A comprehensive fractionation technique was applied to a set of water samples obtained along drinking water treatment process with ozonation and biological activated carbon (BAC) process to obtain detailed profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and to evaluate the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potentials of these DOM fractions. The results indicated that coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophilic fraction (28%), while removal of hydrophobic and transphilic fraction were 57% and 40%, respectively. And ozonation and BAC treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophobic fractions (6%), while removal of hydrophilic and transphilic fractions were 25% and 18%. The haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP)/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of hydrophilic fraction was the highest along the treatment train and HAAFP/DOC of hydrophilic fraction was higher than hydrophobic and transphilic fraction as 23%~30%, because of better removal for hydrophobic fraction both in concentration and reactivity.

The objective of this study was to investigate community structure of attached algae and microbes in sedimentation basin of water and wastewater treatment plants by using respiratory quinone profile. There was an evident difference, in microbial community structure and attached algae species, between inclination plate settler and drainage canal in the sedimentation basin. The algae was composed of species in following order; Chlorophyceae>Bascillariophyceae>Cyanophyceae. The dominant quinone types of attached microorganisms in the wastewater treatment plant were plastoquinone (PQ)-9, vitamin(V)K-1 followed by UQ-8, but those for water treatment plant were VK-1, PQ-9 followed by UQ-8. These results suggests that nutrients, seasons and material of sedimentation basin have notable influence on composition of attached algae and microbial community structure in water and wastewater treatment plants.

Owing to the rapid development of computer system and the introduction of image processing technique, recent photogrammetric studies have been concentrated on the automation of photogrammetric orientation work that have been carried out by skilled professionals in analog and/or analytical pbotogrammetric field. To automate the whole photogrammetric work, the automation of the orientation processes including interior, relative and absolute orientation should be preceded. This study aims to automate interior orientation and relative orientation process. For this purpose, we applied Hough transform to interior orientation process and object space matching technique to relative orientation process. As the result of this study, we can present a method to automate interior and relative orientation process that has been semi-automatically operated in most commercial digital photogrammetric workstations currently available.

This study was researched for disinfection by-products (DBPs) by preozonation, prechlorination and/or postchlorination. DBPs including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), halonitriles, and aldehydes were analyzed by the treatment steps of prechlorination, preozonation, sedimentation, filtration, and postchlorination comparatively. THMs were detected as $52.20{\mu}g/L$ after prechlorination and decreased during sedimentation and filtration process. The HAAs and aldehydes increased more during preozonaiton than prechlorination. However, chlorinated DBPs and aldehydes increased more by postchlorination. Chlorinated DBPs formed by preozonation increased 26% more than the chlorination process. If aldehydes were included in the total DBPs, DBPs increased up to 39% by preozonation. Preozonation could increase the removal efficiency of organic carbon during the coagulation and sedimentation processes. Ozonation might produce aldehydes that are not permitted for drinking water regulations. Also, DBPs were produced by preozonation than by chlorination. These results would bring a need for alternative disinfection studies to decrease DBPs.

The kinetic analysis was carried out for commercial rubbers such as NR, IR, BR, SBR 1500, and SBR 1700. Kinetic analysis for the commercial rubbers was performed using the thermogravimetric method, with which the activation energies of NR obtained by Kissinger, Friedman, and Ozawa's method were 195.0, 198.3 and 186.3kJ/mol, whereas that of SBR 1500 were 246.4, 247.5 and 254.8kJ/mol, respectively. It was shown that the yield of pyrolytic oil was generally increased with final temperature increasing, yet slightly decreased or increased over $700^{\circ}C$. Considering the effect of heating rate, it was found that the yield of pyrolytic oil was not consistent for each sample. The number average molecular weight of SBR 1500 was in the range of 740~2486. The calorific value of SBR 1500 was 39~40kJ/g, which were made comparative study of the conventional fuel such as kerosene, diesel, light fuel, and heavy fuel. Therefore it was essential that the selection of the suitable kinetic model and the mathematical solution because of the difference in parameters obtained from each method. It was proposed that the range of $600~700^{\circ}C$ in final temperature and high heating rate due to short run time. It was suggested that the pyrolytic oil be available to use to the fuel.

The performance of ozone contactor in ozone-BAC advanced water treatment process was evaluated by the degree of decomposition of organic matters. The degree was measured by the analyses of $UV_{254}$ absorbance and the concentrations of DOC and BDOC for the sand filtered water and the ozone treated water, respectively. In addition, the ozone concentration in the contactor, required for the maximum BDOC concentration, was selected as the optimum concentration, and the appropriate residential time of ozone treated water in a reservoir was recommended based on the residual ozone concentration in the treated water. The following results were obtained from the pilot scale experiments. By ozonation $UV_{254}$ absorbance was decreased, and BDOC concentration was increased. The change of DOC concentration by ozonation was negligible, but the excess input of ozone resulted in the removal of the small amount of BDOC by complete oxidation. The optimum ozone concentration was 0.58mg $O_3/mg$ DOC. In order to remove residual ozone, 20minutes of the residential time were enough after ozonation.

In this research, the $3.6m^3/day$ scale pilot plant consisting preozonation, coagulation, flocculation, and ceramic membrane processes was operated for long term period to evaluate the validity of ceramic membrane filtration process for treating lake water containing high concentration manganese. The higher concentration of dissolved manganese($Mn^{2+}$) was effectively oxidized to the bigger insoluble colloidal manganese ($MnO^2$) by 1~2 mg/L ozone. The colloidal manganese reacted with coagulant (poly aluminium chloride, PAC) and then formed the big floc. Ceramic membrane rejected effectively manganese floc during membrane filtration. Dissolved organic carbon(DOC) removal was dependent upon $Mn^{2+}$ concentration. While average $Mn^{2+}$ concentration was 0.43 and 0.85 mg/L in raw water, DOC removal rate in preozonation was 26.5 and 13.5%, respectively. The decrease rate of membrane permeability was faster without preozonation than with preozonation while membrane fouling decreased with NOM oxidation by ozone. In conclusion, raw water containing high concentration of manganese can be effectively treated in preozonation-coagulation-ceramic membrane filtration system.

The fluctuation of inlet flow to a water treatment plant makes a serious problem that it can change the outlet flowrate from each process abruptly. Since it takes very short time for the surface wave occurred from the fluctuation of inlet flow to reach the latter processes, it is impossible for operators to cope with that stably. In order to investigate the characteristics of hydraulic behavior for rectangular sedimentation basin in water treatment plant, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were employed. From the results of both CFD simulations, it was confirmed that time taken for the follow-up processes by the fluctuation in intake well can be estimated by the propagation velocity of surface waves. Also, it takes very short time for the surface wave occurred from the fluctuation of inlet flow to reach the latter processes. In the case of inlet flowerate being increased sharply, local velocity within sedimentation basin appeared as wave pattern and increased due to convection current. Also, it could be observed that vortex made local velocity in the vicinity of bottom rise.

Trihalomethanes (THMs) are formed during the chlorination of waters containing precusors compounds, most commonly humic substances, changes in pH, TOC, temperature, precusor source and concentration chlorine dosage, bromide level and reaction time directly influence trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) and kinetics. A standard THMFP experiment was conducted for each water under the following conditions ; $20^{\circ}C$, pH 7.4, reaction time of 48hr, TOC 5.7mgC/L. A series of kinetic experiments was conducted for each water to provide THM formation under varying conditions of reaction time, pH, temperature and TOC, chlorine dosage. The resultant mutiple parameter powre function predicts a THM which allows direct calculation of THM, is $[THM]=0.00039(pH-2.81)[TOC][Cl_2]^{0.321}\;t^{0.266}\;T^{0.286}$ Characteristics of raw water in advanced drinking water treatment pilot plant were, TOC levels ran from 4.42~6.84mgC/L, pH 7.2~7.8, temperature $7.0{\sim}18.4^{\circ}C$, UV-254 absorbance $0.057{\sim}0.85cm^{-1}$, THM levels ranged from 0.031~0.049mgC/L.
