especially, in condition of low turbidity, conductivity had relatively more effect on SC than turbidity. As conductivity increased, SP decreased and coagulant dose per unit increase of SC gradually increased. In view of the results so far obtained, it may be possible to determine the SP range considering the real time variation of water quality, especially conductivity.
