The effects of the ratio of effective size of filter media and diatom size on filter run time were evaluated by using both reported data and experimental results from several water treatment plants. For single media at several WTPs, the range of probability of the filter run time less than 15hr was 10~60%, and for dual media, that of the filter run time less than 30hr was 10~20%. The major filter clogging algae was Synedra acus of which dominant ratio was in the range of 64~92%. The effective size(ES) of filter medium for dual media filter was 0.71~1.40mm and uniformity coefficient of the filter was 1.25~1.67. The effective size(ES) of filter medium for single medium filter was 0.52~0.65mm and uniformity coefficient of the filter was 0.25~1.40. The range of calculated penetration depth was 2.58~15.4cm for dual media and 1.29~2.17cm for single media, and average filter run time was 40.1~83.3hr and 13.9~34.9hr, respectively. When Synedra counts were over 400cells/ml for single media, filter run time was below 5hr, while filter run time for dual media filter, remained as high as 70hr.

The experiment in this study was conducted as a part of an effort to evaluate filter performance with pilot-filters consisting of one mono-media and two dual-media columns. Particle distribution analysis using a particle counter is more sensitive and better than turbidity analysis in observing particle detachments and a breakthrough. In sand media filters having 1.5 m of available head, caution is needed in the head loss of the late stages of filtration, and for dual-media filters, appropriate media configuration and effluent Quality monitoring should be used for preventing the final breakthrough. Also the time of particle breakthrough in the dual media filter can be deferred by increasing bed depth, and it is necessary to use a filtration aid prior to filtration to prevent breakthrough of these intermediate sized particles in high filtration rate.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the filtration efficiency of deep-bed filters by comparing to single and dual media filters. Pilot-plant tests using four-filter columns were conducted for the comparison of head loss development and filtered water quality. The dual-media filter showed greater initial head loss, but less rate of head-loss development than those of the coarse-sand-0deep-bed filters. For 180 m/day of filtration rate, the dual-media filter produces larger unit production rate by 30-40%, and the turbidities of filtered water were below 0.1 NTU. The initial breakthrough could be effectively controlled by the dual-media filter rather than coarse-sand-deep-bed filters.

1. 서론 : 제지산업은 용수 다소비용 산업으로, 생산하는 제품 톤당 약 40톤으로 폐수가 배출되고 있으며 공정내로 재활용하는 폐수량을 고려한다면 그 사용량은 더욱 클 것이다. 이와 같은 다량의 용수 사용으로 인하여 제지 공장의 폐수를 제조공정에서 재활용하는 방법이나 배출량을 감소시키는 방안들이 법률적이나 경제적인 측면에서 연구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 응집, 침전공정을 대신하고 여재를 이용힌 물리적 여과와 활성높은 미생물이 여재 표면에 부착되어 수중 유기물질을 생물학적으로 분해 제거하는 이중의 효과를 거둘 수 있는 호기성 생물막 공정을 도입하고 그 처리수의 유기물 및 용존 무기물을 Membrane 공정으로 제거함으로써 제지공업폐수를 재활용하여 용수기준까지 처리하 System의 개발을 그 목적으로 하였다.

The fluctuation of inlet flow to a water treatment plant makes a serious problem that it can change the filtration rate abruptly, and ultimately occur the breakthrough of the detained particles inside filter media. Also, since it takes very short time (about 10 minutes) for the surface wave occurred from the fluctuation of inlet flow to reach the filtration process, it is impossible to control the filtration rate stably. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of daily flow-rate fluctuation on the performance of sand filtration process, and to suggest the dual media composition for coping with that effect. Comparative column tests have been carried out for various dual media (sand and anthracite) compositions. From the results of column tests, dual media, especially in the case of sand 45cm/anthracite 30cm, is more effective to cope with the effect of flow-rate fluctuation on the performance of filtration than single media (only sand). In addition, irrespective of dual media composition, managing ability to cope with that fluctuation tends to be weak at the end of allowable filtration duration time,
